SO FAR A GREAT REBOOT

I was a bit sceptic but mostly excited about this show. I was scared they were gonna stray away from the original vibe, but so far, it brings back so many references and memories from the original show. I laughed so hard, just as I did with Bong-soon. So far, I'm loving every second, and can't wait for the rest of the episodes. Casting is great, newer actors are included which is expected since that was the case with Bong-soon aswell. Excited for Byeon Woo-seok as the villain, we were used to seeing him as this sweet, loving guy, so this is a great change. I know Lee Yoo-mi from 'All of us are dead' and it'll be great to see her as this complete opposite. I'm loving the overall feminist vibe, it has gotten even more noticable in this show. Also, I'm so, so, so excited for cameo of our favourite Bong Bong & Min Min couple.

So far so good!

I might be biased since Lee Yoo-Mi is my favorite actress but I think episode one was really good. I was really looking forward to this series for months and it's finally here! I really enjoyed this episode. It had it's funny moments but also emotional ones. I was really pleased by the beautiful shot scenery of Mongolia. They were absolutely breath-taking. The editing was also really on point as well as the acting. Overall, the first episode was a very good start and I can't wait to watch more! ^_^

Watched it only for the cast

I actually wrote another lengthy review but refreshed the page by mistake and it was gone?

For the first 10 episodes I kind of enjoyed it but seeing she has no improvement toward the ML really disappointed me.

Only watch it if you like a frustrating FL who acts like a 15 year old sometimes. Knows for a fact that wolves have only one partner for life and love only one woman but still does some bullshit things with no sense and no respect for the man that is supposed to be the king like trying to get him another woman.Stupid selfish things that cause only trouble for the poor ML who has to clean afterwards the mess she caused and also she has no gratitude for the man that saved her life like 20 times in a row. Yes maybe he did kidnapped her but that was the only bad thing he did. He treated her with outstanding respect and protected her gave her anything she asked.

The love QMulang /Li Xiong has for her is just endearing faithful and loving, protective and just beautiful. On the other hand we have Qi Pa who is just annoying for the most part of the drama.

She falls for his daylight appearance Li Xiong and doesn't have a clue for like 22 episode that the wolf and the HUMAN form is the same person. I mean how stupid do you have to be not to realise he is the same person. The same voice the same hight the same eyes the same face for God's sake it's not like she hasn't seen him and he wore a mask all the time. It's like she was blind for 22-23 episodes not for 2. After being a total bi*ch with QMulang for like 22 episodes she falls in love in 1? almost forgets about the other side of him Li Xiong that she kissed and promises to be with.

The so called Pearl that needed a true love kiss to get out of her was like accessible for anyone in any condition i mean Su He took it out without a problem. Ok maybe she did almost killed her but still? she did it in one go.

Slow paced with to many filling scenes and to many side couples cute couples but to many i mean 4 it's a lot . If you cut the scenes between the side couples you are left with 20 ep at most. She is kinda stupid and does stupid annoying things and yet he is so calm letting her do whatever. To slow paced it takes them 13 ep to get married 10 more for her to find out the 2 guys are actually only 1 and not because she is smart or she is torn between the feelings she has for his human form and the animal form or maybe the way she knows it 2 different guys. There is no indication that she has feelings for QMulang up until ep 23 ? it's just frustrating.

It's like how can you not recognize him not realize he is the same person especially when he has the same face it's like he is wearing a Halloween mask. How can one not recognize the man she loves when he looks the same just baffles me. And the fact that she did not realized it herself shows how shallow her love was. Thank God his brother told her otherwise she would have gone like this for another 23 episodes

All in all a weak drama but with good actors and stunning ML ? and SML's .

A 8 for the drama and that is because i gave the actors a 10 otherwise i would give it a 5 but because i really like Chen Zhe Yuan ever since i saw him in Mr.Bad? and Wu Xuanyi loved her in Douluo Continent.

They dragged it for dear life, the antagonist just disappeared without any fight whatsoever and they just wrapped it so fast without any explanations.

GO WATCH IT RIGHT AWAY!!!!

