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.

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.

If i describe this film as food; bland porridge

This has been a pretty bad season. As long as Chinese vertical short drama has pretty nice show or a couple of decent ones, I'm happy. I was getting my high hope for Zhang Beixi and Bai Yan collaboration but unfortunately it looks beyond salvation and worst of all Zhang Beixi real voice was being dubbed, what a bad day.

The Plot is basically FL wants to divorce ML since his indifference attitude and his constrains of FL freedom. ML wants to keep her and tug-of-war are constantly happened in this drama. There is no character development between both of the leads and they just keeping playing cat and mouse. The kiss was hot but it lacks of chemistry and there is no hint of love between them.

I feel i am just eating bland porridge after watch this nothing impressed me from this drama.

This is how should create dynamic duo, short drama director!

I barely found decent double male lead with no romance drama (most of them are basically for the fandom). Shen Haonan and Cai Xinyang have proof they are the dynamic duo who has best bromance among the same theme drama. The star of this drama are Cai Xinyang since i captivated by his action scene and stylish attire. Shen Haonan still did his best and not making me disappointed since most of his 2025 drama lacks chemistry for his other leading role and i think he do better in any theme other than romance.

The ending is not clear if they want to create OE or want to make season 2.

Recommended to watch.

Failed do remake of Face/Off

I watch this drama since i like Dai Fengyi and want to know how her transition from antagonist to become protagonist. The Plot is lowkey inspired by Face/Off (1997) with generic formula. They are too lazy to find same height actress since if they want to do face swap people would notice the height different.

The Supporting Artist are too stiff especially the SFL and lack of emotion while Shen Haonan didn't have any chemistry with all the Female character. No fluttering feeling and the kisses are too fake. The Chemistry is no found in every part of this drama.

Kind of lackluster drama.

The couple is quite boring

Maybe my biology skill is decreased but if the ML had twin, their DNA shouldn't be the same as 99.99% since DNA have different code but they make it same when they had twins.

The story is about FL who supposed had interview for being ML twin whose actually celebrity but she met ML who already being drugged by green tea and they had sex. Since she thought the ML is celebrity she went to hide afraid to being exposed by media. Green Tea appear and claimed she had sex with ML. FL had quintuplet pregnancy. 5 years later, one of FL child come to ML celebrity party and claimed to being his son.

Maybe this is my first time to watch children has getting his actual father wrong. Zhang Xuan play dual male lead is still decent. The chemistry between Zhang Xuan and Guo Jing is not exist even their first kiss on the beginning was quite hot and their couple interaction is not satisfying to watch and lack of emotion.

Only deserve to watch once and you can forget since the drama is borderline into below average.

Patriot drama scam; it was common love story.

I watched this as someone who never watch long drama version so it based from my own experience. I watched this in the day drama was released.

I was expecting a heroic female general's inspirational story, but I was wrong. Well, this drama still rely heavily on kissing scenes and i was quite annoyed on the kissing on first scene since FL as general should instinctively get her judo skill if she encountered danger?

Although, I quite like Guo Yu Xin, I felt she wasn't suitable for the role of a female general Her characterization didn't quite match of her as a patriot general. The plot had many holes, and the cause and effect were unclear. You need to get through the confusing beginning. For the chemistry between her and Yan Zi Xian, it was still passable to watch.

FL speech was contradicting from the action for the example she said to crown prince "I will never allow my future to be about fighting for a man," is followed by her suddenly borrowing 50,000 troops from the crown prince to attack a Gu sect and rescue the ML.

The switching between the young and adult versions of the ML's scenes is very smooth and natural. Patriotic tale is scam, it is actually a story of personal romance, and the ending completely disregards logical details.

Only for hardcore fans of the actors.

Plot is poor and mess

Ma Lejie seems to like taking script about pseudo-incest lately but this is too messy.

I'll just go through it in order. Plot is about ML father brought the FL and her mother into the family when they were young. When they grew up, ML discovered that the FL had a crush on him and they accidentally slept together. Later, ML's mother committed suicide due to depression. ML believed it was caused by the FL's mother's affair with ML father.

I skipped through parts of it; I couldn't have continued watching if it weren't for Ma Lejie and Liang Siwei and i just cannot force myself to continue the drama since the plot is going nowhere. The script was poorly done, and the editing was very disjointed. It's a pity for these two actors. Dropped.
