Smile, laugh, cry, smile, laugh, cry...it's a bitter sweet romance and friendship!

I just finish the entire series through VIP and express watching. I'm entangled with the story and the strong chemistry between every characters and couple in this drama.
Esther Yu and Xu Kai.. wow I can't describe how I amaze with their acting and strong chemistry as a lovely sibling and lover. I feel they bring me go inside the adventure and feel the same way as their feel.
Seriously.. I never laugh and cry this much when watching a fantasy drama.

At first.. they will bring you to sweet and cute siblings feeling.. then it's started to be secret love... and changed to be mutual and destinied couple. I can't express how much I love the story and them.
Although it's hard to understand the plot because it's very fantasy.. and about time travel... but somehow you will surely understand that everything in the plot was happened for a reason.

Starting from several episodes before the ending... get ready to non stop crying... I can't handle how I'm sobbing so hard.. I can feel every sorrow that every characters bring... wheather it's death, separation, broken hearted, sacrificing or even forcing a smile... I actually crying and questioning why should be like this or that. It's tragic. It's bitter... and... it's very dramatic.

I kinda understand the ending since it's actually the same with the game version of this drama. However.. I'm a bit questioning what will be happen next.. with Qi and Jin Zhao. since it's an open ending.
It might not be a perfect ending.. but the plot and the end are totally great.

I'm glad that Qi and Ji Zhao are alive eventhough as a new soul and forget everything behind. But they are still connected through a strong familiar feeling towards each other.. and their couple jade. I really hope there will be extra ending like how we can seeing them hug or remember each other. If they make this kind of ending maybe I will give 100 score for the story hehe...

I'm impress with other supporting characters that portray their character and feeling so well.
Moreover.. I totally in love with the ost songs from this drama. The visual editing may not be perfect but the acting.. totally 100.. especially for Esther Yu as cute yet strong girl, and Xukai that brave, caring, yet so mellow guy... as he is playing 2 different characters. I think this drama deserve many awards.

I probably rewatch some cute scenes and their behind the scenes too. I'm looking forward for Esther and Xukai reunion in another drama!! Pleaseeeee God...
I hope everyone will enjoy this drama like me. ^^

Time traveling to save the one you love!

I just watch the entire series and I'm glad to finish it in half day.. that's how each episode make me curious and can't stop to continue.

I never watch the Korean version of Blue Birthday, but I think the Japanese version is good and capturing my heart.

The story give us a roller coaster ride, and full of mystery.. I like the way it make me confuse about what's the hell is going on, and there's some plot twist that unexpectedly happened.

I love the cinematography.. and the warm tone color effect whenever the story is back to the past.

This drama truly bring the consistent message.. where a young and naive couple.. have a strong desire to protect each other.

it's about first love, friendship, and family. I even cry for some scenes.

Shion (JO1) is still new.. he looks handsome and charming.. but his acting may need improvement.. For example when Jun was heartbroken and should be cry crazily when he lose Karin.
I think his acting just ok.. and not really bring the heartbreaking emotion. At this scene.. he should put more emotions like sadness, regret and anger at the same time.. so the audience can feel the real emotion on it. Also, I think he is very weak if we compare with Karin whenever they meet any threatened situation.

However, I believe he will become a great actor if he get more chances to act in any other drama. I love JO1 and the drama ost "Romance" is totally perfect! This drama surely will make my eyes look at Shion.. next time if I watch JO1 MV.

Airi is very cute and beautiful actress. She is really suitable with Karin role! Her acting is incredibly great and lovely!

Now let's get back to the story.

Karin go back to the past so many times and change everything, and I love the fact that Jun did the same.
Love the plot twist when Jun actually did the time traveling first before Karen. Then, he is also the one that use the last photo.

The romance is very sweet, and adorable during the school moment. It's wrapped perfectly following with their age and situation.
When they meet again in the future, they become a mature couple.. and the romance is a bit hotter.

Don't look for the logical things, because it's a fantasy drama after all.
I love the ending! Eventhough it's not perfect and there's some question marks, but the main couple is finally can be together even after 10 years.. and love the fact Jun choose to be photographer, rather than doctor.. since the drama is about photography club students...

