1. So the dynamics are sketchy due to many factors. Also this drama got real toxic at times. There was even a grape scene and I remember dropping the drama after that scene. I eventually picked it up a few months later, since the FL was giving everything

2. But the drama was also childish at one point haha I usually hate it, but it was funny seeing the FL being the childish one for a change.

3. Speaking of the FL, I liked her general vibe. She's presented as being professional, competent, but also petty. And I love this haha I love how she's in the ML's corner. As in she's very loving, supportive and the whole nine yards. I think she was constantly showing him how much she loved him. And FLs are usually not very vocal about their love, so it's nice to see.vMy favourite scene was when she wouldn't let a phone call interrupt her from kissing the ML.

4. The ML was okay. He embodied the innocent yet cunning vibe perfectly. As usual, he is very handsome, intelligent and rich haha I want to have more regular shmegular MLs but that's never going to happen,

5. The cinematography was kinda nice. I noticed that they were trying to be creative with the framing. I liked the colour grading too! Towards the end, it became extra good

6. I was initially watching on YouTube and I had to buy a iqiyi subscription for better quality haha

7. Oh, the chemistry was kinda nice. Those kisses were everything. The ML kissed her like he meant it. Love to see it

8. It has my favourite type of FL: "unbending, self-possessed, rational , gorgeous and not too too jaded. "

Dropped ❌

1. Something was off, but what? the pacing? Maybe the story was not good enough?

2. Maybe the way the characters were behaving...not sure. I'm okay with unlikable characters, but these characters felt obnoxious.

3. Maybe I'm the problem and I'm applying my morality to these characters. Maybe I'm not as accepting of unlikable and messy characters. Food for thought ❗

4. Random therapy session I guess: maybe I'm so used to FLs who always have some control on their emotions/lives...so seeing the characters in this drama act so crazy felt jarring. Acting this erratic because of love is the opposite of what my type of FLs do. So maybe I need to become comfortable with FLs who are less in control? This says lot more about me, than them. I guess this is why I don't watch a lot of youth dramas? Because most FLs in those dramas are still not in control of their emotions and it exhaust me. But one of my favourite FLs is Su Zai Zai and she was crazy and erratic but also in control....so maybe I'm overanalyzing this. Ugh

5. Nevertheless, I wanted to like this drama so much. The first 2 episodes had me ecstatic....so I was deeply disappointed as the episodes went on.

6. I quite like the gorgeous main actress, the cinematography was oh so gorgeous, the editing was so good, the lighting was exquisite, the costumes and sets were so gorgeous. You can see that the budget was actually decent. Which is so rare for modern Cdramas.

7. Can't believe I finally got a beautifully shot modern Cdrama and it was trash.

Maybe one day, I'll pick it up again. Because ain't no way..it turned out this bad. I have to watch again to prove something to myself ⁉️

Completed ✅

1. This was like the abridged version of Fight for Love. I was always curious to know how they could get married in their circumstances. And this drama answered my question.

2. I liked the first half better though

3. The chemistry was not there sadly

4. The characters were cool. Everyone was so interesting

5. I liked how calm and mature the FL was

6. I didn't care for the ML most times. I'm glad he knew he was petty and reckless and immature. He actually acknowledged this multiple times ?

7. I loved the ML's hair. That hairline was giving everything

8. The men were so good looking for no reason. The ladies were pretty too, but that's expected haha

Completed ✅

1. The drama has my favourite type of FL: "unbending, self-possessed, rational , gorgeous and not too too jaded. " so........I absolutely loved the FL. A bit of a Mary Sue at times, but I'll allow it. I love me a FL who has a mission and will do everything to succeed. I also loved that she was struggling at times and nothing was working out. She had control but some things were just unknowable

2. I also love the ML. His character is not as fleshed out as the FL, which is a bummer. But he looks extra handsome with the earring

3. The fight scenes were not it

4. The pacing is alright. A bit slower towards the end.

5. The subtitles were so horribly fast, I had to resort to the English AI Dub. It's so bad, but I don't have any other choice.

