To be pretty blunt it was not that good of a drama.
It was based off of the c drama A Love So Beautiful so I can’t really blame the writers that much but I’ll give my input.Pros: cute, emotional, good actors, and fair enough comedy.
Con: underdeveloped plot, characters are sort of basic, lack of clarity in direction of the show, and cliche.
I would say this is for the ones who live for romantic, cute, heartwarming, tsundre, sad backstory dramas. (No judging we all need those in our life at some point). If you’re looking to be invested in this drama spending every night watching it and preparing to look up every little detail about it then....

MY BEST DRAMA EVER
I really have to write this review and help the rating go up to 9,5 if possible 🥹🥹It’s a complete and perfect package of story, acting, music and rewatch value in one drama
Honestly I cannot imagine better actor to suit the role beside Liu Yuning and Song Zuer. Never a dull moment between these two, fire chemistry.
Ahhhh I dont know anymore I feel like rewatching it for the third times already
Not to forget Ning Ge’s hardwork on the OST
It makes this drama more beautifuuulllll
I love all the character and their bromance (between Lord Wei and the generals). The director and the actors really succeeded on showing how hatred turned into love and compassion, not in a cringe way at all. So smooth so beautiful so perfect.
Everyone should go watch this drama.
You won’t regret
Note : intimate scene will exceed your expectations 😉😉

Absolute masterpiece
Tears, tears and more tears. Even though this is not the complete story of Prince Sado, who was a cruel and monstrous man, it’s the story of how he became like one. The story of a King who didn’t show love or affection towards his son, wanting to make a king from him, turned differently. Truly a heartbreaking story, with nonstop crying. How a full of life person can became a madman due to his father’s actions. This movie is a complete masterpiece, showing us how actions have deep consequences and even more.Was this review helpful to you?

The drama that sets the bar - Power. Passion. Perfection
If you are contemplating about watching this drama? JUST DO IT NOW!I read the novel before so I just randomly picked up this drama. At that time, it was still airing and I never dive into ongoing dramas since I am too impatient to wait, but the moment I watched the first episode, I knew I am in for this drama deep!
Script wise, they changed a lot in the novel which was tastefully done because the major plots of the novel was woven beautifully in the drama. I appreciated the characters more in the drama, specially Wei Shao since he was straight up red flag in the novel. Here, he was a whole green forest - especially towards the end. I appreciate how the enemies to lovers trope was created here. It took a while for them to really fall for one another - which again is believable considering that they were REALLY enemies. The tension started out so good and maintained until the drama finished. It is also commendable that misunderstandings in this drama was not stretched out because they communicated with one another. Another win for all of us who is sooo done with dramas that would take forever to resolve conflict which could have been mended with a simple conversation. No dull moments for this one, too. I was hooked in all the 36 episodes. Even the side characters were well thought of and not thrown in the drama just purely for comedic relief because even they had compelling stories, too. The drama also had an ounce of comedy.
Acting wise, as for the leads - 100/10! The moment they eyes met in that *iconic scene* of first time seeing one another, I was drawn into their characters right away. The actors, Liu Yuning and Song Zuer were AMAZING! I do not think its too much of a stretch to say that they are one of the BEST leads to have acted together. Yes! They carried the acting department EQUALLY! They personified the characters, Wei Shao and Manman, so well that I FELT EVERY EMOTION that the characters were feeling and felt like I have journeyed with them with what they were going through - whether it be happiness, anger, jealousy, tension, etc. The way they could invoke emotions and feelings from their eyes alone is a testament of their acting skills. Their chemistry together is also one for the books. I think thats the reason why their intimate scenes together is THEE BEST I have seen in ALL OF CDRAMA LAND - not joking! EXPLOSIVE!
As for the characters, as what I have mentioned, they tweaked the novel to serve the viewers the drama - and it served well! I just want to point out that Manman was exceptionally written in this drama. I also love that they preserved the contrast in the novel of an emotionally stormy husband paired with his calm, soothing, intelligent wife because it formed part of the couple's journey in growing together, in accepting each other's flaws which eventually led to love and forgiveness. Manman was smart and strong - not physically. I love that they showed the viewers that women can manifest strength not on the basis of physical combat or martial arts but in exuding feminine grace. She was of a typical ancient wife (emphasis on ancient) - she prepared meals for her husband, sewn him clothes and shoes, took care of her husband and his family, the mansion, and on top of that she loved "girlie" things and liked to look pretty - which I again appreciate because other dramas tend to look down on these aspects. But in this, I appreciate how they made me realize that these were all strengths of an ancient women. All those seemingly domestic tasks were as needed relative to Wei Shao fighting in a war or going about his tasks as the Lord of Wei. But most of all, she has always been composed and smart. Hence, she could devise a plan and strategize at par with the males (again in context of the ancient setting) which eventually helped in attaining glory for them. As for the male lead, Wei Shao, I appreciate how the drama made him feel truly human—you can genuinely understand the pain and sacrifices that shaped him. His initial anger feels completely justified. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear why he struggled with anger toward the Qiaos for a full 14 years. His doubts were also entirely understandable and never misplaced.
Its also been a long time since I religiously watched an ongoing drama and became obsessed with it. I can confidently say this will set the standard for future dramas with this trope—and it will not be easy to match. As a sucker of romantic period/costume/historical fiction dramas, this one has all the elements that make you drawn to it. I thoroughly enjoyed it that I can say that this will stay on my top lists of best CDramas of all time - at this point, I think even the BEST.
Just like the name implies, I was so hooked on this drama, I might as well be another Prisoner of Beauty. ❤️💯

