Just like the title

One of the worst short rom-com story you can find. The story as usual evolve around marriage contract. Huang Fu Hao in the need to stop one woman that keep plastering to him, find dimsel in distress that have crazy mom whose really want the daughter in relationship or marriage in their case later on.

But just the title itself love is weird, the story start weird, middle weird & until the end still weird. Haha... The love between our ML & FL start really abruptly & weird with no warning & ending with the kidnaping of our FL with the love rival or the crazy woman from the start. And suddenly there's also the woman's dad being arrested etc, that literally have no connection with the story itself. See the story start weird, middle weird & until the end still weird.

Just go watch something else....

At first I quite like this drama. So long not see the ML that flirting with our FL in historical drama. But due to one illogical plot I have to reduce the score.

What I like:
+ FL smart, brave, adorable sometimes. Well what not too like about this FL... Haha...
+ ML handsome, smart, not so cold & kinda flirty with our FL... Haha...
+ The chemistry between our lead couple. Even though it's not the best chemistry, but I can feel their feeling for each other.
+ How Pei Zhao / Prince Qi (PQ) respect Su Ci (SC) opinion & her job. PQ never use his position as a prince to make things easier for SC at her job. Even when she compete for her promotion, PQ only teach her & do his best to assist her in her lesson.
+ Adorable second couple. The stupid Xie Bei Ming & smart Dong Ru Shuang at the first look not so match, but in the end their the perfect fit for each other.
+ The unusual brotherhood of Prince Qi & Emperor. Usually brother of empire like to stab each other, but here see how trust emperor with his brother is really comforting.
+ The good choice that Xie Bei Ming (BM) pick. We can see the struggle BM when he has to choose between the right thing to do and his adopted father. Even though still he kinda stupid to try avoid everyone in the process....

The minus:
- Once more all the case kinda force to be there. To make this drama still about investigation upon all the story.

Ok the illogical plot that I meant. Don't read if you don't want to get spoiler
Maybe it's only me but I really feel this kinda strange. The incident where SC try to stab PQ. She said it's because she recognize his voice as the mastermind behind the massacre of her family, but hello... Aren't you supposed already know PQ voice from the beginning.... How can you just identify him as the murderer now.... For me it's doesn't make sense, because for me his voice is no different from the beginning. And that whole 'incident' or story just for they can make the thing happen later kinda make sense or feel more tense....

Overall this quite good story for you to watch.

Interested to watch this from YT clip. Turned out quite funny, but not as funny as I thought it will be. And you can say quite meaningful.

Teenage years the rebelion phase. Very funny how the mother get 'revenge' by her own 'rebelion way'. Given her daughter lesson while still show the mother love is just something mother do... And the bento is really pretty to looked at & learn to...

Unfortunately the new story that come later kinda ruin the whole story for me. The story about father & son, it's like they abruptly just stop the storyline. Or the later story about the daughter find job in the different city, is kinda unmatched with the whole storyline.

But overall this one good story to watch. Maybe better if they became drama, so some story can unravel more...

Just leave ur prejudice before watch this

Watch this due to watch YT short clip. At first not planned to watch this drama this fast, but that short clip really intrigued me. And I'm not disappointed watching this. Haha...

Ok. Just like I said just leave ur prejudice before watch this. I mean leave what you know about harem or Palace drama. Because this drama nothing like that & really gonna overturned what you expect about harem or Palace drama.

What I like / different about this drama:
+ All the sisterhood. Nobody really anybody enemy in this harem. All the woman are in the end friend and helper of each other. Especially in 3rd prince house is really funny & unique, how all the woman become friend instead backstabbing each other just to get prince attention.
+ All the brotherhood between the prince. Well so glad finally to see the real brotherhood between the prince for once. Where the prince live like a real brother & have support one each other, then just see they purely just rivalry and scheming between the prince for get power.
+ The feminism. How the woman try to change century prejudice or rule about woman. Like woman supposed to be at home only looking after their house, but here Li Wei (LW) build business instead.
+ Talk about depression after childbirth. Very sensitive issue to touch here, but they pulled it.
+ The couple. I really like how every couple’s relationship is developed & not only focus to our main couple (LW & Yin Zheng [YZ]). Especially I really like how Shang Guan Jing & Yin Qi relationship develop.
+ The beautiful introduction about all the other district. They not only talk about what special about that district but also about martial status in some district. Like how ji chuan is monogamy, xin chuan like every kingdom (poligamy with many wives) and dan chuan dominated by woman.
+ The most weird thing is the king is not called by name king or Emperor but just lord. So unusual...

