Fresh plot using real event and combine with fantasy

I actually saving this drama to watch and decide to watch in 2026. I am glad i watch this since i like history drama and need to adjust my mood and mind. Actually it's like combination of Japanese Movie Eien No Zero with cellphone as their real time connection.

Plot is about FL's cellphone accidentally travels back to 1937 and her phone was picked by ML. FL ask ML to find her great grandfather and few times later ML met FL grandfather. FL suggest her great grandfather to join army even though she know ML and her great grandfather destiny couldn't be change.

It's a great drama with a strong sense of patriotism and less romantic (FL could get deeper connection with ML and it was beautiful to see). The combination from Modern spoiled girl X Young soldier from Second Sino-Japanese war (1937-1945)

The heartbreaking moment when FL see ML real grave in her time. I personally liked the BE (and will give this drama 9 if this drama has BE) but this drama is giving mercy to audience so they put the epilogue in the end.

Recommended to people who like history and fantasy,

This slow burn romance premises the modern answer to the ceo romance - they're both ceos!

The real genius of this drama is the love triangle at the centre of it. Both men start from places of coldness and rejection for various reasons, but then they diverge:

1) One is so insecure, stubborn, and stuck in his own head that he misses chance after chance to change course and confess
2) The other resists due to misunderstandings and is also stubborn and a bit cold but wakes up to the fact that he wants what he wants, and he needs to go for it and not have regret

Various realistic and kind of intriguing misunderstandings keep this slow burn romance interesting through 3/4s of it, but once the love triangle resolves, the other plot lines don't have much interest.

The acting is good enough for the limited range they are portraying in this show, this doesn't have the high highs and low lows of more ambitious and dramatic projects.

The morals are simple the key to success in love, work, life is to work hard, take risks and change course, and believe in an optimistic future. Cinematography and clothes are competent enough.

If you like Jane Austen, slow burn, love triangle/misunderstanding type plots, this one could be for you.

Chosen Masterpiece!

The best way to describe this series is that it is off-beat and quirky. It is also warm, gentle, loving, peaceful, reflective, tender, devoted, relaxed, reverent, nurturing, and supportive. Have I left anything out? Oh yes, it is joyful! And underlying it all, is a powerful message for change. A change that will come. I could have quickly finished this series, but I deliberately did not want to. I wanted the warm snuggly feeling that came over me while I watched each episode to not leave me; so, I spaced out the timing to watch this series as long as I could to feel that pleasure.
This is a story about a ‘family’ that serendipitously forms almost by fate. It looks like all the members are lonely but in reality, they are not. They are unique individualists who have carved out singular spaces in society for themselves. But there does come a time when companionship becomes a necessity; this is their journey to amity. While the story may seem simple, it is uncommonly intense. It covers so many planes of human connections that it almost becomes overwhelming in scope.
This is one of the best gay stories I’ve seen, blending gentle storytelling with thoughtful commentary on outdated social norms. The narrative was presented in soft, off-beat tones not meant to offend anyone. It powerfully suggests that gay people and other marginalized silent classes deserve full inclusion in the culture and perhaps it is time for them to be seen as part, and whole, of the society to which they belong.

Unmissable for dark crime/thriller fans

Despite not being a stranger to the genre having seen plenty of kdramas (such as Sherlock, Sketch, Taxi Driver and Signal), The Truth Within happens to be my first Chinese crime/thriller drama.

Since having discovered Luo Yunxi thanks to TTEOTM, I had secretly hoped he would choose a thriller project someday (and a villain role in a modern project!) but didn't think that wish would be fulfilled so quickly - it's safe to say it did NOT DISSAPOINT.

It's been a long time since I binged a drama - even the best ones begs a slower watch at times. It wasn't so much about the action, which is reserved for the final explosive two episodes towards the finale, but it was the moments of absolute reflective quiet that draws the viewer in like bugs to a spider's cocoon. This is one of the strong highlights of Bojian.

