A little flawed but quite entertaining

Storyline - Moderate - The concept (man enters the world of his martial-arts fantasies) is clever, but the writing sometimes plays it too safe. There are moving scenes of loyalty, sacrifice, and friendship, yet others feel padded.

Genre - wuxia + fantasy leanings, personal growth, conflicts, some worldbuilding.

The main protagonist is Xiao Mingming (portrayed by Cheng Yi), a person who once loved martial-arts novels but finds himself disillusioned by real life. He is pulled into the world of jianghu (the martial arts / swordsmen world), essentially a crossover between his fantasy fandom and reality. Over time, he grows, faces trials, and transforms from someone with little power into a hero with responsibilities.

Cast/Acting - Mixed-Good -Lots of famous faces, Cheng Yi (double role) gives emotional depth and at times carries this drama especially in the later episodes. Good to see Liu Meng Rui in a mature role. Lots of characters from ‘Mysterious Lotus Casebook’ - performances not on par with that epic. Supporting cast range from excellent to wooden. Casting is “male-centric,” female characters or side characters not as deeply developed.

Music/OST- The soundtrack is elegant and often haunting, good for absorbing rhythm and tone.

Emotional pull - This drama has moments that stir reflection about courage, destiny, and loyalty but not every episode lands. Elements of romance in places.

Visuals - Uneven - The landscapes are often gorgeous, but some CGI and fight effects break immersion. The choreography of the martial arts scenes were epic in places and the drama is worth the watch just for those scenes. Beautiful costumes, lovely colours.

The editing and continuity lets this drama down otherwise it could have been rated much higher. The drama was also rushed I believe another 2 episodes could have done justice to the story.

Great series and all but.......

Okay. I will really commend this drama as a very beautiful one, great story and all but I can't believe I have a BUT about it. Okay, first being passionately in love shouldn't be about physical touch or kisses so I really won't blame the actress though that somehow dragged down the tension of the drama for me but then before I judge I should also know there is a reason to all things. Second thing I noticed and don't like after rewatching thrice is that love is supposed to be a mutal thing right, I can do anything for you, you should also be able to do same but why do I feel like the main actor Wang An Yu was made a lovesick, passionate, committed, always ready man to a girl who is very nonchalant and sometimes distant. I feel the female lead (no offense) didn't put much efforts into the relationship as the male lead did. Like it was some kind of disguised one sided thing that I still can't process but that aside this drama is literally a very good drama that I recommend everyone to watch and enjoy cause it's shows us how passionate a love can be between the right people. There are good man out there at least this taught me that lol 😂. Anyways, enjoy the journey of our Shy Boy Chen and Xu Zhi ❤️

A second chance romance that promises us a scheming male lead with a clever liar of a female lead. A stunning pair that lie and scheme their way into a marriage for love or benefits but come to learn that lies will always find their way to the surface. This story promises swoon worthy leads, witty schemes, and romance that will always push them back together. Except it never delivered. The calculating and meticulous leads spend the majority of the story being led by their noses by forces that create doubt and misunderstandings with ease delving their already shallow relationship into a territory where I began to root against them.

The start of this drama really pulls you in with its ruthless precision to the narratives each character has crafted and then the ultimate fall out when the lies come to light. But then the story takes a nose dive and instead of the banter and chase we expected as the leads find their way back to each other we are instead forced to watch the endless business meetings and constant doubt that is easily pushed onto the characters from outside forces that show just how shallow their understanding of each other really is. Personally I don't watch a lot of work or business related dramas as I find them boring so after the half way point of this drama I began skimming episodes.

An overall beautiful drama that is acted well but lost its grit from the beginning.

I would say this series is a must watch for all c drama lovers. I cried so much I got dry snots all over my face. The undying passion and sacrifices a person will make to keep his loved one at peace is something really touching. You love c drama, you will love this, just have tissues around you so you don't end up like me. Lmao.

great to binge watch ?‍↕️

literally watched it in one day, it’s really good!! although at some parts it kind of gets a bit tedious, it might have also been since i watched one episode after the other. overall i really enjoyed it and i hope to see nam joohyuk doing more of this kind of roles!! and although i think the ending was nice, i also wouldn’t mind if there was a second season, i think it has a lot of potential if they don’t drag around some storylines for tooooo long. it’d be interesting to see the aftermath of everything and how jiyong’s life as a police officer is…

Worst ending. If I was a writer I would end this drama as follows -

Little spoiler alert :
First of all the casting is good and the actors acted very well. But I hated the ending. After watching the ending, I wanted to slap to that writter who wrote the ending portion. There are three writters, out of them one is female, I am sure the ending were written by her or if it is written by a male he must be g@y. How can you give a cheater Soo Yeon(FL) a happy ending and make Hyun Woo(ML) look like a loser simp.

