Another drama about coroner. Let's watch…

The story begins with a major political tragedy. Shen Wan (SW) is the daughter of a high-ranking official and renowned coroner. Her family is massacred after her father is falsely accused of aiding a disgraced prince, Prince of Jin. SW is the sole survivor.

To hide from her enemies and seek justice, SW assumes the identity of Qin Wan, a woman who died in a remote valley. Using her exceptional medical and forensic skills, she solves a series of eerie cases and eventually meets Yan Chi (YC), the crown prince of King Rui. YC is determined to clear Prince Jin’s name—an ambition that aligns perfectly with SW’s mission to vindicate her father. As a result, YC becomes SW’s strongest ally and protector.

Together, they travel back to the capital while unraveling a string of strange and mysterious cases. Along the way, their relationship deepens, gradually evolving from mere partners into something more…

After returning to the capital, the discovery of a skeleton leads to the reopening of Prince Jin’s case. As they dig deeper into the investigation, YC and SW uncover the truth and ultimately expose a shocking secret buried deep within the palace.

That's pretty much the story without giving the spoiler. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ The chemistry between Landy Li & Ao Rui Peng not bad
+ The case & the overall plot are quite interesting
+ How funny that everyone definitely must be thrown up when they see their first autopsy. That's just so normal…
+ The way everyone around ML & FL support them

Overall this just another drama on my list

Boring, not make sense, too much useless scene, but it still a good movie I think

I might get some hate for this, but this drama honestly wasn't the best. I’ve seen much better work from Hou Minghao, like Love in the Cloud. While I’m trying not to be biased, this show only held my attention for the first 10 episodes; after that, it became incredibly boring. There were so many filler scenes that I found myself flying through 3 or 4 episodes in a single hour just to get through it. By the time I reached the end, the scenes felt useless, the plot was confusing, and the overall execution was just... "meh."

For example, why did when Dreamshard Immortal appear Hong Ye in scenes always involving prison and torture? Even Zhao Liying, who is my favorite, had a role that genuinely frustrated me. The female lead and supporting roles were equally exhausting to watch.

Then there is Bing Zhu, who constantly say about killing "evil" demons while he is slowly turning into one himself. The hypocrisy was hard to watch!

The time-travel where Xiaoyao returns to her past as Ning An started off well, But When she come back to the present not long enough, she met the 3 demon that want her to go to the past again to see why they have grudge on Hong Ye and then the story dragged on by having her go back yet again as a **Demon Lord**. It felt like the writers were just trying to stretch the episode count.

The constant, repetitive fighting between the humans and demons grew tireless. Furthermore, the logic of the side characters made no sense like Long Zhi why did she think killing Hong Ye’s family would benefit the demons or help Xiaoyao? It was a reckless move. and Ao Hen on more I don't even want to talk about him. He claims he wants "revenge" on Hong Ye, yet he is the one torturing Hong Ye and killing his people. The fact that he thinks Hong Ye is the one who needs to "pay" is ridiculous.

even the kiss scene scene is hard to watch maybe it better to not kiss.