This is the BEST drama ever to exist!! It is too perfect to be a mini-drama. I am proud that I am one of the people who has watched this drama. If you are thinking of watching go binge it right away. It is worth every second of your watch. so good!!!! I won't tell you any spoilers here, but I would surely confirm this to you if you haven't watched this drama you are missing out so much in your life. Being a k&c- drama watcher for so long this is a masterpiece that is damn underrated. The writer definitely did an outstanding job and the actors too. I started imagining that I may be a part of a comic world. Or at least I pray that I am.

Turned out to be an addictive watch

I started the first episode and before I knew it I had finished 6 episodes. This was different from what I expected, I thought it would be too cheesy for me. The first episode with the dark supernatural opening hooked me in even though this show so far is not dark, it is a light comedy romance. The storyline is unique and I think the writing is good. This made me laugh so hard in some parts, the ML being "entranced" by the FL is so over the top. She did a good job with her reactions to his professions of love for her, its to a point she's about to pound her head on the wall out of frustration. It seems there's a bit of be careful what you wish for.

Get a Grip Shin Yu!

Nothing less of a Masterpiece!!!!!!

This is not your usual BL/bromance drama. It's the kind of art that goes down in history as one of its kind!!!
The actors, the cinematography, the background, the music, and everything else, it was all just perfect. Every single moment of it was captivating for me. And the Chinese operas, my god, they were mesmerizing and Shang Xi Rui stole the show. Meanwhile, Cheng Feng Tai always complemented him so well by being his support 24/7. All throughout the series, they felt like two bodies and one soul. This masterpiece had been on my mind for far too long even after I finished it. I'm so glad I came across this one and fortunately didn't skip it ?
Only real art lovers will truly appreciate the worth of this gem ?✨♥️

Is he died at the end ?

I already watched "a date with the future" so i liked such stories and that's the reason i had more expections with this story but at many places i had started comparison about the dramas . Started with the similar story then little tra ke had changed . She didn't know who save him ,she only knew the name .with the name she had started looking the person .Then she came to know that the person was no more and she felt sad and then she continued with her work . Afterwards she due to many reasons she and the male lead come infront of eachother and then she came to know that he was the one who saved her and they had fallen in love with each other
Last part confused me a lot . Was he died in the forest fire ? If he died then why was he celebrating the other day with his colleagues.?The last part of the drama when she was giving tribute to firefighters through her dance so he entered the theatre sat on the chair watched her act ,he cried and when her act was over ,she looked towards the audience the seat was empty so what was that ? Disappointed with the scene.
What i liked about the drama was the safety precautions they were telling at the end of each episode.
Acting was good.

It was like Torture!

If there was one character that truly needed a voice dubbing , it was this female lead character. The whining and childish prattle got on my nerves real quick. Normally I will try to look past it, but I just couldn't this time and just decided to fast forward over it.

I have nothing against the actress personally, but she was just not the right actress to play this part and there was just no chemistry between her and the ML to even make me want to root for them to get together. The actress in the 2nd lead to me is much more suited for this type of role.

I watched the first 3 episodes without skipping but the show was so slow, I started skipping at episode 4 and completed the rest of the episodes in about two hours. I skipped through most of the series only to reach an ending that was ridiculous. I am so glad that I did not invest emotionally in this drama. I mostly watched it for the male lead, because I loved him from the untamed series. This series although beautifully filmed, was poorly written and not worthy of the acting talent brought together for this series. For the amount of talent that this filmed pulled, I expected a better product, but even great actors cannot overcome poor writing.

Dark Hole gives me hope. Maybe I can become a writer too.

Huge zombie fan here. I was happy to see Lee Joon Hyuk finally landing a big role but try as I may, this show just fails to deliver. I just can't seem to care enough about anyone at all. The dialogue, logic, and conflicts are packed with cliches and flaws. The narrative feels like a novice high school student's first attempt at writing a novel, where they simply incorporate whatever concepts they find intriguing, without knowing the fundamentals of writing and storytelling. Is this about zombies, aliens, a serial killer or supernatural forces? Make up your mind please. I love my bubble tea as much as I love my ramen soup, but I do not ever want to see them getting mixed into one big bowl.

So much things are not solved like Lin luxiao found Nan chu's father diary...and also her Identity.... The departure of lin luxiao made me cry...