What feel like force / minus in the drama
- Yuan Ying really fit the role of legal wife of the prince that in the end really fit for the role of Empress/Queen. But because of our FL, LW, the real/true love of YZ, of course she must move aside. And her obsessions with becoming minister is really just doesn't make sense.
- The crazy part when LW about to become legal wife from just consort. All the action is just doesn't make sense. Like they already do the first night, yet YZ still try to get LW's dad approval & to do all the procedure to do marriage ceremony in the 'right' way. Yeah maybe some of you will think that what YZ did looked like oh so sweet, but for me it just like wasting duration. They should be able to wrap sooner.
- Too many episode. For me everything that comes after YZ appointed as the crown prince is a little bit just wasting duration. It's like they need some more story just to make the episode into 40 ep long.

Really funny actually, before I watched AvenueX on YouTube, I've never really think about this. But what she said that true for me:
- all too easy for our ML. Our ML, Yin Zheng (YZ), got it so easy. It's like everything settle for him without he really need to do much. Like when LW struggle with her restaurant, we see YZ not really do much for her, LW rely more on her sister (all the princes wife) & herself then hoping that YZ will do something for her.
- All the problem so easy to solved & all the bad person so easy to change their mind & attitude. Like Yin Jun / 4th Prince so easy to change his attitude after his father scold him.

Overall this really unique historical drama that worth your time to watch it...

stupid but cute

Really interested to watch this for see the chemistry between Vin Zhang & Yu Shu Xin. The plot itself kinda stupid in some part, but overall drama still consider cute for me. So yeah I succeed watch till the end and you can say I quite like it... Haha.....

The stupidity:
- The way Jin Xi (JX) fall in love to Li Tian Tian (TT) is one of the most stupid way to fall in love in drama world. Just because TT give umbrella to him when it's raining he instantly falling in love with her.
- How the man (JX & Zhuang Yu [ZY]) never really learn from their previous mistake. Like JX that lying to TT about his leg...
- The one year break for both man (JX & ZY). Whatever the reason the drama give us, the one year break is just stupid.
- The easy forgiveness the woman (Yu Mei Ren[MR] & TT) give to the man (JX & ZY). Especially TT give to JX. Just because of his leg, after that lie & the one year disappearing. Too easy baby....
- All the flirt that MR did. It's like MR did have the score, it's gonna be more interested if we can see MR like did the scoring or whatever. But the trick like ZY said, later on, useless since he already use it on MR too... Haha...
- All the 'cuteness' that MR show in the drama. Like when she kinda force the cuteness. Like when she left alone in the library.
- The stupid concept of make up. MR things she completely different without make up. Hey you're not in the superman movie, where Clark Ken took off his glasses & become superman he is unreckoned by anyone else.

What I like or consider cute:
+ The positive attitude of the woman (MR & TT). Like TT said about MR being the FL, "It's because you're able to reflect on yourself. Most people in the world would like to take the credit for themselves when succeeded, but blame others when they fail. You'll dread when you succeed, while reflecting on urself when u fail. That's why you are the leading role."
+ The cuteness is stupid, but still cute in some scene. Like when MR pretend to be village witch or what (the one she use basket in her head). It's somehow cute.
+ ZY just so cute... From the first we can see how jealousy he is. But it took him a whole year to realize his own feeling. And after that his attitude toward MR just so cute & protective. I like it... Haha...
+ The chemistry between Vin Zhang & Yu Shu Xin not so disappointed. I really like their interaction.
+ The little cut scene at the end of each episode...

Overall: This one cute little drama to watch.

Watch this of course for my 2022 ALPHABET DRAMA/MOVIE CHALLENGE.

At first this movie kinda dull/bored. But toward the end get more and more fun to watch.

This movie told story about how the world so faked. Like how they manipulated the result of award. That's why when Kiichiro Ota show up with all his genuinity/integrity people got so hooked by him & that's why he can make a different and people still willing to hear him.

