Hesitate to watch this cause Angelababy not my fav actress, a few times watch her just to find her acting lack something. But on the first ep I already see Ren Jia Lun act something beyond my imagination. Of course that make me have to watch this....

This story really interesting to watch. They talk about something taboo, mental illness & make us understand that this kind of illness we can't take lightly & sometimes we really need consult or just talk to someone & that's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Ok this drama talk about Liu Xia (LX), a psychological counselor & Qi Lian Shan (LS), a screenwriter. They accidentally become roommates & friend & finally partner for each other. Really interesting how their relationship grow, it's a little slow pace but how they build the friendship & trust is real & fit. I can feel Ren Jia Lun & Angelababy have good friendship, if not earlier at least in the time they shoot the drama.

What really interesting from this drama:
+ We can sometimes see Ren Jia Lun act combustible, due to him act according to script he write. We see him jump, do little karate, everything so cute that I never expected him to do...
+ We got more story than we expected. Haha... LS is script writer and during the drama he write 3 drama, so we get to see all the story he write comes to live with familiar face from all the actor in this drama. So yeah each actor also played more than 1 characters throughout the drama.
+ We got to see the real character true face from the drama LS wrote, especially the police story.

What feel a little lack:
- I don't like the ending. It feel it still leave something hanging in the air that need to be take care of before they close the curtain.
- Due to each character play several characters in the drama, I sometimes got confuse about it. Yeah i know they quite different, but still....

Overall this quite good drama to watch

The short drama about 10-15 min each ep & that's the first part of the story. The MV is about 5 min each song & you can say the continuity of the short drama. Each drama are the story of its own without having connections with each other.

Of course cause this just mv and short drama, unfortunately not all of the story is completed, some still hanging in the air waiting for anybody to continue their story. But fortunately the ending i can't say pissed me off, it just unfinished but not too cliffhanger, in the end the open ending i can still accept....

For you who want to know what each story about I gonna write a little bit introduction without spolier.
Film 1: This about a boy who fall in love with a popular girl in the school & a little bit stalk her in social media. Their relationship start when the girl need help to fix her computer & only continue online. This one story that i really hope I can watch full lenght, cause I want to know the continuity of their story.

Film 2: This about a girl that break up with her BF & try find new love via dating apps. The story tell us many bad people that we might meet in online dating, but in the end our girl find her man & start dating.

Film 3: This about friendship that start from online games to real world, even start having feeling for each other. One day the boy decided to give the girl surprise by show up unannounced & he got himself surprised about the girl condition. This also about the journey how not all online friendships is trash & unreliable.

Film 4: Hope I'm not too wrong, cause the 4th one is unsub. This about a man that fall in love with the girl that he delivered food to. And how they start having friendship from that day.

Film 5: This about a girl that comes to different city to find work & fight the loneliness it bring. I have a little problem with how the girl fight the loneliness at first, cause it can go to very wrong place. But fortunately for this girl every thing turn out to be good & she land on the beautiful side of the rainbow...

Well that's it every thing i can spoil about this drama. Hope I don't spoil too much...

The messy continue

Ok... All the hope for better plot better be thrown out of the window. Cause this drama not getting any better, it's even get messier.... Consider stop until here, but at the same time still curious about how our FL get back to her world...

I gonna spill spoiler again. If you don't want get spoiled just don't read my review then...

The messy start from the beginning this time. Instead continue about the Bamboo Rooster, they seem forget about it totally. Nothing mention about Bamboo Rooster at all in this part. And one more they seem forgetting about is the consort of our ML, she's seem missing in the big chunk of our plot...

And also in this part the plot seem like jumping from place to place with no connection between episode. Few time I must check did I watch the wrong episode or what, why the story looked not connected with previous episode...

Like the case with queen mother, ML can suddenly burst that FL's dad is the one that kill his mother. Oh and we got no more explanation after that. After queen mother case finished everything back to normal again, our couple lovey dovey again with each other... Hello don't FL curious about the death of ML's mother...??? No clue... Ugh....