So.. "old photos and mysterious camera" are the main focus here.
It's kinda remind me with a romantic comedy Japanese drama "Proposal Daisakusen" in year 2007. They also go back to the past through the help of old photos.

P.S. there's some hidden trivia at the end of every episode that quite thrilling too.

In the end, there's always be an unexpected consequence if you try to change the fate. But love will conquer the time and space :)

Wait.. I heard there will be sequel of this drama entitled "Best Birthday".
I wish we can see more romantic scenes and more happy ending for Jun and Karin! ;)

It deserves another season for romantic plot!

Honestly I love Honoka Yahagi since Itazura Na Kiss, and find out that she is a very talented young actress. She is also an adorable, humble and has a very kind personality. In short, I'm attracted to watch this drama by watching the trailer, and really hope to see Honoka chan in another romantic comedy drama, especially with Inukai Atsuhiro.. he looks so fine in this drama!

I watch Inukai's previous 2 drama, and it's not really capturing my heart like in this drama. I can tell he has a very good chemistry with all of the cast, especially Honoka chan.

Now let's get back to review this "Hitomon dorama".

I believe it's a great office romantic comedy since its coming from an interesting manga. There are some different in the looks of the characters, but the story is basically show the same plot and message with the manga.
It just the drama were very short in every episode (around 30 mins), so I can feel the story is in a rush and coming with a very dramatic yet very fast solution. In another word, the evil employees becomes good just by strong advice and encouragement / motivation with the smart strategy by the combo Hitomi chan (Honoka) and Sakyo san (Inukai).

I know the genre is focusing on the "office issue" with some of problematic employees and a smart but very tyrant boss. However Sakyo Shiori is not an evil CEO like being described by the synopsis. He just a busy body that hard to trust anybody so he only rely on himselves when its related with work, so that's explain why he didn't really aware what happened between his subordinates inside the company that resulting 100% resignation for new employees (so they are being called as black company).

It becomes interesting when the "black company" that is named "Jet Black" hiring a Human Resources consultant (Hitomi Mamoru) from a popular "Off White" company. It's understable why the author name the main leads' company like that.
The story is basically about Jet black (bad/black company) meet with Off White (angel/ white company).

Then, Hitomi Mamoru that appear as an angelic person getting persuaded by Sakyo to be his consultant. He made her realize about her own motivation to be like her father and get out from her routine as the company's ambassador that usually tell a great story to be a person that make a great story.

I found the story is full of excitement.. and it can be perfect if this drama has more episodes, so the plot will be more details.

The romance is there. It just a slow burned romance.. that we can easily tell that both Sakyo san and Hitomi chan slowly develop "personal feeling" toward each other, but restrain it as they want to keep the professional relationship.

Along the time, Sakyo try to give some hints to Hitomi that he looked at her in a very special way, and how he always looking at her. It just Hitomi can easily deny the feeling.. probably because she always look at herself as unattractive girl (without make up), also to avoid any misunderstanding.

Finally... when they have to bit farewell due to the working contract should be terminated, they are totally restrain their own feeling. 2 months later after that.. again, Sakyo is the one who try to find Hitomi.. and make her realize her value and her motivation again.

I really love how this couple combo to solve every problem in the company.. and how their character is totally completing each other, as a good companion in both career and love.
Unfortunately.. the romance is not showing enough.. they don't even kiss when some situations are already supportive enough to make them do it. At least.. I know that they are in love. But its only developed as a "crush", not a lover yet. So I kinda agree that we deserve for season 2.. especially when the manga is still not ended!

After all.. I definitely rewatch this drama. Despite of less romance, its still showing us about how cute to see the main leads whenever they are together. Especially Sakyo san... a very cold, smart and super confident person like him can be turned into a cute and caring person whenever he's around Hitomi chan.. For example, he is showing his jealously and competitive madness when Hitomi has to deal with her ex, and showing his "tsundere" moments in many scenes around Hitomi chan. He is a very cute yet charming, and totally handsome almost in every scene!

Trust me.. this drama deserve more attention. It's totally a very refreshing drama, and we can relate its story with our daily working life in some situation as well.