Before you know it, you've been ensnared. 5 episodes are past you, and you've discovered another gem in Cdrama world.

What strikes Bojian different than the other crime works is the sheer creativity of each case relating to the Raw Diamond mystery, which remains as a larger, unresolved picture throughout the drama. Each victim and concept evokes the extremeties of both gut-lurching horror and reluctant fascination from the viewer, exploring the bounds of immorality humans are more than capable of.

The perpetrators and cases are fantastic in drawing a blend of thought provoking themes including moral ambiguity, grief, reasoning, justice and psychology. It ties all nicely together once the pattern is recognised. There are some taboo themes associated with some that are worth the praise for its inclusivity.

It's one thing to guess the perpertrators, and another layer of complexity behind how the crime was carried out. It's truly a feast for those who love mysteries, whodunnits, and analysing human behaviour.

There was a particular scene in EP16 where it was apparent Luo Yunxi's quiet voice adds an extra layer to the nail biting suspense, making the registration of what he is implying in an interrogation sequence far more foreboding and chilling than if he had shouted. It goes without saying his screen presence is immaculate, and in that few minutes it was like the feeling of watching the first scene of TTEOTM all over again, where the subtleties in his performance commands one's attention. I can assume it only appears as an effortless feat to those with no performance knowledge.

However that is not to say Bojian is without minor flaws. The drama is suprisingly shorter than anticipated, and the truth behind Fei's accident was underwhelming personally - it felt too clear cut and quick without specificities. Hence resolving the case felt too abrupt despite its full closure.

The drama ended up breaking my usual no-binge routine. The dark atmosphere, the slow, mellow music paired with undertones of depravity, and the ultimate hunger for truth makes it difficult to pull away from the story. Despite the flaws and hiccup with pacing at the final runs to Ep21, it's well worth the watch.

one of the best dramas ever. Excellent characters that I will never forget! Ren Ruyi telling a temporarily paralyzed Ning Yuanzhou that he was going to father her baby was so funny. Every one of the men from Six Realms Hall - esp the sweet guy who loved fluffy things, and Yuan Lu - were delightful! Yu Shishan was super well done and of course, Liu Yuning ❤️Just loved almost everything!

The most engaging cdrama ever I've ever watched. Script was well organized and sequenced properly to not leave any details, paired with the best casting and their talents. The storyline did not only focus on the 2 leads, it also included everyone's struggle and how they overcome it, plus, the character development is really great.

Compelled to write a review because it's that good.

For me this drama is on a whole different level. So as a regular CDrama watcher, I didn't have much expectation, just a few romantic scenes, a change of heart, and a little bit of action, but damn. I was flabbergasted by SAL—the plot, the cast, the OSTs, everything.

About the cast:

Esther Yu—I see people hating on her unnecessarily. She is the perfect cast for SAL. She can do both—a mature grown woman and an immature teenager. I think the director knew exactly what the story needed.

He Yu—Imagine anyone other than him playing Jin Zhao, CAN YOU? That's it. He is irreplaceable. He is the whole package, and as the director said, heaven decided on Jin Zhao.

Ignore the negative PR. Just go and watch it. It's that good.

THE BEST KDRAMA OF THE YEAR?

The third season of Taxi Driver delivers everything it promises and goes even further. The story feels more confident and emotionally sharper, knowing exactly when to hit the gas and when to let silence speak. The special appearances by Jang Nara, Jeon So-nee, and Sho Kasamatsu truly elevate the season—each of them arrives like a small narrative earthquake, shifting the atmosphere in a meaningful way.
The biggest highlight, however, is Ahn Go-eun’s development. She moves beyond being just the moral heart of the team and becomes a clear driving force in the story—stronger, more complex, and carrying conflicts that hurt because they feel deeply human. Her growth comes not through speeches, but through difficult choices.
Overall, the season is intense, well-paced, and emotionally rewarding. Taxi Driver 3 proves it still has energy, fresh ideas, and, above all, characters worth following.