More over the relationship between our ML & the emperor looked messier than what we thought at first. But we still don't know what the intention of emperor with our ML... The emperor looked like ready to sacrifice everything just to take down our ML, even his own mother. I don't know what the emperor affraid of our ML about, he has no support no military power have nothing to support him usurp the throne. Yet with all that the emperor still looked terrified that ML can overthrow him...

Oh almost forget the biggest eyebrows raiser this part have...
1. FL do surgery for queen mother & save her. And after that, supposedly big surgery that FL did herself, queen mother can miraculously stand up and walking. Wow right... Haha....
2. ML save FL from public punishment effortless again. With no soilder chase them at that time or after that. How miraculously right...

This part really give me headache.... Really want to stop watching and yet at the same time still curious about how our FL get back to her world... Hope the story not get any messier than this...

Second part

Let's continue our journey with this second part... Yeah this part a lot more dark, gore & sadistic than the first part. In this part we meet all the face card in their own game. And turn out some of them we actually already met in the first part. Yeah so just like Risa that we found out at the end of part one is someone that have important role, in here we also meet some hidden characters in the first part that turn out also has more important role...

In this part we also learn that almost every game play big physiological & mental more than just physical. And that's in my opinion that make this part more interesting than the first part. Especially the last game with Risa that we finally known her as the "Queen of Spades". That's really one big mental game that we really can't think lightly...

In this part we also learn many of the main cast past life or their life outside this world. And that's quite interesting to watch. Although yeah this part also much more talking than the first part where action in most of the time...

Aside from all the good thing this series can offer us, like ApolloDipity I also have 1 problem with the whole series. Quote ApolloDipity write: "The characters were beaten, stabbed, shot and even burned alive and still got the chance to look at the beautiful sky full of fireworks." Why it's always like this in most of superheros series, where all the main cast seem like immortal... And until the end the writer just don't ever kill the main cast... Haha...

Overall this just another drama to watch. Good enough, but still like i wrote in first part. Not too memorable for it's genre....

Different story

Quite interesting when read the summary of this movie. Really different with other cinderella or red riding hood story. In this movie they combine it with mystery.... Let's watch....

The biggest difference:
* They have 2 FL, but this is not story about GL. Of course I'm talk about cinderella & red riding hood together at 1 movie. Me of course never encounter this in any movie / drama. Except maybe that Hollywood drama, once upon the time, where they kinda combine every character in the story book....
* This is the story about mystery, where the red riding hood as the detective. & that's mean this is definitely not story about cinderella find her prince charming....
* We have 2 fairy godmother... 2 FL so that mean 2 fairy godmother.... Hohoho....
* They tell us over and over how important beauty in this world... Hoho... Usually it just common knowledge among the people not something people talk about so bluntly....
* Prince charming already had love interest before meet cinderella... Haha... This definitely the first I think, where prince charming not fall in love with cinderella...

Then the biggest surprise come in the end. You'll never ever guess who is the perpetrator in this mystery drama.... That's something so refreshing to see they so dare to make the unusual perpetrator....

Overall this really one good & refreshing take for the story we common with & make a twist with it.... I really hope we can get another story from detective red riding hood....

2nd part

OK let's continue our review...

Like I wrote in part 1. This drama divided into 2 part with a little twist in the end that make me feel need to made review about, especially since no one discuss or made review about this drama. The first part talk about introduction, about the game, the character & at the end of part 1, the connections between 1 and another.

The story start when Zhen Yu (ZY) want to find out the truth about his father incident years ago. One day he got a package that lead him to the game. In the game he meet several people that in the end become companion to go through the game & even friends in real life too.

In the game they become the detectives that need to solves the case. And every time they succeed the game they got clues about the incident years ago or where to check for the next clues. From that little by little they connect the dot.

