Who's the magician ?

I must say came in with zero expectation of this drama and finished with 100%. This is a such a rare drama because its a short drama. Each episode literally gets you sitting on the edge.

Plot; The cruise ship Ji Le hao is where it takes place. The back story is that evil guy commander raided a wealthy family and it is said that a camera films holds the location of were all the wealth is stored. The evil commander guy's subordinate all start to mysterious die from someone called the magician. The female lead is on the cruise ship to Nan Jiang. The female lead definitely holds the spotlight. Her identity is the fiancee of the third male lead aka one of the evil commander subordinate. The male lead is a reporter. The second male lead is police officer. A murder has occurred in the ship and they are trying to solve who is behind the murder.

The murder mystery gets more interesting as each episodes continues and it doesnt look its momentum. It literally had two major shocking points and got me shivering haha, like mind blown.

I also like how they narrate each character's story/ background. Like the female lead's financee, and other important characters on the ship., the police man, the male lead, the captain/ second captain of the ship.

into the book and find romance!

This drama is only 12 ep but it definitely did not disappoint! More people should watch this! I like this genre/concept.

The male lead is storybook traveler. The female lead encounter the male lead when she was young and was gifted a jade bracelet. This jade bracelet helps her to travel between stories. Inside the story the female lead takes on the role of the female lead and try to complete a task. There is one that is set in the future, one where the male lead is a ceo. The stories are interesting and the romance is good! there is quite a few kisses.

However they didnt really explain the background of the male lead.. so hoping there is a season two. Also not explained well was the evil spirit that took over his friend. ( he was guarding the book while the leads where inside the story)

Lion meets the girl!

I came in watching with no expectation but was greatly surprised! First of all Huang xiao yun nailed the theme song!

The overall story is a refresher, since it' s has a Peking opera storyline meets movie/production tech!

Female lead is a Peking Opera singer at Shan Ding Ting.( she sings the male part) She likes her senior ( who sings the female counterpart). On one show she messes up her lines because she found out that her senior was going to get engaged to someone else. She eventually gets kicked out. The male lead is in theater tech production who focus on ancient day shows. He seeks out a character for his show and thinks the female lead is the perfect fit. She initially rejects but because her mom needs the money she accepts the role. The leads end up losing contact because the female lead's mom past away. The female lead is trying to make a career for herself, trying to get more on screen time! They eventually become a couple. The male lead has a troubled past which always bothers him. His mom committed suicide at a young age and that haunt him. Ever since he couldnt stand closets or look at blood or else he will faint and go to the hospital. The female lead has dreams, and the lion represents the male lead. The Lions seems strong and scary but the female lead is not scary. Initially it was the lion protecting the girl but becomes the girl protecting the lion.

They have a cute and sweet relationship together! Very believable romance! and some cute scenes together!

Cliche love story about a female programmer trying to chase the male lead

To be honest this drama wasn't too bad! I mean definitely it was very cliche and troupey, but at least I was able to finish it.
Female lead plays an online game and falls in love with the male lead. Male lead is super smart in programming. Their lives don't really meet until the female lead cross dresses like a guy to be in the male lead's company. He created a rule in his company where there are no female programmers. Their execution of the female lead trying to hide as a male wasn't very good. She was obviously still very cute and pretty with eyeliner and lashes. I guess that wasnt something too strong they focused on, because soon after her identity gets found out. I feel like her identity gets revealed kinda strangely....

This drama is full of cliches, like the ex of male lead coming back and wanting to be together, female lead gets pregnant and decides to leave, eventually getting back together etc...

This drama doesnt focus on programming but more with the relationships between the different characters, like the leads, the second male and female lead and female lead's best friend relationship, as well as male lead's company staff relationship. Its more romance focused.

I love Xing Zhao lin! He is so passionated with his kisses and has good chemistry with all his co stars! A personal bias of mine! I prefer him with Liang Jie !!!! Haha

This drama is a decent , while you got nothing to watch and have some time to kill. But if you can't stand cliches , you probably should skip it!