I'm rooting for Sakyo san and Hitomi chan to confess their feeling in the next spin off or season 2. *finger crossed* ;)

P.S. I love this drama ost, especially the opening song and dance by the main casts that coming in different lyrics and camera angles in every episode! Salute to the production team creativity!

Real tear jerker, Ill-fated relationship!

I just watch this old dramatic melodrama in 2023.. and I regret to just find out this great drama just now... after 11 years.... I should watch it earlier and join the hive!
First of all.. this drama is very detail, they describe about "rich people", "dream", and "music" in different level.

Love how they use piano as the main focus of the story to represent dreams, and love. The young version of main leads also has a great chemistry.

I love Joo Ji Hoon acting so much!!! He is really a great actor. I love Jin Se Yeon as well.. she is a very young actress, but her acting is suitable to describe the lovely and bright Da Mi. She has a great smile and that's make people getting attracted with her. She is a happy fever for both male leads, and I can feel the first love story has been developed so well.

All characters in this drama are perfect. I can't explain how I amaze with all the casts!

They have a very strong connection with the plot, and successfully can express their own character really well.

It just very sad that Ji Hoo and Da Mi can't be together... because of ill fated relationship between them to have a complicated family background.

No matter what.. the ending is very realistic.. and I'm glad that Ji Hoo finally can get the company back, and leave it to In Ha. At least.. they finally have a peaceful relationship as brother.

I don't expect the ending can be that sad.. but it explains how karma works in life. After all... blood is thicker than water. How the mother express love to In Ha is totally wrong, but sad at the same time.

The plot twist in the ending about Ji Hoo and his mother is also so heartbreaking. That was a great climax that bring the story become more tragic.

I am heartbroken almost in every episode.. and I love how this story make me curious everytime!

I love how the kind people can be bad, and all the bad people can be kind. I can tell everyone has angel and devil in their heart.. they can be angel and devil depends on how they have been treated.
I love the story keep moving forward, and Ji Hoo show his cold and different side when he came back to revenge.

I fall deeply to the main leads. It was a drama with full of ups and downs, love and hate relationship, a perfect way to describe ill fated relationship.
It's a tear jerker.. and I will never forgot how this drama made me feel.

I wish Joo Ji Hoon can play in another romance drama with Jin Se Yeon. I wish they will come back in more romantic scenes.. eventhou I know that they have been playing in another fantasy drama.
I learn that love doesn't always have to own each other. Sometimes.. when you let go of someone you love for the goodness, means you are mature enough to see them happier and move forward even without you.

Fall in love not only with the story, but everything!

I'm gonna say that I'm totally in love with the story, the acting, the character, the CG effects, the wardrobe, the setting and also the songs of this drama!!

I've been waiting for this drama since last year, and my instinct is right.. this is a totally worth watching drama.

This drama shows a significant improvement in both Esther Yu & Dylan Wang's acting. Their chemistry is so good.. in both of on and off screen. Their laugh, their tears and even their eye gazing moments towards each other are totally stunning!

If you love a fairytale.. a xianxia drama, then this must be one of the best dramas in 2022!

I watch both drama (live action) and anime version of "Love Between Fairy and Devil", and both give the same background and vibe of the story and character, however with different progress and plot, but I still love with both of it.

I never read the original novel, but when it's successfuly getting produced to drama and anime, it's probably a masterpiece!

I know that some people will get bias towards the cast, but please don't judge.. just give your time to watch it.. and you'll find the story is very interesting since the beginning. There always be some iconic scenes in every episode, and you can't get enough to see the scene where main characters' slowly develop feeling one to another.

The way Dong Fang Qing Cang protect Xiao Lan Hua is totally romantic and fascinating! I love when his power awaken and his eyes turning blue. I love how he give a cold shoulder to everyone except Xiao Lan Hua, and Dylan Wang is totally suitable to play as the devil that showing cold gaze and killing gaze. Esther Yu is very suitable to be the orchid fairy since her voice is very cute, and she is very energetic and beautiful! She can show a naive and kind character flawlessly, and at the same time turn to be cold when she should be act as
Dong Fang Qing Cang during the body swap.

Now talking about the body swap between main leads itself.. At first, I thought it's gonna be just another body swap drama, but both of Dylan Wang and Esther Yu can represent one another character in a perfect way.. and the story is not focusing on that. There are so many progress in the story.. and I love how the production crew make it very detail...

