Hotel intern meets boss of the hotel

This drama does deserve to be rated that low! to be honest it was a decent watch .I really liked the first half of the story . Not a fan so much of the later 9 episodes.

Storyline: Female lead is an hotel intern/trainee. She has a three months probation, and she gets sent to different departments like the guest services, culinary etc. The male lead is the son who owns the hotel. He is sent to help out the hotel who is in trouble. The backstory is there is this mysterious lady who has been trying to buy the hotel for a low price. Through a series on incidents she tries to ruin the reputation /make the hotel close down. The story line gives a decent and fresh perspective and some of the things that they might run into while they are working in a hotel. Male lead gets attracted to female lead due to her persistent, and optimistic personality. Female lead falls in love with male lead because he is always there for her.

Romance: They're romance is acceptable, but not the best chemistry. Doesnt give me the tingly feeling in the heart. Have some cute scenes.

There is definitely focus of romance in the story , its almost the second main factor in the story. With the hotel and dealing with clients, tp dealing with the staff and hardships of the hotel being the main focus.

I didn't like the story development pass episode 15 because i felt it was developing smoothly. I mean the mysterious lady is finally revealed! and she does what she can to try to sabotage female lead and male lead relationship. At this the the female lead doesnt believe in the male lead, some riffs in their relationship...... it then becomes some hat of a roller coaster.... ups and downs but for the relationship and the hotel.

It has an happy ending, its a little too sweet and unrealistic. but overall a decent watch !!

I absolutely adore the female leads personality, She is hecka quirky, loud, proud and stands up for herself , takes no sh*t from nobody. She was the main reason why this drama was enjoyable because it was full of laughter lol.

Female lead background comes from a family of doctors. When she was young her whole family gets massacred and she remains alive. She grows up with a family that takes her in. She has a not related by blood sister. The sister ends up going to the palace in place for her benefactor's daughter. ( who eloped with her loved one) Female lead follows and works in the kitchen as a maid. The sister became a concubine of the emperor. The male lead is an imperial guard. They have a bickering relationship. Because of thee female lead identity, she gets in danger a lot. There are some people who want to get rid of her, and of course the main lead saves her. They gradually fall in love. Her personality is seriously so funny. As a maid you will get punished for doing something wrong. She ends up hitting the people who want to hit her. Dang she has the guts to do so !! Due to evil people scheming, she and her concubine sister gets banished to work on a royal burial site. The female lead learns about medicine and helps the village get through a pandemic.

Romance; Their romance is pretty cute. I like how the main lead always protects her. He's alway the one to initiate the kisses. Their kisses are sweet and with believeable chemistry :)

I didnt like the end as much... maybe because I had to wait like a whole week for the last ep lol. didnt like the fact that her sister turned evil.... but still the female leads saves her. It was sad that she found out the person who killed her family was the male lead's dad. After saving her sister, then it ended abruptly without any explanation. That is why its 9 /10. but overall a good watch !

First of all this was filmed in 2017... This drama if it werent for the Li yi tong and Lu yi, i couldnt get through it... and which i barely got through.... dont like this drama... storyline sucks..

Female lead is the daughter of the Xia corporation. She is rich, pretty, smart. In her high school years she befriends Su Mo ( aka bitchy bf), and Ling Xiang An ( second lead?) whom she had a crush on. Of course the second lead only has eyes for the white lotus Su mo. At that time su mo already had a bf which was the male lead. Due to the male lead's family disapproval, the second female lead Su mo takes the money of the male lead mom's and goes to university in United Kingdom. Second male lead decides to go with his white lotus ( second female lead) to United Kingdom. During this time the female lead goes to United Kingdom to find her mom. The phone number that she though was the mom's was the male lead ( lol what a surprise) Thus beginning their friendship. They go through their 4 years together in United Kingdom and decides to go back to China to find her mother and get revenge on the mistress of her dad. The mistress has been trying to get rid of the female lead, trying to cut all money ties and tries to take over the company.
Long story short , male lead slowly falls in love with the female lead.. but the ex gets in their way aka the lu cha biao Su mo.

The story is not developed well and there are quite a few annoying characters!
1) Su mo ( who was suppose to be the female lead's best friend.... but was always jealous of the female lead for having the perfect life) Su mo gets int the way of the two lead's relationship, when she already has a fiancee. What a bitch !!
2) Lin Xiang An ( the crush of the female lead when she was young) He only has eyes for Su mo, and never saw how good the female lead was. His character is of nuisance, and annoying.
3) evil mistress wanna be step mom.... such a despicable character and conniving. Trying to do too much to interfere between the relationship of the female lead and her dad.

The sweet moments of the leads were not enough. They were literally always bickering than being in love.lol I guessed right about when they would be together,, more than half way of the drama... predictable...

sighs... not my fave drama...arghh but i love lu yi and li yitong tho :(

Seemed interesting... but fell short

I really wanted to like this drama! but couldnt. It had such potential and seemed kinda cute,, why did they ruin in ?

