A love story about determined people. Hehe.... Let me explained...

Xu Lai (XL) meet jin Shi Chuan (SC) 10 years ago in the earthquake, SC save XL from the rumble & that make XL fall for him & want to make SC become her partner (boyfriend/husband). 10 years apart doesn't shake XL feeling for SC & when she meet him again she just wanna get closer & get to know SC. And the love journey begin....

What I like:
+ What a cute William Chan... Haha... Although he is a stiff & at the beginning have no expression, or you could say typical cold ML. But in here we can see he's dancing.... OMG I can't believe my eyes when I see him and all the other fireman dance for the kindergarten Kids, some kind of work day on the kindergarten I think... And after that we can stil see him & all other fireman dancing through the drama. Haha...
+ The good chemistry between William Chan & Zhang Ruo Nan. They're just so cute together
+ team work & friendship in the fire department.... Love to see the friendship in the group of fireman
+ The good second couple, Lu Fang Qi & Zang Qiu. Although feels a little bit rushed & pushed. But I still like this couple...

What minus:
- SC kinda crazy man that willing to do anything for his teammate. I mean I know he kinda traumatized when his captain died in the fire in the attempt to save him, and since then he determined to save anyone from his team. But when you want to take the dead body of your teammate from the fire building, that still very much blazing with fire & the leader even say you can't enter, that just stupidity scream out loud.
- As usual with c-drama, this drama also feel a little bit stretched. I don't think they need 36 ep long to wrap the whole drama. Because of that they kinda push everything, important or not, into the show. Like the fire accident with SC saving his teammate, I don't think that necessary need to be in the drama.

Overall this good, funny & loving drama that u can watch

Another sweet romance start from high school. Like most high school romance, this drama not filled with many angst & love rival or love triangle. This drama tell story about love, friendship & study.

This drama tell a story of a Young girl named Su Zai Zai (ZZ) that meet a boy name Zhang Lu Ràng (RR), she falls in love with this quite boy & try to get close to this boy & succeed. For the whole high school they become friend, and as soon as they graduate they become couple.

In the same time this drama of course not only tell the story about ZZ & RR, but also about their 3 other friend, Gu Ran (GR), Guan Fang (GF) & Jiang Jia (JJ). While building a friendship together, this drama also tells each of their story, so we have a little background of each character. Start from GR, that even though has rich parent but their so busy that often left GR alone & in the end make him actually a lonely guy. Then we have GF, that turn out used to a bit rascal that like to fight. And finally we have our ML (RR), that although people see him as excellent student, turn out he usually compared to his brother & that makes him a little bit not confident & inferior. But of course with heart to heart talk with RR parent & his brother, RR parent finally learn not to do that anymore. Unfortunately the deep story only about the boys. For JJ & ZZ themselves, they don't talk much. We just know these 2 girl grow up in happy home, unlike the boys.

I really like how ZZ deal with 2 b*tch that want to ruin her relationship with ZZ. 1 in the high school & 1 in the university. She doesn't deal it with being childish or sulking but with quite mature. And I also really like how they doing the everyday vlog to capture their life....

The funny thing about this drama is for me 1 thing. ZZ & RR have been study buddy since grade 1, but teacher seem have much bigger complain when they reach grade 2. So funny really how 1 year have such big impact in teacher mind. I mean, since grade 1 ZZ & RR already used to study alone just by themselves, no supervision from adult or anyone else. And when they reach grade 2, suddenly ZZ & RR study alone is a bigger problem. Hey if they want to have relationship or want to do 'funny' stuff they don't need to wait for grade 2...!

Sometimes watching this kind of Youth drama, make me really envy them & feel want to get back to my high school year to change a few things....

Overall this one of the good youth drama of this year...

Watch this for my ALPHABET DRAMA / MOVIE CHALLENGE. Turn out much better than what I expected.

Yoo Seol OK (OK) & Ha Wan Seung (WS) is quite a unique duo. Where OK charm us with her unique traits & also attract WS attention. Of course, as a police officer, at first WS don't trust ordinary citizen like OK. But upon some case OK prove can help him with her attention to small detail, WS more and more trust her. Until the end, WS even like need OK help.

