journey of getting into the career and growing with the budding of a sweet romance from her youth

Overall its not a bad drama , but the first chunk of episodes were a bore, until they finally kissed/ got into their relationship. This drama was so hyped and so many snippets on youtube! it started off with a bang! Even has a kiss in the first episode, but then it slowly went bland. The first part was about Jiang Jun ( female lead) trying to get into the company MH. That company is where the male lead is working at. She automatically gets eliminated because the male lead Yuan Shuai thinks she isnt a good fit for the job. This is because when she cries she gets an allergic reaction from her tears and goes to the hopsital. Yuan Shuai have known the female lead Jiang Jun every since they were young. Her dad even hired Yuan shuai to help protect her from shedding a tear. He develops a crush for her but never tells her. Due to an incident, she had to transfer schools and at that time Yuan Shuai had to study overseas, so they were apart for 10 years. Noe they mean back at the MH company.

Their chemistry is like off the charts! I was here for the romance lol ! They are such a cute bickering cute and they have incredible chemistry, Their kissing scenes are full of passionate. Yuan shuai is really good to protect Jiang Jun . Their chemistry dont beat " dating in the kitchen" pairing.

The plot got interesting when they worked hand in hand to find out the real truth behind Jiang Jun dad's death. After they solved that, there was 6 more episodes and then things just felt boring again... Like it didnt really link up well enough...

Fun fact - their names Jiang jun means general and Yuan shuai is another word for general in the older days. Which was a cute and creative touch.

Cute chef meets handsome ceo but thats it...

TO BE QUITE HONEST, I FEEL LIKE THE DRAMA HAS BEEN SPOILED FOR ME!! THROUGH THE YOUTUBE SNIPPETS OF THEIR CUTE CHEMISTRY. I absolutely adore those parts but the other half of the story was pretty much skip worthy/ not much excitement. This story is supposedly revolved around food but I find that not to be true in the latter half. The story progress kinda of weird. The focus is not longer her in the kitchen but about the male lead's company etc. To me this series seems too over hyped!! don't get me wrong I love the chemistry.

Female lead is a chef at a four star restaurant ( although she doesn't start off as one) . Her food catches the taste buds on a male lead ceo. He was suppose to take over/ find someone to run the restaurant, but ends up falling for the chef that cooks the food) aka female lead)

Female lead . Super sweet, cute , adorable. Like how could you not liker her character? Male lead is super handsome, oozing with the suaveness of a hot older man, he's responsible and caring. To me the major highlight of this drama is the sweet relationship, their chemistry is impeccable! if that was the whole drama , oh boy i would give it like a 20 out of 10, but the story really left me disappointed.

1) they introduce a brother towards the last five episodes and he turns evil ?
2) the female lead is too naive and gullible
3) the focus them becomes on the male lead's company and the things he is dealing with.

hyped up but a let down :( thats why i only gave an 8

Didn't know what to expect out of this drama, but after finish watching it , it definitely moved me. The beginning was a little rough, I was contemplating dropping it but pushed forward and found it to be quite interesting.

Qin Lan is definitely the star of the show! she was an mazing lead actress. She portrayed her character of the agent really really well. The drama focuses on her as the agent as how an agent is faced with many things in the entertainment industry. Having to deal with her actors/actress emotions, settling scandals /drama, getting pressured from her boss, facing competition. It all feels really real and depicts the character superb. She has so much stress that I could felt it myself.

The main lead Godfrey Gao, I pay my respect for. I still cant believe he is gone and that it was his last production. To be honest his character seemed really minor and not standing it. I think it was partly because he was not in the same profession as the female lead. The male lead is a lawyer. He is really good to support the female lead whenever the female lead is down. At some parts of the drama i was frustrated with his character because he kept being on opposite side of the female lead. Dont get me wrong, he is such nice eye candy to watch, tall and hunky and looks good in a suit.

In the summary it said she loses two artistes at the night of the award , that is false. She gradually loses them due to one wanting a better future for himself. The other because the artiste's fan really didnt like the female lead style of leading the artist. The female then finds more veteran artistes and tries to invest her time in them. The last chunk got my eyes bawling hard!! (dont want to spoil it)

Definitely a great watch!

The summary of this drama is pretty accurate. Its a time traveling drama about a daughter going back 20 years to meet her mom. The current relationship between the daughter and mom is not very good. The daughter blames the mom and ask what happen to her dad. Some how the daughter ends up time travels back to when her mom was in high school. There she meet the male lead. He goes to school with the mom and is in the same class. The daughter goes back in time to find out who her father is. As she gets to know her mom she understands her mom. They are best friends through the story.

