Fake marriage turned out to be fluffy & cute romance with cliffhanger ending.
This is a very typical cdrama which involved in fake marriage turned to real romance with 3rd party wheel involvement.Since this cdrama has a total of 15 episodes with 30 mins / per episode hence I will not reveal any spoiler over here but to comment on the story, casting & OST.
Story - If you like romcom then this cdrama suits your taste as you may find quite a number of skinship of the main couple over here. Another thing was there is no side couple which we can't make any comparison to the main couple but solely on the main couple that is the ML - Bai Li / Lord Qian Sui acted by Luo Zheng & the FL - Chen You You acted by Ji Mei Han. Luckily both of them managed to create the on screen chemistry considering both are quite young & amateur's actor & actress. Nothing much I can comment on this story & plot as I feel there will be another session of continuation as this story ended with a cliffhanger.
Acting - On the ML by Luo Zheng as Bai Li / Lord Qian Sui, I feel he has improved in his acting skill compared to his earlier cdrama "Cry Me a River of Stars" only thing is his face, personally I feel like he has undergone plastic surgery which in this drama labelled him as the most handsome or good looking person. For me, I feel his look is more suitable to be a model than an actor as for the FL by Ji Mei Han who played the role of Chen You You, certain angle she looks similar as Zhao Lu Si. Even the way she acted & talked in this drama is quite alike Zhao Lu Si too. Another role that I quite enjoyed watch is Bai Li right hand man - Gu Tian He acted by Hu Wei as he has acted in quite a number of cdramas as supporting roles but over here his role was really humorous & funny ones. The rest of the supporting roles too did a great job in portraying their role such as Chen Ming Hao who played the Royal Highness roles who loves to bake biscuits or delicacies.
The OST - I like the opening OST songs it seems nice & pleasant to listen even the ending OST too was good.
Since this is a low budget cdrama so I don't expect it to be very good but overall it was above average to me except the cliffhanger ending. So if you're considering whether to watch it or not then you need to be prepared for the ending or else everything seems to be fine (for me!).

Self Redemption turned to Self Discovery & Bromance
What will a spoil young brat with heart case did if he has 2nd chance to live?I hardly cry in any dramas that I am watching but this drama really makes me cried so much especially from episode 8 onwards. One of the best so-called BL dramas that I have watched so far besides Taiwanese BL series under WBL & History. What I like on this drama is the flow of this story, it was not too slow or draggy and how the ML - Tian turns over a new leaf after he get a 2nd chance to live under another person heart which brings him to meet another ML - Chief Phupha. This story is so heart-warming & down to earth. Both ML & even the supporting roles e.g. Dr. Nam, Tian's best friend - Tul & the heart donor - Torfun was great. The background of this drama is magnificent & personally I like all the OST in this drama too. If you are expecting skinship in this drama then very sorry this drama has the least skinship but a lot of body language & emotional elements. If you are still considering of watching it then my advise is just give it a try since it's only total of 10 episodes but make sure you get ready a box of Kleenex with you.
Great work to all the production crews especially the director of this drama for directing such a wonderful drama. Another point that I like on this drama is every ending of the episode there will be a phrase / proverbs being extracted from the dialogue of this drama which I find it to be very meaningful & useful for us to ponder on it.