I love how Dong Fang Qing Cang described as a powerful devil that slowly getting back his emotion bit by bit because of sharing joy and sorrow with a little fairy. I love how he is slowly can get along with the cute and naive fairy that probably will be a stronger character later, and be a very important person that bring the story to a climax later on.

Anyway.. at first I'm kind nervous about how they will have the ending... I keep trying to read some spoilers from weibo. Also.. It gives me addiction! i couldn't stop to rewatch some cute and cool scenes.

P.S. How come all of sound track in this drama are so damn good!!! Every song is totally beautiful.

The ending is a bit rush... but I love DFQC and XLH so much! So I don't care as long as they are happy! Also.. I though there will be a twist, like they're gonna have the body swap again at the end to make a big surprise.. But it turns out to be another sacrifice for love.

The ending is a bit confusing.. whether it's real or just a dream. Well.. I really wish to see them with their happy life in more episodes. Just why.. why.. the screen writter decide to stop there. At least we need 3-4 more episodes to complete the romance between goddess and devil! Ok then, they should comes up with a new season called "Marriage Life Between Goddess and Devil". *finger cross*. I will definitely rewatch this drama again like for 10x more. So addicted with the beautiful story, CG, costumes, make up, casts, songs, and the whole production! *Thumbs up!* *Standing applause*

No wonder this drama is blooming like orchid in the paradise! They have successfully reached the massive numbers of viewers and fans for both actors and drama!

It's about women's dignity, family, friendship & love!

I LOVE this drama and definitely rewatch it! I love all the casts, especially main leads and their acting.

I love how bitter sweet the story had, and those mixed feeling that we got like confuse, excited, anger, sad, happy, heartbroken.. you can get it all from this drama.

The ending is a bit rush, but overall the story successfully make me curious.. and the more episode we watch, the more surprising events happened. The truth is unfolded bit by bit.

I love all of the drama ost, the camera angles, and the scenery in many scenes too.

For those who are expecting steamy romance, of course this drama is not the choice, because this drama's genre is basically about law, mystery and thriller. Romance is not the main genre but you can feel heartwarming scenes from slight romance between younger guy and older women, between student and lecturer, between a defendant and lawyer.

It's not just about admiration toward someone, but also an unconditional love and its fate. I strongly recommend this drama!

This drama also teach us so many meaningful lesson about family, friendship and career.

It will be hard to move on from this drama.. I really wish they can make season 2 with the same cast :)

Housewives like a Golden Fish: being trapped and desperate to be loved

Let me be the first one to give my review to this drama since I've been anticipating this drama a lot.. I'm so excited to see Gun chan finally get a role in a mature drama.. also getting involved in an affair with older woman. I imagine this drama will be too hot to handle, and I guess they give us a super hot scene in episode 1 and episode 8. As the beginning of the secret affair, and in the end of their relationship.

My prediction is right. Gun chan is totally did well.. with his acting, also he looks very handsome, cute, sweet and warm through his role.

Warning! If you are under 18 years old, please do not watch.. because every episode, you'll see some sex scenes with different couple, and not every scene is sweet. It's infidelity everywhere!

Now about the main leads.
I think the most interesting story is about Sakura, Haruto and Takuya. Well.. no one is right since they're having affair.. but I can understand why Sakura get tempted by an angelic Haruto since she's finally getting courage to find her freedom after meet this sweet guy. Besides the couple name is Sakura (a spring flower) and Haru (means Spring) are totally completing each other.

The way this drama make a golden fish as an icon is totally relevant. It's successfuly describe all the house wives situation inside the fishbowl.. and they can't runaway without help. Each of them are desperate to be loved and cared.

I love how this drama can make me be more curious.. I finish watching 8 episode in 1 day.. it's totally worth it.

Get ready to be angry, upset, headache with Takuya as lowly husband.. I can't understand the way he love his wife by getting affair with many women.. like his neighboor, his subordinate, even his friend's wife. Like WTH is wrong with him. And how crazy he try to control his wife until did some domestic violence.

