yang yang can't help

OMG i can't count how many times do i build up the interest to watch this drama since this yang yang drama. But even yang yang can't help me getting interest with this drama. Especially when i know in the end yang yang will gonna died.

Why i don't like...? Hm.... i don't know. But i try to watch & the story really can't pick up my interest. The main actress is not so beautiful & her expression kinda dull for me. Sorry don't judge me, i still like to see beautiful face in my drama.

Since now so many more interesting drama that i want to watch i don't think i ever look back to this drama.

Fill with small and big spoilers. So read at your own risk!

Xu Kai and Seven Tan of course here I came…. So far this is one the best mature business romance dramas this year. Mature ML & FL make the drama not so dramatic and problematic. But still it has unnecessary understanding & prolonged episodes… Haha…

Ok. Let’s talk about drama….

Story about Ji Xing (JX) & Han Ting (HT), university friends that separated & meet up later on. HT had feelings for JX since university days, but they were just acquaintances. On the day of their separation, HT had to go to Germany for study. He tried to reach out to JX to tell her about his situation, but because of the unfortunate turn of events, JX’s phone had been stolen so she never gets the info & always thinks HT just goes without saying goodbye.

Now, many years later, HT met JX again & all the feelings started to come back or should I say, never actually gone… HT & JX come across in their company, with HT as the investor in the company she works on. But like MDL told us, JX who was frustrated with unfair treatment in the company she works on decided to quit her job & start her own company together with her junior, Su Zhi Zhou. After circling around to look for investors for her company, JX finally accepted HT's offer to invest in her company.

Now, as usual, typical ML as investor & FL as the one he invests money in… HT teaches or ‘mentoring’ JX closely… And as MDL told us, with HT backing, JX’s entrepreneurial journey begins to gain momentum. And as HT & JX collaborate closely, their professional relationship starts to deepen, and of course in the end romance sparks fly.
But unfortunately even though HT has deep feelings for JX, he still can’t forget his identity as businessman & investor. One thing led to another, eventually that’s what caused misunderstandings between JX & HT. That in the end at one time made JX run away from HT & they broke up. Just to be reunited in the end… Haha…. Ok. That’s pretty much the story about JX & HT.

Now, the other side story…

JX has 3 best friends, Li Li, Tu Xiao Meng (XM) & Wei Qiu Zi (QZ). But in the drama it’s more about 2 of them, Lili & XM. Cause you can say QZ love story not crossed with HT & JX story.

1st Wei Qiu Zi (QZ). When JX separated from HT, she had a boyfriend, Shao Yi Chen (YC). When JX was about to start her company YC really saw the differences that cannot be crossed between JX & himself, so YC just broke up with JX. QZ, who turned out had long feelings for YC, began chasing & finally they ended up being together.

2nd Tu Xiao Meng (XM). XM is an online influencer & JX’s roommate. Lu Lin Jia (LJ) originally didn’t like XM, due to her bickering with LJ idol. But when they get closer, LJ finds out XM has her own charm & starts to fall for her. XM that thinks LJ as one of her friends never really thinks more about LJ as a man. But time goes by and so the friendship becomes closer & the feelings start to spark too… With the help of LJ’s mom, they finally end up together.

3rd Li Li. Lili is one of the top sales marketers. But because of one problem, she quit her job & later she decided to join JX’s company as their sales director. Su Zhi Zhou (ZZ) long admired Lili, but Lili is in a relationship with Xiao Yi Xiao (YX) & Lili thinks ZZ is still quite immature. So their relationship bloomed late.

Ok. That’s pretty much the story. Now let’s talk about what I like and don’t.