Am I watching Star Wars movies??
Just finished watching this movie .........this movie made me feel like I am watching Star Wars movies excluding the outer space concept. LolSince I have done watching both Yin Yang Master - the 1st one which has Mark Chao & Deng Lun & the 2nd one with Chen Kun & Qu Chu Xiao. I know I should not compared both of these movies but with the same characters & storyline indirectly I will start comparing it. My advise is if you like Marvel movies then watch Yin Yang Master acted by Mark Chao & Deng Lun whereas if you are fans of Star Wars movies then Yin Yang Master by Chen Kun & Qu Chu Xiao would be more to your preferences.
Storyline - Over here, less of travelling of time or space but concentrate of this evil stone. You may watch everyone go all the way to obtain this evil stone and our poor ML - Qing Ming was blamed for losing it which was being kept in the temple. Then the 2nd ML acted by Qu Chu Xiao played the role of Boya as the Imperial guard. Surprisingly William Chan acted bro. Cimu who is good brother in disguised but he has evil intention & framed up the ML. The FL acted by Zhao Xun as Bai Ni who always stands by the ML side and the 2nd FL acted by Shen Yue as Shen Le is one of ML so called family member whom she called the ML as her master.
Acting - Everyone over here acted very well according to their role especially William Chan who played good & badass roles but Qu Chu Xiao role over here is not as cool & chill as Deng Lun and he seems to be always mingle around with the 2nd FL - Shen Le. Personally I like the monster - Red Ghost as this monster looks very cute & chubby. The FL role over here is quite limited as what I can see from this movie is she keeps on chasing after the ML. Lol.
CGI effects - For China movie standard, I can commented it was good. The characters over here is quite similar to Star Wars movie especially on the monsters.
Conclusion - this movie is not to my preference compared to the Mark Chao & Deng Lun version. I prefer - Yin Yang Master - Dream of Eternity more compared to this Yin Yang Master (2021). Anyway, it depends on individual preferences (so not hard feelings!).

Short, sweet, simply bromance
Actually I was not aware on this Taiwanese drama till I saw someone posted it in Weibo. So I decided to check out the review over here & read most viewers rated highly on this drama. Since it's only 6 episodes with 30 mins per/episode so I just give it a try. Please bear in mind, uni/college dramas is not to my preference so for this drama, I give it an exemption.True enough this drama did not disappoint me. Why? It's was short, sweet & has simply storyline. Not those lengthy, draggy with repetitive scenes.
I trust most of you have read other reviews on this drama over here so I am not going to repeat it over here.
What capture me most in this drama is how the both ML acted on their roles. It was sooooo captivating & convincing which audiences can feel how both have gone thru & how both felt for each other especially on Gao Shi De role. He has been following or stalking Zhao Shu Yu since they are small around 6 or 7 years old & never give up on trying to be close to Zhao Shu Yu. The development of this story too is decent & well-paced where viewers can see both Gao Shi De & Zhao Shu Yu roles in order to fully understand both.
I like how Gao Shi De secretly whispering to Zhao Shu Yu ear saying that the person that he loves all the time is Zhao Shu Yu & how Zhao Shu Yu reaction after discovering this little secret from Gao Shi De & how he reciprocate the love to Gao Shi De.
I must said this is one of the best bromance or BL drama atm as it's not too cringy but mixture of bitterness, sweetness, sad & happy. It's even better than those normal man & woman relationship in any kdramas or cdramas.
Hopefully the 2nd session is as good as the 1st session as the opening of 2nd session - "WBL - Fighting Mr. 2nd" picks up where the 1st session ended but after 5 years later when both ML are now grown up working adults.
Last & not least this drama has mostly males castings so if you are those who love watching hot or cute guys or boys then this drama you may really consider watching it.

Novoland: The Castle in the Sky 2
7 personnes ont trouvé cette critique utile
The whole story goes round and round between the romance with the Male Lead that is Xue Jing Kong acted by Jeremy Jones and the Female Lead that is Fang Ru Che acted by Uvin Wang and the tragic romance with the 2nd male lead that is Yun Mu Yang and 2nd female lead that is Du Xian Yin. How the Flower Goddess manipulate the feeling between the male lead and female lead which leads their relationship to and back (few times). Separated then reunite due to that Flower Goddess curse.
This drama showcase that a childish and weak female lead becomes a very strong and mature lady in the end. Even though with the so called happy ending between the male & female lead yet I find this story is not interesting . The reason is firstly I don't find any sparks between them. I think the chemistry on the 2nd lead couple is far better than the leading couple. Secondly the story is not compelling 'coz it goes round and round the bushes and finally in the end it goes back to zero basic.
My advise is unless you are a die-hard or hardcore fans of Jeremy Jones Xu or else you may skip this drama and spend your time watching other much worthy dramas.