6. The costumes are gorgeous. The shades of red being used are so beautiful

7. The chemistry was not the best, but I still added .5 points because the drama was more romantic than I expected. I was expecting 0 romance...so I was quite shocked haha So many hugs! Some decent kisses. I also loved the occasional flirty banter

8. Cool villains too!. They are not amazing or anything. But it was nice to have villains who were not cartoonish

9. The cutest baby emperor! I love that they gave him some child-like characteristics too.

Dropped ❌

1. The camerawork is very awkward

2. The cinematography is not that good. But you can see that they are trying. The audio and lighting are so bad.

3. The story is cliche.

4. But I liked how natural their chemistry was.

5. I also liked that the FL flirted back and was playful too.I absolutely love flirty FLs ❤️

6. I really love the leads and I wish they were acting in a better production. Truly a shame. They have such great scenes together; but there's always something off.

Dropped ❌

1. I wanted to like it so much

2. But the acting wasn't convincing. Especially the ML

3. Chemistry was nice though

4. I think I just expected more

Completed ✅

1. This was interesting and way more serious than I thought and I couldn't look away.

2. The drama has my favourite type of FL: "unbending, self-possessed, rational , gorgeous and not too too jaded."

3. Everyone in this drama needs to see a therapist.

4. I felt exhausted after finishing the drama

5. I will not be rewatching

Dropped ❌

⏯️ 2/24

1. Looks good for a mini drama. Lighting, composition, editing. Sound is strange. I think they recorded the sound on set, so it sounds a bit echo-y. I kinda dig

2. The drama is more on the serious side. I hope the drama won't take itself too seriously though. That's worse than a drama that's too silly

3. I don't care about the ML nor the FL at this time

4. Cunning, ruthless, palace schemes and other Court shenanigans...are my least favourite subgenre. I've dropped so many dramas because of this ?

Completed ✅

I enjoyed every single second of this drama. It fits right in my favourite subgenre " Romance with a side of sci-fi ❤️"

1. It has my favourite type of FL: "unbending, self-possessed, rational , gorgeous and not too too jaded. " Sabrina knocked this out of the park.

2. My favourite type of ML: a cute "puppy" who's going through it....and trying to get his life together. Our gorgeous ML did well too.

3. This is how I like my isekai/transmigration/rebirth dramas. Even if everything changes, I want the FL to still have some grasp on the story

4. . The chemistry was not bad. The main leads look good, but their looks don't "match". I don't know how to explain this.

Dropped ❌ I just wasn't feeling it

Completed ✅

1. Very cliche but I liked it.

2. Plot has nothing new to offer. The acting was decent

3. The cinematography was alright. You could see they were trying to find cool composition and lighting and framing

4. The FL wore some cute outfits

5. The ML was not bad. I wasn't sure at first but he got better and better

6. I liked the FL's vibe.

7. The FL was so cute with her little shop employee

8. Favourite scene was the balcony/rooftop kiss

Completed ✅

1. I dropped it once, but I decided to give another chance. Victoria was believable as a female General in Fight for Love. So I wanted to see another believable fighter.

2. Loved how believable she was. And how dependable and how she was saving them all the time

3. The ML was cool too. I like how he respected her as a fighter

4. Yay for layered villains? xia jingshi was cool haha

5. I loved the cinematography and costumes and pacing and editing. So much camera coverage!

6. I really had fun watching this ❤️

Completed ✅

1. All the ingredients to make a great drama were present, but the drama still turned out boring.

2. It had good moments, but it could have been better.

3. I could see how much effort was put into every single aspect of this, but alas....

4. The drama has my favourite type of FL: "unbending, self-possessed, rational , gorgeous and not too too jaded. "

Dropped ❌

I was sooooo disheartened when I dropped this. I actually remember almost crying, at my grown age. But the vibes shifted. As soon as the political schemes started, I was done.

1. The first third was sooo fun! So witty, so funny, so wholesome

2. The cinematography and editing are really good. I wasn't impressed with some of the costumes. The bronze "gongs" had the coolest costume though

3. The acting was actually good too!

4. The actual FL was robbed and this role wasn't good for her, but I guess she wanted to try something different? Her maid with psychopathic tendencies was hilarious though.

