8 episodes of i want more

Surprise! It’s only 8 episode but I’m giving it 10/10 rating. It’s enjoyable, it’s fast but well paced. 1 episodes only 20mins why not give this little gem a try? 2 person met by fate and went through a process healing their broken soul. They learn and finally hope to live a better life. It’s a little bit of sweet little bit of hope little bit of everything u want more in the next episode.

You want to learn more about their backstory as you watch and wonder why they acted the way they act. The show had me guessing about how the FL turns out the way she is. She is betrayed and finally meet the ML and it’s like she see light at the end of the tunnel. The ML wanted to die but he stop that thinking because he encounter the FL and realize he is actually “lucky”.

It’s fun to watch and I doubt anyone will regret watching it. The music is nice and the leads did a great job. I think I have seen the ML before but couldn’t remember where and which drama. It’s the first time I have seen the FL. She is probably new but she acted well. She’s the kind where she looks prettier the more you look at her. I’m hoping to see her in more dramas in the future.

Conclusion: if you chance upon this drama please give it a try. Highly recommended.

7.5 rating? Damnn!

I almost missed this little gem here because of the low rating here. Phew~ luckily i watched it and i damn enjoyed it. No its not a perfect series and there is lots of flaws. Dramatic but those warmth added to the show raised its flavour. Its a really enjoyable show and the main couple has exploding chemistry. Do not be deterred by the sypnosis of the main leads possibility of being blood related siblings and expect something melodrama that will crash the whole show. I was almost too scared to watch because of this but its nothing that bad about it. Its overall quite light hearted and how the main leads fall in love is natural and don't feel forced which i liked about. Its like every episode has a few small story about their client whom want to take the paternity test, not all story is good however all this little story shows us the real side of the main leads and that every problems does not appear to be just how it looks and has more depth into it. Just like how we should not judge a book by its cover, real life issue has multiple facet so we shouldnt be too quick to judge.

Anyhow i really enjoy this show. enjoyment value for is 10/10. Not everyone will enjoy as much as i did but if i have to give a rating for this show excluding my personal enjoyment and just how this show fare i will still give a minimum rating of 8. Its short and sweet, fast paced but not too fast. I am writing this review so that more people will give this show a shot and not drop it due to the low rating here.

CIAOS~

Interesting from 1 to 24

Basically this drama kept my interest level high throughout episode 1 to 24. There isn’t much screen time that makes me feel bored or unnecessary.

Honestly I do not understand why this show only has a rating of 7.4? Luckily I gave it a try or i would have missed a great show that makes me feel good watching. Totally enjoyable.

The chemistry between the main leads are great and their acting is great too. Most supporting cast did well in their acting too. First of all it’s a comedy romance show so please judge fairly based on it tag and give this drama justice. It’s definitely a good RomCom that deserve much better rating.

There’s nothing too dark in this show and mostly are neutralized by those comedic character so I would say it’s quite light hearted. The female lead is strong and domineering but definitely soft and cute and enjoy being protected by the male lead. Plus point is FL is super pretty and has a great smile with super dimple <3 ML might look weak as compared to FL but he is definitely no sheep that needs to be protected by the FL. He is sharp and smart and is capable and does well in what he does. Even without FL help you know that he could still succeed. How they fell in love is also natural. Love the romance between them.

Conclusion: I highly recommend this ROMCOM. Especially after you watch some stressful drama and wants to change the pace to something enjoyable and can make u smile. My overall rate for the show is 9/10 totally based on my enjoyable value. I rarely write reviews and I just could not stand the low rating on this show so i wanted to give some positive feedback and not let this Gem left unchecked

Realistic story line, Cute and interesting interaction between main leads

Hu Yi Xuan is a good actress and i have watched most of her show. However i must say she excelled in this drama and this is her best performance so far in my opinion. Her portrayal of Xiao Ju is super solid armed with on the point expression that is displayed by her facial and body language. She acts exactly the age of the character xiao ju at different phase of her life. I really enjoyed her acting in this drama. Richard wang also acted really well for his character and this is actually the first drama i watched him in and i am impressed by how well he played his playful and naughty character. All other supporting roles also did their part well and i am loving all the cast especially Tao Tao.

