One of the better mini dramas out there

Sometimes it is a hit or miss on these mini dramas. This one was a hit for me. It did not hurt that the ML was definitely eye candy and boy can he kiss! lol that said… overall it was well done both in storyline and acting.

Storyline - I honestly thought it was perfectly done. Might have could used a bit of work but overall it is one of the best mini dramas. It had drama, a bit of mystery, intrigue, and best of all… romance! I wanted to jump to the end to find out what happens with the Leads but the story kept me grounded to complete it all. I like that. Most dramas I skip parts/episodes because they have a lot of filler. This one not so much.

I liked the way the two “sisters” ended on a good note. The adopted sister was not really bad just miss guided. I like that the ML did not really give up on the FL and she had brains enough to figure out he was not really as bad of a guy as she thought he was at first. Their encounters were funny at times and melted your heart at others. Great storyline. Was a bit different and unique in some ways.

Acting/Cast - I really liked the ML’s. They had good chemistry and made their parts theirs. They did a great job. Like I said before, the ML was not bad to watch lol. But I liked his acting the most. He did a good job. Hope to see him in more dramas.

Rewatch - Yes! I will put this on my top faves! It is a good mini!

Was not what I expected but I liked this plot

The plot to this one was a bit unique from all the CDramas I have watched (that is a lot). If it is the same as another one then I have not seen it yet. It was based around the children and their “parents”. I loved watching the story of the “parents and kids” unfold. It was different for me and I liked it a lot!

Storyline - The plot was not bad. It ran smooth for me. I felt it was well done. I think I marked the storyline down 5% because the Fl was ticking me off about how she could not get over why he married her. I get it… I do! But even when he poured his heart out to her she still had thoughts of leaving him. I wanted to smack the writers. She really was not very bright in that she listened to a guy who tried to destroy her family with his lies. She was a bit blinded. I understand she wanted to know the truth about her sister and her death. I was glad to find that her sister was really to blame and not his family. I also give high praise to the writers for not making her feel episodes of guilt for how her sister tried to extort money from them through blackmail. Thank goodness it was not dragged out… like her not wanting to get over why he first married her. Those episodes ticked me off. Especially when she let the little boy chase her and she would not stop! Really??? So heartless! I could never have done that. Sit down and talk it out! Be a grown up! Don’t tear the kids apart because you are being dumb! Ok! I am done with my little rant.

That said… I really liked the story. It did not end the way I thought at first or midway through. I liked that it kept my interest. It was well done for my taste.

Acting/Cast - love love love them all! The main leads and the support were wonderful to watch! I loved how she became friends with the fist rival, Tong Luo Qi. They made me laugh often! All the cast did great! And those kids were stinking cute!! Oh my gosh! What good little actors! They had my heart from the start!

Rewatch - YES! I loved this one! The plot was great! So was the acting! Even with my hang ups (listed in the storyline) I liked this one and would watch again.

Yes, domineering MIL but it turned out good!

It was long but was not that bad. Acting was good. Story was good. Yes, it had a mother-in-law who was controlling but it turned out good. You would have to watch it for yourself.

Storyline - was not bad. It had a lot of heart and a lot of real life feel to it. The mother-in-law came around and I absolutely LOVED how the son and daughter-in-law handled her. They were not rude but they did deal with her with wisdom.

At first I did want to punch the ML. He never put the one he truly loved first. His friend (who was a girl and she was in love with him but he was never in love with her) took the front seat in his life a few times. I wanted to smack him. I loved how his family came around to the FL and supported her when he went off to help the “friend” recover from her bad accident. It turned out great. Just watch it once to get your own opinion.

Acting/Cast - the FL was phenomenal! When the ML found out the boy of the FL was really his (he thought the boy was another man’s child) and took it out on her… that scene was powerful! I loved that she stood up to him and let him know how stupid he was and how she felt waiting for him (basically waited for him to man up) all those years to come back to her. She struggled yet still loved him and supported him and did an amazing job raising their son. It was really well done. She was amazing. The cast was great even the mother-in-law.

Rewatch - it depends. I am not one to get into the really long 40+ episode dramas. But I might watch this again. Honestly if I do it would be to see the FL and the scene I mentioned above.

Was ok. Definitely NOT a favorite of mine.

It is worth at let’s one watch. Would I watch it again? Probably but it would be a very long time before I do. It was really not that great… here is why…
(These are my opinions and pet peeves about this drama and others like it. Watch it at least once to get your own view on it).

Storyline - sorry this is going to give spoilers.

1. I am sorry but I would never marry someone who says their baby is mine when I don’t remember a thing the night it was supposed to have happened. I am a very conservative person so that coming from me is not great lol. But honestly I would wait till the baby is born and a DNA test done before I marry anyone! Give me proof it is mine. So many of these dramas are like the opposite of this. “I will marry you and believe the baby is mine, even though I love someone else.” I don’t want an ultra sound to prove the baby is there or not! I want actual DNA and I will be 100% present through the hole process so there is no lying and cheating or swapping DNA. The men in these dramas need to grew some brains! I wish they would write at least one guy that stood up for hisself and got actual real proof and none of this cheating the tests and believing what the woman says.