CEO who is a germaphobic who falls in love

This drama is a solid 9, would have given it a 9.5 if not for the last five episode!
Overall the drama is really interesting and loved all the pairings! There were a total of three pairs. 1) Female and male lead
2) female lead's bro and female lead's best friend 3) male lead right hand man and a famous vlogger

I usually dont like the side characters having too much screen time but the other two couples was too cute !!! The female and male lead pairing is also super cute. Male lead is an ceo of an cleaning company, he develops germophobia from a young age due to his grandfather words always saying he is dirty and pressuring him to get 100 points and be the best. Female lead comes from a poorer background, dirtyish , and works a lot of jobs to help her father out. Her mom died in an car accident a couple years back. She also has a brother who is just graduate high school.

The male lead encounters the female leads many times and she ends up landing a job as part of the cleaning crew . Initally he thinks she is lazy and has a motive towards him, but slowly he realizes that she is hardworking and very sunny. His germophobia starts to lessen towards her and he falls in love with her. The male lead is doing therapy during this time. his therapist is living next door to female lead's house. He helps her from time to time.

Why did i dock .5 away? 1) I felt like the drama was too smooth up until ep 20. After that there was a bump but that scenario wasnt clearly explained or developed. It felt all of a sudden! There was slight character development, the female lead went from just being a cleaning crew to being a manager and offering her ideas to the group. The male lead on the other hand didnt have much progress with his germophobia.

The story of the right hand man and the vlogger was cute. RIght hand man is kinda blockish but stills know how to chase after the vlogge. They have some cute scenes together.

Also the brother and best friend is cute too. Best friend is older than the brother but he still pursues her. They have some moments that make your heart stop too !

For the leads they have a good amount of kissing scenes. It's like the male lead is only immune to the female leads germs. Always wanting to kiss her. The kisses were cute and believable , not just a peck on the lips. Jasper Liu is just way too cute and good looking! I love his dimples so much!

Cute mini drama of female bandit and male master

This drama is a mini drama with 15 mins ep.. They put it all in 4 episodes for 50 minutes long.
This drama was really good. Well written and produced. Sometimes the mini drama are so low budget the production/filming is horrible. This one has a cute love story.

The female lead is a bandit an d gets caught by the Huang family. She is given the choice to marry the Huang's second son or die. In order to save her other bandit mate she marries him. The male lead is the second son of the Huang family. He is a scholar. Initially they start off with the wrong foot, but then he realizes her good characteristics.

Its a cute and sweet love story between them. Their passion and romance is believable. Even though its 4 ep, there are enough kissing scenes,

Certain characters are funny like her maid ( but actually) its a dude. Other characters are annoying tho, like the other female character, who likes the male lead. They grew up together. Even after the leads got married she tried to butt her way in the relationship....

relationship specialist found love ?

This is like a mini drama, with 12 episodes totally and like 20 minutes long. I was expecting it to be a lot better, i mean its so short that it shoulda been more packed with the cute scenes but thats not the case. I would of loved to see this developed in to 24 episodes, it was just not enough. The basic story line seems cute but in actuality quite bland.

Storyline- The male lead has been single for 6 years and wants to find someone to help him out, they find a relationship specialist who help him know more about himself. That person is the female lead. The male lead doesnt really know how to interact with females and kinda blockish and cold. Through the "therapy" , he finds himself falling in love with her.
the female lead on the other hand, isnt particularly interested in the male lead , always giving distant/being cold. She doesnt want to get into another relationship , for the fear that if it doesnt work out , she'll feel like she's a failure/worthless. The male lead still persist and they are finally together!

There are not enough sweet moments of them together. The second pairing got more time together! The female lesd was more hesitant in the relationship and i feel couple episodes was a waste of time, didnt have further plot development. They had couple of kisses but the second pairing had more chemistry.

This drama was the second drama for the two lead. Storyline had many loopholes but was a decent watch.
I really liked the actor/actress Zhang Zhe han and Ju Jing Yi . They make a very cute couple., but for their cute scenes together there is not much of and hardly any kissing scenes...