This a wonderful story about forgiveness and trust between two people from enemy families yet the trust and devotion to each other is shown in the series the acting was wonderful a particularly liked the female lead more than the male lead they are some sad parts but it's mostly happy the ending felt a bit rushed is my only critiques off the drama but overall this is a great watch.Was this review helpful to you?

Love wins all
It's a great romance drama. The leads have great chemistry, and a slow burn and healthy relationship, with good communication, no unnecessary long misunderstandings, temporary breakup, or toxic love triangles. A lot of little details were handled quickly and logically. I enjoyed it so much. I laughed and giggled a lot, and sometimes got emotional throughout the progress of the drama.After a very long time, "The Prisoner of Beauty" is the second drama that I watched when it was airing, after "The Demon Hunter's Romance", also starring Song Zu Er as the female lead and it just finished airing at the end of April. Both are great dramas that I enjoyed a lot, and both have an ending that left me so empty afterwards.
Everything in this drama was great until the last few episodes. When I reached around episode 30, I got so nervous. Because there was so much sweetness until then that made me so worried about what was about to happen towards the end. There were only a few episodes left while there were still a lot of hardships they had to go through. A big war was waiting for them ahead! I got so scared of how everything was wrapped up.
The ending felt so rushed to me. Yes, it's considered a happy ending but it's also heartbreaking at the same time. It's an unsatisfying happy ending. Well, at least our leads have a happy ending ever after. None of them died or got separated. However, our other beloved characters had to die, while the endings for the villains are too light. The war happened too fast and ended so abruptly, within half of an episode. I just wish it would last a little bit longer. There should have been at least 1 or 2 more episodes! A lot of things were left unexplained and not clearly resolved.
I used to watch a lot of old Chinese dramas as a kid and teenager, but I haven’t watched so many new titles, partly because I was scared of their endings. I'm not sure why, maybe due to China's censorship or some cultural reasons or something, why do they have to build up the most lovely character ever just to kill them off at the end, leaving them a miserable half who miss them to death, every single time? I’ve watched quite a few dramas with similar endings. Oh my God! I can never get over Wei Liang's death. He is my only regret in the whole series. And they had to kill him off in the most tragic way, as an innocent lone guy being betrayed and stabbed to death while trying to bring some flowers back home to propose to his girl? That's the most cruel thing ever! His death is unnecessary too. There’s no need for him to die at all. He deserves the best, and definitely deserves a happy ending with his Xiao Tao. I laughed a lot every time he appeared. His brotherly relationship with Wei Shao and 3 other Wei generals is so beautiful, and his love story with Xiao Tao is literally the cutest thing ever. Poor my girl Xiao Tiao now is left alone in this world with a promising wedding that can never happen. Why? Just why? I really don't understand. There are a lot of ways they can keep him alive. Xiao Tao gifted him a heart-protecting mirror! Why not let that mirror save his life instead? What's the point of Xiao Tao giving that to him when it was never used?
Before I started watching this drama, the fans of the original novel had confirmed that the drama would have a 'super sweet ending for all of the characters', except for the villains obviously. And now it turned out to be a bittersweet happy ending. What's going on with Chinese screenwriters?
By the way, the music in this drama is amazing. Every song suits the scene perfectly, and stirs up my emotions a lot. I especially love the theme song performed by Liu Yuning himself. His voice is beautiful. I've downloaded the whole playlist and keep listening to the songs on repeat for now.
The acting is also great. Song Zuer and Liu Yuning nailed their roles as the leads. Others also did a good job. I didn't enjoy the second male lead's performance much at first, but he did quite well in the second half. I am also very happy to see Liu Xiao Qing here as Wei Shao's grandmother. I literally grew up with her dramas. Seeing her as a gentle grandmother feels interesting and a little bit strange to me, as she used to play main badass and wise female characters in my memory. :)
Although I don't like the ending very much, I have no regrets when watching this drama, It's totally worth watching. I would definitely re-watch it.