Luckily there is Haruto... a hero in the rainy day... he come at the right moment.. he is offering a warmest hug, sweet smile and extra care... No wonder Sakura fall into his embrace. Besides.. he is young, energetic and ikemen (handsome).. who can resist this temptation?? Lol.

The past story that makes Haruto is kinda obsess with Sakura after they meet again is a little bit make sense, but not that strong enough.. maybe I'm expecting a situation in the past that will be more dramatic and complicated... but this is just a mini series drama..so it's already good enough.

Now let's talk about the ending.
It's an open ending. But I guess there's some clue that showing the main leads (Sakura and Haruto) go back together...
In the last 5 minutes, they show us Haruto stop by in convenience store and grab 1 mineral water (probably for himself) and 1 highball beer (it's Sakura's favorite), and he rush back to his car like gotta leave somewhere. Meanwhile, Sakura is alone in the beach while smiling.. seems like she is waiting for someone.
I assume they're going to meet again after 2 years (as they ever made promise to watch the fireworks there together someday). At least this is the reality that I wish can be happen. Since I'm rooting for this couple so much.

Besides, Sakura finally divorce with her husband, and manage her own salon (reaching her dream). She finally can leave Takuya but still maintain a good relationship. I'm a bit panic for a moment that Sakura will choose Takuya.. Because if I were Sakura.. I will never forgive and get back to the crazy husband eventhough he get his lesson and be better at the end. Standing applause to the drama production because I almost believe that Sakura will choose Takuya over Haruto.. like seriously? But thankfully she still choose to seperate, and be brave to stand alone while chasing her own dream independently.

The ending shows a good ending for others couple too. If you are 18+, I strongly recommend this drama..and you'll love Haruto so much! He is kind and lovable!

Gun chan acting as Haruto is no joke.
Love the main lead couple so much. It's only 8 episodes.. s you can finish it in 1 day.

I will not talk too much about other couple since every couple has their own struggle, and it's quite satisfying result for some of them... and everyone is getting back with their own husband. It's kinda annoy me to see some "fetish" scenes and also how they describe every housewives are not satisfy with their own husband, so they're runaway to find another happiness through a secret affair. However it's totally make sense.. it's realistic.

I hope there will be an extra episode or special movie for Sakura and Haruto.. even just 15 minutes... I wish to see them reunite again and get married, also have kids. Probably Haruto can run his father business and maintain his store as well. He deserve to be rich! LOL.

P.S. I love the drama ost. The song is romantic and so wonderful!

The best jewel in life is love, family & friendship.

At first, I didn't have high expectation looking at the actors in this drama. But it's a very short episode, you can finish it in 1 day.. I try to watch and surprisingly I love the story and the acting.

Both ML & FL are charming. I love how FL seems arrogant and domineering from the outside, but the more you see her, the more you know that she is so lonely and soft.

After knowing what she's been through I can understand why she become that way.

I love the ML the most. He looks cute, but actually very mature and dependable.
The way ML & FL gradually fall in love to each other is very natural... and I feel it's so romantic and adorable. Both ML & FL's profession are totally different yet can be connected. Jewelry and Flower.. what an interesting combination.

I love the office story side as well.. it's not too heavy, but we learn about friendship and loyalty through all the FL's subordinates.

This drama also bring another story about love-hate relationship between brother and sister.. but it's totally make sense.

I'm a bit confuse with the extra ending.
But here I share my assumption.

Since the ML's background is a very kind and warmhearted guy, I feel he is being chosen as an experiment subject by certain party to go to parralel universe or another dimension and meet the FL. That's why he become the main character that has some power to make "changes" in everyone's life, especially FL through his kindness and flowers.

Without realizing it, they have a mission to make the FL heart beat become "zero", that later on we know it can be happen when FL can solve all the misunderstanding with her brother and her father, also at the sametime to find her true love.
The higher or faster heart beat here means the bigger problem that stimulate FL mind to lose control and at some point the more harder for her to come back and wake up in reality.
That way.. the ML has been sent to meet her there so she can dealing with her issues. No wonder only ML has such power to make FL calm and heartbeat can be slowing down.

I just can say the extra ending was made the whole fantasy story to be more realistic. Since we finally know why the FL can has a unique power to see her heartbeat rate.

