Qiong Yao always succeed makes me cry with her drama. Romance in the Rain is maybe one of her best drama played. This drama change a lot from the book. I usually manage to read the book until finished after i watch the drama in my tv country. But for this drama, the book itself can't intrigue my interest to read until finished.

The main change is because Du Fei (DF) factor. In the book no character named DF and maybe that's why the book itself quite boring. And book the ending for Ru Ping (RP) is really really sad.

Cast: For me every cast play they part perfectly & they fit to their role. Because i watched this after i watched Princess Pearl, i quite happy with the different kind of role played by Vicki Zhao and Ruby Lin ^_^

Very much in love with the soundtrack. Maybe my most loved soundtrack at their time.

Re-watch: Love to re-watch it. Although every time i re-watch it i must prepare box of tissue next to me :p. Re-watch it right now still not feel this is outdated ^_^.

Watched this of course because this is Korean version of Meteor Garden. Not too loved this Korean version, for me Korean version is a little bit too much. Yeah their actor is more handsome than the japan and Chinese version. But still everything a little bit too much.

I read somewhere at one point that compare main actress outfit. They say Taiwan version outfit so ordinary and repeatable, japan mostly wear uniform, but Korea outfit is so good. Yeah Geum Jan Di suppose to be just ordinary girl from ordinary maybe you can say poor family, so the outfit not suppose too good.

For you who loved watch K-drama i think this one of the classic that you have to watch. Looking for the best of this drama, just search for the Japan version. Much better.

Watched the drama and the movie version of this. There is several things better in the movie but there is also several things better in the drama.

What i love most in this drama than the movie version is Xiao Xiao (XX) relationship with Lu Yuan Feng (LYF). Really cute and adorable. Really glad they give other couple relationship and connection too, not only focus with He Yi Chen (HYC) and Zhao Mo Sheng (ZMS).

What i think better in the drama is the ending He Yi Mei (HYM) felling toward HYC. She give herself a closure, even can get a new relationship ^.^

What i don't really like is actually they not really give us clue how the cheerful ZMS in her youth became so gloomy/calm (depend on how you feel her, for me is more like gloomy than calm) in the future. And what really happen with ZMS dad is also not really give too much explanation, why ZMS dad sent her to America, for me there is not really clear explanation.

HYC feeling toward ZMS too not been given so much explanation. It's like jumpling to conclusion where one minute HYC still mad at ZMS but the other minute he already forgive and forget. Yeah i know HYC is like that in person, but still feel to fast forward.

Cast: Because i don't read the book for me ZMS is better portrait by Tiffany Tang in the drama version. HYC also better portrait by Wallace Chung in the drama version. XX and LYF also perfect cast.

Re-watch: I don't think so... Maybe several episode or scene only

Love him love his voice? Yes please...

Finally been able to sit & watch this drama... Oh My God I love love love this... Long time not falling this down & deep with any drama.... I don’t want this to end....

Before this never realized how soothing Tan Jian Ci voice.... That voice really can make me dream to the cloud nine... Haha.... So with that voice, this drama definitely land their mark on my fav ost. Can't get enough of all the song in this drama.... Enough about that. Let's talk drama....

What i really2 like:
+ Tan Jian Ci and his voice.... One more time. Oh My Gosh that voice....
+ One walking & alive green flag ML... Haha... One very famous, rich, kind and handsome man that very humble & still very introvert man. Haha... And the way he respect our FL. Ugh... How can a man alive in only our dream come to our screen... Haha...
+ No love rival or third wheel that hinder their relationship. Not even fans of both side....
+ The cute 2nd couple. So cute & a little bit frustrated to see the dumb Zhou Zheng when he try to chase Geng Xiao Xing
+ How wonderful their friend circle. I love see how they all interact with each other. Even though they sometimes nosy, but with only one glance from Mo Qing Cheng (QC) and they all shut up. Haha...
+ The drolling food. Ugh... Sometimes it makes me hungry... Unfortunately later we don't get the cooking narration from our ML, instead just the cooking demo itself.... Haha...

