The Yin to his Yang. Cute love story of smart professor and naive student!
To be quite honest, did not have high expectations for this drama!To me the first couple episodes were kinda of bland and started off at a 7/10. Slowly it reacted a 9.5/10 for me !Overall- this drama was really nice to watch because its a sweet and light hearted romance. There isn't the focus of an evil second leads, or a heavy focus of work situations. The drama revolved around their relationship , with a little emphsize with work.
Background/storyline-
The male lead's grandpa has cancer, and has one more year to live. Male lead is literally like statistics/a computer , he computes a lot of data and analyzes a lot. He is super smart and very logical, his eq isnt very high., lol he is quite a wooden block when it comes to romance.
The female lead of the other hand is the contrast to the male lead. She is cheerful, warm, gullible, naive and doesn't have too many strict requirements to live by. Male lead turns out is the female leads professor. He is also the reason why she couldn't graduate from university in time. He goes into a contracted marriage with her because oh his grandpa's health. lol another contracted marriage.... but this was was quite good
Romance- oh my gosh , it was cute! it was first she liked him and while the male lead's feelings for her wasnt too developed yet. Latter on, it showed his feelings for her. Finally when they got together, there was litterally an explosion of sweetness and kissing ! omg . Like every epsiode after had a super sweet kissing scene. They are so cute together and have great chemistry. Male lead is super dorky and cute. Female lead has a really pure, and good girl look. I cannot stress how sweet those scenes were! DEFINITELY WORTH THE WATCH might be dangerous for the singles out there lol. This drama the romance was defienitely the focus.
This actress is the first one i've seen with teeth that isnt straight. She kinda has slight chipmunk teeth, her front two teeth sticking out, but she cute haha.

Dang !! this was good . I didn't expect it too be that good. I very seldom watch this type of drama. Im more of the romance/school type but this one I really liked. There is some romance but that isn't the focus. Its hard to say what genre this drama falls under , its a mixed between some martial arts/ actions/heist/. Story: The story is really intriguing! There is a set of 7 people who have different martial arts background ( one is swift with a knife, one is good are using wiring and rope/ fast hands , one knows a lot of information,/historian , one is smart with technology/ inventions and has a good memory, one is the social person/ skilled in making powders that can hurt people, another who is good in martial arts and another which i forgot.
The seven have to protect the one ( which is their head) who hold the scrolls. Putting the scrolls together can find treasure.
It starts off as the male lead coming back from college and he some hows becomes the leader of the scrolls. Along the way he meets the different people with different abilities that wants to protect the scroll and him. The female lead is one of the protects , she mistake him as her senior( her "brother") . I like the female lead because she is cute, cheerful and good at martial arts. Many people also want to get their hands on the scroll. The main evil dude is a general.
The story played out really nicely. My favorite parts are when they come up with a plan/heist to save. Each person does their part. When they are about to be in danger , another member from their team saves them. In the story they are traveling and along the way encounter the bad guy. They travel to each of the 7 member's house/ where they are from
The rewatch value isnt as high because there some surprises at the end that once you watch you already know, but actually might rewatch for the action apart.
totally would recommend this drama :D plus oho ( the male lead is pretty cute), and the female lead is really pretty

Short and sweet love story
This is a mini drama. The female lead is a female lead inside an manga novel. She needs to get out of the novel to try to find the author to continue the story. She gets out and meets the male lead. The male lead is a science major and not very sociable. The female lead is a mary sue character (which is dumb and naive but cute) . At first the male lead is just interested in studying her, but then decides to help her get back to the novel. Along the way even the suppose male lead from the manga pops out. He is very chauvinistic and think he owns everything . ( at the same time his character is funny)It's a cute watch without nothing too dramatic or draggy. The story is interesting and funny. The leads have a cute relationship! but wish they had kissing scene. They had a peck on the head.