What I like:
+ The mature JX & HT. Although there’s some misunderstanding about HT’s intention for JX’s company, in the end JX understands about HT’s real intention for her company.
+ The communication between JX & HT. Once again, although there’s some misunderstanding between JX & HT, I really like how in the end JX communicates what she dislikes about HT’s behavior & intention. And how HT starts to fix what he lacks…
+ The growth of JX. We can watch how JX blooms to amazing women on our screen.
+ The growth of ZZ. At the beginning of the drama, ZZ was indeed not so ‘mature’, but when he took care of the business & when JX left he started his own maturity & till the end proved that he can be relied on.
+ Lili is a complex yet interesting woman. I really adore her when she can cut loose YX & later just treat him as a fellow businessman. She knows what she wants & she grabs it fully with her heart. & she proves herself as a worthy companion & true friend for JX.
+ Xiao Yi Xiao (YX). XY adores Lili & wants to be with her. But he is also a mature man that knows what he wants & not. & I really like him when he dares to tell Lili the truth about what he wants for their relationship.
+ Lu Lin Jia (LJ) is a childish man. But when he set his heart to the right place he bloomed & became a man that knew his responsibility. I love his relationship with his mom. His mom is also one adorable mom…
+ Shao Yi Chen (YC). Oh I adore him when he can let go of his ego, feeling & decided to break up with JX. He knows JX is not fit for his future & aside from how long his relationship & his own feelings with JX he dares to break up, that’s really adorable…
+ Wei Qiu Zi. She’s one good friend. Although she’s long crush on YC, she never really acts on it. Until YC & JX broke up. Although I’m sure many condemn her behavior. But for me, when you have a long crush (serious crush not just puppy love or admiration) with your best friend boyfriend & can wait calmly and not act anything harmful to your friend or their relationship. That’s something you have to admire.
+ Tang Song (TS) [Han Ting's assistant]. Oh this one very capable assistant. Not many in dramas have I seen an assistant as capable as TS. Usually, it’s either become friendly with ML or they just simply never told us the story. The assistant is sometimes just like an unimportant character in the background.

What I don’t like:
- JX is a childish woman sometimes. She ‘eats’ fully what Zeng Di (ZD) said & not trust HT in the end. But yeah I understand the manipulation that ZD did.
- ZD. UGH…. I hate that woman. She is one stupid woman that doesn't want to let her ambition & feelings for HT. She can’t even see one nice guy in front of her, although he already gives her his real intention.

Overall this is really one good business romance drama with many interesting characters to be told…

One trashy short drama

Long time not watch short drama that so trash like this. Find it on the feed & watch it for my mini series Challenge.

This like collection video shoot for tik-tok, where i think the uploader not upload completely, or at least the one that I've watch. So yeah it's like missing a few chunk of the story or video to make some scene make sense. Like why the ML suddenly decided to give distance to FL, why he suddenly collapse... The one that I've watch have no explanation about it. And the moment they fall in love also feel abupt & no special moment.

So yeah if you need this to complete the challenge like myself you may watch it. If not just moving on & find other better short drama

Not too interested watching this. But a few pitching from YouTube makes me want to watch this. So here I am finished watch this drama. As expected this drama not really my cup of tea, but this drama quite makes sense & Liang Shao Xue & Tian Yong is just so cute, they're the one that actually make me hang till the end.

Make sense logic:
+ The first thing that makes me very berry happy is they use English when they meet foreigner.... They not make the foreigner speak Chinese fluently, but as happen in the real life they must use English to communicate instead.
+ Liang Mu Ze (MZ) & Xia Chu (XC) not just jumping into relationships when they realize they like each other. Many thing must be considered, especially regarding MZ job as military man.
+ One woman that really hard to understand is Xiao Xiao. She's like a backstabber & selfish b*tch that willing to do anything to safe herself. But that's a reality of life isn't it. Sometimes drama make the story so beautiful, that FL/ML have all the friend in the work that seem willing to do anything for them. But in real life sometimes friend at work not your friend, they just colleagues that will safe themselves if necessary. And that not always mean they the bad friend or bad people.
+ I really want to change the ending for Tian Yong (TY). But once again that's life. We can't always save everyone. And sometimes that bitter pill we need to swallow.

