Long time not found very enjoyable historical drama. This drama make me laugh & cry with them.

The story start from a girl named Liu Yu Ru (YR) that comes from business family, that even though she is the legitimate daughter, but her father prefer & more love her step sisters (from Concubine). So from the injustice in her home, she plans her future life where she can married to good family so she can support her mom, Ye family is her goal. But life turn upside down when she meet Gu Jiu Si (JS), a playful rich man, that never have consequence for his action including everything that come out from his mouth. As the result, YR find herself engaged to JS in the end. And their story begin.... ^^

At first of course YR try to avoid her destiny to married to JS, but in the end she accept her fate & finally she even manage to change JS. Her action of course supported by JS's parent that also want to see their son change into better man. Mean while there's a man in the shadow that ready to turn their world upside down, together with the changing politic in the capital city, that make Gu family loses their support. In this drama we see how support from family & friend, together with clever & smart decision from YR & JS make their journey full of story that we can watch together. Haha...

What I like:
+ What I really like about YR is what ever life give her, she take it, try her best & sometimes even punch life back in its face. Haha... Really like how in the end she really can stand & make the power for herself.
+ The chemistry between Bai Jing Ting & Song Yi quite good. Love to see they love each other, not to the point lovey dovey but enough for us to feel their love for each other.
+ Bai Jing Ting give us good performance for JS. We can sense that even though people see him as aloof rich man, but he is kind man & later on we can see how he grow up become smart & mature man.
+ All the friendship JS, Ye Shi An, Zhou Ye & Shen Ming is one solid friend, they willing to do their best to support their friend. We also have Fan Xuan & Zhou Gao Lang, (the emperor & his right hand man) even though in the end they kinda grow apart, but that also one lifetime friendship.
+ How love never make people stupid here. Like even though Luo Zi Shang (ZS) love YR, but he never stop or even pause his plan even for the sake of YR herself.
+ We can see the strong woman here. Like YR & Ye Yun (YY). How YY herself also turn herself around after what Wang Shan Quan did to her.

Now the minus:
- They never really give the deep background of our villain, ZS, Never at least until the last episode we finally understand why he did it & where the grudge come from. And that just one stupid misunderstanding in the end,
- The obsession of Fan Yu to become emperor never really explained. His swift in the character is the one that make my eyebrow raised the most. I know this not a story about him, so we don't get too much explanation about him. maybe if the episode longer we gonna get some explanation about this. But I mean how a boy that at one time really trust, adore JS & I can say a good kind hearted boy can change to become jealous, sentiment and all the obsession about the throne itself. Maybe the explanation lays in the last interaction between him & his father, where we can see how hurt he is that his father is more trust JS than him as his son.

Overall this really one good drama that I enjoy very much...

Finally finished with this drama. Really happy to see Wang Yu Wen pairing up with Wang Zi Qi again. Haha... Always love their chemistry. Number one advantage by paring old couple is we can see how comfort they are with each other. Hehe...

The story nothing new. Old couple separated because of misunderstanding, although this time not because silly misunderstanding. While they're separated, the woman (Min Hui (MH)) become pregnant & having child. They met 5 years later & the man (Xin Qi (XQ)) find out that he has a child. & their journey begin....

This is a story about how a man fight for the love & trust from his partner. The separation 5 years ago begin from misunderstanding & trust issue from XQ. And 5 years later this still become thorn in the flesh in their relationship. XQ has to fight to win not only trust from MH, but also his son (Min Quan Quan (QQ)). Fortunately the last problem (QQ trust & love) is easier gain than the first (MH trust issue) & later on QQ will be his companion to win MH heart...

This drama also talk about sexual harassments that woman receive in office environment. They solved it with braveness from the victims & support from all the employee / friends.

What lack from this drama for me maybe only 1. How severe XQ heart disease actually is...? We get several clue that it's really dangerous one, he collapse & all the doctor visit. But they never really tell us how severe it actually is... Yeah yeah I know, that not the important part of the story. But I just want to know. Haha...

Overall this really one good easy rom com to enjoy. No angst or irrational jealousy, just a very enjoyable watch....

ugh where have I begin....