Storyline - The female lead is a cute, lovable, smart, quirky kinda girl, she is the second daughter of the Fu family. Male lead is the prince, who is good looking , loyal and a warrior. The summary talks about how the female lead gets visions /flashbacks about her future, but i felt the way it was done, didn't add any excitement to the drama, it just felt kinda odd like on the side. She didnt want to die young, and get buried alive.
The female lead has a teacher who teaches her about jewelry making, turns out the master has another identity which she uses her jewelry business to secret get info about other people and sells it, to make money? While the female lead was young she befriends An Wang, who is the male lead's uncle, but they are basically around the same age. He has a hidden resentment towards the male lead and blames the male lead for his mother's death. Thus he wants to take revenge and finds opportunities to kill the male lead. An wang isnt the only evil person. There is another prince who is evil and chimes in to get rid of the male lead. An Wang aka uncle likes the female lead, but his anger and revenge surpasses his love for her.... in the mean time her teacher dies and she tries to figure out what happened.

There were too many evil people in this drama , to a point i didnt even know who that person was lol turns out it was a prince...
The story behind An wang and his mother's death was kinda wonky... I mean you dont even tey to investigate and just blindly believe , the male lead accidentally set fire and killed yo mom ? The ending for his was the most ridiculous... He died to see his mother was still living... so pointless . He was so blinded by hate and revenge....

The story talked about both the female and male lead seeing dreams but , literally that was it. They kept it to each other and didnt even share it with each other. I though the dreams part of it would be implemented more into the drama, but felt it was separate.

Female lead and male lead relationship is cute, but i find that when something happens , she ALWAYS accuses him of being the culprit. I mean if you love him , shouldnt you trust him? why you gotta hurt my male lead ? And it always revolved around he li ( which is divorce) , They try to divorce each other like three times.... I would summarize their relationship as cute... misunderstanding,... wanting to get a divorce...... finally resolving the misunderstanding...

The female lead's sister and the general had a cuter story and cuter moments. It was really sweet and felt the chemistry. Their relationship was first bicker then slowly falling in love without any thing to hinder their relationship, just simple and sweet. While female and male pairing was also cute but not enough time together, and too many misunderstanding, and not enough passionate kisses, lol only peck on the lips.

But i loved the female lead's hairstyle and accessories she put on her head, and her makeup is absolutely on point!!!!

Revenge, Love , defeat the enemy

To me I have lower the bar for wuxia genres, esp when they are 45 ep or longer. I just find them to be a drag. This one I made it without contemplating dropping. I think it started really cute. Kinda like romeo and juliet , where the female and male lead fall in love, but their families have hatred towards each other( esp the male's family)

The basic story is the female lead's family leads one city, and then the male lead family is the lead in one city. Male lead fam wants revenge from the female fam ( rong family) because they killed ( na lan family's patriarch) . Then the story leads in a side line , introducing the ultimate evil woman. She is basically the master of the dad of rong's fam and of na lan fam's mom. She is super sinister and looks youthful but she is in fact really old. Everyone gets all caught up about the chi hua zhu which is suppose to be a healing flower? or healing ball thing? Basically if you are sick , it can heal you but theres a price to pay. You get poisoned by it if you dont take it all at once .

I would say the main plot was revenge and then trying to defeat the big boss aka evil old lady.

Romance- like some reviews said, i didnt really feel their romance. I felt in the beginning how they got together was kinda like really? lol that was quick.... to me the female lead's love couldnt pass the test, i mean when something bad happens she would really quietly blame the male lead... but she redeems herself at the end

A cute bit was how each side character got some kind of romantic development which was cute. but not so much for the second male lead :( I cried towards the end because the second male lead dies , he sacrificed his life for the female leads sister. It was totally unrequited love. I liked how the sisters relationship was finally mended at the end ( their relationship was strenuous throughout)

Overall its not a bad watch , but a lot of parts needed skipping lol.

