Too much dragged will kill you.

This is my first Ji Jun Liang main character that i watch and Tang Qiqi is debuted with this. Both are my first review.

*inhale exhale* Ji Jun Liang knows how to kisses and he always getting horny for almost all the scene. Most of short drama ML need to learn how to kiss for him. Tang Qiqi despite being newcomer is better than famous short drama FL, she got potential. Their chemistry is cooking until the meat was being well-done

Plot is about FL being forced to kiss by ML without ML knowing before FL was being kidnapped and call ML but ML thinks FL is pulling prank and FL fight against kidnapper alone. FL wants to divorce ML with the crucial moment+ ML family didn't like FL and wants to match ML with family friend aka SFL. ML try to redeem himself by any means while FL wants to get divorce as fast as possible. While they are on divorce process, FL is pregnant and want to hide her pregnancy from ML.

ML characterization is on point, he is not bad person. He is making terrible mistake and try to cut himself from toxic family. I don't understand why people dislike FL character, if i was her i would do the same since ML didn't any trust for her. She knew what's right for her and never let herself being bullied by ML family. She indeed love him but her disappointment is bigger than her love plus she developed PTSD after her kidnapping

The ending was to rushed they could get giving that couple more lovey dovey moment or maybe explanation of the action. I remember there is other version of this story even with proper ending but all of chemistry never beats this version.

Still recommend this drama, despite all the flaw.

Stockholm Syndrome enjoyer would love this.

This is one of Chai Hui Xin underrated work because the plot is not much everyone liking *cough* Stockholm Syndrome. If you are morally right person, this drama is definitely NOT FOR YOU.

The Plot is about FL and ML who was being in love and want to get married after they graduated. Fate was playing cruel ML parents is dead by accident by FL father. Leading to them fall apart. To punish her, ML torturing FL by staying by his side like a canary bird. FL wants to get free from ML, so she is getting job without realizing the time since she is doing overtime.By tomorrow, ML comes to her workplace and met her boss as their company partner and feel overjealous. FL tried any means by asking her boss to accompany her to runaway from ML only to being catch again by him.

The Forced kiss is make me shiver (in good and bad way) because the sexual tension was sizzling especially the bathroom scene. Zhou Hang is such a good kisser and he is underrated since everyone barely talk about him.

Personally, I quite don't like the ending because it feels to rushed and you asked why they only get to make SML died in such a ridiculous way.

Only recommend if you are put aside the moral and Stockholm Syndrome story enjoyer.

cozy love designed by women who care & understand one another

The plot was solid and had me interested, even though it reminded me of the common trope where another company steals ideas. The side characters were also lovable and I loved the snippets where we got to see the side characters be happy. I would have never forgave Mind for what she did, but I would be proud of her improvement and taking action on becoming a better person. I liked how it touched on themes about corruption in corporations because it is currently happening. The chemistry was chefs kiss and had me giggling so badly to the point where I wanted to be in my own relationship with another girl. I want to be able to design my own love story with another person someday like they did. <3

Move On, we are not in 2023 anymore.

I was eager to watch Xie Yuwang and Lu Lulu second collaboration. I enjoyed their First collaboration and waiting for that long turns out it wasn't that much to wait.

The Plot is very 2023 coded. FL love ML twins. She make love with 'ML Twins' until get pregnant and they supposed to be married. ML Twins died in accident left FL being discarded by ML family since ML twins was being favored. ML turn to be Messiah by marrying FL which is make ML mother angrier. But when they get married ML left abroad alone leaving FL and she bore alone without anyone.

The Chemistry was left since Xie Yuwang knows how to kisses. FL characterization is inconsistent being doctor without logic and too dependent while ML mother and FL Family mistreating her. ML mother is pissed me of and she didn't get any character redemption. Couple lack of communication is sole problem since ML just left FL after they getting married so it's logic when he come back she want divorce, What do you expect, to wait like a nun?

The ending is trying to make open ending but somehow they force to Happy ending, duh.

Only to recommended for each artist fans.

If you don't want ML changed to 2nd ML after you get involved with love story of FL and ML then don't watch this.

This drama had great potential but writers ruined it all

Feels like eating bland curry.

I love Bai Yan and Wang Haozhen as actor and put my high expectation on this drama. I like dark romance and republican theme. i thought the formula is being there but turns out it was so-so for my liking.

Plot is generic formula. ML and FL was in love. FL seeing ML executed her 13 families and feeling heart broken. FL is disappeared while secretly pregnant. They met again while FL do arrange marriage meeting by her uncle. Family war between FL and ML make them fall apart. ML wants to win FL back by any means.