This drama actually quite good. Sweet rom-com with no much problem or drama. But the problem with that, it's leaving us with a lot of plot holes and questionable plot....

Plot holes:
- Their story progress too fast.
OK I love when the ML & FL not playing or hiding their feeling toward the other for too long, but this is something more... Like after Su Jin Bei (JB) suddenly called Zhou Shi Wen (SW) Zhou bao Bei (baby zhao) after spend the night in his house, I feel the need to check the previous ep again to see how that exactly happen over night in case my eyes and ears just ridicule me... or like when JB angry to SW because of the incident with the director (Ethan) and suddenly she just forgive him & accept his proposal... aiyo....
- The questionable relationship between Zhou Su Ying & Xu Jia Wei. It's once more bring every fantasy of fan girl/boy come true.

OK every drama have minus and plus poin. Here the ​good part:
+ SW sometimes just too cute or naive. Like when JB angry to him again regarding the director (Ethan) incident, Xiao Yuan Song must remind him if you make mistake you must apologize...
+ Really admire JB. She knows where to stand & what is the most important thing in her life. Like when her relationship with SW exposed, she's not just quiet & agreed when she asked to hide her relationship, but instead she bravely said that SW is the one that she love.
+ How the relationship between JB and SY progress.
+ Although our main couple story progress a little bit questionable but I like how the story between Xiao Yuan Song & Wu Di. How we see an aloof man chasing the love & trust of his girl.

Overall if you can ignore the plot holes this drama has I think you'll gonna like this. I myself quite enjoy this drama, until the last problem occurred (the angry and suddenly the proposal) and then I decided to just reduce the score...

next part

Different from part 1. I really like this part quite a lot. Although I must say the pacing still so damn slow makes me really want to hit that speed button, but unfortunately I can't.

What can we learn from this part:
* Everything are given & take. Want to bring peace to the world, there are someone or some people must sacrifice for that cause, that also lead someone being sad.
* Everything must or better be talk about, like the decision that Yun He (YH) & Chang Yi (CY) made for the wedding or to close the volcano. If not there will be someone who regret or misunderstanding happen, like when Li Shu just silent about his sacrifice or when YH did in the beginning that lead to all the misunderstanding for YH & CY in the most part of their life.
* Everyone must make decisions for themselves, like Cheng Yu must make decisions to go apart from his master or like YH with her freedom.
* The most difficult decision sometimes to forgive urself & accept ur wrong doing. Like what actually happen with Ning Qing past with Ning Ruo Chu & Qing Ji.
* Last but not least. Everything already arrange by destiny. No matter how hard you try to avoid that destiny, everything will just gather where is supposed to be. Like how Lin Hao Qing try to avoid YH meet CY, in the end they still meet each other.

I still really like Kong Ming (KM) & Luo Luo (LL) couple. They are my fav couple apart form our main lead. They are so cute & adorable, the wodden KM paired with happy go lucky LL is so adorable.

And yes I really like the pairing of Dilireba & Ren Jia Lun, I can sense their chemistry. I think except Bai Lu in forever & ever, Dilireba is the most compatible partner for Ren Jia Lun. And also a little pitty with Wang Yi Fei, this is the third time I see her act as someone whose her love is not reciprocated, but fortunately she is in here not as stupid as her other character in other drama.

What I don't really like from this part is unfortunately is the ending. Where is our time stamp, how long it's pass since YH go to that volcano until she wakes up again? Why YH can have tail? But upon all the hanging being made, I still really like the ending too... It just perfect to close the curtain.

So when I think about this drama as a whole, I think I'll give this drama 7.5 rating in total.

Finally finished....!!!

Yeah!!! Finally finished....!!! So many times I have to pause this drama and watch another in between, But in the end I have to admit this is one of beautiful production. And yes the story not for all of us. I tbink this is my first drama that I've watch with 1.5 speed for almost all the episode due to the slow duration this drama has.