what I like:
+ Liang Shao Xue (SX) & TY is just a cute couple. Like how they complete each other, the hyperactive SX & the quiet TY. We can see how they kinda influence each other, how TY make SX more calm & mature & SX kinda make TY more open. TY also make SX understand the sacrifice that her dad must do.
+ Johnny Huang & Li Qin quite a cute couple. I quite like their chemisty. Really like how cute MZ kinda protect XC from his mom after they together.
+ The friendship between XC & Mi Gu (MG). That's one tight & true friendship with all the support they need & have. Even beyond man, no man can break their relationship as 'sister'

The minus:
- The idealist that we gonna recognize the boy or girl that we like after that long year of separation & not meet or have their picture. Haha... I mean the first time Zhuo Ran (ZR) & XC meet again after high school, they immediately just recognize each other. How...? Yeah I know sometimes we don't change much, but that kind recognition is kinda weird & 'magical'. Haha...
- XC too idealis as a doctor, but at the same time she also use too much feeling for her patient sometimes. Like with the lung transplant girl (I forgot her name).
- The weird rejection from XC's dad toward MZ and the weird behavior from XC's dad overall. We never really got the explanation about XC's dad weird behavior, all the paranoia regarding his research, and more over why Lao Ye (the drug lord) need his research in the first place. Also the reason for his rejection regarding MZ & XC relationship, is it because ZR kinda whisper bad thing about MZ or just cause the MZ job itself....?
- The stupid slave love that MG has for ZR. She know for sure ZR has feeling for XC but still hang to that feeling, even let ZR played her several times. Although I kinda happy how in the end she still use her head to make a decision instead just use her heart.
- Sometimes the scene not make sense. Kinda like there something in the middle but they cut it in post production. Like when MZ suddenly get worse after his operation. Or like how sudden MG change her thought regarding ZR. Yeah I know they explained later on, but still kinda missing something in the middle.
- The weirdest and no reason to go for MZ & XC in the first place...

Overall this mature drama, that not filled with the angst but mature thing & some scene regarding military....

many plot holes

I love this drama, but for me this drama has a little too many plot holes that make me have to lower the score. I can't bring it to the 7⭐️, so I settle with 6.5⭐️. A little warning! I'll gonna write a spoiler. If you don't wanna know just skip reading my review then.








The good point:
+ Lu Wan Wan (WW) & Han Jing Mo (JM) is a cute couple. Really love how JM stand up for WW, especially the confessing scene in the award ceremony, that's a lot of balls to pull to make such announcement at the big event, even bolder that he do it before consulting with his agent.
+ JM openness to WW's parent. Really admire him when he admits that he rather lose than cheating the chess game.

The plot holes:
- The confession scene between WW & JM feel like anti climatic. It just happen like that, like nothing important.
- The reveling of JM as Mo Bai Zhi Jian also feel like something amiss
- The difference in JM character. At first JM is like a little boy that really like to annoy the girl that he likes, but suddenly after he gets jealous he change to just a protector of WW.
- The weird connection to their childhood. Why not make it something bigger or more important, like JM look for this girl & so happy to find out that it's turn out to be WW. If don't want why don't just erase it at all. The childhood story feel like just a flash & unimportant part.
- Zhao Jing Hang (JH) feeling toward WW is never really clear. Is it love or is it just sibling love...? They always said it's only sibling love, but when WW & JM finally together we can see how sad JH is.
- JH & Guan Yi Wei relationship in the end is also never clear. I know they not the main focus, but is the relationship finally bloom or not we get the final result.
- The weird relationship between Lu Guang Han (GH) & Xia Lin Xi, they suddenly together without warning...
- The weird relationship between GH & Gu Qiao Bei (QB). If I must put a word into this it feels like GH is a weird stalker of QB. I never saw a man that more insist into recruit new actor to his firm as much as GH want to recruit QB. At one time GH make me feel like he's not only try to recruit QB as his actor but more of he tries to chase QB as his boyfriend. Haha...
- Is WW still a student or not...? I think she already graduate cause she never go into class or give clue that at least she's not graduate yet, but a little conversation from Zhao Jing Hang (JH) or Lu Guang Han (GH) (i forget who said it) indicate otherwise. I think she's not graduate yet, so why not she's in school...? Or if she only need to practice why don't we at least get to see the graduate scene in the end? Does she drop it in the end...? Very not clear.

