I would this watch again!
Each case they worked on wasnt draggy at all. Each episode was a new case and they are very interesting. They touched on alot of different aspects of the law and I loved that.I understand the age difference between the leads and didnt matter to me if they were intimate in the series but I understand some viewers would not have liked to see that.
I would watch again.

Great potential but failed execution
I WANTED to like this drama as easy comfort romances are definitely my vibe. But it just didn't click with me - the first few episodes were nice and it could have got better from there, but it dropped off into being boring and pointless. For being 'only' 14 episodes which is nothing for a Chinese drama, it felt like it dragged and I was just looking forward to finishing it.Disappointing because I thought the leads were well suited and it started out quite good. It was just lacking that spark and creativity in comparison to other dramas of this type.

Too much fast and not so much sotry
I have watched the seasoned 2 and it was going too much fast and there are not many dates of contestants to know each other and also there are also lingring feelings of each ex.does production team has no other place for the contestants to share the house. coz every time it starts at hotel and ey the en it goes somewhere else.
each ex is trying to avoid each other and there are multiple triangle of relationship for finding new or go with ex.
Hope next season get some new things and keep interesting for viewing.

great drama
This drama was honestly such a great historical drama. The story was intense from start to finish, and I loved how it showed both the political tension and the emotional side of war. The acting was really strong, and the characters felt realistic,especially in the way they balanced duty, loyalty, and personal struggles.The battles were well done and the pacing kept things interesting without feeling rushed. I also liked how it focused on strategy and leadership, not just fighting, which made it feel deeper and more meaningful.
Definitely one of the best historical dramas I’ve ever seen, and seen recently

The story of Arisu and Usagi continues…
After finally returning to the real world, the two got married and began living a quiet, peaceful life—completely forgetting their time in Alice Town.
But that peace doesn’t last long. One day, Usagi mysteriously disappears, drawn back into Alice Town under the influence of Ryuji, a researcher obsessed with uncovering the secrets of the afterlife. Determined to bring her back, Arisu follows her back into Alice Town.
As Arisu re-enters Alice Town, he confronts a sequence of life-threatening games. When they progress through the first game, his memory of his time there also returns.
This season introduces the Joker cards, and the games become even more brutal and mentally taxing. The players face new deadly challenges, complex rules, and moral dilemmas that push them to their limits.
This season they introduce Joker cards & the games itself become more brutal and mentally taxing. The players face new deadly games, more complex rules, and moral dilemmas.
So Arisu is once more forced to strategize not just for survival, but for rescue and sacrifice.
Now the questions:
? Will Arisu finally find and reunite with Usagi…
? Will they make it out of Alice Town alive—again
And the biggest question of all…
? Who is the Joker?
That's pretty much the story without giving spoilers. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ As usual the game itself quite intriguing to say the least. The effects not bad too...
What I don't like:
- Well this season feels unnecessary. But maybe for some people this is a need for closure.
- I kinda hope I can see the character from season 1 & 2 to re-join the game in this season. But instead they introduced new member
- Don't like the ending. The way Netflix messed this up… Like Squids Game or Money Heist
Overall I'm just happy I can put this as the title in my Alphabet challenge. Haha…

This drama is one of the few adaptations that managed to surpass the original novel.
Well done! The original novel is actually so-so.I’m not a fan of Chen Zheyuan and Li Qin but this show made me love them very much! Amazing actors. I hope they will have more dramas together with plenty of action!
Acting and casting is SO ON POINT. I especially loved the fight scenes of Fu Yixiao at the beginning, Fu Yixiao and Xiao Weiran, then Feng Suige’s fight with Xia Jingshi. Feng Suige’s jump with that sword was top-notch amazing haha!
Except for the occasional excessive twirling (LOLS) and repetitive OST, I loved every bit of it. But the ending is too short. Would love to see more of it.
Glad Ning Fei and Ling Xueying is still the endgame like in the novel.
I also would like to know whatever happened to Ling Feng and An Gu! Both of them on drugs when they left LOLOL
I wished they’ve shown Feng Chengyang going into seclusion, Feng Xiyang managing the court, and some scenes where the three siblings were reunited.
How I wish Xia Jingyan’s child survived.. ? I cried when he started begging for Feng Xiyang to be spared. He really liked Xiyang, can see it all the time. Good actor!
NOW I WANT MORE DRAMA FROM CHEN ZHE YUAN AND LI QIN!