What feel a little lack:
- How casual every thing.... The way they start to take their relationship further is so casual. Like when QC confess to Gu Sheng (SS), it's in the kitchen. It's like something he can't hide anymore and just jump out of his mouth. Or when QC purpose to SS, oh so damn casual.... I really hope we can get the better proposal scene....
- QC a little too perfect to be a famous person. I don’t believe no crazy fans or paparatzi that try to reveal his face to the world. Especially when Qiang Qing Ci start his relationship with Sheng Sheng Man, 2 hot topic yet no one try to expose more... Unfortunately I don't believe the world is that kind...
- They never let our FL introduce to ML's family.... Only QC comes to SS family. If only the throw away some unimportant scene, like when QC & SS meet QC neighbors, and replace with SS come to QC's house. It's gonna be the best. After all they plan the wedding, right. How can the leave behind the fact SS haven't meet QC's family....

Overall this definitely one drama i can't forget & forever and ever in my most beloved drama....

Woohoo... So long not watch Jackie Chan movie at my local movie theater... And I enjoy every moment of it... Haha...

Heart warming story about the struggle stunt-man and his family. Sometimes from our screen we often forgot the one who work behind the screen, especially the stunt-man for our actor/ess.

The story revolve around Luo Zhi Long (ZL) & his family. Story begin with ZL & his horse having problem about ownership, that problem make ZL has to contact his long detached daughter. After that finally their journey to win the case begin & also rekindle their relationship. While at the same time ZL himself finally start again his stunt-man job together with his horse.

Really like in the end how he finally realized how important family are. And how to appreciate the relationship with his family. And how to choose what's more important between his pride or the safety of his own & his family (the horse. Haha...). And at the very end we can see that loyal animal is not only dog but also horse, or maybe just basically any animal that we take care with our full heart.

Through out the drama I also thought, what it feel for Jackie Chan himself...? Is it like slap in his own face....? I think ZL relationship with his daughter quite like his own relationship with his son in the real life. Is he also mend his own relationship with his family like ZL did with his daughter...?

What interesting: We can see many many clip from Jackie Chan old movie & his own stunt. Haha... Seeing that clip really make me nostalgic & want to re-watch his old movie.... :D

What missing from this drama:
Unfortunately this movie missing 1 point in my opinion. It's gonna be more perfect if the last movie that his friend talk about movie for appreciate stunt-man really comes to the screen. But anyhow without this it's also perfect for the story, cause this actually not really focus in that aspect too...

Overall this really good movie to be watch for....

not usual FL or Queen

I think this is first time ever I've watch c-drama where the FL is not a pretty slim woman. As expected this drama bring us along with new perspective of FL, many new joy to the ride.

What's new:
+ FL is not a pretty slim woman. Hell yeah finally we can see FL not as a pretty slim woman & she feel very proud of herself & no shame have big body.
+ Queen not groom to be queen. Liu Jin Feng (JF) never been raised to be queen, so she never learn the etiquet to be one. As a result we see not very polite, not very elegant woman as our FL and queen.
+ JF bring the upbring as usual woman & treat the king, Duan Yun Zhang (YZ), as her husband not the king. As the result we can see how she teach him how to apologize when you wrong no matter who you are or to watch his mouth, because as she said his word is a degree so he can just said it as he please, must be the right order that bring goodness to everyone else.

What I like:
+ the attraction between JF & YZ. Chemistry not over the top, of course this still a comedy drama not romance, and the behavior between Jackie Li & Li Hong Yi we can see very friendly & they're very enjoy the moment they're in the scene together.
+ The nature of Liu Xie (LX) characteristic. From the very first we can see this is a very interesting man, but what is his intention....? Is he really bad or he just have very sly personality that like to play with the mind of YZ. Even YZ himself torn between is LX actually a good man or bad one, that's why we can see until the very end YZ actually quite reluctant to kill LX.
+ How the relationship between JF & YZ form until the end. How they build the trust, friendship & love in the end.
+ The relationship between Liu Bai Yu (BY) & Duan Yun Chong. It's quite funny to see how their relationship transform...
+ The character of Yong Fu. We always say good mother shape a good daughter. Well this happen in the case of this drama. We often can hear the word, my mom said....