Female lead has a super taste what wine she has drank before she'll remember it. She is trying to be a wine taster/ recommender at this company name Anda. She takes may blind taste test and wins but is always blocked my the third female lead. They never liked each other. The third female lead never liked the female lead. The male lead has a very strange disease/disorder which his symptoms gets better when the female lead kisses him. He tries to do what he can to pursue her, be her neighbor etc. The male lead never told the female lead his true identity ( being the ceo of Anda company). The male lead has a younger brother. The younger brother is pretty famous in the wine industry. He holds a grudge against his family due to a car accident while he was young. The younger brother becomes the female lead's teacher.

There is just way too many misunderstanding between the leads. It suppose to be a sweet drama since, they kiss so many times! but its not... no chemistry at all..

Few reasons why it flopped

1) FL AND ML didnt have enough chemistry
2) Annoying/evil third female lead character constantly sabotaging.
3) Annoying younger brother
4) male lead is not honest enough in the relationship
5) female lead is too naive

DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS DRAMA, ITS NOT ABOUT ROMANCE...

PLEASE DONT BOTHER WITH THIS DRAMA, WHOEVER WROTE THE STORYLINE NEEDS TO GER FIRED THIS IS THE MOST DAMN CONFUSING DRAMA EVER LOL ! it starts off which some potential and sounds interesting... Like alien male lead is on a mission to bring back the stone from his planet and a fellow member from his planet. The female lead is a young, naive who interest is drawing manga. She initally believes the male lead came out from her manga... but the male lead is not from the manga but indeed an alien. Basically it talks about there encounter, but he kidnaps her first and totrures her.
The female lead is just loud and annoying.

The second male lead is the other member from the planet and he is evil ? I mean he tries to kill the female lead to get the stone of her. The only way that the stone can be taken is if she was killed. Then it somehow links to the past of the female lead. Her dad died in a fire a long time ago. I forgot to mention each alien has a distinct power. Male lead can control minds, the second male lead can form to any body. So basically the female lead loses her memory when she was young due to the male lead, saving her from the fire. Once he gets in touch with fire, he starts to lose his powers and starts to become transparent.

This drama DOES NOT do a good job in explaining whats happening and the motives. She finally understands the male lead is trying to protect her in like the 19 episodes.... The story unfolds weirdly. SO PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR TIME.

BARELY ANY ROMANCE

Time travel to a universe where you become the step mom

First of all i really like the actress. This is a mini drama with 24 episode that is around 10 mins each . Female lead is an actress and while she is reading her script in the bus she gets transported to another time because of a supermoon. She ends up being the step mom of the Li family. She has three step children, the oldest is a boy and two girls. She is the sole provider for the three kids and they learn to trust each other. The female lead is faced with annoying and scheming relatives trying to take advantage of the female lead and the three kids. The female lead is a bad ass because she was an martial artist actress. She stands up and defends her. and her children .No matter what the evil relatives do they dont prevail. I like that it brings comedy and humor.

There isnt much romance so dont expect it, but that is not the focus of the drama.

Recommend this drama :) give it a try

Boy Band and the conspiracy behind it all, meets love

This drama definitely exceed my expectation. I thought its your average drama about idols but its more than that.

Setting: There is an AI game called Loveboys. This game has four personality of guys which you could date. You put on the glasses /contacts and your boyfriend shows up. The founder is named Xu Guang han ( played by Ming dao). He created these 4 AI boyfriends aka Y4. This game has been a hit with the ladies in the society. Of course there will be some people who are against it saying the harm that it will cause to society. One person who stands against is the second female lead.

Female lead is a simple but smart gal who accidentally saves a granny. Female lead pays for the granny's medical bill and she is broke. The granny tells the female lead to help her work and she'll pay back the money to the female lead. Turns out the granny is the housekeeper in the big house of the 4 idols. They are actually living human beings! Xu Guang han has been lying to everyone saying they are AI characters. The female lead develops a friendship with the four and later love with the male lead. Eventually her housekeeping identity gets found out. Xu guang han of course doesnt want anyone to know of the 4 idols existence,

I forgot to say the granny is actually the aunt of Xu Guang han. She is the mastermind behind trying to save the four idols. She even creates a secret passage way to get in and out of the big house ( name of the underground house that the four idols are in)
But of course soon or later Xu Guang han catches on! The four tries to expose Xu guang han's true face and he exploited the four idols!

There are two plot twist that are so good! I dont want to spoil it here so go watch for yourself!

The mystery behind the 12 curses of Li Nan

Didn't have high hopes for this drama, this drama was ok in my books. It started off pretty interesting but got slightly boring towards the end. If you are looking for romance this is not the drama for you. This genre is more like mystery 85%, romance 15%.