Novoland: Eagle Flag
3 personnes ont trouvé cette critique utile
I have read many reviews saying that the ending of this drama is not completed as it just ended like that hanging in the air. After reading thru the link which I have provided above then I understand why this drama ended with hanging in the air. The reason is the original story itself was not completed by the author, Jiang Nan!
Anyway I was very very very impressed by this drama in every aspect from CGI, casting, landscaping, costumes and makeup. Everything looks superb and amazing. Not even one dragging scene as each episode comes and goes with different story. I am even more impress with the acting skill by those young and inexperience lead actors and actresses, as I have know that Liu Hao Ran is only in his 20's which has not much acting experience and same goes to Song Zu Er and Chen Ruo Xuan (he also acted in Novoland - Castle in the Sky as the genius who love to solve maze). All these young actors & actresses do not played main roles in drama series at this moment and this drama is a break thru for all of them to get a better exposure and acting experience. The romance in this drama too is very unique as you will find that the lead actress - Yu Ran do not fall for the lead actor - Lv Gui Cheng @ Asule but she falls for Ji Yeh instead! It's very rare in cdramas to find lead actress does not fall for lead actor and the other supporting actor has so many ladies falling for him.
If you have watched GOT then you will find similarities of this Novoland - Eagle Flag (minus the dragons from GOT). I hope to see the author, Jiang Nan continues to write this Novoland - Eagle Flag perhaps in sequels as originally this Novoland - Eagle Flag itself has 6 volumes of books. I hope to see more on Yu Ran - Wings Tribe, Princess Xiao Zhou who as becomes the Empress for the Eastern Land Capital how her roles evolves and Ji Ye if he hands over the Tianqu chief position back to Asule as Asule has pass this position to Ji Ye before he goes back to his grassland (Northern) and finally to see if Asule goes back to the Eastern Land Capital. Just keep my fingers cross that in future I get to see the continuation or sequel to this drama or else I will just be contented with the ending of this drama in this manner.

Easy, straightforward, less complicated & straightforward romance
Finished watching this drama in 3 days time. It's a short, less complicated, straightforward, less draggy & not too dry storyline. Each episode last around 30 mins hence for a total of 24 episodes it's easy to binge watching it.The ML who is Lord Ning is rather cute & cool as he has been living in the land with human for 500 years old while waiting for the little girl to return his dragon scale. The FL is a bit too loud & bold to me as she goes all the way to confess her feeling towards the ML whom initially given her a cold treatment. Then come episode 13 where if you skipped certain parts from episode 1 to 12 - it will give you a slight review on how the whole drama developed.
For a low budget drama - I feel this drama is considered rather good. The make up was not too overdo except the 2 dragon horns (lol) and the CGI effect e.g. the black dragon seems to look convincing too. The OST was also fine too but not something that I can remember after finish watching it.
Overall this drama is above average for me as I find this drama is easy to watch and not that heavy storyline or fully with misunderstanding after which leads to conflicts.

