Sweet university love story
This is a sweet love story during university years. Not much drama which makes it a fun and light series. I liked both main leads and of couse they are cute together. The music is surprisingly very good. What I like most is that there is a twist closer to the end of the series, and also no jealous drama which ofter happens in C-dramas.Was this review helpful to you?
My favorite C-drama/ Comedy ever
I first watch this series in 2024, and even then it was my favorite series. I have rewatch the first 15 episodes many times when I want a light series with great comedy. I have watched this series 5 times. It has the best cast, great comedy, drama, intrigue. Great chemistry with the main leads. I have watched it again season 1 and 2 in 2026. I don't get tired of it .I first watch this series in 2024, and even then it was my favorite series. I have rewatch the first 15 episodes many times when I want a light series with great comedy.

Sweet romance
This is a sweet high school to university to adult life romance. It is nice to watch and very easy to understand Mandarin with this series. Always feels good to watch a young couple discover who they are through young adulthood. I enjoyed all the characters in this story and their interactions. No drama, no jealousy, no bullingWas this review helpful to you?
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?
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?
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?
Inappropriate love affair
This is a very likable series. The actors are some of my favorite. It's a romantic drama, not a comedy. Of course it is a love affair that starts off and continues in a dysfunctional way and how can they just get out of it in a healthy way?The music is good, of course Liu Yu Ning. Maybe I am too used to conservative period C-dramas, and this one I found had too many sexual/graphic scenes, that I don't think is really necessary. That is the only disappointing part about this drama. Less is better.

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?
Political intrigue at it's best
This has become one of my favorite political period drama. It has amazing writing, witty humour, suspense romance and the most stressful intrigue. It is a bing watching C-drama at its best. It was aired in 2018, but one of the best I think. It can easily be compared to my favorites like: Joy of Life, Love like the Galaxy, Lost You Forever. I did not know the main lead, as he doesn't seem to continue making C-dramas for the last few years. The cast are very well known.I truly enjoyed every episodes. Of course 70 episodes is a lot. The first 60 episodes are a mixed of humour, with political drama and intrigue. The last 10 episodes is a long dramatic conclusion.

Amazingly funny
This is an amazing series. Every episode is intriguing and captivating, with humour. I had some difficulty following the political plot but still manage to enjoy every episode. All the characters are well developed and have their own lovely personalities.I love the humour, it is mixed in with the political plot and romantic story. True that 40 episodes is long and the last 10 episodes were more drama than a mix of comedy and drama.