Dropped ❌


No access to subtitles

Dropped ❌ sadly

1. I absolutely loved them at the beginning. I wanted the weight loss arc to be longer. They were so cute and positive and hardworking

2. There was a time jump and I wasn't into the story

3. Really disappointed

Completed ✅

1. I am not sure what the plot was

2. But I know that everything looked good. The cinematography, costumes, everything.

3. The men were gorgeous haha

4. Our FL didn't have much to work with, but she was doing her best.

5. The Republic Era is my least favorite genre because I never like any of the stories. So this one is on me for hoping for a good story

Completed ✅

1. The FL is so pretty. She looks her age and she's so pretty. I was quite shocked when I first saw her.

2. Her style is so good too

3. As for the ML..., not sure how I feel yet. We shall see

4. The husband is the worst though. There's no doubt about that

5. I love how everyone has secrets and different agendas and they are all lying...so I'm constantly gasping. This is so fun to watch

6. I'm hoping for a good ending

7. I wish the ending was better, but otherwise this was a fun watch

8. I enjoyed myself ?

Dropped ❌ ?

1. The drama looks so good for a mini drama.

2. Cinematography is so pretty. The lighting is so lovely

3. The FL is gorgeous

4. The ML kisses so well

5. But...the plot is so cliche. It's like I've seen a million versions of this story.

6. So I have to drop. So disappointed.

⏯️ 2/11

2. Another drama with sketchy dynamics haha

3. I don't think I've ever seen a stalker FL before so that was definitely something new.

4. I liked how there were no good people or bad people. Just different shades of grey.

Completed ✅

1. Something was off with the pacing.

2. The acting was actually good. I expected such from Queen Reba, but the male actor did good too.

3. The drama has my favourite type of FL: "unbending, self-possessed, rational , gorgeous and not too too jaded. "

4. The fight scenes were really cool!!! The director gave us some cool fight scenes in "Love Scenery", so I knew this drama would be fun too. That camp scene had me so hyped. OMG. I also liked how the camera work made the audience feel immersed in the fight scenes. This director is so cool.

5. . Stunning costumes, sets and graphics.

6. If only the pacing was better..meh

7. Oh! I absolutely loved the OST. Amapiano log drums?!! Yes ma'am!

Nevertheless, I added 1 star because the ML was smiling so much. Our Little Foxy has hard a hard life and he could have become the most hardened, stoic and nonchalant man ever, but he chose kindness and warmth. His lopsided cheeky smile illustrated this so well. So it was so nice to see it often!

Dropped ❌

1. It's a silly romance. But I'm still disappointed that it was not good enough.

2. I just wanted a palate cleanser after Fated Hearts

Dropped ❌, I've tried so many times and the characters are cute but I'm just not feeling it

⏯️ 10/24

1. The comments said the ML was "unlikable". Usually this term is reserved for women, so I was cackling anytime they called him that. And yes, he was insufferable.

2. The FL was the typical cute and hardworking girl

3. I honestly don't know why I didn't stop this drama. Maybe it felt raw and awkward and honest? I know that period of life is full of uncertainty and passion and love and fear. So maybe the drama captured that. Not sure....

Dropped ❌

I don't like unnecessarily rude, tsundere MLs.

But the cinematography is so good, the costumes are so pretty. And I quite liked the 2FL...so might pick it up again??

Completed ✅

1. I think I fast forwarded most of the drama

2. I actually liked the FL but the plot was so silly at times. This could have been so much better

3. I totally should have dropped this in the first five minutes

4. Oh well. You live and learn

Dropped again ❌, I'm just not feeling it

⏯️ 23/36

1. It's not that good. The story should have been more fine-tuned

2. But it's not bad either. I really like the world-building. Some arcs are really good! The whaleboat was long but the set was so cool!

3. It's episode 16 and there's no political or clan or acer scheming or backstabbing and other shenanigans.... yet. Oh, I love it!

4. Some of the costumes are truly gorgeous. The Old Dragon Lord entire wardrobe is art! It's so beautiful. ?

5. Chemistry is non-existent; but the main couple got sweeter and cuter at around episode 22

Dropped ❌ I'm not having any fun

⏯️ 6/40?