What I like:
+ the beautiful story yet frustrating relationship between Fang Hai Shi (HS) & Fang Jian Ming (JM). But since One & Only I subconsciously make the comparison between the 2 drama about Master & their student. LOL :p.
+ The chemistry between Yang Mi & William Chan. I can't say top notch or what, but yeah I still can see their chemistry
+ The beautiful friendship & trust between JM & the emperor. Yeah be an emperor is a heavy burden & really not easy to find someone u can truly trust with all ur heart
+ The story between the emperor & Tilan and also Zhuo Ying & Zhe Liu. Really one bitter first sweet then relationship.
+ The smart & cunning of JM & emperor when they have to face the enemy.

What I don't like:
The time frame is very long.... Yeah I know every time stamp is important & I also don't know how to cut it. But I don't know why I really think the time frame for this really long & a little bit unbearable...

Overall: This still one good drama to watch. But no, I'll not gonna re-watch this

Quite excited to see this drama because of Wang An Yu. But turn out this drama quite boring for me, or maybe just my taste in drama changing again into can't just satisfied with mediocre drama like this.

Yes this drama quite sweet & tell the story of normal couple, with their problem, personal or relationship. Like Zhu Le Le (LL) and Qu Zhi (QZ), where at first LL can't quite honest with her own feeling. At first I quite like their duration & how Shen Zheng Yi (ZY) & Shao Bei Sheng (BS) develop their own feeling for each other. But later I feel this drama quite boring, with the unnecessarily stretch. Yes I understand this is also sport drama, where I quite happy to see how ZY develop her own progress in speed skating.

Maybe just like I said in the beginning. My taste quite changing after watching so many drama.... Haha... If we want to compare eye to eye, this and skate into love, in my opinion skate is far more interesting to watch, from the struggling in speed skating to the love and relationship between Li Yu Bing & Tang Xue.

There is one big plot hole that they forget completely. They forget about the bet that Shen Zheng Yi and Shao Bei Sheng made in the first place, to fulfill 1 wishes. If the writter don't forget they don't need to make the relationship contract between ZY & BS.

Oh and at this age I also notice 1 big thing that I don't like from c-drama lately. The statement that when they are in a relationship, when the women angry the man better coax her until she's not angry again. OK if that the man fault, of course he must apologize and coax her until she's not angry again, but if the case the woman fault, like when LL & QZ break up, the first respond that BS give to QZ is can't he just tolerate & coax her. Hey you don't know yet whose fault is that, why must the man tolerate & coax the woman.... It's not fair & really give a bad influence for Young woman that watch the drama.

But with every sport drama like this, I quite adore the actress that can act or exercises like the real sportman/woman, because if that me I absolutely can't do all the hardship of exercises like Song Zu Er do with this drama. So extra star for all the actor/ess who done it...

In this drama what I like best, except the struggle of every actor/ess with the exercise, is Wang An Yu. Really funny how he sometimes became that spoiled with ZY. I also like the intimate, pampered interaction between ZY & BS is very youthful. Last but not least the friendship of Zhu Feng girl, how at the end even Luo Xiao Yi learn about cooperation in the group, how to trust your partner in ice.

Overall this just one ordinary youth drama to spend your days with. Nothing too special. Just the song quite good.

First time I really really like the acting of Hu Yi Tian. Here his character is very different then his usual character. I think this is the first time i see that curling naughty eyes in Hu Yi Tian eyes.

But for the story itself quite boring actually. The cases is quite complicated, but somehow toward the ending the more bored I became. The romance between Bai You Ning & Lu Yao help me hang on to the drama. But I really like the twist in the plot in the end.

Really like the interaction between Bai You Ning & Lu Yao. Their feelings build slowly through admiration & friendship. Admire the loyalty of Qiao Chu Sheng to Bai Qi Li,. Like the friendship of our trio.

Overall this is one good detective drama that quite have everything actually, not only about the cases. They have a little bit politic, romance, friendship & of course good plot that still can surprise us in the end.

One of the classic

This is one of the very classic Korean drama. I watched this when it's still aired on my national TV. If you want to watch this drama better prepare tissue box beside you & try to pull out a new one not the almost run out tissue box :P. Because I guarantee you'll gonna cry your eyes out. :P.