This part talk about the connection they have with incident years ago, 15 years to be exact. So to be simple, every main cast, except Jia Xiao Fei, turn out to be the victim of incident 15 years ago. ZY's dad died in that incident, Xiao Han's (XH) dad also died & possibly the perpetrator who cause the explosions, Bei Chen's (BC) sister also died in that incident.

This part also disclose about the maker of the game, the connection between ZY's dad & XH's brother & XH's dad, the side job of ZY's dad & XH's brother & the reason they being invited & involve to the game.

This part also reveal the real perpetrator behind the incident, I'm talk about the black figure that talk to BC since part 1, & also the direct perpetrator behind the incident, yeah that's 2 different people. The direct perpetrator is like the student of the real perpetrator.

And last but not least, this part also make the relationship between ZY & XH more tense, yet grow... Tense cause you know, ZY think that XH's dad is the one cause the explosions & kill his dad. But at the same time ZY feeling for XH also grow toward romance... So yeah that conflicted feeling kinda make a mess at first....

Overall this really one good short drama with every episode filled with tension that make you want to keep watching. But unfortunately we have the little twist in the end that make this drama a little on the edge....

And like I promise I gonna talk about the twist in the 2nd part of this drama. So if you don't want to be spoiled don't read my review from here...

================================SPOILER ALERT================================








Here's the twist!!! This is still an open ending drama.... Ugh.... With the cliffhanger that make me want to hang the director too... And cause this such underrated drama, I hope we get update soon about the continuity of this drama....

Need to re-read the manga. Haha...

Quite surprising when I know they gonna make the Real Life of One Piece. Even more surprised when I know MDL put it too. Cause you know the cast not really scream Asian drama.... Haha... Watching the trailer.... Interesting... The CGI quite good. We got the good picture of Luffy stretchy body or Buggy separated body without the blur or anything weird. Haha... Especially I'm really happy how they make Luffy stretchy body, it's quite real & fun... Haha...

This first of many season is up until Luffy gather his first crew: Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp & Sanji. Next season we will gonna meet Chopper & that's also another character that I'm really curious to see the CGI... Really happy about how they close the curtain... It's a beautiful end to close this season journey

My impression about the cast quite good. They quite fit their role & compatible to the manga. Actually except for Luffy himself, something lacking. I can't really said what aspect, but something feel amiss... Haha... And actually a little bit worried too. Cause for me the age of the cast quite aged/old. Haha... Worried about the future, cause you know this still a long journey to sail with. Haha...

And you know, funnily the one group of character that I kinda missed from the manga are Usopp little friend. In the manga Usopp have 3 little followers that follow him around. And also involved with Usopp little lie about 'Pirate are coming to town'. Because this 3 little followers that will gonna continue Usopp journey in the town & also help company & entertain Kaya after Usopp leave. But I know they just try to avoid Little Kids learn to lie kinda situation. Haha...

And I know some fans already complaining & comparing this to the anime or the manga. Like how short / looked easy the fight or how they change / shorten the story to make story faster. But hey, hello.... This quite difficult Anime or Manga to make real life action for & I'm really happy with the result. So don't write argument below my review too about how complaining you are. Haha...

Really hope they can keep the good work until the end & not messed up with the whole drama. Cause you know One Piece fans can go wild.... Haha...

Can't wait for season 2. Hope we don't wait for too long...

Long time heard about this drama, but this kind of genre by far my fav nor what interest me. But since I bored & kinda get into drama slump finally decided to watch this.

Funnily kinda agreed with 3GGG: "Interesting but Unmemorable". Interesting choice of title to summarize the drama. Haha... Yeah I also feel, compared to other reviewers, my mark gonna be a little bit lower. So for you fans of the drama or anime or manga, don't be mad at us. Haha...

This part or season of the drama is starting to give introduction to everyone about who is who and sometimes also their part in the whole 'game'. The character getting to know each other but also lose someone, know the game, find partner & companion & finally found a purpose, aka how to finish the game & get out to the real world.