Late watch as always

Saw this drama having hype a year ago, but I think I was more interested in other things and was in a drama drought( Not interested in watching dramas for a time). So a year later I was having a crave to watch one, I was debating whether to continue dramas I couldn't finish or just watch something new, after seeing the first episodes of Glory(2026) and watching a short costume drama, and seeing Blossom(2024) among the most popular chinese drama's, suddenly I just decided to watch Blossom(2024). As expected the hype wasn't for nothing, although the start may seem like the usual start of a regression drama, it was still interesting. After that we get to see mostly what the female lead and what her situation was, the male lead was still there but not as much as the female lead and they were also setting up his story, I guess you could say he wasn't the highlight, it was always the female leads family and adversaries up until when the main leads meet, that's where we see a little bit more of the male leads character and what he was like before he had white hair. We also get to see the crux of the story, The Emperor and the Duke of Ding and what there relationship was. Anyways I don't want to make a summary of the drama lmao, this is for documentation so it doesn't matter. I gotta say I really like how they made the first half of the drama more female lead centered then for the second half it is mostly male lead centered. After the disappearance of Wang Xingyue from the story, the story was revolving around the male leads situation. It also fits the character of the female lead, at first she had to rely on herself most of the time and she didn't have anyone outside her friends and family to care about, and lastly she was afraid of love due to what happened to herself and her mother. After meeting Song Mo she finally loved someone and cared for someone outside her friends and family. Her family then took a backseat and she was always together with the male lead. When they got married the focus of the story went to the Song Mo's family with Wang Xingyue popping up here and there. That was until Dou Ming died and shortly after Wei Tingyu, after that the story was truly focused on the Song/Jiang family then later on the Royal family. I gotta say though I thought there were more of the characters Dou Ming and Wei Tingyu, especially with that first episode. Didn't expect them to die just like that and be used as a removal of Wang Xingyue to the story. I kinda hated the love triangle between the leads and Yuantuan, he was literally the matchmaker for both in their previous life, but then I guess they wanted that as enough reason for him to betray Prince Qing. I like the emperor pretty crazy scheme, but damn I guess he failed in the previous life, I mean common, this guy actually risked everything for his plan, it worked out in the second run though. i mean we knew it would work out, knew it when the self insert of the author would always say that the female lead can change fate long as she has enough strength, but then also added that individual strength is insignificant, so long as she and Song Mo the fated ones work together they can change fate. Pretty Overpowered if you tell me jk hahah. That ending, I know a simple search would answer my question but I do wonder if the novel actually have sequels hahaha. The rebels are pretty greedy hahaha, could've had a pretty nice life but oh well, drama wouldn't happen if the characters were contented with what they had. The acting was nice at times Meng Ziyi was a little off but it got better with more episodes, Li yun rui on the other hand a ted better but couldn't cry as well as others. The other cast did really well, in return it made the quality of drama elevate alongside with a pretty great plot. The music wasn't really striking, doesn't matter that much to me, I understand though that amazing music will make the drama more memorable, still it's alright. It's also a great rewatch later on, as so with other great drama like this one. Liked the romance and it's pacing and I see why there chemistry were praised. Overall, pretty great drama, will probably rewatch sometime in future.

Subpar thrill, no drama, no mystery and no logic

I don't get what's up with people rating shows that don't deserve it so high and then giving shows a 5 or 6 that are clearly 8. This show is absolute trash tier. The only thing going on for it is the thrill you get by imagining the situation of the victims. Which is achieved by showing a room covered with plastic, showing large knives/axes, a meat grinder and so on.

There is literally no logic to the investigation. Policemen sticking like a sore thumb waiting for the perpetrator to come and draw money from the ATM. Heck, the murderers drawing money from the ATM as soon as the victim's relative send it is also a very stupid idea. 2 Policemen chasing a murderer fleeing in a truck decide to go out of their way and do a road rage battle with their fuking jeep against a fuking truck. How stupid can you be? Ofcourse he gonna ram you, why can't they just stay behind and chase him and call for help to intercept him? Why can't the policemen just blend in with the fuking crowd and just wait for the perpetrator to come draw money and nab him there? Why can't they just tail him "after" he has drawn money? No we are gonna sit in our car infront of the ATM on a road that has literally no parkings so we stick like a sore thumb.

There are some things you just can’t come back from

The show started out ok. I have yet to see a Thai bl pull off a great gun fight scene. The way they wave those things around is painful to watch. This series had a lot of those terrible moments. But I’ve pretty much just accepted that this is the way it is. So other than that, the actors did a pretty good job. The story just pushed things too far, and towards the end of the series I didn’t even want to see them together. There had been too much pain, too much physical damage, too much betrayal.
The writers didn’t even try to fix the relationship problems. They just said “oh well, I forgive him because I love him and I’ll happily accept all the garbage.” I mean really- what’s the big deal about your boyfriend shooting you in the back, anyway?
It would be one thing if they tried to make amends or dig into the issues. But they didn’t. The guy is an idiot for staying with someone who hurt him so much and that makes it unenjoyable to watch. Won’t be watching it again. Hope the actors get better roles next time.