Who I don't like in here is OK's in law family. Start from her missing husband, her sister in law & for better or worse her mother in law. For me OK husband [Kim Ho Cheol (HC)] kind of bastard & selfish guy, he seem shame to show OK as her wife outside, even some people don't know that he is a married man. And also the restrictions that HC gave OK about her involvement with police force, that in the end turn out for his own good than for OK herself.

Overall this one good detective drama, with cases but also with a little bit humour...

The story of the ex

What happen if you have unfinished love story with your ex...? Haha.... I think when I conclude this drama in 1 sentence this what will come out...The title should be The story of the ex. Haha...

This drama tells a story about unfinished love story with the ex, and many years after he try to reconnect, disturb & entering her life again. Xia Tian (XT) has steady relationship with her man, Guan Xin (GX) when Xu Ze Hao (ZH) try to enter her life again. And with ZH keep disturbing XT & GX life over & over again, XT & GX relationship start to take a blow. And finally the bomb is exploded & make a messed every where. Haha...

That's why we should leave the history behind. And with this drama we can see how destructive the ex / past will be if we keep leaving them hanging around.

Overall this one drama fill with a lot of angst that we can imagine in our life.

One of the good short drama, but the ending... I wish for a few min more to make this drama has the best ending possible...

This short drama has almost complete story, This has beginning, middle and almost the perfect ending.... Unfortunately this drama close the curtain with something hanging in the air. Yeah I know they give us preview about what the ending, but if only the actual ending where Zhang Yu Bo really meet Xiao Jiu, it's gonna be perfect...

This drama begin with Xiao Ju (XJ) keep dreaming about a boy that have accident. She doesn't know who is this boy, or why she keep dreaming about him. But one day through her professor she finally know this boy name, which Zhang Yu Bo (YB) the boy who was missing. One day XJ found a book in the library, a book about YB & one day by magic she entering the book, while her consciousness inside the book her body is sleeping in real life.

In the book XJ finally meet YB & try her way to be as close as possible to YB, cause she think that she sent to the book world to save YB from missing. She manage to be a 'crazy' girl that try to persue YB. But one day she accidentally pull back to real world. And while she come back to real life, the XJ in the book world back to herself, turn out the personality of the XJ in the book world & XJ in real life is very contradictory. And that finally what make YB pay attention to XJ.

At first YB though XJ has double personality, but the more YB become closer to real life XJ, the more attract he is with the real life XJ. And from there on they feeling keep growing to each other, and of course naturally they finally become couple. & YB since then also believe the word that real life XJ said that she come from the future.

The story become more interesting with real life XJ friend that also come along with her to the book world, Lian Jie (LJ). And his story is more interesting you can say... Because the book LJ is turn out to be a little bit sissy & quite hilarious when they transform from one to each other. & to make thing more complicate of course LJ also has to find the love in the book world.

See the story is quite unique & interested. But unfortunately the ending is kinda incomplete.... Well I write pretty much spoiler, I don't want to spoiler a little more to messed the whole experience for you. So I gonna stop writing here. Just watch by yourself to know the ending that I mean. Or you can message me to know it...

Only You...

Played by Janice Wu & Vin Zhang of course I've to watch this one...

The drama told about 1 man, Xu Yan Shi (YS), that like 1 woman, Xiang Yuan (XY), in his life. But life played them good & separated them again & again until life decided enough time to make them together now. Haha...

YS & XY have 4 times encounter: kindergarten, high school, university & workplace. But when in high school & university, YS's dad succeed screw up their chance & finally they have their chance in the workplace.

The story begin in Velin company, the branch of Donghe group that in the verge of collapse, cause bad management, corruption & nepotism deep in the management. XY is happy go lucky girl from rich family that at first don't care about her family business. XY grandpa, chairman of Donghe group, send XY undercover to manage this branch. In there XY finally group up from happy go lucky girl to the girl that finally understand how to manage business & care enough about her family business in the end.

