From princess to peasant, from playboy to CEO..

This drama has its up and down, however it got kinda boring around ep 19...

Female lead Zhen gao gui is a rich princess. She finds out that her mom has gone backrupt so she needs to find a job. She gets a job at a pr company/ marketing , doing advertisements. Male lead is forced to be CEO to take care of his brother's popcorn business. The two leads have meet prior and they become business partner. They work together to make the popcorn more popular and to sell it better.

I like the personality of the female lead. She is quirky, smart and brave. The male lead is a little more reserved but down to earth.

I didnt really like how their romance was such a slow burn... Its like... if you like her then be more bold to confess. Their relationship is too draggy. I havent gotten to their romance and I had to drop it already. I mean the drama only has 24 episode and on 19 ep still no romance..

Also they revealed some unnecessary info about the past of the male lead, which resulted in the female lead losing her dad at a young age... So he feels guilty about that... and decides to hide his feelings even longer.

I like how they work together to overcome the obstacles in their job but still even some parts where kinda slow and stagnate. Like the side character who tried to sabotage the male lead popcorn company, time and time again and the evil dude doesnt get any punishment for it.

I like the lead actress but this drama was not a good one..

when a bad character ruins it all

To be honest I had high expectations for this drama! started out strong and then went flat really fast. I like the parts of the fighting but not the politics and all the scheming.

Male lead is the third son, not highly looked at due to his mother being a lowly servant. He is a general and has his own clan/army. He fights and try to establish/regain cities. He meets the female lead who is a bad ass assistant general to the Cui Army. She has the wits and the brain, her character definitely carried throughout the drama.

Its your typical drama about fighting and re-conquering the cities so that they are under control. There is also annoying royal palace schemes, like the brothers hating the male lead and trying to fight for the throne. Of course the king is stupid and useless, his character is a waste of time lol

One of the most annoying characters came from the Cui army. He was the god son, which the outside world knew as the Cui's son. The Cui army is very strong, they didnt want others to find out that they actually had a daughter so they used the godson to fake the Cui's having a son. The female lead is the daughter. But basically the fake son is obsess with the female lead and wants to marry her at all cost, even if it means to betray the Cui's. His part took so much time and so not needed.

Romance... what do i say... The leads dont have any chemistry. Sure they might be cute together but their kissing scenes lack a little chemistry. They actually have quite a few kissing scenes but not which gave me the tingle in my heart. Its mostly the female lead initiating the kiss lol

I felt like they could of stuck it at 30 episodes and it would of been decent... I prefer the drama with bailu, Kunning palace a lot better.

Lies get you different boyfriend?

To be honest I like the female lead but this drama was such a major flop! The concept of this drama was kinds cute.. until the boyfriend turned full on psycho and abusive.. hell no.

The female lead is a designer at a jewelry company, she is often looked down on and bullied by her co worker. She gets invited to a co worker bday party just to announce, that the annoying co worker has become the official designer instead of the female lead. She lies about being unwell and said her boyfriend is here to pick her up.
( backstory) - she gets a random bracelet from this homeless looking dude.. and basically her lies will come true...

So she lied about her boyfriend and he came to be. Once she used one lie, her bracelet's bead turns black, She has to make the male lead fall in love with her before she uses all her beads of lies.

Whats annoying is she wishes for different types of boyfriends but its not very obvious she wishes for them ( many i missed those parts because i skipped parts of the drama)

Im just like what the heck how can she likes these dudes.... first personality is the overbearing ceo, doesnt want her to do anything but be with him. Second is the milk dog, very sweet but too immature and clingy, third one is the absolute worse, he is a compulsive psycho , who's good at being romance but super controlling and becomes abusive...
Then all of a sudden the next bf personality forgets her...

This mini drama is trying to do too much.. A no for me. They barely have any chemistry because its a constant change or bf personality. Like the male lead has a good figure..... such a waste.

Troupe storyline with annoying side character...

First of all this is your troupe storyline where the male lead's ex gf died of heart failure. I honestly thought it was going to take the male lead a long time to love again. I'm glad it want too long , it was about ep 6 , where he realized he likes the female lead. The female lead is oozing with beautiful, gorgeousness, she literally is oozing with confidence and sexiness. All of the clothes she wears suits her so well and they make her stand out. I like the female lead because she is smart, tough and brave.

I really disliked the evil sister, annoying ex boyfriend, and betraying staff. Their actions made my blood boil and my heart racing lol. If they didnt have those scenes , this drama would off been a 8.

I like the occupation of the female lead and how she helps people to design houses. The male lead character to be honest is a little weak .. He couldnt even say what his feelings where to the female lead. His parts of the drama was actually quite boring. All of the obstacles and struggles fell to the female lead.

Also not enough romance. I feel like the leads have decent chemistry but not too many kissing scenes.

While others don't like the side character romance, i quite enjoy their storyline.

Cheating scumdog!