Mentally unstable woman judging kids

My god, this was bad, not just bad, real bad. This woman was in no way able to take on juvenile cases. She took a grudge she had from 2 people to a whole age group. She was in no way mentally capable of looking at cases without personal feelings being involved. Yes, what happened to her kid was terrible, but that absolutely did not justify her behavior towards actual victims and culprits alike. She was a bitch through and through. And then I haven't even spoken about the dude, he let her just walk over him every single time again. He would have a valid idea of what to do, and she would just dismiss everything he said as if he were a child. Which I must say, he also truly acted like one. Every single time he would have an idea, she would say hell no, and they would go on to find out that she was, in fact, right. This woman was consistently proven correct; she was never wrong about any case. I did not like this woman in the slightest, and her character ruined the whole show for me. I did enjoy the cases overall, but I just couldn't get into it because I found her so ungodly annoying.

Watched this because someone posted on feeds, curious I checked it. Turn out even though it's quite messy, this is actually quite good…

Let's discuss drama…

Story about Xia Jun Feng (JF), Professional race car driver who seeks treatment for his condition and meets urologist Jin Ye (JY). JY falls in love with JF at first sight and, under the guise of "treatment," gets closer to him. Their doctor-patient relationship soon crosses boundaries, and JY becomes an indispensable part of JF's life.

The biggest problem they have to face now is JF's dad. JF is a rich son of a wealthy man, his dad expected him to married & have children to continue their bloodline. JF even already had a fiancé ready for him to take it into next step. So, now how JF & JY face JF's dad & the world about their relationship...?

Yeah, as messy as the summary is, this short drama didn't care about doctor-patient law that prohibited doctors from dating his patients. Haha

But in terms of short drama, this has everything you need. Complete & compelling story that made you stick to your screen, chemistry between the couple, the ‘hot’ scene that made your breath stop. Hoho…

So, if you have just 2 hours to spend, this can be a good choice to watch…

Never understand with the ending.

I watched this drama since i want to check on Zhao Fei and I don't know if it's torturing the FL or Me the watcher. Yang Han is quite scumbag in this drama. The chemistry and romance scene between them is non-exist. Almost every scene is torturous.

FL is treated like a trash, and all her misfortunes are caused by the ML yet she can still live with him like nothing happened. Worse of all, ML has a constant affair while FL is devoted to him. The fact that it has a happy ending is just unbelievable, FL shouldn't back again to ML.

Its not Zhao Fei best work and Yang Han, recommended if you like Female lead is being tortured mentally.

Noona Romance Done Right!

Such a perfect ending!!!
I loved the concept of meeting again after 7 days as it really gave the couples a chance to feel the reality and decide if they truly wanted to give it a go.
My favorite couple, Bonhee × Mujin made it to the end and I couldn’t be happier!
Congratulations to the other pairs as well and I genuinely hope they stay together for a long time.
And the panelists? Honestly one of the best I’ve ever seen. No unnecessary chatter, no irritating members and their comments were genuinely fun to listen to so I never skipped their parts.
Overall I really hope they make a season 2 since it has the potential to leave people eagerly waiting for it!

Yunmiao with less villain

I watch this since i like Wen Moyan and wonder what kind of this drama she shoots.

The synopsis is somewhat looks like Yunmiao, but every story and character is incredibly well-developed. In Yunmiao, each villain would be dragged out for several episodes, but this is different the focused its about FL journey with her brothers.

I think this is better than Yunmiao. It solves two problems at once, resolving the subplot and giving the FL valid explanation for having her brothers! This process of going from unpleasant to satisfying is very good! Another reason why this drama is so comfortable to watch is that the portrayal of villains is less than that of good people.

The stories are fresh, but inevitably there are some verbal sparring sessions, since the FL speaks less and the supporting characters speak more .While some stories aren't without their highlights, because they rely on metaphysics, there are no plot twists; everything is predictable and simply presented in a straightforward manner.

Worth to watch.