Daughter aka female lead is a sunshine girl, real , cares about her friends
Mom aka second. female lead is a little hot head, loud, but also really nice, not too smart in school
Male lead aka daughters love interest is smart, caring and a gentlemen ,always caring for the female lead

The story focuses on friendship between the high school students/ encounters like college entrance exam, graduations etc. There is also love story that blossoms between the male and female lead. Even the second male and female character. Some heart-wrenching moments too, where i feel for the third male character

It's a good amount of romance, school and family.

The story line is nicely developed and rounds back at the end where she goes back to the current times. Its a good story of appreciating the single mom.

This drama is definitely a 10 for the sweet moments and kissing of the male and female lead lol. Their chemistry was impeccable. The kissing scenes is one of the most passionate I've seen for a while . Recommend this drama if you are a hopeless romantic and want a good romantic drama.

Female Lead is very warm and sweet and thinks quickly off her feet, She started out in a girls group , but something happened where she got let go. She starts from bottom and doesn't have any place to live so she stays at her friend's grandmother house. That is where she means the male lead. Male lead , tall, handsome, cold and extremely smart. He's in the field on lighting and tech ? something like that

Male and Female lead start off on the wrong foot but slowly falls in love. He falls for her warm and bubble personally and she falls for how he always can help and support her. The male lead did something to the female lead by accident and that ruined her becoming an idol career. He feels guilty and tries to help her out. The male lead is also a cold person in the sense he speaks with little sympathy, not too much emotion., not to mention how he gets jealous of the other guy. The male lead personality makes him head butt and clash with the female when she has faced with problems and burdens. She just want someone to side and listen to her but instead the male lead just responds in a cold way. Of course the female lead will get angry. I think because of that it adds more to the chemistry between them.

There is quite a. lot of kissing scenes in this drama ( lol good for some viewers and not good to other viewers) .I think the scriptwriter/director wanted to express her bubbly and warm / extrovert personality through the passionate kissing lol . one of the best dramas ive seen so far, love every bit.

My fave type of drama includes having character development for the second leads. They have really good chemistry too.

If you want a sweet, simple romantic drama , Intense love is the one for you.

A lightheart romantic drama about Su jin bei ( female lead ) and Zhou shi yun ( male lead) . Jin bei is an actress while Shi Yun is a doctor. Their paths have already been set since they were young. They have been engaged for marriage since they were young. They finally meet when Jin bei gets into a car accident and Dr. Zhou is her physician. They were supposedly to get engage but both did not show up. Jin bei meets Shi Yun in the hospital. Jin bei madly pursues the doctor ;)

of course at first the male lead is turn off and kinda repulse but slowly he finds himself falling for her. I like the female lead because she is pretty and innocent/sweet. She somethings acts like a baby towards the main lead to 撒嬌. Their chemistry is amazing, not to mention them having many sweet kissing scene. I would say this drama had quite a lot :)

I liked also how the side character got some plot development, like the female lead best friend/ agent got her own love story line. Even the male lead younger sister.

In any typical drama there is a evil character, those scenes are bareable and not draggy.

I totally recommend this drama !!! if you want a sweet, and pretty much drama free love story this is the one for you.

Slow burning drama /romance about writer and the publisher

I have to disgree with other reviews! This drama is definitely a slow buning drama. The plot and relationship development are so slow! The story is a little bland and lacks flavor or something to make it stick out. I mean its pass the halfway point , Im on ep 18 and they still arent together.

Female lead has always been interested in reading books, but majored in finance. After graduation she decides to follow her heart and pursue a job in the book publishing company Yun Yue . The female lead has an online friend that she talks to and that person is none the other , the male lead. The male lead is a promising author, who personality is kinda straight forward and not the easiest to work with. Male lead is about to sign with another publishing company, so the female lead does all she can to get him to stay under Yun Yue publishing house. She gets hit with a wall because the male lead doesnt care/ doesnt want to work with Yun Yue. He realized that the female lead is the online friend and his personality has a major shift. She succesfully signs him. The female lead goes through a lot of opression from her bosses/manager which was kinda annoying!

The second male lead is also an author but a dated one who is the male lead's best friend. He gets back into writing and female lead successful signs him under Yun Yue. Things happen and she has to move out of her house. She ends up moving in with the male lead. ( how i felt like her interactions with him during when they were living together didnt add any wow points or swet moments) ( weol maybe like one or two...)

All the way up to ep 19 is when there is a first drunk kiss... I give ep 1- 19 a rating of 6.5-7. Hopefully 20-36 will be better.