What lack:
- I have to admit although I quite happy we can see not a norm queen, but to see a complete out of norm Queen like JF is also quite questionable. And the moment they also put BY as one moment that more fit as Queen then JF is also quite raising our eyebrow... But everything good & have their purpose at the end....
- Half baked love rival between By & JF or YZ & Yu Chang Ya. Yeah sometimes quite happy to see we don't have very cunning love rival that want make us pull their hair. But half baked like this also leave some holes....
- The kingdom enemy, like Xi Yue kingdom that already prepare battle but in the end become nothing except jokes. For me they better not prepare foreign kingdom as an enemy than like this. Like why kingdom must have enemy in the border, why not just create the story without it & just focus with the Palace or it's own kingdom.

Overall this one very unique drama that show up in drama world. I really hope we can see this kind of drama again & finger cross we can see Jackie Li as another FL not only support role.

Just because of Xu Kai

Almost didn't watch this because what AvenueX @YouTube said in her review. But this is Xu Kai drama, so here I am still watching it....

What AvenueX said in her video is so true. This drama just for the sake Xu Kai & Wu Jin Yan pairing. In my opinion she's not even the best partner for Xu Kai. Maybe I've to watch YanXi Palace first so I can ship them together....

In the term of story this is not very good. They combine Food & politic, but didn't do the very good job, so yeah it's kinda messy. At the end this drama is about food or politic is very questionable.... The food itself yeah at first kinda drooling, but I've watched drama with more drooling food.

But yeah when you put politic in ur every plot that when you can see that all the people basically so messy & hide ugly self within themselves & once you fall down the rabbit hole into the dark pit you can't get urself out of it....

So yeah this drama just for the sake pf the actor/ess involve, nothing more

Just one big messed up

Ughhh where should I start.... I bored almost reach my dead end. But i've should trust my gut feeling from the first ep watched this, this drama will gonna be b-a-dddddd...

What's ok from all of this drama: the cast. I quite like all the important cast, they play their part good enough. & The soundrack quite enjoyable. The beginning quite funny & enjoyable, that's why i decide to keep watch. But the more toward the end the more messed up this drama become.

All the weird and minus from this drama:
- The attitude of Yan Yun Zhi (YZ) toward Sang Qi (SQ) after he realize his feeling & after they're in relationship his attitude quite unbearable for me. Can't wait to see it end. No i don't find it adorable at all...
- Lian Pian as a maid is very daring if I have to say. The first time she face Yan Xiao Lang is not like maid at all. He is one aristocratic man, but she just like have no manner toward him.
- The last few ep where Zhuo Wen Yuan (WY) infiltrate SQ house in the name 'protect' SQ, her dad already said like he can't protect his own residence... But no... He stil proceed with everything. Hey SQ dad position is far above him, how can he just allowed him to do what he please. Make no sense at all... Yeah2 i know maybe that because of all the plan that SQ & YZ arranged. But still make no sense...
- WY in the last few ep also like all the power, he just recently graduate, recently have position in the kingdom, where all the power come from.... Why he like can control everything, from the academy until the court...
- Maybe there are bunch more. But so far these are that i remember right now

Overall this just one messed up plot, just happy to finished it. They lucky to have Zhao Lu Si & Xu Kai Cheng as the main couple if not maybe they maybe will not gonna have audience to watch

Sometimes I really wonder why Xinxia drama have to be this painful to watch...? Hoho... After so long not watching pure Xinxia drama, I decided to choose Ancient Love Poetry as my next drama to watch. And I really happy I've watch this drama. Although quite painful to watch, but this is really good drama.

There is some lack in this drama that for me actually quite critical, that's why I don't give this drama full score, the timeline and narration. Sometime I really confuse about their timeline, 1 week 1 year 100 year all of it sometimes there is no clear differences. Like when Hou Chi go to mountain for 100 year & when Bai Jue wake up, that's no clear timeline how much time actually already pass, we just know when Qing Mu write at first is 2 years apart, then we go blind about the time. And about the narration, I really like the ten miles of peach blossom narration at the first episode where they explained to us about Ancient God, fox clan, dragon clan and phoenix clan, we know for sure how important that clan in that drama. But here no explanation about Ancient God, true God or just ordinary God. Yeah2 I know there are some explanation within the dialogue, but still no narration.

The most painful in here is Hou Chi (HC). Her story is just pitiful & I think the most Bai Jue (BJ) owe is to her, although BJ also pitiful but his pitiful comes because his own choice of action.

