CDrama & TDrama (watched)

The relationship between newly graduated doctor Mi Ka and Special Forces Captain Xing Ke Lei, who first met during a jewel heist and then again during a joint emergency rescue training exercise, as they navigate various military and medical situations and grow to learn more about each other.

**
Being my first Cdrama experience, it was refreshing. 

The absence of any break-ups or love triangles among the main characters made it a pleasant watch

Su Mang, a woman who returns to China after a difficult divorce and becomes the boss of Zheng Chu, a hotel connoisseur for her company, and their budding romantic relationship amidst misunderstandings and office gossip.

**
There may have been some distance or minor misunderstandings between the main leads in certain episodes, but both characters were amazing. 

I especially enjoyed the male lead's humor, which got me hooked. 

The female lead was pregnant throughout the series, although her baby bump was only visible in the last episode 

About Mu Wan Qing and Liu Qing, who get married before falling in love and must navigate their relationship through challenges in both their personal lives and Mu Wan Qing's company, culminating in a journey to Thailand to fulfill the wishes of their elders.

An Arranged Marriage with a break up and little misunderstandings.

FL is stoic and tough, while ML suffers from trauma stemming from his past work experiences but maintains a good sense of humor 

About the unexpected romance between Xia Chu, a calm and collected military surgeon, and Liang Muze, a special military officer with a guarded heart, as they fulfill their duties and navigate their shared living situation. 

**
Tiktok keep showing clips on my fyp, got curious and tried watching the drama since it was Jingyu. But dropped it on episode 24 (mainly because of the FL character)

Story, OSTs, and Genre is something to look forward to.

The journey of a ruthless businesswoman and a kind-hearted doctor who enter into a fake marriage but end up falling in love with each other. 

**
An arranged marriage but broke up. Met after 5 years and had a child.

I liked the main lead character, particularly with the FL (empowered, bold, and straight forward). Had to skip some episodes when they had to separate (i know, i know) though they got a happy ending.

The legend tells of a world-threatening monster, Dongfang Qing Cang, whose army was sealed away by the first God of War. However, 30,000 years later, a weak flower fairy named Orchid accidentally finds herself inside the sealed Haotian Tower and encounters the Moon Supreme himself, setting off a chain of events that may change the fate of the world once again.

**
The story, soundtrack, visuals, and characters were on point. Love both the main leads. 

NO BREAK UP BUT HAD TO SEPARATE FOR SOME REASONS. 

Xu Hong Dou, a big-city woman, decides to take a break from her high-paced urban lifestyle in a remote village after her best friend's death. In Yun Miao, she meets Xie Zhi Yao, who quit his well-paid job to start a tourism business, and as they work together, they discover a potential for romance in the tranquil village. 

**
Watching this healing-comedy was moving with its slow-burn romance. It drew me into their world, their stories. The loss in the first episode hit hard, but seeing them heal helped me too.

I am excited about the prospect of a Season 2 with the same cast.

Main Leads' chemistry is overflowing.

NO BREAK UP. 

Shen Man Ning and Yan Xing Cheng find themselves drawn to each other as they work to solve a long-standing mystery. Despite their initial animosity, their partnership leads to a slow-burning romance and a deepening bond that helps them face the challenges ahead.

**
Got curious since most of the reviews I've read discussed how good the drama was and it even got a good million views (youtube).

Main Leads were charming but not pleasing (to me) with FL characters (not a fan of the damsel in distress thingy. SORRY!). The romance they have is too fast-phasing. Too much fluff and angst. Had too skipped most scenes.

The plot twists of the story are something to look forward to. I liked the OST of the drama.

**just not a fan of some scenes where main leads had to sleep without getting a shower or change of clothes HAHAHAHA

A coming-of-age romance between Chen Xiao Xi and Jiang Chen, starting from their high school days and continuing through their university years and into their adult lives. Chen Xiao Xi's crush on Jiang Chen persists even as they navigate the challenges of school, family, and relationships with their friends and peers.