Best kdrama of 2025
It felt so comfortable to watch. I loved every minute of the series. There was nothing draggy or boring about it, there was something always interesting happening for every scene. The story, actors, plot were really good. Sad to see it only had 12 episodes but everything was entertaining from start to finish.Was this review helpful to you?
Best of 2025 (to me at least haha)
I LOVE ENEMIES TO LOVERS! Feng Suige (ML) and Fu Yixiao (FL) were actually enemies at first, actually trying to kill each other, actually hating each other, but working together because they were both being targeted by (possibly) a similar enemy. Then they got to know each other, each other's pain, trauma, fears, each others strengths despite all that. They fell in love. Their relationship was so healthy, with so much trust and protection between them.I LOVED Fu Yixiao, she's so strong, intelligent, beautiful, loyal and more, plus she looks super 帅 ("handsome") in all her fighting scenes. I like how she remained a strong female lead through and through (or ven stronger), instead of becoming weak beside ML. I LOVED Feng Suige, he has been through so much yet remained a good first prince all the way and finally found love. Of course, loved his loyal soldiers who were one of the rare few good ones all the way. Oh, and Lord Ling, he's so funny haha...
This drama had so many betrayals, so many "villians" but honestly I feel for most of them because they had reasons, they all need therapy. (My favourite villain was probably Xia JIngshi idk why lol, and even though Feng Xiyand was not a villain, for most of the drama I disliked her the most JUST MY OPINION THO).
Only downside was that even though I like the ending scenes, it felt kind of rushed and I wished it followed the novel a bit more and shared more about thier life together after, but that's just my perference. BUT IM BIASED SO ITS A 10 ANYWAYS HEHE

Expressionless, did they even try?
This drama has an okay, seen before slightly rushed story... Incorporating Playboy boy friend, revenge, misunderstanding, evil mother (in law), evil coworker etc. Giving us some classics like splashing coffee and forced time apart.The female lead has an expressionless charm, making me wonder what she is hiding about 80% of her screen time, part of me is impressed another just feels numb, as the kissing/implied sex scenes completely lack any sign of sparks. There really is no chemistry involved what so ever and her expressions are as dry as the dessert....
The male leads have their charms and nice smiles, but over all just fall flat.
That said it is an easy binge ant there is some kind of charm to watching something where you keep wondering if this lack of expression i part of the story or just due to bad direction/acting.

Revenge meets Romance
Let’s get one thing straight: the chemistry between the main leads? Chef’s kiss. 🔥 The male lead’s acting was rock solid consistent, intense, and refreshingly single-minded. He wanted revenge, and nothing (not even love) derailed him. Unlike other revenge dramas where the protagonist suddenly forgets their life goals for romance, he stayed true to his arc and his character development was genuinely satisfying.Now, the story? It dragged. A lot. He’s a powerhouse who could have wiped out all the villains in an afternoon, yet somehow we spent episodes tiptoeing through filler.
The second lead’s romance? Meh. No chemistry, no buildup ,basically a non-event.
And the second female lead… wow. She did everything short of arson to the female lead and never faced any real consequences. Her “saving grace” was an amnesia plot, which felt like a lazy plot device rather than redemption.
In short, When Destiny Brings the Demon is a perfect mix of humor, heart, and a little bit of hellfire. It’s for readers who like their romances complicated, their logic solid, and their laughter genuine.