Overall this actually quite good drama, with comedy & romance. But nothing feel amiss if you don't watch it...

Ending part

Last part of the story where we get to see where it will end. Will it happy ending, which mean FL can grow old with ML & when she died she return to real life or sad ending where she need to leave....?

Btw I'm gonna wrote spoiler, a little big, if you don't wanna know just skip reading my review then.

In this part we see how lovely Yian Yi Yi (YY) life in the palace. How YY & Qin Yu (QY) begin their life as a couple. And also at the end we get a glimpse of what a life without YY in the picture. What do you mean, you ask...? Haha... This kinda big spoiler so I'm not gonna wrote here. If you want to know just watch it yourself, or just read the end of my review. Haha...

In this part finally we can also see what the effect & consequences for YY to stay in the story world, especially to QY. Really interesting we can see turn out when real person (YY) comes to story world, there're consequences for the character in the story world itself not only for the YY herself.

Overall this one good complete short story, where when you compile every part/season from 1 to 3 its only about 6 hour. Given take with 45 Min duration it's about 8 ep or 30 min duration it's about 12 ep. Lower the star cause I hate when MDL or the writer just separate the drama like this....

The spoiler!!!!! Read with your own risk:











What become questionable when the book officer just turn everything around in the end to make every character forget about YY & just erased her presence in the story. The question is: Why don't he just did that from the start...? Why must he let everything happen from the beginning... Haha... That's what I mean when I wrote we get a glimpse of what a life without YY in the picture.

One of the most complicated conspiracy

OMG I don't know what to say about this drama. This drama definitely one of the most complicated conspiracy & misunderstanding in the drama world. Everything unrevealed in the last episode that make ur heart ache for all the misunderstanding that happen between our couple, Shen Miao (MM) & Pei Yan Zhen (YZ).

I definitely more like Riley Wang in here. Haha... His bad vibe really match him, or maybe he's more suit play the bad guy then the main lead in the drama. Haha... Sorry for all his fans.... But he's definitely have more expression than his usual character, maybe that's why I more like him here. Haha...

Definitely must give trophy to Song Xi Yuan, never really expected his scheme is that bad & complicated. I don't know must understand what he did or must cursing for what he did to MM. But this is also definitely the most pity character that Xing Zhao Lin ever acted, that I've ever watched. How many times I want to stop watch this drama, due to I can't take it anymore watching what happen to YZ. But in the end I must know what scheme that cover all of that....

If you want to watch something complicated, have hidden meaning in every episode. This definitely something you want to watch. But if you hoping to find usual light hearted rom-com, this definitely something you want to get away from. But in the end I really quite enjoy the drama....

Friendship & life decision

Hesitate to watch this, but fortunately I've watch this. Because this year, this is one of the best drama I've watch. & one of the drama that make me hard to let go. I just want to repeatedly watch the ending over & over....

OK let's discuss the drama. This drama about friendship & life decision. Friendship not only between our 5 friends, but also about their family.

The plus:
+ The friendship between our character is really real. Especially between Shao Xue (SX) & Zhang Qi (ZQ) and also with Lin Shi Yin (SY). Although their friendship not really smooth without rock, but in the end they still friend to the end.
+ ZQ really one true gentlemen. He is one of the few SML that make me have second lead syndrome. Although he love SX, he never forced or even try to win her love, he knows for sure who her love for and respect her feeling. So he just walks that hard path to become her best friend & witness how SX & Zheng Su Nian (SN) relationship bloom.
+ Sometimes you can't forced the relationship, no matter how much you love your partner. Like Wu Huan (WH) & SY or Bai Yun Sheng & his girlfriend. Quite sad for WH & SY, but I have a bet to myself will their relationship nailed it or not. Maybe if they are the main couple the story will gonna be different. But I like when they decided to break WH & SY apart. Yeah when the relationship rolled, we can sense how much the other party fit to our life or future. In my opinion WH & SY from the first step already took the different path, just time will decide to break them apart.