Well, it's a parallel universe... every impossible can possibly happen. No wonder she is not a normal human there. However, the whole experiment are using both ML & FL's background and memory, that's why they can still remember each other after when they wake up from the "dream". The heartbeat rate become "zero" is like a sign for "mission completed", and the end of the story for both of them in the parallel universe (dream), to make the story over and going back to reality. I guess it's an experiment about "finding love" or "matchmaking project". We will see if there is second season of the story that probably will explain it to all of us.

After all... the drama title conclude the whole story. "The Only You in My World", means the main characters (both FL & ML) that actually still remain to love each other no matter is just happening in a dream or reality.

I don't think the extra ending is not necessary thou since the genre of this drama is fantasy.
But well.. overall I like the story. It successfully teach us about the meaning of love, friendship and family. It was sweet and funny as well!

P.S. Because of this drama, I will be more appreciate flowers and plants starting from now :D

A hot & possesive CEO that being too obsessed with his girl.

The first reason why I want to watch this drama is because I love Emma Wu and her acting since I was young. This drama has an interesting plot. There will be some repeated acts and a bit unecessary scenes that make the story longer, but overall I love the love & hate relationship between main leads.
I love how Ren Hao Ming shown as a domineering and overbearing CEO. He is a tsundere guy, that can be so damn rude and very controlling, impulsive & dominant guy, with a lonely heart. Tian tian is a cute, kind & naive. She love to bickering and she is too unstable about her own emotions, that's why she often create misunderstanding.

The title of this drama is actually more describing about Xiao xiao, the main lead's deseased sister, who also become the beginning of all the trouble between the main leads. I don't see the title is quite relevant for the main leads.

Anyway.. this drama is quite addicting, and I remember that I have re-watch it for 3x. Love the chemistry between the main leads. The ost or music of this drama are good enough.

I will recommend this drama if you are looking for a hot & possesive guy that being too obsessed with his girl. But it's kinda reasonable since he lose his sister and find Tian Tian as her replacement at first, that later on make him learn about love.

There are some critics about this drama, and here I will share my own opinions:
(1) They cut so many intimate scenes (probably it's too affectionate or contain sexual harrassment). Because of some cuts, it's a bit confusing & jumping in some scenes.
(2) They are dubbing all the actors voices. The actors acting are great, and it will be greater if they can express it using their own voices. Too bad it's being dubbed.
(3) Bad choices of wardrobe. Too many repeated or similar wardrobe that being wore by actors, especially main leads. And sometimes, they didn't change their clothes at all. The guy is so damn rich, how come he only has several clothes. And you can see the male lead has bad taste in choosing his clothes, since some looks not elegant & too colorful.
Besides, it's a republican era.. I think the clothes are too modern for some scenes, especially for female lead.
(4) It's an open ending. I wish they will make the continuation for the story, because the ending is a bit ambigous, but seems like there is no chances to see another season since they make another version with different leads.

Never expected I will love XianXia drama after watch this drama!

I found this drama last year and heard many people gave their positive comments about it. I also know this drama is being recommended by many people. But I still hesitate to watch it because it has a very long episodes and it's a XianXia drama. I prefer Wuxia, rather than XianXia that use so many special effects or magical things, like people can fly, disappear, teleport, a life with monsters, dragons, and so on..of course it doesn't make sense in reality. Even 1 person can be shown as powerful with so many ability.
Surprisingly I finally watch it to answer my curiosity and I regret that I just watch it now! I should watch it earlier!!! Let me give you top 5 reasons why you should watch this drama!
1. The chemistry between main leads (it's a bitter sweet romance yet very romantic). They are successfully describe about true love that willing to sacrifice everything for their love. They are loyal and determined, and there is no annoying third wheel.
2. The plot is very interesting, consistent, details (without loop hole of the story) and you can see the development of the story and each character from time to time. It's totally moving.. I don't even skip any part of this drama because every scene is matter. I never get bored eventhough it's 59 eps!
3. Every character is different and they have their own struggle and unique style. You will love supporting actors too, especially Teng She!
4. The title represent the main issue. It's an adventurous drama with many plot twist! I can say there is no right or wrong in each realm. They have their own good reason to protect their own realm.
5. Amazing drama ost (almost every main actors singing this drama ost and the songs are totally wonderful)