How did I end up here? I dunno.
I picked up this show on a whim because of Nanao. I randomly saw her in Jigoku no hanazono and was like: "she seems cool."How can I talk about this show. Honestly not much really happens. However all sorts of misunderstandings make this show fun to watch. I mean would you have expected their to be giant A.I controlled robots solving war by the end of this show?
I would have not either.
The main positives is Nanao true to her aura is fantastic as the ever so ditzy Takano. She perfectly plays the airhead with good heart. Sometimes she comes off way too dumb but it usually smooths out with the scenario playing out. I found it great that in the end Takano had such an impact on everyone. If they didn't resolve her whereabouts at the end I would of assumed she was secretly a guardian angel sent down to help everyone when they needed it. It's true you mainly get fixated on her the entire show but I came to like most of the characters.
Hatoyama was a really nice manager. I enjoyed his fatherly attributes to the other staff and how he was controlled. Ukai's compulsiveness to document and ascertain all knowledge at first seem to be confrontational. But then it kinda just turned into a neurotic quark. Kijitani had a great arc I thought. He became someone who didn't care to someone who realizes the impact everyone has on him and his responsibilities. Suzaku had a pretty good arc too despite it being so short. I really enjoyed the development team, especially Yumi. She had the overall best kill me now faces. There was an interesting dynamic as well between each group of work buddies. How each group approached the same problem was a nice look into the mindset of different age classes at a large company.
Now if you are wondering why I didn't mention Hiwada, that's because I felt he was the weakest main character. Honestly he barely had growth. Even when presented with big moments of him growing as a person, he reverts next moment into the same type of person. I also felt his character was somewhat annoying with just how wak they made him look. Him and Karasumori had really unlikable characters. I never felt like i was rooting for Hiwada but for everyone else I was. I also think they didn't even spend enough time to explain him. The other characters became more focused to wrap up story arcs which made his weaker overall. I assume this was due to the short run time of the series. If he was a little more interesting the score would be a little higher.
I suppose this mirrors the status of a new worker vs established workers. Where seniors take center stage and the newbies get drowned out.
One aspect I like about this story was how their were little moments of hope between all the companies. I enjoyed the fact that so many of the business people had epiphanies about how they viewed their employees and goals. I thought that was cute. It was cliche but cute. It kinda made each episode feel like a hallmark christmas movie. I think that's the best way to describe it.
A few small things to round this out. Opening theme is very interesting as it's in French. I liked the unique style intro. It felt kind of like a high fashion photos hoot parody. The ending theme was typical of this sort of drama. I didn't find the type of melody didn't suit the idea of the show. Ending themes really set the mood of a jdrama's impact and I found this one not be the right feeling. I wanted upbeat but more mellow of a flow. It was a song that felt like their were many hardships in the show but their really isn't lol. A good example would be Hope by Tota from the new Anne Shirley anime.
The show also randomly did interesting shots every now and then which were surprising in the moment. The under walk shot of Suzaku and tomato cam come to mind.
Overall the series ends with a sweet note. I half expected it to happen so it wasn't surprising. I bet they were snickering to themselves with the end shot being like a bird flying away from them.

