Awesome chemistry
I enjoyed every minute of it. Such an awesome chemistry between the leads. I laughed with them, been sad with them, worried with them, so it's been a very good value for watching it.This time they didn't spoil it midway, but i feel it would be better without last 2 episodes, even though all vanilla ending.
Janice Wu and Vin Zhang made it worth from start till the end. I like how they were jealous of each other and how they sorted it out. I like they will be there for each other mostly of the times. The FL is nice, bubbly, smart and love her outfits, she is not whinning, baby voice or cuteness of a 6 year old. The ML i fall for him again, his low voice, his kisses and overall looking makes me become a fan and looking forward for his new projects.
It's not a new story or something you haven't seen, especially like me where i am heavy watcher of all Chinese, Korean, Thailand, Spain, Italian, Mexican, Turkish (you name it) for the last 24 years :), but is light warm and sweet. This is what i need after a working day - relax.
I will not write details about the plot, but i feel so good after watching it.

Special place in my heart
There is a lot of hype about this series and i really expected something different from it. The story is just about two people who fall in love and grow their relationship.Nothing new yes, but… is so warm this one and gorgeous that after finishing it i started to re-watch those heart-melting moments. The scene at the airport - oh i really cried with her, the scene when she is explaining (again at the airport) that she came for him and not for on-line boyfriend. There are more beautiful moments that you just enjoy just watching it.
Zhao Lusi love most of her dramas and i really saw through the years her grow up, she has great chemistry with all her partners.
Chen Zhe Yuan i liked him from Secrets in the Lattice and Mr Bad. He has very good face expressions.
This drama has a special place in my heart because of beautiful feelings of hope, confidence, trust, courage, persistence, and love.

Annoying and good to have fastforward button
This will be short review and is maybe just me.I started with some kind of goodwill and wanted to have a fluffy romance watch. I fast forwarded 80% of it. Nothing new, the actress is really annoying, or her character. In adult world nobody is doing business like that. Take the client to the hotel to find your friend cheating boyfriend, you kidding right? Cheap lines - like this is branded clothes, and do you know how much it cost? ... OMG. Ex boyfriend coming and doing business with you (with FL company), give me a break... He loves her so much, but by the end he sleeps in another woman house? Is this Thai lakorn? If a man gets so drunk and doesn't know how and where he got after, AVOID such love. He didn't cheat, but the feeling he was dragged by another woman in her house, left me puzzled and super annoyed. So this is my review full of frustration. Sorry lovers of this drama.

Emotional Strong Acting
Very emotional series, with strong acting. Beautiful Visual Effects, graphics and story is interesting. Kept me engaged every second of it and didn't forward at all. Loved how is presented the story and how the characters been played. It's a gem for this year except the ending. Why on earth doing 40 episodes cannot be present 5 minutes of beautiful ending and just leave it to watchers imagination. I would love to see their ending and not what i think it could be. The Starry Love another beautiful one with the same ending. If you watch a movie of 2 hours than is ok to have any ending, but investing 40 hours of your life in a masterpiece and ending like this, not left with a good taste. Of course this is down to writer, production team..., but stil.I will come back and re-watch it but probably till ep. 36 :).

Worth watching without last 2 episodes
This is a school drama, very interesting and slow pace, usual problems that youth experience. Dreams, mocks, exams, we can do everything attitude and ultimate goal to get into university. The actors are really nice, not stupid FL and playing very well. Relationships and friendships are fun, lots of things to learn, the dialogues are quite good. Parents children relationships and situations through teenage years which are common in our life are described and showed well, some toxic ones, some good ones. Is more of the friendship drama than love story.The story overall is written very good, but the last too episodes is like a different thing which made the ending cliche. She was wrong a little bit, but if he was in her place, probably will do the same thing for her. He is gone away, came back after 4 years and in the last 10 minutes everything was forgotten. The excuse was so cheap that made me to write this review and mark this drama from 9 to 7. In 4 years the misunderstanding he had is just absolutely stupid. He found all her friends quickly after 4 years and during those freaking years he couldn't ask them the question about her boyfriend???? Really in the era of high technology, where she has updates on whatever social media. He blocked her, but not viceversa. Also the thing that he came back, and guess what he needs the house decorated with her company of course. Shouldn't he come first and talk to her like adults, explain the studpid excuse and not playing this kind of cliche games. I know this is a drama, but i had to say my rant, as i invested a lot of time in time, as i quite liked it.

Nice start but left with so many questions
This drama has lots of promotion there and it was an impossible mission not to watch it. Love the cast, i think all the roles suited very well and it was filmed nicely.The idea of it is quite good, but the story became so bland after the discovery of the guilty characters. "It was a mistake to get the truck to hit a car", or "the brake pedal didn't work", if the purpose of accident was to just give a scary, why the brake pedal didn't work. Everyone get their punishment so light and simple. The ML worked in hotel, i haven't seen any work related scene in a hotel, just in the office flipping up some folders (for me this is where a drama goes down, as needs involvement in the work related area). The ML is reach but always takes a taxi, he has a secretary, but that doesn't mean that he needs to be the driver too. He discovered all the flaws of father's mistress without any action (maybe he already had everything when he was in Germany, but still i would love to see the detective side of it). Another thing at the beginning his father throws something and hits him hard, but at the end it shows that the father was protecting him. Not linked together at all, is this really fatherly love? There is no chemistry between leads, the only moment i felt it was when they were dancing on the pierce by the sea, other than that i didn't feel it all, even both actors are very good and gorgeous.
All there are many other misshapes, but i don't want to spoil for the people who want to watch it.
Is an ok drama, but is over rated.