If u have watched the drama u will know, The wife(Soo Yeon) always tells lie to her husband(Hyun Woo) that she will be late from work and later goes to sleep wt her lover despite having a loving husband(HW) and a child who is just in Kindergarten. But one day the Hyun Woo caught her cheating wife Soo Yeon red handed in hotel and yet Soo Yeon shows no regret or remorse. She stays totally silent just saying sorry. No tears of sadness nothing. After Hyun Woo got angry and went out of the hotel room Soo Yeon didn't even chased Hyun Woo(like most of the cheater does when they get caught), but she just stayed quiet sitting along wt her cheating lover wt no regret and no tears of remorse. After this mess Soo Yeon and Hyundai Woo again met at their home where they had a talk and she says "I stop meeting him for now" then Hyun Woo replied "So later u will meet him again?", where it also shows Soo Yeon who got caught has no guilt feeling. If her lover didn't dumped her, she might even run away wt her lover leaving her husband and son behind. Later at home Hyun Woo in anger asked Soo Yeon saying "When did it started?" , she then again stays quite and try to sneak away telling her husband "let's talk later when u calm down" and Hyun Woo asked her again "When did it started?", finally she said "6 months ago". Hyun Woo then again asked Soo Yeon "Did u sleep wt him?" with no regret, guilt or sadness, she lashed out at her husband Hyun Woo face saying "Yes we slept, because I missed him, I kept missing him so I asked to meet him first" and she went out. When she said that, the body language of FL was as if she is the one victim here. If the husband didn't catch his wife red handed that day she might have keep continuing and deceiving her husband as she herself claim about this between the end of the show after showing regret. In the whole episodes, the directors/writter trying to show us the innocent husband(Hyun Woo) is the one who cheated and his wife(Soo Yeon) as victim. The way they acted it shows as it is. And yet she got a happy ending what bullshi!ttt.