101 ways to blame Princess Wei Young for 50+ episodes
Dont get fooled by 8+ ratingsit deservesmd 1.5 ratings just for the actors in my opinion
This series was so ridiculous thats i had to write a review to rant
I endured watching till 30 just for the sake of it, mostly fast forwarding beyond that it was too much
I pity the actors but atleast they got acting experience and got paid for it
There is no great story only revenge seeking princess changes her identity and gets targetted by everyone
Every other character gets a chance to blame the FL who just allows getting framed then by plot armour gets saved every single time , Even some foreign country princess gets a chance to blame her
If it was allowed, she might have been blamed for SOMEONE PASSING GAS TOO
Romance was just bs 🙄 and leads might have been together for just 30 mins ( couple of hugs and a peck, stares here and there) and in all of 54 episodes
And as usual this cant even hv a HE for all the nonsense viewers endure
Special mention: someone got inspired by the MISSION IMPOSSIBLE mask and it is used more than a couple of times to murder or attempt to murder or frame the FL
Well watch if you like MAKJANG type series and need a manual for 101 ways to frame/ blame someone

A stunning beginning, excellent acting and a meh build-up
Ultimately, I have mixed feelings about this drama. The beginning is absolutely captivating, and the enemies-to-lovers relationship is well-crafted for the first third. The production is high-quality. The supporting actors are endearing.But once the relationship leans toward their unspoken feelings, it becomes draggy. I continued watching for the charm of the couples. There were some beautiful intimate scenes.
But...
But the villains are just inept, and it became difficult to be interested in the power struggles, as they seem so random. Decisions as sensible as a teenage challenge on TikTok, stupid deaths, a big battle that you watch while doing something else.
As for the actors, there's nothing to complain about. I really like Liu Yu Ning, and Song Yu Er is a revelation for me. Liu Duan Duan, discovered in The Rebel Princess, deserves an ambiguous lead role: he does it so well!
Everyone was rooting for Wang Cheng Si and Liu Xue Qin! What a lovely couple!
Liu Xiao Qing is a wonderful grandmother, as C-dramas know how to create.
So, there are some excellent bits in this stew, but the overall result is a bit disappointing.
J'ai finalement des sentiments mitigés sur ce drama. Le début est absolument accrocheur et la relation d'ennemis à amants bien menée pendant le premier tiers. La production est de qualité. Les seconds roles sont attachants.
Mais une fois que la relation penche vers leurs sentiments inavoués, ça devient traînant. J'ai continué pour le charme des couples. Il y a eu de très belles scènes d'intimité.
Mais...
Mais les méchants sont juste ineptes et il est devenu difficile de s'intéresser aux luttes de pouvoir, tellement elles semblent venir du hasard. Des décisions aussi sensées qu'un défi adolescent sur tiktok, des morts stupides, une grande bataille qu'on regarde en faisant autre chose.
Du côté des acteurs, rien à redire. J'aime beaucoup Liu yu Ning et Song yu Er est pour moi une révélation. Liu Duan Duan, découvert dans The Rebel Princess, mériterait un premier rôle ambigu : il fait ça si bien!
Tout le monde a roulé pour Wang Cheng Si et Liu Xue Qin! Quel joli couple!
Liu Xiao Qing est une formidable grand mère, comme les C dramas savent en créer.
Donc, des morceaux excellents dans ce ragoût, mais l'ensemble est un peu décevant

I read the manga. I watched the anime, and yet everytime; I forgot what I watched/read. I don't know why. So I watched this drama as if I didn't know the story, only with familiar feeling..
It was great, definitly a good drama. I loooooved the op and the musics.
I loved how being flirt with is seems as an attack by Akin.
And I'm sorry for people who want Johnny with the other guy (sorry I forgot his name) but Johhny is like a rapist... I hate him. Some may say he didn't do it. Buuuuut he stop himself only because Akin was calling Jin. Not because "having sex" with someone who passed out is rape??! He have no morals.
Akin please baby get therapy... No episode without him having to cry. Please Mangaka let him be happy (I say that as if I wasn't the first to watch show where the MC suffer).
Jin, please keep being yourself and make Akin and you happy.
I wrote this part before and time show me how wrong I am, because even BL fans are homophobic toward real gay?? Like WTH?!
"Maybe I am wrong because I'm not Thai (Yes me from the past, you are wrong) and not in the entertainement industry BUT the fact that ot take place in Thailand and not in Japan make the homophobic less credible. I think most people would die to make a serie with 2 men who are a couple IRL."