Si Feng's unyielding loyalty and love definitely come at the price of his pain. I understand why so many people call him a blood bag.. LOL.. I’m also in panic he will dead because of losing blood in the drama.. However there is always a good reason behind it. The blood spitting happened when he tried his best to protect his lover, friends and family. Also, there is no scene that make me think.. it’s impossible for him to not spitting his blood.. He always get those big attack!
Also enjoy the same excessive frequency of Male lead Blood-Spitting scene and female lead calling “Si Feng” name in every episode. After I finish the drama, Si Feng name go through my head for days. Thanks to Xuan Ji to make the name is keep ringing in our head. LOL. Xuan Ji is successfuly make us hard to move on from Si Feng. Overall.. I'm gonna miss this drama till the stage I'm gonna re-watch it. Every episode is so meaningful with bitter sweet story!

I wish to see the main leads play as couple again in other drama or season 2. But I'm a bit pessimistic after watch the different connection between Cheng Yi and Bing Yan in reality. They look very shy and affectionate with each other in the press conference and the opening show of this drama, but after getting criticized because of too many skinship, they start to avoid each other and you can see how they are trying to ignore each other in the Closing Show event (drama concert) to avoid further gossip. I feel they are losing their connection in real life because of evil comments from many netizen. Hopefully they can stay professional and still want to working together as couple again in upcoming dramas.

Heartbreaking but Destinied Couple!

At first the drama has a very interesting plot.. but for some reasons, it's kinda inconsistent with too many additional characters and unnecessary situations that kinda ruin the focus of the story about the sleepless girl and her secret animal transformation. I wish to see a lot of her transformation scenes but too bad it just some side story. There's a lot of misunderstanding between couple and some reasons are quite silly and make it too draggy. However.. It's getting more interesting in the second half of the drama when the male lead is finally find about the death of his brother that related with the female lead. Trust me..just watch till episode 25 and after (especially episode 29-31).. it's not boring anymore! It's totally make your eyes teary and make your heart broken because of the couple's fate! The drama is getting back to its original interesting plot! It's a plot twist in the later part. I feel excited when they give us some unexpected truths and lies.

The last battle with the main enemy is kinda too easy after a long wait, and tiring attack-escape events in the long run.

I love both main leads acting as well. Their heartbreaking tears really capturing my heart. The female lead is very cute and naughty, but she is not annoying. The male lead is totally admirable.

Overall.. this drama is good.. you just need to skip some unecessary parts, especially in the first half of drama ;)
I'm so glad this drama give us an alternate ending (the special episode). It's very sweet!

Being loved by 4 Charming Boys…

I love this movie! The boys are charming and cute. The girl is so funny and kind!
There are some scenes that actually very similar with the anime versions.

If you love the reverse harem genre, and if you already watch the anime version or read the manga version.. you will like this live action version as well!

If you don't understand otaku world, you will be find yourself hard to love this movie since you can't relate with whatever situtions that happening there.

I love that each boy has their own characters and their own way to show their care to the girl. At the end.. they are fall in love with the girl for who she is.. not because of her look. This drama teach us about how to see the inner beauty and to understand the otaku life. The musical part in the beginning and end of the show are very entertaining and fun. Love it!

P.S. I like the way they end it.. it’s an open ending.. all the boys are stick together to be around her and protect her… so they leave it to the audience imagination about who’s gonna be chosen as boyfriend by female lead in the future.

Too cliche & just another Fairy Tale Story

I don't read the manga version, so I don't know if the movie version is rushing the plot or not. But overall... the story is just so-so. It's kinda like a fairy tale.. I'm kinda confuse because without strong reason and right after some coincidence meeting, suddenly an idol fall in love with the female lead and want her to be his girlfriend..despite the age gap and different background.

The fetish issue that being told in the synopsis about the male lead is only shown a bit in the beginning of story, but then he seems very normal after all.

The girl is too naive but she is still in the high school so it's pretty normal. The plot is just too ordinary like in many others romantic high school movie with triangle love, childhood friend, amusement park date, jealous scene due to a classic set up and artist scandal.

I'm not really impress with the acting as well, but both leads are good looking. The genre is not really rom-com, there is not much comedy.