2. So she (the FL) “indirectly” killed his parents. It was really no one’s fault not even hers. It was an accident. So you’re going to hold a grudge against someone you love because of that? And the grandfather is going to hold a young person accountable for it? Truth be told the mother is to blame for over correcting her steering. She is the one that killed them.

I guess I think way differently than most people but common sense would play a huge part in it for me if I was in these situations. I know I am totally knit picking this drama apart but it is a hard one for me to get past these things because logic would play a huge part and stop a whole lot of yelling, fighting, lying, and crying. Other than those points it was ok.

Acting/Cast - they did an all right job. Not bad. I would probably look a few of them up and watch another of their dramas they are in.

Rewatch - maybe if I am really wanting to see it again other than that probably not.

I. Love. This. Drama!

I normally do not write reviews anymore on dramas that have a truckload of reviews already… but I just have to for this one! This was so cute! I laughed (and cried a bit) through the entire drama! It was really good and very well done!

Storyline - was perfect! Well written and well executed. Could not have been better… at least for me. It was funny and had some heart to it. I did not skip a thing! I loved that they made the FL tough. Not some wimp who gives into everything and what people say. The only time she did that was…well not going to tell you. You’re just going to have to watch it for yourself!

Acting/Cast - I loved them all right down the the silent director! He was funny! But I really liked the FL. She did a great job. Ahh what am I saying… they all did. Just watch it!

Rewatch - duh! It was one of the best kdramas I have seen in a while. At the top of my must watch again list.

Another not to bad bite size drama

This was a cute story if not a bit like all other CDramas. As the other reviewer said it was a bit cliché… but I watched the entire drama and it turned out good.

Storyline - was about the same as most CDramas… two rich boys love a poor girl… one mean spoilt prima Donna that tries to ruin the poor girl. At least she turned out nicer than most mean girls. It was not too bad done though.

Actin/Cast - did a good job. Liked them esp the leads.

Rewatch - probably later down the road I will watch it again. It was not my most favorite but it was cute.

Another good short drama

This was short and sweet and I liked it. I do have to agree with one of the other reviewers that the ML was a coward. But all in all, I do like this mini drama.

Storyline - I really liked this story. Other than what I posted above, I thought it was good. I won’t give any spoilers but I can tell you I knew exactly who kissed her from the beginning. The signs were there but she ran in circles trying to figure out who it was. This reminds me of a web drama sort of similar, but this one I liked better.

Acting/Cast - I loved the FL! She cracked me up. I thought she did a great job in playing a bit of a ditzy girl when it came to love. I really liked her. She honestly made the whole show. The other cast was great also.

Rewatch - yep! I sure will. It was short and sweet and perfect for me.

Don’t waist the 43 minutes to watch this!

Can I have those 43 minutes of my life back? Dang it no! Don’t waste time watching this!

Storyline - bad Bad BAD! It was chopped up and parts made no sense. It was NOT a very good script! I cannot believe they even finished making it. The ending was stupid! She sleeps with him and leaves him and raises their child alone???? What the heck!? The amnesia part was whack! I get her wanting revenge but it was stupid how they “solved” it.

Acting - not that great! I did not like the script they were given and I hope that if I see them in a future drama they do a better job.

Music - some of it was borrowed from other dramas like “Master’s Sun” (great drama by the way). But it was chopped off in a lot of places. The music did not flow at all.

Rewatch - oh heavens NO! Just glad I got it out of the way.

Was a true to life dysfunctional family story

I normally do not watch these kinds of dramas. Not sure why, I just don’t. But this one caught my attention and it was really good.

Storyline - shows the lives of a dysfunctional family. I wanted to smack the mom around a lot. I have a hard time understanding mothers that treat their daughters (or any of their children) the way she did. But I have seen it in real life happen. I am glad it turned out better and in the end the kids became close and no longer blamed or treated each other with hostility. Was a rocky road but all is well that ends well.

Storyline was well written. Very well done. I really liked how it all came together and showed how everyone over came their prejudice towards each other and their father.

Acting/Cast - Was really well done. They did a great job and showed real emotion.

Rewatch - for me? I might but not sure when if ever. Some shows I just like to watch once and leave it at that. For me it is not one to watch over and over. But at least watch it once.

Was not what I expected but in a great way!

I was pleasantly surprised with this drama. Reading the synopsis can fool you. It starts out as a light and fluffy drama and then turns to an action drama full of suspense, thrills, and laughs. I could not stop watching it until the very end!