But even with many thing that happen in this season, I still kinda feel this lack of something that I don't know what was it..... No, I'm not say they lack of good acting or just simply bad performance. But yeah maybe also like 3GGG, J-drama sometime not fly in same wave length with me too... Haha... And if you compare this to the hunger game. I still feel the character development better in hunger game than in here,

Overall this just another drama to watch. We need to watch the other season to get the whole picture...

2 yeas ago, I watched the Chinese version with Jackie Chan & Dilireba, this year finally decided to watch the original or Japan version. Still love the concept of the story surrounding Namiya Store. How the advice help people & give warmth in their heart.

Not much a different with the story between this version & Chinese version. But somehow, I don't know what or how this version feel more warm than the Chinese version. It feels more like Mr. Namiya cover me with blanket and tell me everything gonna be OK.

And somehow I also more like the version of the youth here, Yaguchi Atsuya, Kobayashi Shota & Aso Kohei, than the Chinese version. I forget or just simply don't know what make the different to be exact. But maybe the youth here feel more bitter & how Mr. Namiya in his last letter really give the warmth in one of their heart (I forget which one. Haha...)

Oh and I really love how they give us preview or a glimpse about the 3 youth future, this is a big different, cause as I remembered Chinese version don't have this. But just correct me if I'm wrong. Overall this one of the movie that give warmth to our heart after watching...

I should have read the review first. Haha...

Have bad feeling when WeTV write this as S1, but many praise this drama in MDL. So without much thought I just jumped into the drama. This also cast one of my fav actress, Yang Zi, so i guess I still gonna watch this anyway. Haha...

To be honest when i first read the cast, quite raising my eyebrow & surprised. I can't really say I know any of the actor & when you click their info, none of the actor you could say have experienced in many drama. So yeah quite worried about how they gonna played their character here & how good this drama will be....

Yeah as you already guess this drama is open ending. I can't say cliffhanger, cause it's not. But just unfinished story that need to be tell with another season. If they're not divided this into several part we will gonna have long *ss drama to watch & recently that's what china try to avoid it. Haha... But this is one of the open ending drama that not pissed me off with the closing curtain....

As PeachBlossomGoddess already explained beautifully in her review, so I'll not gonna talk much about character in here, you can read her review to know. Probably just what i like & not about this drama

Well i gonna talk about what I like first. Cause it's safer... Haha... Gonna talk about a bit spoiler in the don't like part...
+ I really like Yang Zi here. How she played the boyish Wen Xiao Liu (XL) or the women Xiao Yao (XY). She potray them perfectly... When she become XL we can sense how lonely she actually is. And when she potray XY, we can sense how she really understood her place & part...
+ I really like Zhang Wan Yi as Xiyan Cang Xuan (CX). We get many expressions from him.... Especially when he potray CX feeling for XY.
+ I also really like Tan Jian Ci as Xiang Liu (XL) / Fangfeng Bei. We get many feeling from him. The lonely, the cruel, the love.. Oh how many expressions that we can separated one from each other.
+ The relationship between XY & CX is really beautiful. How they support & protect each other no matter what... Love the chemistry between Zhang Wan Yi & Yang Zi.
+ The mischievous grandpa, King of Xiyan. He really surprised everyone with his choice of new king....

What I don't like, sometimes for me doesn't make sense even. Haha... A lot spoiler. So if you don't want to know or get spoiler just stop read until here.