The issue in the boyband is kinda interesting, but it just another side issue.
The piano story is very cliche. This drama lose its main focus.
By the way, the actor's manager is too damn old. They should choose another young energetic actor to play the role.

Well if you are expecting dreamy plot then this drama is right for you. It just doesn't really make sense to be happen in real life for me.

Love you so deep and waiting for you no matter how long.

My favorite Japanese drama this year!! I love the story.. It's very meaningful and romantic fantasy.
I love the chemistry between Ayano Go and Ishihara Satomi.
Both acting are very excellent! They can laugh while seeding tears, and almost in every episode they make us laugh and cry.
It begins with the competition relationship in the office, and slowly make them realize their fate to love each other deeply and understand each other feeling even without saying it.

The male lead is a tsundere, and the female lead is naive yet very pure and sweet. You will be surprise with the fact of who is she in the second half of the drama. There are some plot twist too to make you surprise.

I love the chaotic situation between the 3 brothers and how they can fix their relationship in very touching way too.

This drama is very simple, but it thought us a lesson to protect the nature, and love the sea as there is so many living creatures in the ocean. It's a successful hidden campaign of global issues due to lots of plastic used in daily life that human throw not in the right places, and even it goes to the sea and give a very bad impacts to its ecosystem and living creatures under it.

The drama ost is not really impress me. However I love the instrument music that they are using during the dramatic and romantic situation. It's brilliant!

I hope there will be another season, or the special movie as the continuation of this drama. I can't get enough to see the love story of 2 couples in this drama.

My heart skip the beat for the romance!

I love the romantic moments between the main couple lead, it’s so hot and passionate.
Li Teng is successfuly become a very mysterious guy at the beginning. He looks fierce, independent and romantic.

But the second couple lead is actually cute and make me want to see more from them too. I’m in love with Li Teng in the first half of the story, but slowly Jiang Hao grab my attention. He is soft hearted and cute like a puppy.. but so addicting to see him "playing hard to get" in romance.

Overall the story is good, more focusing on the romance between the destinied couple.
However it’s more about the romance and there is less action scenes compared to what has been illustrated from drama poster.

Maybe because the episode is only 16 and the duration is only 30 minutes per episode, I feel the plot is a bit rushing and not really show in details about some characters.

I don’t really like the female casts' make up and outfit in several scenes. But it’s a good thing that their acting can cover it up.

Some soft selling of sponsor product (shampoo) scenes are too annoying and too much. Come on! it must be not that obvious to sell the product.

Now is about the enemies character. Too bad that the female antagonist is ended just like that.. I’m expecting more action scenes from her. It’s not really cool to always bring the cross bow wherever she goes.. but she didn’t successfuly deliver a strong women figure through lacking action scenes and just with the same 1 weapon.
The main antagonist Tuo Li is also too cute to be an enemy. His acting is not really that terrifying like psychopath. And.. It’s too easy to defeat him just in 1 last episode.

The incident from 5 years ago is not well described. Luckily the main leads successfuly can deliver the obsession feeling and emotions through some extra scenes.

All the bad guy from the past are dead, and the new enemy is created after that. Hmm.. but it’s not look really like a strong and scary sindicate like has been told. I’m expecting more tragic, broken hearted and sad scenes in their current period with satisfying ending.

In the last scene.. the main leads only fight with Tuo Li.. meanwhile we know he could be more powerful with lot of mafia as his pupils.

The another lacking point is all cast voices are dubbed. I watch the behind the scene videos of this drama from youtube and I realize that their true voices are better. If they are using their own voice, it must be more realistic and beautiful. Li Teng’s real voice is even hotter!

I love the body guards’ friendship! They are all good looking.. it just so lacking in their costume and weapons.
I think if they have more action scenes like chasing bad guys by driving expensive cars in the road, or riding big motorcycles.. it must be more interesting and elegant. They are a well known body guard company after all.

Actually they can show more action scenes using those high tech protection devices that the body guard company provide, then it will be more thrilling!

Anyway.. no matter what, this drama is successfuly make my heart skip the beat, and I wish they will have another season with the same casts. The ending is satisfying and sweet. The drama ost songs are beautiful too. Salute for the good acting of main leads.
