Born with Luck (2026)

My one of my top cdrama of all time

To be honest I watched this cdrama because of Tian Xiwei, I was binged watching all her dramas and I happen to watch this BWL, in first EP it already caught my attention and I thought it was really promising. As more episodes progress, it becomes interesting, the way the plot/story unfold- amazing. I dont know with others saying that there are unnecessary scenes but hello that's how the story/plot unfold. Each character has a significant role to help solve the case. The pacing, acting and story is so good, it ended up me upgrading my subscription from standard to premium just to finish EP 21 to 24 in one sitting, I love it, this is one of my fave cdramas. Congratulations #TianXiwei and #Bornwithluck team.

Came for Tian Xi Wei, Stayed for the Comedy

Honestly, this is one of those dramas I started mainly because of Tian Xi Wei, and I’m glad I did. The first three episodes were seriously so entertaining and instantly pulled me in. I do wish Xi Wei had more screen time, but I’m still really happy seeing her take on a rookie police officer role.

What made the drama especially enjoyable for me was the humor. Zhang Yi Ang is the type of character you can never fully take seriously because he’s naturally comedic, and the same goes for the entire team. Even the criminals somehow added to the comedy. I’m usually not very interested in crime-focused plots, but this one managed to keep me entertained throughout, even though I wish the storyline had been a little more gripping at times.

When it comes to the cast, I’m only familiar with Tian Xi Wei and Lawrence Wang, who I remember as Si Ming from *Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms*. Still, you can easily tell the cast is filled with experienced actors. I’m especially glad Tian Xi Wei stepped outside her usual roles and tried something more unconventional. Li Qian had such a cool and refreshing vibe because of her performance.

The OSTs also deserve praise because they fit the drama’s dark comedy atmosphere perfectly. Everything felt chaotic in a fun way, which honestly made the experience even better. It’s understandable why the drama is getting attention on local TV, even if it isn’t receiving the same level of popularity on MDL. Personally, I think a 7.3 rating is way too low for a drama this enjoyable, though I can see how this kind of genre may not appeal to everyone.

I probably wouldn’t fully rewatch the entire drama, but I’d definitely revisit a lot of specific scenes because the comedy here was genuinely gold.