After waking up to the reality of what happened, Chen Xin Yi finds herself pregnant, leading to a complicated series of events between the two

**
my all-time favorite old drama that I am willing to watch over and over again. so good. 

Arranged marriage because FL is pregnant, but throughout the entire drama, there was no visible bump 

Had a misunderstanding and broke up. Still a happy ending

After being inspired by a high jumper named Zuo Yi Quan, Lu Rui Xi transfers to his all-boys school, disguised as a boy. While there, she befriends Jin Xiu Yi and catches the attention of both him and Quan, who discovers her true identity but keeps it a secret.

watched this way back my high school. 

Shan Cai, a girl from a humble background attending a university for the rich where she finds herself in the crosshairs of F4, the most powerful clique at school. Despite initially falling for the gentle Hua Ze Lei, Shan Cai catches the eye of the leader of F4, Dao Ming Si, whose constant bullying eventually turns into a romance as he falls deeply in love with her. However, their love faces many obstacles, including meddling family members and societal differences.

one of the best and popular Taiwanese drama.

My best memory in my childhood.

Despite the rocky start, they start to develop feelings for each other, but they must navigate their complicated past and the pressure to marry for the sake of their families.

**
FL is cute and a little badass. I like her character.

The drama revolves around a fake marriage.

In the later episodes, both twins get pregnant.

Sang Tian fails to pass the exam to get into the university her mother attended, so she dresses up as a male and joins the ice hockey team to prove herself. She ends up sharing a dorm with Wen Bing, a boy she's clashed with before, and the two become key players in the team's success while developing a respect that may turn into something more.

**
I dropped the drama because disguising as the opposite sex is not my cup of tea. I found it cringey, although the main leads had good chemistry. 

Gui Xiao and Lu Yan Chen fell in love at first sight in middle school, but their lives take them in different directions as Lu Yan Chen becomes a special police officer and Gui Xiao pursues a career in finance. They try to maintain a long-distance relationship, but it eventually fizzles out until years later when Gui Xiao has a reason to contact Lu Yan Chen again.

**
The story is great, with lots of flashbacks from their youth in every episode and a lot of affection, but I'm just not into the female lead character.

I haven't watched all the episodes because I found myself more interested in the second male lead than in the main male lead.

There are no break-ups in the story, which is set in a student environment.

Lin Xi deliberately approaches the top student Ji Jun Xing to be friends with him, and their opportunistic friendship develops into a deeper relationship as they support and encourage each other to pursue their dreams and goals.

**
There are no break-ups in this drama as it is set in a student environment. However, I haven't watched all the episodes because I found myself more interested in the second male lead than the main male lead.

The friendship of Kang Jia Wei and Xu Jing Jing, who met in high school and struck a bargain to help each other with grades and losing weight. As they navigate through the ups and downs of life, their tight-knit group of friends grows, but they soon realize that some relationships are bound to grow closer while others are destined to drift apart.

**
The two protagonists of the show started as best friends in a high school setting, and after years of separation and reconciliation, they eventually confess their love for each other.

The show takes a nostalgic look back at high school memories and emphasizes the value of friendships, and also has a good sense of humor.

Wu Shiyi, a female bodyguard, who is hired by her former client, Hou Zhirong, to protect his son. Despite initial resistance from the headstrong Hou Jue, Wu Shiyi proves herself to be a capable bodyguard who won't easily back down. Along the way, a love story between Wu Shiyi and Hou Jue develops amidst death threats and danger.

**
boss-employee relationship with an age gap, where the male lead has a good sense of humor, and the female lead is serious but can fight off bad guys.

While the story doesn't have any breakups, it takes some time for the main characters to get together romantically.

Gu Xi Xi, a fashion shopper, and Yin Si Chen, a black-bellied president, enter into a temporary contract marriage for business reasons. As they work together, they gradually fall in love despite their contrasting personalities.

**
An arranged marriage between the male and female leads is the central plot of the story, with no breakups occurring. However, other characters also develop feelings for the main characters, adding to the drama. The show features a lot of fluffy and sometimes cringe-worthy moments.

Cheng Mu, a hard-working dessert shop manager, attracts the attention of snobby food bloggers. Among them is wealthy food blogger Jiang Si Han, who becomes a regular at Cheng Mu's shop and eventually finds herself falling for him.

**
The chemistry between the leads is palpable, and while their story is the main focus, the secondary couple also draws attention as they are cute together despite their fast-paced relationship. The drama is free from any breakups.