Overall this one good movie for you to watch. But yeah it's japan, so a little bit hard to find. Just try all piracy web that you know. Haha...

making architecture interesting

Watch this for my MDL Watch Challenge 2022, documentary section. I think one of the most interesting title among all the usual documentary genre selection that I read, that's why I choose this drama. Thanx God even though this j-drama I can find it with eng sub.

This drama/documentary about architecture even for me who doesn't really like architects interested. They, like TPT38 wrote, shoot from the point of view someone talking about about their hobby with their friend. So they have very relax atmosphere & the detail about architecture also interesting to see...

And don't forget however this still about drama. So of course they still make sure it's not only about architecture. But also about drama of the character life. How Haruno Fuji have to make decision about her life and the suggestion that Uekusa Chiaki give sometimes we can adapt to our own life too...

And lastly, the food also really interested. Like how they combine the food with the architecture that they just visit. Really make me want to visit all the place listed here when I visit Japan....

one confusing short drama

Watch this for my 2022 Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge. Expect nothing much but good comedy and decent plot. But unfortunately even I only expect that 2 from this drama, still it can't deliver.

Fair warning... I will gonna complain a lot & give a full blown about the plot. If you don't want to know just skip my review then...

*************************************************************************************************************************







What a confusing plot. At first episode we already face with the statement: "I'm Liang Wei Wei, without reason I'm becoming a queen in costume drama." And the next scene come the consort & she make love with our king & murderer happen the next day.... HELLO.... What the hell happen? Who is Liang Wei Wei (WW)? We get a glimpse that she maybe comes from the future through phone. But where the hell is our explanation? And WW herself not even confuse with the whole thing that happen, she knows that even she died she will in the loop where the day will gonna repeat itself...? HOW.....?!

And the end also What The Hell....????!!! What happen with the glitch that happen to our king...? And the final where she get out from the 'drama' how the hell she know....

Don't make me even start with the uncle. Is he bad...? Did he really do everything for our king...? Or maybe he himself that really want to rebelled....?

UGH... What a really confusing plot.

But how ever I really like our king in the end. How he fall in love with WW, gain trust of her. & their chemistry quite good.

If only this drama have more decent plot of how WW got into the drama I really gonna give quite high rating, because yeah like Archem099 wrote everything quite there. The romance, the story, the politics. Really unfortunate it has very very confusing plot that explained nothing....

Watch the trailer in YT but forget about it & don't know the title, finally found it when searching for movie that I want to watch.

Really like the brotherhood between Sky Ko & Paul Ahn. From the trailer itself I can sense they never really fight with the grudge between each other. But only healthy competition between them.

But this movie have some loopholes that not quite make sense, maybe because this just movie so they have shorter duration to explained all:
- The betrayal of Mayo. Not enough explanation through the movie. Where's the ambition comes from, so sudden.
- And although I really like the end where Sky Ko just walk out the stage. But the end just like leaving some more question than answer.
- The stupid owner of stellar restaurant. Just complete jerk & out of place.

Overall this is one good movie about healthy competition & brotherhood. Really hope this can make into drama, so we can get more elaborate about some of the things...

one unique pampered girl

Watch the trailer in YT but forget about it & don't know the title, Finally found it when searching for movie that I want to watch.

Quite intrigue when I see the FL, so pampered yet suddenly she like got surprises when after married she live like a normal person. But I really adored Oriyama Karin for not complaining her situation at all. Yeah she explode only once the day after married & make Tsuruki Nao realize how pampered she actually is. But after that not once she complaining, she walk on with her life like nothing really changing. And her word about what's wrong falling in love with someone base on their look really crack me up... Yeah we sometimes so hypocritical when we like someone only because of their look, but isn't we usually fall on someone based on their look, then we go forward to their personality, etc...

Quite confusing with Karin's dad actually. Why he must put Karin & Nao in that ordinary house? Is it request from Nao or what...? I think at first her dad really gonna just let Karin & Nao live with their own life, not care for Karin anymore, just some allowance (that 100,000 yen). But turn out no, he still care & want to involved in her daughter life. So why he must put Karin & Nao in that ordinary house? And what about the predecessor...? Who is he, what his connection to Nao...? And above all why must NAO become his son in law...?

Overall this really one unique movie with unique character that worth ur time to watch.

What's the meaning of waiting

Watch this for 2022 Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge. In the end I quite enjoy the show.