What i like:
+ I really like the relationship between HC & Qing Mu (QM) then Shang Gu (SG) & BJ. HC & QM relationship is more honest & cheerful. I really have to give applause to Xu Kai, he really done good job portraying Bai Jue / Qing Mu, we can see difference face expression that differentiate them. I also quite like Zhou Dong Yu, even though she is not too beautiful but her aura when she's as SG, especially after she wakes up, is really something we can sense as someone who has authority.
+ Really like Yuan Qi, he is one naughty but smart young boy. He gets what best from his parent, his look & brain from BJ & his behavior like SG. He make everyone overwhelmed with him, even Zhi Yang after he wakes up. ^_^
+ The CGI here also quite beautiful, although sometimes we still can see they are quite rough. But still beautiful
+ In here also we can see the bigger the power the bigger the responsibility. Like SG who has ultimate power, within her power comes the responsibility to bear the greatest trial in the universe.
+ love the relationship between Feng Ran (FR) & Jing Jian (JJ) . Their relationship is a though one. The choice between grudge that FR has toward JJ family, and her feeling toward JJ itself. Although we don't really get the struggle feeling in FR heart, but we know it's there. Really love that JJ is the most sane & kind one in his family even until the last time he really can differentiate the right & wrong by his heart.

With all the plus here comes the negative about this drama. except the one I already mention above:
Some action really plainly stupid or beyond explanation.
- Like we know Wu Huan don't want SG to wake up, but when Gu Jun transfer her power back, she did nothing to stop it just plainly watch it & after that she just want kill her.
- After HC gave birth & she return to her place & live peacefully as SG until she wakes up with Tian Qi (TQ), who at that time condemn by everyone as the greatest villain, logically everyone supposed to storm to their place to capture TQ. How can they live peacefully.... ? Is BJ protect them... Isn't at that time he try to separate himself from them...?! See... No explanation here too...

With all the (+) & (-) this drama have. I still think this drama really worth to watch. This is the first Xinxia drama that wanna make me scream for special episode... ^_^

many first

This drama for me is so many first thing that makes me suck into this drama more and more.... The main reason I watched this drama of course dilireba. Usually I quite like her drama. I happy I can watch this drama.

The first thing for me:
- Many scene in here where it's usually CGI replaced by animation. I say it's quite charming & give us some new perspective. Yeah I know the one that became animation is not that important so it can be replace, but still it's also remind us this is from comic not novel like usual ^_^
- The first time I don't detest Rosy Zhao. Sorry for her fans, but usually I don't too like her acting, for me she act intentionally cute. But here I really have to give praise for her. Her acting growing a lot, I really like Le Yan Princess.
- No kiss scene... Hey I read in discussion still kinda not believe it. But after watch it, it's really no kiss scene, yeah the scene is very blurry or very closed, so you can concider it no kissing scene. Wonder what make the kissing scene disappear in this drama :p.

This drama is about journey to find friendship, love, justice, sacrifice for the greater good & most importantly discover yourself. I think in here half of the drama is about finding something/someone. Either it's find Le Yan (LY) or Chang Ge (CG).

Ok now about that character:
* Li Chang Ge (CG): Her journey start when her world crumbling with the assassination of her family by her uncle. In this drama she grow up & learn that not everything as seen by the eye. She grow up from a girl that only want to revenge to find companion & friendship along the way. She discover herself & find forgiveness when everything clear.
* Li Le Yan (LY): She grow up from naïve little girl, who is very protective, to a woman who have a voice & courage to chose her own way. She learn the truth about world outside palace & learn the truth about mankind.
* Hao Du (HD): He start as very robotic military man, who only know to obey his foster father word. Until later he learn to have his own judgment about the whole situation & start to doubt his foster father word. But from the first until the later what he want just for the good of Tang Dynasty so we can't too blamed him :P.
* Wei Shu Yu (SY): The first I saw him as a weak man who doesn't have like his opinion, he like just follow what other said, like his dad of even HD. But later I quite impressed by him when he say heart to heart word to LY before battle Ashile She Er (SE) to rescue LY from married him, his reason is simple because he can't let down LY with giving her hope of marriage with him. Hey not many character in the drama can say this kind of word, usually the writer just let him sacrifice himself in the name saving the beauty :D.
* And of course the last but not least our Ashile Sun (AS): Not many I want to write about this man. This man just the straight up as usual man lead. From the first until the last not much changing in his character.