Jiang Jun is a highly educated and idealistic young woman who works in philanthropy until her father's sudden accident forces her to join a top investment company. There she meets Yuan Shuai, her childhood playmate turned rival, in a cutthroat environment where someone is plotting against her. Despite the challenges, Jiang Jun's skills and kindness help her succeed in both her career and love life.

**
The leads have good chemistry, but the story failed to capture my attention. While the concept of being allergic to tears is intriguing, it wasn't enough to keep me invested in the show. As a result, I ended up skipping from episode 6 to episodes 31-36.

The budding romance between Gu Sheng Nan, an underestimated commis at the Zijing Hotel, and Lu Jin, a sharp-tongued CEO and hardcore foodie. Despite their initial misunderstandings and differences, the two form an unexpected bond over their shared love of food.

**
The FL and ML have a cute and funny dynamic, despite the age gap between them. Although there were some moments of separation and misunderstandings, they were quickly resolved.

Xia Lin, a C-list actress, and Lin Yi Zhou, the president of Ling Group, are brought together by a crisis of public opinion, despite their initial dislike for each other. This situation creates a series of accidental encounters that ultimately lead to a sweet and romantic relationship between the two characters. 

**
Arranged Marriage Contract. There were no breakups, but the two leads had a misunderstanding that led to a few episodes of silence between them. 

In the last episode, the female lead announced that she was pregnant. 

Gao Liang and Gu Yi Ye are new recruits in the same unit and, despite their different backgrounds and personalities, become comrades-in-arms. Over the years, they face various challenges and trials, both in their personal lives and in their military careers, and strive to become heroic Ace Troops.

**
I liked how the drama explored the camaraderie between the soldiers and depicted their battles. While the love story was a major part of the plot, I didn't like how it began with a breakup and moving on from another comrade, but the ending did provide some closure. Overall, it was an okay drama.

After suffering from a miscarriage and infidelity, Yun is forced to leave the country. Five years later, she returns as a top model and infiltrates her ex-husband's house as a nanny to get revenge, clear her name, and resolve the misunderstandings between them.

**
This is one of the most typical romance dramas that I've watched, where there are full of misunderstandings, villains, and mistrust between the male lead and the female lead. The only reason why I was able to finish this drama was that the child is so cute.

The ending was typical. Overall, it was a so-so drama.

Jiang Hao Yue and Lu Miao were childhood friends who become more than siblings as they grow older. Shi Che's appearance disrupts their relationship and creates a sense of unease for Jiang Hao Yue.

**
I love how the main leads in this drama stick together despite some misunderstandings. Throughout the drama, they are not officially a couple but lowkey show their love for each other, which culminates in the last episode. There is a minor love triangle, but what's beautiful is that both main leads only have eyes for each other.

I also like how their friendships grow and develop throughout the series. I even enjoyed the second couple, although it took 21 episodes for the second male lead to develop feelings for the best friend of the female lead. I hope they can have another drama together.

Overall, this was a fun coming-of-age drama.

Lei Chu Xia travels through time from 2011 to 2021 and becomes dependent on the presence of Xu Xiao Dong. As they work together to uncover the past, Xu Xiao Dong helps Lei Chu Xia regain her lost memories.

**
Majority of the comments I've read said that the ending is sad, but for me, the choice of the female lead is good for both of them since no matter the year or universe, they are destined to meet. I totally understand why the female chose the heartbreaking path.

I actually enjoyed their love-hate relationship and am glad they didn't break up on their own terms. The villain of the drama was also good, to the point that I got annoyed (LOL!).

I am not looking forward to a season 2 for this drama. I like how it ended.

Love story between He Qiao Yan, a CEO of a company, and Qin Yi Yue, a child psychologist. They start off as acquaintances but their relationship blossoms into love.

**
The child actor is cute and performs well, and the two main leads have good chemistry. However, I found the drama not interesting enough and ended up skipping most of the episodes.

A story about the love-hate relationship between a dentist and a university librarian, who eventually fall in love. The story also follows the lives of their friends and how their relationships change over time.