What I like:
+ First of all really happy to finally have another director that using their brain when cast, to separate the cast of adult time & high school time... Sometimes I must sigh when I see actor/ess on end off their 20s or early 30s play as high school student. I know sometimes that relate to the budget etc. & the bonus point, they even cast the actor/ess according to their respective age in the drama...
+ The chemistry between Janice Wu & Vin Zhang is good.... They match each other perfectly. It feel really like old friend that finally get together. Janice & Vin Zhang looked like having fun while filming this drama.
+ The develop of YS & XY relationship is make sense. YS a few times make XY angry & XY not immediately forgive him, all need process....
+ YS is quite jealousy boyfriend, but his jealousy several time quite make sense. But I really like when he never restrict XY's life & really respect her, especially when he said that XY should not change herself just cause him.
+ The story of Gao Leng (GL) & Chen Shu (CS) also make sense. They love each other, but GL indeed need to grow up to match CS. And I kinda like how GL just not give up, but he still care & try to chase CS again.
+ The cute & adorable XY's grandpa. Especially when YS's friend try to messed his mind about his evaluation toward YS. Is just so funny...
+ Janice is quite adorable played XY, but still nothing too new about her acting...

Overall this really one good drama this year...

A drama that make me tired

Really hard to put a word about this drama. But really I just feel tired by watching the FL, Cha Eun Jae (EJ) in here. Oh so much I want to slap that girl...

This drama has 2 stupid man, 1 stupid woman & 1 selfish woman. The 3 idiots do everything in the name of love... The nominee are:
1. The biggest idiot in the dramaland Jung Hyun Sung (HS). He's been rejected over & over & over by EJ. But still can't give her up. Oh he tried, for 6 years to be separated from EJ & yet still can't forget her. After 6 years the first thing he did, he help her with her family debt that make EJ & her family kinda in debt with him. He also buy house to be lived by him & EJ family, yeah way to more torture himself.
2. Ji Soo Yun. At first I still have respect for this girl. I hope she is not the stupid girl that do stupid thing in the name of love. But boy oh boy. With the more episode rolling this girl has less and less respect from me. She did unspeakable stupid things in the name of love. Ugh really tired with this kind of girl.
3. Han Yi Joon (YJ). Well he is ML & yeah he did all the stupid thing that ML did in the dramaland . & sometimes we just romanticize it. But if you want to think him as not ML & see how EJ actually kinda disgrace him. Yeah he kinda stupid in a way....

Ok now about our FL
EJ is one of the most selfish woman in the drama world. Usually with this type of girl we have a best friend that can help us 'slap' her, but here no she has no such friend, & that's make me wanna more slap her. Her trait make us hard to sympathies with her. She is one we used to called doormat girl, always try to make everyone not hurt & by that she instead makes everyone hurt.

EJ & her family has debt to HS. And she's well aware of HS feeling toward her. So instead just give space upfront she just be kind & feeling debt & simply torturing HS feeling in the end. Cause she's the girl that can't say no & give a d*mn space.

Not only that she's also torturing YJ, by once again not giving a d*mn clarity about everything & still choose to be near him... At first she like play with both YJ & HS feeling back & forward. She knows who she choose, but her attitude never represent it & what visible is she play with both men feeling. Ugh... It's even make me tired just to describe her.

What make me hang till the end only one. I just want to see how the story between EJ-HS-YJ come out in the end...

How crazy are you willing to do for 'love'?

Finally finished watch this after delay it for quite sometimes. Thinking & thinking to watch or not because of Chen Yu Qi. For me this girl is no FL material yet. I love her character in ashes, but as long as she play the lead role / FL, almost feel lack of something. Sorry for her fans. But at the same time I want to watch Dylan Wang after Love Between Fairy and Devil, so yeah finally I decided to watch this & hang till the end because of Dylan & Peter Ho.