This maybe one of the saddest drama I've watch my entire life. With every actress & actor played their part beautifully. But also just like wonjana wrote in his/her review. I also can't ever re-watch this drama again. This drama is just toooooooo sadddddd for me to re-watch.

Love every aspect of this drama, really people said sometimes classic is the best is very true with this drama.

why...? why...?

OMG so many why... :(. I'll gonna write about big reveal, if you don't want to know just skip read my review then... For who you want to watch this you have to watch from season 1, if not you will gonna be a little bit confuse with the story.

Ok. Let's talk about the why I mean.
1. Why they must restart the story again... Yeah it's good in some way, they more confirm their feeling toward each other. And always as new bride not bad :p.
2. Why they not just continue the story about yu er being the bead host.
3. They make another open ending... OMG... How much season to be exact they want to make until they satisficed.…?! I already quite bored with this season actually.

But this season of course have they plus point:
+ They still so funny, especially in the beginning.
+ The chemistry between Liang Jie & Xing Zhao Lin still one of the best on screen. So many kisses in this season, almost every episode there are their kissing scene. But that kiss makes us who watch want to scream don't kiss!!! Really hopping they can be real partner in real life. :D
+ The bad guy every season must be change. So we not be bored with the same bad guy over and over and over.
+ They can't cast Richards Wang & Tiffany Zhong as Mo Yi Huai & Qu Pan Er they change it completely into different person, not just pretend it's the same person :)
+ This season differences really interesting. They exchange the role of man & woman in that world. In this season we can see Yu Hao act a little bit as woman, a little bit coward.
+ Apart form Richards Wang & Tiffany Zhong they have the same cast & production team from season 1 until this season.
+ The fate of Mo Yan Chen not as bad as Mo Yi Huai. The most pity in all the season is really the eldest son of MO Family
+They bring me a lot memories of the previous season, with many scene from previous season show up in the drama & the song still the same with added some more.

Overall I quite enjoy this season, they make me cry & laugh. But as I mention above, quite bored with it restart the story over and over again. Really hoping this season about the continue from season 2. If they make another season, if that season not about yu er fight as the bead host, I don't think I'll gonna watch this.

Watched this because of Sandra Ma & many people said this drama is good.

Sometimes i really wonder, why Sandra Ma voice is so soft, not because she playing cute, but more like someone who is not confidence with herself, here is no exception.

After watched this i'm thinking yeah how important for doctor to receive emergencies training.

Funny thing, the moment i said to myself: "this drama so unusual to have no love rival" that moment the annoying love rival show up :d. I really like how they handled that annoying woman ^_^.

In here we have very funny male character. Yeah sometimes soldier is stupid & rigid man. It just like in their base only 1 man quite understand women :P. We have:
° Xing Ke Lei (KL) is one of the most clumsy male lead I've watched so far, so funny when he try to pursue Mi Ka (MK). But it's also so unreal when they already in relationship KL just automatically became romantic. But i really like how KL & MK be honest to each other & learn to grow in the relationship together.
° Shu Wen Bo who is also so stupid. He is definitely military man who is so straight forward even in love. So funny to see how Ruan Qing Xia (QX) pursue him.

By the way somehow i don't know why i think the chemistry between Sandra Ma and Bai Jing Ting is not that good, not bad but i feel like there is something, like some tension, between them. I more like other couple, they are so funny in their own way, and the chemistry between the cast is better than our main lead.

Overall i quite enjoy this drama. But i don't think this is as good as people talk about. So no, i'll not gonna re-watch this drama.

Finally finished

Finally i've finished watch this drama. I don't know why but it's really a long way to finished watch this drama, where i pause several times in the middle to watch other drama. I can't say this drama boring or the cast ugly :p or their chemisty bad. I just don't know why the reason i hit that pause button.

Disagree with ChineseDramaFan, in my opinion Yu Menglong played as Jing Ci (JC) is quite good. JC is one of the most calm character in the drama, not cold but calm ^_^. It's like nothing can agitate him. That's why Feng Mian Wan (MW) sometime confuse with his feeling & maybe we sometimes frustated with him being no expression like ChineseDramaFan wrote.

