New plot and decent acting.

I watched this because Yi Hang and the plot was quite new the reborn ML x transmigrated FL. Guo Xin Yu is perfect for this role, working class FL who trapped in ancient time. The costumes, makeup, and props are excellent. Even the supporting casts doing great job too.

It's a sweet and angsty story with a happy ending. In her past life, the original FL conspired with the ML's mother, the Empress Dowager, and his younger brother, the Regent, to poison him, helping the Regent seize the throne. ML vowed never to be so compassionate again and was reborn.

New FL is a medical master's student, transmigrates into the novel, wanting to protect the kind-hearted ML. However, she encounters the newly reborn ML at the beginning, and her beloved becomes a tyrant, starting a hellish survival mode. FL has to juggle both the ML and the Empress Dowager, barely surviving. Fortunately, FL is smart, quickly deducing that the ML is a reincarnated person. The process ML gradually falling in love with the FL doesn't feel abrupt. The moment i like from this drama is about FL and her father, Prime Minister was really touching,

However, the later parts are a bit forced to add the duration and the kissing scenes are below average and the chemistry between the main leads are barely minimum.

Still decent watch.

I disliked the ML character

OK I was saving this drama in my shelf since i didn't have mood to watch Miqi at that time and I watched this last week.

The actual drama was below average to my liking and yeah the voice was being dubbed has not making this drama better. Wang Haozhen still delivers his acting but Miqi is quite weak on terms of acting too bad i quite like her looks. Considering Miqi she never do real kiss (there is only one but yeah she always do tricks on kissing scene).

The blood-drawing trope is so uncool! Treating it as a way to repay a debt of gratitude is even more uncool. I forced myself since i am quite lenient person. Fortunately FL was smart by using pig blood. ML was quite bad person and didn't deserve FL at all.

Only recommended to hardcore fans.

They should connect this season with season 2 instead

The overall quality is still above average, although it didn't surprise me, it's still okay.

It would be even better if this season were combined with the second season. Only the dramatic conflict at the end of the second season would be retained, with the third season featuring sweet interactions and a resolution, plus a bit more of the older brother + sweet girl storyline, and the decent guy + firecracker sister storyline.

SFL finally gets divorced this season, but given her personality, she probably won't even realize what she did wrong in the end.

I feel like this season is probably the real last one. The ending includes the ML's confession and love letter, and their wedding—a happy ending!

It was nice trilogy despite the flaws. Recommended to watch.

Not Usual Reincarnation Drama

I just randomly watch for Lin Jingye and found this drama.

I initially thought the plot would be a bit angsty, but it wasn't at all. The FL is remarkably clear-headed after her rebirth. Li Jingye perfectly captures the clarity after rebirth. Zhang Liren needs to catch up to his acting since his expression looks same in every scene.

In her previous life, FL used every means to force marriage to pursue ML, only to be met with disgust and depression. Upon being reborn, she had only one thought: stay away from him and get a divorce. ML was shocked to see FL sudden change and he become eavesdrop enjoyer to hear every FL plans. Even when the mistress was come, FL just teach her how to get ML instead of throwing tantrum like her first life. ML begins to relentlessly pursue FL, only to discover that he has long harbored feelings for her.

Personally I don't understand why FL in first life was so infatuated with ML since there is not enough backstory about them before and never think she was good person in first life.

Still decent to watch.

Broken soul entangled to each other

I was quite skeptical with Li Ruoqi drama since two of her drama with Zhang Beixi and Charon make me dissatisfied and tried this as last resort. And it was far better than two dramas that i mentioned even it was not her best drama.

Both the ML and FL are the second children who never been favored in their original families. One is after power, and the other is after love, so they hit it off and start a sweet new life after marriage. I like FL and ML buddies they are supportive circle for the leads.

FL's character is very clear-headed. Her transition from having ulterior motives to genuinely caring for the ML is very natural and not awkward at all. Li Ruoqi should take role that show vulnerable side of FL instead since it was her forte instead getting righteous FL.

