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.

Overcoming obstacles to be the best you !

Had high hopes for this drama! and it kinda disappoint. The first half of this was utterly boring! ( i would consider the first half, when the leads havent gotten together), however after they gotten together the drama turned pretty good.

Female lead and male lead knew each other in elementary school and were good friends, they even gave gifts to each other, that they still kept as adults. The male lead recognized the female lead as the childhood friend early on but the female lead didnt even remember the male lead until right before they got together.

This drama did had some cute moments of accidentally kissing. To me they have a decent chemistry but not strong enough for me. The ost song video basically ruined everything. They put all of their kissing scenes on there, so if you want to skip the drama and just watch the kissing scenes its there....

This story's flow is done in chunks, like the first half was just kind of boring parts nothing stood out, finally when they had some accidentally kissing it sparked the drama a bit. They finally got together but after couple ep was going to break up.. and finally make up.... ) squished a bit too much in the last half.

I liked that the male lead took the initiative and was bold about saying he liked her. Usually the leads are wishy washy, dont know how to confess but this one was pretty straight forward.

Two cities rivals fall in love

This drama is about three cities and their city king. Ye Zhao Nan ( the female lead ) is disguise as a boy from birth. The male lead is the opposing city king ( who supposedly hates Ye Zhao nan). During one hunting experience, Ye Zhao nan fakes that she is getting assassinated and meets the male lead. The female lead buts her in the process of being saved and forgets her identity and as Ye Zhao Nan. She meets the three people " who claim to be her father and two brothers. These three are a spy and want to kill the city king aka male lead. SO they make up a story and lie to the female lead, even giving her a new name.

The first half of the drama was nicely done, funny, witty, light hearted, but the second half was so boring I practically skipped everything.

The leads have incredible chemistry! Love all of their scenes together, steamy scenes too.

I liked the female lead's acting because she can play this obnoxious, mean looking king pretty well. She may not be the prettiest but her acting portrays the character well.

The twin evil sister was kind of unnecessary and boring....

Stone cold ML meets quirky FL and their story about restoring art pieces!

Didnt know what to expect when i got into this drama, but this was soooo good! Finally a good drama to end 2022 lol .

Female lead dreams to one day become an art restoration person. Her hobby and side jobs includes recreating the old art pieces and drawings. The male lead personality is stone cold, and is good at restoring the ancient art drawings/pieces. Their paths cross because of a fake painting . The male lead is also really famous online for doing live streams of restoring art pieces., but he has never shown his face only his hands. After their "fake" art piece, the female lead wants to become the apprentice of the male lead but the male lead initially was hesitant. They grow through a lot of things together and this bond makes them closer and fall in love.

This is my first drama of this type of genre. I found it refreshing and interesting, getting to learn some history too.

The leads actually had a really cute relationship, totally full of chemistry. I find it quite surprising because in real life the male lead is 14 years older than the female lead. I thought they wouldn't have any kissing scenes, but they did. Even though its not much but I really liked their cute and genuine relationship. ( wish there was more lol)

I watched it without subs

Wife revenge on cheating husband

This drama starts off with the female lead about to commit suicide by standing on the ledge. Its later on revealed that her husband is having an affair with her sister. The husband is a cheater and is lying to the wife to try to get their company for himself. However the female lead goes back into the past with her current memory and attempts to take revenge on all who have done her wrong.

I hate the character of the female lead sister and the husband... They get on screen time but not too much.

This drama has basically none romance involved. The male lead does help the female lead out by getting her company back. The male lead and female lead met like 5 years ago. He is opposing company ceo.

It is not worth your watch. I watched it without subs .

Started strong but quickly fell downhill !

I had high hopes for this drama because I like the female actress. She is always very cheery and happy. It was pretty good in the beginning and then dragged on and on. I was surprise that the second leads kissed before the main, but they both had their first kiss by episode 5, but soon after that the plot was a disappointment.