We have a blue print which worked for thousands of years why not follow it?

Another public service announcement (PSA) on how to handle parents who are getting up there in age and how a single woman deals with being alone. As a dude, this series provided some interesting information and points of view for handling aging parents however, regarding the FL decisions... nonsensical. She's 39. When she reaches her aunts age she will feel the weight of her decisions. Her mother made the best decision ever. Raising children is the most rewarding thing you can do for a family and a society. Leaving legacy, place your love and life into another person's life. NO ONE is suppose to be alone. who is going to help you reach the top shelf? who is going to ensure your health if it's not your closest family? Paid professionals will only do the bare minimum. what's happens when a person becomes senile? All the options she was investigating for her parents should apply to herself as well. That dude cared for her yes, he was messed up but she was too... There is a saying women control access to s#x. Men control access to relationships. He wanted a relationship with her. They could have continued to lean on each other until they heal.

Early Review

The first episode of Spring Fever tries very hard to be mysterious and romantic… a little too hard 😅. Instead of clearly telling the story, it keeps too many secrets. We don’t know much about Bom’s sad past, Jae-gyu’s real job, or why they seem connected already. The show keeps saying “Wait and see!” but forgets to make us feel something right now. Because of this, the episode feels more like a long introduction than an exciting start.
But don’t worry — the actors save the day 👍. Lee Joo-bin does a great job showing Bom as both a quiet, broken teacher and a confident woman from her past. Ahn Bo-hyun looks scary at first, but surprise! He’s actually soft and sweet underneath (classic rom-com move 😌).
Even though the story feels a bit messy in episode one, the chemistry between the leads and all the unanswered questions make it clear: Spring Fever might get much better once the romance really starts 🌸💖.

A Magical Human Falling In Love With A Mythical Creature That's Lived 100's Of Years, Becoming Human

If Not For Xiao Zhan, I Probably Would Have Never Watched This Drama! Yes, I Love Xiao Zhan, And Adore Him... Magic Ring's And Soul Beast Were The Main Objective To This Drama.

1ST LET ME START BY SAYING, IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THIS DRAMA, YOUR BETTER OFF BUYING THE DVD, BECAUSE WHERE I WATCHED IT, AND FOUND IT ON T.V. There Were 2 Different Season 1 Provided By 2 Different People To Watch... Either There's No Sound Or Music Through Out The Episodes. I CAN UNDERSTAND CHINESE, I Just, Can't Read Chinese, So Seeing A Silent Screen With Only Chinese Writing Doesn't Help Me At All. If You Can Read Chinese Then That's Good For You. 👍🙂 Had I Known That I Would Have Happened I Would Have Rather Bought The DVD's To Watch... Or Maybe Might Even Have Issues With That Too... Could Buy A Subscription, I Guess... Which I Wouldn't, Because I Rather Have The Physical Copy, Then Just Having A Subscription. (By The Way, The Episodes Are VERY SHORT!!! There Maybe 20-30 Minutes Long.)

The Story Starts Out Slow... Xiao Zhan's Character Tang San Has 2 Different Soul Masters, So He Is Special, And Unique. He Is What They Call "TWIN SOUL MASTER"!!! From My Understanding He, And One Other Only Had The Twin Soul Master, The Other Was The Highest Soul Master Bi Bi Dong, But She Doesn't Really Appear Until The Very End Of The Drama.

Tang San Was Raised By His Father Which His Father Gave Him His Soul Master Hammer Left Hand. His Mom Who Had Passed When He Was Young, Left Him Her Soul Master Power Which Is Blue Grass Right Hand, Hence Twin Soul Master. Apparently The Blue Grass Is A Useless Power, So Everyone Kept On Saying, But Boy Did Tang San Make That Useless Power Work To His Advantage.

