I wanted to see the drama where Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun met but honestly it looked like they were close before this drama. Who knows. I was glad that I was able to watch it. Storyline I loved but there were parts that I could look at. Lawyer dramas are becoming the same type of story. You have lawyers and you have court cases. Ji Chang Wook, I love how they kept his Ji Wook name in the storyline. I so love his personality, it comes out on the screen. My first time watching Nam Ji Hyun perform. I love the perky side of her. Nam Ji Hyun's performance was excellent. Choi Tae Joon is really handsome. I am going to see what other dramas he plays in. He also performed well. 3% martial art if that, but NJH managed to get a couple of scenes. Dong Ha did great playing someone evil, it kind of scared me. Thanking everyone for a job well done.

This was a really cute romance. Li Jia Qi who played Ni Chang played her character with excellence. She did very well changing from one name to another for family's sake. At first, I felt that another actress should have played the part because they need someone who had a strong personality. I was fooled because she did play the part like she was supposed to.
Bi Wen Jun who played Ou Yang Ziyu did a great job with three types of personality not at the same time nor did have a personality disorder... He was mental when he had to be, serious, and loving. I would love to see more of him but it looks like he is new to the acting scene. He is only 24 but he is very handsome and tall. The storyline like I said was cute but then again it was very serious. The investigative scenes had me going. Thanking all those who played support roles. Thanking the crew of Ni Chang.

This would have been a great watch but there were a few episodes toward the end that only played the audio. For some reason, the video was scrambled. I loved the storyline and I hope they fix those episodes. A lot of treachery among the female cast and one of the main characters. Xing Fei who played Lu An Ran did pretty well with her character. She was the first main lead so that told me the story surrounding her character. No competition among the men or the women's character but the women who went against the main lead played their jealousy very convincingly. Actor Zhai Zi Lu who played Mu Chuan loved how he kept his character in a calm state. If I was that character, I would have declared war. Jing Chao who played the character of Mu Ze, OMG I don't want to ever bump heads with him. He was too convincing. I want to thank all of those who had support roles in this drama. The team who was in charge of the filming didn't do well. It's a wonder China let this one air.

A cute Story.

This was just normal day life in the neighborhood. I loved the storyline and all the actors who had parts in this story. Chen Xiao who played the character Yang Guang, he is an excellent actor. I enjoyed him Queen Dugu! This was kind of a relaxing part for him. Wang Xiao Chen who played the lawyer Liao Wang, her character was rough! My favorite part of of this drama was Wei Qing who played the part of Yang Guang's grandmother. She played that part like it was her real life. She was truly believable. She is a true actress. I thank all the supporting actors and actresses, which is one of my favorite things to say. The visual and the storyline about mediation is a true thing in the United States. Our court system has mediators but only if it is about children. I wished we had that same mediation for adults. "Citizen Mediators" is not a bad idea. Thank you, writers and the whole team of "Simmer Down".

I am so angered!

Why are the writers in China destroy a story in the last episode? OMG! I mean c'mon writers get it together. I watched 40 episodes to not see what I wanted to see. At least you didn't kill them off. But seriously, this is not the first time you all ruined it for me. I will still rate it at a 10 because of Ren Jia Lun and Li Qin. Ren Jia Lun who played Lu Yan and Li Qin who played Yu Deng Deng absolutely played their parts with perfection! I loved the fantasy, the martial art, and the visuals all were done awesomely. Thank you to the team and I hope enough of us complain about giving the fans a great ending. This ludicrous. We are already so many bad things out in the real world, we need to see something positive.

I do not like watching police dramas! But this one was not too bad. I loved the storyline but had one hiccup that did not make sense to me. It is not worth my time to go back and re-watch it. Another teary eye moment but what can I say... actually I sobbed hard. Zhang Ruo Yun who played Li Da Wei was outstanding. I have watched him in other dramas, and this one was one of his best acts. Bai Lu in Ordinary Greatness Chinese Drama (2022). Bai Lu who played Xia Jie, I just love her, this is not the typical role she would choose to play. That kind of surprised me. BL is just simply great whether she performs well or not. Wang Jing Chun who played the Chief Wang Shou Yi was another character I just wanted to throw my boots at the tv. He played such a strict chief, OMG, that was rough on me and those he commanded. I was surprised that Xu Kai Cheng played a supporting role. I just love him also. If you like police stories this one is for you, I promise. Sad there wasn't any martial arts in this drama but oh well you can't have everything, right?

