The Love Story of a Handsome Divorce Advocate
Abuse, infidelity, divorce and fighting over inheritance are the colors in this drama which is an adaptation of the web novel "What Comes Around Goes Around" (你也有今天) by Ye Fei Ran (叶斐然). Exciting! Ye Fei Ran successfully mixed his romantic drama with articles in the marriage law, including loopholes that can be used to win a lawsuit.The casting is also clever. The seven advocates are beautiful and handsome. Typical Chinese drama. 😊😊 Their acting is very capable, and most importantly: The two main actors managed to provide adorable chemistry!
Romantic scenes intertwine with hilarious behavior, including Tan Li Min who plays Qian Heng's mother, and He Wen Jun who plays lawyer Bao Rui.
Unfortunately, screenwriter Li Jing Ling was so engrossed in concocting casting and scenes that she failed to compose the story as a whole. The puzzles are scattered, don't connect, and don't complement each other.
Like the story of Cheng Yao who still has an older sister named Cheng Xi and intact parents. They only appear before scenes that cause friction. Cheng Xi suddenly appears to entrust a puppy that Qian Heng doesn't like.
Cheng Yao's parents suddenly appeared at Cheng Yao and Qian Heng's rental house. And coincidentally they caught Qian Heng on a date planned by Cheng Yao and Qian Heng's mother.
They appear without a prologue that they are a close-knit family like families in eastern culture.
Another hole is the scene of proving family relationships with a DNA Paternity Test which seems easy. The fact is, it's not that simple.
No wonder the Chinese drama "My Boss" only got a rating of 8.0 on Mydramalist. The numbers are actually quite good. Perhaps the audience appreciates the difficulty of novel writers and screenwriters in presenting drama in dealing with divorce cases, complete with legal regulations.
Hehehe, imagine Chen Xing Xu as lawyer Qian Heng memorizing chapter and verse completely. If you make a mistake, a real lawyer will sue you. 😀😀
So, eniwei baswei…. Chinese drama "My Boss" is recommended to enjoy. Just don't think about imitating.😊😊

Omaygat, I think there are only Chinese dramas that highlight good looks and beauty. It turns out that I also encountered this scene in the drama "Business Proposal"
Overall, the Korean drama "Business Proposal" is indeed similar to Chinese dramas such as the dramas "Love in Time" and "Be with You" which are studded with accidental, coincidental and 'magic' scenes.
What is meant by magic is an unreasonable scene like, suddenly Shin Ha Ri opens an umbrella for Kang Tae Moo, even though his hands were empty before, he didn't bring an umbrella. ️
There is also a coincidental scene that ends in a cliché like when Shin Ha Ri is afraid that her grandfather, Kang Tae Moo, who is desperate to defecate, pulls each other on the door handle and ends up falling for the grandfather.
The grandfather is the owner of an international company, you know, why isn't he escorted until he gets the right facilities? ️
But.., because the drama "Business Proposal" is studded with beautiful and handsome stars, I really recommend watching it for entertainment and not to be annoyed.😃😃
Very happy to see the acting and beauty of Seol In-A who once played the role of Jo Hwa-Jin in Mr. Queen, who formed a friendship with the beautiful Kim Se-Jeong
And the bromance between the handsome Kim Min-Kyu and Ahn Hyo-Seop.
That is, the drama could present a story that does not make sense. However, it is obligatory to provide maximum entertainment for the audience.

About the Mighty Chinese Woman
Do you often get carried away, feel annoyed with the behavior of the antagonist?If yes, please watch the drama “Ni Chang”. There is the figure of Yan Wen Xiu who is very annoying. Yan Wen Xiu's malicious attempts were all made. Starting from locking Ni Chang, slandering Ni Chang, to telling people to break Ni Chang's fingers so they can't embroider anymore.
Yan Wen Xiu's behavior of wanting to marry Su Wen Yu was a point in itself. How the trick was done so that he could still get married without the presence of Su Wen Yu who firmly rejected him.
However, the screenwriter skillfully aimed at the other side of Yan Wen Xiu. This beautiful woman who is always vicious turns out to be haunted by feelings of guilt for accidentally setting the hermitage on fire and causing Master Yuan Niang's death.
Yan Wen Xiu also wept bitterly on the first day of having to give up his body for power.
Humans have two sides, right?
The drama “Ni Chang” reminds me of the Korean drama “A Jewel in the Palace” about a girl named Seo Jang-Geum who started her career from zero to become a cooking expert, then became a healer.
Likewise, Ni Chang, who started his career as a textile expert, continued to study herbs and became a herbal expert as well.
Unfortunately, the writer of the drama "Ni Chang" is not coherent in compiling the story. There are fragments that do not connect smoothly. Even in some episodes it feels annoying..
Fortunately, the cinematography of the drama "Ni Chang" is very pleasing to the eye. The costumes of the players are adorned with waving, very beautiful. This is indeed a striking difference between Korean dramas and Chinese dramas. Costumes in Korean dramas strengthen the character of the actor/actress to look dashing and beautiful.
But overall the drama "Ni Chang" is quite recommended. Fifty episodes just feels right. The love story of Ni Chang and his prince is not exaggerated.
And of course the scenes of Bi Wen Jun as Ou Yang Ziyu who has amnesia and acts like a child.
Really entertaining. Contrary to his role as doctor Ai Jing Chu, in the drama "Sweet Teeth" which is cold as ice in the north pole.