3 Life Times, Over 10,000 Years For One Another For To Find Eachother Again, For One To Be Locked...

It Took 3 Life Times, Over 10,000 Years For One Another For To Find Eachother Again By Accident, And By Chance, And For One To Be Locked Away Forever. 😭 ***WHAT AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER COSTER THIS DRAMA HAS BEEN***

1st I Must Make This Comment, I Have MANY FAVORITE ACTORS, SOME I CAN'T STAND LIKE YANG YANG, KU KAI, LUO YUXI!!!
I 1st Saw Huo Ming Hao, NEO About A Year Ago, By Chance SADLY. ☹ He Was In A Music Video, A Rap Song Sang By Liu YuNing For The Fangs Of Fortune Drama, Which By The Way I Have Not Watched Yet. Neo's Look In The Music Video, Is Just Wow... They Make Him Look Beautiful, Handsome, Gorgeous All At The Time Just Like In This Drama. Although I Do Remember Seeing Another Music Video Before The Liu YuNing Rap Song, The Whole Cast Is Singing, And Dancing To A Really Cute, And Happy Song, And Neo Has Blond Hair. Could Be Before Or After, Bad Memory. Anyways, I Noticed Him Then, But I Didn't Know Who He Was, But Did He Catch My Eye... He Seemed Familiar, But Had No Clue, Only Person I Knew Was Chen Xiao, Which By The Way I Do Not Like Her. 😂🤣😂 Anyways Whatever It Might Be, I Wish I Knew About This Young Man Sooner... MY GOD, HE Is So Cute, Handsome, And So Freaking Gorgeous...
(I Still Love And Adore My YiBo, And Zhan Though. So To All You Singles, Or One Actor Fans, "WHATEVER!!!" 😝 I Have Probably Over 20 Favorite Actors. Yes, And I Don't Care What Anyone Says About Only Having One Ba-Hum-Bug!!!)
I Actually Finally Saw Him With Seven In H!6, For The 1st Time On January 6th, 2026, Watched It, And Thought Neo Was Such A Cutie Pie And Had To Watch This Drama. WHA-LA!!! PLUS I Believe I Watched Crush Of Music Before The Episode With Seven, Because Of Liu YuNing, And Zhou Shen, (YES I AM A FAN OF LIU YUNING, AND ZHOU SHEN TOO!!!) And Neo Was In The Episode I Watched, So I Knew Who He Was... That Is The Whole Reason Why I Wanted To Watch The H!6 Episode White Seven, Because Of Her And Hou MingHao!!! Thought I Was Very Confused, Because She Didn't Pick Him Right Away From The Get Go But She Explained, It's Because He Wanted To Take Her To Demon Valley, And Make Her Study, When I Saw This Episode I Was Like HUH? After Watching The Drama, And Rewatching Highlight Of The Show, I Now Understand. There Was Another Reason, But You'll Just Have Watch That H!6 To Find Out. Plus Hou Minghao Says In That Episose, I Don't Care That She Didn't PICK ME, I AM JUST GOING TO PICK HER!!! And Grabs Her... 🥰🥰🥰
(It's So Funny Too, Because I'm Like Why Is This Dude #1, #2 On My Drama List When I 1st Joined, NOW I SEE WHY!!! Oh My God I Am So In Love With This Cutie Pie!!! Thanks To YuNing For Singing The Fangs Of Fortune Rap Song. P.S. BY THE WAY NEO SINGING REALLY AWESOME TOO... 👍👍👍)

The Drama Was Awesome, And Everything Was Great. I Loved Everything About This Drama, I Do Always Say That About Most Drama's I Watch Expect For A Few, Actually I Am Pretty Shocked That I Didn't Give This One A Lower Score, And Just Lower To A 9.0 Just For The Fact Of The Ending. (Which By The Way Is Kind Of Confusing To Me, Because What she Kept Going Into Is Just Memories Of The Past, Soo... ***SHRUGS*** How Was Once Was, Going To Begin A New??? Or Was It Really Truly Of The Past??? I'm Beginning To Realize It, It Wasn't Just Memories, It Really Was The Past. That's Why She Herself Was The Azure Dragon, And The Princesse When She Went Back Into The Past.
NOPE, WRONG!!! She Cultivated For 3 Years To Perfect And Master A Type Of Magic To Go Back Into Her Memories In Her Own Mind Just To See, And Be With Hong Ye Again. I Was Right The 1st Time, Those Were All Just Memories, So Like I Said How Will The Story Beginning Again, And Start A New???