In this drama we can find 3 type of love. Love like JC & MW, the one where we can do anything for our loves one. Love like Mu Bei Yan, where at the end he just happy if MW is happy. Love like Yuan Yu Luo or MW mom, where we are stupidly sacrifice our feeling for our love one.

In this drama, we also can see how stupid prejudice is. Aunt Zhi Xia have really bad prejudice toward MW, so that's why she just always instanly jump to conclusion if about MW, expecially if that's about bad think.

Overall this is a good drama where we can understand love sometimes really doesn't need reason, like MW who fell in love again with JC even though she already lost her memory. But is this the drama you have to put on your list...? I don't think so. Re-watch...? Of course not, one times is enough.

Watched this because see the scene where Fang Yi Shao (YS) cooking. Bored with romance drama lets watch cooking drama ^_^

This drama quite funny & interesting. Never expected this drama also about solving mystery.... But it's a good surprise.

This stories also tell us how the good for nothing men become became someone when there is a women (or anyone) push him & believe him from behind and also when that man find someone he want to protect.

This drama also about chinese tradition & food. Who can cook maybe if you follow her instruction in this drama you can replicate the cooking :D. This drama a little remind me of the old drama where the chef is man & he also cook for the emperor, i forget the title (maybe king of food 1998 drama but i'm not sure because this drama have not summary what so ever), this drama also make me drolling with the food :)

In the review there is someone write about low budget drama. For me this is not low budget, they just put all the budget into food ^_^. I don't think preparing the food in this drama is cheap :)

YS is so lucky, at that era she can find in-laws that not too care about family name or line what so ever. And Fang Yao ( FY) really impudent woman. She first reject Shen Yong (SY) but in the end she want SY for herself.... No reason woman. Finally she get her punishment when she plotting against YS & SY.

What i like from this show:
- SY is really love & respect YS. He can really wait for YS to be ready before do anything with her.
- They give us how to cooked the food. Even though only little but for who want to, i think they can learn some.
- The emperor really smart & cunning man.
- How brave & a little disrespectful SY when he face the emperor when SY think emperor put YS in danger.

What funny from this show:
- SY and his dad so afraid with their wife ^_^. Especially with the case where they must go to brothel & their wives didn't give their permission. So funny...
- SY who don't wanna have son because afraid his son will be like him & his mom whose really want grandson...
- When SY and YS come back from the capital no one pay attention to SY only YS...

What weird or lack:
- the most weirdest from this show is when YS cooking no one help her, in the palace and especially in SY house. It's like in that house, no staff kitchen or cook that work in that house before YS come, the kitchen so empty... in the palace also why no one help YS when she cooked for the banquet. So much work only the 'princess' do it herself. Makes no sense right...
- They make FY and her family become antagonist with half-hearted. It's like they need antagonist character but also don't want to make them too cunning or evil.
- Both SY teacher just disappear from the drama.

Overall:
Funny & enjoyable drama. But for me this is not re-watch material. Final warning: Don't watch this with empty stomach or watch out for your drolling....

The story really interesting. A young girl who bring back 3 emperor from 3 different dynasty back to present time. Usually when there is time travelling like this, they stay in the past not come to the future. But this drama opposite, bring the past person to live in the future, very interesting right... Also the one got to pick is usually the man not the woman, here the woman got 3 man to choose. ^_^

The story of 3 kind of different man. Qin Shang (QS) very arogant, Mu Rong Yu (MRY) is very manipulative and adaptable, Guo Yan (GY) is smart and cunning. Every man bring their own characteristic and finally their own way to protect Luo Xi (LX). Everytime she bring man back, they smarter than before ^_^

Flaw:
> Sometimes the producer seems not thinking about economy factor of the Role. Here the main role is just an college student, but here she take care 2 man. How can she buy meal, buy clothes for them and go to hospital a few times (how to pay the bill)... :D. When the 3rd man arrived, 2 other man already got job so yeah maybe they can help with the money, never really explained here :p
> how she use google or baidu to search info for the emperor and their country while in the past...