The minus:
- You can't fool your age. Haha... Of course I'm talking about Yukee Chen & Yan Zi Dong, but especially Yukee Chen. Although her behavior quite OK as a teenage girl, but often I can see the wrinkle & her face feature overall just too old to play as teenage girl. Sometimes that quite bothered me.
- Sometimes the friendship just partial to our FL. Like when SY become gloom when she broke up with WH, SX not even bothered to ask, she just heavily deep with her problem with SN. Best friend talk about both side, the writer just too focus about SX feeling & kinda neglected SY feeling.
- I don't know to put it into the bad or good thing, but I lean toward the bad thing so yeah I put it here then. The decision that SN take when he break up with SX. In my opinion it's unnecessary break up. Because just like ZQ said, "let go not break up." & like SN said what the different...? For me the difference kinda a lot. If he just let go, that mean SX still will contact him & they will have long distance relationship. If break up yeah happen exactly just like in this drama.

Overall this is one a good youth drama.

Wanting to watch something lighter i decided to watch this drama after see the trailer about teacher changing the perception of everybody about the bad students. Long time not find this kind 'GTO' drama. Really happy this time the teacher is women not man, because usually (the one that i know) this kind of drama the teacher is man.

This drama is so light & funny, but also fill with a lot of problem that we can really relate on. Every bad student usually have heavy problem at home. Here we can see the abusive father, the abandon parent & very strict parent. But of course not all the problem is like what we see at first.

I glad the writer also put physiological problem, in this case of course i talk about Qi Bai. Physiological problem sometimes is a very taboo problem to talk about.

But of course every drama have lack or plot holes. In here i think every problem solved a little bit too quickly. It's like every parent is just obediently listen to Mo Mo & their child. Yeah i know every parent want the best for their chil, but sometimes changing old people though is not that easy, especially if that for 'the good' of their child. The problem of feng bai & momo also resolved too quickly, just by one kiss & everything ok... Haia.... After that big misunderstanding just one kiss & everything ok... Not even need to explained anything... :(

I really hope they have like second season or maybe 1 more episode about they dig the time capsule or maybe the wedding of feng bai & momo... ^_^

Never expected i'll gonna like this drama. But this drama have all the aspect to be like. Like all the character here. From the main lead, second lead until the antagonist. For the story itself yeah still ok.

Ren Jialun played as Lu Yi (LY) is so perfect. Even though he have like sour face for almost the entire drama, but i really feel his face even though sour but still likeable ^_^. His sour face can't make us hate or make our eyebrow flinch with not like :p. I really like the changing in his character. From really cold & strict to the book, he even not slightly soft with Yuan Jin Xia (JX) who is he know is a girl, to became soft and approachable, especially when he with JX we can see the face became so much softer. I also like how the writer show us LY struggle in the last episode where he have to protect JX but at the same time he didn't want to hurt JX.

This is the second time i watch Seven Tan, i really like her, will gonna see her other drama. I like her character JX, she is goofy, tomboy but also sensitive & a little bit sly sometimes ^_^. Like when she want to trick Lin Ling to treat LY with the gun.

Like ChineseDramaFan i also rarely to like an antagonist. The character Yan Shi Fan (SF) played by Han Dong is perfect. Even though he so vicious but somehow he didn't make me hate him like other antagonist character. SF himself really arrogant to the core, even until the last where LY arrest him, he still not show regret or fear, not even just a little bit.

The only one i really can't stand in this drama is the water scene. Oh that water scene really hurt my eyes. So so bad.... The other still ok.

Really exited with this drama when it came out. Of course like most of the fans here, exited because of Ju Jing Yi and Zhang Zhe Han meet again together in the drama. But after watching & read some of the review here, I have to agreed with them. This drama have many plot holes that make our eyebrow rise. But is that make this drama bad....? I don't think so. For me this drama still good enough to watch, apart from the cast.