So, If I was a writer I would like to make some changes in this drama to make the drama more exciting. Written as follows 👇👇
In one scene I would add the Hyun Woo taking his child to his workplace where his son(Joon Soo) mistakenly sees him getting work pressure and also get belittle by his boss, but still he remains strong. As the drama already shows the wife(Soo Yeon) is cheating, so whenever Soo Yeon tells lie about working late night to have an affair, I would add my own scene where the husband(Hyun Woo) tries to talk to Soo Yeon when he feels down and also talk about her workholic day then again when Soo Yeon says about working late, Hyun Woo wouldn't continue the talk realising Soo Yeon might also have so much work pressure(but little did he know that Soo Yeon is lying to meet her lover).
I would also like to make changes in some scene..... where Soo Yeon says Hyun Woo in his face about sleeping and missing her lover when asked by Hyun Woo. The next day, I will add a scene making them divorced with some talks and Hyun Woo getting child custody since Soo Yeon is the one who cheated. While discussing child custody I would make Hyun Woo say to Soo Yeon that "I can't handover Joon Soo(their son) to you or else you might again forget the existence of our son like u did it earlier). Then after the divorce Soo Yeon leaves home but even after divorce Soo Yeon would also take care of her son like picking from kindergarten and leaving her son to Hyun Woo house and also take around to her son like park, zoo etc etc.
I would also add some scene where Soo Yeon resign or get fired from her company after rumours get spread within her company about cheating her husband(Hyun Woo) despite having a child. Then everyone belittle her and she faces some karma for her wrong doings. And ofcourse she get dumped by her lover too.
After 7 years of divorce I would paired Hyun Woo with the lovely divorced women(SO EUN) he met at last who is also his new neighbour and likes to play the claw machine like him. By the time his son(JOON SOO) would also grow and understand Hyun Woo's decision. But I would remove the the part where the divorced woman(So Eun) has a child. Later I would add scene where Hyun Woo getting remarried with So Eun and Joon Soo who also loves his step-mom spending time with her in those 7 years but wouldn't call her MOM yet coz it ofc takes time. Then the step-mom also cares Joon Soo as her own child, just a lovely family. But Joon Soo would still meet his real mom(Soo Yeon) since growing up. And adding more after 3 years i.e. after 10 years since divorced with Soo Yeon. Then I would add my own scene where Joon Soo is actively into some social media staff like online group chatting. So when his dad(Hyun Woo) goes to work and his step-mom(So Eun) goes out for groceries then he would be alone at home. So when he was having fun in online group chatting on his phone his battery died and he can't find his charger so he saw his dad's laptop and try to login but he couldn't, coz it has a Password. He kept trying and it shows wrong PW, finally at last attempt Joon Soo would write his own combination name and then get login( some parents keep their son name as PW). Then Joon Soo would browse the internet and go straight to online group chatting site, it's the same chatting site where his dad Hyun Woo chats in his past when he was cheated by Soo Yeon. While writing e-mail as login username he find the recommendation of his dad email and as curiosity he login and apply the same PW as he did while logging into the laptop and appears the TOYCRANE username. As curiosity he read the whole chat of his dad username and find out about his mom(Soo Yeon) affair and also recognise his mom username where she claim about "forgetting her son and husband after meeting her lover" and also asking her husband(TOYCRANE) in the chat saying "Would you accept your wife who already slept wt someone?". Joon Soo then read all the chat and feel sad for his dad(Hyun Woo). After reading all the chat Joon Soo then goes straight to his mom(Soo Yeon). Crying angrily, he asked his mom "Did u really cheat dad?" then Soo Yeon would be in shock after hearing and asked him "Where did u hear this, did your dad said that to you?" then Joon Soo replies "No I login my dad's laptop and out of fun I read dad's old chats and saw about dad and you in online group chat". Then Soo Yeon in tears just stays quiet with no answers. When Soo Yeon tries to touch Joon Soo in guilt and tears, he resist his mom( the body language that shows he is not letting touch his mom as if she is dirty women[characterless]). Joon Soo then says his mom(Soo Yeon), I thought the divorced happen bcoz of mutual understanding but I didn't know it was bcoz of you and I feel sorry for my dad(Hyun Woo) now. Later Joon Soo rush back to home from his mom house and hug his dad in tears saying "DAD you must be in pain through all this years" and Hyun Woo with no clue ask Joon Soo "What happen son did anything happen today?" then Joon Soo replies "I read ur old past online group chats when I login ur laptop" . Hyun Woo would then realise the reason why he is sad. Later Hyun Woo take his son Joon Soo outside and they both seat together.
And Soo Yeon in tears who chased his son Joon Soo after he ran crying, sees her now ex-husband Hyun Woo but then decide not to border and hide nearby them.
Then Hyun Woo continue saying to his son..
HYUN WOO(in calm) - How did u know my PW?
JOON SOO - I just predicted my own name.
There would be a min of silent between them then his son Joon Soo continue saying
JOON SOO - Didn't u hate mom for betraying u that time?
HYUN WOO - Since u are already grown up, I will tell u and hope u can understand it ...... Yes, for a while I hated ur mom for betraying me but later I had to let go those bad memories to keep living.
JOON SOO - Didn't u ask mom why she did that?
HYUN WOO - Yes I asked her..... and your mom said she had work pressure, less time for herself that she forgot what happiness is. Also she would always be busy taking care of you when u were a kid. She also had hard time. So don't hate ur mom.
JOON SOO then asked his dad - Dad once I mistakenly saw you getting belittle by ur boss in ur workplace. I also saw you feeling down with lauds of work pressure. Didn't u had thoughts like mom?
HYUN WOO then would reply - At that time I loved ur mom(Soo Yeon) so much. Whenever I see other women's, I would remember ur mom face and asked myself how would she be doing right now, I hope she is not facing so much work pressure. I hope she is doing well etc. So I never thought of betraying your mom bcoz I loved her so much that I wouldn't dare to think about that.
SOO YEON who chased her son and hiding nearby them heard all their conversations and cries silently in regret for betraying her husband Hyun Woo.
HYUN WOO continues saying - Your mom and I had love marriage and then later you are born. Your mom has struggle so much while raising you. Your mom wouldn't leave u alone everytime. At the same time she also works while raising u. I couldn't ask ur mom how she was doing, how work is going on. I can't fully blame ur mom either bcoz I was also at fault not to care of ur mom. May be we fell apart that time. Sometime I wanted to discuss about her day in office with your mom but when she says she has to work late then realise I would make ur mom more worry.

NOTE : Here Working late indicates the excuse Soo Yeon make to spend time and sleep wt her love.