How crazy are you willing to do for 'love'? Here we have Murong Gao Gong (GG) that willing to do anything just to make sure Bu Yin Lou (YL) be his, even with the lack of cooperative & willingness from YL herself. GG is an unfavored princes that have opportunities to take the throne, due to all his relative is dead & he is as the closest heir. GG himself has very week personality & when he takes the throne he became quite insecure. Unfortunately he choose the wrong way & pick power to control everyone that don't obey him.

At the same time we have Xiao Duo (XD), head eunuch & have all the power to control the military & court. He has one purpose to find his brother killer & take revenge. With time he encounter YL & fall in love with her. In the end they found out the one killed XD's brother is related to YL & he decided to just give up the revenge in the name of love. And last he finally give every thing that he has just to be with YL....

OK. Now our girl, Bu Yin Lou (YL). She is one free spirited girl that love freedom, she is smart & witty. She is falling in love with XD, the man that up & down try to do everything for her & give his best to give her freedom. Unfortunately we got Chen Yu Qi as YL, she can't portray YL perfectly. Although I quite like her in the end, where she like crazy & the talk with GG is done well. But maybe if someone else be YL, it's gonna be better...

What I love:
+ The chemistry between Dylan Wang & Chen Yu Qi not as bad as I imagine. Quite like to see them together.
+ Peter Ho give amazing performance as GG. We can see how insecure he is, how he crave love from YL, and every little feeling that GG has we can feel it.
+ The adorable Tong Yun & Cao Chun Ang

Overall this drama pulled by Dylan Wang & Peter Ho performance.

Finally finished watch this. Reluctant to watch at first, but upon hearing many positive thing about this drama finally succumb to it & decided to watch.

This drama tell story about Song San Chuan (SC), that even though a talented badminton athlete but have stuck in the place cause by his trauma. And here come Liang You An (YA) that see the potential in SC. SC fall in love at the first sight with YA & always try to please SC, even try to break trough his own trauma for the sake of YA. But trouble still come that make SC had to give up badminton & later on once again for the sake of YA he move to tennis. One prodigy he is... One athlete that move field in his 20s & still success. Haha...

What I like from this drama:
+ What a cute couple Leo Wu & Zhou Yu Tong are. Never expected they can be this cute playing couple. The really positive thing from this couple, we don't see they try to reverse role them. Until the end SC & YA still act according to their age, YA not become childish & clingy, & SC not becoming too mature.
+ SC is really really one stubborn & persistent athlete. Sometimes even put too much force unto himself. But from him we can see the picture of the athlete, how they train & persistent in their own field.
+ Jiang Jiao Jiao (JJ) & Liang Tao (LT) are also a cute couple. Really love how they develop feeling for each other & support each other in the end.
+ Give up is not the end. I mean like when SC decided to drop badminton & later on switch to tennis & Chen Zhe who is in the end admit that he is not talented & choose to drop tennis & choose to inherit his family business. Sometime give up is not embarrassing & certainly not the end of the world.
+ Persistent always bear fruit. Except the sample from SC, we also get to see JJ that didn't get support from his dad at first, but how he still persistent & firm with his decision & also support from his mom & LT, he finally can show his dad that his decision to continue tennis is not wrong.

What I don't too like:
- A little bit too beautiful. I mean like SC that successful change his field is like a dream come true.

Overall this drama quite good, not regret watching this. But at the same time nothing too good about this that I think gonna leave a trail in my mind.

UGHHHH....

I know this about Unrequited Love, but still not hoping to have these kinda trail in my heart & mind.

WARNING!!! I'll gonna write some spoiler, so if you don't wanna know just skip reading my review then.








This movie about many UNFINISHED unrequited Love. Just like bitchyleila wrote: 'Overall this movie tells you that unrequited love or one sided love affairs in real life never has a happy ending'. Yeah I must agree, many of our unrequited Love still remain unfinished until the end. But my biggest turn off is the story here not necessary need to be unfinished. Many of the story can have finished story to tell us, but they decided to close it with open ending. That's what pissed me off.