Tang San Wants To Go To School, But His Father Won't Allow It. This Whole Drama Is Based On How Many Soul Rings You Have, And What Type Of Soul Beast You Have, You Can Have Up To 9 Rings Which Is The Highest I Believe... Make A Long Story Short Tang San Meets A Man With Only 3 Rings, And His Soul Beast Is A Dog That Looks Like A Pig... 🤣😂🤣 Everyone Will Say It Looks Like A Pig, But He Angrlie Say It's A Dog. He Was The Only One That Told Tang San His Power Was Not Useless, And He Can Go Further.

Anyways The Father Leave Tang San To This Man, And He Becomes His Teacher. He Enters A School Where He Meets Some Not So Very Good Friends Except For Xiao Wu... NOW SHE IS A VERY INTERESTING CHARACTER... SHE IS VERY INOCCENT, ALMOST CHILD LIKE. I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT. 1st School Was A Dud. Not Such Great People There, And A Lot Of Back Stabbers.

The 2nd School They Went To Was Shi Lan Kei, A School For What They Call Monster Soul Masters... Anyways Xiao Wu Follows Tang San To The New School When At 1st No Is Friends Or Has Very Much Trust In Eachother. They All Have To Learn There Weeknesses, And Strengthens, And Learn To Use All There Powers Together To Fight Against Bad. Which They End Up Doing. Along The Way They Meet Bad, Which In Turn, Turn In To Good.

To Get A Ring You Have To Kill A Soul Beast, When You Kill That Soul Beast You Get They Powers Too... Say For Instance Tang San Killed A Spider, So Not He Had 4 Spider Legs To Help Him Fight. The Rings Are Different Colors, And Have A Higher Or Lower Level... All I Remember Was The Black One Which Means That Soul Beast Has Been Around For A Millennium, And Unless Your At That Level, It Could Take Over You. (Someone Killed A Weaker Soul Beast And Absorbed It's Energy, That Was To Powerful For Them To Absorb At That Time, And It Took Over Them, They Became A Kind Of Mindless Zombie, Looking For Who They Were Looking For, And He Himself In The End, Ended Up Hurting The Person They Were Looking For Stabbing Them Twice. Sound Stupid, And Farfetched, But It's What Happened... With Them Waking Up With The Help Of The Person They Were Looking For, And Not Knowing What The Heck Happened, And For Them To Ask Who Hurt The Person They Were Looking For, To Have Someone Else Say It Was You Who Hurt Them.)

Anyways So Tang San Had The Blue Grass, And Hammer Power, Xiao Wu Was A Bunny, The Captain Was A White Tiger, A Girl That Was His Fiance Was A Black Panther, One Boy Had The Power Evil Phoenix (He Had A Very Difficult Time With This Power, Because He Wasn't Supposed To Get It At The Time He Did, But The 6 Friends At His School Help Him Control His Powers Eventually.) There Was A Chief That Made Chinese Sausages (YUMMY! 😋😋😋) That Healed, And Kiwi's That Make You Fly For 15 Minutes. HENCE THE NAME FLYING KIWI!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣, And A Girl With A Pagoda That Have Other People Power, And Strenghth.

Even Though Some Powers Seemed Useless Or Out Of The Orderinary They All Persevered, And In The End 7 Friends Fought Together To Win A Competition Just So That Tang San Can See His Father Again. WHICH HE DID... But... I Leave That For You To Watch. I Will Say This I Am Not Shock At One Part To The Ending, But On The Other Hand I Kind Of Knew Something Was In The Mist. All I Have To Say Is How Do People Come Up With These Types Of Storys. (I've Watched Over Maybe Well Over 40-50 Different Chinese Drama's, More Or Less, And It Is Amazing To Me How Each, And Ever Drama Has It Own Unique Story Line, Good Or Bad, Happy Or Sad. Good Ending, Bad Ending.