Li Shengjie is good at playing good nature ML and his smiling was a healing for FL. I like his chemistry with Li Ruoqi feel so natural and sweet.

The FL sister part was not that good i was fast forwarding when she appeared.

Recommended to watch.

Another tortuous drama to FL

I watched this when i was on Huang Yunyun marathon drama last year and i don't recommend this despite FL and Child actor great acting in here. Jin Jiayu acts naturally as scumbag.

This plot is generic is about FL who wants save the seriously injured ML, was forced to leave and raise their child alone. Seven years later, their child has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. FL seeks out ML, wanting to have a second child to save the child, but the ML harbors resentment because he mistakenly believes FL abandoned him seven years ago.

There is not good thing and character development on ML and the plot hole he supposed to be disabled but somehow he can walk freely and suddenly he is on his wheelchair again. FL was too weak and she falls into damsel in distress again.

Avoid this.

Hope in the season 4 they wont use Wang Peiyan character as a joke anymore.

Finally i have mood to writing review about Tainai and the greatest things in this drama are supporting casts especially the brothers (the grandpa's also included in this) so it was expected to getting popular.

Personally Li Keyi as Rong Yun was average because if the supporting cast was from unknown actors the result is absolutely different.

The earlier episodes had some flaws; for example, the woman was pregnant, and a DNA test could have been done directly, but they dragged it out for several episodes. The later plot was good even they added so many F4 reference, Yuyin scene in Good Girl, etc but maybe the jokes didn't make me laugh or i was too tensed when i watch this.

Chen Tianxiang in here was so refreshing and his role was an significant role quite like his tandem with Wu Tianhao. Personally Meng Na character was unnecessary in this story and her acting is her comfort zone. One of the cons of this drama is they are over the line with Wang Pei Yan slapstick joke and his character was like the idiom frog in a coconut shell by scriptwriter.

Still decent watch and personally Tinghuadao are milking this series and making Tainai 4 with Cai Xinyang as Li Keyi's love interest.

Recommended to watch for stellar supporting casts.

The Great Grandma reference is letdown for me.

I already watched Yunmiao 5 and want to make review about this drama.

My biggest pet peeve this drama its similarly same to Tainai at the first and it feels lack of originality previous Yunmiao series.

Xue Binhong's fake eunuch setting and appearance add some comedic style to the drama, the plot is smooth, the pace is a bit slow at the beginning, but the pace is good after the obsession appears.

There's still a lot of verbal sparring, and the pacing hasn't improved significantly. The first story was decent, with some unexpected twists. The plot is driven purely by dialogue, making it difficult for the audience to connect with the story.

It really lacks the mysterious surprise of the first time. After the Empress's death and the appearance of the fourth princess's obsession, it enters the familiar rhythm of solving cases and helping to resolve obsessions. The character design and plot of the little girl Yun Xi acting are outstanding.

This is how i see the best Yunmiao series 1>4>3>2>5

Too many verbal-sparring

I tried to watch Li Jingye drama since she was familiar to me but i didn't know her name and it was first time to see Chai Haochen drama. Both of leads acting are decent especially Li Jingye. Chai Haochen still need to learn to make expression in his face his face was too poker face for entire time or maybe it just his concept so i don't know.

Plot is about Father favors the younger daughter aka SFL to excess, making her a spoiled brat princess; marry nouveau riche ML aka SML, while the elder daughter aka FL marries to the rural farmer aka ML.

Beside long-term verbal sparring from SFL and SML, i was annoyed with kissing scene using camera tricks making romantic scene experience being decreased.

Still recommended to watch if you just want to kill a time.

There is CP feeling in Huang Yunyun and Jin Jiayu

There is too many version but personally i enjoy this drama. This version has better makeup, styling, and overall flow. The script is also smoother although the ending feel a bit rushed.