What I like:
+ Even though not so much romance scene, but the relationship & chemistry between the cast quite there. Especially the determination between AS & CG we really can feel it, how they really respect each other space & decision.
+ Every cast growing from quite naïve about the world into something.

What quite confusing for me actually the politic. Especially in my eyes several minister is quite similar, so it's very hard to differentiate them apart :P.

Overall I really like this drama, but I don't think I'll gonna re-watch it.

The truth u never expected

This drama told us about the awesome of the brain, what our brain can do to protect ourselves from any 'hurt' feeling. I won't tell you the ending because i'm not that cruel ^_^. Because this for sure the drama you must watch till the end to understand everything, don't stop in the middle ok... The ending and the truth of the drama is something far far away from the synopsis.

Actually from middle of the drama i can already guess the ending between 2. Either is Chen An or Wen Ke Er version. So that's why i can't say i never expected the ending. But still the last episode still gives me o.m.g time...

But still i really must appreciate the writer for give us really outstanding plot that really out of the box. And yeah really glad they just make it into 20 episode not 30/40 episode.

What i like:
+ The beginning where Wen Ke Er talk to psychiatrist. At first this really confuse me. What the connection. But turn out that what really give us the clue about the ending & it all explained in the last episode.
+ No one is completely evil or good. At first we see that Gu Qing Zhou seem like bad people that just want a revenge, but along the way she also have doubt about everything she did.
+ They stick to revenge drama plot, so there is only a little bit of romance & very supple too.

Overall this drama really have different plot than any other drama. Watch this till the end, if you stop in the middle i guarantee you'll gonna regret it. This is absolutely no re-watch drama material, because once you know the truth no meaning watch it all over again.

Too many plot holes

Have you ever imagine meet urself 10 years ago? What will you feel seeing how naive or stupid urself in the past...? Or have u ever imagine meet urself 10 years from now? Will (s)he will be our idol/ur dream person or become the one u want to avoid....?

For me this drama is one of the most confuse plot. From first until the end never really reveal the real reason for Lin Miao (LM) to go back to the past. Just a little bit of connection but make no sense to pick LM to go back to past. And why LM have to help Jiao Yang (JY) to become president is also never been explained.

Yeah the romance is there & the development of the romance is quite good. LM herself is one of the toughest female lead in the drama. Cheesy romance is unnecessary for this woman. But the relationship between JY & LM is quite sweet in someway, especially how they support each other.

What i like from this drama especially is Zhao Yan (ZY). She is not a stupid girl who will do anything in the name of love. She is a lovely girl who know how to let go. Even though she quite stubborn at first & how she let go is quite stupid. But she still let it go without fuss.

The plot hole that i notice or iritate me:
- Su Cheng Yun (CY) as the antagonist is quite weird in someway. The reason he did all what he did is a little bit push if i must say. Maybe because the writter didn't give us the past about CY. Suddenly they just tell us that CY is evil due to his mother action that he think is unfair to him. But what is the unfair action never really reveal. Just because his mother leave him...? I don't think so. They also never really tell us about how good or bad relationship between CY & JY, and why CY must envy JY. Just tell us that they are brother from their mother. Really makes no sense to make this become the plot...
- The 10 years in the future scene is not too clear. No writing 10 years later what so ever. They makes us notice about the time different just because shan shan is pregnant and have child.
- Other couple romance also a little bit push over. Just like they need another couple in the drama.
- The one who betray the company also really confusing. Like why he did what he did never really explained. Is it money..? Or is it other factor...? We never know
- When Lin Wei Jun met LM for the first time she's not surprise to see someone that looked like herself but older...

Overall this drama is not worth to watch. You may watch it if you fans of Li Hong Yi or Kira Shi or other actor in this drama. But if you watch it because of the plot don't waste ur time, pick another drama instead

long waiting finally come true...

Really excited when this drama finally surface to our screen. A long time waiting we have for this drama, I've waited this since 2019. Is it redeem everything...? is this worth to wait...? Oh I want to say yes yes yes with all my heart, but unfortunately there're some disappointment too...