Lol i think i am getting more mature... usually im not to into this type of drama haha. This one was enjoyable because of how strong the female lead was. However I didnt really like that her cheating husband got off so easily.

Female lead finds out that her husband is having an affair with someone at work. She was once really smart, capable but sacrificed it all to be a full time stay at home mom. This drama is about how she meets with the second female lead aka the mistress in trying to link hands in getting more evidence for the divorce, while all at the same time trying to strengthen herself.

I didnt really like the drama because it gave way too much limelight to the evil male lead. He basically lead the drama and was so selfish , evil and sinful. I wanted to punch him so many times through the screen. He barely got any punishment and mostly everything went this way..

Dumb bitch award goes to the second mistress aka 3rd female lead , like literally she hella stupid in thinking the male lead loves her. She was head over heels for him but all he wanted was the money and sex..

Worst in law award goes to the male lead parents. Seriously what kind of parent, thats what kind of son.... They are so horrible to the female lead . They do things to the female lead daughter and say horrible words.

The mistress aka 2nd female lead redeems herself because she finally sees the true side of the male lead. She herself has her own sufferings/struggles. She evenly becomes really good friends with the female lead. I really liked their friendship, when each other has diffculties they got each other's back.

I didnt care for the romance between the female lead and huang xiao ming... no offense

Boring storyline

Even the leads cant save this one for me! This drama is extremely boring.. I dont know how people can get though this drama. The storyline doesnt have anything that makes it stand out/ interesting. The second leads get a kiss and more before the main leads even get together... like who is suppose to be the main lead..... I was waiting on the leads romance but its taking forever and a day for them to be together. What happen to Xu lu ? this is the second drama of her recently that I dropped...

I really wanted to like this drama but i cant stand it lol. Watch at your own risk.

A hot mess of finding my dragon body parts!

DON'T TRUST THE OTHER PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY THIS IS THE BEST DRAMA OF 2023. THIS DRAMA IS FAR FROM IT... Had high expectations due to reading the reviews from others. This drama started good but lost me during half of it.

Like the storyline was for the male lead to find his missing body parts that the cruel ex lover scattered all over the world. The female lead got the protection scale which became her heart. She and male lead are destiny to be together. They go on a journey to find the remain parts of the male lead dragon body.

If they just focused on that part it might of been interesting , but adding too much on the sidelines really confused me. Like the male lead took his revenge pretty early on in the drama. i watched to 29 ep and still they only have found his leg, and his teeth aka sword? too slow...

Plus the leads get together really late. The male lead is just too afraid of getting hurt again... Poor female lead.

The female lead is pretty hilarious in the fact that she is really bold and not afraid of others.She stands up for the truth and for people/demons who are weaker than her. She also loves punching people.

I will be your light!

This drama is seriously so good! It deserves a ten! Can we start off with the ending song, which was sung by Angela Hui. This song is so touching and beautifully sang and fit in really well with the touching parts of this drama.

I initially was going to skip this drama, not the biggest fan of William Chan, but decided to give it a chance anyways! This drama is such a gem.

All of the characters are like-able and the firefighting scenes are done superbly, making you feel all the emotions, nervous , anticipation, excitement.

Female lead is a reporter/dog trainer - I loved the female lead. She is a bad ass, dont give a shit about the consequences , I'm going to report the truth no matter what kind of girl. I loved her persistent attitude to pursue the male lead. Their encounters are cute

Male lead is a lead firefighter. I love that he is so passionate about his job, so serious, yet facing the female lead he becomes nervous and cute. He really is a good leader and great firefighter!

The firemen on the team is loveable too. I can feel the closeness of the brothers.

The second male and female lead had a good storyline and also glad that the third couple was together.

Those firefighting scenes were crazy! It really takes you inside and shows what they are facing while fighting fires. All of the firefighting scenes were top notched, you could feel the intensity.

I also like the storyline, not just romance not just firefighter, but also about support and dealing with people passing and their mental health. The female lead overcame obstacles in her path and also the male lead too! as well as others in the drama.

However there was some parts that i could predict... like towards the end that incident ( wont spoil what happen)

Their chemistry was definitely there but their kisses still was a little lacking. A lot of it was a peck on the lips nothing to intense.

A hot mess... of identity fraud

This drama is awful and weird.
Starts off with the male lead getting hurt and the female lead saves him. They kiss and the male lead leaves her a jade pendant. Female lead's best friend aka second female lead, somehow obtains the jade pendant and she gets mistaken as the female lead. The second female lead then finds someone to help her change her face to look exactly like the female lead. The female lead finds herself in all kinds of trouble. She has a dad who is addicted to gambling. She tried to make more money , but that was a scam job., she got trafficked. The male lead saved her, but she was blindfolded at the time so she didnt know who saved her.
We have our second male lead aka younger brother of male lead.He is just always angry and bitter and wanting to kill his older brother. The second male lead tricks the female lead into thinking it was him who saved her, so in order to " pay him back" the female lead works at a fabric dying store.