Unique storyline with Love & Redemption elements.
Finally finished watching The Wolf after 3 days binge watching it. Lol. This drama has a unique storyline which involved in a romance relationship between a guy who was brought up by wolves in a forest and a decent & happy go lucky girl. This drama show the transformation of their roles from an innocent Wolfie guy to a heartless, cold blooded & ruthless Bo Wang and same goes to the FL. End of the day both have one common thing which is both are kind and tried their best to repent on their wrong past deeds ~ Love & Redemption.For castings - the director managed to get the right person to act on their respective role e.g. Darren Wang Ta Lu to be the Wolfie & Bo Wang as he has that wild & strong persona looks. Same goes to Xiao Zhan who is the 2nd ML over here. No doubt his acting is on top-notch! A few supporting roles like the cute Ma Jing and steward in Qin palace who in charge of the 2nd ML needy things. Tbh I am not a fan of neither Darren Wang Ta Lu nor Xiao Zhan but credit has to be given to both as both managed to bring up their roles accordingly. As for the FL - Lee Qin - I am also not really into her acting but over here she too managed to pull her role well.
Storyline - As I have mentioned earlier it was a bit unique compared to the others cdramas. It was well paced - not too slow or draggy but there are certain repetitive scenes especially on the ML & FL roles. The palace political over here was not too dry as it did focus on the brotherhood relationship between Bo Wang with his 1st & 4th brother whom he loves a lot. Please bear in mind that the ML is not a royalty as he was being adopted by Emperor Yang @ Cui Kun to do his dirty business for him and in return he awarded the ML as his 3rd prince @ Bo Wang. As usual for every drama to be successful it needs to have romance or bromance either in triangle or ill fated ones. In this drama it has both elements. Example the FL has both ML & 2nd ML pursuing her and same goes to the ML who has the affection from FL & 2nd FL that is Princess Bao Na & Yao Ji who hate turned to love the ML at the end. It also involves with lots of roller-coaster emotional over here especially towards the middle of the story where the ML at one moment treated the FL so dearly and the next moment he breaks her heart (that one - you have to watch it for yourself as I am not going to spoil it over here).
Plots - As usual many misunderstanding that leads to conflict and hatred but at the end both ML & FL knew that both acted in that manner in order to save the person that they love & care dearly. Same goes to the 2nd ML who goes all the way to assist the FL to achieve her goals unfortunately the FL treated the 2nd ML as a good friend. Power struggling between Yang & Qing states which causes the FL & Ma Army Troop to take sides to Qing Emperor.
CGI effects & landscapes - I think cdramas has improved tremendously on these area compared to the earlier cdramas which we can see that certain CGI was so badly animated. Over here the wolves and certain landscaping was beautifully shown.
OST - For me I feel that for a drama to be long remembered by audience, OST especially the opening & closing OST played an important role here. Most people tends to listen to songs & recall songs related to their favourite dramas or movie. Over here I especially like the opening OST - "Wǒ shì shéi" (我是谁) sang by Jolin Tsai & rapped by Jony J which was an impactful one as it suits this drama.
Overall I rated it 9/10 even though it might not be everyone ideal ending but to me, I am fine with it. Since I am watching this drama without fully English subbing hence I might miss out certain points e.g. how did Bo Wang recover from his poison? Does the 2nd FL - Yao Ji did a blood transfusion between Bo Wang & Xing Er? It was not shown but later shown that Xing Er bloods turns in black colour same as Bo Wang blood which was being poison. Another facts that I cannot understand & accept was when did the FL becomes so strong & good in martial arts? She can fights & kill hundred of imperial guards in order to save the 4th Prince in the palace. That was my questions. If the scriptwriter refine it with a more logical or reasonable ending story then I will rate this drama with perfect score. To me it does not matter if a drama has good or sad ending as long as it is logical or reasonable unless if the story is a wuxia genre then I will give exemption to it.
So if you asked me if this drama is worth watching then I would highly recommend it but one have to prepare for lots of emotional ups & downs.

Another contract cum fake marriage turned true romance & marriage
This cdrama is very typical contract cum fake marriage between the ML & FL. The ML is very successful, good looking yet arrogant & bossy guy. The FL is as usual an average girl who tries to achieve her dreams as a fashion designer. In the midst both cross path & forced to be together.Pro's :-
1) The chemistry & sparks between the ML & FL are good.
2) If ones love romcom with high sugar & sweetness then this cdrama fits in this category.
3) Considered short with total of 24 episodes with average of 40 mins/episode.
4) This cdrama can be a filler while waiting for long ongoing cdramas.
5) The ending OST is very mesmerizing. I like this song & singer voice. Even the lyrics are very meaningful.
Con's :-
1) The supporting FL or 2nd FL - her role was really horrible. She can goes all the way trying to break the main couple relationship. This is the reason why I start to slow down watching it.
2) The supporting ML or 2nd ML - his role was too kind & understanding. Total very different from the 2nd FL role. Over here, he is being very supportive & caring towards FL. Even though he knew FL earlier than ML but he doesn't stand a chance to win over the FL heart compared to others cdramas which always featured ML knew the FL earlier.
3) The ML role from an arrogant & bossy role suddenly change 360 degree like a smitten kitty when he is falls head over heel for the FL. I feel ML should be himself & not transform to someone else due to deep love towards FL.
4) Then the 2nd couple that is ML bestfriend who is a player & falls in love with his staff. This couple chemistry is not as good as the main couple.
5) Even though this cdrama is considered short with total of 24 episodes it keeps on repeating on how FL was being harmed or framed for being together with the ML which I find it over-doing. Personally I don't know why the FL still choose to be with the ML when she has to go to hell & back relationship perhaps this is what we called dramatic.....
Overall this cdrama is watchable but if you were to ask if I would re-watch it then my answer is NO. I might Google search for the last OST song & listen to it repetitively but not re-watching the whole drama.