**
It's a cute drama with some fluffy moments for the three couples, but I'm not totally hooked. I had to skip a few scenes, so overall, it's a so-so drama. What's nice is that there was no break-up despite the half-year long-distance relationship, and it wasn't a hindrance to the main leads' relationship

Shi Yi, a successful voice actress, meets Zhou Sheng Chen, a chemistry professor, at an airport and they develop a deep connection as they work together to overcome obstacles and preserve traditional crafts. They decide to support each other for the rest of their lives, finding happiness in their companionship.

the drama is definitely great. I loved the character of the main leads, both have a great chemistry. What makes me amazed on this drama is that despite the other minor conflicts around them, they always make up for each other and never break up. This is indeed true love!

on the last episode, the female lead announced that she is 3 months pregnant.

Ding Xian and Zhou Si Yue develop a strong bond of love and companionship from their initial animosity towards each other in high school, as they discover and appreciate each other's unique qualities and navigate through their journey of youth together.

**
This is a cute coming-of-age love story. I also admire their friendship bond, though as they started growing up, they began keeping things to themselves not to worry the other.

The main leads have great chemistry with one another, and I liked how they bicker and show affection to one another. Though it took them until college to become a couple and there were some minor love rivals and the male lead distancing himself from the female lead for some reasons, they still found a way to be together.

Fang Jian Jian enters her comatose husband's brain through a brain-computer experiment to relive three significant memories and save him. The drama depicts their journey through these memories and their love story.

The main lead has good chemistry with their partners. The drama is mixed with serious scenes and comedy, though there are serious scenes mixed with comedy. I had to skip most of the scenes because they were too dramatic for love rivals. So-so. 

For the adult male lead's relationship, they broke up because of some love rival conflict, while for the young male lead's relationship, his love bloomed, and he became a couple on the last two episodes of the drama

It was refreshing, and I had a good laugh for this comedy drama.

There were conflicts and often misunderstandings between the main leads and other couples, but they were not as heavy as compared to other dramas. I also appreciated the stories of the other couples.

 I loved how they focused on women's empowerment and family ties. At the end of the episode, the female lead announced that she's pregnant.

Liang You An, an executive assistant, and Song San Chuan, a professional badminton player, cross paths and become friends, ultimately growing into a romantic relationship that helps them both to achieve their life and career goals, despite their age difference and different backgrounds.

IQIYI  /  Tencent Video  /  VIKI  /  WeTV  /  not in YOUTUBE  /  KissAsian https://kissasian.li/Drama/Nothing-But-You

**
This drama is somewhat similar to 'Meet Yourself,' where the main leads' romance starts as a slow-burning yet beautiful relationship, progressing from strangers to acquaintances, workmates, friends, and finally, a married couple in the last episode of the drama. In 'Meet Yourself,' the focus is on the life and loss of all characters involved, while in 'Nothing But You,' the focus is on career growth, particularly in sports, which is nice.

Most of the comments I've read suggest that this drama is similar to 'Something in the Rain,' a Korean drama where the main leads have an age gap difference. Normally, I'm not interested in age-gap romances, but I was able to finish and get hooked on this drama, maybe because the actors who portray the roles didn't appear to have an age gap difference to me, unlike in 'Something in the Rain.' Even though my favorite actor and actress played the roles in the latter drama, the obvious gap they had made me hesitant to watch it.

Overall, this drama is good. The main leads and the other couple in the drama have chemistry, and there are no big issues or breakups, which is another reason why I like it.

The story is about Qian Xi Xi and Duan Ran, childhood friends from different social classes, who find themselves working together in the world of e-commerce live-streaming.

It was a nice drama filled with lessons about e-commerce live streaming careers and childhood relationships that blossomed into romance between the main characters. Their relationship was filled with easy banter and sweet moments. They officially got together on the 23rd episode and faced struggles in their jobs and personal lives, but they never broke up. 

Si Qing, a materialistic loan banker, and Jing Chen, a humble traditional craftsman, are brought together by fate when Si Qing is sent to collect a bad loan from Jing Chen.

The main aspect that captivated me about this drama was the relationship between the female lead and her brother. They claimed it was based on a true story of sibling love, and it was incredibly touching. The main leads were adorable, and I also enjoyed the chemistry between the other couples. However, I gave it a less-than-perfect rating due to the prolonged misunderstandings between the main leads, which took them years to resolve. 

