OMG - Why the hell this drama was made. STUPID PLOT and Unrealistic. Grr........

"Love Me, Love My Voice" is a rom-com drama, but there was no drama. After I had invested my valuable time in watching 16 episodes, I decided to drop it and not waste any more of my time. I should have dropped it sooner, but I hoped it would improve because it is a slow burn. It turned out to be a big disappointment.

Tan Jian Ci played a doctor, Mo Qing Cheng, but in real life, he is a voice teacher named Qiang Qing Ci. None of his students knows what he looks like in real life except for Gu Sheng/Sheng Sheng Man, a voice student played by Zhou Ye.

This drama is so stupid and unrealistic in so many ways:
1. Mo Qing Cheng is a surgeon busy with his medical career, but the drama does not show his job as a doctor.
2. Instead, it showed his hobbies as a voice teacher and a cook.
3. The whole annoying drama is about his voice career and eating.
4. I was not impressed with Zhou Ye's character and the actress who portrayed her.
5. The on-screen chemistry between the main CP was not great. I like the 2nd CP better.
6. There was no drama or conflict between the main CP, which is annoying.
7. Tian Jian Ci is too short as a male lead. I like him better in Lost You Forever.

Why does China even bother to make this kind of trashy drama? I give it a 4.5 rating because of the stupid and unrealistic plot.

The plot is too boring for me, and too much propaganda and nationalism.

Enlighten Your Life is about Yugoslav nuclear power expert Lehmann came to inspect the nuclear power plant in China in 1986.

I watched about 12 episodes and lost interest because the drama's subject is not something I am interested in. In addition, it is also so much propaganda about the nationalism of China and wants to do good and proud of building and entering nuclear power plants.

It also shows the dynamic of family conflict between Ye's family, the father and son relationship with his adopted son Lin Qi. It does not have English subtitles either, so I don't think I will finish this drama.

I am dropping it and give it a 6.5 rating.

I maybe a minority in this review, but this Xianxia gone bad from episode 11 onward. Dropping it.

Till the End of the Moon is one of the most anticipated Xianxia Cdrama of 2023, starting with Leo Luo, Bai Lu as the main CP, and Chen Du Ling and Deng Wei as the 2nd CP.

Xianxia genre is not my thing, but I like Leo Luo and Bai Lu in Love is Sweet because their onscreen chemistry in that drama was off the chart. I am watching this Xianxia drama because of them. The good things so far about this drama are the production quality is so good, the CGI, and the costumes.

I enjoyed the first 10 episodes, but it went downhill for me from episodes 11-16 because of the fighting scenes and characters of Ming Yi and Sang Jiu. It took f***ing 5 episodes to fight between good and evil. These 5 episodes were confusing and had no linkage to Tantai Jin and Li Su Su characters thus far.

What's up with the asteroids and all the gods? Ultimately, they could not win over the devil, and all the gods and Ming Yi died. It was lame that Sang Jiu located and rescued him by transporting him into a tiny dragon, wtf.

I am so disappointed and unsure if I want to suffocate myself to continue with this drama. It is 40 episodes long and last an hour for each episode. Too much time to be wasted on a horrible script with stupid fillers. Grrr...

In addition, Chen Du Ling is a one-dimensional actress; I wish they would cast someone else better. I watched AvenueX ranting about how bad this drama is, and I agreed with her. I will not waste my precious time with it, even when I like Leo Luo and Bai Lu's acting abilities.

I am giving it a 4.5 rating.

Too draggy and boring to continue after 12 episodes, dropping it.

"Stay Young Stay Passion" is yet another republican era melodrama about three siblings who were separated at young ages after their parents were murdered. They were brought up by 3 different families and tried to find and reunite with each other and avenge their parents' deaths.

I watched 12 episodes, and the cinematography is good, but the acting is okay. The storyline is draggy and boring, so I am dropping this drama.

I used to like Zhang Han's acting and dramas, but lately, after Sunshine of My Life, his other dramas were okay and not as good like:
- One Boat, One World
- Farewell to Arm
- Gentlemen of East 8th received a lot of backlash.

I am giving this drama a 5.0 rating.

It's great to see a drama that deal with sexual harassment in China. Excellent acting and story.

"Imperfect Victim" is a story about a sexual harassment case that leads to a rape case, further leading to a big corporation, its employees, and different people like lawyers/prosecutors.

It stars Zhou Xun as Lin Kan, Liu Yi Jun as Cheng Gong, and Jelly Lin as Zhao Xun. I enjoyed the drama and was frustrated by episodes 1-15 because the imperfect victim did not speak up about being sexually harassed and/or even raped.