It's so worth watching at least once but after seeing it, MORE THAN ONCE!
This is my first review. Personally, I don't watch K-dramas but I got this drama recommended from a friend. I didn't expect much, she told me the plot and that it was worth watching and so I gave it a shot. There is 16 episodes and on average is around 1 hour long each. I'm so grateful that this story talks about disabilities (being deaf and using sign-language). The struggles and the topic of family. It's a very heartwarming, gut-wrenching and trauma filling story. There's so many moments in Twinkling Watermelon that was worth watching. I seriously seriously recommend it! Here is my opinion/feedback:I CRIED. SERIOUSLY SO MANY TIMES. I freaking love this K-drama and is 100% going on my rewatch this.
Each episode leaves you hooked with either a cliff-hanger or something you did not expect. The cast delivered each of their roles so well, especially the main actors. I felt like it wasn't a movie and that we were actually there. You can feel the emotional impact that leaves you wanting more. I'm telling you I literally cried like a baby every single episode 13 above, it made me have a huge mental breakdown (episode 14 is THE BEST EPISODE in my opinion) - no spoils just you will cry. overall I recommend it. There is laughter, tears and most definitely LOVE but more on family love :). Love your parents, struggles are real and you don't know what they go through. To be loved is to be seen, change yourself for the better to set yourself free from what your running from. You can learn a lot from this drama. Twinkle to shine - be yourself for yourself not for others!!

mother love, sister inlaw love and hospitality love
To all Ma Xiao Yu's Internationals fans. The wait is over! We can now watch " The Love Of A Fool" with English subtitle! Kindly write down your review and rate for our future husband Ma Xiaoyu.There's a saying, " Team work makes the dream work." So let's continue to support him. All I can say about this drama is, it's so beautiful and the scriptwriter and director together with the actors, had executed their role portrayal well. The drama was well done! Because the actors were all great! You can really feel the emotions that the actors tried to convey to the viewers.I like the ending because it showed the love Haoxi had for Zixhia that he was willing to pretend to be someone else just to keep her beside him. However, Zixhia was not true to herself even from the beginning. She fell in love with Haoxi but she didn't want to admit it. Haoxi was her husband's youngest brother and it was not long after her husband died that she found her hidden love for Haoxi was growing stronger. I watched it more than 1 time bevause I really wanted to understand the plot . For me, Zixhia was only making a fool of herself! even until the end of the drama for pretending that she was not in love with Haoxi. But the truth is, she has already fallen in love with him!
Guys, it's a really good movie! It's excellent. It's a must-see! Please watch and I am sure you're gonna love it! Let's support Ma Xiaoyu!