Before I Say Anything Else I Will Say The Out Come Even Though I REALLY REALLY REALLY LIKED THE DRAMA, The Ending Pissed Me Off, Because For One When He Had No Powers, And He Was Going To Leave Her, He Promised He Would Always Talk Everything Though With Her, But The Ending, And Him Disappearing Was His Decision, And His Choice Alone, He Didn't Talk It Over With Her At All... He Only Realized That He Used Her Both Previous Lifes To Get What He Wanted, And He Was Very Sorry... For A Demon That Never Crys, He Cried, Saying Good Bye To Her!!! And I Understand Under The Circumstances, He Had To Think Quick, And I Know He Would Do Anything For Xiao Yao, Even If It Meant Dying To Protect Her, BUT COME ON, OVER 10,000 YEARS, AND 3 LIFE TIMES TO BE TOGETHER FOR A FEW DAYS, OR FEW WEEKS JUST FOR HIM TO SEAL HIMSELF AWAY IN THE KUMOR MIRROR!!! 😭😭😭 ***REDICULUS, AND JUST UTTERLY OUTRAGEOUS*** MY QUESTION IS WHY COULD HE SEAL HER WITH HIM??? WELL I GUESS NOT, BECAUSE THE MIRROR WAS GOING INTO HIS BODY!!! ACK, THAT PISSED ME OFF...
(I Have Watched Well Over 40-50 Chinese Drama, Movies, And I Have Maybe Seen 8-10 With Happy Endings Under The Power, The Blue Whisper 2, Fated Hearts, A Dream With In A Dream, Prisonor Of Beauty, Revenged Love, So It Really Makes Me Mad Because, So Many Sad Drama's... All I Know Is There Are Way More Sad Drama's Then Drama's With Happy Endings Which, S-U-C-K-S!!!)

HOW SAD, AND MORE TRAGIC CAN IT BE??? I AM NOT EVEN JOKING, I CRIED SO MUCH TO THIS DRAMA, IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY!!! IT TOOK 3 LIFE TIMES, OVER 10,000 YEARS TO HAVE HER FIND AN EYE THAT HAD HIS SOUL IN IT, AND WAKE HONG YE WITH HER BLOOD!!! For Him To End Up Dying, Because Of Her In Both Previous Lifes, Basically Because Of That Stupid Kumor Mirror. WATER OF IMMORTALLITY MY BEHIND, WHEN HONG YE DRANK THE WATER THE 1ST TIME, IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HIM!!! And Xiao Yao Even Created A Arrow Like Thing, And Put It Though His Heart, And Killed Him, SO WHAT IMMORTALITY??? BESIDES XIAO YAO AS THE AZURE DRAGON IS WHAT CHANGED HIM, AND MADE HIM INTO A DEMON!!! THE 5,000 YEARS LATER!!!
IT TOOK 9,900 YEARS LATER FOR THEM TO FINALLY TRUELY GET MARRIED, And IT Took 3 Love Sick Idiots Whom She Only Consider Her Brothers To Mess, And Turn There Lifes Upside Down, And Sideways In One Day. She Always Loved, And Always Did Love Hong Ye Though The 3 Life Times, And Over 10,000 Years, As He Too Loved Her, And Always Did, And There Love Never Changing For Eachother.