I Will Say This Too... The Ending Was Very Disappointing... It Ended Too Abruptly, And The Way They Left It, Is Just L-A-M-E!!! That Is Why I Only Gave This Drama An 8.0 As Much As I Love, And Adore Xiao Zhan That's All I Could Give. Not Sure If Not Being About To Watch More Then Half The Drama With Sound Affected It, But... And Don't Get Me Wrong The Acting, Visual Affects Are Awesome... The Story Is Strange In It's Own Way Just Like All Drama's. I Hate To Say This Didn't Like Any Of The Music, Except For The One Xiao Zhan Song When They Were Trying To Make Music. And The Only Other One At The End There Last Meeting, Before The Last Competition.

But I Did See Something About There Being A DouLou Continent 2, But That Was Like 2-3 Years Ago... Unfortunately When I Watch The Ending, Like The Last 3-5 Minutes There Was No Sound So I Am Not Exactly Sure What Happened, But The Way They Left It, It Did Seem Like There Would Be A 2. It Highly Unlikely Though, Because I Noticed Xiao Zhan Looks To Have No Interest In Making Drama's Anymore... He Seems To Be More Into Making Music, Especially With His 1st Music Album That Just Came Out At The End Of November. I Would Love A DuoLuo Continent 2, Because There Are So Many Things That Were Left Out, And Unanswered... But If There Is Well, I Guess It Will Just Have To Be A Mistery, And We'll Never Know. KIND OF SAD, But Oh Well...

Where the hell is the storytelling in this film?

I hesitated whether to write this review, but since I invested my time and made it to the very end, I decided to do it anyway.

The film started off quite nicely in terms of visuals. The opening scenes caught my interest, but soon after that came a major disappointment. First and foremost, the overuse of very artificial CGI and green screen was impossible to ignore. The film was advertised as showcasing breathtaking landscapes, yet there were only a few such scenes; most of the “outdoor” settings were clearly shot in a studio. There was far too much music, and for the most part it completely failed to match the atmosphere—rather than immersing me in the world, it constantly pulled me out of it. Unfortunately, these are not the most painful issues this film suffers from.

The two most serious flaws are the problems with the plot and the poor acting.

Where the hell is the storytelling in this film? The film fails to establish any overarching stakes. It does not build its characters. The viewer is told that they are supposed to care about the characters’ fate, but is never given a real chance to root for any of them—we never see how their relationship develops, how it grows, how feelings are born between them. Instead, we are simply informed: “these two love each other, you should root for them.” There is no chemistry between the main characters. Every scene is constructed according to the “tell, don’t show” principle, which in a medium like film is frankly insulting to the audience. Perhaps Tsui Hark assumed that absolutely every viewer had read the books, and that it was enough to say “this is the Venom of the West, he is their enemy,” without ever showing the audience why that is the case. But that assumption is a fundamental mistake. A film must stand on its own as a complete work—and this one does not.

I move on with pain to the acting, which I found shockingly disappointing. I consider Xiao Zhan to be a good actor with a natural style of performance. In his earlier works, he was like a breath of fresh air—sincere, genuine, full of emotion. Here, he was a pathetically wooden presence. There was no subtlety whatsoever. The performance hits the viewer over the head with stupidity and pathos. Yes, this may have been the direction chosen by the director for the character, but that only means the actor’s potential was completely wasted. If I had not known Xiao Zhan from his other roles and had seen this film as my first exposure to him, I would have assumed he wasn’t an actor at all, just a wooden log dressed in a costume.

Do I know what kind of personality any of the characters in this film actually has? No. Do I remember any specific scene from this film three days after watching it? Only vaguely, and not in full. Did this film have any positive aspects at all? Both female actors were beautiful and clearly tried their best, but with material like this, they had nothing to work with.

My positive points go exclusively to the costumes, the horses, Khan, and both female actors. And yes—even though his role was poorly written, Bayaertu truly showed class.

The Season I Never Expected To Have

Alice in Borderland season 3 is a continuation of the adventure of Arisu and Usagi in the world of life and death. It is the season where the Joker card plays the role as the game master.

