Absolutely mind-blowing!!!

OMG, this drama is INSANE!! "RESET" is seriously on another level, the concept is so unique. It’s about Li Shi Qing & Xiao He Yun getting stuck in a time loop, trying to save the bus passengers from an explosion. Every time they die or fall asleep, they restart the same ride, HOW CRAZY IS THAT?!

The cops in this drama? SO INTENSE. Super suspicious, sharp, and no-nonsense. I legit felt like I was getting interrogated too lol. And the way they filmed the time-loop scenes?? Imagine shooting the same location over and over, but with different emotions and dialogues each time. The attention to detail is NEXT LEVEL, the writers are pure genius!

I’ve never watched anything like this before. Now I can’t stop thinking… what if Korea remade it? Would it be just as epic? Either way, this drama is a PERFECT 10/10. A must-watch, NO QUESTION!!! 🔥

Didn't expect to love but I'm obsessed

I just finished watching the Chinese drama Legend of Zang Hai and honestly, I didn’t expect to like it this much. I started it right after binge-watching The Untamed, and since Xiao Zhan is in this one too, I thought, why not give it a try? Turned out to be a great decision.

Of course, I watched it mainly for Xiao Zhan, but his acting really blew me away. I didn’t expect to love the character of Zang Hai this much. He’s smart, strategic, and has such a calm yet powerful presence. I was genuinely impressed with how well Xiao Zhan brought Zang Hai to life.

Zhang Jing Yi also stars as Antu, Zang Hai’s partner. At first, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about her in this role because I absolutely adored her in Lighter and Princess, and now I can’t help but call him “princess” every time she appears on screen. Funny enough, she still kind of plays a “princess” here too, but in a cool way, she runs an entertainment venue and is super skilled in martial arts. Unexpectedly badass.

What I love most about this drama is the storyline. It’s centered on revenge, which is a pretty common theme, but the way they executed it made it feel fresh. The early episodes where Zang Hai was buried alive were so intense and well-done, especially the part where he managed to escape. That scene had me holding my breath.

Zang Hai isn’t good at martial arts, but he wins with his brain. He always has a clever plan, always one step ahead of his enemies. It made every episode feel like a chess game, and I was always curious what move he’d make next.

One of the most emotional parts for me was Zang Hai’s relationship with Zhuang Luyin. Zhuang Luyin was supposed to be his enemy, but Zang Hai managed to gain his full trust, almost like a father and son bond. So when Zhuang Luyin died, it really hit hard. It was sad knowing we wouldn’t get more of their scenes together.

There were a few things I felt a bit iffy about though. In the beginning, I liked the subtle romance vibe between Zang Hai and Antu, but later on, it started to feel a bit... complicated. Also, Zang Hai’s mentor, Gao Ming, I loved him so much. I was really hoping he’d be there till the end. Their conversations were always deep and touching, and it broke my heart when he died. I’m still not over it.

Thanks to this drama, I’m now even more obsessed with Xiao Zhan and definitely planning to check out more of his works. Legend of Zang Hai is seriously one of the best, even though I’m still low-key grieving over Shifu Gao Ming.

My Thoughts on Glory of Special Forces

I finally finished Glory of Special Forces starring Yang Yang, and wow… what a ride! Honestly, when I first started, I wasn’t sure I could stick with it. The military theme made me hesitate a lot, but after seeing so many clips of Yang Yang from this drama, I decided to give it a try.

It actually took me almost a year to finish because the story didn’t feel super intense most of the time. The drama focuses heavily on the life of soldiers, their intense training, constant readiness, and the way they have to put aside personal pride for the sake of their team. That realism is what makes it so special, even if the pacing feels slow at times.

For me, the real excitement didn’t kick in until around episode 30. That’s when things started to feel more gripping. Still, every moment before that, the training sequences, the challenges, and the emotional struggles of each character was important and really worth watching.

What I love most is how much this drama teaches you about perseverance. It shows that you need to hold back your ego, grow up, and become better but without breaking yourself in the process. And yet, it also reminds you to keep pushing your limits when necessary

I Watched My Journey to You for Zhang Linghe, But Stayed for Cheng Lei

I just finished watching My Journey to You in 2025, and honestly, I started this drama mainly because of Zhang Linghe. Before watching, I did a little research about the story and the ending, and I saw a lot of people complaining about the open ending and how Zhang Linghe’s character was pretty annoying compared to the second lead. But the visuals looked so aesthetic that I decided to give it a try anyway.

It took me six months to finish this drama because it’s really slow-paced with lots of dialogue. In the beginning, I often watched it in fast-forward or while multitasking because, to be honest, it made me sleepy.

Everything changed around episode 18. There’s this scene where Gong Sangjue, played by Cheng Lei, is looking for Yuanzhi, who’s being hidden in a cabinet. Yuanzhi was paralyzed for a moment, so he bit his tongue to make himself bleed because Sangjue can smell blood. When Sangjue realized the smell wow, that scene was just so intense and cool.

That moment completely hooked me. I actually restarted the drama, but this time I focused only on Sangjue’s story and skipped everything else.

The drama itself is beautifully shot, full of poetic dialogue, and the story is actually good. But the pacing is slow and the heavy conversations can be a bit tiring. The main character, Ziyu, wasn’t really my favorite—he was way too obsessed with Yun Weishan and didn’t seem to care about his family at all. Meanwhile, Sangjue? He was amazing. Logical, mature, strict yet caring, and deeply protective of his younger brother. He follows the rules but knows when to fight for what’s right. And the way he was with Shangguan Qian? Total tsundere vibes, and I loved their chemistry even though I knew their story wouldn’t end happily.