Plot holes that makes me wonder:
* They already have interesting plot by using dream. But why they are not develop it more. It just like piece in here & there.
* Xu Ping / Prince An (XP) motive very bad. Yeah he just make conclusion about who killed his mom without even make confirmation or at least try to know the truth. And the way he protect Fu Rong (FR) is really questionable. He wants to protect her but in the same time he put FR in the 'lion den' (Xu Jin/Prince Su (XJ) house) by letting them get married. He want to make FR free by letting her get buried with XJ and than rescued her...??? What the hell... Where is his logic...?? All over the place....!!!
* The reason to choose Cui Wan [Princess of Xihe] to be political bride never been explained.
* The stupid way of how FR actually come to life or heal after get poisoned in ep 40.
* Of course the biggest question of all: Why the need for modern time...? They have happy ending in ancient time, why make the modern time...? Is it preview for the second season or what...? Who have answer please please please write in the comment, i really want to know...

What i like:
* The plot where the prince try to killed each other is not about just because struggle for the Crown Prince, but other factor. Usually the writer just develop about the struggle for the crown prince. But here, because of greed & revenge. Very interesting to see even though Prince Cheng and Consort Duan already in the palace with all the money in the world, they still very greed.
* Of course the chemistry between Ju Jing Yi and Zhang Zhe Han. They have more chemistry here than in legend of Yun Xi. Love how Zhang Zhe Han in here smile more than in legend of Yun Xi.
* How the second lead couple interact with each other. I also think Fu Xuan (FX) & Wu Bai Qi (WBQ) more adorable than FR & XJ. How WBQ like to tease FX but also how he protect her. But also frustrated why he doesn't propose her, even after they relationship became better.

Overall: Yeah the fans of Ju Jing Yi and Zhang Zhe Han should watch this, especially if you the fans of legend of Yun Xi, it like a little bit closure for they story. Apart from all the plot holes, this drama still good a drama to watch. But for me this drama is not for re-watch, one time is enough for me.

Another cliffhanger :(

Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!! Another cliffhanger... :( :( :(

Finally after i find chinese sherlock why must this be a cliffhanger... I think this was what sherlock fans feel at his time when the author suddenly stop wrote sherlock with the cliffhanger of his & moriarty death. Really wish there will be season 2 in the future...

Give 3 star for the story due to the cliffhanger. Will be changing my star after the season 2 announced.

Really like the story with watson as the woman. Love Xiao Man (XM) & Ben Jia Min as Luo Fei (LF) friends & helper. Quite surprised watch Johnny Bai act as LF, he really give the vibe of sherlock perfectly.

Love every aspect of this movie. Please give me update for anyone who have news of season 2 of this drama...

I watched this because of Zhao Li Ying. Watched this feel quite interesting actually. This drama for me listed as easy to watch & funny drama. But read several review write here quite make sense... ^_^

Several reviewer write the plot kinda jumping from problem to problem, when i think about it... Yeah agree with them. But really only Zhao Li Ying drag the entire drama together...? I can't say so...

I really like they give other couple relationship even though I feel there is some couple that been forced together. Like Ning Wei Kai (NWK) and Grace. I really feel they just forced and drag to be together. Yeah NWK been in love with grace the entire drama, and we loved to watched them being together in the end, but still feel forced just because NWK loved her from the beginning.

Gu Yan Zhi and Li Jin Yuan relationship just wait for them to be together. But i really loved how in the end Chen Zheng chose Chen Ya Yi as his couple. ^_^

As Lin Qian and Li Zhi Cheng themselves being too fast to be together? Yeah maybe a little bit too fast. But love how they support each other.

Overall: One of the best drama? Of course not. But is it worth to be watch? Yes I think for you who look just easy to watch drama, this drama is still worth to be watch.

Re-watch: Love to re-watch several scene.