This season shows that living in the world is much more meaningful than death. Living may equal pain and sadness, but it also gives us life and happiness you can't experience in death. It also shows new opportunities and hope that death can't give you. That's why living is much better than death. Everyone does not have a chance to live a life because of circumstances that they have, and we people are lucky enough to live, so cherish your life and be kind to yourself.

Sacrifice is also shown in this drama. It may seem like a painful act, but it highlights the strength of human connection, how people are willing to give up something precious for the sake of others. This season reminds us that survival is not just about winning games, but about the choices we make and the values we hold onto.

I'm really not fond of this season. Too many unanswered questions and loopholes, but it's a good drama, just not as great as how season 1 and 2 were executed. But this season tells us what it truly means to live. Just like how Arisu was willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of his wife and child, it shows how deeply he loves them and how much meaning life gains when it is lived for others.

Death may seem like the easier choice, but living fills the void of darkness that death never can.

A Very Well Directed Slowburn Pleasant RomCom

So, completed watching Shine On Me, and my first review here and what a drama to review. Its a very calm, composed, heart-warming simple rom-com dramas. There is no unnecessary breakup scenes or dramas here, just Male lead(ML) and Female Lead(FL) become each other's light. The rewatch value this drama is going to get in Winters and Holidays will be insane.
GUMAN has again hit it out of the park and for me this is her best adapted drama on the basis of both writing and production value wise. It is cleary visible as she was heavily involved in production of this drama from casting to screenwriting.

I dont want to spoil or write synopsis here as I think there is trailer out there for that. The story is simple, nothing new or rocket science, but the way its directed and presented is one of the best I have seen to come out from China. The screenplay is smooth, you just get engaged and attached with characters, you feel the blush, the laughs, the hatred and everything. There is no dull moment here. The characterisation is so good, the emotions and trauma of male lead whose dream gets shattered is beautifully written and directed and backstory of our FL is also brilliantly written. But, one criticism I have is the screen time of supporting actors like the ML's college friend and senior just gets lost in later half of the story, he should have been there and also FL's brother and her colleagues at office should have been explored more. The wedding scene though carries essence but it should have had happened in the presence of her friends and family. Also, where did Lin Yusen's mother go? She should have been there in in wedding. Thats a big blunder from Guman though

Coming to casting, well Guman has hit the bulls eye. Song Weilong and Zhao Jinmai are just perfect for the role, both are brilliant through out the series. Song Weilong has always been good actors, he is vibrant, has that swag, and calmness in his performance(Obviously, this man is so handsome with great physic). Zhao Jinmai, I just fell in love with her in this series, she looked so beautiful through out and acted so so beautifully. She should do more this genre of drama. Their chemsitry throughout was superb, felt like they were real couple. There has been criticism of Zhao Jinmai regarding performing kiss scenes, but they will get brilliant answers, WATCH OUT. Can't wait for this pair to reunite once again, not in idol drama but in historical one cause the hangout of this drama will last so long. All supporting cast did really well, Lai Wei Ming was good and really makes you hate him. Well written but standout personally for me is Jin Qiao Qiao and Fan Shiran.


OVERALL, ITS A BRILLIANT AND WELL WRITTEN DRAMA. No unncessary sub plots, just soothing and calm. 10/10 for me with minor hiccups on writing

Su WuKong!!! The Monkey King, Need I Say More??? His Golden Dragon Staff Is So Awesomely Beautiful!!

1ST I MUST SAY HOW GORGEOUS, AND BEAUTIFUL THE MONKEY'S SU WUKONG GOLDEN DRAGON STAFF IS!!! THAT THING IS LIKE SO FREAKIN PRETTY!!! ESPECIALLY THE ONE IN THIS MOVIE!!!
Let Me Start By Saying I Had Watched This Movie Almost 18 Years Ago... So... I Might Not Remember Every Detail. When My Mother Told Me That Jackie Chen, And Jet Lee Were Going To Be In a Movie Together, I Was Like Impossible, I Didn't Believe It At 1st, Because Both Are So Well Know For There Martial Arts Skills. Then When She Told Me It Was Going To Be About The Monkey King, I Was Like No Way, Because I Knew Niether Would Play The Monkey King As A Character. (Ha Ha Ha I Was Even More Truly Shocked To Find Out That Jet Lee Was Playing The Mischievous Monkey King. I Have To Say I Laughed My Behind Off!)

