Everything is flat in this drama.

I quite like A Shang and tried to watch her drama. I don't familiar with Ming Chuan so its my first ever drama i ever see from him.

The Plot is about FL trust wrong person and accidentally poisoned his husband aka ML and she is being killed by SML. and SFL. She get reborn and try take revenge to SML and SFL.

The chemistry and dynamic duo between A Shang and Ming Chuan is barely exist and there is not too much romantic moment. Even for revenge drama the FL is not to witty and messed up her own plan until ML helps him.

The ending is not powerful so everything about this drama is too flat.

Not really recommend to watch for general public.

Decent Pseudo Older Sister-Younger Brother Romance aka Duanju's Sniper Butterfly

This is basically Sniper Butterfly duanju version and if i compared it. I still choose the Long Drama because Zhou Keyu chemistry with Chen Yanxi is *chef kiss* but since this is my review without comparing to the Long drama. I will recap my thoughts.

The Plot is about ML whose his stepdad and mother were passed away due accident. He is still on minor and need guardian for get a inheritance. Since his relative is only aiming for his inheritance, he choose FL who was his stepfather daughter as his guardian. The feeling between adoration and love was grow from ML while FL was being nonchalant while actually protect ML from his relative scheme.

I like how the drama make the romance growth more naturally since ML is on teenage phase (the bittersweet feeling about know his puppy love was not being appreciated) and how FL are still on her moral compass not to indulge ML desire.

Personally, I quite Zhang Hongming still needs a little acting lesson since few his emotional scene are not too convincing (I talk about his crying scene). Ironically Zhang Hongming on his teenage stage are quite decent compare to adult stage. The Adult stage of Zhang Hongming are quite not memorable although the fun part on the story was supposed to be on adult stage. I was too bored on almost last minute of the drama.

Luckily His chemistry with Jinzi wasn't too bad so i can finish the drama with clear mind.

I like how Jinzi portrayed her older sister persona even her smoking scene is obviously not from the heavy smoker. I wont say Its the best Jinzi drama but i will say its 5 best Jinzi drama i ever watch this year.

Recommended to watch if you want to see sniper butterfly on 1.25x speed compare to long drama.

Most reliable blockbuster short drama.

I am fans of both actor Liu Xiaoxu and Guo Yuxin. Guo Yuxin has chemistry with everyone. Its rare to have spin-off short drama since this is part of Wang Gege and He Jianqi story (they make cameo appearance) and both quality are great. The pace of the plot is quite slow but it is not boring due both actor great skill.

The plot is about ML who got marriage arrangement with FL who has free spirited mind. FL was afraid to fall in love and quite confident she wont fall for ML but yeah she falls in love with ML and run away from him. ML who cannot expressed his feeling to FL quite devastated when FL leave him and tried to win her back.

I like cinematography of cameramen, it was quite melodramatic and feel so subtle.

The Up and Downs feeling are there and its quite frustrating and i always surprised how they get better chemistry on screen. I doubt if there is another remake would beat this version.

twinkling watermelon shein version

This is Twinkling Watermelon shein version (because they only spend of stellar casts instead for refining the plot).

I love the cast especially the MLs but the FLs they always got me hit and miss sometimes and i prefer Li Keyi in this role more than her grandma role so her acting is pass while Yuyin got her chemistry better with Zhang Chi. For their performance i would rate like this: Zhang Chi>>>>>>>>>>Li Keyi=Wang Yilei>>Yuyin.

This could be the best campus drama if they didn't leave many plot holes about how FL and ML life after time traveling did they together, if FL is actually went to FL mom school after time travel, and FL mother's current destiny after time travel.

Regardless of all the flaw, it still watchable.

Nice Thriller for duanju class

Its first Bad Ending for Zhai Yiying drama since almost all of her drama are Happy Ending. Shen Haonan suits for this kind of character (schizophrenic person). Zhai Yiying tries to get dark character and her effort is paid well.