From all the story here, the finished one is only the 4th story and maybe the 1st story, the other is UNFINISHED story. Really hope that this is a drama instead just movie. So we can have longer duration to tell the story until it finished. Or maybe have less story to tell, so they can use the duration to at least finished the story...

This drama start good, middle ok, but dive down in the end. One drama that start the drama with 1 plot, but through out the series like loosing it's grip to original story & just grab anything to hold the story. Ok. Let me explained

The story begin with Shen Yi Yi (YY) that replace her friend, Shen Die Yi (DY), as the bride, with the hidden purpose of looking for DY real identity. The marriage itself between DY & Tang Jiu Hua (JH) not really typical arrange marriage, they have feeling for each other & because YY don't want to take DY place in JH family, she tried to escape several times & failed. After arrived at JH house, JH said he already register YY to Shangyi Guan (academy) & that they also can do the investigation regard DY identity in the academy. So to delay the marriage between YY & JH, YY agreed to enroll to the academy. In the academy she found friend & companion & their story begin. With time role, they found out each of their companion has story & secret to tell.

From the summary I wrote above do you found the problem to begin with...? Haha...
1. They seems completely forgot that YY want to uncover the identity of DY in the first place. Through out the story they really rarely discuss about this. YY never really seriously investigate about the pendant that DY leave behind. She just seems to enjoy her day at the academy & all the problem that raise within the academy itself. Yeah some of you can argue that it's hard to find because the secret is in the palace, etc... But if that the problem they can short the story, so they don't really need to tell the story of her academy days & just jump to graduation & her station in the palace, etc...
2. The student (or you can say YY & her companion) really involve in the politic issue & many strange case which should not be for consumption of student. Haha...

But at the same time ironically, the days in the academy is really fit with the title, The Chang'an Youth. Yeah so this drama really about the young people in Chang'an.

Overall just like Apple Eye, me too also lost interest midway the series. And in the end I just don't know wish this drama to be longer so it can be more clear or not, cause I feel if this longer I might drop this

Continuing the story

Ok the story continue...

This part of the story, FL (Yian Yi Yi (YY)) start to acknowledge she has a feeling for our ML (Qin Yu(QY)). But at the same time she also finally found the supposed FL (Su Qian Xue) that she decided for QY. And at the same time QY really gave out signal about his love for our YY & start chase her.

That's when the conflict of heart begin. YY that hope to steer the story back to its original storyline & at the same time she's already fall for QY.

And the story continue again in part 3. I'm really happy I watch this binge & don't need to wait for it while it's aired... Haha...

Together is better

Break from my drama, decided to just looked randomly at YouTube. Find this movie, since fit with the Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge so I just jump watch this. Haha...

So basically the story its about Sakamichi Onoda (SO) who is an otaku, loves animation and a loner. One day Imaizumi Shunsuke (IS) saw SO riding his 'mom' bike (bike with little basket at the front) in the steep incline, that most people kinda afraid to ride the bike there, but SO can easily ride his bike there. IS became curious with SO & asked him to compete with him in that steep incline with the bet to join each other intended club (SO with his anime club & IS with bicycle racing club). Short story of course SO is losing. For obvious reason, SO with his 'mom' bike and IS with ricing bike & more over all the training IS had before.

But that competition make SO blood 'boiled' with excitement & he decided to join bicycle racing club too. What excitement do you ask? For someone who is lonely and have no friend like SO, the excitement is about someone to compete / join activity together, the excitement of finding friend & opponent in the same field together.

In the club, they do the test to join the club & find out that turn out SO has talent for bicycle racing. They begin training for the competition & SO enjoy every moment of it. While in the same time we also found out that IS has fear & trauma that he has to overcome.

I really like how they show us that in the end bicycle racing sport turn out not single person racing or problem. But turn out this about group & how to support each other in the group. How we need to just be patient to wait for our turn to shine and not selfish.

Overall this really good movie to teach us about team & support each other. But as Mluth wrote: "if you were looking for some romance this movie might not be for you."