The content of the story is just quite boring.... I mean an author and publishing house and talking about books etc.

Also am I the only one who cant stand the female lead's high pitched voice?

This drama started off strong because it seemed cute but really how the story unraveled got me really disappointed.

Plot: Female lead is a person who is good at telling/making up stories. She has a job of telling stories about this judge and the romantic encounters. Male Lead is the a judge , think typical manner , serious, stern. The female and male lead start off at wrong foot. Male lead hires her to be his record keeping , recording the court cases and murders etc. The cases themselves i find pretty boring and not exciting as sulkytofu said.

Romance between them is kinda cute definitely some chemistry but wouldnt say it was overly a lot. I gave up and lost interest at the end because they introduce the main leads fiancee came back but turns out she bad and somehow she is connected to this gold case they are trying to solve. The side characters are kind of random and show up randomly or towards the end. It just didnt connect.

If you want to watch for the romance I recommend , but for the story I would pass or watch it if you are bored.

DONT BELIEVE THE OTHER REVIEWS...

man another flop drop from male lead... I thought Zhang ruo nan ( female lead actress0 could save it but no!
IT starts off with the troupe of a CEO boss ( male lead), and the female lead is a noob in her career as a lawyer.

The female lead is not really ft for being a lawyer, she is way to emotional. Her characters is not dumb, she is hardworking and remembers what her boss said. Honestly her personality doesnt really shine in this one.

Male lead is stone cold, smart. He is really dumb in admiting his feelings to the female lead.

36 episodes and more than half way for them to confess their feelings. I didnt feel any chemistry between the leads.

I thought it would be good because the female lead could help cure the male lead's insomnia but that part sizzle out before any romance. The female lead keep denying/ saying she has no feelings for her boss because thats her boss why would the boss like her...

Time watch? no relation to the actually drama...

To be honest I am glad that this drama is only 12 episodes long! what sounded as promising just ends up being very weird.
First of all the female lead is the only one who can see the watch counting down. But honestly you cant even tell its counting down. it just looks like a regular watch.

The leads lack chemistry and passion. They only get together at the 11th ep, bear in mind there is only 12. The second pairing got together so quick and even had their kiss before the leads, which is a no no. It steals the light away from the leads.

The storyline really didnt work because no one can see the watch and she didnt really bother to explain why. She just wanted the male lead to sign the contract. They make the female lead seem so regulated and orderly but she is still a push over. She cant stand up to tell the third male lead that she doesnt like him and that the male lead is not just her assistant... what happen to the overbearing CEO figure she is suppose to have

I'm sorry, my first initial response to seeing the male lead, was he is ugly! dont hate me! Also he seems to soft and squishy lol the female lead has the say over everything

I much prefer the second pairing as the male lead and female lead instead. of the actual leads...

Tried but wasnt successful

a rollercoaster of events and too much unfolding...

IM SURPRISED THAT PEOPLE REALLY LIKED, I have a different opinion...
1) I was super excited to see both the female and male lead( as I like them both) but this pairing just doesnt work.
2) IF YOU ARE HERE FOR ROMANCE, YOU CAN SKIP THIS DRAMA! LITTLE TO NO ROMANCE AT ALL, not to mention that they leads have no chemistry what soever. Female lead is pretty and male lead is someone handsome but together, it doesnt work.
3) The setting and plot had a lot of potential but fell really short
4) the development of this story stop making much sense and just unraveled one thing after another.

Backstory: There are two types of group the people group and the one with some of power. The two group fight against each other. The male lead Lu Yan is human general and gets injured. Female lead is the goddess of the Ling( the ones with power. She ends up saving the male lead by taking her own ling power and giving it to male lead. THe female lead turned into a feather and the general is there to make sure the feather getse enough ling power for the female lead to come back out.

Fast forward.... Yu deng deng ( female lead now) is a bandit and awakens the general. Basically they try to get the ling power out of her. He marries her and encounters various things. Like the evil Ling general , who wants to kill the general to get the Ling power for himself.

Its a roller coaster of it being interesting and then boring... to finally stop watching it.. first it was the evil ling general, now somehow her evil sister/ inner self comes out... wtf... like can the story get any worst...

Insomniac princess who has a complicated background

I was freaking excited seeing the preview trailer, I waited so long for almost all eps to broadcast before i strated watching. To be quite honest the story line is a let down. I was mainly excited because there were a lot of cute scenes in this preview.