Female lead is cute and what seems to have a sunshine personality, but in fact she is super self conscious about her studies in med. She only choose med as her major because the male friend she likes wants to become a doctor. On the day that she is finally going to confess, her male friend tells the female lead that he actually has been in secret relationship with her best friend. She is sad and drinks, of course being drunk she make a vow to court the best looking guy in school , which happens to the the male lead. The male lead is your standard , cold, intelligent guy, who basis is science and data.

The male lead eventually falls in love with the female lead, but the female lead thinks she is not matched to the male lead. She views herself as inferior.

whats annoying is that the male lead likes her in the beginning but at that time , she didnt like him. Ok! finally she figures out that she likes him, but she is too self concious. After she tries to confess, he tries to confess and basically its a cat a mouse chase,. By ep 20 they are finally together but their romance has lost all sizzle for me.

Keep in mind this drama is only 24 episodes long! This isnt fluff , its more like frustration that they arent together earlier and keep on missing the time to be together.

started somewhat interesting and feel towards a steep hill dowwards

DISCLAIMER- this drama is not focused on romance ! also 40 ep is way to long.

It started really promising with the cases, but eventually it got kinda boring! Like it would be the same format and i became impatient with the female lead trying to listen to all of the different types of disorders. What might of made it more interesting is to use text to show what is the definition of certain disorders, like bipolar, body dismorphia, panic attack, etc.

Whats annoying is you know there is an evil person, but that person still hasnt show their true motives and is basically doing so much behind the leads back. He also gets way too much on screen time! Super creepy.....

Also the leads dont have chemsistry! like I already watched until episode 27 and there is nothing!

WAS EXPECTING MORE...

I honestly was expecting more from this drama, the named seemed interesting... This drama really has no storyline, at least not strong enough. It was so boring that I had to drop it.
Female lead is a food magazine editor and male lead is a chef/ ceo of the food magazine. The male lead is the boss of the female lead. Initially they kinda headed butts but the male lead eventually falls for her.

The male lead struggles with not being able to cook food because of a past hurt relationship with an ex.. He gets headaches when he tries. Female lead goes to a popular restaurant which the male lead is the head chef. She tries to get a spot so she can taste the chef's speciality and write a report on it.... So i dont understand why the male lead is able to make the food for her. ( she doesnt know that the male lead is the chef.

in terms of romance the second female lead gets her first kiss before the female lead, which is a no no in my book. The leads had very little chemistry, didnt feel the sizzle or the heart skip a beat.... Also this drama is lacking in romance between the leads... however this drama is probably the very few that actually start their relationship by holding hands ... haha almost all dramas start with a kiss and then confession.

There really was no main point, or plot, just the male lead's restaurant getting accused of being eating there and food poisoning. Also the female lead's personality doesnt shine much and she isnt that much of use.

This drama barely shows any delicious looking foods. I was kinda expecting that the food would heal the male lead or female lead but that was me thinking too much haha.

Skip this drama...

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)

STICK WITH S1!!! season 2... just mehhh

I have a different opinion than the ones who rate a 9 or 10 and say its really good fluffy rom com. There are definitely parts where its super funny and sweet.

This drama is pretty predictable, the the plot being very choppy. This one really didnt have much of a storyline besides trying to get the pheromones perfume. Its basically the female lead chasing the male lead ( who didnt like her at first), then eventually falling in love, some sweet moments, seperation, third male lead trying to interrupt, memory loss for the female, male chasing the female, more seperation...

points i liked
1) The factor that the female lead is attracted to the male lead by the phermones and she collects them in her ring, which is cute :)
2) the two lead's relationship. they are a cute couple and have decent chemistry. Also like the 2nd leads, they are also super cute!
3) the songs were really good! love Bie's singing <3
things that were iffy
1) it was sorta cute that the female lead kept squeezing the male lead's chest muscles ( but at the same time isnt that like sexual harassment lol )
2) that they always split and come back
3) annoying third male lead trying to sabotage the relationship

You got a friend in me! Together ewe can!

I also came in with no expectations at all! This is by far the best school genre drama! Definitely a must watch!

