Heart Wrenching and beautiful raw emotional Melodrama

This drama is adapted from the Japanese drama Boku no Ita Jikan orTime I Was In, The Hours of My Life
But it's better than the Japanese dramas in portraying the characters
I've been waiting for this drama since they announced it two years ago, I don't know why China delayed its release until now
but I'm glad they released it ... at the same time as the male lead's new drama airing (everybody loves me)

prepare yourself for depression, anxiety, and crying rivers of tears all that not just because of the male lead's fatal disease only , but for the people around him and how they react to the news of him dying from an incurable disease
this drama focuses on the relationships and the love between the characters not just familial love but also romantic love and best friendships

I didn't imagine this drama would have one of the best brotherhoods and Bromances ,,, it showed how deep his friendship is with his best friend to the point of breaking down on the street crying like a baby for his best friend three times not just one time and helping his best friend with everything he needs even asking his parents to build a hospital for his friend or getting him the best doctor, all that from the superficial free boy who stays by his side as a side character, he became a responsible man after his friend's ordeal and took care of him in his struggle

The romance here is the best also and they didn't break up for long or go into a toxic relationship because of a misunderstanding created by the male lead, the female lead is a gift from heaven for the male lead, and she stays by his side doing everything humanly possible to help him with such love and care
in the Japanese drama, they made the female lead target for the male lead's co-worker and alleged friend but here the co-worker knew about his disease and never approached the female lead again, he stayed by his side to help him too

The parents were as real as any other parents can be strangers at times but when he got sick and reached for them, they surrounded him with love and compassion and also tried to make up for their negligence in the past
his relationship with his dad wasn't good but after what happened to him everything changed for the better, of course, his dad regretted what he did to him and his family

His work was the strongest point in his life outside of his family and friends and to an idealistic world they made his company understand his needs and accommodate for his condition trying to get him the best care and that's kind of fantasy in the real world
because any company wouldn't appreciate one of its employees who was just a junior designer and help him that much
the world of business is cruel, but they made it perfect

Overall this drama is very good drama to watch when you want to cry a lot and release negative energy , you will love every character , there are no evil people here or bad actions
only people love one person who is dying and struggling with his illness
I love this drama so much and despite being it too sad , I can't stop watching it

Chaotic , irritating and messy piece of shit of story , don't waste your time

I am saving you from a real headache watching this piece of shit of a drama
they used the thriller aspect at the beginning to make it exciting then failed horribly
after that, some of the story was revealed and we went down a rabbit hole of stupid revenge from all the characters
then people die for some Ludacris reasons then the female lead was trying to get better with some good support
but still, the evil people are winning until episode 14
There are a lot of plot holes in each episode,, it's like something happening without logical explanation from sane people but the writer just overlooked it
the evil people are still winning and we are watching this mess
the police are useless, the female lead is useless, and the support is useless
this drama is garbage
I've tried and tried to think positively every weak but the writer is just a nonwriter, he or she is just writing to fill gaps
I wonder why this great actress accepted such a mess

Watch it for the actors Not the plot it's a mess

I've waited for this drama for two years since I watched the many trailers of this drama two years ago and it spoiled almost the entire drama, I was so happy and anxious for its release and it kept being rumored to air every few months since then and never materialized
After Mysterious Lotus casebook drama and the Huge success it gained from the amazing acting skills Cheng Yi portrayed in it this drama was due to air and used that huge success of the main lead to its benefit
it's like YouKu Knew if this drama aired solely on its own Schedule it wouldn't get any ratings and would fail miserably
so It worked
Fans are very happy with Mysterious Lotus casebook and Cheng Yi's great success they became very eager to watch his next thing even though this drama was a rushed drama production after Stay with Me drama that had the same two main leads as a couple
the promotions weren't big nor there were any but leaked behind-the-scenes videos a lot of them before its release
We watched the drama with a lot of expectations but it kind of disappointed us as old fans from two years ago

The Plot

1-Very weak draggy and boring plot with a typical Angsty melodramatic story
2-Very annoying obnoxious characters who keep hurting the main couples for very poor reasons
3-Very Typical ending with a happy ending just because we need to wrap up things

The Actors

the main leads were amazing acting wise, Cheng Yi is truly the king of whump and hurt scenes
he can make you feel very sad and emotional every time he appears, he delivers his character beautifully and that's why I watched the drama just for his amazing angsty scenes and even the romantic ones were very touching
The chemistry between the leads was on point
the side characters were annoying most of the time but the actors did their jobs very good can't complain about the acting