The male lead is Lin Nan, he is a famous photographer that everyone wants to work with but he is stuck up and cocky. After one car accident he finds himself becoming a child at 6pm. He finds out later that this is because he offended many people and they decided to curse him. He has 100 days to unlock/ have the people who hate him forgive him. The female lead is also named Lin Nan, because she has the same name and was born on the same day, she gets cursed as well. She becomes a little girl during the day and goes back to her regular self at night. Male lead is a grown up during the day and a boy at night. The female lead finds him and they investigate and try to find all the people who cursed him. There is a website that has the clues for all the people who cursed him. They need to bring an object that is related to both them and Lin Nan.
As the first couple of stories go its pretty interesting, it gets pretty repetitive after several stories. These people are from his past and they randomly portray the stories of their encounters with Lin Nan. A lot of them were miscommunications or best friend's fault. If the 12 curses was more on a timeline , like from middle school/ high school working its way up , maybe it'll be better.

I can't stand the male lead 's hair. Its hideous! Also his acting is slightly exaggerated, which is part of his character. At some points he became very annoying.

Between the female and male lead there are two kisses but they are close to the end. Thank God it was only 20 eps, any longer and i would have needed to drop!

And the witch character is s gross, always see her spitting out sunflower seed shells !!! Also the supposed last curse was suppose to be the finale curse, but that story was such a let down!

Overall its acceptable. watch it if you dont have anything else to watch.... haha

Sweet, pure, romance of two deskmate

This drama is 24 episodes, but each episode isa round 10- 13 minutes long. This drama definitely is really light hearted, and refreshing. I absoutely loved it.

Let's talk about how pure and sweet this drama was. Although there isnt any kissing , but you can feel their chemistry and relationship. It's pure and puppy dog love like. There isnt anything too complicated. There definitely are heart beating moments. Its a little cliche ,but still very sweet and touching.

Female lead is 17 years old. The male lead transfers from another high school. He is portrayed as cool and not really caring about school . Female lead is cute in stature , hardworking but not good at math. This drama is some snippets of what happens during school, like studying for exams, people stealing the class money, every day situation in the classes. It feel really down to earth. I don't know why people give it such a low rating. This drama for once was one that i didnt need the male lead to say " be my girlfriend , or lets be together". They kinda were naturally together and even had the ai mei feel >_<. Its sad that he had to leave, and not see her for ten years, ( that the cliche bit of the story)

I shed some tears in the last episode, where she walks down memory lane and says good bye to her pass and the memories of her deskmate.

Not to mention two of the ost/songs are very catching and is very fitting for this drama! definitely worth listening to and watching this drama. Because this drama was so short, there isnt the need to skip over a lot of parts.

Mulan warrior meets prince !!!

This drama is about the female lead who disguises as her twin brother, because she is the daughter of a powerful general and her twin brother died when he was young, hence no one to carry on the name. Thus forcing her to dress like a man.

The female lead dresses as a man. Of all the people that play gender bender, she was believeable. Often time the female lead is too pretty to play a male, and i'm like the people who cant see she is a female is obviously dumb lol. She is beliveable because of her thick eyebrows >_<. I really really adore the female lead character because she is smart, loyal, brave like mulan. Initially she acts like she is dumb and lustful so that she wouldn't have to side with one of the princes. Because her family has an army, everyone wants to get her family on their side.

At the school she attends , she meets the male lead aka fifth prince, and the second male lead aka bad guy's son. She doesnt want to side with the prince and acts dumb. The bad guy's son initially doesnt like the female lead and often picks fights with her. Slowly the 5th prince falls in love with her, at one point he thinks he gay lol. He ends up finding out she is a girl and is relieved. Around the same time the second male lead also finds out she is a girl.

Romance: I like the romance between the 5th prince and female lead. He loves her unconditionally. and supports her, wanting to one day marry her and reclaim her female status, so she doesn't have to live like a guy. Their chemistry is pretty good too. Cute kissing scenes , although not too many. ( wanted more>_<)

Ending; I just really did not like how it led up and ended. I am totally expecting a season two because, it definitely left us hanging. The last two episodes were like wth ??? like why you gotta frame my 5th prince for something he didnt do , which made the female lead hate the prince. There's no need :( thats why i lowered it to 9. it just frustrated me so much... like why... why? honestly no need for that..... sighs....

Cute story of friendship and love blossoms :)

Love this drama. such a cute , short and simple story of about five friends who grew up together. It talks about them going through life in high school, talks about family. Another plus for me is that it was set back in the 2007/2008 which was around my high school time. it made me reminisce / wish my high school times were like this/ had the friends to do stuff with :(

16 episodes was definitely the perfect amount. The whole was really cute and light hearted and did not drag at all. The female lead is super cute ! she looks like shen yue ( chinese actress) . Her personality is quirky, loud, and cute. She and the male lead are a bickering couple. They fall for each other towards the end. Its amazing to see such a close knit friendship between the five. It talks about them going through life in high school, going through exams, celebrating holidays, coping with a loved one, reunion of family member, and along the end with some romance.