To Be Able To Follow There Story, And See The 3 Diffrent Life Times Though The Over 10,000 Years Was A Privilege, It Was A Very Fun, And Very Crazy Emotional Roller Coster For Me, But, Even Though I Am Mad, And Pissed Off At The Ending, The Drama Was Truely Fun To Watch, Some Of The Humor In It Was To Funny. I LOVED The Scene Where It Was Xiao Yao's Birthday, And He Made Hong Ye Made Her Noodles, And She Said "This Is Best Noodle's I Ever Had... I Was Like Awwww... And Cried. My Most Favorite Is When He Made The Chinese Lion Lanter Come To Life, And It Jumpped Around On The Roof Tops, THAT LION WAS SO ADORABLE!!! Only If I Could Have My Own As A Pet. Lot's Of Other Favorite Scenes, But... You'll Just Have To Watch To See.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED HOU MINGHAO AS HONG YE BOTH AS HUMAN, AND DEMON!!!
I LOVED LOVED LOVED TAN SONGYAN AS ALL 3 CHARACTERS AZURE DRAGON, PRINCESS, AND HUMAN!!!

O.k. I Have To Comment 1st On Xiao Ming/Xiao Mu, That Cat Man Was Too Freakin Cute... I Was Kind Of Freaked Out By Him At 1st, But Eventually I Really Started Liking Him, And Thinking He Was Cute... Kind Of Clinging, And Whinny, Towards Hong Ye, But Still Adorable At The Same Time. Loved His Voice, Wiether He Him Himself Or Voice Actor, Perfect For The Character. In The 1st Episode I Saw That His Ears Would Move When He Was A Human Demon, But After That They Never Moved Again. ☹ They Should Have Made His Ears Move Thoughout The Whole Drama, Would Made Him More Unique, And Super Special. Plus Another Thing That Was Confusing Was Sometimes He Had A Blue, And Yellow Eye, And Sometimes, Brown, And Sometimes Both Yellow... I Know He Had 2 Diffrent People In Him That's Why He Had 2 Diffrent Names Xiao Ming, And Xiao Mu... It Was Strange Seeing When Hong Ye Told Xiao Ming To Call Out Xiao Mu, I'm Like Why Isn't He Going To Get Him... Him Kneeling Down On The Floor Didn't Help Either, Then When He Says Xiao Mu Doesn't Dare Come Out, I'm Like What??? I Started Understanding There Were 2 Demon People In The Cat. Which Is A Intresting Touch.

The Gaurd BingZhu, All I Gotta Say About Him, Is: "WHAT A ROMANTIC???" He Had Twists, And Turns, But Seemed Only Loyal To Pian Pian For, He Was In Love With Her, But Unfortunately Helping, And Saving People Was His Duty. His Story Turned Out To Be Something Totally Different, And A Dramatic Change Happened To Him, And It Has To Do With The 3 Love Striken Idiot. Came As A Total Shock To Me At The End, Plus He Did The Opposite Of What He Originally Wanted To Do. He Went From Being Good, To Bad Because Of Pian Pian, But I Guess I Would Say There Is A Good Reason Why. The Back To Good Again, Which Was Pretty, NO Was VERY Confusing.

All The Other Cast Members Did A Great, And Wonderful Job In The Drama From The 3 Love Striken Idiots To The All The Members In The Azure Clan, To Ever One That Lived In Demon Valley... Even The Tiny Living Little Trees, Those Things Were So Funny, And Cute. Everyone Played There Characters Perfectly, And Did A Wonderful, And Great Job.

One Last Thing I Have To Say Is... And I Will Only Say This ONCE!!! I Am So Very DISAPPOINTED!!! In One Specific Person, Character Or Demon, And That Would Be DaLi. ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS FAKE FLOWER GIRL IS... FAKE FAKE FAKE!!! Acting All Nice In The Beginning, And Then Becoming A Total Betrayer, And Total Back Stabber. HUMP... I Would Not Want A Friend Like Her At All... Fake BOTH INSIDE, AND OUT!!! Knows Nothing About What True Friendship Is. >:0/ She Was A Total Disappointment So She Was Written Last About.