1. People in the comments kept mentioning someone called "Er Lang", so I'm curious haha

2. The story is all over the place and everything is happening at once

3. The audio is out of sync, so the fight scenes are not fun to watch

4. These people had too much budget money. The sheer scale of everything is scary. Every shot screams opulence. I like it ❤️

Dropped ❌



I don't like unnecessarily rude, tsundere MLs.

But the FL seems so fun! So I might pick this again if I ever get bored

Completed ✅

It was alright, I didn't hate it. I even replayed some scenes

Completed ✅

1. This drama was too damn long

2. The acting was meh

3. The cinematography was decent

4. The costumes, makeup and sets were alright

5. The CGI was not that bad

6. I liked the lighting

7. The fog machine was over utilized

8. The ML was somehow underutilized? I often forgot that we had a ML. Also, I've never seen a ML act like the villain. Towards the end, he did something that flabbergasted everyone

9. The Second Male Lead syndrome was strong in this one. Ugh I know it's because I'm shallow and the actor is gorgeous. But I also think they gave him more material to work with. Anytime he was on the screen, it was just enjoyable. But yeah, he had all the red flags. All of them

10. The drama has my favourite type of FL: "unbending, self-possessed, rational , gorgeous and not too too jaded. ". But not always though. And that's okay. I liked how she had some cat mannerisms. Very cute! Her Cat Lord costumes were gorgeous

11. I think we could have had more stories from the Demon City. It looked so cool and the characters seemed so interesting.

12. Oh, I did not care for the second couple. We usually tell girls and women to not chase after boys and men who don't like them. We should teach our boys and men to not chase after girls and women who don't like them. This is one of my least favourite trope.

13. I liked the bromance between Grandfather and Mei Si. They should have cut all the second couple scenes and left only the bromance.

14. I liked the fight scene between the rat and the grandfather in episode 36. It was quite short but I liked the choreography

15. The Changxi palace characters seemed so interesting too. Shame we didn't see them as much as we could have

16. We had some many arcs and side stories and cameos. And most of them were really fun. They made this drama's world seem so much larger and full of life. When I was watching veil of shadows, I remember finding the world so claustrophobic at times. One of my favourite arc is the Herb Demon arc. It was so short but it was nice.

Rewatch: nope?

Rewatch ✅ I only rewatched the main love line. They have so little screentime, but I found them cute. They were kinda natural in their chemistry. The ML was so whimsical and cute. And our FL was the cold one haha

⏯️ 21/40

So apparently, I am toxic and I like handsome villains with cute dimples

1. Such a gorgeous show: the snowy quaint village looked so good.

2. But I dropped the drama twice. I wasn't sure but.... everything is so extra ? the plot, the acting, the music, the editing, the pacing. It was so tiring

3. No chemistry whatsoever. The main actress was giving us everything and the ML was giving us nothing. The man is gorgeous though

4. So I need to pick it up again...maybe

5. Ok, I gave it another chance. And in episode 16, the drama became better when the villain with dimples was introduced.

6. The FL has been in a handful of scenes with the dimpled villain and their chemistry is way too good.

7. I'm going to give the ML a chance too. I think I'm being unnecessarily harsh on him.

8. I really don't know if I should drop it again. It's an excellent drama, but something is off.

Dropped ❌

I just couldn't get into it

Completed ✅

1. The story is very cliche and unoriginal, but it has my favourite type of FL: "unbending, self-possessed, rational , gorgeous and not too too jaded. " The main actress was acting her little heart out.

2. My favourite type of ML: a cute "puppy" who's going through it....and trying to get his life together. Our gorgeous ML with the beautiful eyes did well too.

3. I remember also liking the cinematography and costumes.

Completed ✅

1. This ML sure is creepy but has hilarious reactions. Heck, most of the characters are low-key creepy.

2. Except for the Grandmother! She's so protective of our FL

3. The FL...I don't know how to feel about her yet.

4. Oh, I also loved the ML's guard?/right hand man?/butler?. This man has seen so many awkward things. I'm sure he has tales for days. And since he's seen it all, he's no longer fazed by any shenanigans ?