Jin Jiayu and Huang Yunyun have great chemistry. Their banter is witty and pleasing to watch. Jian Jiayu is one of great kisser he could make those kissing scene not looked too gross. Both of leads have comfortable on their character representation and make their interaction too natural.

Still i could recommended this version since a few of another version has worse point than this drama.

Zhai Yiying first enjoyable drama..

Actually i watch this last year i never think Zhai Yiying has acting skill until i see this. Personally i liked Wang Yiran-Shi Tong drama so i give my self try to see another version.

I consider this Zhai Yiying's representative drama. Her makeup and styling in this drama suit her better than in any other drama I've seen. She perfectly embodies the charming cuteness of a young girl, and her crying scenes are decent. For me she is better Wen Li on this version than Shi Tong.

This is my first time watching Li Quan Cheng's drama, but his sexual tension is amazing. I realized this is also his peak in terms of styling. However, their two kissing scenes are like two clam spirits, terrible. The flaws don't detract from the overall quality. He needs to catch up Wang Yiran acting skill.

One thing I don't understand is that ML is also reborn, so why did he keep rejecting the FL in the beginning? He never understand love in either of his two lives.

The point was for Wang Nan

This review is dedicated for Wang Nan.

Plot is about FL meets ML gentle philanthropist, and they fall in love and marry. What she thought would be the start of a happy life turns into a nightmare. Initially traumatized by her childhood, she hides the truth from her husband. She's also threatened with intimate photos by the SML , making her afraid to confess. ML was not good person either. He's committed many illegal acts, and the philanthropist persona is just a facade.

Wang Nan's portrayal of the ML, who suffers from schizophrenia, is incredibly intense, particularly his abusive behavior and intense gaze was so scary. Wang Nan's delivery and acting skills are definitely good enough for serious dramas. I'm liking him more and more; his performance in this drama was truly outstanding.

Personally i like the message from this drama but Zuo Yi acting are not my cup of tea.

It was more depth than common revenge drama

I was quite happy to see Ma Le Jie and Chen Gang acting in this drama.

Based on the synopsis, I thought it was just a typical revenge-themed drama, but after watching half of it, I realized it wasn't that simple. FL emotional is well-developed, far superior to typical revenge dramas. The only thing that can hurt her is the behavior of the ML (after all, she loved him deeply and wasn't completely disappointed, so it's understandable).

Even when FL patience and love to ML are completely gone, and she's pregnant, she resolutely refuses to turn back, her only thought being to keep the child and leave the father.

The mistress isn't your average mistress (I won't spoil it here; you'll find it more interesting to watch), and the SML also has his own love interest. The supporting characters aren't stereotypical or merely tools, making the drama's scope far greater than typical revenge dramas. The pacing is tight and smooth, the network of relationships is vast and complex, the characters are well-developed, and the plot is full of twists and turns, making it captivating.

I really like the ending it was refreshing.

Only the kiss and FL characterization are worth to watch.

Real Couple is genuinely appealing with great figures, and the intimate scenes are well-done, especially the kissing scenes. The bedroom scenes in the first two episodes are also very atmospheric. FL characterization is well-developed—she's charmingly spoiled, adorable, and doesn't easily be bullied. She's also brave in matters of the heart and directly expresses her feelings.

The downsides are that the logic feels somewhat flawed, and too many plot holes seem designed to advance the main storyline. As a result, you can't really watch it with your brain. It's hard to understand why someone wearing a mask covering half their face wouldn't recognize someone they've been living with every day, why ML wouldn't even glance at the FL 's face before leaving after sleeping with her, and why he didn't know her disguise despite spending so much time with her, with no further explanation about it until the very end. ML in here was too stupid it make me wonder how come he become CEO and still get money despite his mindless brain.

Overall, it's a pretty good short drama suitable for mindless, sweet romance, especially for those who ship Cui Shiyi and Chen Jinghe.