JOON SOO - Then didn't u feel sad while getting divorced dad?
HYUN WOO - Yes I was sad, I lock myself and cried bcoz even at that time I loved ur mom so much. People usually says Men's don't cry but we also have feelings. So whenever u are sad don't hold ur tears just let it out and it gets less burden.
Then JOON SOO would hug his dad in tears and says - I didn't know u were in so much pain appa(dad). I kept blaming both of u for divorcing without knowing the reason.
HYUN WOO(in smile) - It's okay son. You are already grownup now and knows how to choose ur own path. So if you ever loved someone in future do not betray her. Your appa might not be an inspiration to u but when it comes to love your appa has something you should follow.
Then JOON SOO smiles.
HYUN WOO continues - You shouldn't hate your mom too, she has so much struggle while raising you. If you have said something mean to your mom, go and apologize her. She also has seperate life now. Even though I can't forgive her for betraying. She also deserve happiness now. It's between me and ur mom. And moreover she is ur mom.

SOO YEON nearby hearing their whole conversation cries in regret for betraying her husband Hyun Woo when he use to love her so much. She also felt guilty and sad about Joon Soo knowing all this . Then she would go back to her house and realised all those mistake she had done to her family and her lovely husband Hyun Woo.

JOON SOO and HYUN WOO also returns to their home then later Joon Soo in tears would hug his step-mom SO EUN calling her "MOM" for the first time who always care him like her own son. Without knowing the situation, his step-mom SO EUN would hug him back in joy.
The next day Job Soo would go to see his mom Soo Yeon and had a short talk where Joon Soo says...
JOON SOO(in low and hesitation voice) - I heard from dad why u both divorced.
SOO YEON sat quiet with no answers and eyes filled with tears
JOON SOO then continues - Omma(Mom), do u know when I was a kid I hate when u both are not around at home to spend time wt me. We barely get together.
SOO YEON - Sorry son for not giving u best in ur childhood. You can hate me for betraying ur dad and you.
JOON SOO - Omma do you know what hurt me the most? when I read the chat where you said whenever you meet the guy you would forget the existence of DAD and ME. Is it Mom?
SOO YEON(in tears and regret) who have nothing to say but only Sorry, kept repeating the word "SORRY SON".
JOON SOO - Omma when I was a child I went to dad office and I mistakenly saw dad was getting belittle by his boss getting pressure and taunt from him. But dad says he never thought giving up his family. He also has his own happiness but rather he work hard to give our family best. Back then I was a kid to understand those things. SON then says, I might take time to forgive you but dad says you have your own happiness now. So mom live your life and stay healthy.
After a short conversation Joon Soo left.
SOO YEON who never showed any regret or remorse for cheating, cries so much in sadness. Then Soo Yeon later promise herself to serve God as a NUN for her wrong doings.
After more 1 year Hyun Woo and his 2nd wife So Eun gave birth to a beautiful child. Then comes Joon Soo birthday where the whole family planned to visit park.
At the same day Soo Yeon who is a NUN now came to give his son Joon Soo, a birthday gift. But when she saw her husband, son, his 2nd wife So Eun and a new born baby returning from Park, she then shows a bit of regret and jealousy of realisation looking at their happiness on how she would have been in place of So Eun if she didn't had affair. She then just leave the gift she brought nearby the door and left not bordering them. And the drama would end. Giving loyal husband Hyun Woo a Happy ending and cheater wife Soo Yeon, a lesson for betraying.

The turning point where Joon Soo hates his mom Soo Yeon was when he read the line where his mom claim in group chat that "she forgot the existence of her husband and child when she met her lover".

So this is how I would write the drama if I was a writer.
But in actual the writers gave cheater female lead a happy ending. What a crap.

It's been 4 days and whenever I remember about this drama my heart still ache for Hyun Woo. Because in the whole drama, the words utter from Soo Yeon is all about herself and defending her lover. She never sincerely apologise or felt guilty for cheating her husband Hyun Woo. All she said was Sorry with no tears of sadness. No explaination nothing. She never gave efforts or pushed to heal their relationship. Her expression shows she never love or thought about her child Joon Soo too. It shows like all she did for her child was out of responsibility.
So whenever I remember about this drama my heart ache coz the cheater wife got happy ending with no efforts. I wanted the ending like Soo Yeon getting exposed in her office workplace and getting taunt for cheating her husband by all employees then she get fire or resign. Then she face more Karma. Hyun Woo getting remarried the last divorced women(So Eun) who is also an exact copy of himself. And live happily wt his son Joon Soo.