A drunken kiss that sealed my heart
To be fair , it didnt wow me , but it's a decent watch ! It's only a 16 episode drama, so something felt rushed.FL decides to confess to her class monitor that she has a crush on him but she was drunk when that happened so it turned out to be the ML , and she ends up kissing him. one year later , they meet again however female lead has no recollection of male lead. FL is a food blogger who likes desserts. ML Is a dessert chef. FL wants to learn more about the chef's desserts.
Romance ( ML +FL ) some chemistry but not passionate enough, to be honest the 2ML, 2FL had more passion and stole more of the moments/limelight . the ML+FL is more cute, sweet, simple, while 2ML + 2FML relationship was more lust and passion driven. I think because of the 16 ep, there was not enough momentum to build up their relationship.
What i liked-
Desserts- looked super yummy and i like that fact that each dessert told a story of what is happening with the leads at the moment.
The kid - he is a cute factor and liked that he try to step the aunt aka FL AND godfather aka ML together. They are cute as a little family but the time together was too little and he eventually got sent away and came back for the last ep...
Things to note about this drama that is not obvious
1) The male lead has/ has had depression... but its not very obvious ( unless i missed something) They revealed it more towards the middle/end . The male lead doesnt tell the female lead. The male lead gets triggered when he hears the word " lei zui" meaning burden.. For all the times that was happening.. i was expecting the female lead to discover him and comfort him but that doesnt happen...
What i didnt like
Livestreamer bullying : towards the end there is someone who tries to sabotage and ruin the reputation of the ML dessert store. Rude livestreamers try to see for themselves and not even care about what the owners and employees have to day, despite rejecting them saying they cant come in. ( felt like i would of given the drama a higher score if not for that last random incident)

Got lost watching the whole drama
How do i even summarize this drama? A mess and a lot of plot loops ?1st) usually long dramas will drag, and this one did. I enjoyed a good half of it and then started to get confuse and lose interest towards the middle .
2nd) wanted to watched mostly because the main leads were Sheng Yi lun and Wang zhi wen .
Storyline ( let me try my best to summary)
There was an evil sword that no one who control, so Feng gave up her life to put a seal/lock the sword. This causes her husband to go to the dark side, thus creating the evil dude group aka An Ye You Ting. There is also a earthly king and his people, as well as this sect called Jiu Hua. The male lead goes to like a deity school and gets into the sect of Jiu hua, which there is a prince. The female lead is also in the sect. She is the daughter of the Mo family who is respected by the earthly king. The Mo family turns out not to be the family of the female lead, but the female lead is actually the daughter of feng and the evil dude. Meanwhile , another powerful family is the Ye family. One of the main protagonist his the elder Ye son., Ye wu Que. He's obonxious, arrogant and evil. He joins hands with An Ye You ting to try to kill the male lead. I forgot to mention that the male lead once did have any wuxia ability, but somehow got this stone and his powers increased a lot. After that, a whole bunch of stuff happens, lol by the end I'm kinda lost.
Romance- hardly anything between the female and male lead, mostly hugging. Finally the kiss at the very end, lol ep 52!!! Even the second male lead the prince, got a kiss from his loved one...
The last 15 episodes just confused me, it was like two stories were happening because the male and female lead were both separated and faced their own things, and towards the end they just merged the two story into one, and called it an ending.

Super sweet love story of female author/novelist meets ceo
For the most part a really good watch! I recommend this drama for the super cute romantic scenes.The storyline starts when they are in middle school / high school ? Female lead was once this chubby girl, and the male lead was her only friend. Young male lead often was mean to her because he liked her. They end up losing contact for over ten years. They are reunited once again because the female lead's dad owns a lingerie shop/business that he wants the daughter to take on. She has no interested , her only interested is becoming a novelist. The one condition is that she has to find someone to marry with 72 hrs, and of course thats where the male lead comes in.
To be honest kind of cliche, i mean this genre type is going to be cliche. Rich ceo , struggling author fall into a contracted love.
Romance: To me their romantic scenes is the cutest that I have watch in a while! like they just are so cute together and their chemistry which also includes their kisses are phenomenal and filled with passion. Their story is cute because it starts off when they are young. They do have so riffs in their relationship but they end up fixing it. A big chunk if this drama is their relationship.
The other parts of the story is how the female lead becomes an author/ screen writer/ novelist.
Another small focus was about the male lead's past and how the female lead help overcome his fear.
However the last four episodes got a little draggy. It said i 24 episode but mydramalist said its 29 ep ???
It got draggy because of the third male and second female lead trying to sabotage the female and male's relationship. The story at that point seem to repeat itself , because prior to that the female and male lead already had some miscommunications., towards the end it blew up.... And the beginning of episode 24 didnt really make any sense....
Despite that , i really enjoyed their romance/relationship ! too cute to pass up.