Started slow but ended off really strong
Watched all 25 episodes on the website, so here's my review on it. I was about to drop this drama since the first 8 episodes were quite slow. We start off with this really interesting case about bullying and monopolization, but as soon as they introduced the Saturn1115 forums, then when it started to get boring.Bowie Lam throughout this drama has been great as the chief inspector of the OCTB, it was awesome to see him return and after finishing this, made sense why he would return for this drama, will spoil it later in the review. Owen Cheung was also really great here as the chief inspector in the police officer but the twist is that he has D.I.D. and no one knows (which I found it dumb because there's no way they wouldn't suspect something's off) but Owen manages to control it and sees his second personality, played by James Ng, as a companion. He also has a much more darker personality, played by Ronny Lay. He has a great evil smile but whenever Owen tries to mimic it, I'm sorry but it was hard to take it seriously. Kelly Fu has HEAVILY improved for this performance. Her role here is much more memorable than No Room for Crime and Forensic Heroes 6.
Like I mentioned earlier, the first case was about bullying, but this shouldn't be classified as bullying. Wanna know why? Because it's about a grandson of a rich and wealthy family, Adrien Yau, kidnapping several people holding them as his own 'pets'. Why? Because they were actually part of a human trafficking ring that was about to be shipped, but he decided to keep them. Since his grandfather, Pat Poon, has a business that isn't so legit. However, after he was caught, he became a victim of the new seven deadly sins and the vigilantes killed him eventually. Same goes for the two victims of monopoly, animal abuse, 'pollution'. It's all ridiculous and felt like an after thought. Because the main plot that happens after Episode 14 felt like that was supposed to be the main focus and the seven deadly sins were just something they thought of to hide that twist.
Man, it felt like they did a complete 360. There was a track record in No Room for Crime and Darkside of the Moon where it starts off strong - incredibly mid in the middle - and then ends off extremely strong as well. But this time it starts off mid and doesn't hold back after it gets to that certain point. You're wondering, how did big stars like Bowie Lam, Monica Chan and Deon Cheung agreed to star in what it seemed to be a simple crime drama about a cult killing people for justice. Well, the twist is that there wasn't a cult, all of the people involved with the killings which was Monica Chan (Bowie's older sister that supposedly returned from the US in episode 4 who was revealed to be a hallucination in ep16), Deon Cheung, Bond Chan, Lucas Yiu, Amber Chan, Vincent Lam and John Chan, who were all revealed to be Bowie's personalities as he was suffering from D.I.D. as well. That is one hell of a twist that I'm surprised TVB managed to do well, especially after the abysmal twists they showed in Call of Destiny and Anonymous Signal. Ever since the twist was revealed after Episode 17, the show immediately hooks you up, every scene filled with tension. I was wondering in Episode 10 and 13, why they killed off Bowie and Owen's most trusted colleagues so early? Well, now it made sense that they wanted to make room for the development between Bowie's personalities. It was revealed later on that they were actually being manipulated by Deon Cheong, the most brutal personality of Bowie's who believed in justice over twisted values to kill the supposed sinners. So near the end, they helped Bowie stop Deon from killing more.
There is another twist though, originally, Deon was a personality created to resemble the person who killed his sister during the fire. The person who actually killed his sister was Raymond Cho's character. The fire was also instructed by Pat Poon. Originally I was wondering why were they even part of the show as they could've easily been removed after Adrien died. I feel like the most underutilized character was Jack Wu, the father of Adrien, who died from suicide. He didn't really do anything to progress the plot other than to be drunk every single time he appeared on screen after his son died.
So the final big battle was a wild one where Raymond and Bowie (controlled by Monica) was trying to set four people on fire in an abandoned building (forgot who they actually are sorry about that), among those four people includes Pat. After the fire started, the whole building collapsed. I'm ngl, the fire CGI wasn't the greatest but can we even expect great CGI from TVB nowadays? Among the people who were in the building includes Kelly, Owen, Bowie, Raymond and Yoyo Chen, Bowie's neighbor who he had a crush on. The final few scenes were actually really creepy and really diminishes Raymond as a twisted villain. They all managed to survive the building collapse except for Yoyo, where she gets stabbed by a piece of sharp concrete when trying to save Bowie. However, Raymond got up and took Bowie and Kelly to Germany, where Raymond hypnotized him into thinking he's his brother and that he was gonna get married to Yoyo, when in reality it was Kelly who appeared to be malnourished and unable to speak properly. That was such a fucked up twist and really establishes Raymond as an actual psycho. Owen managed to find their location, stop the wedding and finally convinced Bowie that Kelly was not Yoyo. I really love Bowie's acting in this drama, his emotional scenes actually felt genuine. Same goes for Owen when James was finally going to leave him in episode 22. Special mention to Gabriel Harrison who played a prisoner in this drama. Damn he lost a lot of weight for this role. Along with Benjamin Yuen who returned as his character from No Room For Crime who was actually the first victim of this seven deadly sins massacre. I felt that this connection was unnecessary but hey, at least we don't have to see a season 2 for that post credit scene to get clarified.
Overall, an actual enjoyable drama. Surprisingly more better than Anonymous Signal and No Room for Crime. If it weren't for the Saturn1115 storyline with Joey Thye as a victim of PTSD from being sexually molested who created the forums in the first place, I probably would've liked this drama more. That's probably the bad part that made this not that good. But I still like it for trying something new with D.I.D., still strange that both Bowie and Owen, victims of D.I.D. can somehow be one of the highest ranks in their respective divisions in the police force. Also for the title, I've always been wondering about the 12 in it, although Owen had 3 personalities, and Bowie had 8, that would've made it 11 personalities in total. But the final scene in the finale revealed Bowie has another personality. A wonderful cameo made by Flora Chan who is supposedly Bowie's guardian. Even if it wasn't explained much, she said she had been with him the longest, so she was probably the one who kept Bowie from knowing that he had multiple other personalities. It was nice to see her again since her last drama was in 2018's Watch Out Boss. With the track record lately, I thought that Kenneth Ma would make another cameo appearance. That would've been wild but thankfully that wasn't the case.