A Story of revenge!

Not the drama for you if your looking for something light and romance. This drama's main drive is REVENGE!

The story starts off weird already... soul swapping the female lead and her sister's soul gets swapped. Except her sister is dead....

Female lead is Yan mo Wan, but technically she is Yan Mo Xin her sister. They swapped souls when her sister was about to get murdered through poison. So her soul is in female lead's body and she runs away from getting chased by soldiers , she meets the male lead Ye Jun Qing. she also lose her memory. After her encounter with the male lead, she starts to fall in love. Finally she finds out that she is the third daughter of the Yan family. She slowly regains her sister's wits and memory and plots for revenge, to avenge for her sister's death.

The female lead's personality is smart, witty, kind , brave and bold. She plots revenge and investigates her sister's death and miscarriage incident. Along the way she is met by the concubines from the royal harem, trying to harm and kill her. Even her own uncle tries to kill her, but they all fail against her wit.

This drama had way too many plot holes. Like how some characters were randomly popped in. Whose who??? The king really started out not bad, he was in love with the sister, but then was willing to sacrifice her if that meant the baby wasnt his. Basically anything that got in his way of the throne, he would kill and began to be very ruthless.

This drama was a disappoint. I was so bored by the last five episodes, and at the end the twist was kinda stupid, like honest how could that happen? it just felt like they squished a lot of content/ wanted to pack a lot. How did her sister miraculously wake up? wasnt she like dead? lol i dont even know !

I wish they would have more cute scenes between the two leads before she gave him up and became the king's empress. There was only like 3 kissing scene, one in the beginning few eps, one in the middle ish and one at the end.

I only recommend to watch is you really have nothing else to watch >_<

Where do i even begin with this drama? This drama is scifi historical mixed with time traveling.

The male lead is a general in the times of the warring states. There are different historical figures inside the drama including Qin Shi Hang, Liu bang etc.

The back story of this drama is there is a alien that came to the earth and got stuck there. She has to rebuild her ship or something like that. She helps different people fight for power. She has magical powers. Her ultimate goal is to wipe out the human species and go back home.

The female lead is from the future so she knows she knows certain historical facts and brings on a lot of scientific facts.
The male and female lead go through and battle in a lot of war and ulimately unravels the alien's mater plan. Along the way they find treasures that belong to the alien god. They basically prevent them for destroying the earth.

With all that being said , I would say this drama is pretty interesting but really weird. The historical part comes with them trying to defeat Qin shi Huang and Liu bang fighting to become king etc. There is some romantic moments in the drama too.

funny rom com ? ....... ughh ...

PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS DRAMA TO HEAVILY. TOO BE HONEST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF DRAMA ILL BE GETTING INTO ... this is suppose to be a rom com set in the older days? TO BE QUIET HONEST I CAN'T STAND THIS DRAMA... like some parts are funny but the rest is just kinda stupid and naive no offense ( to people who actually like)

The male lead's acting /character is way too cringy to a point i cannot stand. He is so overly narcissistic and loves himself and thinks his maid ( the female lead) should love him too ). I seriously cant even take him seriously lol. btw he also has kung fu abilities/ martial arts which they drastically exaggerate .

The female lead however is really repulsed by him... doesnt like the fact hes so narcissistic. She has been his maid for ten years. Her backstory is that she tries to find her " elder bother" not actually related by blood but who she grew up with, but she loses her memory , so she's trying to find him.

I've watch 12 episodes, there is no plot development or romantic development. The master forces like two kisses between them, which is really weird. feels to pushy... I would think maybe he would finally realize that he needs to respect and listen to her? treat her like a person and not just like a slave/servant?

maybe this genre of ancient rom com isnt for me?

A girl who can recognize people's face

this drama is wayy too boring, there is nothing really interesting about this drama. The leads dont have much chemistry.

The female lead has a syndrome where she cant recognize people's face, because of this she was bullied from when she was young. When she was young a little boy help saved her and she has always remember that person despite remembering his face.