Quite annoying dubbing

Chen Xing Xu & Landy Li of course I have to watch this... Haha.... Not expect much, but turn out I quite enjoy the drama.

Usual story where the switched bride happen, the 'naughty' girl go to heaven realm & the 'good' girl go to evil realm. but of course turn out they both find the perfect match in each realm. The story gonna be bored with good girl go to heaven realm, but with the naughty one, the story become quite interesting....

As usual, our girl (Ye Tan (YT)) make a lot of trouble in heaven realm. But with that way, she seems to make her footprint & impression to our ML. And the same also happen with Qing Kui (QK) in the evil realm, where she also attract Chao Feng (CF) & Wu Dai (WD) with her charm & gentleness. As we usually said, opposite attract. Xuan Shang (XS) in heaven never really see such capriciousness like YT do, while CF & WD never really get such gentleness in evil realm.

The story become really interested after XS back to heaven realm. YT & XS become close & very romantic. In the same time I still grind my teeth to see the behavior of heaven emperor. Why he seems so bothered to see how close YT & XS are...? Sometimes with XIan XIa drama like this I have this big question: Why they really like to picture heaven as hypocrite, where they seem to do the right thing, but turn out they actually is so messed up & hiding something that dark even make the evil proud...?

From all that happen in this drama one thing that really bothered me is.... How fake & so dubbed Xuan Shang voice. It's like they cover the mike with sock or cloth and then start speaking. Haha....

Overall this drama actually nothing new, but still really enjoyable to watch.

weird relationship

long time quite curious with this drama, finally decided to watch it. Turn out quite good, but in my opinion, all the relationship begin with the weird tone.

What I like:
+ Feng Ping (FP) is one of interesting woman in dramaworld. She's not damsel in distress that need to be saved by man. She has her own power & part in the world
+ FP & Tang Jia Nan (JN) relationship is quite mature given that JN sometimes quite childish.
+ A Jiu is really one funny character. He's really chill out character, it's like whatever JN did to him seems not be bothered him

What I don't too like:
- Another snake in the drama. The moment Lu Qiao (LQ) out, I can sense how snake this person is. The interesting part is when we see the terified face of JN when he see LQ. And what make me annoyed why JN like can't reject LQ at first.
- There is no clarity about the character JN. Is he actually just rich boy that like to play around or he actually have hidden character. We can see several time he actually like building something in his home. But what that's for...? Is it just for him to play around or he just want to create something....?
- Who the heck actually FP....? We get some hidden clue that his girl actually rich woman or at least have rich family. But we never really know who the heck is this girl. Why Fang Jun Hao (JH) & his dad seems to be so afraid of her brother. Who is he, how powerful is he...? We only get a glimpse of him in the end :(
- The moment JN know about FP power seems unimportant. They don't even bother to write full scene about this. We just later know that JN already know about FP power.
- The rush ending. I really want the meeting between both JN & FL family be longer & meaningful instead just the glimpse like this.

Overall this one good drama, without much angst, but at the same time much question mark too....

Now last before I close my review. Just skip read next part if you don't want to get spoiler. Now let me explain the weird relationship I mention above...









1. JN & FP - Of course from the first their relationship is one of the weirdest among pretend relationships. But it become weirder after JN remember. They just jump into relationship and with all the lovey dovey that couple do.... Yeah I know, there're hidden feeling that don't need to translate into Word or action, cause what JN & FP do for each other already tell us what we need to know, and we just happy when they finally do what couple normally do. But in my opinion it just weird way to begin relationships for real.
2. Qiu Tian & JH - This even weirder, but I just can't explain it. And JH is one stupid man. Even after he decided to finally confess, he still chicken out in the end & just let the confess hanging in the air.
3. An Yue Sheng (YS) & Tang Ming Xuan (MX) - I never really understand what is the genuine feeling of YS toward MX. Is it from the beginning YS actually already like MX, but he just need to sort his feeling for FP first, or what...? It just in 1 ep YS still feel bothered by MX action, but the other ep turn out no he's not really bothered by her & kinda have feeling for her.
