Enjoy Happy Hours

I had thought Castle in the Time was a romantic drama with handsome Gu Chijun and beauty Xu Zhen,in fact it is!
At the same time,it’s a drama full of happiness,I could not help laughing in every episode.Gu Chijun is a tough and gentle man,Xu Zhen is a cute and brave girl.When they met with each other,the TV screen start to sent both sweet and funny vibes.
Both Park Min Young and Zhang Zhehan showed their talented acting, nice to see them again,please go on!
Castle in the time is so cute and charming ,I like it very much!

Divorce Story

The story is about two couples that are having kids when they are still in high school. The Father must work hard and stop pursuing his dream as a basketball player. After several years, the situation has become worse because lot of misunderstandings until both of them want to divorce. Later on, they are regretting all of it. The father really wants to turn back time and become youth and a miracle happens.

I really love how the video editor makes the transition. It's very smooth and eye-catching.

An Oriental Odyssey.

Chu Sijing, a captain of theJinyiwei/锦衣卫 or Embroidered Guard is on a mission to investigate a strange epidemic that broke out on the remote Wumu Island in Liaodong province. The outbreak threatens the adjacent NInghai Fortress, a critical stronghold against the invading Jurchens. The powers that be have their own agendas and appear more interested in covering up the outbreak than anything else. Thus Sijing steals onto the island aided only by a Mongol Tartar official Bo Yan and a Fulangji/佛郎机 businesswoman Angelica. There he encounters mysterious, disease afflicted villagers who worship ancient Gods and is forced to deal with some monstrous truths. Can he weed out the root of the epidemic before it overwhelms them all?

This story is set in the 3rd year of Tianqi, when the Ming Dynasty was in rapid decline. It was a time of many natural disasters from meteorites to a mini ice age, drought and famine. Superstition reigned high as the peasants were starving and the emperor was widely said to have lost the Mandate of Heaven. The drama invests heavily in world building and weaves in many themes from the period and fantastical creatures from Chinese mythology 山海经/Classics of Mountains and Seas and 神异经 / Classics of Gods and Spirits. Even though the CGI is not the best, I appreciate the effort that went into how they blended history, fantasy and ancient lore together to make this an Oriental odyssey.

Unfortunately all the research and creativity that went into world building is wasted on the story's plot which hints heavily at a complexity that never materialises. For such a short drama, there are too many subplots touching on many themes that go nowhere. Even ignoring Sandrine Pinna's appalling Disney cartoon character acting, the entire Angelica/Pirates of the Caribbean arc adds nothing to the story. The time would be better spent fleshing out the motives of the Henggong cult and tying up the many loose ends to the story. I usually like Huang Xuan's acting and enjoyed his chemistry with Bo Yan but this is not his best role. Maybe it is the overuse of green screens but I caught him frequently out of the moment and staring blankly into space. Shen Rang is the only character that really moved me and I enjoyed this character design and portrayal the most.

The best things about this drama are that it does try to be different, it is short, some of the action scenes are pretty good and it is oddly enjoyable despite its lack of logical consistency. The ending is anti-climatic, doesn't hang together well, leaves loose ends and is disappointing overall. I am being generous in rating this as a 7.0/10.0.

Gu Zhijun is so handsome that I like Zhang Zhehan. Let all love be united and all love be shared with each other. Because all love is concentrated on one person, which is particularly heavy. So let's share love together. Let's feel love together.
No winter is insurmountable, and no spring will not come. Let's become a new self, more confident, stronger and independent." As long as you are Haizhe, I am Zhang Zhehan. In those years in front of you, I hope to bring you a lot of energy, which is the motivation to move forward with each other. Maybe I will be happy to see me when I'm unhappy. Just like when I'm unhappy, I think of you, your support, and think of such a group of people who love me waiting for me, and I have renewed motivation.

Zhang Zhehan, I tried to describe you in those beautiful sentences, but I couldn't. I write a long sentence with words. Your eyebrows are shining, which makes me feel that no, these words can't write the stars in your eyes, and the spring breeze at the corners of your lips. No matter which word, it is not as amazing as your amazing Zhang Zhehan. As a boy, you are a little conscious. Don't run to the beautiful territory that girls should have to get scores, but what's strange and masculine than girls are strange? Don't be too handsome with Gu Zhijun's glasses, okay?