The kisses was indeed hot but still lack of chemistry and FL is being doormat character just want to make me sigh. She didn't do any revenge to spare her murdered family just being self-centered and didn't really care for her child due her neglience. ML is doing his best by portraying broken yandere character but still didn't make me like this drama.

Not really recommended unless you are respective actor fans.

Two great minds refused to be undermined by a power play

Lu Ling Feng and Su Wu Ming were summoned back to Chang’an under the seemingly benign pretext of escorting the golden peaches presented by the King of Kang. On arriving, they discovered that the peaches were merely a cover. What they were truly escorting back to the capital was something far more consequential.

Although the Crown Prince had ascended the throne, the influence of the Grand Princesses had only grown stronger. Her ambition to overthrow the Crown Prince had not faded with time. The Grand Princess sought to secure greater power for her son and for Su Wu Ming by pushing them into key positions. Yet the Crown Prince, wary of her intentions, viewed anyone she recommended with deep suspicion.

As a result, Lu Ling Feng was dispatched to Yongzhou as a judicial officer, forced to work under a magistrate loyal to the Retired Emperor and widely regarded as incompetent. Su Wu Ming fared even worse. He was left without an official post and given the hollow title of Criminal Investigation Scholar, a role that came with neither salary nor authority. Frustrated but undeterred, Su joined forces with the team to open a Su Shan snack eatery. The business unexpectedly flourished, and the profits allowed him to secretly establish an extensive spy network.

Meanwhile, Lu Ling Feng introduced a bold new policy: a round-robin visitation of Chang’an districts, personally hearing grievances from the common people. The cases ranged from the mundane, such as stolen chickens and marital complaints, to the deeply disturbing, including mysterious deaths and the discovery of a decapitated young woman. These investigations soon escalated into major cases that threatened not only the safety of Chang’an, but the very foundations of the Tang dynasty itself.

I have followed this series since the first instalment, through its two sequels, and it has never failed to captivate me. Each case is shrouded in mystery and initially appears to involve the supernatural. Yet, in a setting where superstition cannot be openly promoted, the truth is always revealed to be the work of human hands, using illusion and fear to masquerade as the occult. This balance between intrigue and rational explanation remains one of the series’ greatest strengths.

The cast delivered outstanding performances across the board. The chemistry between the two couples was engaging, while the dynamic between Lu Ling Feng and Su Wu Ming was particularly delightful, especially their habit of casually switching between each other’s given names and leaving everyone around them utterly confused. Fei, the resident clown, injected much-needed levity into the darker moments. Yang Zhi Gang portrayed Su Wu Ming with convincing restraint, embodying the image of a traditional, old-school mandarin who was nonetheless sharp, observant, and mentally agile.

If you enjoy ancient detective dramas filled with political intrigue and cleverly constructed mysteries, this series is well worth your time. Even if you usually prefer other genres, it might be refreshing to take a break and give this drama a chance. Enjoy.

Should focused on Female oriented instead

I was fan of Zhang Chuxuan and never watch Zheng Feng work. This is my first Zheng Feng work i ever watch

The plot is about FL found out her husband affair with her best friend, Her best friend murdered her husband (ML) and swapped their child after her death. Giving chance to reborn, she wants to get revenge to her husband and her best friend.

FL knew her child being swapped by her best friend so she tried to get back her child without being her best realized she will torturing her own child. The revenge plan is almost smooth even i almost forgot there is ML because his character is like side dish and forgettable. FL and ML didn't have any chemistry for romance and glad they don't put romance for a little bit. The ending is good since enemies is getting punished.

Still recommend to watch if you are Zhang Chuxuan fans.

Meticulously plot written at first but getting slope in the end.

I was fan of both actor (Zhang Chuxuan and Cheng Cheng). I put my high expectation on this drama and they come with almost no disappointment.

The plot is about FL found out her husband affair with her best friend and they want to kill and seize all of FL property. FL finally asks ML who was her dad illegitimate son to join force to fight her husband. There is little bit pseudoincest but actually ML is not FL dad son and secretly in love with FL but FL is always meticulous about their action so she didn't accept romantic feeling.

I like how story progress for FL being scammed and slowly try to get back her stolen property. The divorce is coming after she got all of her property. The child is pissed me out because he always take side with antagonist instead of FL. Despite long duration, they didn't tell about her child afterward.

Still recommend to watch if you want to watch revenge drama.

Watch this for the MDL challenge. In the end, this one the movie that manage make me breathless when I watch it……

Let's begin our review…

The film is based on the real-life miracle landing of Sichuan Airlines Flight 8633 on May 14, 2018. During the flight from Chongqing to Lhasa, the cockpit windshield shattered at an altitude of nearly 30,000 feet, causing explosive decompression and extreme cold.