Thanks.

I prefer this version over the original

Disclaimer

What I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this series. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.

I would first like to say that I had no desire to watch this series because if you would read my previous comments on any MAME series, you would know that I have a love/hate relationship with her series (but, yes, I do still watch them). Also, the last Japanese remake that I watched where the original actors (Fort and Peat) were involved – I just did not feel that the Japanese counterpart to Fort's Prapai was good. So, I was apprehensive about watching this series. But one day, I just decided to give it a go, and I am actually glad that I did.

The Japanese counterpart to the characters (Kashin and Ai) of the original Thai series (Mahasmut and Tongrak) was actually well done. I felt that the Japanese handled some of the sexual scenes better compared to the Thai version. They were able to carry me through the emotions that the original actors did, and yet I was still able to enjoy this series as if it was the first time that I was seeing this story unfold (I mean, this series had me crying in a part that I knew was coming up in the last episode – that's just to show you how well these actors played these roles of these two characters). Yes, they also did have some weak parts compared to the Thai version, I will admit, but still, I felt like I enjoyed this version more.

Took almost a year, but I've finally finished it!-with lots of skipping through the filler stuff- rather biased IMO, but what does one expect from these things? Talented individuals for the most part. -way too much crying-smh

Why must reviews contain at least 300 characters??? I don't keep a detailed incident report on these things.. What do you want from me? 😩

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

A very light-hearted series blending mostly comedy with romance, along with a few action elements that were more than decent considering its genre. The premise was interesting, but it could have benefited from fewer episodes. The build up in the first nine episodes, in particular, felt unnecessarily slow, while the humour and the situations depicted seemed better suited for the early teen audiences. After that point, however, it really picked up, and it became much more enjoyable to watch. The characters and the story itself, gained a more consistent identity and I enjoyed the humour much more than I expected—especially the goofy kind of humour that was portrayed mostly by the antagonists in the story.

As for the romance, it was cute. The main leads had a fun dynamic and good chemistry overall and I really enjoyed their acting. I've watched Shahkrit act before, so I knew he'd nail his part, but it was my first time seeing Vill and she was pretty good as well. The same goes for the rest of the cast, too. Everyone gave solid performances.

The weakest parts of this series, for me, were the side couple, mainly due to age reasons, and the writing near the end, which tested my patience in all the wrong ways. Absurdity is fine, but even that has its limits.

Having said that, my experience was positive overall. It was a very fun series to watch and I do recommend it to anyone who looks for a show to spend their time pleasantly, without much drama or overcomplicated situations.

cute VAMPIRE story

The plot is quite plain, but the acting is fabulous. The lead Dongha is absolutely adorable, and the cast also gives out handsome or stunning vampire looks to add spice to the storytelling. The story is well paced and never feels too rushed. The humor and smiling faces are a delight to watch and fills one's heart with content and warmth. The LOVE is felt all throughout the show with amamazing chemistry between characters.

p.s Kang Seon was my fav. He is smart, cunning and lovable at the same time, who played his role really well. Fell for him more and more as the show progressed

Series that wouldn't exist if every character got therapy

Or alternatively: Man Has A Crush For 15 Years & Makes It Everyone's Problem

Holy shit this was a freaking rollercoaster. I don't even know how to properly start this review???
Okay let me begin by saying that this is my first ever ABO/mpreg media I've watched. And it is a wild experience and what really helped me was doing some research (lol) into what ABO actually means and entails.
Knowing that history really helps see what the tropes are, how characters act and how sometimes it gets subverted.

The story was pretty good in the beginning but the ending really flopped. The story also got complicated by bad editing: the flashback scenes were sometimes hard to distuingish and in episode 14/15 they suddenly use a voiceover/narrator which felt really lazy. It was a prime example of telling vs. showing and it really ruined the vibe and the feel, which is a real shame since the overall production value up till then was quite high.