The most beautiful Historical Series
Finished this beautiful series.The designer loves the lilac /purple/mint shades, these colours are everywhere (my favourite colours) and is a lot of it. Really i do like the CG, seems they invested a lot of time in it, very precise and fine attention to detail, which truly brings the elements on the screen to life, also the costumes are beautiful, headpieces…
From Ep 1-13, i enjoyed more the Void Realm than Heavenly Realm, more fun and catchy than the main leads. I like Oliver Chen in mostly of his roles, but i thought what a waste a good actor in the 13 episodes. From ep 14 it starts to get so much better for him, a very nice turn point.
I love the hilarious scenes, which is rare in this genre. The music is spot on too.
The first several episodes were not as a start of something beyond the expectations, but after you get in and cannot leave it. It has lots of emotions and the comedy side is really good. The story is big plus, the characters all developed really well. Lots of romance, wonderful music as i mentioned above. A new discovery for me was actor Luke Chen. The main actress is not very likeable from the start, but you get used to her. Oliver Chen didn't disappoint, take my words back :). The story is a Happy Ending, but with just showing the beautiful flowers reborn and not actual them. With all the romance through out, i think is a good ending.
I totally recommend this and i will re-watch again after sometime.

This brough a lot of "light" while watching!
It does bring so much light and prettiness. When i first read the title, i thought is a fantasy drama and just avoided so many times, but i saw some reviews and i gave it a go, no regrets at all.I enjoyed it from the start till the end. The story is mostly about firefighters and the job of a journalist. It comes more as a propaganda to become a firefighter and save the country, which in Chinese dramas is a norm.
Pros: The chemistry between main leads is outstanding. The female lead i haven't seen her before, even she has some good works, but played the role so naturally. It does have some overdoing it, but you can feel all the emotions she showed us. Very strong and gets what she wants, not cringy voices.
William Chan at his 37 looks great and played well his character too. There is no exes, but is a love triangle. The second male lead i just felt for him so much. It did make him a little bit obsessive, but i don't think he overdid it, he loved her through all the drama. When you love someone, you cannot change your feelings in one day, you cannot stop loving even when told not to do so, you just love until it fades away at some point.
Fires and accidents were filmed pretty well. All the female characters are beautiful. Fire brigade guys all handsome. Dogs cute and funny, but not too much screen of them.
Another thing that i loved the unusual osts, just loved all of them.
And also the unusual proposal. I didn't see it before in a drama, it was really lovely.
Cons. I think they spent more time in the hospital than in the fire brigade. At some point for a couple of episodes i was bored, it picks up at the end with emotions, but still i think this could be shorter and not just filled with staying in the hospital so many times and for such a long period. Dubbing is another thing that i don't like, and it spoiled some moments as it did not synchronize.
Too much of propaganda, how soldiers, special forces, firefighters need to forget about everything and just save the country, is good, but still life is short, you need to live for yourself too (maybe i am wrong, but this is just my opinion).
Fav quotes: "You are the light in my life" and "I will be with you to rebuild your world".

Started ok, Finished Wonderful
The high score attracted to look into it. Than i saw Bailu and Zhang Ling He and i was convinced to proceed further :). At the beginning i was thinking why is so high rated, yes they play well, yes is filmed nicely, yes to the environment, yes to the music, but i couldn't get that emotions to keep me engaged. Is a lot of Palace dialogues and plans on revenge from different sides of the story. From ep 12 it started to move a little bit, emotions between Ning and Zhang Zhe won me to continue. I felt that love from both sides, the sadness, the helpless, the powerless, the sacrifice - played beautifully.All story goes well, I can't say that it was something really new, but the way story goes along and how is transmitted from flashbacks and back is executed gorgeously.
The last 10 episodes made me stay hooked wholly. The first kiss is absolutely dashing, ohh boy Xie Wei - this is when i said, is all worth watching it - don't get me wrong i am not a pervert :)), but sometimes in the dramas you need this to won the scene. It was rough, craving, longing for it and i could feel his desperation, the strong desire for love and caring.
Overall is a beautiful masterpiece, absolutely all characters played well, the bad ones, the good ones, the passer by's. I loved the many locations and places they used, the decorations, the nature, this gives richness to the drama. A little bit of abuse of camera to go into eyes and see the others, or the faded colours, it didn't spoil too much, but overly done is not good either.
The only thing i didn't like is the sister story - the prince didn't tell her that she is not the chosen one, yes they show at the end as a happy family, but it got me very frustrated (i know on those time that was something ordinary, but i still don't like it :)).
Enjoy!!!