A Must Watch..
This has to be one of the best stories so far in 2025. If i could go higher than a 10 i would. As usual i don't put spoilers on my reviews. Im not gonna base my review on the actors/actresses either. This review is based on the show as a whole. The storyline with all its twists and turns kept me entertained and throwing my phone. The main/supporting characters' stories on this show were imo executed beautifully. Some shows kinda fall short when it comes to making the audience feel and understand these characters. ML/FL chemistry was nice and liked that it was a more mature romance. The relationship between the ML and his siblings was a breath of fresh air.. no rivalry.. no schemes. It was heartwarming to watch. The villians were just wow.. real villians to the core. Speaking of.. to me the relationship/story between the sister and the emperor was the highlight for me.. the way the actors and director pulled that side story off was just incredible! The arc of those characters omg they did a brilliant job! Enough of my rambling! Would i recommend? YES 500%!! Go watch it right now!! Trust me u wont regret it. Chef's kiss!! 💜Was this review helpful to you?

Not your typical BL, this one has set the standards
I was waiting for this bl since the promo last year, thought it was gonna be like ‘Red White and Royal Blue’ thai version but it’s completely different from that. I feel like this is the first bl which had shown a deep political story with a slight romance. This show solely focused on the story, character development and the plot rather than unlimited of cringe or spicy content. the only lack is, many people couldn’t access this bl to watch because they didn’t release this masterpiece internationally. I hope later more people find this.From the ep 1-8, there are some scenes were slow but its somehow important to the storyline. The last episode made me think that this bl deserves a sequel and there are more to discover and explore. AGAIN TO SAY, THIS IS A MASTERPIECE.

Love in the clouds
Probably the best chinese drama ive watch. Acting is flawless and the visuals are absolutely on point. Hou minghao eye acting is on point. That man is such a precious person and when you start watching it i know you will be amazing by his beauty! Lu Yuxiao acting is also so majestic and herself too. I never knew about her but now shes my favourite chinese actress. This show is 100/10 and would definitely recommend. I am literally losing my minds cause the episodes are releasing each day and the waiting is so long but its so exciting to feel that you will have new episodes tomorrow!Was this review helpful to you?

too much going on
okay so honestly it wasn't really that bad but it felt very dragged, like maybe 12 episodes would've been fine. but 16? it was kind of losing me by the 10th or 11th episode ngl. i lowkey hate that she had a disability and we just skipped over it per say. we only really saw her be in a wheel chair for 1 episode (please disregard my bad memory, i did not in fact pick this drama up again til now) like in later episodes we saw that she got hit by a vehicle but never put into a wheel chair again? idk if i'm really focusing on the right thing but it didn't really make any sense because that how she initially she paralyzed. also it high key made me upset when she just kept pushing and pushing him away. like yeah we know you want to protect him or whatever but she just kept falling more in love with him each time without realizing it was fate doing its magic. home girl over here yapping about some "oh yeah were not meant for each other" how oblivious can u be.. (its the woke part of me speaking bc what?) that guy who was supposed to be the bad guy actually made me so mad because how was he not caught in less than like 8 episodes.. justice for my man kim tae seong bc he deserved so much better, like where is his girl at mane (yall are looking at her right here) my man byeon woo-seok did his job tho (looking fine as ever) he was so adorbs. FL did not deserve any of the boys that chased after her because they were both good guys and loved her a lot. ngl i couldn't choose between sun jae and tae seong.. also i love that sun jae would try to act nonchalant but would turn around to smile, that was definitely one of the best things i've seen. honestly other than that it was very gut wrenching (i sobbed during maybe all of the episodes). would i recommend it? yes but no, if u like them going back and forth then okay. the actors did what they needed to do but the story was kind of insufferable with the back and forth between everything and it does get tiring to watch as a viewer, but am i a pro drama enthusiast? absolutely not. was it worth the hype? no not really but i did enjoy having my heart torn apart and put back together.Was this review helpful to you?
Light hearted romantic
Only for Love is an enjoyable drama with a solid mix of romance and career-focused storytelling. Bai Lu and Dylan Wang have good chemistry, and their evolving relationship feels natural, though sometimes a bit rushed. The setting adds an interesting layer, but some plotlines feel predictable or underdeveloped. The pacing is generally smooth, with a few slower episodes in the middle. Visually, it’s stylish. While it doesn't break new ground, it offers a feel-good, light romantic experience.Was this review helpful to you?
