Got Sour feeling but first version still win despite many version!

First, I don't like this troupe (wont call it One Night Stand but FL is giving her virginity to ML due her blackmail about her bully cousin and poof she is disappeared after that while she know she was pregnant) but i watched it and this is the first version. The first version is follow the original novel so its kinda have sour feeling and morally grey ML. Fu Yushu can portrayed introverted but strong sense of boundaries since she is married by paper only when met Male Lead (Dong Yi) who didn't realized she is the chubby girl he had secretly loved with denial. Dong Yi is success to make ML douchebag without restrained since he just knew she is married but he just want to chase Female Lead. The tug-of-war feeling is there with complex feeling without being dragged on the middle. The ending is not clear for me but i still recommended it if you want get sour feeling and watch morally grey character.

Yuyin is one of chemistry catalyst.

I am glad i can finish few Yuyin drama without getting angry >_< (her last year dramas is make me boiled for bad ending)
She can match with anyone but her with Shen Hao Nan is one of her best partner with Bai Fang Wen. Shen Hao Nan only matched with few actresses and Yuyin is one of that miracle. The Plot is quite new about how Female lead was going to jailed for 5 years to Self defense from her bad father and break up with male lead due this and forced of his family. It like reverse version of how male lead always try to getting female lead and its fun for me. Female lead got son without Male lead knowing and try to hide his son from him. The cat mouse play is fun and the ending is too abrupted since he finally know he got son and just like nothing happened at all. Hope there is other season and i would like both to cooperate again in next drama.

A Beautiful Mind version of Short Drama

Reborn plot is usually contain revenge but this drama shows the vulnerability of Male lead since his previous life trauma didn't get parental love (His Dad neglect him and his mother and become insane) and obsessed with Second Female lead love. The female lead comes to his second life without any background just like NPC and slowly involved in his life (only male lead didn't know his past life). I love how the drama emphasize about people deserve to being love even with mental illness they are still human. Second Female lead is only focused on getting Male lead in her second life until she forget her original purpose. The chemistry between Zuo Ming and Song Yujia is not sweet. I feel the calmness when watch Song Yujia on this drama (love her styling and make up here, she is look like goddess). Zuo Ming did good job insecure person who craved of love. The proposal scene is too sweet and the ending was beautiful. Recommend to watch.

Worth to watch

Its been long time since i watch gender disguise but the different on the plot is around ancient drama. King's concubine have stillbirth and try to replace her dead son with other baby who happened to be female and being force to become man. Sun Yue is never disappointed with his comedic banter and Jia Yixuan proved everyone she can follow and blend with Sun Yue's banter. Even i don't find they are suited to being lovers or CP but i still enjoy their natural banter. The story is quite funny and refreshing and how Female Lead just to want being freeloader but somehow 'He' become the number one next king and The Male leads are always mentioning he is not that old despite being her uncle. Recommend to everyone who wanted to watch funny colossal drama.

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.

Spicy Revenge drama

Another Wen Moyan revenge dark drama.
Her Chemistry with Chen Minghao was overflowing and the kisses are sensual and lustful. The plot are not something new (reborn plot) but Female Lead are calculated to make false claim as His ex fiance real sister (His ex fiance has incest relationship with her real sister and his engagement to female lead just to hinder the scandal). Her previous life was too tragic even she remembers every part of it (Her rage moment about how she getting raped was make me shiver).
The ending is quite rushed and i was thinking how come he is just standing and do nothing.

Can actresses stop using long nail manicure for ancient drama?

I watched this since this is first ever Han Yutong-Zeng Hui ancient drama.

This drama used real voice which is quite rare for Tinghuadao dramas. I am glad they are back to comedy route but the theme is almost same "husband chases wife" with difference they add up the reincarnation since ML was actually FL friends lover and emperor but he got amnesia on the first life and he left her while FL's friends was heartbroken and FL advised her to take out the money and she killed FL. On second life, FL take ML as her lover and break up with him to get his money. If you look for the kiss scene, it was like their another collaboration. It's basically their comfort zone.