Time Travel of a Foodie
The drama Gourmet in Tang Dynasty reminds me of the Korean drama "Mr Queen", but sweeter. The reason may be that Yan Xiao Xiao is a woman who entered Yuan Wan Er's body who is also a woman.While in the Korean drama "Mr Queen", Queen Kim So-Yong was entered by the spirit of Chef Jang Bong-Hwan. Without even a funny scene, the audience's fantasy is already wandering.😀😀
Before the drama "Mr Queen" aired in 2020, the Chinese entertainment industry had produced a similar drama titled "Go Princess, Go! (2015) Showing on the YouTube channel, I only watched a few episodes, then stopped. The drama is bad. Make you feel good.
Although made based on the same novel, "The Promotion Record of a Crown Princess" by Xian Cheng, the drama Go Princess, Go! is made funny, complete with interior design that wants to be witty, but is actually ridiculous.
Unlike the drama "Gourmet in Tang Dynasty". Overall it's okay, even if you make an analogy, the storyline of this drama feels like riding a 4-wheeled vehicle whose drivers are just learning to drive.😢😢
Li Zi Xuan who plays as Yuan Wan Er dominates the story. The acting is sweet, witty and cute. Plus a flirtatious soundtrack, and the duration is not too long / long, the Chinese drama "Gourmet in Tang Dynasty" is really recommended as an entertaining spectacle.
I read the comments on the mydramalist site, many viewers hoped that there would be a continuation of Yuan Wan Er and Bai Yi Ming's romance,
Yes, we'll just have to wait.

Choose Lover or Friend?
Wow, the music is cool! Cheerful spirit. As if made specifically, making the drama "She was Pretty" as a whole was sweet.Indeed, it can't compete with the original version which makes it exciting.. Kim Hye-Jin and Min Ha Ri's friendship is awesome because they love each other so much that they call each other "my husband-my wife".
Hwang Jung Eum's expressive acting in the original is also hard to match. As an analogy, the original version of “She was Pretty” is like a fruit cake full of flavor, which is made from various fruits, honey and nuts.
While the Japanese version of the drama "She was Pretty" only tastes sweet. Even though it's still far superior to the Chinese version, the drama "Pretty Li Hui Zhen" is fiddly and poorly cast.
Fuka Koshiba as Ai Sato (of course according to the scenario) is not as expressive as Hwang Jung Eum as Kim Hye Jin. But the chemistry with Kento Nakajima as Sosuke Hasebe, is no less slick.
Drama remake auto compared to the original version. Must be better or different. Well, the difference between the Japanese version of the drama "She was Pretty" is in its cinematography. Nice!
Cameramen play with angles, lighting, and other techniques. So that the audience is spoiled with beautiful visualizations.
Want to watch the drama She was Pretty? The original version/Korean drama can be seen on the RCTI+ app, the Chinese version of “Pretty Li Hui Zhen” is on Viu.com, while the Japanese version of “She was Pretty” recently ended on the WeTV app.

Not Wrong Living Poor
12 solid episodes.The scenario writer for the Korean drama "Little Women" seemed to be challenged, having to compose a work consisting of a set of colorful puzzles, with different themes and colors.
It takes the ability to place the right bridging so that the audience is comfortable from start to finish.
The poor family puzzle, combined with the friendship puzzle, the journalist world puzzle, the election intrigue puzzle, the disturbed mental health puzzle and other puzzles, must be put together in 12 episodes.
Not easy. But writernim is quite successful. At least the audience isn't confused when watching the Korean drama "Little Women" from start to finish. Although it must be admitted that many holes appear. One of them was when Won Sang-A trapped Oh In-Joo and Jin Hwa-Young in an orchid room. The climax needed for dramatic effect.
The Korean drama "Little Women" is recommended because it is filled with top South Korean actors/actresses. Among them, the antagonist Uhm Ki-Joon has become increasingly popular since playing Joo Dan-Tae in the Korean drama Penthouse (1,2,3).
His role as Park Jae-Sang in the Korean drama "Little Women" was truly unexpected. The audience, who initially resented him, turned pity to see Park Jae-Sang humiliated by his wife, and even told to commit suicide.
Regarding the main cast not being united in the last episode, it doesn't seem to be a problem. In fact, the audience can imagine that one day the two of them will meet.
Sweet, right?