The male lead and female lead chemistry is so good. they are such a cute bickering couple, always yelling at each other/ fighting with each other. lol that is how their relationship blossoms. Although the main part of this drama isnt the romance, there were still really cute romantic scenes at the last ep.

One regret of the story was how one of the other friend also likes their other friend but their story never got any further plot development. :(

I would totally recommend watching :)

Fairy mixed with Wuxia

It honestly started out really strong and really enjoyed it.. but towards the end it just felt outta place. I'm disappointed as to how the plot develops and at the end quickly tries to wrap it up with an happy ending for everyone.

Story: The beginning and middle of the story was actually really intriguing. The female lead is the holy priest of the Kun Lun tribe. The male lead doesn't know his identity because he has forgotten, but his identity now is the protector of the seal of the human tribe. Basically a long time ago the human tribe sealed the king of Kun lun. There is a ten years saying that someone will unlock the seal in ten years. Female lead disguises herself to try to get into the school of the humans. Whats kinda funny is that the school trains you to uses magic/ powers. To me, it gives off a harry potter vibes mixed with fairy/deity/ wuxia. The male lead Xu kai is portrayed as a bad boy. Of course the female and male lead fall in love with her each. The female lead main goal is to find the key/badge to unlock the Kun Lun king. She never really tells the male lead her true identity

Whats interesting is the times when they fight and use their powers against people who has been locked under seal. Also different parts of the school has different people who are locked or seal in there , in which they have to overcome those obstacles.

Now to the part I didnt like..... all this time the male lead is falling head over heals with female lead, but she never really trusts him to open up to him. the miscommunication/no communication causes a lot of problem and unnesscary plot, which resulted in hurting the male lead.
Also another thing is that the Kun lun king is under a seal/locked away but his inner demon spirit is inside one of the students inside the academy. ( he doesnt have much magic/powers) So basically the last 5-8 episode is around him.....

Also another part thats like....?? they have this character who cross dress, a girl but dresses as a boy. " he " is the second prince to the human world. He also goes to the academy. He doesnt like his brother the first prince.. "He" gets a little plot development... like how the male lead discovers he is actually a girl, and that she likes him... honestly a waste of time might of last like couple episodes..

Romance; I believed their romance. It was cute and sweet. It was not always kissing scenes, but I like the scenes they were together to develop their relationship. When there was kissing scenes , it was believable. Female lead is very cute , main lead is handsome . But i have to say the Prince Mu is the most handsome ( He is a prince from the desert? )

Besides those plot holes ... it was a good watch. I would of like to see the female lead come clean about her motives and see how the male lead would of helped her . Also it would of been better if there more fighting scenes like battling different creatures.

Wolf in sheep skin and sheep in wolf's skin

THIS WAS A DRAMA I WAS ANTICIPATING! MAJOR LETDOWN ! whyyy.. did they only make it 10 minutes long for each episode.... It made it so the drama was kinda choppy. This is more ranting than review...

1) They trick us in thinking the female lead was smart.. In fact she is stupid and useless. She doesnt even know who the real culprit is behind her family's killing. She thinks its the male lead and tries to kill him countless times. She believes in random evidence framing male lead.
2) The evil character overshadowed. He was too crazy and sinister. They gave him too much limelight. Some scenes went over...
3) They portray the male lead as cold and ruthless, overbearing. He did so much for the female lead and loved her. He never explained himself... or his actions behind it
4) They gave soooooo little time for the leads to develop a relationship ( well maybe because it was based off hate) but then its like she suddenly fell in love.

The only plus was the male lead. He is such eye candy and has a hot bod! haha please cast him in more lead roles!

I felt tbis drama could of have a lot of potential. The summary sounded really good but in reality it was just lacking...
1) I thought , cool time traveling ... but the story I feel gets sucks for most of the drama and its only 24 episode..

It just mostly focused on when the male lead travel back in time to save the female lead... I didn't really feel the chemistry between the female and male lead. . ( if you want to see a school drama/ good chemistry between the lead i highly recommend the best if you in my mind) There isnt any kissing expect a peck on the cheek ( lol in last ep)

The story just felt like it was stuck on everyday school, which leaded up to the day the female lead was "supposedly going to die" . It really only picked up at the last few episodes. They make it so mysterious as how she was supposed to be dead.... The thing with her best friend traveling back in time to save her??? .....

Towards the end i was touched by what the male lead did ( wont spoil anymore )

I loved the ending song!!!

I would only watch if you have a lot of time of your hand... but i definitely would not rewatch. I almost dropped the drama because it was going too slow.....