Maintaining an extraordinarily cool head, the captain, Liu Chuanjian successfully landed the plane at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport with no fatalities among the 119 passengers and 9 crew members.

Director Andrew Lau turns this true story into a heart-pounding, adrenaline-fuelled high-altitude blockbuster that will literally leave you breathless.
The kind of movie that doesn’t just show tension, it makes you *feel* it in your chest.

I am amazed with how calm the pilot & flight attendants were during the crisis. Especially the head flight attendant, she really did manage to keep her calm & composure even with all the panic passengers.

I was amazed by how composed the pilots and flight attendants stayed during the crisis. Especially the head flight attendant—her strength and professionalism stood out. Even with panicked passengers screaming around her, she kept her composure and did her job flawlessly.

This movie truly made me breathless during the most intense scenes. If you were sitting next to me, you’d find me gripping your hand during those moments…

If you love films that pump adrenaline straight into your veins—if you want to feel every second of danger, courage, and human willpower—and keep your heart racing, this is definitely one you need to watch.

I highly recommend it.

Redemption for First Collab?

I was eager to watch second Collab from Chen Si and Han Yutong since they kind have a mysterious chemistry and their height is satisfying to watch (Both are tall). Glad, i was right to watch this even i prefer the first plot since i really like how the story progressed.

The Plot is like combination of Li Baiyan-Ma Lejie plot (enemy secretly in love with each other for 8 years) and Charon-Liu Lange plot (redemption for FL being neglected to ML and their child because FL supposed to be antagonist in novel. In the end she is fighting against writer's will). 26 years. FL wakes up in her 18 years old soul with her child claiming to be highschooler and she realize she woke in her future and getting married to her arch-enemy. Thinking her husband love her, she realized she is actually cheated on SML and neglecting her family and make ML is kind of nonchalant. FL wants to win back her husband favor with her 18-years soul.

Plot pace is quite fast. There is no angst feeling, FL way to redeem herself is quite funny. Love how their child acting is natural and not being forced to be mature.

The costume attire is ...Tinghuadao, you could do it better.

Recommend to watch for fun.

This was good, overall. Depressing all the way until the finale and special episode though, so you’ve got to be in the right mood.

The beginning of the story was very much about high schoolers being in situations bigger than themselves and making high schooler level decisions as a result. Haruki had so much going on with his abusive father and his head was a mess, so he kept disappearing and then re-appearing at his convenience. The separation, with Haruki pushing Jin away and leaving because he felt like he wasn’t good enough, and Jin letting him go without a fight, was very much high school-level thinking and frustrating, because it was a situation that could have been dealt with as partners with some communication.

I think Jin initially let Haruki go because he was a kid, Haruki dumped him, and he felt like he didn’t have the power to make anything better. But I didn’t really understand why he never reached out during their years of separation, especially once he found Haruki’s letter. They showed that Haruki tried to find Jin again, but Jin’s number wasn’t working and he had moved, so why didn’t Jin ever do the same?

The beginning of their relationship was a lot of dub con/non con and sexual harassment. The first three kisses were all dub con or non con, and the fourth started dub con and became consensual. It frustrated me that Haruki kept non consensually kissing Jin, even after promising that he wouldn’t anymore. He also did a bunch of other things that made Jin uncomfortable, like making him feed him water, hugging him from behind while Jin was washing his hands, smelling him, licking ice cream off his hand, sending kissing emojis, asking if Jin was trying to seduce him after Haruki pulled him and Jin fell on top of him, and the list goes on. I don’t understand why boy love dramas as a whole think this whole non-consent thing is a romantic way to showcase a developing relationship. It’s not sweet, it’s not cute. It’s sexual harassment and sexual assault and it shouldn’t be romanticized. Once they got together though, everything was consensual, both before and after the separation.

As typical for JBLs, the kissing is very chaste. Mostly pecks and dead fish lip presses. Even the shirtless make out scene had pretty much no lip movement. I thought the beginning half of the story was fine with those types of kisses. After all, they were inexperienced and awkward high schoolers. But when they reunited in college in the finale after being separated for so many years, a single lip peck was absolutely unacceptable. Even a passionate hug would have been better. It totally took the passion out of the situation. There was a proper kissing scene in the special episode, but if they were going to include a proper kiss, it should have been when they reunited.

The special episode was realistic, but disappointing to me as a romantic. Gay marriage isn’t legal in Japan and homophobia is a realistic reason not to want to come out. But all the same, I wish they had ultimately told their friends and at least had a symbolic non-legal marriage, especially given that Haruki was on board for that. It was just Jin that stopped them, although for fully realistic reasons. All the same, they did promise to be together forever, married or not, and I think a full epilogue-type episode like that was really needed to wrap the series up.