This is another one I forgot to write a review but I did watch it twice so I had to watch it again. Now I know why I forgot to write a review. I couldn't express words for this drama because it had me so emotional and teary-eyed. I'm even having a hard time writing a review on it now. The storyline was great don't get me wrong. Seo In Guk who plays the character Kim Moo Young absolutely took this character to another level. I mean OMG, this actor loves to play villain roles and his eyes are perfect for that type of role. His eyes are beautiful and can be a dangerous weapon if you ask me. I research Seo In Guk, just letting y'all know his vocals are perfect. It seems like South Korea has the most beautiful voices in the world when it comes to singing. The talent there is just phenomenal. I am praying that if there is such a thing as being reborn... let me be reborn in South Korea. Jung So Min who played the character of Yoo Jin Kang, wow, I love this actress! She can play a strong woman role awesomely. I loved her in Alchemy of Souls. Park Sung Woong who played the character Yoo Jin Gook, OMG, I wanted to reach into my TV and just slap him in the back of his head. For that actor to stir my anger emotions high... he did a great job. As you see in how I rate this, there was a hiccup in the storyline but you will have to watch to see what I am talking about.

Thanking all of The Smile Has Left Your Eyes team for making this drama, I applaud you. I want to thank the screenwriters and producers for orphan children and the orphanage that takes care of them. Not all orphanages are bad but some are.

This topic is very sensitive to me.

I hate that I'm aging and knowing that this may happen to me, I know now my life span is cut short. I want to have a feeling of peace before it is time for me to leave this earth. Hospice in the United States is not the place that I ever want to be. Elders in Assisted Living and Hospice settings are mistreated. So when seeing this story regarding Hospice and Last wish made my heart turn a flip. The storyline starring Ji Chang Wook, I mean this actor, just made the character Yoon Kyeo Re his own. I love him! Actress Choi Soo Young, Actor Sung Dong Il, and Actress Won Ji An also made their character come to life in this story. Actress Won Ji An was something else and very believable. I'm glad they brought two types of awareness into this story which are aging and suicide. The gangster life is basic in this story, so be prepared.

I was disinterested in watching this when I first saw the cover photo. The storyline was cute and I feel those who love romance novels should watch this. I had a problem with how the actors were picked for this story. Please, let me explain...
Yoo Ji Tae who played the character of Han Jae Hyun and Park Jin Young who played Han Jae Hyun in his 20s didn't match physically. I understand a young boy would grow in height before the age of 23. Their facial appearance would not change unless they had cosmetic surgery. I guess my imagination couldn't play this mind game in a story. Knowing photo forensics that did sit well for me. I love Park Jin Young playing an activist as I am a real activist His acting was very on point on what we as activists do in real life. Thank you, Park Jin Young. Not saying that Yoo Ji Tae didn't do a good job because he did. I felt like they were two different people. Now, Lee Bo Young who played Yoon Ji Soo, and Jeon So Nee who played Yoon Ji Soo in her 20s did match and so it became believable to me. Both of these young ladies did very well.

The story was cute and romantic, and the visuals were great! The writers did get the divorce correctly in this story. Why is it that divorce causes rifts, threats, and physical violence between couples? I'm glad this story didn't have any physical violence but threats were so heartbreaking. I'm glad it all worked out right. I did notice how Han Jae Hyung's son was named after his lost love.

Thank you to all the supporting actors and actresses who also did a great job. Thank you to the team of When My Love Blooms, y'all did well.

I love this drama very much. I only had one hiccup and that was trying to understand the last 3 episodes. I had watched them like 4 times to get what the story writers were doing. I finally did. I hope that whoever watches understands the ending as well. The acting and the romance were livid. Zheng Ye Cheng who played Fu Jiu Yun did excellent with this character. I want to see more of him. Zhao Lu Si who played Zhao Lu Si Di Ji/Qin Chuan, I just love this actress, she is just incredible with her acting skills. Every time I see her perform in a drama, she works hard to turn into the character she is playing. This actress had me so emotional. This will be a rewatch for me. The fantasy and the martial art were good. The two main leads had me not so focused on the fantasy world which I love but my focus was on the story this time. I thank all the supporting actors and actresses as I always do because they also worked hard. The visuals were also good. Do not skip episodes are you will find yourself going back to watch them and understand what happened.

