I think Journey of Flower should be the start of the rage in Xianxia? Though it becomes so popular after Ten Miles in 2017 and Ashes of Love in 2018. Ten Miles is also the drama that make Yangmi so so so popular.

Yeah, I never like Xianxia so I only watch what my mom watched.

I hope you can find the drama you like! :)

It's not like I hate Xianxia, but most of the time it's about the people with pretty faces fall in love with each other in the most nonsensical way. Like The Longest Promise, while I love Xiao Zhan, but his character kinda 2D and I can't get why the girl like him. It's also the same for the female lead, with superficial nature, and I don't even know why the boys like her.

Xianxia is mostly about fantastical story of the beast, immortals, and the human realm. It will be revolved around this area, and if you don't like it, just like me, then I doubt you will be able to love this genre. Most of the story will be the same with some tweaking here and there, but it's mostly just about this story throughout the entire plot.

I watched the most highly regarded Xianxia, like Ashes of Love and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom, but I can't say I love it like some people do. My mom do love it though, and that's also the reason why I started watching them in the first place. But Xianxia was never my favourite genre. No matter who played in them or what kind of plot they have, I always found myself getting bored of Xianxia type.

I think that Ashes of Love and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom will be a good start in Xianxia, if you really wanted to dive deep into them. The other one that's quite good is Love and Redemption, Other than those, the rest might not be as good.

Good luck in your search for good Xianxia drama!

OMG I found someone with the same impression of the FL as me! Hello there, buddy. I guess we're minority.

That's also the weird thing about this drama. Shi Ying is so sure that Zhi Yuan is bad. Like, why? Because he got info that oh yes, he's so bad? Then let's not do the fact checking and just believe it. Like, the logic is not there for these people.

Like when Shi Ying confronts Zhu Yan and told her about the reason why he needs to kill Zhi Yuan. Instead of asking him where he got this info and to try to handle it maturely, she just go and block his sword. Like, before you go at least get information why Shi Ying behaves like that?

I mean, if I'm Zhu Yan, and my teacher continuously telling me that this Zhi Yuan guy is bad because he's that whatever emperor, then I would go and ask or at least try to understand why he had this behaviour. Logical person will do that instead of charging around like a useless puppy.

But I guess, like the people in the comment above said, I'm just that stupid and miss the important story of this drama. I watched it because my mom watched it. And when I do ask her what's happening, she also don't really know anyway. I also watched it but I also got confused, so I guess it's not for me. But I still have to watch it because my mom watched it.

Yes, I don't understand. But instead of asking me to read the novel, at least provide me with the information on why she did what she did.

And as I mentioned, I am forced to watch it because my mom watch it. She watched it in the living room, where we all share the same TV. What choice do I have? Tell my mom not to watch it?

I think this drama can be described with these words:
Zhu Yan to Shi Ying: Get the information from others, without asking Shi Ying, started to doubt him for no apparent reason.

Zhu Yan to Zhi Yuan: Get the information from others, and sometimes even from Shi Ying himself, never doubt him. "I believe in him!"

Yeah, talk about double standards.

What frustrates me is that, if Zhu Yan can believe in Zhi Yuan and ASK him to clarify things, then why not with Shi Ying? What's the purpose of making Zhu Yan becomes stupid when it comes to Shi Ying? To create conflict? If yes, then such a cheap way of doing this.

Honestly, by around episode 5 I'm already fed up by this drama. But my mom continues to watch this, so I am forced to watch as well. Even up to this point (to eps 25), I don't even understand what's the point of this drama honestly.

I love Xiao Zhan as an actor, but he is just not cutting it in this drama. Or maybe that's just me.

I'm living for these episodes. It's the best Our Skyy 2 so far, above the league of everyone else.

I'm a die hard fan of The Eclipse, but the cross-over between Bad Buddy and Thousands Stars just brilliant. It was fun, full of laughter, and also seamlessly integrated with each other.

Phupha and Tian bickering like old married couple is the highlight of the show. I live for them pouting at each other in one scene, then making moony eyes on each other the next. Drunken Tian is a flirty Tian, and I want to have more drunken Tian!

The best scene in this episode?
Pat's flirty line: Do you think the house can withstand the shake?
I never screamed so loud in my life!

Can't wait for next week!

Whatever happened behind the screen, let it be the secret behind the scene. We accepted what was being shown on screen, and from what I see, I am happy.

