Uncomplete drama

I watched this around January 2024 and didn't know the title and actors back then.

Plot is about FL who transmigrated into lovesick FL who betrayed by SML--high rising actor. SML and SFL went to dating show to promote their CP. While FL want to join dating agency to expose SML bad behavior and clean her name. FL motto is "Since I'm here, I'll go crazy," didn't care about scrutiny from viewers. ML just want to join dating show for last minute for FL and her chaotic action. Personally, I think this is the best adaptation. The theme is novel, the characters are perfect, FL is incredibly intelligent and strong, never suffers a loss, has a beautiful spirit, and is fair to everyone. I feel FL is real Shi Xuejing.

Wen Yuan didn't have any screen time than SML and there is less romantic moment since this drama focusing on FL antics.

The ending was quite abrupt, leaving viewers wanting more. Looking forward to season two (which is never happened again).

Not very satisfying but still good for silly laugh

Watched this last year but i just make review now.

FL is an empress. In her previous life, she believed the SML was her savior and doted on him exclusively. However, she was ultimately killed by him. Before dying, she discovered that the one who loved her and saved her was the ML. FL dies and is reborn on the day of the imperial concubine selection. ML and the SML participate. SML lead initially believes he will win, but FL has regained her senses and begins a sweet and affectionate relationship with ML, ignoring the SML. 3ML who loved the ML in his previous life but was tricked by the SML and became an accomplice in harming FL. However, 3ML is decisive and ultimately helps the ML resolve the conspiracy of the SML and his father, successfully saving the FL in this life.

Actually The plot is lacking, but it still made me laugh. No chemistry between Wang Xiao Yi and Shen Haonan in the entire drama.

If you look for romance turn away, but if you look for silly laugh this place is maybe for you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Warning if you hate mild violence, please turn away.

I actually watch this when i found Yu Peishan's Shen Mubai first and realized his other cast is Chai Huixin.

The story is actually decent, and the acting of the Yu Peishan and Chai Huixin and the rest of the cast is acceptable. It avoids the typical clichéd banter and excessive physical altercations found in bad dramas. If you want to see romance please turn away and if you can stand mild violence, run!

Plot is about FL who already got her vision back from being blind and want to inform her husband aka ML but it turns ML was having affair with mistress and want to kill FL for her property and inherence.

I love how FL handled the situation, and the Ladies support in the end. Overall, this show is a good way to pass the time during leisure time.

Not particularly great

I was eager to watch since i want to watch A Shang drama with Chen Tian Xiang and left slightly sour on my mind.

Interactions between leads are minimal, and the romance isn't particularly sweet. The costumes and props are adequate but not outstanding.

The plot twists are weak;. The villains are the same few throughout, and they're always there. The plot lacks logic, focusing on a single, easily predictable villain. FL is overpowered throughout, but they never truly eliminate the villains until the very end. In the end, the villains are dealt with by themselves, resolving issues that were unresolved. ML in here is just like background character.

Only recommended to A Shang fans.