WHATS ANNOYING!.... the second female lead got all of the spot light, like sure she had the same face at female lead but the way they portrayed it made her seem like she was the lead. The male lead was with the wrong freaking girl the whole time, how do you not know... sighs..

Not to mention the younger brother literally was raging the whole show, " Imma kill you" to his brother. every scene was him just being bitter and full of hatred lol ..

i wouldnt reccomend...

sshhh... I have a crush on you !!

This is how short dramas should be done! This drama is only 20 eps! This was very refreshing. The female lead has been in love with the male lead since high school. She even got into the same college as the male lead. The male lead recognizes her and she becomes super excited.
The female lead is cute and a little ditzy. She would often have daydreams about her and the male lead to how their relationship should develop) like pretending to kiss him in her daydream, or falling asleep on the bus so she can lean on his shoulder etc. She is often awaken by her daydream by the male lead and his friend. The leads starts off as friends, everyone else around them can tell that the female lead likes the male lead. We dont really get to know the male lead's feeling until later on, but he actually also likes her. The female lead doesnt realize it.

This drama is really light hearted and simply sweet without any annoying or evil characters. The plot is simple, their school life, classes, work etc.

The only thing i wish for more of is the romance. There is hardly any kisses, but a peck on the cheek from the female lead and one kiss at the end. They have this cute innocence chemistry between them.

Cliche story of a damsel in distress

Thank God these ep were like 3 mins long. The story wasnt too draggy and pretty fast pace. Loved the romance part but would skip the dog blood part. Your typical poor innocent female lead who finds out her fiance has cheated on her with her sister.
The evil younger sister. The idiotic ex boyfriend, the possessive male lead, more annoying side characters.

The storyline was pretty predictable and i was surprised there was more than just one bad guy/obstacle in the lead's relationship. I liked the lead because even though she appeared weak / being bullied she stood up to her sister and was bracve about.

A little unnecessary that the male lead ex came back to find him, and on top of that , the male lead's sister trying to prevent the leads from being together. Not to mention that there was the third male lead who was in love with the male lead's ex. So basically sabotage, and seperation , and then car accident, not to mention she found out she was pregnant at the end.

Wish they finished the end better and was more rounded, like they would reunite with a better scene, then just casually running into their son.

The kissing scenes were pretty steamy , which surprise me for a mini drama.

Lol after you read this review you basically have watched the whole drama.

Seemed interesting... but fell short

I really wanted to like this drama! but couldnt. It had such potential and seemed kinda cute,, why did they ruin in ?

Female lead has a super taste what wine she has drank before she'll remember it. She is trying to be a wine taster/ recommender at this company name Anda. She takes may blind taste test and wins but is always blocked my the third female lead. They never liked each other. The third female lead never liked the female lead. The male lead has a very strange disease/disorder which his symptoms gets better when the female lead kisses him. He tries to do what he can to pursue her, be her neighbor etc. The male lead never told the female lead his true identity ( being the ceo of Anda company). The male lead has a younger brother. The younger brother is pretty famous in the wine industry. He holds a grudge against his family due to a car accident while he was young. The younger brother becomes the female lead's teacher.

There is just way too many misunderstanding between the leads. It suppose to be a sweet drama since, they kiss so many times! but its not... no chemistry at all..

Few reasons why it flopped

1) FL AND ML didnt have enough chemistry
2) Annoying/evil third female lead character constantly sabotaging.
3) Annoying younger brother
4) male lead is not honest enough in the relationship
5) female lead is too naive

Dont lie in your relationship !!

This drama first half was good and then towards the end such a let down.

The female lead lives in a placed called Tao hua Wu , a place that is hidden from the rest of the world. Tao hua Wu is secluded because there is said to be a fountain of youth there. A rule of Tao hua Wu, outsiders who intrude the land needs to be killed. Somehow the male lead intrudes into the land on the female lead's ceremony to become the protector of tao hua wu.

The female lead doesnt want to kill him and often many times save male lead from being attacked and killed. They eventually fall in love. He falls in love with her simplicity, innocence , kindness and bravery. However the male lead must go back to the place he lives because he is judge. He tries to find out how to leave this place and even draws the map of how the water flows, eventually the male lead's servant finds him.They find the key to leave Tao Hua Wu and its the night of their wedding.

So basically this relationship started off by the male lead not telling the truth about this identity. When the female lead asked if he wanted to leave he didnt tell the truth. When he finally gets out, the female lead goes out to find him. Afterwards, yet again choose not to tell his love one ( the female lead ) the truth about whats he doing, this gets the female lead mad and angry again.

Like if you like someone please communicate no matter how hard it is, dont hide from them please. This is what made this drama so bad...He hid everything from her and didnt explain, which caused miscommunications .

There is an evil character who was interested in the fountain of youth... then the male lead's mom trying to help the evil character... but the evil character was the one who killed male lead's father... so i dont really understand? lol at the end The son and mom both stab the evil guy to death...

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...