This is a drama that feels real and not that many cliches you find in most ROMCOM which i really like about. Not all couples ended up together, they fall in love, make mistakes, make up and break up But the friendship is solid among them which keeps me going and wanting to watch more. They also have heart warming family members that can bring tears to your eyes. Xiao Ju and her little brother relationship is so relatable as i also have an older sister and we were exactly that way when we were young LOL(and we love each other too despite all the fights).

There isn't much romantic scene between the main couple but they made it up with tons of sweet lovely moments. Their interaction and relationship is so adorable that you will ship them and fall in love with them unconditionally. Most of the time they are squabbling with each other but they are so cute fighting each other it makes u laugh and smile unknowingly :) You will definitely ship the main couple and understand how they eventually fall in love.

*SPOILER*
There is only 1 thing i dislike about this drama and its that the main couple only got together officially in the final minute of the final episode. LMAO you are going to have angst over it. This drama could have been shorten by another 3-4 episode and it would be perfect. How they keep missing each other over misunderstanding is annoying. (this extended the whole drama by another 3 episode -.-) Lu Shi Yi initial attitude towards Xiao Ju after his returns from oversea is also annoying and does not make sense.(DUDE U CAME BACK FOR HER SO STOP TREATING HER LIKE U DID WHEN U WERE 18). <- this extended the drama by almost an entire episode.

CONCLUSION: i don't regret watching this and i will definitely rewatch it when i am free later on. WORTH the watch and i recommend all of you to give it a try, (Also Hu Yi Xuan is super cute and adorable here(just like she did in all her previous drama), her cute expression itself is enough to make you smile hahaha) SOLID 10/10 rating. LOVE IT

OMG BEST ENDING FOR A ROM COM EVER EVER EVER

I will start off this review with the ending. Honestly i am sick of all the anti climatic ending i have watched over the past years. The usual wedding ceremonies with forced comedy, not a single ROMCOM has done a better ending than this series ever EVER. They teased my emotion then make me smile like crazy hahahah. I really love this. I am writing this right after i have just finished the series and i have never felt so enthusiastic about an ending before. Maybe its because of all the boring endings i have watched for a long time.

Thanks for the perfect ROMCOM to end year 2021 for me. I havent had a good ROMCOM for a long time and this is the perfect dose. There is so many things i like about this drama. From the main couple interaction, their chemistry to the friendship with 88 co. colleagues. There are some tear jerking moments but its the warm and loving kind.

I had watched so many dramas and this is 1 of the best i had. I never felt bored throughout the whole series and really love the pacing of it. They basically encounter problems after problems and solve it over and over again. In the process learning and growing together. You will slowly feel love for all the characters in the show because they have their own unique personalities and is always kind and loving in their own unique ways. I like all the couples interactions as well. They are all different but refreshing to watch. If you want to watch a good ROMCOM that makes you smile like an idiot be sure not to miss this gem.

Also there are many wise and meaningful lines in there which i repeated a few times and to grasps the wisdom. LOL. The main couple started off bickering as usual but they are cute and funny. The male lead seems cold but is actually really nice and warm towards the female leads not bullying her but never fail to tease her when the opportunity arise. He is soft hearted and kind but try to act otherwise. However it is so obvious he is a good hearted person that he doesnt look cold at all even if he really tried. Anyway.... It highly recommend this if you love ROMCOM. PLEASE DO NOT MISS IT :D

OH BTW, i love the female lead acting. She can really cry "uglily" but you will just find her cute. I am serious, ugly but truly cute. I have watched her past drama before but i think she done so much better than her past series.

ciaos.

Light and easy to watch

The plot of having no senses at all such as sense of smell, taste and touch etc. is a refreshing idea to me. It is very easy to watch and follow through. first half of the show focuses a lot on the romance aspect between the main leads and they definitely do have chemistry. FYI the male lead actual age is 8 years younger than the FL but it does not bother me at all. They look cute together. Its my first time watching Bu Guan Jin as the main lead and I'm impressed by her acting. I especially found it cute and funny at her exaggerated "crying" act.

