cute light hearted drama that drags way too long
a light hearted drama should not have this long episodes. 16 or 24 maximum is enough. the long episodes only make the drama feels draggy. so many unnecessary scenes.story: it's almost no story. other than the male lead trying to find the killer lf his mother, basically nothing more. only cute romantic scenes and all.
casts: i'm new to these faces.
female lead is cute especially when she smiles. her acting is ok.
male lead is good looking. he fits his role. his acting is not bad.
second lead male is not bad.
i'm currently watching killer and healer, and i'm watching this while waiting for killer and healer to be subbed. so it's not my main drama
but it's not so bad to spend some times on it. i'm quite enjoying it, but not too much that i want to binge watch it.
would i recommend this drama? not sure. if you're new to chinese costume drama this could be a choice. if you like cute light drama with no heavy story then you might wanna try this. but will you satisfied with it? probably not.
or you can just watch it just to spend times while waiting for other dramas to come out.

BEST BROMANCE, EVEN PASSED THE KILLER AND HEALER
All of the reviews had said it. this is superb drama with amazing cinematography.Jing Boran's voice and appearance stole my attention. Song Weilong is as good as always. It's refreshing to see him in a different role.
Best chemistry.
All the casts are good looking even the villain. Saw him in Ying Yang Master, great actor.
Overall this drama is really worth watching.

REPUBLICAN ERA WITH TIME TRAVELING STORY
Good plot. Great story.This is the first time travel drama in republican era.
One thing that caught me most in this drama is Wang An Yu and Angelababy's acting. I never thought they'd be a good pair.
I watched Baby in Forever Longing and i got disapointed ny her acting. In this drama however i have to admit i love her chemistry with Wang An Yu.
Wang An Yu.. i know he's been a good actor with good acting. And once again he did great in action scenes. I thought the pairing would look awkward considering his age gap with Baby. I'm happy it didnt happen. He shows his capability as an actor.
Although in some fighting scene, the camera is shaking and it made me dizzy, but overall this drama is worth watching.

a bit draggy but toleratable
story:except the romance, the main story is rather unusal in a good way. kinda reminds me of korean drama "where stars land"
the romance flows quite good, not too fast not to slow. and not overly done. altough many scenes are a bit repetitive but still acceptable.
i'm not really into modern romance drama but this one is able to make me watching.
i have a habbit of skipping scenes because most of chinese dramas can be really draggy but up to ep 12 i havent skipped one second.
casts and charatcters:
-jiang xiaoning
like most chinese dramas female lead, she is cute and very likable. she's a bit naive but not dumb, very energetic and humble. common protagonist. what i like i most is that she's not clingy. fair xing, the actor for jiang xiaoning, acts very well.
-gu chuan
it's not something new to have a icy cold boss as the male protagonist in a drama. what make this drama's boss is different than usual is that he has a mechanical heart to support his live. that makes the story interesting.
i usually drop ren jia lun's drama because i always think his acting is boring. he always has this same stiff poker face. but this time i can even smile watching him. he's done a great job.
-everyone in this drama can act. they all are perfect for their roles. not to mention the second couple xu and yanyan, they are perfect.
i usually never interested in second couple story but this one i can enjoy watching.
when i first watched this drama i wasnt expecting this good. up to ep 12 i have nothing to complain. i never thought i would be enjoying this.
would i recommend this drama? yes

Poor Acting and Tan Jianci and JuJingYi Resemblance
This could've been a good series if it wasn't for the poor acting by most of the actors. Except for the male lead actor. Yes i understand it's a mini series, usually played by newbies, but there are also mini series with good acting skills.The story isn't that bad, typical reincarnation drama. However i noticed there are some scenes that suddenly jump forward. There are also boring scenes and dialogs that i had to skip. The plot is kinda predictable.
I have to say this btw.
The male lead actor looks like Tan JianCi (especially TJC as Xiang Liu) and the female lead looks like Ju JingYi. I'm pretty sure the producer noticed it and wanted them to be "TJC and JJY" ( judge from how they act and the FL excessive make up and hair accessories).
The male lead actor is good, although many times he's kinda copied TJC's acting gestures. The FL however, needs to improve her acting skill. I hope to see her in other drama with her real self, not as a resemblance of Ju Jingyi.
Overall the drama is good if you need to kill some times. It's short, light and has pretty faces. But if you wanna watch good quality drama, this won't be the choice

I Didnt Know There Would be Some Mystical Fantasy
I watched it for Cheng Lei but i got disappointed. at the first ep there was this mystical magical fantasy scenes and i'm not into that kind of drama.geeat acting by Cheng Lei as always.
Songyi however, i dont think she suits the general role. she doesnt have the charisma of a female general. she did her best but still she couldnt bring out the general aura. if i could choose an actress for the role, i'd choose Bailu or Zhu Xudan or Liu Shishi.
the opening theme is good but the background music can be annoying sometimes.
ao i dropped thia drama at ep 2, i couldnt get myself to enjoy it even with Cheng Lei in it.

CURRENTLY WATCHING WITH NO SUBTITLES
just started ep without subs.it does feel like a 2015 drama to me, especially the background music. typical 2013-2016 chinese dramas is their continous background musics. it's too much for me.
the costumes and hair styles dont look old which is a good thing. however i wish they used their own voices, except for park min young off course.
i love that zhang han had different role, at least in some first episodes.
park min young is stunning. she looks very natural with the costumes and hair dos. kudos to the make up artists.
