(Don't expect much from three Epilogue episodes, they don't provide any furtherance or plot improvement, quite the contrary, meant to be funny, it ends been disappointing!) For the 24 episode drama: This is a nice historical drama to watch while waiting for a great one to come. The drama’s title could be misleading since most of the drama is spent in trying to find a solution for the lack of marriage interest that was accidentally prompted by the leading male. The leading couple has a good playful chemistry but most of their romantic scenes were insipid or interrupted. The leading lady is lovable and she can deliver a dramatic scene nicely. As for the cast as a whole, the acting is average and, for a series about romance, the drama failed to deliver. The drama is not bad, it is just unexceptional.

This is a historical fantasy drama that has a decent script but fails to deliver. The reason is that the actors, for the most part, failed to show the proper facial expressions in order to convey the right emotions. Also, although the leading couple has a lot of screen time together, there is no chemistry between them or any other characters. There is also the fact that the female lead was supposed to be someone that had the ability to acquire great power but it never materialized and, to make matters worse, after finally finding her father, he dies as she helplessly watches. So, overall, the drama is somewhat boring and drags.

This is a good fictional historical drama that, according to some viewers, was based on actual events and characters of the late Tang Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wuzong. The actors did a great job bringing their characters to life and, although the drama is about 10-13 episodes too long and there are plenty of unnecessary events, the drama is quite entertaining. The drama progresses too slowly, the leading actress is too impulsive and unreasonable trying to protect people that were obviously hurting her and the emperor which made her character quite frustrating. The Emperor (Cheng Yi) and Mike He (as eunuch Qiu Zi Liang) were a force to be reckon with portraying their characters. SPOILER ALERT: The drama would have been much better if they would have ended it after the Emperor wins over the bad guys but, at the end, the Emperor dies. (And who was the person that the leading lady was looking at so lovingly at the end?).

This review is for both “One and Only” and “Forever and Ever” dramas but the rating is different:
One and Only
This drama is really a masterpiece, almost flawless, if it would not be for the poor acting skill and expressions of one of the most significant antagonists, actor Wang Xing Yue as Liu Zi Xing. The production gives the viewer gorgeous costumes, dazzling sets, great cinematography, a leading couple that doesn’t need intimacy to immerses the viewer and evokes beautiful, heartfelt, and sorrowful emotions that leaves anyone breathless even when a romantic relationship between them was forbidden. The action scenes are well choreographed and the chemistry among the soldiers and Zhousheng Chen is strongly fused by their sincere feelings and camaraderie. SPOILER ALERT: Even with the tragic ending, the drama is still worth watching! Enjoy it!
Forever and Ever (SPOILER ALERT!)
If the viewer is looking for a drama that has a nice romance feel but lacks intimacy, then this is the right drama. I would not consider this drama a sequel since there is little connection to the “prequel” apart for the leading couple, flashbacks that give the viewer a glimpse of their past relationship, a leading male that belongs to an old and establish rich family with a matriarch that simulates a sovereign ruler of great power and rank, a leading female that comes from a “noble” family, and some supporting actors that can be somehow compared to others in the past life. Although the leading couple is connected to the past, find each other and fall in love, this drama doesn’t capture the intensity of their feelings like it was portrayed on the drama “One and Only”. For “Forever and Ever” been a modern romance, Zhousheng Chen’s character is almost emotionally handicap with an unrealistic innocence for a man in his late twenties, even if he has spent most of his life been a bookworm. Although the Zhousheng Chen from the past does not kiss Cui Shi Yi, he was not passive at all! So, overall, this is not a bad drama, it is just a failed attempt to bring an everlasting and passionate love to the present times.

Review for Season 1 & 2

This drama is a fantasy, wuxia romance. It is cute, silly, light hearted, and entertaining. The leading couple has good chemistry and, once they realized that they liked each other, they remained steadfast in their pursuit of happiness. Although their intimate moments could’ve been better, there are many cute and nice romantic scenes. The drama has the usual travel back in time tropes that are well worked into the drama. The two male leads have a great frenemy relationship that it’s also well developed throughout the drama. This drama offers a light and nice entertainment. Enjoy it!

This is a nice romantic comedy with a dramatic twist and a steadfast love story. The leading male did really well delivering his emotional “deficient” character and still showing his heart through his expressions. The leading lady’s actions sometimes didn’t go hand in hand with her loving and warm personality, especially by ignoring Soo Ho’s calls even after they declared their love for each other. Also, too often, her facial expressions and body language were too subtle and lacked empathy demonstration when she was with Soo Ho. The storyline is really nice and Soo Ho’s conflicts were well shown by his demeanor but the leading couple’s chemistry was more the cold and warm relationship than the intensification type. There is also Yura’s character that was purely annoying till the end and a guy that had no reason for falling in love with her. The music was really nice and Park Yoon (as Lee Kang) was a saving grace in this drama. Overall, the drama is a nice series to watch while waiting for a great one to come. Enjoy it!

This period fantasy drama is a gem. Everything was done at a high quality and the cast did a great job bringing their characters to life. Both leading characters (Mark Chao as Mo Yuan / Ye Hua /Jin Lian/Zhao Ge and Yang Mi as Si Yin / Su Su / Bai Qian) were brilliant and flawless in their acting; their chemistry was strong no matter which character they were playing at a given time. Mo Yuan and Bai Quian love story is beautiful, painful at times, but always breathtaking. Seen these two actors playing such different multiple roles and doing it in a way that, although every character was different, the essence of their soul and their strong love bond was believable, is perfect and mesmerizing. The OST is beautiful and emotive, and the drama has beautiful costumes, great CGI’s, and well choreograph action scenes. Great drama, enjoy it!

This is a very nice and well written crime corporate drama with a great cast. All the actors did a good job bringing their characters to life; the leading couple has very good chemistry although they fell short on their romantic scenes (although it is not a romance drama, it could’ve been better). The story is strong and there are some interesting twist thrown throughout the drama. Accolades to the older and more experience cast that carried on the drama making it suspenseful, interesting, irritating, and very emotionally driven. There is an excellent heartfelt scene from Park Sang Myun (Heo Jang Su-Yoon Do's father) on episode 12. Also, Lee Kyu Han was excellent on his portrayal of the multifaceted and enigmatic character Mo Wan Soo. The drama is entertaining, enjoy it! ***Watch the last episode all the way to its ending!!!

This is a very nice romance miniseries. Eric Zhang/Zhang Yun Tao( as Fu Han Sheng) and Bai Yan (as Tan Wan Xing) are the leading couple on this drama. The cast did a good job bringing their characters to life but the leading couple was really the ones that made the drama worth it. There is a case of mistaken identity, overuse of aphrodisiacs to try to control the ML and the leading couple doesn’t know the truth until the very end. The leading couple has great chemistry and they both will do what they can to protect one another. The realization of their true feelings for one another develops slowly throughout the drama’s duration but it is done well and nice to see. The one reason that is not rated higher was the ending; it’s a good ending but too rushed.
