These are the kind of dramas that I love so much. The intrigue, the martial arts, the fantasy, the animation, the music, the set, the costumes, and the skilled actors and actresses with great skills. It kept me focused on every single episode. Wow, I am truly impressed with the storyline. Zhang Yi Shang (Duan Mu Cui) is excellent, want to see more of her, she plays a strong female leading role and I loved it. Darren Chen (Zhan Hong) is the reason why I watched this. I was impressed with Darren Chen in "Meteor Garden" that I had to watch more of him. I am happy that I did. Wang Yi Fei (Hong Luan) gave me a new perspective on her acting skills. My first impression of her in "Ashes of Love" was not that good but now I feel differently. Gu Zi Cheng (Wen Gu Wei Yu), I am feeling that some scenes were "cut". They need to make a drama on this character. I loved the animation of him being a dragon. This is a rewatch for me. I need to absorb the episodes.

I did like the storyline until it got to the last episode, it was like they didn't finish the storyline. Or they were thinking of creating a part 2. I don't find part 2 of this story. Yoon Shi Yoon (Lee Hwi) and Jin Se Yeon (Sung Ja Hyun) played their characters very well. I loved how the character Lee Hwi loved his person! YSY made this part his own. Excellent job! Joo Sang Wook (Lee Kang) was very believable playing the possessive Prince. This Prince was just too evil to sit on the throne. I mean seriously were the men in the historical days that jealous of their siblings? wow. The costumes were the usual of what I have seen in other dramas. There was only enough action.

I feel really gifted to be able to watch Dylan Wang (Dao Ming Si) in the first Drama he acted in. His mother and father are blessed to give birth to a very talented son! What a great actor. He did excellent playing the character “Si”. Shen Yue (Dong Shan Cai), I felt this wasn’t the right role for her, don’t get me wrong, but I really didn’t see any chemistry between her and Dylan Wang. There was a little bit toward the end but that’s it. I loved her in “Mr. Bad”, she became more experienced in her acting skills after her role in Meteor Gardens and it was her third role in a drama. Darren Chen (Hua Ze Lei), where was he all this time… I need to see more of him. He is of perfection besides Dylan Wang. Caesar Wu (Xi Men Yan) is excellent! Leon Leong (Feng Mei Zuo) is very good.

The storyline was cute. Again, Dylan Wang’s wardrobe I loved. I love that roughness in clothes. Wardrobes for CW and LL were also great. The young girl's wardrobe could’ve been better. The visuals were okay. Thanking the team for bringing this story for public viewing.

It was boring for the first few episodes but then he started to pick up. I love these kinds of dramas when it involves martial arts training schools. There are many "I will kill you, but I will blame it on someone else" thoughts. I see that a lot in Historical dramas. I like the suspense of it all but you don't have to wait for you to find out who did what, where, and when... they give you the culprits from the very get-go. The best part of this whole drama is the romance between the two main leads
Ju Jing Yi (Xue Wen Xi) and Song Wei Long (Feng Cheng Jun). The chemistry was there somewhat but it was because of the storyline which you must see. I didn't want her to end up with that character... but this guy Wang Rui Chang (Lei Ze Xin) what a cutie. lol, We all have an opinion.

I usually will talk about how good actors acting skills in their portrayal of the character they played but I will not for this drama... I will talk about how good the whole team did on the topic of rescuing lives in a disaster situation. The whole team was great. The visuals of the ice crevice scenes were incredible toward the end. I have only one critique. I am wondering if the writers had to cut scenes out toward the end. The way he got from the cave sliding on water ice wasn't shown... also I didn't care too much for the ending. I still gave it a good rating because of the awareness of how it is important for these programs to exist to rescue lives. I thank all those who were involved in making this drama.

NOTE: I have been watching Luo Lun Xi for a few years now. When I saw him in Ashes of Love, I felt he had a healthy-looking body frame. One other was And the Winner is Love and Love is Sweet his body frame looked healthy too. I was concerned that his body frame was very thin in this drama, I don't know if he had to lose weight for this drama or if I hope he is not going through some other things. I am just a person who worries about the people I care about.