The production

Very low production to the point of the actors using their own real-life clothes
Cheng Yi wore his actual real-life clothes in the drama and was shown many times recently wearing the same outfits in public
And some other low production quality from cinematography to sound to special effects

The overall feeling from this drama is that it's okay drama Not bad Not very good
Just okay
If you love the actors you will watch it and feel happy watching it no matter how poor the plot was

I watched this drama for the two brothers didn't care about the main couple

When it was on air this drama grabbed my attention because of the relationship between the two aquatic demons couple
and their brotherly relationship, I love brotherly relationships more than romantic boring one
I downloaded all the episodes to watch it later on and enjoyed the story and maybe like the main couple on the way and when it came the time to watch it
I tried to like the main couple at first but it was too boring for my taste,, the same old romantic story in every single Xienxia drama out there nothing new or unique
I've tried to keep watching the main couple but I couldn't so I started skipping a lot,, I skipped a lot and I didn't regret it at all
because the story didn't move much until the two brothers came to it and it became about their relationship and the secondary romantic couples relationship,, then it became interesting and I started to enjoy the drama
I like the secondary romantic couple story so much more than the main and to be honest, the writer stalled the main couple and made them so boring and repetitive to the point of abandoning them to the secondary couple problem and their unique relationship
I loved how the two brothers loved each other despite being at odds most of the time,, and hated how stupid the evil brother was doing everything wrong for the one he loved so much his brother and his lover
He destroyed everything he had with his own blind vengeance
I really loved the kind loving caring brother and King hated how he was so passive in his own love relationship always forgiving always passive
The two different endings were equally bad
There was no happy ending
They killed one side of the story just to let the other one live so what's the point
Maybe I prefer episode forty to episode thirty nine because He Na lived and he suffered so much to die in vien
overall this drama is not very good in my opinion

Best Brotherhood detective Wuxia drama in 2023

I was waiting for this drama since it was shot a year ago, I'm a fan of Cheng Yi and Joseph Zhang's dramas I follow the news about dramas they are shooting and since the shooting of this drama it showed so much potential The bromance, friendship, care, martial arts, and also the Angst that Cheng Yi brings to each of his dramas
.
.
when it started airing this drama I had very high hopes and for the first time never disappointed actually, It surpassed my expectations because the plot is very well written with no fillers or annoying romantic relationships even the romantic backstory was short and concise which amazed me and surprised me the most is Cheng Yi's real voice, I've heard it before in interviews or immortal samsara drama but never enjoyed it as much as here
.
his character was so vibrant, so sarcastic sometimes I've never seen him in such a character before I had so much fun watching him being this sarcastic character who keeps ditching his disciple to protect him every funny episode from the first half of the drama was so much entertaining and joyful to watch and it has a strong story to back it up not just funny for the sake of some laughs
.
.
FDB and DFS (Joseph and Xiao ) did a great job Pickering with each other, the opposites of characters yet they care about the hero the only friend for them Li Xiang Yi they showed so much care and playfulness to their characters I really can't say anything bad about this drama because there is nothing bad about it at all
.
.
I wasn't bored for one second, I loved every character, even the villains were fun to watch The martial arts fights were more like dances, beautiful well-played dances, they were really spectacular agree with Joseph when he said to Cheng Yi what you did in those sword fights is something that no one can repeat
If you like Brotherhood, male friendship, detective genera, martial arts, and wuxia fights you will fall in love with this drama can't move on since I finished it and I will probably watch it again and again WELL DONE AND WELL EXECUTED WUXIA BROMANCE DRAMV

Best chinese school drama ever , Best school drama since korean drama school 2013

I didn't expect to watch such a masterpiece in Chinese school drama
it's close to real-life High school and students' Lives Everywhere
It doesn't get into the love lives of the students because they are too busy handling their own social problems and their struggles as high school students,, it shows a generation was mostly interested in schools and their families than their raging hormones,, Yet the drama showcases multiple problems the students face when they wanted to have romantic relationships
It handled many social and psychological issues that many students struggle with anywhere
the drama made us fall in love with the perfect teacher, the mentor, the big brother, and the leader
and also showed that he's human too has a past and has problems of his own
I loved how this drama struck every sense of humanity and responsibility in its stories
not one episode of Bordeom, no toxic people other than some bad people and they were diminished
not everything is in its Ideal state or ever good,, it's life with all its turbulence and peaceful times