By the end, the plot twists really showed how great this drama is, and honestly, it made me want to watch more of Cheng Lei’s works.

Overall, My Journey to You is worth watching if you appreciate aesthetics, complex dialogue, and layered characters. Just be ready for a slow burn. If I ever rewatch, it’ll be for Sangjue and Yuanzhi’s scenes only.

OMG, This Drama Got Me Hooked!

I did NOT expect to love Love Between Fairy and Devil this much! This was my first time watching a Chinese fantasy costume drama, and at first, it felt kinda weird so much magic, fairies, gods, and all that. But once I got into the story, WOW, I was obsessed!

The soul-swapping curse is the most unique thing ever. Every time they kiss, their souls literally switch bodies! And on top of that, they can feel each other’s emotions and pain. Like, what?! I’ve never seen anything like this, not even in K-dramas. It’s such a fresh concept that kept me hooked the whole time!

And Wang Hedi as Dongfang Qingcang? OMG, he absolutely killed this role! He starts off cold, scary, and super powerful, but once he falls in love, WOW, the way he changes! The way he goes from an emotionless demon king to a lovestruck guy who would do anything for his girl… UGH, PERFECTION. Wang Hedi’s acting is insane, switching between a terrifying warrior and a clueless, lovesick man in an instant.

Yu Shuxin as Xiao Lan Hua is pure sunshine! Her voice, her expressions, her whole vibe, she’s the ultimate mood booster! There was never a single boring moment with her on screen. Now I’m officially a fan and need to watch all her dramas because she’s just TOO CUTE.

But… the one thing that made me mad? THE ENDING. Dongfang Qingcang dies, and then suddenly, in the last 5 minutes, he just appears again like nothing happened? It felt so rushed! They should’ve given us a proper explanation instead of cramming everything into 36 episodes. Such a waste because this drama was already so perfect!

But overall, I LOVE this drama! The story is so unique, the chemistry is amazing, and now I’m officially obsessed with Chinese dramas. Also… where can I find someone who loves me like Dongfang Qingcang loves Xiao Lan Hua? Asking for a friend. Hehe.

THE BEST COSTUME DRAMA EVER! (10000/10 OMG)

THIS DRAMA IS PURE GOLD!!! From all the costume dramas I’ve watched (and trust me, it’s A LOT), "Are You The One?" is officially THE BEST. Like, no competition. I’m giving it a 10000/10 rating because it DESERVES. Lemme tell you why:

First of all, Zhang Wanyi as Cui Jiu (a.k.a. Wangye) OMG. This man is not your typical cold, stoic, "I’m-too-cool-for-you" prince. Nope. This Wangye is the KING OF TANTRUMS and honestly, the most dramatic character ever. HE. IS. HILARIOUS. The way he’s always yelling or being petty?? ICONIC. I felt so bad for his assistant Moru, though poor guy just can’t catch a break from all the nagging. 😂

And Wang Churan as Miantang?? GIRL CRUSH ALERT. She is AMAZING. Strong, smart, and so supportive wife of Wangye. Every time she saves the day, I was just like, “YES, QUEEN, SLAY!” And don’t even get me started on her chemistry with Wangye. They literally invented flirting while fighting. The ending scene where they argue? Perfection. Their love language is just chef’s kiss.

This drama is FUNNY. Like, I legit laughed in almost every episode. The first few episodes were okay, but after episode 20? BOOM. It’s just next-level AMAZING. And don’t worry about the romance. it’s there, it’s beautiful, and even though there aren’t that many kissing scenes, you still feel ALL THE FEELS.

Not gonna lie, I usually don’t review dramas, but this one? I’ve already rewatched it THREE TIMES. THREE. TIMES. That’s how much I love it. I’m actually heartbroken it’s over and PRAYING for a season 2. Please, drama gods, make it happen!!

This drama is not just good, it’s great. It’s worth watching over and over.

Okay, let me be honest. At first, I was so hesitant to watch this. But then... Yang Yang. The guy is just too good to miss, so yeah, I gave it a shot.

And wow. Just wow. From the first few episodes, I was hooked. The characters? Amazing. The storyline? Super engaging. The whole gaming world they built? Insane. The visuals were so detailed, and the way they explained eSports and all the moves? Super detailed too. Like, they didn’t just slap eSports in there as a background—they actually went deep into it. I learned so much while watching, and it never felt boring.

One thing I loved is there’s no romance here. Zero. And I’m totally fine with that because the whole focus on teamwork and everyone working toward their dreams? So refreshing. Team Xing Xin’s journey to the top is just pure inspiration.

Now, let’s talk about Ye Xiu. This guy is the heart of the show. He’s funny, laid-back, and just so good at what he does. Even though he’s a total pro, he’s humble and always willing to teach the newbies. And his in-game character, Jun Mo Xiao (aka Lord Grim)? Iconic. I mean, who else could make an umbrella look that cool?

Another character I love is Mofan. He doesn’t talk much, but he’s observant and cares in his own way. And his in-game character, Deception? A ninja. Enough said. His moves are so quick, I had to replay some scenes just to catch everything.

Last but not least, Xiao Shi Qin. The most professional and wise character out there. His in-game character, Life Extinguisher, is the definition of class. Every time he shows up, the show just feels next level.

Honestly, this drama is not just good, it’s great. It’s worth watching over and over. There are so many life lessons here. If you fail, it’s fine, start over. Keep going. Train harder than anyone else, and you’ll get there.

So yeah, it’s worth every second. 10/10 would recommend.