I Did Really Like Jackie, And Really Respected Him, As An Actor, And A Singer. I Liked Him Even More After He Sang This One Song, And He Said That The Song Meant This World Is Not Yours, This World Is Not Mine, This World Is Not Not Theres, This Is Our World, Etc.
But I Saw Something On Him, And I'd Hate To Say This, But I Found Something Out About Jackie Chan, That I Really Didn't, And That I Am Not To Proud Of Him For, ESPECIALLY Because It Has To Do With His Daughter, But... I Feel Really Sad For His Daughter, Because She Is Still His DAUGHTER, And Family. It Is His Preference, And His Choice To Be The Way He Is, But It Makes Me REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN HIM!!! More So, Because It's When His Daughter Needed Him The Most. Even Though I Am Upset, With Him, I Will Not Let This Affect My Review Or Rating, At Least I Hope I Won't...

The Movie Was Actually Was Really Good, And Fun, Action Packed. It's More Then I Expected Of A Movie About A Magical Monkey King Called Su WuKong!!! By The Way I Knew That Su WuKong Was Magical, But I Didn't Know He Was That Magical... In Short One Of Strained Of Plucked Hair Is, Was Magical. Boy Was It Magical!!! JUST 1 LITTLE STRAINED OF HAIR!!! 🤯🤯🤯
Jet Lee Did An Excellent, And Amazing Job Playing The Monkey King... At 1st With All The Make-Up On, And All The Stuff For The Monkey King Outfit, Costume, Crown, Hair, Ect., It Was Hard To Tell It Was Him. From Scratching His Head To Moving Around Like The Mischievous Monkey King. He Did An Awesome, And A Wonderful Job Recreating The Monkey King Su WuKong!!!
He Did Played 2 Different Characters Some Of The Monkey King, And Then Some A Monk. Both Monkey King, And The Monk Both Fought Crazyly. The Monk Was On A Mission To Find The Golden Dragon Staff, Now This Is Where The Strained If Hair Comes In, But You'll Have To Watch It To Find Out.

So A Young White Boy That Loves Martial Arts Videos Goes To Buy Kung Fu Movies From A Elderly Man (Jackie Chan). The Golden Dragon Staff Is Passed On To The Boy, By The Elderly Man, Because The Elderly Man's Shop Is Being Robbed. It's Covered By A Cloth So The Boy Has No Idea What It Is, All He Knows Is To Keep It Safe, And To Protect It With His Life, Because The Elderly Man Told Him To. The Elderly Man Told Him He Was The Keeper Of The Staff, And He's Been Protecting It All These Years.
The Young White Boy Get Sucked Back Into The Past In Antcient Times, I Believe, Because Of The Staff, And He Comes Accross, A Drunken Master Who's Immortal (Jackie Chan), When They 1st Meet, WOW!!! 😂🤣😂 I Just Remember It Being Way To Funny!!! CLASSIC AMERICAN/ CHINESE HUMOR, I GUESS YOU WOULD CALL IT!!! English, And Chinese Lost In Translation... Maybe Not Knowing English, And Not Knowing Chinese!!! But Then, Wahlah English!!!
Anyways The Boy, And Drunken Master Come Accross The Monk, Where Both The Drunken Master, And The Monk Fight Eachother, Which Was Pointless, Because They Both Matched One Another With Martial Arts Skills!!! (My Mom Had Said The Director Of Forbidden Kingdom, Said When Jackie Chan, And Jet Lee Fought, He Didn't Have To Direct, Or Choreograph Anything, Because They Already Knew What To Do. I Said Of Corse, Because They Both Know How To Fight!) Anyways They Both, Dunken Master, And The Monk Agreed To Disagree In How To Train The Kid In Martial Arts. At Times I Felt Like They Were Just Messing Around With Him, And Pulling His Leg.