Fast forward she is now in college.. She wins an award for a photography contest. She is accused of copying someone elses photo, this is when the male lead come and saves her. I dont like the fact that in college there were people trying to bully her and make fun of her... The female lead doesnt have much development....

nothing particular stands out... and i dont even ship their romance...

Started off well but afterwards annoying sister ruined it all

The first 15 episodes was good! I actually really liked the beginning of the story and thought it was different, however continue watching was such a let down!

Female lead Xian Qian is a bargainer, who helps people get things they like for a lot cheaper of a price, for example trying to bargain hunt for a place of wedding... Two years ago her boyfriend ran out on their engagement party, which was held Chang Sheng hotel. The male lead is Chang Sheng's ceo. He witnessed the breakup of the couple and accused her of pressing the fire alarm.
Xian Qian and Sheng Zhe Ming meet through, Xia Qian organizing Zhe Ming sister's wedding. It also turns out Xia Qian 's ex is with Zhe Ming's sister. Before she knew this she tried all her best to get a booking the Chang Sheng hotel. She even tries to go uncover to steal the list of people who supposely has a wedding on that day to see if they could change times.

The leads meet and slowly but surely the male lead falls for female lead. I love the female lead's character, she's smart, sensible, and down to earth. I also like their bickering. I think it was cute when they finally got together.

But knowing it was 40 episodes, there was bound to be some drama. First of all didnt really care for Wu QiLong to be the second? lead. He falls in love with Xia Qian's coworker. Their storyline is pretty much skip worthy! The other storyline is the ex fiancee and the lead's sister. Except the lead's sister is a bitch ! and super annoying. She's always jealous of the female lead, shes always trying to do things to hinder her brother and female lead's relationship.

As for story development wise it becomes weak.. and pretty boring. I would of love to see more cases that she worked on to bargain or something along the lines. There wasnt much plot development.

Time traveling meets deity meets chinese harry potter?

To be honest the story was like a 7/ 10. The story is too complicated and doesn't explain itself well.. Its too busy
1) female lead time travels or her soul gets transfered into Feng Wu 's body. She holds phoenix powers but lost the phoenix blood because the evil girl in the story took it from her. ( but theres no showing of the soul transfer)
2) Female lead has a master who has been in slumber, due to the fact that he tried to save feng wu when she lost her phoenix blood ... So feng wu mission becomes finding the broken spirit/soul pieces of her master, to awaken him., all while she is attending an academy ( kinda like the ones of harry potter)
3) The "supposely" heaven queen.. Her story is kinda complicated too.. she isnt a pure character but also one who is evil. She tries to over throw the heaven king which is her husband. She holds hatred for feng wu's master, because when the queen was young , she like the master, but the master didn't like her.... so hence she doesnt want feng wu to find the other parts of his soul.
4) Other parts of the story involves battling mythical creatures. ( which was interesting)
5) At the academy there is a master who ends up turning evil ? His character story line was awkward and weird.
6) some of the effects were way to fake.... like the thunder/lighting part... sighs..

Onto some of the parts i liked...
1) Male lead is handsome and definitely the driver of this drama. Female lead just didnt stand out enough.
2) Male lead's love for female lead. He really liked her and showed his affection for her. For her she did too but it didn't feel the same. Some are saying that they have no chemistry, which i agree and disgree on. The scenes of them being together is sweet tho !!!! it doesnt involve kissing . But for the kissing scenes it was not the greatest and no chemistry. I feel like a lot of them just lock lips and then don't move, lol that really isnt a kiss. They just hold it there, or another famous one is the spontaneous kiss which catches the female lead by surprise. haha maybe i'm too picky about the kissing scenes.
3) second male lead is also cute and caring towards the female lead. I didn't like his ending/ what happened to him
4)I liked how the female lead was a really kind character and innocent character.

It started off pretty solid, but after 20 something episodes , everything unravels and becomes kinda blunt and doesnt explain itself well. :( its not a bad watch, but got tired of it ...