Lack: The drama is too short... Only 30 min every episode. Feel like just watch it's already ending ^_^

Re-watch: don't think so. Interesting drama, but not enough to make me want to re-watch

I watch this because seeing the scene where Xing Er (XE) join the contest for Yu Wen Yue (YWY) bedchamber maid. Feel Intrigue i search for the title & find out turn out it main lead is Zanilia Zhao. Makes me really really want to watch this.

Jeana's writing really really spot on. I can't write more beautiful than her. Yes I also like every one who watch this drama really frustrated with the cliffhanger ending in this drama. Hear from marcus sim @youtube there is no news also about the continue of this drama due to law suit. :(

The story actually really interesting. How a really low level slave can really grow forward. Stand to watch till the end actually just because wondering who XE will gonna choose in the end Yan Xun (YX) or YWY. :(

Like jeana's writing i also don't know who to cheer YX or YWY for to be together with XE. My feeling is more toward YWY than YX but that's just because YWY is more handsome than YX & I think the new character & emotion of YX is too strong for XE.

Shawn Dou really play YX perfectly. We really can feel the changing in his character from easy going to really hurtful person.

Like Jeana's writng i also really hate Yuan Chun. She is so selfish and childish. Li Qin really play her beautifully.

Really hate the king also. What the hell with that crazy decision and allegation...

Re-watch: Maybe someday before i watch the season 2. Just to make me remember what, how & who ;). But whole season.... I don't think so

This one of a few very interesting story about reincarnation. And they watch over the quality of the story until the end. But still this also need a little bit more explanation too in the end....

This tell story about 2 couple, Korn-Intouch & Dean-Pharm. Korn-Intouch are the preliminary or first couple & Dean-Pharm are the following or second couple. Dean-Pharm are the incarnation of Korn-Intouch.

Korn-Intouch suicide because their relationship wasn't approved by their parents. Korn whose can't take the pressure anymore killed himself first & Intouch following him afterwards cause he just can't live without Korn. And afterwards, their parents tied a red thread in their body, cause legend said it can connect & make them find each other in their next life.

Now Dean & Pharm. Pharm often had sad dreams that wake him with a wet face. When Pharm first saw Dean, he felt sad & had familiar feeling toward him, it's like finding someone he's been waiting for. And turn out Dean himself also has spent his life searching for someone whose face he can not remember. And after met Pharm, Dean also having dream and wake up with a wet face. When the story rolled we get more & more clear view about Dean-Pharm as the incarnation of Korn-Intouch.

How the story evolved? What the tangled things Dean-Pharm need to untangled about Korn-Intouch past life...? How Dean-Pharm relationship progress...? It's all unraveled quite beautifully in this drama. Just leaving me with some questions that they don't quite bothered to explain, or just me being not understand....

What I like:
+ Fluke Natouch Siripongthon is amazing to play Pharm. Especially toward the end when all the crucial memory of Intouch really took over & haunted Pharm.
+ The amazing connection between Korn-Intouch & Dean-Pharm. All the surprise in the end. It just amazing & very interesting...
+ I really like the characteristics of Dean & Pharm. Pharm with his calmness, never really get angry over his friends teasing & Dean with his firmness. They never really get jealous over something stupid. But in my opinion, at the same time this also their shortfall, cause I think sometimes their friend tease too much, but Dean nor Pharm show any irritation / emotion.

Overall this really one good story about the amazing thing about reincarnation or our past lives. For my question I think I'll put in the SPOILER ALERT below.

Below is SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
My question:
* What exactly make Intouch so traumatized...? I meman yeah maybe because of their family pressure that make Korn take his own life. But I mean that's just one stupid reason to begin with.
* Why Korn feel the need to apologize to Intouch. Cause he killed himself first and leave Intouch behind...? Nah.... That's also doesn’t make sense.
* One fast flip attitude from Korn's dad. After Korn & Intouch death we can see that their dads really change their attitude completely, like flip 180°. And for me that's not make sense. No one change their attitude that fast, even because of the regrets.