5. The costumes were simple but oh so stunning. I think they copied from other more high budget dramas. Like the feathers stuff from POJ? My eyes were delighted

6. Cinematography was good. You could see they were playing around without framing and composition.

7. I didn't care for the colour grading not the editing nor the sound design.

8. The acting was actually decent ❤️

9. Yay for expressed consent

10. I loved seeing how the FL became true to herself

11. Not the best drama, but it was good for a vertical drama!

Watching during my summer vacation ☀️

Completed ✅

1. I loved the FL's outfits! It's very cute and but not too childish not overly mature. Just perfect ?

2. The FL's is not quite like my type of FL but she's cool.

3. I guess this is one of those dramas where the 2ML has more screentime than the actual ML. I'll definitely not be having any SLS. This little boy is stressing 2 girls in the drama. Cool character though. I like male characters who aren't perfect heros nor villains. Just someone living life ...but doing it poorly haha

4. Edit: I guess I ended up having SLS. I think the 2ML was so well written, acted and directed. Truly a riveting but frustrating character. He stressed 4 girls out. I think it's because he's very risk averse and life's teaching him to be more brave. He's exceedingly kind and has integrity, but he's not nice and he's overly cautious. Truly fantastic to see how this turned out. The actor did such a good job

5. I didn't care for the main leads, so I fast forwarded the second half. It was tedious. The chemistry was not what I wanted. The business scenes were repetitive and boring.

6. I liked how the parents and other elders were nice. At least some of them

7. I liked the FL's work friends ❤️

8. I'm conclusion: This was disappointing I guess. It could have been much better. Maybe if they shaved 10 episodes?

3rd Rewatch - completed ✅

1. Li Wu was a simp, but it's alright.

2. The FL, Cen Jon, was cool enough to make up for it.

3. She's a club member of my favourite type of FL: "unbending, self-possessed, rational , gorgeous and not too too jaded. "

4. The plot was not original, but it was still nice to see their story unfold.

5. I loved how we experienced the characters during two different timelines in their lives . So cool.

6. I added 1 star because it's nice to see a FL in her 30s who dresses cute. So stylish.

Dropped ❌ as I couldn't find official subtitles ?

Completed ✅

1. Such a cute watch!

2. I thought the FL was going to be silly, but I should have known better. This is Su Zai Zai after all. So she turned out to be one of the coolest FLs. She may look weak and silly, but she has her priorities in order. Love to see it.

3. The ML was giving us nothing. I don't care for tsundere MLs.

4. The chemistry was non-existent haha..But they were cute though

5. The story was silly and all over the place; but still fun.

6. I didn't notice anything in particular regarding the cinematography and editing and costumes or sets. I guess they were okay

Giving this a chance again ⏯️ but Dropped ❌ again

1. It's too damn long, but I remember liking the characters

Completed ✅

1. The drama was not good but it wasn't bad either. But it could have been so much better. They had everything required but the plot was so messy. Such a shame really

2. The drama had some cute moments, some funny moments, some romantic moments... it's just that the whole ensemble was not good

3. The lighting was not so bad. The colour grading is exquisite. Just like how I like it. The costumes are nice.

4. I absolutely love the main actress so I didn't mind the way her character was. I wish she was less of a mess, but I'm good with imperfect characters. She also had a goal and I vibed with it.

5. I was surprised by the male actor. He actually was not bad so great for me

6. I had a bit of SLS haha

7. I wish the story was better because it's a whole mess. It's like they tried to combine so many plots and genres Together forcefully. I wish it was more on the serious side.

8. I liked the cute cat scenes

9. But I'm very disappointed

10. Such a shame

Dropped ❌ I just wasn't feeling it ....but I might come back to it later

1. The drama is not that good, but it's so fun ❤️

2. The editing is interesting.

3. I like the fight scenes and choreography

4. Everyone looks cute

5. I quite like the costumes and makeup

6. The FL character is layered and I like that

7. The ML is not as simple as I thought, so that's good too

8. I'm having fun, but the ML did something that pissed me off. So I'm dropping the drama for now

Dropped ❌

Giving it a try again ⏯️ 1/30

Dropped again ❌, I'm just not feeling it

This felt very "makjangy". I also don't like harem schemes/politics dramas so this is a pass.