I really can't stop talking about How good this drama is
if you watched it you won't ever regret it, ever
it's family drama no kissing scenes no adult scenes, no Too violent scenes
it touches on very sensitive subjects such as suicide and bullying
it doesn't go into deep with very troubled teens,, they are all regular teens with mild to somewhat serious social
issues but not too serious
maybe there were more serious issues to be addressed for high school students but they didn't go there

Emotional , dysfunctional and overly dramatic family issues but watchable

I don't know where to start describing this drama
I've only watched it for Bai Yu,, I love his acting and his characters,, he's the best actor of his generation without a doubt
this time his role is more on the emotional, sensitive side
you can't do anything but love his character so much but it was annoying sometimes,, how he was overly entangled with his cousins,, he practically stopped his own life for them also his cousins were trouble makers ,,, especially the older one
she was older than him and she acted out million times and it was his job to support her and clean her mess with every support she needs even when she was totally crazy
he was wronged so many times,, he couldn't have a proper love life
he kept on taking care of his family and denying himself any happiness,, selflessly he didn't even want to leave them for his girlfriend
as the drama went on, it kept on thousands of problems created every episode for the family members and it kept on discussing every family problem you think of
it dragged out a lot and kept pilling on complicated relationships with the female lead especially
then some twist here and there about blood relatives or adoptive also the past relationships kept popping up
it was a journey of very painful complicated family issues
I was hooked to watch it because of Bai Yu's sensible character, he was out of this world character
very kind and courageous, very supportive and responsible
I wished I had a brother like him badly
but sometimes he was eccentric in his closeness to his cousin, I can understand how his girlfriend felt most of the time
I wouldn't like a husband like him ever
but the last two episodes were irritating what they did to his character
why? why such bad luck? after all, he did
If you like family dramas and all of their somewhat realistic issues this drama is for you

Best Bromance/male friendship drama of 2023 Yet

This drama aired without any promotion and suddenly it's here
the first take from the trailer and promos videos was definitely this is an angsty bromance or male friendship drama
and from the first few episodes it was just funny and hilarious scenes between the two leads,, it was really fast-paced
it didn't have time to go through boring scenes or prolonged dialogues, it went straight to being enemies at first then becoming closest friends after that
The male lead has a goofy crazy character sometimes,, he is carefree, a thief who has no conscious but somehow
he grew conscious when he realized the second lead's true identity, which was related to his sad past
then things in the middle got a lot confusing with all the mess in the historical background which was based on true events from China's true history so it was a bit complicated and a bit messy as a background story
then again the Bromance was blooming and their relationship got stronger and stronger with each lie the male lead give
he lied so many times like a professional thief he is just to survive and to protect his best friend
the drama also had a bonus Romance plot line to pass censorship with all the male lead's skinship scenes,, never would have imagined China passing those scenes without confirming the male lead is a straight guy
the romance plot line wasn't annoying and the female lead was really strong in character and not a damsel in distress as usual
The romance was really little and she was absent most of the time to leave room for the brothers to do their work
I loved every episode of the drama
it turned bloody in the final episodes and made me think it will end a very bad ending but Not Thank god
they ended up being best friends again alive and well
If you like Bromance or male friendship dramas this one is definitely for you

detective drama with a kid partner but went down hill the second half of it

It started really strong start and it had so much potential but the plot went downhill from half of the drama
connecting all the crimes in the laziest way possible and working the detective work very slowly to the point of boredom
the trust between the kid and the detective had so much potential for some kind of adopting a genius detective but they didn't
they ended it by leaving the kid alone a gain
I loved the angsty parts of it and somewhat thrill that the kid made for the drama but didn't like How things turned in the last few episodes
It's enjoyable watch don't get me wrong but you will skip a little towards the finale

Hilarious , Light and Ridiculously funny fantasy drama that makes it interesting to watch