Characters-
Female lead- cute, quirky princess who can't sleep at night . When she was young, a rock that can tell the future went into her body. Thus making it hard for her to fall asleep at night, if she does fall asleep she'll either have dreams about the future, or she'll turn into an animal of the zodiac ( which for me was kinda weird)
Male lead is a guard in the palace . He is trying to find out happened to his elder brother who died in the palace. He doesn't trust the princess and her motives.
Second female lead - aka little b*tch , she likes the male lead and does things to get him to like her. initially she was trying to break up the male and female lead... but then afterwards she began friends with the princess. however the second female lead does something in the story that doesnt really make sense.. Which causes a rift in the female and male lead's relationship. ( that was when they were pretty much friends already...)
Princess' brother ( no blood relation) - He is very protective of his sister. Secretly he's in love with her. He's not a strongly developed character.
Third female - aka biggest b*tch... she comes in towards the later parts, and her story honestly is super annoying. Basically she is the slave of the male lead because he conquered her land. Turns out she is the princess in her land. She likes him and wants to marry male lead.

Storyline- To me the first 10 episodes i would summarize as getting married, the female lead trying to escape/ get a divorce, they argue, male lead is suspicious of her.The first 10 episodes was hard to get through... 11- 20ish episodes had more of the sweet and romantic development. I enjoyed that part of the drama.
Summary in shirt : She gets married, tries to get divorce papers/escapes, but always is forced to come back , finds out he's her insomnia medicine, fall in love, gets divorce , misunderstanding, wants to be together, evil female involvement, ... The storyline is not smooth and female lead has such a busy background/identity. It would of been so much better if the focus was on male lead being her insomnia medicine and her dreams help see into the future?

Romance; I love their chemistry and romance!!! Princess is shy to show her emotions and feelings nor is the male lead. I love them together and the time they spend together, love their kissing scenes. I just wish their relationship wasnt so bumpy like being together, getting apart, being together, getting apart....

only two more episodes left, so we'll see how it is.

Female lead studies fashion design others are jealous of her

With this drama being 45 episodes long I anticipated skipping many parts, which I did.Your average fashion genre drama. I really liked the female lead's bold, sunny and willing to stand up for herself personality. Also the relationship between the female lead and male lead absolutely stunning! ( first of all the Xu lu is so pretty) So much passionate and chemistry, totally here for the romance/relationship and would skip the rest of the dramatic people and annoying characters.

First part of the drama is when they first get to know each other and fall in love. This drama they didnt start out bickering but the male lead falling in love with female lead! but female lead then was going to Paris to study fashion design. A good chunk of the story revolves around Paris. I like the female lead's story in her process to become a fashion designer trying to help out her boyfriend aka male lead who owns a fashion company.

The cons about this drama is that it has too many unnecessary people love triangles and people that hate the female lead.
Annoying character #1
male lead's right hand partner which is a lady ( not sure to consider her the 2nd lead) SHe's like his childhood friend who works with him. She gets jealous of female lead)
more Annoying character#2 ( second male lead) He was always trying to bother the female lead and try to do stuff to show he's better than the male lead. lol he's a fly thats in her way.
Side character aka classmates of the female lead
1) classmate, always have been jealous of her. She is a model and always been a bad relationship
2) fashion classmate who was jealous of the female lead's talent. Use to be friends until the betrayal that sent female lead's design to the competing company.

Something positive! loved loved loved the female and male lead's relationship. There kisses seem very real and passionate. Like they are head over heels for each other, so sweet and super cute! loved it, if someone could just cut those scenes out and out it together that would be perfect!

Lacking in storyline and sweetness

For a drama than seems like a lot of potential, this failed. It's a rather dull watch, like nothing really stood out.

Male lead sometimes will experience times where he cannot speak. He finds out the only way for him to talk is eat the homemade ice cream of the female lead. However they start off on a wrong foot. She thinks he is a creeper/ pervert, but in reality he is just someone who flies drones and does studies/ test. The fact that he cant speaks doesnt help. Finally he discovers the ice cream and he somehow now can talk. Coincidentally they even become neighbors. Male lead invites her over to teach male lead how to make ice cream. He soon realizes that it doesnt work. He finally realizes that is has to be from the female lead. So she makes ice cream for him everyday.

The drama is only 22 episodes long! Didn't feel like there was much story development not to mention relationship development I like male lead ( the actor) but i felt they didnt even have an ounce of chemistry. The way that the leads interacted, i felt no chemistry so I wasnt as moved by the sudden kisses. Like the male lead randomly kisses her in occasions that make the female lead skip a heart beat.. but not me lol. Then after that their relationship becomes ambiguous, its not really clear whether they are together or now. Lol call me old school but there always need to be the part of confessing the love!!!!

This drama in between dramas to watch . To be nothing to special or eye catching, a little disappointing.
