Huang Hou Pao Lu Hou Cheng Le Xin Jian Chong Fei (2025)

Nonsense comedy drama

I watched it last year and found out in Tiktok ads and turns out it was entertaining but somehow they got some nonsense plot like COVID-19 like what did scriptwriter eat when they making this? The romance part was quite lacking since they choose to focused on comedy plot (It can't be helped since its Wang Nan and Sun Qian Xun combo). The beginning was quite great FL was transmigrated into ancient while found ML was tyrant king who actually got transmigrated before FL (It reminds me of How Dare You especially the "How are you" part to check ML identity) but somehow got missed on COVID-19 plot and try to make angst but somehow it lacks the feeling and the ending was quite not memorable.

Still decent watch though.

That random conversation made this time-travel drama memorable

This drama has been in my playlist since the day I created this MDL page. Last night I was in the mood for morally grey main characters so I decided to watch this drama. Overall it was a good watch.

What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - She's quick thinker & compassionate and I liked that.
2. ML characterisation - I liked the character development and was surprised when I found out the twist.
3. Acting - Such a magnetic performance by Wang Nan - he totally embodied his character. I enjoyed watching Sun Qian Xun in this role especially in dramatic scenes. She showed to us that she could do well in both comedic and dramatic moments.
4. Comedy - Funny moments were plentiful and my favourite is the random conversation between FL and ML.
5. Relationship - They started off on the wrong foot but slowly formed alliance and later romantic feelings.
6. Plague - I liked how the story of plague was embedded in this drama.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - The concept was good but execution was less compelling. I was bored when scenes of antagonists appeared that I increased speed to 2.0
2. Romance - Their first intimate encounter didn't sit well with me because ML was injured / unconscious. Anyway I wish there were more sweet and tender moments between FL and ML.

Favourite scene
That random conversation between FL and ML.