Cinematography was good though! And the drama has my favourite type of FL: "unbending, self-possessed, rational , gorgeous and not too too jaded. "

Mais hélas...

Dropped ❌

1. Cinematography was so good. So many one shot scenes. I liked how realistic everything looked.

2. The acting was good.

3. But the MLs were talking way too much at the beginning and I couldn't like them. Why not show us, instead of telling us?

4. On the contrary, I remember a scene with a random barber, that was executed so well...so I wonder what happened with the MLs.

I think I'll eventually pick it up again

Completed ✅

1. It was okay. The beginning was fun. The last 1/3 was just strange. I was happy with the ending

2. Cinematography was not bad for such a short drama. You could that whoever did the camera work knew what they were doing. The lighting was crazy at times. The makeup and hair and costumes were ok. Towards the end, everyone was wearing the same one outfit.

3. The chemistry and kisses were good.

4. We even had a cute second couple, that I didn't care for. But they were very cute and frustrating

5. I needed a palate cleanser and this was perfect ?

6. Now, let me go finish that dumpster fire that is Love's Rebellion

1. I think I liked the FL and she's so adorable!

2. But I just couldn't get into it the ML. I guess I really don't care for rude tsundere MLs haha

3. Or... did I maybe judge him too hastliy? Because this actor plays too many aloof characters?

4. I'll try to pick this up if I ever get bored. Because I quite like this actor with his cute dimples.

Completed ✅

1. Stunning drama: cinematography, costumes, actors, everything looked good.

2. I didn't care for the lighting. It was always so harsh and made most things look washed out. It was not bad, per se. But I didn't care for it.

3. The makeup was good too.

4. Pacing was tight and fast-paced, which is so rare in cdramas.

5. Some story arcs where unnecessary: the story about the drought guy was not needed. I didn't care for him.

6. I wasn't buying the main leads "fated" love.

7. I absolutely loved the second leads more grounded love. I think the time they spent in the stone illusion really made their relationship feel "earned".

8. I added 1 star because of how much agency the female characters had. You love to see it. The drama has my favourite type of FL: "unbending, self-possessed, rational , gorgeous and not too too jaded. "

9. Oh! I absolutely loved the OST. Dubstep?!! Yessir!

Completed ✅

1. Nothing special really. I did think that our main leads were good looking

2. The acting was not so bad for a vertical drama: the male actor did well

Dropped ❌ as I couldn't find official subtitles...that are not on YouTube. I've blocked YouTube on everything that I own...so..yeah

Dropped ❌

I couldn't get into it.

But I remember the sets and cinematography being good

Completed ✅

1. The FL was so cool. And The drama has my favourite type of FL: "unbending, self-possessed, rational , gorgeous and not too too jaded. "

2. It's so rare that we have a FL who has to choose between two bad choices. I thought that was different haha

3. Cinematography was nice. Even the Windows screensaver background they used so many times

4. The ML was okay. I was not used to seeing XK acting upbeat and positive...so I'm still not sure if I liked it haha

5. So many fun cameos and other fun support or background characters.

6. Did I get second lead syndrome? Not sure

Try again? - ⏯️ 1/30

Nope! Dropped again ❌, I'm just not feeling it

1. I loved the Way guy in Moonlit Reunion. So will give this another chance.

2. Apparently he has very few scenes, but they are the best scenes haha

Dropped ❌

Couldn't find decent subtitles ?

Dropped ❌

1. The premise of the whole family transmigrating together was so freaking cool!

2. The first 5 episodes were so fun! I was so happy and delighted while watching them.

3. The editing was really fun! Cinematography and costumes. Sunglasses in the Tang dynasty? Yessir!

4. But alas, the drama became tedious just after a few episodes. So I had to drop.

5. My main point of contention was The fact that some male characters were annoying. It was like in the olden sitcoms where the husband was a lazy bumbling fool. I believe men can be written with more nuance. I don't like perfect male characters, but I don't like lazy caricatures either

6. I think one day I'll try to finish the drama, because it's a shame really
