Another hero saves the damsel in distress trope
I watched this last year for Zhang Jinyi but it was underwhelmed drama for me.FL is a spoiled, pampered rich girl, while the ML is initially a loyal bodyguard, later becoming a devoted CEO. They are childhood friends, and the bodyguard's arrival is a classic "hero saves the damsel in distress" trope.
Maybe i quite didn't like FL characterization she is spoiled brat but in bad way and it was uncomfortable to watch.

Beautiful scenery hides hollow part of this plot.
The combination of real scenery (Gobi Desert) and decent styling was contradicting with actual drama story.The plot is hollow and overly unrealistic, with numerous illogical details. ML is initially extremely cautious, even investigating FL's background, showing a "better safe than sorry" attitude. Is it even plausible that he would stoop to a fake marriage with a female celebrity if you are secret agent?
The pacing was slow and the ex-girlfriend's storyline was completely unnecessary, purely an artificial obstacle for the main couple. Another problem is that Bai Fangwen and Guo Yuxin don't really have any chemistry; it's like they're each acting their own thing.
Perhaps hardcore fans of both actors could enjoy this.

Plot was average and CP interaction was less
I watched this last year since i was waited for Bai Yan and Wang Yiran new collaboration. Military officer ML VS doctor FL.As expected of a classic couple, they're so good together, whenever they're on screen, there's undeniable chemistry. The story is also very engaging, from the initial sweetness of feigned amnesia, to the bitterness of misunderstandings when the lie is exposed, to the hilarious real amnesia. Yes, you read that right, hilarious.
The downside is that it ended too quickly. In the last episode, ML learns that the FL has a crush on him, and then it skips straight to the ending. I really wanted to see some sweet interactions between the FL and ML after they know they love each other. And their
Still decent watch if you into Wang Yiran-Bai Yan CP but the plot could be elevated somehow.

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.

I am done.
I watched Ni Wu and Pei Huanyu last year and decided to stop at He Congrui and Wang Sijin because i am tired to follow this half-baked plot and nothing could satisfy me from first version with Dong Yi and Fu Yushu eventhough it was not perfect. I was completely burn out for Han Yutong-Zeng Hui version (for hardcore CP fans they still enjoy it but as solo fans it was tired to see their drama formula ML chases FL).Actual plot is incomplete, the conflict is too weak, there is open ending but felt nothing after watch this. Maybe i am tired of this bullshit.

For Revenge plot was okay but the romance was too weak.
I watched this drama in last December and the drama was taken down so fast on YT. Glad i have mood to write the review now.The reborn plot was actually engaging but the romance between Chen Minghao and Lu Lulu is rather sudden and their chemistry are too weak.
After being reborn, FL learns about her destiny and fights against a time-traveling woman (SFL), scumbag ex husband (SML), and concubine (2SFL) to break free from the control of fate. In the end, she helps the ML secure his throne.
First scene focus on domestic intrigue, the middle on court politics, and the later on palace intrigue.
However, the details are not explained very well. In the early domestic intrigue, FL uses many methods, while SFL is like a cockroach, constantly causing trouble to FL.
ML's initial possessiveness after sleeping with the FL is unclear, as he suddenly falls in love without any foreshadowing or backstory everything is just happen suddenly. ML appearance is not too many unlike the antagonists, it feels he is just guest star in this drama.
Still decent to watch if you ignore romance aspect and focused on revenge plot.

Still unnatural drama for advertisement
Aside from the obvious product placement, the entire series is just a generic short drama. FL is wrongly convicted and tortured in a mental hospital, escapes, and uses ML's influence to seek revenge. There's constant slapping, and the ML only appears after the FL has been tortured enough.Chemistry between Wang Kaimu and Zhang Chuxuan still sufficient but not too overflowing. Feels this drama didn't focus on romance but revenge. Zhang Chuxuan plays the crazy FL smooth and Wang Kaimu styling in this drama is too messy.
Some scenes are ridiculously absurd, like when the FL is pushed into the water by a antagonist to drown, but the water only reaches her knees. Plot in this drama is too lazy lacking effort.
After watch this drama did i want to use the website? absolutely nope ❤︎