In reality, many actors/actresses have to play with someone they might not even like, play with their enemies, etc. It's the cruel reality of the entertainment industry. You can't just say you don't like your cast mates and ask for them to be replaced by someone else. As long a you work in the entertainment industry, there will be times when they have to work with people they don't like.

I also don't understand why actors can't play with the people they don't like. They have contract and obligations, and they will need to fulfill that obligations as the actor hired to act in the drama.

IKR! They integrate the two stories so seamlessly. I really really love how they do it.

Watching the Bad Buddy parts, I can safely say that the only disappointment I have towards Our Skyy 2 is from the My School President team. Which is ironic, since they're the biggest success this year.

Bad Buddy showed the meaning of being power couple, and also the convincing act of playing their characters, even after long time had passed. The chemistry between Pat and Pran become more mature, and the story, while still very cute, retains the spirit of the original story. The story was simple, and yet they make it so fun, full of laughter, and also original, not a rehash of the old situation. They're enemies, yet they're also boyfriends, and this strange dynamics is what make us love the story even more. Fainting Phupha at the end is just an added bonus that I welcome with open arms. I laughed so hard at that part, and I definitely woke up my parents, and got scolded because of it. But it was so worth it. Phupha being fragile? Bring me on!

This also showed that storytelling don't have to be super genius or super creative. All teams in Our Skyy showed us at least some kind of progression or at least original story for their characters, while the My School President stuck in the past. I still retain to my original comment, that while the multiverse is fun and cute, but it brings nothing to the table. It's not even memorable enough.

Someone told me that I should not expect continuation from Our Skyy 2 story, and I never ask for continuation. I wanted something new, something original, that they could give to us. It showed that they care about their audience, that at least they're thinking about what they could share to the viewers. Bad Buddy parts showed that they can go back to their university days, and they're able to create a completely original story. They even incorporate the story of Thousand Stars in a way that's so seamless I never once thought they're not in the same universe. This is the multi-verse or alternate universe done right.

Score for Bad Buddy parts: 8/10.

This is more like fluffy side stories of the couples, so the fans of the drama will definitely like the couple that they adore the most. Personally, I love The Eclipse team because they have a good balance, none of the actors are glaringly bad, and the chemistry of the main couple(s) are just lit. Even Wat and Teacher Sani.

But for story, I'm going with Never Let Me Go. I like that there's an added background to their original story, though the shaman thing was kinda random. But it's the most fleshed out, in terms of the plot. Next is A Boss and A Babe, surprisingly, because it actually has a coherent plot and a direct continuation of the main plot.

Personally, I'm disappointed in My School President because how they choose to be lazy and to do the same thing, just with different actors in different role. If only they do what A Boss and A Babe did, which is role-playing, then it will be much better. Instead, they choose the laziest way possible.

Someone in the comment, I honestly don't remember who, making an excuse for them, saying that they just ended so they don't have time to shoot, etc. But A Boss and A Babe showed that it's possible, you just have to be committed to what you're doing instead of trying to justify yourself.

What scandals? O.o

If he never apologize for what he did, then I would hold him accountable, whether he's still a minor or not at that time. But if he already apologize and people still drag this issue on him, then that's a shame. They just lost a very talented young actor.

About his BL partnership, this could be just me, but I think Ohm is someone who want to dominate all the time. Dominating here doesn't mean he wants to have complete control of others. but more likely being stubborn and not able to compromise. Partnership always require compromise, and from what I see in several videos, I think he's someone who is not able to compromise easily. This could be the reason why his BL partnership didn't work for a long time. It's just me speculating though.

To be honest, I don't even know much about this "scandal" about Ohm. So, what happen really?

Well, it's sad to see that none of his BL partners actually stuck around. I mean, he had different partners so far in every BL projects he did.

I don't even know that they're in a fight. I watched the drama and like it, but never really like them as a couple so I don't really chase them. Thanks for filling me in. It's really helpful to know what might happen behind the screen.

Regarding Ohm's sexual orientation, what do you mean by this?

I'm seriously asking, what happened to them?

Overall, the Boss and a Babe stays true to its origin, which is a cute and stress-free (except for eps10-11 that I'd rather forget) drama. Even the sequel has this charm and cuteness that the original has.

Even though I agree a little with Cher about Gun being a too strict boss, but what Gun said also true. If he's not strict and not pushing his employees to do better, then how could he pay them? Though, he needs to loosen up a little.

The reason I like Boss and a Babe because it relates to me in many ways. As a manager that handles a team myself, I have my own temper. It would be nice to have someone like Cher who could guide me and remind me when I did wrong.

Score for Boss and a Babe: 6.5