The lawyer was not helping Zhao Xun initially because she was defending Cheng Gong; in the latter half of the drama, she leaned toward Zhao Xun and another domestically violated woman whose lover was a whistleblower. He witnessed the sexual harassment that Zhao Xun endured under the control of Cheng Gong.

The entire ensemble acted excellently, particularly Elaine Zhong, who played Detective Yan Ming. She believes in the victim Zhao Xun, whom no one else did.

This drama must be filmed during the Covid Pandemic 2020 because everyone wears masks. Zhao Yun's courage helped Lin Kan face up to her sexual harassment past and works to defend women in sexual harassment and domestic violent cases.

I really enjoy this drama and give it an 8.5 rating. Highly recommended.

Why bother with airing this trashy drama with bad plot and bad acting. Don't waste your time.

"Got a Crush on You" is a rom-com drama, but there was no drama. After I had invested my valuable time in watching 8 episodes, I decided to drop it and not waste any more of my time. I should have dropped it sooner. It is a time killer for me while waiting for The Last Immortal to be broadcast.

This drama started by the main CP, Xu Kai Cheng, and Gulnezer Bextiyar, who cannot act imo
1. Who would give up a successful doctor career to own a shop that sells women's lingerie and also work as a doctor in the rescue mission?
2. Xu Kai Cheng's character is a stupid and childish man regarding courtship.
3. I like the 2nd CP better than the main one.
4. All they did was bickering and jealous about stupid things.

Why bother with airing this kind of trashy drama? I give it a 4.5 rating because of the stupid and unrealistic plot.

Low-budget Romcom with bad script and mediocre acting. Good thing it is short.

A low-budget Romcom is about a young couple with severe insomnia due to a horrible event that occurred when they were kids that caused amnesia. They encountered each other again as adults, discovered their past through hypnosis, and fell in love.

The script is mediocre, and the same goes for the acting of the entire cast, but the ML is worse. The good thing is that it is only 24 episodes with 30 minutes per episode; hence it was not bad to binge through and fast forward some parts.

I give it a 5.0 rating because of bad acting, bad script, and bad production quality.

Don't waste your time with this drama - Stupid Plot

Accidentally Meow on You - After watching 7 episodes, I am dropping this drama. The plot is stupid, and I could not believe that Xing Zhao Lin and Hu Bing Qing took on this project.

Xing Zhao Lin is being typed cast as well. He has been playing the same cold, arrogant CEO who gave his employee a hard time and eventually fell in love with them.

I hope his future projects will be something different to expand his acting skills, similar to Hu Bing Qing.

I am giving this drama a 4.0 rating because I like the actor and actress but not this stupid story.

Another flop Xian Xia drama even though it may have good actors. It was slow and boring.

The Legend of ShenLi is a typical Xian Xia melodrama about the Immortal and mortal worlds. It has fantasy elements with good and evil. It has good actors (Zhao Liying and Lin Geng Xin), but it is a flop (in my opinion) because the storyline is so boring after 12 episodes that I could no longer engage or watch it further.

My Reviews:
- Yet another predictable Xian Xia drama about the demons and heavenly realms.
- I love ZLY, but this drama did not lure me. I have watched 12 episodes already and am not convinced I should continue.
- The first 7 episodes were good, but it went downhill when she returned to the demon realm.

I am dropping this drama and giving it a 6.0 rating for a bad script.

Another boring and lengthy Xian Xia drama even it has awesome actor.

I am dropping The Longest Promise with Xiao Zhan and Ren Min after 10 episodes. I don't like the Xian Xia genre; I have tried many times (TTEOTM, TJOCZ, etc.) and dropped all of them. It is not a genre that I am into.

Xiao Zhan is a good actor, but to pair him up with an FL who is not as high caliber as him is a waste of his talents. I can't stand the dubbing voice of the FL character either because it was the same dubbing voice for other FL actresses that I ended up dropping all of those Xian Xia dramas.

The special effect is good, but to see the heavenly realm and monster in a fantasy setting is not my thing. The pace of the drama is also too slow that it did not lure me in. I don't want to waste my time since it is 40 episodes long.

I give it a 5.0 rating because of the bad acting on the FL, which is too slow, boring, and long.

I am rooting for Xiao Zhan and Zhao Lusi in a historical or contemporary drama together. They are both good actors.

Boring script with no on-screen chemistry between the main CP. Don't waste your time.

"The Legend of AnLe" is a Wuxia drama about revenge starring Dilraba Dilmurat as Ren An Le/Di Zi Yuan and Gong Jun as the crown Prince Han Ye.

