Started good but it became dragging
The Prisoner of Beauty started off strong with a promising premise, intriguing political tension, and some entertaining characters. I especially loved General Wei Liang — his character brought comic relief and depth, and his scenes were often the most engaging. His personality gave the story a unique charm.However, the series eventually became dragging and uneven, especially in the latter half. I had high expectations for Wei Zhao, the male lead, but unfortunately, he fell short. Despite being labeled a general, his fighting skills were unimpressive, and his war strategies lacked depth and believability. It’s genuinely puzzling how someone with such mediocre leadership was written as a top military figure. His character felt underdeveloped and failed to live up to the potential his role demanded.
On the other hand, Manman, his wife, was portrayed as perfect — intelligent, capable, and consistently outshining everyone, including Wei Zhao. While strong female leads are always welcome, it felt unbalanced. Manman overshadowed Wei Zhao to the point that he appeared below average, which weakened the couple’s dynamic and left his arc feeling incomplete and unfair.
In short, the series had good elements, particularly at the beginning, and Wei Liang made it worth watching. But the poor treatment of Wei Zhao’s character and the dragged-out pacing in later episodes held it back from being great.

Ten out of Ten
The First Frost is a beautifully crafted drama that stands out with its compelling storytelling, emotional depth, and unforgettable characters. Even from the start, the series delivers a perfect balance of romance, humor, and heartfelt moments, making it one of the most memorable love dramas of recent years.Bai Jingting shines as Sang Yan, effortlessly bringing charm, wit, and emotional nuance to the character. Unlike the typical cold male lead, Sang Yan is warm, humorous, and deeply loyal, making him my instant favorite. His character development is outstanding—showcasing his journey from a mischievous older brother to a mature deeply caring partner. Bai Jingting’s natural acting style makes every scene feel authentic, and his chemistry with the zhang rounan is electric.
The cinematography is breathtaking, with stunning visuals that enhance the emotions of each scene.
Overall, The First Frost is a must-watch, especially for those who appreciate well-written characters and a romance that feels both real and deeply touching. Bai Jingting’s portrayal of Sang Yan is one of the drama’s biggest highlights, solidifying his status as one of the best actors in the industry today.

A masterpiece
Love of Nirvana is a brilliantly acted drama that delivers depth, suspense, and emotional impact from start to finish. Ren Jialun’s portrayal of Wei Jiao is outstanding—his stoic strength, inner conflict, and sharp mind make him unforgettable. But what truly sets this drama apart is how every main character shines. Jeremy Xu commands the screen with his presence and strategy, giving his role a quiet intensity that's impossible to ignore. Li Landi brings intelligence, grace, and fierce determination to her character, proving she’s no damsel—she’s a force. The mental duels and emotional tension among the three are so well-balanced, it’s impossible to say who outshines the others. All are brilliant in their own right, making this drama a masterclass in storytelling and performance.Was this review helpful to you?
Boring and hyped
I honestly don’t understand the hype around Hidden Love. This drama is painfully slow, predictable, and lacks any real emotional depth.Zhao Lusi’s character, Sang Zhi, is frustratingly boring and weak. Meanwhile, Duan Jiaxu (Chen Zheyuan) is bland and lacks depth—his only personality trait is being the “nice guy.” The supposed “slow-burn” romance feels forced rather than natural, and their chemistry is nothing special.
On top of that, the pacing is atrociously slow. Episodes drag on with unnecessary scenes that add nothing to the story. The drama romanticizes unhealthy relationship dynamics, making it even harder to enjoy. If you’re looking for a well-written, engaging romance, this is NOT it.

Boring and nothing new
Same old plot. Is there nothing new? The girl is a red flag. The guy is a green flag. He doesnt deserve a girl who is so obsessed with her ex. She is not even that pretty for a guy to chase after her. There's nothing to watch except for zhang linghe's face. it turned into a frustrating, repetitive cycle of indecision on the fl's part. The plot drags on, relying on the same push-and-pull dynamic in every episode. Rather than growing, the characters remain stuck in a never-ending loop of poor decisions. There is no chemistry between. the storytelling is weak and lack of satisfying character development.Was this review helpful to you?