Female lead Xu Jing Jing always has gotten the worst scores in the class, because of this she has little self esteem. However she is really good at judo/taekwondon and drawing. She has a loveable and brave personality. Male lead Kang jia wei is a obese, smart , straight A student. Xu jing Jing tries to help Kang jia wei lose weight and Kang Jia Wei helps with Xu Jing jing's test scores.
XJJ likes the straight A student Gao Zhan and kang Jia wei likes the Xu Jing JIng ( another girl in the class that isnt the female lead)

Together they grow through a lot! like losing weight, getting better scores, improving self esteem, re- establish relationships, fighting for dreams , I really like the fact that the story develops not just between the two but in their classroom. I also liked that they supported each other in their lowest times and their classmate's lowest times.

The relationship of the leads are so good! Such great chemistry. I was starting to think there would be no kissing in the drama , but im glad in happened in the end! Even thought hardly any kissing but there are still those moments of heartbreak and heart strings pulled.

So Good! pleasantly surprised by this drama

Super confusing tale of time traveling

umm where do i begin?

After finished watching I still left a little confused..

Female lead Tan Jiao discovers that she mysteriously lost one year's memory, and that is after she boarded a cruise. On the cruise she meets the male lead Wu Yu and the younger sister Wu miao. She gets a mysterious note and is intrigued by the note and decides to meet up. At the same time in their city there has been a serial murder of 5 woman. Wu Yu sister also gets murder. They are basically trying to find who is the culprit.

The story reveals too much./ has a lot things going on...
like.. suddenly in ep 7 they can travel back in time but can only stay 15 days. Through each time's travel they change the course of whats happen

Tan JIao almost dies like twice, same for the male lead

To be honest the store's pacing is not even., kinda dull and finally everything towards the last 5 episode. I had a bunch of questions throughout that werent anwsered. The suspect you suspect isnt actually the culprit...

The lead's chemistry is minimum. I think li yi tong did a great job... but JIn han on the other hand wasnt as convincing to me. I cant really see it his eyes the love her has for the female lead. The female lead expresses it better. I still say that the time travel drama cant beat the taiwanese one ( Some day or one day)

Cute "cliche" contract romance ..... fell short

This drama had some potential but it ended up falling short! I think because the main genre has been done so many times, a contracted marriage/relationship between a star and a normal person. It doesnt bring much excitement. I mean what is new about this is the female lead has ALS

I actually quite like the female lead's personality, cute, sweet, bubbly despite knowing she will eventually one day die of ALS. She remains very optimistic and friendly.

I dont like the female star , who was the male lead's ex gf, and the male lead's ex band mate ( who happens to also like the female lead) They are kinda annoying...

As for the storyline its pretty cliche. They get together to cover up a scandal, they have to act very lovey dovey and eventually fall in love, but the female lead doesnt want to ruin the life of the male lead with her sickness.

Cute moments when they are trying to film their mv, but after that it lost interest for me..so i end up dropping..

MP3 that can connect you to the past

I must say the concept of this drama is pretty good but was it well executed ? NOPE
A slight disappointment because it started as suspenseful, but kinda just faded out to where it didnt really make much sense..

The female lead is an actress. She is in her 30s and is about to get replaced by another actress who is younger than her. She decides to share some gossip of that younger actress , which results in the younger actress attempted suicide. Female lead attends a high school gathering and is sent a video/ recording of what she did. She finds her old mp3 and finds out that it can connect her old high school self. She starts to suspect all of her high school friends.

She has two best friend and two guy friends ( who both like her) . One is always bickering with her Yu Ming. The other use to be a chubby kid, but now is tall and handsome.

the story focuses of her high school trying to fix up the relationships and the things in order for her future self to figure out who is blackmailing her. it flashes between her high school times and current actress time.

Too much, back and forth without much progression made it a little dull. Like there was nothing really revealing who it actually was. She just literally went down the list. I was just as confused....

There is hardly any romance up until the very end... so wouldnt reccommend for romance.. It had potential like but eventually all the excitement/suspense fizzled out...