I wasn't too happy with the storyline. Park Min Young (Choi Sang Eun) played a gold digger for money and prestige in a sense but the storyline changed her to a woman who is willing to be hired for a short term to solve problems. I hope that doesn't give these women out here any ideas, so I will not be recommending this drama to anyone. Go Kyung Pyo's (Jung Ji Ho) acting didn't impress me in this drama. I have viewed his acting in other dramas so this drama won't destroy how I feel about his whole career. Kim Jae Young (Kang Hae Jin) was the best in this drama. I love this actor. I felt he had better chemistry with Park Min Young. Thanking all the other actors, male and female in this drama.

I rated this at a 9 for the reason of the ending. The ending is different from other dramas that I have viewed. Don't get me wrong but this drama was very good so I have to give the screenwriters respect, I just didn't like the ending. Dilraba Dilmurat (Lady Li) was awesome playing this role. Vin Zhang (Ying Zheng) was amazing at playing the King/Emperor. I love watching historical dramas, I learn some things about my heritage. Both Delraba Dilmurat and Vin Zhang are great actors and very respected. Triangle love affairs I can do without. Forced marriages to save a country not only happened in China but that seemed to be the story in Rome and everywhere else. Glad wasn't born back when but my DNA has followed that path. I loved the costumes and the music. The visuals were good. Thanking all that made this drama or a story wouldn't have been told.

This drama was just too short. I don't understand why this wasn't a movie instead of a drama. Watching it on Viki, it was only 8 episodes but on MDL it is listed for 18 episodes. I waited and waited for almost 2 weeks to see if another episode would appear. I had to research to find out what happened to the 8 episodes. Had me all confused. I loved the storyline but it was too short. This should've been a movie instead of a drama series. Yes, I am kind of upset but will easily move on to the next drama. The storyline is a good idea, swapping faces... that was different.

Second Time Watching

When I first watch this was 10/6/2019 and it took me until 2020 to finish it. I was very inexperienced in writing reviews. Now, this is my second time. I hope the review is much better than my first.

This is actually a good action drama. Ji Chang Wook, just OMG, who played Kim Je Ha was amazing and very muscular and healthy-looking. I did my research on Ji Chang Chook and found that he wanted to learn more advanced positions in martial arts for this movie to excel in the fighting skills that he already has. Systema, Taekwondo, Aikido, and Jujutsu for this drama's action scenes I applaud and bow to him with respect His Martial Arts skills were on point. His Martial Art was like watching a dance with the great connection of his kicks and thrusts. His Stamina for doing his own stunts is very impressive. Another Korean actor will be placed at the very top of my favorite actor list. He can sing too. Since this is the second time, I have viewed this drama. I have basically watched everything he has done. Im Yoon Ah who played Ko An Na was also amazing. I loved her acting skills. Playing a weak female part is the hardest to play. The romantic chemistry was very believable between Kim Je Ha and Anna! The main actress Song Yoon Ah (Choi Yoo Jin) is very good at acting out a scheming woman. I feel this whole drama was about scheming and threats but with great fighting scenes. The actress who played Raniya wow those blue eyes were very blue! The guest roles for this were many. The storyline is very well written and so I thank the writers. Thanking all the K2 team for making this a successful drama.

I love a fantasy!

This drama is an excellent story to watch and intriguing. The storyline, I loved, this is my 2nd time watching it because I really got confused the first time. You really have to focus on the episodes. I have to go back and review something that I felt I missed. This actress Dilraba is something else. What a talented artist. Dilraba Dilmurat (Lie Ru Ge) gave her character her all. I just love her. Vic Zhou (Yin Xue) very handsome actor who added a little humor to his character. Vin Zhang (Zhan Feng) is one of the top Chinese actors, his work is on point and I love the martial arts he had to do in this story. Liu Rui Lin (Yu Zi Han) is also a great actor in which I have viewed his work in other dramas. I have to applaud two of the supporting actor Zhang He (Lei Jing Hong) and actress Dai Si (Dao Lie Xiang), I love this pairing and they had chemistry. Leon Lai A (n Ye Luo), I can't leave him out because this actor is good in all he does.

The Martial Art scenes were excellent, the fantasy didn't look fake (Thank God). I loved the wardrobe! The visuals were on point. What a great story, oh I said that already. Thanking everyone else for this great story... oops I said it again.

