a pleasant surprise

I was committed and watching mostly daily. It has many good points

What I liked :
- the acting was great
- I really like the cinematography and this drama was really beautifully filmed, great camera work too. I personally really liked the scenes at the waterfall and the one near the lake when they were throwing the piece (the colors looked beautiful here). Even the scenes with ML riding a horse, it looked great and good that he was actually riding a real horse
- the leads characters were the best. Strong and intelligent ML and FL, a perfect match. Their characters were well written and captivating. Badass couple, that complement each other.
- the chemistry was perfect, their relationship and skinship looked so natural. Their hugs always felt so comforting. The actors were also really expressive with their eyes, we could felt their emotions.
- I’m still marked with some really good scenes like :
-> when he left to war, the divorce letter and her going after him. them talking and hugging after that
-> the breakup scene at the waterfall
-> them fighting side by side in the last ep, that was awesome
etc….
- The side couples were also interesting to me at some level
- I liked watching ML slowly falling in love. Even if he was lying, he still treated her right and was a pretty good husband
- I really loved the music, the OST is beautiful
- the costumes were great
- I liked the empress character. She was kind and such a good person, she deserved the world
- Lord Zhao was funny, I liked his friendship with ML
- the emperor : was quite a bit annoying at first and he is actually pretty weak, but at least he is a good emperor and it was good to let go of his thing for FL, working with ML and finally maybe starting something with his empress
- I liked how ML’s mom gradually started to like her daughter-in-law
- the wedding: truly amazing. We spended a lot of screen time on the wedding-wedding night. That was perfect❤️and they looked stunning
- had some funny moments
- not really any stupid love triangle
- happy ending for all the couples, maybe I wished it would have been a longer epilogue, seeing kids could have been cute too
- I think the last fight and last few eps were exciting, their plan and how it went down. Maybe a bit basic for the villain, but not disappointing


On some other notes :
- it was quite annoying his aunt and cousin, at least some character development for the cousin. Her mom really ruined her
- Personally, the separation was too long…. and it was getting a bit annoying
- had some boring moments and the beginning was a bit slow (even if I enjoyed watching the leads and their chemistry, they got a lot of screen time together too)
- I wish past ep 31, when they got back together, we could have gotten another kiss or more romantic scenes ? maybe another cuddle in bed, I don’t know. We still got some good moments, but maybe I would have liked more. Or just more scenes with the leads

I would recommend, I liked it more than I thought I would

Great romance and relationships

Before starting, this had already some trope and actors that I liked, it was already a win. Light watch full of romance

The good :
- Great chemistry between the leads, the kissing scenes were decent
- good characters
- healthy and strong relationships, lot of skinship
- I really loved the development of the relationship between the leads.
- I liked how it’s started, them being suitable partners and deciding to get together and spend their life together. wish I could find a good men and do that ahaha
- no breakup or any misunderstanding/problems really. A bit at the beginning, but that’s understandable even if FL annoyed me a bit for like 1 ep? The leads were together from like the beginning to end
- both had flaws at the beginning, but they helped each other and grow together
- both have such good and supporting parents, that was truly refreshing. One of the really good point for me. That was so good, no annoying parents. I like how both their families were spending time together.
- The acting was great. Mainly during the parts of ML’s mother death, both actors acted really well. I cried too. The secondary actors were good too.
- I liked the friendship between FL and her best friend. I still remember went she throw up on FL’s ex and she said « trash on trash » that was such a good line to me ahah
- I enjoyed the work place, the plot and the work at the bank actually interested me
- I loved the evolution at work, at first the employee who didn’t like ML and everything. But later on how everyone became friends and supportive of each other. Rao and Zhao being good mentor to FL
- the relationship between FL and Rao Jing was great
- one of the things I love the most is definitely the relationship between Rao and Zhao. I absolutely love this couple and to see their journey as coworkers teasing/bickering to married and parents. They were funny and entertaining. Amazing chemistry and I was always waiting for their scenes. I knew from their first appearance they would become a couple. At least they didn’t get together to late (ep 24 ?), I think that was decent (sometimes feel like second couple can get together pretty late) and no breakup
- third couple, felt like filler, wasn’t much interested in them, but I didn’t skip them. their relationship was doomed a while ago. I’m not a fan of ex trope, but they were still cute, they gave of a good kissing scene too. As their story was progressing, it was getting worst, the issue was to big. She really made an effort to make it work and accommodate herself to his way of living… I was on her side at the end to be honest. I didn’t like how they made them meet again at the end of the drama, this relationship will never work with their social differences and their respective family
- good happy ending
- I absolutely love the music
- the epilogue at the end of every ep were cute, I liked that
- FL’s ex was only present a little at the beginning