Self Discovery & Adventure Story
This drama is totally different from others fantasy cdramas. Why? This drama talks less on romance or do not have any skinship but more on self discovery & adventure.Over here few roles has 2 identities, one identity on their previous life & another new identity on their current life. That's why it is rather complicated & confusing at the beginning of this drama but if one can endure watching it till episode 10 onwards then one may see the development of each roles over here and how they are related to both the ML - Qin Lie @ Gong Mu Lie @ God of War & FL - Ling Yi Shi @ Wu Chun @ Mother Land
This story has a bit elements taken from Love & Redemption, Ashes of Love & The Legend of Awakening. So you can imagine how the whole story flow is going to be.
Since I am not going to spoil it over here, so I won't be revealing more on this drama. For those who has not watch it or plan to watch it. My advise is watch it if you like adventure & fantasy stories with less romance.
Hints : There is only a short romance between the 2nd ML - Du Shao Yang with 3rd FL - Tang Si Qi.
Fyi. from episode 25 onwards - I watched it in raw version which means no English subs but I still find it rather interesting so if you really want to enjoy this drama then please wait for it to fully subbed.
Since I did not read the anime or novel version hence I am not sure if this drama is going to continue with Season 2. But just be prepared for the ending of this drama as the ending = opening of a new chapter which I guess, there is a high chance of Season 2.
Pro's - Interesting storyline, great acting skills from these newbies (ML & FL), impressive CGI effects & even the voice dubbing is far better compared to others cdramas.
Con's - Ep.1 to 9 - seems slow & confusing, the volume for this drama is very soft (idk if I am the only one who is facing this problem as I need to switch on the volume to the max.), ending is like a bit rushing & OST does not seems to attract me.

High of sweetness & romance between ML & FL
I don't understand why am I still watching this drama as I don't really like the Season 1 but after reading reviews written by others then I give it a try.Tbh. I have nearly forgotten the Season 1 story except the ending part where the ML dies for the FL & the FL finally found her true love & comes out from the VR game but she does not want to come out of the VR games 'coz she too has fallen for the ML. So she has taken a decision to re-choose her option & save the ML & at the end the guy dressed in white attire whom has given the FL beading turned up to safe her. That's the end of Season 1.
Come Season 2 - atm I am still at episode 13 which I can see there are plentiful of skinship between the ML & FL . This time round both ML & FL keeps on bickering! ML lost his memory on the FL due to the poison he has consumed. 2nd ML that is Liu Xiu Wen comes back as a Prince which in the Season 1 he is supposed to be the FL bodyguard. 3rd ML - Jiang Xiang Yu still remains as a rich businessman and the 4th ML - the guy who wore white attire & safe the FL whenever the FL is in danger mode. No matter what happens the FL will always choose the ML which makes the 2nd ML envy & jealous. This time round the 2nd ML wants to take revenge against the ML & he will not back out.
Atm the story is quite predictable with lots of kissing between the ML & FL which is high in sweetness. If you are a person who love high sweetness with full of romance then this drama suits your taste or else like me, I watch due to the ML - Simon Gong & 2nd ML - Alan Fang. I hope Alan Fang get more leading role & better role as most of the time he always acted as 2nd ML which has sad ending like the drama Overload with Bai Lu.
Finally I have completed this drama in raw version, overall Season 2 is better than Season 1. Both ML & FL are has very good chemistry and if ones happy ending then this drama suits you. I think this drama may even extend to Season 3 but in modern era since it ended with modern era.

