Classic drama that deserve to watch

Ok I was watching this on my first download on DramaBox and it was one i finished and rewatch every moment i want to see kids drama.

The plot is pioneer generic about FL was got one night stand with stranger, got pregnant and being told her kids was died when she birthed them. Heartbroken She is working everyday until they met twins who runaway for their dad. Mistaken as kidnapper, FL hit ML and she knows ML was the twins dad. Since twins tends to like FL and vise versa-FL decided to married ML. ML thought FL was gold digger so he hid his real identity as rich heir and pretend to be broke man.

The kids is acting naturally as their age. The heartwarming between FL and kids and how they see FL as real mom. The chemistry between Xu Mengyuan and He Congrui was good even they didn't have intense love scene you can see the spark between them. But i don't like ML ex-wife, The character was not well-written and she didn't get enough lashing for everything she do.

I feel the last episode was being too rushed since they didn't show ML past action. The pace on the drama are quite nice.

Decent Tragic Love Story

There is popular beliefs on Chinese Short Drama especially Republican drama, 9/10 drama are Sad Ending and this drama included.

Female Lead reminds me of Kumiko from Japanese Drama trick without her fake laugh. She quite logical and her growth character between reincarnation is pleasing to watch especially she slowly accepted her sad fate.

Chen Si in republican is quite new since he always playing CEO role and he is doing fine portraying as Marshall. I have no doubt about Chen Si and Jin Zi chemistry, their scene is not too much but still deliver longing of love.

Personally i like the ending and how the supporting casts got move on by their life.

The Plot *Face Palm*

I looked this on Tiktok and Know this is from Yu Peishan. He always play as scumbag husband. I personally i like Ma Qian Qian appearance but the female lead is annoying damsel in distress pretending to be strong. Male Lead is far beyond help since writer has too drunk to write this nonsense.

Plot is about ML who got his mistress pregnant and FL who gives up her career for ML until she knows his husband affair and got miscarriage while she got difficult conceiving without ML knowing-only to know very late.

There is no chemistry between Ma Qian Qian and Male Leads.

Avoid this drama at cost.

When the Phone Rings from Shein

I've lost many count for how many Chinese vertical short drama adapted their Shein version of K-Drama. Some of them are too chopped to watch even compared to original one but i want to say it slightly better on duanju terms but below average of the original one.

Personally i like how the drama focused on relationship between FL and ML and also the kidnapper backstory compare to following all the original one who focused on FL family backstory. Both actors had very decent chemistry but duration and the plot trimmer make their dynamic duo has not been shown on the drama.

Recommended to watch for once

One of underrated plot about women issue.

I was on Lu Lulu binge watching era and found out she has collaborated with Yu Peishan. I was thought the plot is about reborn but i was wrong.

Plot is about FL who time travel in her same looking face enemy face who happened to be her manager. FL met ML with different personality from the future; timid person. Glad there is no dragged mistaken identity plot because ML know about FL soul more. They bring about unmarried woman issue with subtle and someone who trapped on emotional abusive relationship since FL cannot be free from his ex.

The chemistry between the leads was good. The kisses were realistic. The story was interesting.

Still deserve to watch even it only once.

Watch it for Ma Lejie only.

I watch it because i enjoy of Ma Lejie acting skills and actually not to fond of Xie Hongxin acting. But the plot seems promising about Older Woman-Younger Brother romance.

The plot is about FL who got his soon to be ex had affair with her best friend. Broken hearted she got one night stand with ML, FL though he was prostitute so she paid him and ask him to not meet anymore while ML wants to close to FL.

For the chemistry, i wont say they didn't have chemistry but it feels so lukewarm for younger brother romance or I should said Ma Lejie acting skill is far superior than Xie Hongxin while actual plot was written to make ML shine. There is no angst scene but few of plot was not necessary to add.

The ending is not memorable and quite lacking for everything. Only suggest to watch once.

Nice ending with crap plot.

I watched it on my first time of watching short drama. I love Bai Yan and she suited damsel of distress FL. Lu Dandong has scumbag image in my eye so his acting as ML is quite good.

The plot is about FL sister who was entrusted her husband and their children to FL since she know FL was in love with FL and they have an affair. FL sister didn't have any time since she got terminal cancer and died. And the roller coaster between FL and ML was begin.

For my view, FL, ML and FL sister was not good person. The ending is well deserve for everyone even i thought FL should redeem herself too.