This drama started the first episode a very funny and hilarious start,, even the fantasy part was like a part of a fantasy game
I loved How handsome and quirky the main lead was,, I found it very funny every episode put a smile and laugh on my face
didn't take seriously at all and who would,, it's not serious in any way, It can be described as a parody of Idol's life
I enjoyed watching every episode,, didn't feel bored and didn't think too much about it, they tried to make it serious sometimes but didn't work because the main theme was fantasy so How could it be
I loved the main lead's character,, the actor made it so easy to love him and have fun watching what he does
I loved the friendship plot with the members of his band and how he bonded with every single one
how they became family and co-depended on each other
I loved the Bromance between him and that overly handsome Grim reaper LOL ,,, he's very adorable
The Romantice part of the drama wasn't that appealing to be honest,, it seemed forced sometimes and I couldn't feel
the chemistry between them but it was okay and they didn't have many romantic scenes,, one kiss in all the dramas' episodes
The happy ending was cheerful and very very happy
Loved the funny twist at the finale , it was satisfying
Overall, this drama is fun to watch
If you want to decompress and watch funny ,light not very serious drama,, this is it for you
you will have good laughs from it and watch few handsome young men as a bonus

Worst second season ever made

Dull, boring, slow, and useless
what to say more,, first season was okay somewhat intriguing and funny at times
this season is pointless,, nothing new, villains are just either stupid or envious not real villains
the romantic story didn't develop it got stuck in some repeated scenes,, really a waste of time
and above all they added lesbians in one of their cases
as if at that time lesbians actually existed
they are forcing the gayness on us like shit and I'm fed up with this forced propaganda
Overall huge waste of time
very very very disappointed

Typical republican era drama But had it's good friendship Angsty scenes

I watched this drama for the male lead only and the trailer made it sound mystical and interesting
few first episodes of a slow-paced story then it picked up a little when the female lead started to become a decent person
not a psychopath
but there were new characters that has a lot of emotional baggage and a light-headed male lead started to love the female lead
There were some good Angsty scenes here and there was also the good male friendship between the male lead and his best friend, I stayed for their friendship,, didn't care about the romance, to be honest and there were multiple couples
overall it was enjoyable to watch sometimes and very boring other times so it's a mix of both
if you really like any of the actors you will enjoy it,, if you don't this drama will be a painful watch for you
There were a lot of family disputes and a lot of people getting injured and sometimes dying but to end up killing every single character in the drama and leave the male lead alone to his old age that's ridiculous and not fair
So decide for yourself whether is it worth watching or not

Best Bromance (NON BL) drama since killer and healer and word of Honor

This drama is all about Male friendship between the two male leads,, the romance with the female lead is subtle and not overly exaggerated,, it's friendship and youth struggles in life
I loved loved the friendship
to have that long lost friend finds you and protect you from your own self that's friendship goals
one of the two friends is desperate to carry his grandmother's responsibility in a young age and she's sick most of the time
he endured everything on his own for his only family, his grandmother until his childhood friend found him again and began pursuing him to connect again and to live his young age properly
of course, the young man has a lot of responsibilities towards earning money for a living and taking care of his ailing granny
but his friend and his new girlfriend of sorts didn't leave his side,, they did everything possible to help him take care of his granny and also get him to feel happy and wanted again
it's really emotional story and really amazing sweet friendship you can't miss
I felt happy watching this drama and feeling all these amazing feelings of love without cause or sexual intent
pure innocent strong love
I really recommend it

The Blandest not interesting family drama ever

I was interested at first, I dreamed of thrilling episodes, action and evil work then resolving everything for the greater good
I thought the grandson was a gangster and he will try to get his inheritance by force or try to harm the male lead that took his place or the other guy who wants to marry the female lead fights for her dirty fights or any kind of oh my god what will happen moments?
NONE OF THAT
so unrealistic so bland to the point of what was the writer thinking, this is boring
where are the melodramatic scenes, where are the evil deeds and it's effects, where is the most heartbreaking scenes that make you cry your heart out
why are all those people forgiven and very okay with everything
where is that kind of family that has everyone a decent person and accepts everything even if it is wrong?
even the gangsters who held the grandson's wife hostage we didn't know what happened to them
this is utter boredom and an inconsistent story

Emotional sweet some what light drama not smart one

This drama is very light and sweet, it's not extraordinary or unique, it's just a sweet peaceful type of drama
I got emotional a lot watching it and I consider any drama that makes me emotional, laugh, and crying to be a very good drama
it served its purpose for me
it made me feel happy sometimes and sad crying loudly other times
its love story isn't that touching, it's more like a healing drama
it made parting loved ones peaceful and calming,, healing the people left behind just with that thought of their parting loved ones at peace
don't watch it if you want something very funny or something very smart, it's not at all
also, they dragged the story of the dead kid too long and made it somewhat thrilling a bit but they failed at that unfortunately
overall it's emotional drama but not smart drama
it's for your heart, not your brain
I gave it 7.5 ratings because it touched my heart