Storyline - was a shock to me but in a great way. I was expecting another fluff and stuff drama but got one full of twists and turns. I WAS going to type spoilers but you know what? Go watch it for your self! It is a really well made drama and keeps your interest throughout the entire thing!

Acting/Cast - awesome! All of them did a great job! I really like all the main cast and will watch more dramas with them in it.

Rewatch - yes, yes, YES! Full of romance, twists and turns, and laughs. Well worth it!

It was a cute, short drama but…

This drama was cute and short… two of my favorite things in a drama. However the storyline lacked. Parts of it ticked me off the way they write in the ML’s part. I will explain…

Storyline - it was straight forward but there were parts I had a hard time wrapping my head around. Like… why, Why, WHY??? Do they always make it so the guys are not straight and to the point with another woman?? I mean come on!!! He should have told her when she insisted on staying at his place that he would leave instead then went straight to his “sort of girlfriend” and told her what was happening. I mean come on! And the sad thing is most dramas (whether Asian, American or wherever) are like this! They make the ML dumb when it comes to other women and their “charms” or manipulations. I wish this drama had a ML/FL that actually communicated. The FL should have also sat down and REALLY listened to him. Also, when he found out she was stalking his girl he should have went straight to the police because you know she would never really give up just like that. That woman was pure evil! When she told him she wanted to stay by his side and he said “no he had someone already” I was shocked in the next scene she was with him dropping off his cat! And hanging on his arm no less! He did nothing!!! Really???? Ok I am done. Other than those things I really did like the drama. It was not all that bad. I thought her communication with the cat was fun. I think they overdid her reaction to finding out the cat “talked” to her. This day in age I would have been like, “I can talk to my cat!!! This is awesome!!!” Especially if it meant me getting a hot guy lol. The cat was a snob just like I know a Persian, Siamese, or any one of those cats can be. (I know I had a Siamese for 19 yrs. My best bud and one of a kind, smart as hell, but a snob to anyone but me! Lol)

Acting/Cast - I liked all of them. I think they did a great job. Even the villainess made me hate her so I think she did a good job on her roll.

Rewatch - ya… I would it was not all that bad. Just me picking apart parts of the story. Not all dramas/movies are perfect.

Cute and short

This was a cute short drama. That I liked. I can only find it on YouTube and the sound issues were really bad! But I got through it and I will put it as a rewatch.

Storyline - I actually liked. But it felt chopped up at only 2-4 minutes per episode. Other than that I thought it made for a sweet, short, kind of cheesy romance. Just wish the sound was better and it had a bit more to the storyline.

Actin/Cast - I thought they did well for what it was. The “Dad/Uncle” and his mistresses acting was a bit off for me. I think they needed to explain that whole situation better but I caught on to what was happening in the first few episodes. The main leads did a good job. I will have to look for more of them in the future.

Music - well… did not hear much of it due to the poor sound issues so I really cannot say if it was any good.

Rewatch - yes, I would because I am a sucker for the bite size romances when I am tired of the really long ones and want something fast to watch. I will keep looking for a better copy of it.

Very simple yet perfect

Great show over all! Was simple and straight forward. No big problems with family and so on. More to real life than most dramas.

Storyline - simple but perfect in every way. Has the right amount of romance and worry that they might not make it together. I liked that they worked out their problems instead of running away from them. There was no parents who were overbearing and controlling. Was just like reading a good romance novel. And I liked it all.

Acting/Cast - I watched Lin Yi’s first drama, “Put Your Head on my Shoulder” and loved it!!! He has grown a lot and is a good actor! I loved him in this on also! Will be watching more dramas he is in in the future. Xu Lu was great also. I have watched several of her dramas. She did really good in this one.

Music - loved it all. Hope to find the soundtrack soon!

Rewatch - YES! It was a perfect romance… no anxiety in watching it lol.

Fantastic drama

I have a sub to Viki and this show made me get a sub to IQIYI! Dang it! I knew from the trailer this is a show to watch! It sort of reminds me of “Someone Like You”.

Storyline - a bit slow but I liked it. I took a break before they broke up because I did not want to see them break up. Glad they did in a way because I think when they finally got back together they were more mature. Just wish they would write it in that she did not turn him down so much. But I did like it and it is one I would watch once or twice a year. Love the ending. Gave you a lot to enjoy and closed off good. I was a bit shocked how they kind of threw in the story of the friend dying and then she had a physiological problem with thinking her friend was still alive…hmm it was weird how they ended it. It was almost like an afterthought. That is my only hang up for this drama. So I gave the storyline 9.5/10 because they could have spent time in ending it better. Or just not have put it in at all.

Acting/Cast - loved both leads! They both did really well. All others did really well also.

Music - the music is fantastic! I loved it all! Hope the soundtrack comes out on Amazon soon because I will be buying it!

Rewatch - YES! I loved this story. It was a bit different from most dramas. Like I said above it will be one I watch once or twice a year!