Another example of wasted reverse harem

I quite like otome type of drama about reverse harem 1 FL and 4 ML. Tian Xinya (Biscuit Lala) got her main role after being vicious supporting role. I only know about Cao Tinkai and barely know Wu Tianhao at that day.
This is almost have same case with Mermaid story but they only focused on 2 ML (Cao Tiankai & Wu Tianhao) and too much cut so we got jumpy plot which make people confused (specifically Yang Cheng Han and Cao Tiankai scene like what happened). And the mysterious ML is not necessary just to add cherry on the top chaos. Tian Xinya got zero chemistry with anyone even Cao Tiankai who always shown his body didn't help too much for the chemisty The ending is crap like the just want to rushed everything.

Rare case for decent mission drama without scumbag system.

I personally like Wang Gege comedic drama so this is one for me. Wang Kaimu has an eagle eye for choosing script in 2025.
Since its their first collaboration that has aired (actually its second time when they were shoot this but i consider this as first time), i expected both of them have a chemistry and it turns out i was right about that.

The Plot is about FL dies after failed on her fifth time mission to get SML fall in love with her. So she (and the system) change her target to ML aka SML uncle.

I quite like Wang Gege character growth from helpless NPC into hopeless strategic. Luckily the system was not too scumbag and give mercy to our main leads, unlike other mission drama. Wang Kaimu always nailed as CEO role so it's a piece of cake for him. For mission role drama, they successfully put the premise and conclusion without getting too many plot holes and make the viewer confused.

Recommended to watch.

The couple has cute vibes

I watch for Lily Zai and someone from Xiaohongsu recommended Liu Ruoxun to me.

The plot is about FL who can see her time to die and want to longer her life. She found ML who was regent and suddenly her time span was add up for 3 day. She tried to close to ML since ML was being known as cold regent with any means.

I quite like Liu Ruoxun way of acting. He is quite has nice deep voice and his intonation is clear. I am happy his voice is not dubbed. Lily Zai is eye candy and FL is kind of simple minded without complex feeling so it's kind easy acting for her.

The plot is quite promising at first but they dragged the plot pace the middle like common term in short drama. The ending is underwhelming for the couple. For the chemistry, they have cute vibe and sweet couple, wish they can show more of the couple actual progress.

Still recommended to watch.

Wish they could pull this double Male lead combo again but please change the actress!

I was excited to see Yang Han/Alf Yang and Zhang Xuan as Double Male lead. And Both of them nail their character perfectly.

The Plot was quite okay for Republican and unfortunately Zhang Zilin and Yang Han don't have chemistry. Zhang Xuan got better chemistry with Zhang Zilin but somehow she couldn't catch both of actor skills. Compare to all of main leads the FL was the key of the drama letdown.

Zhang Zilin acting show lack of emotion and didn't convince me as smart FL or someone who wants to take revenge. Her expression is almost same in every scene. It feels like annoying damsel in distress that usual Chinese short drama have. The worse of all the FL characterization is very inconsistent.

I've done it just for sake of the actors. Wish Both of male actor could collab with bromance or something with different FL. I couldn't enjoy Zhang Zilin acting.

Still decent watch

Actually i had watch it first before i found the super bad adaptation (Yang Jie-Li Boyi version) and decided to rewatch to compare it again. The plot is about ML who pretends to become disable to stop his wife aka FL shopaholic.
I like Zhao Zhendong-Yang Luoqian dynamic duo but still have weak chemistry as lover. They have great acting skill and they can put the character into complex depth that latter version lacked. The Kid are not too annoying like the other version. There is not too exaggerated slapstick code and they can put the when the time we got emotional.

Still decent watch.

Did Zhang Lei just being called by production team last minute?

I watch this drama because of Han Yutong and i secretly want to see her chemistry with Zhang Lei. He is one of underrated actor in short drama.

Personally Zhang Lei screentime feels like he is second man of this drama or should i say his existence is barely there. This drama is too focused on Lu Yifang (SML the scumbag) backstory, but his acting was...errr not memorable at all.
I should give my respect to Second Female Lead for act so unlikeable from the start. Han Yutong still giving her mercy by giving minimum effort to not make her overshine the male lead. I was disappointed with lack of Zhang Lei-Han Yutong screentime and lack of chemistry. It feels Zhang Lei just being called for deadline of the project for replacement. The ML actual characterization was not fully shown since they decided to give SML too much backstory while the ML potential growth was being erased by production team for SML.

Avoid this drama unless you just want to get your blood rises by seeing SML screentime.