Satisfying Reborn Drama
I watched Lu Lulu drama and found this second collaboration with Liu Ning. I liked their first collaboration but there is no page in MDL.In her previous life, FL's father was falsely accused of treason by her new husband (SML) and her adopted sister (SFL), and her entire family was executed. FL and the SML died together. Four years later, the ML appeared and promised to help her seek justice.
FL is reborn on the day SML proposes marriage. SML is also reborn, and the proposal turns into a broken engagement. SML asks to marry the SFL. FL's parents disagree, and FL exposes the affair between the SML and SFL letting her parents see the SML's true colors and severing ties with him.
ML is a time traveler who falls in love with the FL at first sight. Initially, he doesn't want to discuss marriage due to his own ambitions, but he gradually wavers as he spends time with her.
The plot flows smoothly and the pacing is fast. Lu Lulu is absolutely gorgeous in ancient costume. Liu Ning is really for ancient drama.

Decent watch
I remember watching this because of excessive advertisement on social media last year.Plot is about ML and FL were deeply in love. An accident (FL's younger brother and ML's sister lost their lives) caused the ML to be seriously injured while protecting FL. FL then abandoned him and disappeared for five years. Five years later, she returned to China and reunited with ML. After experiencing a series of emotional changes, the lovers finally got back together.
Although I knew it would get HE, I still loved watching the early struggles. The production quality is excellent, and the costumes are beautiful. The chemistry between Yu Long and Song Yujia are decent to see because it scream mature couple and it was more watchable than Yulong with Yang Mie Mie on their drama.
Recommended to watch.

Like the tension.
I watched this drama last year when i am on Guo Jing marathon. Never had impression of Wang Chao Yang before perhaps this is my first review about him. Make Up artist has grudge against Wang Chao Yang, what the hell with those over long eyebrow shape ?!FL is naive and believes everyone except ML. ML is love-struck and adores her, even resorting to force to get her. The romance isn't sweet; FL was too conflicted, and ML's forceful love leads to a tug-of-war that culminates in real kisses. with a stronger sense of tension.
Still enjoy this version despite conflicted with FL characterization. Worth to watch

I've seen Shitong in new light
I watch this because of Wang Yiran but i had doubt with Shi Tong and after seeing this drama, i see Shi Tong in new light.Rebirth + pseudo-incestuous relationship setting is novel, creating a strong sense of taboo. The tug-of-war between the straightforward FL and the awkward ML is incredibly engaging.
Wang Yiran's acting especially his crying scene is very natural. Shi Tong has improved a lot in this drama. after being reborn, she completely fights her step mother and stepsister, and She directly pursues the ML. The Chemistry between Wang Yiran adn Shi Tong are so natural even their kiss scene looks so good but not in sensual way.
Recommended to watch.

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.

cliché plot story
First of all i like Feng Ming Chao and Chen Luxi pairing but this drama was their weakest drama. The plot is basically generic FL love ML but ML just fooling around with SFL and FL decided to leave him. Chen Luxi didn't give vibe as someone who was hurt unfortunately while Feng Ming Chao just easily pulled out the scumbag ML. The ending was okay but it feels too bland.Was this review helpful to you?

Enjoy this separation at birth mother and child drama.
I was on Song Yujia marathon drama last year and found Cheng Cheng. He may not most handsome actor but his acting skill are quite good compared to another handsome actor.It's a very cliché story: FL slept with someone years ago and had a child, but for some reason, the child was raised by the ML, and the FL thought the child was dead.
ML was quite ex-convict who actually decent guy. FL was not saint she was tortured by her mother and cut ties with her family after she know they contributed to kidnapping her child .Love how Song Yujia got bond with the child making the drama is slightly higher than other same theme drama.
Villain is too stereotypical. SFL went on one blind date with the ML, doesn't even know what he does, yet she's smitten by ML.

Child actors need pay raise
I watch this because Peng Daidai but end up i quite like these child actor instead.The Plot was about FL agree to being surrogate mother for ML for money but when she was on birth due her mother get accident and her children was taken away with her family.
It was nice to see Peng Daidai in refreshing role but the romance chemistry with Zhang Yuntao are lacking tension. But i amused with all of children actor especially the girl one. She could play more intense role for young age,
Recommended to watch if you like kids acting better than the main leads.
