Quite fresh theme about spaceship.

I was quite interested when there is first spaceship Chinese short drama and finally i found the proper subtitle this year since last year they only got raw drama and My Mandarin skill was not really good. Plus i quite like Xu Mengyuan acting.

With its fresh subject matter, interesting setting, simple expression, and excellent ensemble cast, this story, stripped of its aerospace science fiction packaging.

To put it simple; It can only be described as a familiar short drama plot. SML is jealous of the teacher's favoritism towards the ML and plots to kill the teacher (FL is the teacher's daughter). To be honest, the reason for the teacher's death can only be said to be the ML's doing. Consuming with guilt, ML leaves the aerospace research institute to become a contractor. Years later, for some unknown reason, SML insisted on going to Ganymede. He encountered technical difficulties and sought the ML's help. In the end, I still didn't understand his actions. SML kidnapped the FL to take her to Ganymede, and when the ML came to rescue her, he was also kidnapped.

The special effects in this drama are quite good for a short series. The effects of outer space, spaceships, meteorites, and robots are all quite well done, and some of the aviation terminology isn't too far-fetched. The Robot Wu Gang was quite interesting, though he sacrificed himself twice, and the second time his emotions were damaged.

The cons are almost no romantic moment between the leads so obviously no kisses in this drama. Plot is kind of weak but i am quite lenient person since it was first proper Spaceship Sci-Fi drama in duanju. Hope there is more spaceship sci-fi drama since it was quite niche and i was the target.

Heart-Rending Revenge Drama

I watched this since i see nice premises from Tiktok and not really regret it.

The plot is about FL who going to prison for protecting her sister and has childhood sweetheart waited her to marry but he was killed by rich family whose son need heart transplantation. This plot reminds me from Shen Haonan-Jia Yixuan but it was 85% different. FL didn't fall in love with the heart-transplanting ML during her revenge; she remained stay in focus on her purpose. FL purpose was to destroy the rich family-the son included. On 10 minutes felt like watching a crime drama; the characters were very well-developed and clearly explained, though there were some slightly shorter parts later on.
The revenge methods were diverse, exploiting the greed of the SFL, the lust of the SML, the kindness of the ML, loyalty of sisters from jail gradually leading them to self-harm and kill each other.

Zuo Yi portrayal of villainous woman was quite natural and I was surprised at Zhang Tingrui acting as dual lead sickly rich son and childhood sweetheart. Not forgetting Sa Gang Yun portrayal as greedy rich father.

The cons the logic on this drama was a bit weak and didn't hold up to close scrutiny. Thankfully, the ending is relatively decent.

I have dilemma about FL mother character development

I watched this last year and i quite like this.

Aike embodies FL with a cool and sassy style, and her action scenes are very cool. Moreover, there's no ML no romance, just a pure female lead's personal showcase. FL relies on herself to make money, directly retaliating against anyone who tries to bully her.

My cons is FL's real mother character development seems forced and unnatural. I know this might be for plot advancement, but they should developed FL's real mother in the first half, showing her protecting the FL in crucial moments, making her forgiveness in the end more logical. If FL's real mother hadn't known the adopted daughter was born after her husband's infidelity, she would protect FL for first time she met her FL.

How much saintly compassion does the FL need to forgive her mother? FL real mother never protected FL during conflicts with her adopted daughter, and even chose the adopted daughter when faced with a choice between two options, yet she forgave her in the end.

Another worse character goes to FL real brothers, they are straight creepy people and should go to prison.

If you like strong female lead dramas, go watch it!

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.

They keep the quality for the sequel

I watched this drama on 10 January 2026 and tried to rewatch to get better review.

For a sequel, it's above average. Although the plot doesn't have any substantial progress, it still maintains the quality of the first season. The plot mainly revolves around the daily lives of the two main characters. The first season saw them progress from complete strangers to semi-mature adults, while this season shows their journey from semi-mature to fully mature.

I especially love watching FL tease the ML. She's a straightforward person who knows the answer but pretends to be stubborn and old-fashioned, and then seeing him look pitiful like a puppy looks so satisfying.

ML's old-fashioned character is further developed, and it's clear he's growing to love the FL and starting to change. The older brother still has limited screen time, but his appearances are always impactful.

The cons is the lack of original audio and editing is kind rushed. However, the overall viewing experience is still very good.

Decent plot but felt no charm

When I know Zhang Chuxuan, Ye Haoran and Xu Kaixin collaborate in drama i was excited but when i watched this drama last year it was underwhelming because the plot was actually good but it lacks sparks of enjoyment.

Zhang Chuxuan and Xu Kaixin had chemistry eventhough they played as estranged couple pretends to be couple goals. I liked how FL handled her husband affair in front of live streaming and sneakily collected evidence of her husband affair.

Ye Haoran....Ugh he is the weakest part on this drama. No chemistry between him and Zhang Chuxuan even as dynamic duo. The romance is kind forced and glad the ending is quite decent (Glad they dont force them to be together since it didnt match FL character).

The duration was not too long but i don't recommend this drama because it lacks of sparks.

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.

If youre looking for romance drama, this is not right choice.

I was tried to find Wang Nan and Zhang Jinyi earliest drama but couldn't find on last year and i tried to watch this.