- The biggest question mark still for me how other people can be so stupid & doesn't realize the relationship between XY & Tushan Jing (TJ). Especially after what TJ did when XY almost dead.... Before that yeah ok, they hide it quite well.... But after the incident they literally have to tell other people about their feeling, I mean like TJ grandma & Chishui Feng Long (FL), they're the people that involve really can't read the situation & need to be told, really...?? It's just something that doesn't make sense. Even with CX try to cover it, secret like that usually reveal itself & people gonna talk about it...
- I don't like TJ. Haha... Maybe just like PeachBlossomGoddess wrote, Deng Wei just the wrong actor to play him. Yeah i also agreed with PeachBlossomGoddess, Deng Wei played the part of Ye Shiqi (SQ) good enough, I can sense how gentle & his love for XY, but when the time he need to switch character into TJ something feel amiss. And finally I can really accept why XY fall for SQ. Just like CX said in the few last ep, he is maybe the reason for XY to be falling really deep for SQ & that's quite make sense to me. All the thing that TJ did for XY really make the heart of XY soft & penetrate deep... Cause like XY said herself, she look for a man that make her the priority & that's exactly what TJ did for her... Haha...
- We can't really ship for XY & CX. Haha.... Actually the one person that really gonna do anything for XY is CZ. But XY never feel the same with CX, she really just think him as brother & nothing more. Really sad when I see the sad eyes in CX eyes when XY tell him that she gonna accept FL proposal...
- I don't really get the political issue & hope the second season talk about it more elaborate than this season. This season feel heavy on romance than political...
- Don't know like it or not, but how logic everyone when talk about marriage are. Like CX & his wife or Chenrong Xin Yue and her feeling for CX or how FL and XY marriage itself.... We can sense how important marriage alliance in historical times, so important that feeling must put aside....

Overall this one interesting drama to watch. Really looking forward for the continuing of this story. Hope we don't wait too long for it to be aired.

Sweet childhood romance

Long time not find such fit title. Yeah this drama really like the title 'Exclusive Fairytale', cause not everyone get really such sweet romance story. From baby until grown up, our ML & FL never really separated with each other, except for 1 year while the ML go to university, yet he still come back a few time to meet our FL. Haha...

Story about Xiao Tu (XT) & Ling Chao (LC) that already know each other since baby till grown up. How their friendship finally bloom into romance feeling for each other. The love that get a little 'blinded' by their closeness with each other, until not really realize that the feeling already start to bloom inside the heart. With classic jealousy, separation & advice from friend story, they made aware about their feeling with each other. Really cute and a little bit stupid, especially XT, feeling when she finally realize & admit to herself that she indeed fall in love with LC.

A love story that maybe all of us really dreamed about. We have childhood friend, family friend too, that accompany us from baby until grow up & finally grow into adult relationship. More over also without much hic cup & trouble with their relationship. This is one of the most relax cute youth romance drama that we really can just sit down, relax & enjoy watching.

But that's exactly why I didn't give this drama higher score. This drama, you can say, without conflict at all that actually feel a little bit repeatable & kinda predictable make me a little bit bored to watch. And if you compare the most recently drama of our FL, Zhang Miao Yi, When I Fly Towards You, I more like that one than this.. M

Although still cute enough, but I really can't bring myself to give this drama higher score. But for you who really want to just sit down, relax & enjoy watching, this is the drama for you then.

One of the best short drama

Rarely I really enjoy the short drama from begin to end & after that still re-watch it again & again. This happen to this drama. The drama that over us complete story from begin to middle to the end, with great acting & also not so min budget.

The interesting thing about this drama is indeed they only swap face, not swap body. Many drama often swap soul, which mean body & face. So with only swap face, that's mean the body remain the same with all its scar. And that's how in the end our ML recognize our FL.

This drama not only offer us full complete story, but still manage to give us a good plot twist & a really good happy ending. The plot twist that no one ever expect or even suspect from the first. But yeah when you sharp enough, maybe you can still guess it. And I really happy how they not really rush the ending due to limit duration. Everything seem fall into its place on the right track of time...

Overall this really one good short drama you can watch & enjoy fully on Youtube

Serious drama with educational tone

Watch this of course like most of us for Dilireba. Watch this at the point I'm quite bored with romance drama, so yeah this quite refreshing for me.

Sometimes quite admire and jealous with China. Like when they have problem with something, they make drama & people watch & finally get educated or at least aware with the problem or how to handle it in the end. My home country not so much, mostly just about trash soap opera that I myself not even watch. Haha.... But recent years our soap opera getting better, but still not on this level too...