Vin Zhang (Zhuang Yu) This actor, I will be honest, had bad feelings for him because of "Eternal Love". I could not watch any drama he did after that, how silly of me. That meant he played with extreme raw talent and he was believable in playing the character. it took me two years to watch anything he made. I had to grow to love this actor. I decided to watch and am backtracking to watch other dramas that I miss because he is now one of my top Korean Actors. I love this side of VZ in this drama. The botany scientist was very convincing. It shows his intelligence and that he can play different characters.

Yu Shu Xin(Yu Mei Ren), is an actress I just started watching and may have watched her in other dramas but Love between Fairy and The Devil is where I noticed her talented acting. The only thing about this drama is why I dropped a point off the storyline because the producers or screenwriters had her acting like a child continuously and I know from watching Love between Fairy and the Devil, I believe that is not her. I don't know why they made her look like her character was a spoiled child. I still gave it a 10 because I know that both main leads have great talent. Wow both are beautiful looking! Thanking all the other actors/actresses on the set and the team. I felt like Episode 35 was not the end. I wanted to see more. I am going to rewatch this again, one day.

100 Episodes wow! This is my 2nd time watching this. Seol In Ah (Kim Chung Ah) was amazing but the only problem I had with this actress, I didn’t feel the love chemistry between her and KJY until episode 100. Kim Jae Young (Goo Joon Hwi) is amazing and very tall, no matter what part he plays, he transfers his personality to that character. Jo Yoon Hee(Kim Seol Ah) did very well in the portrayal of the character she played. Yoon Park(Moon Tae Rang) is another tall actor and I like the character he played. Oh Min Suk(Do Jin Woo), this actor was lively with humor and serious when he wanted to be.

The storyline is somewhat different from others. The domino effect of two families was destined in this story. I’m so glad the writers brought attention to suicide prevention and how it is important to see the red flags. The suicide rate in South Korea is #4 Worldwide. I know 100 episodes is a long watch, but the story had to be told.

Thanking the team who worked hard in making and telling the story of Beautiful Love Wonderful life.

This drama is adorable.

Chen Zhe (Yuan Xiao) and Wu Di Shen (Yue Nan Xing) Oh my goodness, these two were the cutest couple. They displayed great chemistry and were believable. I loved the couple of Luo Ming Jie (Lu Zi Chen) and Qu Jing Jing (Ye Qing) although their chemistry was not 100% but doable. The writers got the storyline right, it was different from other Time Travel dramas. The only similarity to the others is that the water was the sole source of time travel. I need to see a time-travel drama that doesn't use water. A drama that can pull out my emotions deserves a 10. I didn't pay much attention to the music because I was too focused on the story. You will be satisfied to watch all the episodes... don't skip or you will miss some great parts.

I love Lee Seung Gi who played Kim Jeong Ho. He is fantastic no matter what he does. It looks like he gained a couple of pounds which really looks good on him. I love when he plays characters like this, to know that he loves making people laugh and turns around playing a serious role. This drama has me wanting to watch Vagabond again. He is one of the best vocals ever. I loved the ending. Lee Se Young who played Kim Yu Ri. It looks like she played in another drama with LSG and I loved that storyline also. LSY is a great actress and I love how she takes on characters who are strong-willed. She also can be very witty as well. The storyline is about lawyers again, it seems I have been watching a lot of those lately. I love this storyline pitting defense against prosecution and then joining each other to solve their own issues. Thanking all the actors/actresses who acted up and beyond in making this story work. I applaud the screenwriters, story tellers, producers and the rest of the team who made me, the audience, love this drama.

This was really a cute storyline, I enjoyed it. I needed to smile and this made me smile all the way to the last episode. Liu Te playing Gu Rong Yan is cute and being a new actor, I thought he did very well. LT is very tall at 6.2. As he also towered over Ling Mei Shi who played Su Jing Jing. I loved the strong character she played. The storyline I loved. It was different than other storylines. I love everything Liu Te wore, he looks good in leather. The one outfit that Ling Me Shi wore, the all-black bodyguard outfit, and those boots oh my goodness, those boots were the best thing I have seen in boots in a long time.

Usually, in dramas, I view similar storylines but different actors/actresses with different scenes. This a drama that a family can watch together. A lot of writers are stuck in history with rich versus lowly (poor or middle-class) people. You will love the ending.