The casting was done great and I really liked the actors. I wish we'd gotten more scenes about Shen Wenlang's family since there's a whole weird complicated backstory with his two dads. I also thought the introduction of the random cousin of HY was so unnecessary and didn't make sense to me at all except for serving to show that HY wants to start a family.
A family which he would very eagerly abandon fyi !
Luckily SSY doesn't die so the family stays together but wtaf man, it is exactly something Edward from Twilight would do - kill the child/himself to be with Bella...sigh

As for my review title: if you watch it you'll agree. Holy crap those characters are messed up but each in their own unique way that hinders them to form healthy relationships. HY and SSY definitely don't have a healthy relationship in the beginning and even at the end I'm kind of like 'wow i cant believe these two are together'...of course on the other hand if they weren't together they would be wreaking all kinds of havoc on the world so maybe it's for the best that these 2 fcking freaks are married. And Gao Tu and Shen Wenlang...don't get me started. The ending was absolutely ridiculous. The fact that SWL doesn't even know GT's relationship with his dad is just so telling. Most people would start to pick up on that if they had been friends for 10 years. Of course GT is excellent at keeping everything secret so maybe it's a bit unfair to blame SWL.
But when I tell you I screamed when GT and his son reappeared on the screen??? I FK SCREAMED!!!!

I don't think I would watch this again since the pace is kind of all over the place and the chemistry is just not enough to keep me coming back. All in all, if you want to watch a new kind of drama and are into the omegaverse you should watch this!

Paper-Thin Fantasy, Endless Abs, Zero Substance

ML is a hero blood-bound puppet who survives thanks to the female lead’s conveniently available veins. Meanwhile, she’s supposedly a general… though you’d never guess it from her flat delivery and total lack of commanding presence.

The plot manages to be both paper-thin stuffed with banal conversations and scenes so empty I fast-forwarded through seven episodes without missing a thing. His bare chest gets more screen time than actual character development.

The romance has no depth. The soundtrack? Dreadful. A lightly dark fantasy is a teen-targeted fanservice parade. I barely survived seven episodes before mercy-dropping it.

Fierce heroine and female empowerment

Jiang Shuo Yao has come home from the wars and she is ready to kick some azz.

The main reason to watch this is to see Jiang Shuo Yao triumph again and again against a weak husband and his new wife, as well as a mean MIL. If you go into this without serious expectations and want the thrill of a woman taking back her power from people who tried to stomp on her, you'll enjoy this one.

The ML is there just to clap and admire her which I actually found hilarious -- I think there is a line somewhat like "oh, we need to go see this because we know how Shuo Yao behaves." Later, after some confrontational chaos is discovered, ML says something like "FL must have been here for this is typical of her work."

Another part someone asks the ML why he isn't protecting his woman, and he says "well she's furious right now so I think you better be careful." LOL

I'm not sure why this has such a low score. Yes, it is a vertical drama so you need to realize that it isn't going to have the scope of a regular production. It will have plot holes, skips in the storyline, and a limited cast. For being a historical and a vertical I though the costumes, sets, and acting was well done for what it was.

I found it on IQ (US) and I thought the subs made sense.

With its gentle tone and emotional depth, Past Lives sets the stage for a friendship that almost became more but remains most powerful in memory. Beautifully written and produced, it reflects the bittersweet truth of past relationships. A beautifully crafted reminder that some connections shine brightest in the past, even when tinged with sorrow.

In all, the story unfolds like a conversation with the past; soft, tender, and profoundly human. Every scene lingers with the ache of what might have been, reminding us that some connections are not meant to last, but to shape us. Thoughtfully written and gracefully produced, Past Lives captures the delicate balance between fate and choice, love and timing. This film doesn't offer closure for anyone who’s ever wondered about the one that got away; it provides understanding.

Zany Taoist shaman brings the fun

Is there any logic here on why things happen? No, but it IS hilarious from the get-go.

While trying to ascend Song Qing Ge finds herself waking up as the ML's wife. Lu Ting Yuan was about to dump the old wife (where did she go?) but our FL immediately throws him off balance with all her weirdness. So weird that he calls in the doctor who says she's fine and that her crazy may just "be who she really is." LOL

This vertical drama moves FAST. There is a lot of ground to cover and you won't be bored. Some of the outstanding things I loved was how quickly the ML's sister and mom decide that the FL should be kept in the family. The family as a whole responding to the FL (because they can read her thoughts; she can't read theirs; but I think they can read each others thoughts also - why? don't know, roll with it) is SIMPLY HILARIOUS.

With her ability to see the future, she keeps thinking about the disaster that awaits the Lu family -- understandably the Lu family (mother, two sons, daughter) really don't want those things to happen to them so they keep trying to change the future that FL predicts which leads to some very funny scenes.

Sets and costumes are also better than average for vertical dramas. There could have been more intimacy between the leads. I also feel it was a bit transphobic which I did NOT like (that could have been treated a bit better).

Overall, it is a fun quick watch so if you are standing in line somewhere, give it a try.

This is a vertical drama that can be found at IQ (US).