I think like mostly people who wrote the review here, I also find this drama quite predictable, cliché & nothing too special & quite frankly a huge plot holes. But actually this drama still can give us quite a surprise in the end. Let's talk drama!

What I can predict:
* The villain behind the Gu An Xin (AX) sufferings all that year. But unfortunately until the end they never really discus the main reason why she did it. But my guess is money, AX's dad quite loaded overall.
* The story happen too fast. And if story happen too fast in the beginning only one meaning. Our main lead will suffer in the end. Haha....

What surprise:
* The villain behind Ling's family. Never expected him to be a bad guy. But yeah I can imagine being in his shoes & but still it doesn't justify what he did.

Plot holes:
Well not really plot holes actually. Maybe more like unfinished business or question they still left behind.
- Like I wrote earlier. The reason of the villain behind the Gu An Xin (AX) sufferings all that year.
- Ling Yue is adopted child or not. There're some hint. But never really clear of is it yes or not. If yes what his story then... Why his dad need to adopted him...?

The minus:
- Too much story involve. They don't really finished the exist plot but instead they must added with the story involving Ling's family. What I mean? Well it's gonna be better if they finished the story of AX & LY that I already wrote earlier.
- Too much couple. Well I like when they have found their match, but this just like pushing the forcing button, where they think everyone must have couple to be complete.
- Break up that doesn't really makes sense. Well when AX & LY break up for the very short time, the reason behind it doesn't really quite makes sense & the reason for their reunification even make more nonsense. LOVE of course what else. See the separation, for me, only to added more duration.

The plus:
+ The chemistry between our couple quite fit. Quite like the interaction between Zhao Lu Si & Lie Te.
+ The logical LY. Even though he cold, over bearing boss. But he still listen to AX complain when she protest about how LY arrange everything for her.
+ Even though too much couple, but everyone partner also quite fit with themselves.

Overall apart from all the minus and plot holes this actually quite enjoyable drama. That's why I still give it 7* rating

Continuing story

The most interesting character from Untamed from me is Wen Ning (WN). That's why I decided to watch this movie.

The story is much more make sense than the untamed for me. But the ending quite disappointed for me. Why when Xiao Yi (XY) already got 'forgiveness' from Xiao Qing, must Lan Si Zhui (SZ) slam him again, that makes WN give him such punishment. The punishment itself maybe quite make sense, I just don't like the way SZ put XY down like that....

Quite like to see the interaction between Wen Ning & Lan Si Zhui, feel they kinda grow up from the untamed time, not so childish or naive again... But however we still can see they still our beloved character form the untamed

Overall this just another adventure for Wen Ning & Lan Si Zhui

made with good intentions with a lot of but

Watch this because I mistake our FL with Guan Xiao Tong, she's really similar with her. But in the end i quite enjoy watching this drama.

This drama made with very good intention, to make woman appreciate herself no matter what her body size. But the plot overall quite messy. Agree with jonjees, you really need not to look the loopholes in the plot to survive or complete this series.

The minus:
- The bad guy half baked. Like I mean what happen with Gao Quan, he just suddenly capture like that. Rebecca suddenly just change her heart. & lastly also Ni Hao just finished like that...
- the play of cat & mouse, how both our woman (Zhen Yuan Yuan (Eva) & Luo Yi Ren (YR)) really like to play cat & mouse with their partner.
- Once more they swept away the fear so easy. I mean the Xiao Nan (XN) fear of heigh can be cure be just like that. Especially if like XN himself said it's trauma. I don't think trauma or fear can that easily be cured....
- The man not respect the woman opinion. Like when Eva said to Ruan Dong Shen (DS) that she need space to turn herself back to thin body. Yeah I know you can argue he mean well, that no matter what she become he will stay by herself. But please that woman already tell you her opinion, please at least respect her for it.
- Some feel happen a little too sudden or fast. Like the way Eva accept her balloon illness and suddenly ready to tell the world about it.
- The unfortunate ending. Really like when Eva finally accept herself by telling the world that she really has that balloon illness. But the scene at the spa proof one more that she still care about her image. 大姐 you already tell the world about you can become fat, and you already accept the fat you, but in the end you still afraid about seeing with your big body. Aiyo.... Really hope that scene does not exist, or maybe even better if they show us that in the end Eva really don't care that she can be fat and keep drink that juice.
- Not clear how or what feeling Eva has to feel to heal DS tasting senses. Unfortunately from the very beginning there's no clear reason for how to heal DS tasting sense. Like what feel that make DS can taste sweet, salt, or any other sense, we just know like always jealousy taste sour. It will be very good if they make it more clear what feeling heal what taste. And in the end is all DS tasting senses heal or not also not clear, and about his intention to restore his dad cooking till the end also no result. Like the writer completely forget about that part of story.

