So Far So Good
So many dramas this year are trying too hard to make a good drama. I haven't been too lost in this one, but the story line could be a bit better. I'm not a fan of skipping backwards and forwards on a timeline. Thankfully my newest bias, Lin Mu Ran, has finally shown up in this drama. Those dimples speak to me and those eyes are definitely wonderful to see. He appears as an assassin, but not a very serious one so far. Of course I love the FL and ML and the action in it has kept me watching. It's not dragging out scenes. I'm writing this review sooner than most. Nothing can beat Pursuit Of Jade, but this drama beats most of the ones presented this year. Happy watch!Was this review helpful to you?

Disastrous Way To Begin
When you have parents invited to a dating show, their feelings should be considered by the producers. I felt so sad for the mom and daughter that didn't get chosen for tea. Why not start with a speed dating type start off where they shift to the next table? I don't know if I can continue to watch this as I am a parent of 3 girls. I have confidence any of mine would have been chosen, but my heart would break for the table not chosen. This is wrong and should have started off differently. I love my girls to the moon and back and would have probably got up and walked out with my daughter in tow had we been the table not chosen. Wrong, wrong and really wrong start off.Made it halfway through the 2nd episode and quit for now. Mom's picks are so money driven that it sickens me. Picking a person has to have a balance of personality, appearance and career. The guy that has a chain of restaurants is impressive, but unfortunately he's only 29. Why age is such a factor in Asian countries, I will NEVER understand. I have dated men 7 years younger to 10 years older. I prefer younger men, but age is the last question rather than a first question. Age is only a number. I will have to watch this in short spurts because of the cultural differences.

Series 1 Or No?
This began as a great drama. I started to feel uneasy on the last 2 episodes. The ending sucked, but made way for another round of episodes. I knew by how slowly the last episode was playing out that something bad would happen. Too many untied knots were not loosened up. IMO they should have made a complete series. I will hesitate to get so invested to be let down again. No one communicates fully, 30 yo virgins are unheard of with awful communication skills, unsolved relationships and workforce problems that are walked away from and such a let down at the end. I'm pretty upset and feel robbed. Oh well, I'm sure not everyone will fill this way, but I do.Oops just learned there are 2 more episodes. Still cowardly to just walk away when he went deaf when she accepts him already flaws and all pretty lame

Slightly Annoying
I understand that child abduction and trafficking cases are difficult as there are so many children that get abducted and trafficked. BUT...the police in this drama are not even fully prepared on stakeouts. For instance the stakeout in episode 3. Why were no officers staked out back at the establishment and abductors got away with one girl? The arguments with suspects are truly annoying and get no where. Why aren't the police not fully bringing in all the people whose names were mentioned (like the cousin in Lishuan who helped the couple that bought a baby) and questioned. Another thing that bothered me was they chased a van with a false plate with a baby inside that was supposedly their child. Go back to the house where they got the plate on camera and search it. The script is lame, not the actors. Don't know if I can finish watching thisWas this review helpful to you?
11 BILLION or is it 11 TRILLION?
I am enjoying this drama and anticipate it to build as each episode airs. Wrong amount in written above. They keep saying 11 TRILLION in the drama not 11 billion. Love the ML. I can't hardly wait to see if he is married and to whom. Lordy the first episode was really tense in the board room. I want to throat punch the chairman. I faithfully believe he will get what's coming to him.Was this review helpful to you?
The Legend of Shin Li
This is a different costume drama that gets you hooked from the get-go. I am on Ep. 8 and my interest has not wavered one but. I love the dry humor that I totally understand and have laughed on several episodes. I love both male and female leads, and I feel her attraction to him. I am not quite sure if I feel his attraction to her or if I just expect it. It will be interesting to watch how it unfolds. All the actors in this drama are very attractive and are good at their parts.Was this review helpful to you?
Excited
Ever since Revenge of Begonia, I have been a Hong Xiao fan girl. I have just started watching Fatal Allure and know it will be great. Dai Gao Zheng is great and sexy in every drama and haven't found where he doesn't connect with his FL. I am looking forward to this drama because the start of caught my attention right off the bat. I have been enthralled without looking away since the 4th episode. I know Chinese culture is different than the US, but I would have told gramps to go eff himself.Was this review helpful to you?
I Hate Voice Overs
Aaaaaarghhhhhh! I am totally distracted watching the video because of the voice overs. I know Bai Lu's voice and the too kiddish voice being used is sickening. They've ruined this drama right off the bat. We all know she is no longer a kid, but her looks or video enhancing says otherwise. Why? Why? Why? Someone needs to rethink their career if they think this is acceptable.Was this review helpful to you?