Jane tried hard to survive. i salute her and i hate kate. whom tried to compete with jane while having back up like her parents. and also i don't like her parents. They know their daughter did wrong. but instead of apologizing, she support her. wtf. Her mom always stand for rightful when teaching her daughter but she lost with her on her own. I totally proud of jane while people keep striking her and she never failed to keep fighting

OFFROAD & DAOU DELIVERED

Was this a perfect BL...maybe not. But it was perfect for Me. I adore Daou and Offroad together. Great Kisses. The only negative was the whole debt/kidnapping thing. And it wasn't a total negative it was just it came out of nowhere. The portrayal of love and acceptance between friends and family was heartwarming. I love how every person was there for the other. Offroad delivered a sincere performance as a guy that just wanted to be seen. To be trusted. Daou was so good as well. Almost perfect. Loved it

A short and a fast translation but cute

Sorry, the headline might be weird, I don't know what to write lol

Actually, I wanted to rated 8.5 because I really loved this serie because it was too cute and didn't think much about it, it's like a light fluffly love story. But looking back, I give it 7.5 because I feel like some interesting points were not enough developping. I wish they could explain / show more of Yang Yanfeng's background story since he's the main lead and I also wish he could speak a bit more mandarin chinese because this is one of the element they wanted to high light. I also wanted they could insert some scenes where he's teaching to Phumjai some other words and maybe some misunderstandings with the language barrier could be interesting and funny.

It's true that I was also annoyed by the other main lead, Phumjai being childish (especially the fanboying too hard part but it's kind of relatable and true..) but then he has a character development so I changed my mind and found him cute and I was a little impressed by the fact he's not lazy or something but he gives his heart when he's doing something.

The support characters were funny and nice. The brother of Phumjai, Phojai was kind of annoying but maybe we have to put in his shoes. As the older brother, this is his way to show some concern for Phumjai and so on. As lover, it's a different story and I'm a bit disappointed they kind of brush it off the real concern of their story ( Phorjai and Tag).

Nonetheless, it was a lovely and a heartwarming journey to follow them, especially the two main leads, they have a really nice chemistry.

I feel like, we don't have to expect much, it's an easy watch for this short serie, it will bring a smile to your face!

Now, this is one of my all time favorites!!

I am writing a review after a really long time, but this series deserves all the praise and some more. Also, this is my first Chinese period drama, and I am glad that it's getting added to my firsts...

To begin with, the locations and scenes were mesmerising. I was a total goner when I saw the scenic beauty this show portrayed. Be it landscapes or architecture, everything was perfect.

As for the storyline, I was expecting it to be slow-paced and it was; however, I have to say that the 30-episode flashback kinda tested my patience. I am very impatient and going through the past story made me question everything. But then I started seeing the story unfold and understood that it was necessary for us to fathom the chemistry and loyalty between Wei Ying and Lan Zhan.

And that brings me to our leads. Both the actors were great, their characters were written to perfection, and they both did justice to it. I know that the novel this series was adapted from is BL but here they kept their chemistry so subtle that some may not even catch it. Looks shared between Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, their unbound trust in each other, the care they showed for each other, Lan Zhan's softness and leniency towards Wei Ying, those slight smiles that Lan Zhan only gave to Wei Ying, these small things were far more intense and interesting.

I have to say this, every time Wei Ying smiled at Lan Zhan, even I couldn't stop my smile. That guy was looking crazy beautiful with his personality, attire, flute, those dark shadows, and that smile. As for Lan Zhan, I don't remember seeing him smile without any restraint or whether I missed it, I am not sure.

Overall, this series deserves all the popularity. I am sure I will watch it again someday!

Beautiful story even without a kissing scene

nice story, even without a kiss
I just love this drama so much
acting was on point
the plot was engaging
Ost is supereb
no cheezy or cringey scene
not the regular stories either
Allen Ren killed his role
All actors nailed their role really
The endings was more of an opening-ending but I personally don't mind it
should I expect a second season? I don't know but I hope there will be sometime in the future
I almost gave up on this drama because of negative reviews
but goodness I love this drama so much
advice to future watchers
don't hesitate, watch the drama with an open mind , just give it a shot