Negative:
- I still would have liked better for them to be married from the beginning, that’s what I expected from the sypnosis, that was misleading. They only got married at the end. But it was still good how it turned out
- could be a bit boring, but it’s the same for every drama to me, nothing can be completely perfect without any boring moments
- the annoying girl who liked ML was so annoying and delusional. thank got she wasn’t present for many episodes and we didn’t see much or her, her screentime wasn’t much. And her trying to screw FL at work didn’t work
- Now, I don’t mean the fact that ML was in love with FL for like 10 years… even if it still a bit wth but I feel like it was a bit much. Him leaving when she got a boyfriend, checking up her social media for 10 years sometimes, then oh, he saw she’s now single, return to China and organize to finally get is chance to be with her. Plan everything to meet her, looking at her from afar at work and blah blah blah it had a bit of a stalker vibe ahah but like anyway, bro loved her so much and FL didn’t seemed bothered when she found out. I had to say it


I recommend this drama

Don’t know if I should mention this with this review or if there is a different page, but the special ep was disappointing for the leads. It was perfect for the second couple, but they went and made it regarding work for the leads. They could have give us kids or something else

A good watch for me

I was patiently waiting every weekend for more episodes.

There are many things I love about this drama :
- the fact that it’s fast pace.
- there is something happening every episode and satisfying scenes
- love the leads chemistry
- ML’s family (except the brother) is wholesome. She finally found a family to give her the love she deserves, with her mother too.
- I always get spoiled because I love it, but we have some pretty interesting twists
- ML is such a green flag
- Both leads help each other and heal each other. They are each other safe place and home
- I found the revenge pretty satisfying, even if the father should have suffer more maybe. But still, in the end she’s on good terms with her dad and grandpa. That still okay for me.
- FL’s leads « family » and the ex + his family were so crazy and delusional. I was shock at time and it was something to watch. I was kept entertained
- perfect happy ending
- I was laughing so hard at the ex and the « sister » ending and when she showed up. The karma, he wanted her, he got her. Now a life of misery awaits them ahah got what they deserved
- the villain’s acting was so good, they were good at making us hate them


Some minus point :
- FL was kinda weak, got better towards the end
- I would have liked more romance, but since the plot is interesting and the revenge is more the focus, it’s okay. We still got sweets moments.
- I’m sorry, but ML’s wardrobe was hideous. It looked so bad for most of the drama.

Probably one of my favorite drama. I wasn’t bored, no unnecessary scenes and pretty satisfying. It keeps us hooked for more

Nice drama with a beautiful ending

I really like this drama, it made me emotional and smile a lot. The leads have good chemistry and I love their relationship. The kissing scenes weren’t really good but you could still feel their amazing chemistry. They were together for many episodes, I love that in dramas.

I also really loved the second couple and we got to see a lot of them. They were really cute too.

The only things that I hated is the annoying second lead who have an unrequited love for FL. It took him more than 30 eps to finally move on. I would have loved for that to happening sooner so we could have seen more of his relationship with 3FL. I was invested in this 3rd couple too, we can consider their ending happy. They are not officially a couple, but they reunited at the end, I was happy about that.
I also hated the unnecessary and stupid breakup, but it didn’t last long.