Sweet romance met with dark background/past
Good thing this drama is 25 episodes, any longer and it would of gotten draggy. Overall this is a good watch but it wasnt my most favorite. The song intro portrayed a lot of cute and sweet scenes.( which there were), but it isnt your average cute love story. I would say the backstory is some what dark. I mean the female lead had a trauma past incident , when she gets scared she goes into sleepwalking phase where she basically is not conscious. Her only medicine is the main male lead.Male lead is a ceo of a film company. Female lead is an voice actress. Through an incident she believes that the person who can help cure her is the second male lead , aka male lead's brother. Second male lead is a famous idol, that's how she gets to know the male lead. The mom tricks the female lead to become the maid for male lead, but she though it was for the idol ( which he could help her if she gets scared.) the cure is for them to hug or kiss lol . Male lead ceo is step up rules in his house and if you break them, you have to pay a fine. Thus beginning their bickering and eventually developing into love :)
Romance- First of all the female and male are so cute together. They have really cute and sweet scenes. They have a good chemistry with each other. Their kisses are also believable and passionate. They also are shy to show that they are in love . The second male lead also ends up liking the female lead ( no big surprise)
To me the development of the relationship between the male and female lead was kinda slow, i think like 14 episodes in/after that they are actually together. Also the latter half focused on her getting her memory back about what happen to her and the kidnapping when she was young. The kidnapping part of the story is where i minus some points. Some parts didnt really make sense... like they were like young when it happened but the story portrays it like its couple years ago that happen. Maybe for the flashbacks they didnt do it obvious enough... im like what? In the process of her finding our what happen during the kidnapping is when it turns a little more dramatic. its no longer the cute love story... so just be aware.
One annoying character I could not stand, was how that character knew that when the female lead sees something scary it triggers her sleepwalking and annoying evil side character did that like many times... to mess with her and mess her voice acting screen ....
I would say romance is half of the story and the other half is finding out what happened in the past.

This show really started with potential but shot in all kinds of direction. To give you a background the male lead is a street lawyer the female lead is a fashion designer. Throughout the story there are three storylines running in the story. You can skip this drama if you think there will be romance. There is romance but hardly between the female and male lead.
1) first story line revolves around Sheng Xia ( female lead) she has her own fashion boutique in NYC. She is working hard to try to achieve her dream as being a more well known fashion designer. Through her journey she has mostly bumps which require the male lead for help in court cases.
2) second story line revolves around the male lead trying to become a laywer ( he's currently just a street lawyer). At the same time he is trying to re- investigate/find evidence for a case that has caused his defendant to get murdered.
3) The third story line revolves around Sheng Xia ( female lead's) childhood friend. She is also into design ,but back in Beijing. Basically it talks about how she went from selling clothes on the streets to getting hired and working as a designer. ( i totally just skipped that storyline)
4) technically there is four storyline. This is the female lead's boyfriend and the female lead best friend. They end up falling for each other. To keep it short the boyfriend never respected Sheng Xia's dream and only wanted to make Sheng xia his wife. Sheng xia felt really insecure about him and didnt like that he kept pressuring her to get married. The second female lead ( her best friend) works with her at her boutique. He sees how caring the bf is to Sheng xia. The second female lead take cares of the bf when he is not feeling well .... so you know what happens...
What was kind of annoying was how they showed three storyline at once....
They tried to pack too many things into one... I definitely would not rewatch.

TWISTED PRINCE TRYING TO USE THE FEMALE LEAD..
THIS DRAMA HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL AND FELL SHORT SO BADLY! Romance I give it a 10/10 , but the storyline and development is like a 5/10. The first half is pretty good but then it starts too get repetitive and the last few episodes got me super confused and puzzles. They try to fit too much stuff into the last three ep, not sure if it was an editing mistake but I couldnt follow with the flow of the drama.Female lead is the evil prince's subordinate and does things for him. The male lead is the subordinate of the King and his parents were frame for something they didnt do resulting in them being killed. The evil prince hates the male lead and wants to do everything in this power to weaken his forces and at the same time try to prove himself to his emperor daddy.
The evil prince is just to0 abusive and let him have too much of the limelight, to a point where it didnt really make sense.
The female has this sickness that only the evil prince can provide the medicine for.
To be honest only watched it for the steamy kissing scenes but beside those this drama is skip worthy, really thought it was going to be good... so sad it turned out like this.