The comedic part of the drama is also very well done which often bring laughter and smiles. FL is especially good at acting embarrassed which i really like hahaha. Overall there is nothing much to complain about this show. It is a good watch between angsty drama to calm your heart. They separated only once through out the drama because the ML actually is the one that "killed" her parents. I like it as it only took less than 2 episode to clear the misunderstanding and they are back as the loving couple again.Their love throughout the show is strong and trust me you will definitely smile at their loving moments especially when the ML teases her.

The ending however is kind of abrupt which make me think there is another episode left which made me double check and realise it actually ended. Supporting cast is not bad as well but the main focus of the show is the 2 leads. This show failed to keep my interest level high throughout the show but it is a good enough drama. I will wait for Dear Diary as i would like to watch another of Bu Guan Jin show. Her acting shine in this drama, and male lead did a great job as well.

Push through to Episode 12 and you will see a different light

First off i have some different opinion with many viewers. I see lots of negative reviews which i can totally understand why.
For me i like the casting of the main leads and i like the FL bestie for i think their acting is above average to good(story and character aside). I always like Zhou Yu Tong's acting she does not disappoint me at all. She has always been a super good actress just that most of the drama she is in has lousy script.

I have to be honest that i almost drop the drama at around episode 5. That is because the FL has super lousy character and she is annoying as hell. She always blame others instead of looking at her own problem. The best part about this show is her character development, where she slowly realises her own short coming and incapabilities and lack of passion. Her lack of passion for her work as a scientist and always have the thought of giving up getting her PHD is understandable as her priority has always been making more money to support herself and her grandma. Think about it, most have us will behave the same way if our immediate priority is to make money to survive.

Her development into a better version of herself is almost entirely thanks to our ML whom is always directing her and helping her. YES she was annoying and really unlikable initially but to me its understandable how the ML is in love in her from the start. After all he has always known her and have always been talking to her as an "online friend" i believe as annoying as she is during the chatting period as an "online friend" the ML has see something in her. Unlike the recent drama "Cute Programmer", where i could not understand how the FL fall in love with the ML at all and is a total disaster level drama which i ultimately drop. As a comparison this drama is way better. (To viewers that was able complete The Cute Programmer i salute you.)

ML is also over dramatised with super low EQ, where i must say he is a really stupid genius which is also annoying. THIS plus super annoying FL is the reason why i almost drop the show. The first half of the drama for me is filled with mixed feelings, mostly angst and irritation over the main leads.

However towards episode 12 i start to like the show more and more. It start to feels like a "feel-good" ROMCOM and all the angst disappear. FL develop slowly and steadily becoming more and more likeable. She slowly has passion for her work and did her best for her exams with everything she has got. Finally make up with the ML and does not have as much stupid misunderstanding as compared to the first half. One complain for the second half is that the ML took too much time to confess that he is "forever and ever" which leads to FL angst which is also understandable. But she has always liked him(the online friend) and also fell in love with the real life version so how can she not forgive him? Maybe its not even really about forgiving, she never said she forgave him. She just love him and want to be with him even though he hid her identity from her for so long making her feel like a clown. After all the ML did nothing to hurt her but instead has been helping her throughout. And it is also understandable why he hid his identity so "I" ended up forgiving the ML LOL.

Enjoyment value for first half: 5/10
Second half: 8.5/10
The second half did well in redeeming the first half.

BTW sorry for roasting the cute programmer here HA. HA

I came here after watching Rattan and wanted to watch more of Sally Jing work. I must say this show is definitely worth the watch. It has a nice story and keeps you curious about what is about to happen. It has many beautiful scenery in this drama as half of the show they are cruising in a housing van which is interesting to watch as they travel from shanghai to shangri la.