All 3 Came Accross A Pretty Young Chinese Girl Named Sparrow, Who Wanted Avenge Her Family, I Believe. The Young White Boy, Was... IN LOVE AT 1ST SIGHT!!! She Had A Specific White Jade Sparrow Hair Pin, That She Was To Use, And Kill with. I Can't Remember Who It Was That She Wanted To Kill, If She Even Killed Them, I Do Remember Her Fighting At The End With The White Jade Sparrow Hair Pin, I Believe. I Can't Remember Did It End Good For Her, But For Sure Not Until They Go Back To The Present Time. I Guess Technically In The Present Times It's Still Not The Same Girl Sparrow, Just A Look A Like, Or Doppelganger!

As You Know Jackie Chan Played 2 Characters The Elderly Man With The Shop, And The Drunken Master. He Did A Great Job Playing The Elderly Man, Because When I 1st Saw Him Too, I Couldn't Tell If It Was Him Or Not... (I Guess The Make Up, And Costumes, And Stuff For Both Jackie Chen And Jet Lee, Was That Good, So They Were Unrecognizable.) Anyways Back In The Present The Elderly Man Was Back, When Last Saw Him , Before The Boy Got Sucked Into Antcient Times, You Think That He's A Gonner, Because Of The Robbery... Back In The Present World He Told The Boy, He Was Immortal. Sparrow Was A Different Person, But Looked The Same, If I'm Not Mistake, Her Name Had To Do With Sparrow Too...

SADLY I DON'T REMEMBER THE MUSIC, IF IT WAS GOOD OR BAD... BUT I GUESS IT WASN'T THAT BAD, BECAUSE IF IT WAS I WOULD REMEMBER THAT... I Usually Remember The Bad Songs... Anyways I Rated Music 8.5, Because I Am Not Sure, Don't Want To Give To Low Of Rating Or To High, Because I Just Don't Remember.

Anyways As Far As The Ending Goes, I Really Can't Remember It... Ha Ha Ha I Know Lots Of Detail Above, But I Don't Even Remember What Happened To The Monkey King, I Do Know The Movie Was Based On Him. I Will Say This... The Monk Had To Do With The Monkey King, And The Money King Had To Do With The Monk!!! They Connected, And Intertwined Together Some How. That All I Can Say.

A thriller that chases it's own tail a bit but has a happy ending, ( twice)

I should rate this lower as I was disappointed in:
1) how it stalled around episode 11 by throwing in the misnomer trope "noble" break up
2) the whole police force were inept at catching the villain (over & over & over again).
3) everything is all tied up & they throw in a last minute ......yeah just see #2
4) yup there seems to be 2 happy endings, but let me just complain about how annoyed I was at the first "happy ending" that wasn't & how the second happy ending irritated me by suddenly turning into a comedy with the police force , again proving to be inept & crashing the main couple's honeymoon.
5) female lead acts like a puppy...felt miscast & her character poorly written

rating is as high as it is due to the really cool idea of seeing smells & how that worked really well with the storyline . Also , the male leads were the highlight of the drama.

Do be warned, this is a thriller with a scary (although sexy) creepy villain. violence is mostly in the first 8 or so episodes . This is one of those dramas where the bad guy is scarier because he's so cold & inscrutable.

Not Bad So Far

Spring Fever isn’t exceptional, but it’s not bad either. It’s an easy watch with a few fun and engaging characters. The male lead is great and definitely one of the highlights. I’m not usually a fan of the female lead in the dramas I’ve seen her in, but she’s fine here. The nephew feels like a younger version of his uncle—just without the muscles. The supporting cast is solid and adds to the overall enjoyment.

The plot is decent and is slowly becoming more interesting. I’m especially curious about the leads’ pasts, which seem likely to play a bigger role moving forward. Overall, it’s a comfortable, watchable drama, and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next.
