Murphy's Law of Love (2015)

If anyone is shocked that this is my first non k drama than you'll win the award for not being shocked. I feel like Twain dramas are so much more different than K Dramas that this did took a while to get into but it worth it.

Story: For a story, it centers around Murphy's laws (which I know nothing about). Honesty it was not a turn off to start with, it about relationships, and what really goes into it. This is a basic concept, but it goes into so much detail, and with 1 hr 13 min episodes their is filler in there but I liked it. The story I give a 8.

Acting/Cast: I really do not know much about Taiwan actors due to I don't watch these dramas a lot. For starters I'll start with Tang Dawson the main male lead. I liked him as an actor. He mainly known for Chinese dramas, but he has done a few Taiwan dramas. For Li Ivelyn I liked her in this, but her character did get annoying sometimes. The final name I go into is Chien Jolin the second lead. A second lead he played the character well. For acting/cast I give a 9.

Music: So the music for me it grew on me. With these dramas they have a beginning and an ending theme. I start with the opening which is fly with me. It always nice when the opening is really great because it gets you really pumped up for the episode. and the opening itself was cute that is in itself should be watched once. The ending is All I Wanted To Say. this was not as great as Fly With Me, but it was great when it was sung in one of the episodes by one of the actors (not saying who for spoilers reason). The music I give a 10.

Rewatch/Overall: For a rewatch value it a 7, I have a tendency that I'll rewatch this due to it being my first. Overall is an 8.5 with the flaws it deserving of an 8.5.

Ahaha, i have no idea what i just watched. I went on YouTube to watch the MV and it looked quite cute and interesting but then the reality is beyond what i expected haha. The story is alright, nothing special - just a typical love story of almost every drama aha. There were no areas where it stood out from other dramas - if you know whay i mean. Honestly, its one of the cringest and awkwardest drama ive watched. And the acting needs improving. You can tell theyre trying too hard. I dont know, if you guys like to watch dramas that are predictable and very simple, then go for it.
Overall i give it a 3.5.

It started okay, I was looking for something light and maybe funny so I went for it.
The plot is about two people who dealt with their heartbrokes in two different ways: she chooses to be the "love doctor" to fulfill her longings through others and he chooses to be the ceo (because there must be the word ceo...it's actually a thing in dramaland) of a divorce agency.
I wasn't really really convinced about the utility of an agency that throws parties to celebrate divorces...and I am still lol
The title (also the first bunch of episodes) can make you think the story talks about misfortune but the whole concept loses itself to favour the overused and overannoying ex-girlfriend-that-abandoned-the-male-lead-without-giving-notices-for-x-time-and-then-comes-back-to-be-clingy-and-irritating. Why in the world when you have a car accident you chose not to tell your boyfriend about it and disappear in thin air? That doesn't make any sense. A text, a letter, whatever. You also known he had complex because the mother abandoned him...did you really thought he would pause his life waiting for you? Meh.
I felt sad for the second lead because he was the only interesting character (the male lead looked like a stalker at some points).
The opening credit also disturbed me because there was too much yellow lol I love yellow and I love yellow/blue combo but the characters were yellow at a point that they looked like the simpsons lol
I actually skipped a lot near the end, too draggy and too boring to me x.x

Ok Drama

I I stared watching this Drama because of the ML . I saw him in , " Love in Time "and his acting was not bad. This drama stared out great. The FL lead was positive and smart . She is pretty too.
The ML to me in this was not really unique .His acting was good but the story make him a bit boring . I felt like he was always unsure of himself.
The chemistry between the ML & FL always seem forced and uncomfortable. I really did not feel like she ever was really in love with him. She always seems sorry for him but not love. She had better chemistry with 2nd ML.
The FL was fashionable.
Ost was ok.
Overall I rated this 2-3 star.. Not a rewatched for me.

I picked this drama simply because I did not know what to watch and wanted something light and relaxing. For that reason, this drama series was awesome. Very late back, with no evil plots and characters. I marathoned this one during the weekend and it was a pleasant watch. Story line original, typical romance with no major twists and craziness. The main plot was focused on lead couple and their relationship with some connection to past relationships. The main lead acting and role was great, and he did a great job in here. Lead actress, she was fine but for me she could have been better in her acting skills. Still, I like them both in the roles.
I would recommend this to all who would like no-stress plot, and really a relaxing watch. I would shortened the episodes to 15 max as pass the 13th things were just draggy and unnecessary, or done without much thinking just to push the plot story.
Although I don't watch many Taiwanese shows, this one was a good choice and I would recommend it if you want something light, sweet and relaxing.

The message is about fixing past relationship mistakes first before starting a new one. Unfortunately Guan Xiao Tong did not learn about this important principle before declaring herself as love guru. Neither was Ji Jia Wei whom both ex and mom left him without any clue. The main couple have to learn the hard way thru arguments and two break ups. Good acting (Danson Tang, Ivelyn Li, and Jolin Chien), although good chemistry is shown only in the last episode when they're cleared from past wounds. Dislike: Main lead repetitious glaring at female lead and female lead childish wardrobe at some scenes.

second time to watch Taiwanese drama
i liked many points in
like they could repeat wearing same clothes as in reality
they didn't focus on make-up and fashion more than normal
they wear like normal people in real life
and the plot was really good except ep. 16, 17, 18 -_- the FL raised my temper in so much
but in general
this one is really a v.good one except 2 main points bothered me much


1st
the character development for the FL was nearly zero for me
it wasn't logical at all as a Psychiatrist she had all these defects
weak, coward, stubborn, hesitating and selfish and didn't face herself with all that

i saw her selfish cause till the very end she insisted to part away from the ML instead of facing
in the contrary she prefered to separate much more easier


starting from the second half of ep. 16 it was torture seeing her insists that the defect was only from the ML
seeing the ML changed and begging her he and his friends was really teasing me so much
why they should all creating chances and begging her to get bk to him while she is the stupid one

i really respect her point of view when the ML was pushing her away and made many mistakes could end any relation
but she did the same and worse till her friend shouted at her as if she was waiting someone to tell her she is stupid, weak and selfish this was so weird

she was torturing the ML with no need really
many times i want to kick or slap her badly
i can't stand the weak character at all
and she was weak till the end

2nd
they didn't make the simulation well at the scenes when both ML & FL was faraway from each other
and i never saw such a cold dog like that one he never wags his tail at all or even being happy when he saw his owner
that made me wondering many times

except that i saw it very nice drama make ur heart jump out of ur chest many many times
it has many fluffy moments ^_^
and Danson was an amazing actor really i loved him

Underrated drama!!!

Watched this in 2018, and I finally decided to write a review for this in 2021, because i just rewatched this drama (it's my fourth time rewatching). It's time for me to give this drama a review to allow moreeee people that enjoy romance and humour to watch this drama! This drama deserves high rating. I feel like I learnt alot through this drama (especially when one is able to relate to it), the way Xiao Tong describes the Murphy's Law is so funny, as I really agreed to it. I wish there's more episodes to it though.... People who enjoys romance, comedy, a little bit of sadness (a must in romance drama), and of course handsome male and pretty female lead, MUST WATCH!!!! You'll enjoy it!! I wish there's more taiwan dramas with this kind of plot :( Although I finished watching it the fourth time, I will revisit again when I miss it.