Ok back to our drama. I think when China make this drama, their problem with internet fraud in China is already piling, so they make this drama to educate their people about this problem & how to best solve it, which just trust your country & law to handle the criminal.

Just like Rampie wrote: 'First off I'd like to say that this is mainly an educational anti-fraud drama. Don't expect action packed drama, sizzling romance, thriller, or any of that sort. If you're here looking for action or romance you will be disappointed. Don't bother watching if you get bored easily at lectures, Reba's character and other characters will try to lecture you in various Chinese laws and saying it out loud many times!' Yeah not much romance or action in this drama. There's limited police action & slight romance that we can enjoys. But mostly they educate us with all the laws.... But for me all this drama not really boring, cause they still alternate with action & daily life of the cast.

And the most important thing this drama in the end not only about anti-fraud drama, but there're something big net that wrap the whole things. & they keep all the net cleverly under the wrap to attract us to watch until the end.

Oh the only minus point this drama has for me: they use Chinese all the way.... I mean they do go abroad to take care the criminal, yet they still use Chinese when speak & all the people in that country know Chinese by heart & quite fluent with it. I know they don't want to offend any country regarding this. But when you go international more naturally to speak with English than with Chinese.

Overall this really good drama to bring us awareness about all the bad thing internet can bring us & about how they do the fraud in this internet era

The story about culture that we often forget + some youth energy & love. We as modern people, sometimes forget how important, deep & meaningful our traditional, sometimes mostly about our own culture, we often more proud with international or modern stuff.

This drama tell story about some student that have enthusiasm for traditional musical instrument & some of them even have enthusiasm about Chinese history itself. While some of them try to find the root for the traditional musical instrument itself.

The story start from Chen Jing (CJ) that see Wang Wen (WW), the handsome classical music student, while he's practicing on the piano and immediately falls in love with him. While WW himself condescending CJ & her traditional musical instrument, thinking that traditional musical instrument outdated. CJ hear that determine to introduce her traditional musical instrument (Yang Qin) & make WW acknowledge both herself & her Yang Qin. With that thought in her mind, she begin her journey to make people acknowledge traditional musical instrument altogether.

In her journey, she meet with unique friend that turn out really passionate about traditional musical instrument than herself. And together with them she finally start to ask herself about her root with Yang Qin itself.

In their journey to make more people know and finally feeling proud with traditional musical instrument. They encounter many condescending word or behavior that think traditional musical instrument just outdated, even their teacher not really support them. But with friend & their love & passionate for traditional musical instrument they keep in their journey.

How the end...? Well I tell you enough, not gonna spoiled the end for you too. So... In the end Music is something everyone can enjoy no matter outdated or not... ^^

Forbidden romance between Master & student

Never really understand why sometimes love between master & student is like forbidden things in the heaven realm. Is it to avoid everyone want to master because of want to fall in love or having relationship with their master...? Or just obstruct the cultivation....? Maybe we must learn Buddhism to understand this...

This drama OK for all the wrong thing I think. Haha... The good thing are the scenery or background & the music, this maybe one of the most pretty Xian Xia I've watch. For the story itself, hmmm... Enough to make me hang till the end, but not so good either. I stop caring for the story from the middle, but still curious enough to watch how everything revealed in the end.

Really like how FallingSlowly88 wrote: "Lets make 15+ episodes of misunderstandings. Lets also make every man obsessed with the main character. Lets also WITHHOLD moments of confession and understandings for the sake of derailing / padding out the story because 'it's not the time'. Lets also not have a single good female for the main character to look up to, or a male who isn't in love with her. The list goes on..."

Haha... Yeah.... This drama have everything messed up. The whole world put the blame on a little girl that have evil aura, all the man that close to her fall in love with her or at least want to protect her, all the female get jealous because of it & want to kill her & to make things more messed up.... The only friend she has & trust, in the end also using her for her own reason.... Sigh.... What a lonely world for this little girl... Haha...

Overall if you want to check this drama I'm not gonna say you can't, but in my opinion kinda such waste of time. Better check other drama that have better story to tell....