Engaging and interesting
Loved:I started to watch it without any expectations when 26 episodes were aired, usually i try not to start an ongoing as if is full of nonsense, clichés and cringe i will drop. This one i waited excitingly for other episodes. Was very interesting, work related involvement, passion towards tradition, continuity, effort and progression. Many things close to reality and how the business is done with hard development. Filmed very well, adult behaviours and nice locations. The actors are well suited for their roles and good chemistry. I love Elaine Zhong and i believed her character completely. The music is beautiful and placed where was needed to convert it into strong emotions. Chemistry between leads is very delightful, they are both strong personalities and giving in is a big issue.
Disliked:
Some characters i couldn't see their proper fit in the story. Some characters disappeared without explanation. Some of the things happen and than contradictory situations to previous ones. Not too much romance. The ending was rushed with the fillers that didn't bring it up, but paced it down unfortunately.
My wish:
Main leads to have more time together and the ending to be more fluffy and sweet, more of candy cotton was needed here, but overall i liked it and probably at some point i can re-watch some parts of it.

Beautiful Acting, but the story...
Writing a review once you are still under the emotions of anger, sadness and Wow factor is not a very good idea, but i couldn't resist - i cannot move forward to another one :).My ears are still burning, the left eye still twitching and adrenaline hit the highest level :).
I can say is a very beautiful drama, filmed extremely well and the actors did an amazing job (their expressions, feelings, i could feel wholeheartedly- i don't usually cry, but i cried 3 times with this drama). The settings, the costumes, the characters - fantastic chemistry, the music all good.
The story is written well too, but I would preferred if it was involved a little bit of more respect to love (to the woman). The 5th Prince making his dreams come true and step on everyone during almost every single episode, coming in the end and saying " I've done it, i don't have to pretend anymore, i love you" - what was in his mind? I know he is a complex character living in a treacherous world, but he was very very cruel (loved / hated him a lot), as most of the cruelty went to "apparently the woman he loved". Humiliating her, living with another woman for so many years, abuse, violence, rape (as he took her without concent)... Apart from the beginning he didn't give her one happy day. Yes amnesia was the problem, but even so, how could he use her all the time. I am sad because of the ending, i wish the 9th Princess to live happy without him, somewhere in the Western Liang and not dye for the ungrateful men in her life.
It's really worth watching, but prepare lots of tissues, frustration, tragedy, hate, love and a heartbreak.

What a wonderful Love Story
Even though i don't like fantastic and time travel stories, this one won me completely.Is so heart-warming and touching. It has lots of sad moments, but i felt really good while watching it through the tears. I believed in characters completely. Is a school drama, but is more than that.
The actors are not very famous, not very beautiful, but for me they were absolutely wonderful, such a gorgeous chemistry between them. I loved the main lead innocence, how he was so shy and bold at the same time, his charisma and how devoted was he from start till the end, how he loved the FL without questions or asking something back.
Story i would say Is more of a dark romance, it has its tragedy, hopes, beautiful love and friendship. Is very light but at the same time is so deep.
The writer pull it great, it keeps you engaged and you don't want to skip it at all. Al the episodes bring in strong emotions.
The ending is to our imagination, i would loved to see his face, but in my mind i will think they had a happy ending. Saying that don't put it off, is really beautiful.
I will recommend for watching.

Love Matching???
What a waste of good actress.How can revenge be 3 nights of sex with your ex. Propose to the one you love and after a few minutes you doing it with your ex in the bathroom? Doing it for revenge, you kidding me? Giving him another chance? Are you for real? Is there a woman who will give another chance for such a man? I am really sorry for those who give chances for jerks.
I don't have anything against filming, actors, production, but the story itself. I love this actress and seen so many lakorns with her, but did she took this role i don't get it. Is a cheap lakorn and the story it couldn't be worse than this.

Could be a good one
It started so well with ones of my fav actors, but as usual from ep 15 (this is where the Chinese dramas have a horrible turn point) it's the cliché of all clichés.I really love Olivia Wang and Jin Han. They begin a mature relationship quickly, too quickly for a drama, but i loved it. It goes well with their troubles and how they achieve results, work towards their goals.
But i really don't understand the writer, why you make this main leads so outstanding in the beginning, finished i don't know what prestigious school, degrees, masters, rich... and than the only thing that they can think is to have a business marriage. What is the point of studying, having experience, being great at the beginning? You just can get married straight away. I really am frustrated. Don't get me wrong, i really love dramas and i do understand everyone writes whatever they want and produce it how they want, but with such a great cast, to make such a cheap one, very disappointed.

Wish it could be more romance
Loved the acting, the music and how was filmed. The story is nice, nothing new, but dragging at some points. I wish it could be more story to the characters love. It was developed slowly, but not to much time to it. The writer wanted to show that they fall naturally, but it could be more romance involved and show less of political fights over and over again. Beautiful osts, beautiful graphics. I do love Zhao Lu Si, she is growing with every drama, which is good thing. Yang Yang - i saw him here more natural, than his usual. I really believed the tears of both of them in the last episodes, naturally heartmelting.Cet avis était-il utile?