Well all the drama also have plus point:
+ The positive intention that every one must love themselves.
+ The love that DX has for Eva. He loves her no matter what her body size.
+ Tell the story what will someone do if they know their life is about to end. I mean for YR. When she thinks she got diagnosed with death illness she completely change herself. & funnily after she learn that she mistaken about her illness, that when all the shame coming to her... Hehe...
+ The friendship between Eva & SN. One more proof to the world friendship between man & woman do exist.

Overall the message this drama want to tell us really good. But unfortunately it's poorly writen....

ordinary life

One drama that really picturing the ordinary life of police station. We often got police drama that at the end all talk about that 1 big case & the story toward or surrounding that big case. But not this drama, this drama really give us about what police have to deal or sometimes endure in their daily routine.

The good thing about this drama:
+ we can see what the struggle police have to deal with people or politic.
+ no love interest between our cast, although we already see a little bit spark between Li Da Wei (DW) & Xia Jie (XJ) at the end.
+ Police still human, at the end they have their family issue or pride play the part.

The bad, that truthfully quite make me bored at the beginning:
- Too many ordinary and little case
- No love interest. Hehe... At the end I'm still one big romance girl, I kinda hope they starting the spark bigger.
- XJ's mom almost make me stop watching. Almost can't bear her being so annoying.
- Once again with the bad side being in Asia Family, where u can really feel what 'blood is ticker than water' have truly meaning. Like DW's dad being that bad, but in the end his mom still want to connect him with his dad with the word 'he is your father'.

Overall this is good drama to represent police forces in my opinion. I heard they already plan for season 2. Don't know will I watch the season 2 or not.

many magical thing happen here

Waiting for that OG drama to be finished decided to watch this, another seven tan drama. This drama surpass my expectation, I really having fun watch this drama.

Ok many magical thing happen here, magical & sometimes quite funny but sometimes just plainly ridiculous just for the sake of funny scene or just old trope or the most ridiculous just to make our actress & actor still good looking.. hoho... Let me explain in below.

Here the list:
* The most ridiculous magical thing that happen through out the drama is..... all of our swimmer cast hair almost always still intact & dry after just come out of the swimming pool... They come out of the swimming pool, put on their training uniform & the hair is dry.,... Especially Qi Rui Feng (RF), sometimes his hair even already gel ready. Magic right... hahaha...
* in ep 9 when Yun Duo (YD) have to sleep in boys dorm for the night, Tang Yi Bai (YB) & RF have to sleep in another room, ok that makes sense, the one that doesn't makes sense is to let 2 boys sleep in the 1 bed together, while it's the fact that they have BUNK BED & the upside of the bed is empty.... Hahaha... They do that just for the funny & old trope in the morning....
* most the friendship have trouble just for the sake of opposite sex, like YD & Cheng Mei (CM) have problem just because Lin Zi or Ou Yang Heng & YB just because Lin Sang & the problem relatively easy to solved, especially between YD & CM, if what CM do to YD happen to me I'll not gonna so easy forgive CM no matter how close I am to CM, how can I trust her ever again...
* The just wake up Lin Sang, after coma for 4 year, can just casually walk around, even until YD office, but in the next scene we see she must using wheel chair & must train her body too...

What I like:
+ I really like how instantly YD & YB fall in love in here. From the first scene they eyes already tell us love & admiration. Tan Song Yun & Xiong Zi Qi chemistry quite fit, I can imagine they as a couple.
+ I really like our second couple. RF & Xiang Yang Yang is one funny couple. They are the classic couple, tease each other but also the best supporter & protector for each other
+ the quote: many thing would become better with the time, but only regrets won't be disappear with time
+ YB mom is so funny, but unfortunately she disappear in the some last episode... :(
+ Tan Song Yun costume quite cute & pretty. I sometimes not notice the costume that our cast wear through out the drama, but here her dress quite catch my attention.

Overall I quite happy to find this drama. Sometimes old drama is better than new one. :p