The storyline was great but did have one hiccup. I felt that in the end, they left out a lot of the storyline. It surely skipped part of the ending and looked like it was missing. This is another one of those dramas you can't skip episodes on or you will miss needed-to-be-watched information. Xu Kai (Ding Yun Qi), what can I say, his acting is awesomely great and very handsome.
Elaine Zhong (Wu Shuang), played another strong female character and she was excellent. Kudos to her! The other main actors and supporting actors/actresses also did very well. As I always say if a team works together they will get the job done and show a great story. The costumes were great, I love the historical garments of what martial art sects wore. I loved the martial arts in this drama. It was like watching great dancers. Xu Kai was dressed in some fabulous suits, wow. The visuals for the Kunlun Mountains were totally interesting and awesome that I had to research these mountains. The formation of the mountain range is incredible. Thank you for a great storyline and for educating me on the Kunlun Mountains.

I hate one part of this whole drama. It had me crying for a whole dang episode! It turned out perfectly... hahaha I scared y'all huh? Kim Nam Gil played his character Dr. Heo Im was incredible. Kim Ah Joong who plays Choi Yeon Kyung is a strong woman for playing this part. The elder actors did fantastically well! I love travel time dramas and this one had me laughing, crying, and shaking my head. I didn't know what to expect. You can NOT miss an episode with this one and don't go all the way to the last episode to see what happens or you will ruin it for yourself. The visuals and I know the crew had to be busy working two sets of historical Korea to present day Korea. I love the medical uniforms they wore during the Joseon period. This is a must-watch. Thank you to all the crew that was involved in this drama. Thanking the producers and writers, this was a great story.

This is not the first time I watch Park Bo Gum in a Korean Drama. But this is the first time I focused and paid attention to his acting ability. He is really great, I love the little side of humor he put in playing this character. Kim Yoo Jung did well in this drama. I admit that this Korean China had some twists all throughout the drama which I enjoyed. Jung Jin Young, what a fine-looking young man he is with perfect heart shape lips. Then there is Kwak Dong Yeon fine as he wants to be. I was happy! Don't worry, I paid attention to the storyline and I enjoyed it. The visuals and the historic set were awesome. The fighting was not so gory but good. Thank goodness! I didn't really pay attention to the music but only focused on the storyline. Thank you to all who made this story come to life.

Update: My 2nd time watching it and I had to upgrade the rating to 10. I so loved this drama after watching it a 2nd time... and there will probably be a 3rd time.

*pouting*

I had to give this a 10 even if the writers got it wrong by killing off both big stars, Cheng Yi and YangZi who played Yan Dan and YingYuan. Then decided like 2 weeks later to add episodes 60 and 61 to make up for their error. Made a lot of us fans of both Cheng Yi and YangZi really upset. Knowingly how a drama is that long to kill off both leads. Wow at the writers. Had me crying my eyes out and felt like my heart sinking into oblivion. I still have tears in my eyes. From Episodes 1 through 58 it was going super great until the last few minutes of 58 and then here comes 59 with a different scenario. OMG did I just feel an earthquake under my feet? unt uh. This was a believable story and everyone made this fantasy work so thank you. Thank you writers for bringing them back into the mortal world.

I watched this before on Feb 23, 2020, but never reviewed it. This is when I was learning how to review dramas'. Yu Meng Long who played Jing Ci was really awesome, his personality of calmness brought this story to the front. I remember his acting in Eternal Love and loved the way he puts his personality on the screen. A lot of fans will be bored with YML because of how he plays the character. He knows how to perform an action when it comes to martial arts but that is just him. I feel he is a different type of actor and I love it. Chen Yu Qi who played Yuan Qing Li, also made the character hers. I love Yu Qi, she is also a great actress. I loved her in Ashes of Love, etc. I loved all the wardrobes the actor and actresses were wearing. The visuals were on point as well as the music. The only thing I had a problem with is writers in China always write similarly to one another going back n forth between romance and death scenes. I guess in the historical world, death by poison was the thing. In a sense that is still true, with the all chemicals they put in foods, it is a wonder we are all still alive.