To be honest had higher expectation and currently its not meeting it! Finally like at episode 18 he confesses his love!!! It was driving me nuts that the first 15 episodes, was contemplating on dropping. I mean its only 24 episodes.... Male lead is cute but i find he is kinda slow to relationship and doesnt like to show that he likes the female lead. I mean you can just straight tell her. Female lead , is also very slow to relationships , and to be honesty nothing of her personality really stands out besides the fact that she is super strong and was once a tomboy. Thus causing the male lead to think that the person he had a crush on when he was young was a boy but it was the female lead with short hair. I kinda of find it hard to believe that if that was your crush you dont find out their name and if they are actually a boy or girl? Fast forward They meet again in University , and finally through various occasion he finds out that , she's a girl. She also has liked him for a long time. They just never had the guts to tell each other. The first 16 episodes I would summarize as "I like you but Im not brave enough to tell you face to face, not sure if you like me, miscommunications....
Others:
Second male lead is hot!!! but a playboy character. His character hopefully will change due to the female lead's best friend ( aka second female lead(
THird female is second male lead's cousin and she is a stuck up bitch, who has two faces to her. She's in love with the male lead because they grew up together. They both play piano together. she's initially a bitch but changes for the better.
Fingers crossed it will get better fast !!!!

female lead soul gets into a famous actress
Seriously these mini drama thinks we are idiots lol, like how all of a sudden can a person soul go to someone else... but besides that point the drama was pretty good .Female lead originally was a news reporter, she gets hit by a car and wakes up as a upcoming star's body. The male lead is a young actor. The male lead and the the famous star( the female) are in a contracted marriage. They dont want anyone to know that they are living together. The male lead starts noticing how she is becoming different. He uses the excuse of acting on set and keeps on kissing the female lead ( because now after the female lead's soul came into the celebrity) he starts getting that feeling of a pounding heartbeat.
They have pretty good kissing scenes that are cute and sweet. which is surprising for a mini drama. however the ending got me pissed off... SO i hope there is a season 2. They cant just leave us hanging like that. No bueno!

狗血!! Revenge! scheming drama
I can't believe i finished watching is. The chinese website i watched it on said 38 episodes but other places said 40 episodes is the end?Ya'll after watching this drama you need to breathe!!! OMG SO FREAKIN FRUSTRATING!!!WANT TO SCREAM and hit THE Beeps.... in the drama!It felt like i watched like 60 episodes. so much hatred. revenge, evil, scheming, bullying . take advantage of. This is one negative drama, its like torture on the female lead.
Like where do i begin?
Female lead is a super sweet, but takes everything in kinda girl, she is appreciative for the Li's corporation CEO for helping her get through school and into the fashion industry. She is also know as the shadow designer. Li's CEO has a daughter who basically grew up with the female lead. She is also known as a deisgner, but its just all her name. She cant design and has never designed, only using the female lead's design. Other people in the company dont know and think she is just a cleaning lady ( super sad right?)
Male lead is the son of the Chao fashion corp. Chao and Li are competitors.
The back story of why they are competitors... While Li was young, she knew Chao's wife. Chao's wife was in charge of a warehouse that caused fire and killed people and losing the clothes they made. Long story short, turns out it was Li who was behind it, causing Chao's wife to commit suicide because she couldnt pay back the workers. At that time the Chao's had a baby boy. Chao ended up losing contact with the family that took care of his son. Chao swore to take revenge for his dead wife and his lost son.
Fast Forward... So the male lead is the adoptive son of the Chao's and Chao made the male lead to thinking it was the Li's who was responsible for the death of this parents and also his missing sister too . Turns out it was Chao who locked his sister up and was trying to use the male lead to help him knock down the Li's.
I feel so bad for the female lead, she literally had to go through so much shit!!! Like first, thinking the Li's is a benefactor but it was just that so they could use the female lead's designer and let the Li daughter call it her own. I didnt understand why the daughter is not named after her. lol her daughter is named Tang Guo er.
2) the person she loved had to marriage her best friend.... and she just let it go like that.
3) Losing her child and her mother's also suicide. so much hurt is done to her..if i were her i would go crazy already... ( which later towards the end she was hospitalized for..
4) having her designed copied by another person ( who was someone she trusted that betrayed her)
Her daughter is such a despicable character, so rude, selfish, arrogant, spoiled full of her self !!! Literally wanna say all the swear words at her . She is a true bitch !!! Like she and the female lead were suppose to be best of friends.
In dramas I always love the male lead but this drama I hated him ! He went for his own interest in the sense that he just followed the orders of his adoptive dad. He loved the female lead but it was so limited. Like which side are you on? He even sided with the evil best friend, when he found out that the Li's was not the culprit behind his parents suicide. He was never really there for her and didnt support her enough...
Sorry this is more of a rant than a review haha!
watch at your own risk if you like revenge, scheme, bullying, torment ....