In a city shaken by a mysterious burglary, Li Jing Liu and Long Ao Yi, two overlords from different classes, are forced to put aside their prejudices and work together.

I would rate the drama 7.5 for several reasons. Firstly, I expected a storyline with misunderstandings or arguments between the main leads, but not breakups or love triangles. Unfortunately, this drama had them. 

Secondly, the portrayal of the female lead's work environment felt exaggerated, with a villain or insecure superior endangering her life. In contrast, the male lead's workplace had unity and a family-like atmosphere. While insecurity exists in reality, it rarely reaches life-or-death situations. 

Thirdly, certain scenes seemed unrealistic or unnecessary, such as the female lead being the sole savior when there were other firefighters available. This happened twice, even during the earthquake. Although the female lead had training and knowledge, it seemed unnecessary given the presence of other firefighters. 

Fourthly, I found myself more invested in the other couples, particularly the doctor and the other firefighter. Their love story and career situations felt more grounded in reality, unlike some unnecessary and unrealistic scenes in this drama. 

Overall, the drama was good, especially the smooth portrayal of the family bond among the firefighters and their dogs. The chemistry between the leads was strong, and I appreciated their unique characters compared to other dramas I've watched. The only downside was that some scenes reminded me that this is fictional and not reflective of real life. LOL!

Compared to their previous drama, I truly appreciated the chemistry between the main leads in this one. The child actor was adorable and displayed remarkable acting skills, creating a great dynamic with the main leads. However, I wasn't a fan of the 5-year breakup and the misunderstandings between them. Nevertheless, it was still cute overall.

This drama reminded me of "The Love You Give Me" due to the involvement of a child, but the main difference lies in the genuine relationship they have with the kids, including a set of twins. I wasn't particularly hooked on the chemistry between the main leads or the acting of the male lead, but it was decent enough.

This year, I watched three firefighter-themed dramas: Each took a different angle on firefighting. Among them, I particularly appreciated this drama for its focus on the professional side of firefighters - save lives, train hard, and face challenges. It taught about fires and earthquakes even after the show ended. It was different because it didn't focus much on romance. The ending was controversial, but I found it satisfying. The unity of firefighters risking their lives impressed me. The final scene with the lead dancing warmed my heart.

Firefighters do more than fight fires; they rescue from dangers like collapsed buildings, forest fires, floods, and everyday emergencies. This drama showed their many roles and deserves appreciation.

The show taught me a lot, with humor, relationships, and strong bonds among firefighters. Their station felt like a family. I felt for their losses and struggles. Despite challenges, their unity inspired. Antagonists mainly affected the female lead, and the enduring love between main characters touched me.

The drama excelled in showing firefighters' lives. The cast, including real family members, added depth. The struggles depicted were powerful, leaving impactful messages.

The storyline of this drama is quite interesting, and all the cast members did an excellent job portraying their roles. Their emotions were palpable, and the chemistry between the characters was evident. However, there were several aspects of the drama that left much to be desired:

• The story, while promising, suffered from slow execution and drawn-out flashbacks. It felt like the plot could have been condensed into just a few episodes, rather than being stretched out over half the series.
• The villains in the drama lacked convincing motivations. 
• The delayed confession of feelings between the secondary female and the secondary male-villain was unsatisfying. Their conflict seemed to revolve solely around unrequited love, and their sudden demise felt anticlimactic.
• The love triangle involving the female lead's best friend and the male lead's assistants had potential, but it was underdeveloped and lacked a sense of conflict. It took far too long for the characters to address their feelings, and the resolution felt lacking.
• Several characters felt unnecessary or irrelevant to the story, such as the father of the female lead's best friend, who didn't contribute to the overall narrative.
• The ending left much to be desired, especially in how it handled the fates of the supporting cast. It seemed rushed and unsatisfying, particularly in the transformation of the male lead's assistants into foxes.

While the drama had a promising start, it suffered from flaws and inconsistencies in its later episodes. The pacing, character motivations, and resolutions left much to be desired. Personally, I found myself skipping parts, and the only reason I stuck with the drama was because of the characters played by Johnny and the intriguing love triangles.