The Plot is about ML who wants to get revenge for his girlfriend (FL) murderers since he want to propose her but he saw her friends kill her until he hallucinated about his late girlfriend and admitted to psychiatric hospital. Few times later, He got test for being sane (He pretends to being normal to get out while he always hear FL whisper) and start his revenge against his girlfriend murderers.

For revenge arc is quite sad and satisfying ending for the enemies with ML struggles to being sane.

Recommended to watch.

Liu Xiaoxu is great mentor.

I always complained about Yang Shuyu acting as wood she got great ML and have keen eyes about nice plot, but this is one of my exceptional option. The plot is quite my troupe (Marriage after love). The chemistry is passable and sweet. Yang Shuyu needs to have method actor ML like Liu Xiaoxu as her mentor. Even her expression hasn't progressed but her kisses is not the worse as one of Chen Si (i cannot finish that drama). Liu Xiaoxu is excellent as always and this kind of character suits him.

Plot is about FL who secretly love her teacher and years later she got arranged marriage with his teacher as her spouse. The parent plot are kind letdown and unrealistic in real life.

I always imagined if the FL was another actress it would be slightly better but for Yang Shuyu-class is watchable for me (maybe it only the decent Yang Shuyu film i could watch)

Quite promising but there is many to improve

I Love Shi Xuejing and Wang Haozhen, but this is quite letdown for me since i like the plot very much (Office romance with slow pace). The chemistry is barely exist even both of them are gorgeous and the kiss is not helping that much.

Plot is about smarty plain looking FL aka Gu Yao with fool history of love since she getting cheated by her ex and going back to him twice (this part is make me pissed like how the writer make the hole on this story, they could make this part more better) while ML aka Zhou Zhengliang the divorcee man whose his past marriage only by paper to please his family and slowly attracted by FL as her new boss (the point which make me has expectation to this drama). ML tried to pursue FL while he misunderstand her thinking as FL replacement ex boyfriend while FL thinks too highly of ML since he got higher position and known as someone with charisma.

Still watchable but not the best drama for both actors.

The Mothers are saving this drama.

It was first Lu Dang Dong drama since his hiatus and it refreshing to see him getting green flag role.
The chemistry between Huang Yunyun and Lu Dandong still lack of love for me but i still watch it forsake on their mothers ( They are the reason why this show was interesting). Both character know each other from their school era but they cannot be together since family feudal between them. When Female lead is used to get curly hair are still interesting until she get normal look the plot is kind dragged and that unnecessary sibling plot are destroying the drama. I just give the star for the mothers.

Lack of Communication

I watched another Liang Siwei drama and it was my first time watched Hwang Yunyun works. The plot is about lack of communication between the couple since both are getting fooled by Female lead step sister. Female lead is comic creator who make webtoon based of his husband and her husband reads it to know about Female lead since she wants to divorce him.
The chemistry is fine and the best part is when Female lead is being drugged and how Male lead resist the temptation his eye are acting too. Male Lead family are pain of ass except his mother. The only sane people on Female lead family is her bedridden mother who was beaten by her stepfather to prevent female lead for getting raped. Female lead was adopted by Sang Family since they are key witnesses of Female stepfather crime. Most of people will think the plot is frustrating but i feel they succeed to show how important the communication between spouse was even with sex didn't help enough if the communication is that bad. I still recommend this to Liang Siwei fans though.

Original Weird with unnecessary plot

The story is quite original even with add Female Lead need to become evil for Male Lead while actually she cares with Male Lead and if she disobey the system, system will electrocuted her. This system is strict compared to other system plot on chinese short drama. Male Lead is quite logical and smart since he is child prodigy. It was quite long and dragged on the middle with unnecessary plot (how many other character appear just confusing). The chemistry between Xie Hong Xin and Chai Hui Xin was fine since Chai Hui Xin used to become antagonist before. Nothing memorable with supporting cast it just the leads are saving this weird drama from disaster. The ending is confusing even they are not open ending. Only recommend this drama if you want to make your brain work hard.