At first I also quite disappointed with the beginning of this drama. It's like, the drama that I've been waiting for this long only like this.... But however in the end I still give this very high score. Simply because the ending story is really beautiful. This drama has a very mediocare beginning to the middle, but from middle to the end is so meaningful. How they tell story when Lin Zhi Xiao (XX) & Gu Wei (GW) is about to married, the vow & speech at the wedding. Usually other drama just tell us when they meet the parent after that just jumping to wedding scene or just fast forward the process of the wedding, but here they tell the feeling of a father that about to let go his girl & other stuff about wedding itself. & also don't forget the story after the wedding that we don't need to wait for another special episode.

The minus:
- The chemistry between Yang Zi and Xiao Chan not over the top. They're beautiful people, but somehow they chemistry feel a little bit lack compared to other Yang Zi partner in drama.
- Yang Zi character here remind me of her character at Go Go Squid.
- The second couple story unfinished. Yeah I know they not the main couple, but the way they write the story of Gu Xiao & San San feel just like hanging in the gallows & they prefer to not wrote a complete story because they're not the main lead.
- The story sometimes doesn't quite makes sense. Like when GW suddenly can do the operation even though he actually has some psychological issues regarding it or when he got serious problem later on he just got back at his sense, both just because XX talk sense to him. Or maybe the issues itself from the first just be there for the purpose to make our couple have a smooth sail.... :p.
- XX sometimes a little bit too immature

The Plus:
+ No crazy love rival. Yes they have love rival, but the other party quite mature to know they boundaries.
+ The soundtrack is so beautiful & the lyrics is very very beautiful & meaningful.
+ They not too stretch the duration into hot complete mess...
+ The 'interview' in the end of almost every episode...

Overall just because the ending makes this drama one of the top in my list.

A little dissapointed

Well unfortunately much like Fraxer, me also the fans of the manga. So yeah I also have a lot of disappointment when come to the casting. Nakamura Aoi and Takahashi Ai is quite unfit for the role of Toma & Kana. Especially Nakamura Aoi, he is much too tall for the role of Toma. But for Takahashi Ai, actually I don’t really have much comments, just feel she's not really fit the role.

Put that a side. Let's talk drama...

This drama tell story about 2 high school student named Toma So & Mizuhara Kana. Toma is a genius boy, who's abandoned his study in MIT, America, to study at Japan. In Japan, Toma met Kana, his schoolmate. Intrique by the new boy, Kana decided to be friend him. And together they solved many cases.

Now I'll try to talk what I like and don't like and put aside my fans side.

What I like:
+ Kana is one interesting girl that's really bring positive to everybody around her.
+ I really like how they close the curtain. That's really help Kana & Toma to realize their feeling toward each other.
+ The story quite true to the manga without adding much sugar...

What I don't like :
- Nakamura Aoi can't relly bring the quirky or lonely side of Toma So.

Overall this an ok drama with the disappointment for us the fans... The quite high score just because I'm still glad they still stick to the manga. If not I really don't know what score will I give this.... But put that's a side, this still, unfortunately, one forgettable drama...

Short drama

Zhao Yi Qin is one of the pitiful actor in my opinion. He's not so bad, in term of acting, but his big 'boom' in drama haven't come yet. So yeah we much see him in short drama & he is one of the good face to be seen.... With him in short drama, at least I know, the drama will not too bad.

But unfortunately this time, not so much...

The story nothing too new... 2 sibling hate each other, parents always defend one against another. And of course they're fighting over the same guy, that's in the end make the elder sister [Ning Xi (NX)] framed by his own sister.

NX got drug one night, and slept with an unknown man, thinking it's her boyfriend, Su Yan. As the result, she's pregnant. One day accident happen & she can't preserve his pregnancy.

Five years later, she's out for revenge against the ones who betrayed her and aims to fulfill her dreams in the process. Fate leads her to a man who helps pave the way.

That's pretty much the story... Feel like your everyday tik tok video right... Haha...

Now the bad part...
Even for short drama, this is one bad editing. I don't know from where the heck they pick the responsible man to do the job. It like a result of student who just learn to do the editing. I even can say for sure, some YouTubers still better do the editing than this man....

So they must say thanx to Zhao Yi Qin. If not him i don't know what score will i give this drama....

Overall this just another short drama. 16 ep with 4 min each, so it's about 64 min total.