two sisters, fall in love with different men and their court story
This drama was better than i anticipated, normally 40 episode ancient drama can be a drag. This one was not too bad!Characters-
Female lead - is the older sister of the Fu family. She has the the wits and the beauty. She is calm and collected.
Male lead- is the prince, who eventually becomes the King. He is smart, handsome and persistent in loving.
Second female lead - is the younger sister in the Fu family. She is the opposite of her older sister. She is feisty, impulsive, hot head and knows martial arts.
Second male- is a good friend of the prince. He's noble, smart, observative, and loyal.
Storyline-
The storyline flowed pretty well for the most part. It starts off with a prophecy from the local people that one of the Fu's daughter will be a queen . Thus making the emperor, cautious. He tells him adopted son, which is the male lead to take one of the Fu's daughter to another state to get married. This was just a fake mission, so they could assassinate the other state's king, and at the same time get rid of the elder Fu daughter. With her wits, she convinces the prince to not kill her. She is saved and slowly began to develop feelings for each other. The younger Fu sister starts liking the general ( aka second lead) .During all this time there is a conniving aunt of the king who doesnt like the fact, that the king likes the adopted prince so much. She believes her son , should be king and plan against the prince. Stuff happens and the prince ends up marrying the second sister. The story then focuses on how the prince eventually becomes prince. How the second sister faked her death to get out of the marriage with the prince who turned king. I wasnt as fond of the last part because it got more political >_<
Points I liked
1) Although the second sister at times can be annoying and naive, but she still cared about her sister and her family. I liked the sister relationship. I hate dramas when its sister turn against sister.
2) I liked the overall friendship and trusted of the two male leads despite still having some problems.
3) I liked the Fu's father. He was a noble and righteous official
4) of course I loved the elder sisters wits
5) love how the king devoted his love for the older sister, he never changed.
Things I didnt like
- the sister of the prince turned king who turned evil, and tried to kill the queen
- the concubine/empress who tried to help poison the queen. I dont even get her storyline, or like where she came from?
- I HATED THE EVIL OFFICIAL aka the king's cousin. He was just as evil like his mother.
Romance- Between the second lead pairing, i would say there is more development/screen time of them shown developing their relationship more than the elder sister and king. Both pairs are cute :) The drama has a good amount of romance. The king's and the older sister was more sad and slower/slightly tragic.
That reminds me.... wth is the ending? I thought she got healed from the poison ? so did she die , or did she leave? too open ended lol

mini drama thats a cute love story but... the leads are like playing phone tag!!
This is a mini drama, about 9 mins for each ep with a total of 15 episode!Didn't really have any expectation coming in. This drama was very cute and sweet but at the same time the leads kept playing phone tag lol missing each other. Why cant you just tell him or her that you like them?
The story definitely had many cute and sweet moments, but the storyline was not developed well. Up until the last episode is when the male lead finally ask female lead to be his girlfriend. Ummm... a little slow. They had too many misunderstanding between each other. The male lead had a crush on the female lead from high school , and vice versa with female lead. Female lead is not very confident about herself. She is cute, naive, dumb and has many scenes where she is talking to herself. ( its actually quite cute,) She has dialogue with her inner self. She tries to pursue the male lead, but the male lead is something hot and sometimes cold to her. Thus making her confuse if the male lead likes her or not. The male lead likes her but doesnt say it to her, he does other things but the female lead doesnt quite get it... This is the phone tag part... argh kinda frustrating at points because they would have a cute moment, then have a cold moment and put that on repeat lol
I like the pairing! The female lead does a good job to portray her innocent and naive/dumb character. I felt my tingle in my heart when the male lead gets jealous. They make a cute couple, with believable chemistry! not too many kisses, i think it was 2 ?
I probably wouldnt want to watch the draggy plot if this were a regular 45mins drama, but as a mini drama i can accept it! its not bad!