This plot sounds like typical what men would love or perhaps male-oriented drama: ML was actually the greatest leader on the town but keep humbling himself in front of family to support his family since his family favors younger brother and people assign him as outcast family. He got one-night stand with FL and she got pregnant and when she give birth to their daughter she give the daughter to ML and run away.

Most of this drama 90% lot of verbal sparring between ML and his family. The acting between the leads was quite natural for that year. If you look for Wang Nan and Zhang Jinyi intimate scene, you'll disappointed since this drama rather focused on ML story even their daughter didn't got decent screen time.

I don't recommend this if you're prefer plot driven drama or liking romance drama.

ML was really bad to both sisters

Actually I watched this last year and tried to rewatch. I don't count how many this drama adaptation but the only actor i knew in this drama is Zhao Caizi.

The best thing and only real difference with another version of the reborn, husband switch story is that the sisters mom is quite neutral and not biased into bad sister. She keeps hoping her daughter isn't totally lost to greed, yet won't leave the FL or herself to be wronged.

I love the leads characters styling and makeup. There is not really many verbal sparring which is refreshing to watch.

The cons are the ML. He was the worst ML and actual antagonist and he mistreat both sisters with "white moonlight" but with difference SFL was too straightforward and the "white moonlight" can win against her since her emotion was not stable while FL strategy was little smart and her calmness can win against the "white moonlight".

The chemistry between Zhao Caizi and Wen Liang are feels like comrade than married couple.

Personally for the level of the actors this story is quite decent and SFL really has potential to be main leads.

You can try watch this if you didn't have any drama left.

Too much cut on this drama.

I remember i watched this drama around two years ago and for the best adaptation goes to Bai Yan and Liu Qing one.

This version has some cuts. Many supporting characters are missing. There's no faked death; FL just went abroad for two years for medical treatment. FL sends the ML to prison and gives birth to their child alone. Six years later, FL working hard to save her child, meets the successful ML again, beginning a cycle of revenge, atonement, turmoil, and compensation.

The couple shows bittersweet feeling that missed on Bai Yan and Liu Qing version and Ma Qianhuan acting in this drama is kinda forced somehow but Huang Yunyun styling and acting was still good.

Still decent watch but if you hate violence into FL you better skip this.

Quite underwhelmed Han Yutong drama.

I watched this last year and it was Han Yutong longest drama i try to digest since there is no chemistry between her and Zhao Guanyu.

The script isn't particularly innovative. FL saves her income to support her boyfriend's PhD studies, and he promises to marry her after graduation. When he graduates and their child is older, FL plans to register the child's birth, only to discover he has a pregnant girlfriend and overhears a conversation between him and his future mother-in-law. It turns out that years ago, her boyfriend got her drunk and sold her to someone else for money, but she accidentally went to the wrong room and had sex with a stranger.

She meets the child's biological father—the male lead—at the Civil Affairs Bureau and they are getting flash marriage .

ML is stubborn and narcissistic, but reliable in crucial moments, fiercely protecting FL. After getting to know the FL's daughter, he's also very good to the child. His only moment of lapse in judgment is when a female supporting character impersonates him. In the end, the ML discovers that his "white moonlight" is the FL, and the family of three has a happy ending.

Still decent to watch but the pace was really slow.

Another Decent Classic Duanju about secret relationship.

I watched this two years ago when i don't know any actor names and realized it was Lu Lulu and Xie Yuwang. For the year of the release this drama actually has decent plot despite being on-budget since FL and SFL clothes are only two types.The chemsitry between Lu Lulu and Xie Yuang was so good for that year.

I like how the romance growth between ex couple and their secret relationship on this industry. ML didn't try to hide anymore while FL want to search anyone to being her lover but ML.

The cons are Xie Yuwang are too short for Lu Lulu (they could be pair of Lovely Complex duanju version). I hate how ML make SFL didn't get her deserve retribution since she was attemped murder to FL like, please call the police!

SML was not feeling strong for fell for FL and it felt out of nowhere he likes FL.and the plot was missing on that part.

Still decent to watch.

Still best mute character in duanju all the time

I was watching this when i discovered Chai Huixin was the main lead for two years ago. Personally i like Shu Tong drama but some of his FL were not really my cup of tea until Chai Chai.

Plot is about FL was framed by her uncle and forced into marriage with the ML. Because she's mute, her family dislikes her. ML, for the same reason, also treats her poorly even he secretly loves her. ML was never want to learn to communicate with FL since she is mute and sometimes there is miscommunication since FL is mute and people never want to communicate properly with her. ML was not really red flag guy he just never adapted over someone with difficult communication and slowly he learns how to get communicate with her.

The main conflicts are from the couple's lack of communication and family opposition. Their two-year-old son is also incredibly cute and his interaction with couple felt so natural. It seems like a typical drama about a young couple managing their family life.

Shu Tong's acting is superb, and Chai Chai's performance is also excellent. Although she's mute, she's incredibly spirited, cute, and full of life.

I quite like SML even He approaches the FL with ulterior motives since he is competing with ML for inheritance, but he's not bad; he doesn't harm her but indirectly helps her gaining confidence about herself. Their platonic relationship was really rare to see.

The cons are this is obviously on-budget drama which the styling are quite hard to see (for example FL's frizzy hair and ML unkempt clothes) also the plot was rushed; many things weren't explained clearly and were left unresolved especially on the last minutes. but this drama still deserve to rewatch.