Overall I love all the couples and the story. The romance was amazing for me. The rescue scenes were good and I liked the training plot with the dogs. I didn’t find it boring and I enjoyed the drama from beggining to end.

Also a very positive point for me was the ending. I love it so much, one of my favorite cdrama ending ever. I love a long ending, a happy ending of a few min or sec is annoying as fuck. It was beautiful, we saw their happy moment, proposal, wedding and a bit after (fast forward 1 years later). Also, we got to see ending for all 3 couples. The last scene was beautiful too. A real 10/10 ending for me❤️❤️

I would recommend this drama

could have been better

The leads have good chemistry, but the plot was annoying.

So many misunderstanding and lack of communication. I know it was to extend the drama, but it was exhausting.

Also, poor ML was stabbed and hurt so many times because of FL. I loved the ML, but FL was stupid and so easily manipulated.

at least happy ending

for a short minutes drama it wasn't bad, but it could have been better

I would have liked better a plot with FL knowing the truth and them working together sooner than her being manipulated many times by the SL and always turning her back on ML

The first part was a bit slow, but the second part was so good. The plot was interesting and the battle scene so good. The scene where he takes revenge and kill to avenge his family was amazingly done. The acting was on point and the ending was beautiful.

I cried when the empress died, it was so sad. The emperor was funny and I love the relationship between the emperor and empress with the leads.
The plot twist were also good.

The only minus is that they did not give us their wedding ahah and their kissing scene were not good in my opinion but the chemistry was great.

3 stories, friendship and love

3 couples’s stories, I will do a review for each part and add some comments as we go on. this is airing for months ahah I’ll forget everything. (I already did a little😂😂) first of all, I really like the concept of 8 eps for each story, different leads and support cast for each story. We have seen for now the transition from first to second story and I think it’s well done, it still all related.

#1. Arm & Arc (eps 1-8) : 10/10

I honestly loved Arm and Arc story. Didn’t felt bored at all and I was waiting every week.
- For me the chemistry between Force and Book is great, I’ve seen a few other BL with them too
- the 2 friends groups were very good, this part had a really good support cast. The trio with Arm, Sand and Pipo was so damn funny to me, they made me have a good laugh. poor JJ character the third wheel ahah his friend abandoning him for their boyfriends and poor him went he had to play soccer. bro was traumatized. they all shared on brain cells 😂😂 or the scene when Arc was calling Arm and they where at the bar. them going into the car and faking they were in the dorm. Arc appearing in front of the car was very funny. Also Arc friends group. The teasing and shipper friends ahah also some good support and conversation. like Arm and Gawin’s character conversation on the couch that one episode. them also helping Pond and Sand. There was also the other 2 members of the prefect 10 liners
- I loved the bickering relationship between Arm and Arc. teasing/being mean the person you like, finds it funny and interesting dynamic
- Arc facial expressions and jealousy got me everytime.
- I think they did good for kissing scenes and NC scenes
- second couple (Sand and Pond) : got enough screentime and their story was also interesting and developed well.
- this was mostly unserious, but we also got more serious moments. Like one of the beach scene, the conversation between Arm and Arc, his past story about his breakup. Arc was actually a pretty green flag boyfriend. reassuring, considering, supportive, caring, etc… name it.
- the 1 years « situationship » was a bit weird ahah but they were acting likes boyfriends since a long time ago
- I liked it when they showed the backstory with the flashbacks. Arc actually felt first and had eyes on him even before. Throw back to the first day in the auditorium. Arm on the stage and his friend to Arc : « isn’t he cute » and Arc responding : « no he isn’t. look how dumb he looks right now ». then he proceeds to smile. Bro smitten at first sight. the other flashbacks, like when Arm had fallen in the auditorium an other time and Arc was there.
- The fight episode. After Arm and his friends got into a fight, after that Arc going to beat up that guy, that was hot ahaha

#2. Yotha & Gun (eps 9-16)
Well watched eps 9-12, not really feeling it, maybe I’ll binge watch later
#3. Faifa & Wine (eps 17-24)