As the title has mentioned - Find Yourself is really suitable for this cdrama storyline as for a mature and independant lady/woman really needs to know what she is seeking for in a guy either a life partner or soul partner.
This story relates on the Asian Chinese single and mature lady hence it might not be applicable to Westerners single and mature lady as both has different culture, background, education, family brought up and friendship.
At the moment I feel this is one of the best modern cdramas which I have watched so far 'coz most modern cdramas have the concept of alien bf or gf or worst time travelling. Even though this is not really that good but based on this modern society and the increase of single and mature lady, I feel this story also touches on the concern and worries of how society accepting mature lady dating or marrying a much younger guy (age gap more than 5 years).
Overall the castings in this drama managed to bring up their roles very well especially Ye Lu Ming role how he goes after He Fang Xing and let go of her after much persuasion and effort put in. I remembered a line where Ye Lu Ming told He Fang Xing - "I am a businessman who if make an investment and does not has any ROI then I have no choice but to cut off this investment". Same goes to a relationship I have walked 99 steps and you just need to walk a step towards me and if you can't do it we call it a quit. Tbh. Ye Lu Ming is a good life partner 'coz he is mature, understandable, patience and most importantly financially stability. Whereas Yuan Song is like a soul partner a person who is young, vibrate, full of energy, romantic and financially he is still ok (his father's is Ye Lu Ming good friend & business associates).
If you are He Fang Xing who would you choose - life or soul partner? If you want to know the answer to this cdrama then I strongly suggest you to watch it. Every episode is rather interesting and funny except the final episode even though it's a happy ending.

I am not going to spoil the story as the title of this drama has mentioned it clearly "Well Intended Love".
What I can said is this drama is really very funny from episode 1 till 10 then from episode 11 onward it starts to get serious and that is the time the female lead, Xia Lin knew the male lead, Old Ling aka her contractual husband has arranged to trick and trap her into this contract marriage.
I am rather surprised to see there are many skin-ship involved in this drama which are very cheesy and I really saluted both ML & FL for being able to bring up these cheesy moments.
The side casting example Xia Lin good friend and Wen Li relationship and Yan Chou were rather cute and adorable. It's like the decoration on top of a birthday.
Overall this story is quite predictable and if you like rom-com this drama is for you.
As for me it's just an average drama 'coz it's not logic but entertaining.
Even the OST for this drama is just average.
One thing for sure is it has happy ending! Lol..........

Everything in LYX is fine except few things as followings :-
1) ML role - Zhang Zhe Han acting skills is super stiff or wooden over here. Idk if it's due to that role he is acting or he doesn't have the acting skills. Most of the time he was like staring at empty space in this drama.
2) The ending is like meh or huh..........it is a waste this drama starts off well but ends abruptly. I am not going to comment further on this as you may watch & find it yourself.
3) As usual this cdrama always shown repetitive scenes like keeps on flashing back on the past events between the ML & FL or the FL with the 2nd ML.
Other than the above mentioned points if compared to TBRP, this drama spins off better & no wonder fans of ML & FL couples are looking forward to TBRP. My advise is if you are a great fans of ML & FL of LYX then by all means proceed to watch TBRP or else you may drop it.
Finally, I really feel sad the 2nd ML - Merxat Yalkun always ends up getting a sad ending role. I think it's time for him to get a better ending role than those sad ending & supporting roles.

Parallel Love?
This is a story of another time travelling concept but this time the FL goes back 10 years ago from Year 2020 back to 2010 and not the ancient time or wuxia period. Actually I don't fancy watching time travelling drama but due to Li Hong Yi, I decided to give myself a chance to watch it. This drama surprisingly has quite interesting story. At least the FL & 2nd FL don't go chasing after the ML like a mad lady and neither of them being too loud too.In this drama you may see the development of ML @ Jiao Yao role from an irresponsible person to a mature & responsible guy. All this thanks to the future FL @ Lin Miao who slowly transform him and eventually both fall for each other. One thing I notice on this drama is the Jiao Yao faces endless obstacles one after another regardless how much efforts he has put in yet he faces challenges but with Lin Miao by his side he faces all of these challenges bravely and smartly.
This is a romcom story with a total of 24 episodes so I don't have too high expectation on it. Only thing is the ending was a bit rushing like they want to just end it very fast. Anyway if you are into happy ending and romcom drama especially if one likes time travelling story then this one might suit your taste.
Overall the castings over here are okay and another thing is the songs featured in this drama seems to sound like Korean songs but sang in Chinese language. Lol