Synopsis: Di Zi Yuan seeks revenge after her family was falsely accused of treason ten years ago and beheaded according to the emperor's edict. As the sole survivor, she changes her name to Ren An Le and schemes her way into the court. She admires Crown Prince Han Ye's concern for his people's welfare. While slowly developing feelings for him, she remains haunted by her past, unable to dismiss the enmity between their two families. The crown prince, Han Ye, driven by his deep love for Di Zi Yuan, vows to resolve their differences at any cost.

Review: I have watched 11 episodes, and the pace of the drama is very slow. It did not lure or engage me, and I found it quite boring. In addition, the onscreen chemistry between Gong Jun and Dilraba was not great. When Dilraba's character tries to flirt with him, Gong Jun seems quite stiff.

The acting of the main CP was so awkward and bad that I lost interest in continuing with this drama, and nothing special about the story either. Especially many other WuXia and/or Xian Xia dramas are more interesting, like Lost You Forever and Mysterious Lotus Casebook, making this one a loser.

I give it a 5.0, and I am dropping this drama. I liked Gong Jun in Begin Again with Zhou Yu Tong (Together, they have great chemistry.) I am disappointed with his acting in other dramas post-Begin Again, similar to Dilraba; last year, I could not pass episode 1 of Blue Whisper: part 1, and I didn't bother with part 2.

The drama started out interesting but gotten stupid and draggy as the story progressed

Warm on a Cold Night, after watching 15 episodes, I can no longer continue. The story started-out interesting and somewhat funny; however, it was unbearable to watch as it progressed. It is draggy, repetitive, and boring. The onscreen chemistry between Li Yi Tong and Bi Wen Jun is not great.

Li Yi Tong is a decent actress, but for some reason, I could not finish dramas where she played an FL in any drama because of the characters she played in those dramas.

This is my 11th drama with her (both as FL and 2nd FL); I first liked her in Blossom in Heart with Deng Lun, and I dropped 50% of her dramas, especially the most recent ones.

The story of Warm on a Cold Night is so stupid, and her character is very annoying because of too much whining.

I am giving it a 4.5 rating.

Don’t waste your time. Bad pairing for main CP. Jerry Yan is so bad in this drama

I think Jerry Yan is too old to match with xử Rou Hàn in this drama. I understand it is a forbidden love between middle aged man and a younger, but their onscreen chemistry was horrible.

The story is so slow and draggy. I watched 6 episodes and I can no longer continue with it.

I wish Jerry Yan acts in better role that fit his age, something with mature relationship. Perhaps play a divorcée or widow dad, instead of RomCom where he is teaming up with actresses half his age.

Don’t waste your time with this drama in my opinion, and the supporting cast is also horrible, especially the mom.

Too bad, I really like the FL in Perfect and Casual with Miles Wei, a better pairing. I am dropping it and give it a 3.0 rating.

It has time travel element but the plot is too dull and too boring to continue wasting my time.

Initially, I was not interested in watching "Winter Night" since there was nothing too exciting going on in Cdrama after Hidden Love (which I love), so I decided to try this drama. I have watched 12 episodes on Prime Video. I was so disappointed with the plot, and this was not the best drama for Qiao Xin (Bridgette Qiao). The character she played in this role was not good, and it downgraded her acting ability.

I liked her better in previous dramas like (The Autumn Balad, Dream Garden, You Complete Me, and The Ordinary Glory). Still, I did not like her character Zheng Da Qian in this drama.

Her onscreen chemistry with Kiddo Ma was not good because I don't like his character either. It is time travel, but it was confusing, and too much dysfunctional going on between her and her friends and family that it was hard to watch.

I am dropping it and giving it a 4.5 rating. I can no longer stand to continue to watch the same bickering that is going on in each episode.

The drama is too long to have investigative plot for 55 episodes. Dropping it.

Under the Power was recommended by my friend, so I started watching it, and I am dropping it after 13 episodes for the following reasons:
1. It is too long, 55 episodes.
2. It is too long to watch the lead CP investigate corruption/mysterious murder for that long without any other twist.
3. I love Seven Tan but think Allen Ren is not good. He is a one-dimensional actor with the same facial expression for every emotional or non-emotional scene.
4. The pairing of them is not that great.

Nowadays, I have no patience for anything over 40 episodes unless it is split into two parts or has great plots and good pairing CP like Who Rules the World or Love like the Galaxy, or the Rebel Princess (which has 68 episodes, and the acting is good.)
