Sweet youth romance
This was a sweet youth clean romance. Nice to see a movie that brings all the right story in only 100 minutes.This series does not have any drama and jealous friends. It was just perfect for a quiet evening. Sometimes series are too long and have comedy mixed with drama but this length was just perfect.

Romantic drama with family feuds
I truly appreciate the three main leads as they are fantastic actors. This is a drama more than a comedy. There is a lot of family feuds and plotting against each other, and at time difficult to watch. I did fast forward many of the family feud episodes.Personal choice is important when writing reviews as I personally like light romantic comedies of political dramas.

Drama series with great cast
Drama series, I did hope for a different ending. The cast is well known and worked well together. I did fast forward some episode as I was hoping for more of a romantic series. I have watch many series with these main leads and of cours Johnny Huang is great in any series he is part of. I found 30 episodes a bit too long.Was this review helpful to you?
Sweet coming of age series
This is a very sweet coming of age series. 24 episodes is just right and the story of course; dealing with the pressures of being in high school, then teenage emotions with added parental pressures to succeed at such a young age. It makes us want to do better as parents and look back on our youth, and how sweet it can be.Was this review helpful to you?
Romantic comedy/drama
This series starts out with a lot of comedy, then it brings in some light drama. The cast is great, this is a good story. By the middle of the series the lawyers deal with some cases, which is just not what I enjoy. Overall it is a great series. I just did not finish the series as the conclusion seems to be before the ending.Was this review helpful to you?
Well worth watching
I thoroughly enjoyed this series. It has a great cast of actors, and the story line kept me watching. There are different stories of each character and some twists during the plot that are surprising. Period drama with sweet female lead that makes us count our blessings for living in our era where women have many choices.Was this review helpful to you?
Fantasy , Murder Mystery, Espionage & Comedy
I started watching this series because of the cast. I usually don't like fantasy series but I can make some exceptions when the story is captivating. This series has a mix of fantasy, espionage, murder mystery and some great comedy from one of the actors that makes it funny. The story is good if you explain it as political intrigue inside and outside a country.I did fast forward a lot of this series as it seems to be going on slow motion.

Part 2 is even better than part 1
As someone who doesn't usually watch fantasy series I did binge watch both part 1 and part 2 of this series and thoroughly enjoyed them. All the cast are well known and exceptional in these roles. The music is memorable and overall this series surpassed my bias regarding fantasy series. If you have the time watch both part 1 and part 2 one after the other.Was this review helpful to you?
A Must Watch
I usually do not like fantasy series but this one is the exception. It is part 1 of 2 and both are a must watch series with such a complet cast, I truly enjoyed binge watching both series. If you choose a period drama series with loveable characters this is the one for you. Part 2 was even better than this part 1.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the best series
This is a series that I count as one of the best series ever made. The humour, the political intrigue, the cast. It is for sure one of the best entertaining Chinese series. Because of the great content it is always a pleasure to re-watch this series.It is part 1 of two as of 2026, and soon to be a part 3.
I am awaiting part 3 with enthusiasm. and will probably watch part 2 again just before watching part 3.

Sweet historical series
How sweet how they created this 1970s historical political series. How difficult it would have been to be living in those times in China. A learning experience to watch this series and the creators were able to make this as sweet and realistic as possible with the hardships of those times. Watching the main leads together was a gem.Was this review helpful to you?
wonderful series
This series has intrigue, corporate espionage, female strength of character, everything you want to watch in a series. Great actors with perfect roles for them. There are 36 episodes and I always find that after 30 episodes any series could end, this is the same with this series. I like main male lead as he seems to chooses to work in series with dept of character.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the best historical dramas
This has to be one of the best historical dramas. I also read up on the true historical characters and it was all correct.The events take place before the 1911 Chinese revolution.
Some unknown main actors to me but such good storyline, and performances.
A 10 star for sure and a must watch

Airforce story
If you like history and military series, this one is for you. I truly enjoyed the actors, some much older with great acting skills that made the story even more interesting. Lots of airplanes flying, and the main leads are great to watch. Some comedy, as expected from Zhu Ya Wen. He is always fun to watch. I didn't yet finish the series as I am taking a break from all the flying scenes.Was this review helpful to you?
Individual litigation stories
This series is a compilation of different litigation stories. Interesting that in a few episode we can see the development of each litigation case. The actors are well knows and wonderful to watch. I decided to take a break after episode 12 and to continue with another case series at a later date. If you enjoy lawyers stories this is very well done.Was this review helpful to you?