Among the supporting characters, the eunuch next to the ML has very natural acting skills, which is comfortable to watch. I was also impressed by the young actress who played the FL. The young actress with relatively many scenes in the crying scenes was very moving and pleasing to the eye The emperor acts like a follower NPC, randomly appearing where the FL appears. I quite like FL friends who manages the shop, she brings the comedy. Ming Chuan in here as SML aka the top scholar was not quite memorable and just being use to stimulate the leads relationship and his trop was quite interesting when his love interest was appear (the widow of his brother).

Okay the things that i don't like in this drama were Han Yutong's long nails manicure. Girl,I love you but you are on period drama please take out your long manicure. Zeng Hui eyebrows was quite distracting too who the hell draw long ass thick eyebrow..

Anyway it was nice watch for light comedy.

This is just kissing festival drama.

You want drama without rich plot but full of kissing technique??? Just watch this drama. The plot doesn't matter anymore. Acting? Doesnt matter you dont need that, this drama is all about kissing. Jin Jiayu realy devour his kissing talent in here. ML and FL have excellent chemistry, and their kissing scenes are not only numerous but also quite daring for a short drama of this caliber.

The worst of all? The editor team seems to be lacking in this drama. Many unprocessed green screen shots. Leads operating green screen phones and computers are glaringly obvious, severely impacting the viewing experience.

The selling point in this drama is just kissing and intimate scene, i am serious. If you are more plot oriented, RUN!

Fragmented plot with no chemistry between dual leads

I watched this drama since i like both of the leads (Wang Gege and Wang Haozhen) but unfortunately both really don't have chemistry as romantic couple even with many kisses like that and to make it worse it was experimental drama that tries to do everything but ends up doing nothing to appeal. Personally i quite enjoy light and no brainer drama but this drama gives so many mixed feeling since i know both leads acting skill are good but this drama was quite fragmented. The comedy in here was quite hit and miss, sometimes i laugh, sometimes i irked.

The pacing is chaotic, the characters are unconvincing, the angst isn't truly intense, the madness isn't entirely genuine, and the sweetness isn't particularly sweet either. There aren't any major flaws, but there are also no highlights beside the FL's friendship and i feel Cui Yiliang-Wu Zhu Xi story was quite underwhelmed by main couple Wang Haozhen- Wang Gege.

The secondary couple is even worse. Their elementary-age romance is completely a regret-driven story. They hurt the FL2 deeply, then forgive her instantly with a kneeling gesture and there is no redeeming moment for ML2.

I don't understand how difficult to MLs to simply tell the FLs that the "white moonlight" is fake. The premise is a transmigration story, but it doesn't specify when the FL's transmigrates or what really happened before that. Even i quite like the ending, but it didn't help me to like this drama

This is a drama strictly for fans only. If you think it's good, ask yourself. if you changed all four actors, would you still find it enjoyable? Don't tell me about acting differences; this drama offers very little opportunity for actors to showcase their skills.

Tian Jiu Luo embrace real Yun Qi.

Finally there is MDL page about this drama since i want to make an ode to this drama even i wont give them 9.5 but i need to write this.

Yun Qi 's unparalleled beauty needs to be portrayed like this. Tian Jiu Luo perfectly captured the Princess's alluring, desireful, ruthless, scheming, cute, and aggrieved sides, showcasing her exceptional acting skills and she is sole winner based from the characterization. Too bad she stills underrated actress in duanju.

Ming Chuan as FL ex-husband was still being likeable unlike other version. This version makes the ex-husband, the general, a bit more shy.

This version has kisses with several fish, finally showing the proper way to handle a 1vN dynamic! Did the screenwriters and directors see this? This is the correct way to handle multiple male leads! I love the scene where the Eldest Princess kisses her younger brother and then slaps him.

The cons in this drama beside abrupt ending is filters and skin smoothing are way too heavy.

I hope there is season 2 of this version since i love this Yun Qi version.