The main leads definitely has good chemistry however if you are expecting a lot of romance then you will be disappointed. I must say that they are too stingy with the romance. There isn't even a single kiss scene which is regretful. I am not someone that like to watch drama with a lot of kiss scene and i am also fine with romance show without any kiss scene. However due to the fact that there is too few romance scene i am at least craving for a beautiful and romantic kiss scene which never happen. LOL

conclusion: i don't regret watching this show because the story makes up for the lack of romance. However it might get a bit draggy and suffering to watch for a handful of episode when the male leads had no choice but to leave the group to engage in his undercover mission. Push through those episode and you will be fine. Your friendly fast forward button can save you from it. Lastly i am quite satisfied with the ending tho it could be better.

Exceeded my expectation

This is one of the best Cdrama i watched for 2021. Sally Jing looks super gorgeous in cheongsam and didn't know cheongsam could look this elegant and charming. I almost wanted to drop this drama halfway through episode 1, but i must say since episode 2 i could not stop watching and finish binging the whole show in 2 days. If you like fantasy and mystery this is a must watch. It keeps you curious throughout and keep you guessing.

There is 2 different ending to this show. i guess most people will categorise 1 as happy and 1 as sad ending. to be honest i feel that both ending can't be categorised as simple as happy or sad. i personally prefer the 1st ending which is supposed to be the "sad" ending. To me it is a good ending, better than the 2nd ending as i feel the 2nd ending is somewhat "forced" and does not make much sense or without sufficient explanation.

Which ending do you prefer?

Heartwarming, sweet, adorable and youthful romance

Did not have any high expectation when I first read the summary of this drama. I’m glad I gave it a try and it’s a really nice drama. Lighthearted and enjoyable to watch. 99% smiles 1% of mixed feelings.

First of all I would like to give props to the main leads. I think they both are new actor and actresses but their acting isn’t bad and is better than anticipated. Though there is room for improvement but I feel that it’s already great and they have potential. I look forward if they have upcoming new dramas.

Supporting cast are great especially Tao Zi and Yi Ming. Tao Zi acts amaze me during the “Tin” stage performance. She can really act well and I’m surprise to know that she is only 15! Yi Ming role is a total comedian and I like his exaggerated acting LOL.

Overall there isn’t anyone that is too “toxic” and they eventually all become friends and learn to let go, forgive and love themselves the right way.

It’s a refreshing drama with a ML that likes the FL right from the start. ML is a nice gentlemen and knows how to treat the FL right right from the start. FL learns and grow into a better version of herself through the ML whom is always there for her be it happy or sad. I love the romance between them, and I must say it’s a very youthful romance so don’t expect anything too mature. REMEMBER they are just students that below 18.

Conclusion: enjoyable value 10/10 I won’t give anything less than 10 for enjoyment value. As for the story, my interest level is always kept above 8/10 for wanting to watch the next episode right away. Each episode is only 30mins so it’s easy to watch and you won’t feel overloaded.

highly recommend this show, and if you are like me hesitating to watch? Then must definitely watch it. Give it an episode or 2 and you will fall in love. If not just drop it. 2 episode is only 1 hour anyway.

Stupid and annoying ML

It’s my first low rating after such a long time. I dropped this drama at episode 8 btw so this might not be helpful and just take my review as a pinch of salt. I just wanted to rant. I tried to persist on and watch further but I couldn’t stand the ML. He is annoying, stupid, rude, narcissistic and just plain terrible. I don’t find anything likable about him except for his is good in his field of work. So I do not understand and does not ship the main leads at all. Plus there is no logic in this show, I usually does not care a lot about logic because it is a drama after all, BUT hell no I’m not with this drama logic. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I had hope that there is character development but I found out that in the later episode the ML ex is back and he did stupid things again which made me decide to drop before the angst get over me. Overall it is already filled with angst for me in the early episode because of how unlikeable and annoying the ML is that is why I drop the show. A romance show with terrible lead’s character, poor character development and full of misunderstanding is just a waste of time to me. The story is not even interesting and the romance couldn’t even make up for it.

Conclusion: I usually does not drop a drama easily and tried to find good in a drama therefore I seldom give low rating like this. Anything enjoyable would have at least at a rating of 7.5 from me. But this is terrible. Watch at your own risk who knows you might actually like this kind of drama with annoying ML ?