I like it very much

The plot is old-fashioned, Zhang Zhehan is really handsome, and his acting skills are very good. The heroine is very sweet.
Castle in the Time is a very enjoyable romantic drama comedy . I love the male and female leads Zhang Zhe Han and Park MinYoung ! They are both eye candies and their acting is very natural ! Being a dinosaur lover , I also love the palaeontologist element in the show . The little Maltese Xiao Jun Jun is also extremely adorable . Now only into the 5th episode , expect more and more exciting twists and turns to the storyline ! Go watch if you have not yet done so yet ! It is now showing on Japan ' s LaLaTV and will also be showing on SkyPerfect TV and Thailand ' s Monomax !

Zhe-han Zhang I tried to describe you in those beautiful sentences, but I couldn't. I write a long paragraph, and your eyebrows are shining, which makes me feel, no. These words can't write the stars in your eyes, and I can't write the spring breeze in the corners of your lips. No matter which word, it can't be as amazing as you. Gu Zhijun is so handsome, the heroine is also beautiful, and the plot is also very interesting. Zhang Zhehan How Say hello, this appearance, this figure, this demeanor??? Chengxin can't live an ordinary life with me, right?

Wonderful performance

Gu Chijun, played by Zhang Zhehan, is a 26-year-old male star who returned to China from Hollywood with great attention. He is domineering and cold, narcissistic, and does not play cards according to common sense. A pair of happy enemies with Xu Zhen. Once Gu Zhijun is determined in love, he will go forward bravely and devote himself to the protection of the person he loves, regardless of his superstar identity regardless of his efforts. When Xu Zhen cares about the gap between the "little assistant" and the "big star", he eliminated everything and took the initiative to approach. When Xu Zhen was in crisis, he sacrificed himself to protect himself regardless of safety.

Perfect casting!

So the cast for this is amazing and vocally insane, been listening to all of them prior to this show (even tho im late with the show) and them all together is just perfection! I do think that the show would have benefitted to having longer episodes with more variety content within it, think there was some episodes that really stood out and deserved to be longer such as the dorm one and the one with hanboks. Would love to see them play more games and just keep bonding. But it's an easy watch on Youtube, but sadly last episode does not have english subs on Youtube, but mostly concert and some clips. Even over a year after and no subs so guess I have to find last episode someplace else and rewatch.
Highly recommend this if you wanna watch something chill! Also big recommend to dive into these artists.

Last thing, Ha Hyun Sangs growth in this little show alone is insane!

A love story starring Zhang Zhehan

This is a youth love story with a very sweet style. Zhang Zhehan's handsome appearance, superb acting skills and the sweet temperament of the female lead all add a lot to the drama. The love and kindness in the character also make people feel very warm.
Zhang Zhehan is an excellent actor, he has starred in a lot of movies and TV plays, won a very high evaluation of the famous directors in China, but also won the love of many fans, he himself loves sports, versatile, the recent year as a singer in the music has also achieved very good results.

Not great

I like Hana Yori Dango even though certain plot lines are problematic. It's a little disappointing that a live-action remake has yet to show any kind of romantic chemistry between the characters, including this one.

This drama is supposed to have a great love story, except the characters have no chemistry. She is already in love with him but acts like she wants to run for the hills every time he comes near her. I understand the story is about teenagers, so the writers have to be careful about how much sexual tension they put into it. But dear god, their romance is just so dry. This is one thing I hate about Asian dramas - so many of them have very little romantic/sexual chemistry between couples who are supposed to be madly in love with each other.

Good drama

At first, I dropped this drama after a few episodes because I detest female characters who are purposely written as clumsy, whinny, and clueless. It's not endearing but really annoying. But after hearing good things about it, I decided to give it another chance and watched it till the end.

This drama has amazing character development. It starts off as kind of comedic but later becomes quite dark and emotional. The main characters go through a transformation. She becomes more mature. He gains feelings and empathy. They are star-crossed lovers and this drama really went out of its way to show the type of love that endures. They fought for each other, made sacrifices, had faith in each other and at the end stayed true to who they were. They also made each other better. She matured from a clumsy airhead to a thoughtful person. He developed feelings and was able to form relationships and appreciate others.

The ending felt rushed. One moment she was waiting for him to come back to life, the next moment he was standing behind her "I am baaaack!", they kissed, the end.

The story tended to drag sometimes but it didn't affect the plot too much.

The acting was fantastic, especially by Dylan Wang. The way he conveyed emotion after Orchid died was heart breaking.

Overall, the show has some really good acting, good music, really emotional scenes, and a very touching love story. Recommend!
