Not my favorite ZBX, but I'll watch any of his dramas at least once, lol.

Spoilers:

Always look for Jwells posted links. If you haven't already. :)

LSW looked great in the fuzzy hoodie w/animal ears and bare chested. Too bad that was the best shots of him like that. Only 1 short kiss scene. That's a crying shame because both LSW and LL can kiss like fire. Good story on how FL comes back from her 7 year relationship and the sacrifices she made. Story really used the troupes of mean and arrogant in-laws. Loved ML's mom and how she loved FL. Didn't like the FL's mom at first until she realized how bad her daughter had had it w/2ml and his parents. Then, FL's mom flipped her stance and fully supported FL in divorcing scum. There were a lot of longing and affectionate glazing by ML. Really wish script had moved a bit faster where there was more skinship and passion for the MC. End was lackluster for me. Sure, 2ml scum gets karma, but MC is just walking in the rain. True, a lot of good points in the drama, but people, I want more hugs and kisses, lol.

Ohmygosh! LSW in a fuzzy cute hoodie w/ears and bare chested. YUM. At about the :51 mark. :)

ok. so finished. lackluster end for me. not enough hugs and kisses. basically, just one short kissing scene without the real passion both these leads have shown in other C-dramas. I still liked most of the story because FL redeems herself and, hey, Liang Si Wei and Lan Lan (but mostly LSW, teehee)

sweet romance started by a look and blind date. FL has low self-confidence due to her family situation. Ml not really interested in marriage except to please his mom. But, he had already been attracted to the fl when she mistook him for her blind date. Loved ml's mom and how she loved and backed fl. Liked how fl's brother came forward at the end to make things right. Liked how there was reference that females were as important at males. Liked how the MC fell in love w/one another. Thought the ml's assistant was fun. Some things felt glossed over and never developed. Of course, there has to be a crazy 2fl who really needed more karma. Only 1 kiss scene and it was short. Didn't feel there was much chemistry w/mc. That's a shame as I have seen Ma Shi Yao kiss like fire. HE w/both confessing love and wanting to make contract marriage real. But, never shows them consummating relationship just them going to a doctor who confirms fl is pregnant. I feel a bit cheated, lol. Did like how ml quickly began to tell others fl was his wife.

ok. i've seen some crazy stuff in these verticals, but this is the first time seeing someone take a knife slash to the upper left back and then need surgery on their stomach. rotf

ok. finished. Mainly, I watched for Ma Shi Yao. Really liked how protective his character became of FL.

TY. I was waiting to see if you came across a longer version than the ones Mel found before watching. Since this one is the same length, looks like this is what i'll go with, lol! I figured, if anyone could find a longer version, it would be you. You are our Links Queen! Thank you for all you hard work.

I can understand her not telling him about the kid after what she heard him say. I liked that the ML loved her, even if he couldn't admit that to himself, when she was plus sized. You see more of that in flashback scenes near the end of the drama. Really wish they had gotten together sooner so we had more romance and passion. Basically just one decent kiss scene, which is a shame as Zeng Hui is a fine kisser. I can also understand the fl's character as no longer the bubbly girl from before after having lost one baby and having to care for one w/health issues. At first, I thought maybe someone else had answered his phone and told her not to call, but near the end you find out he really did that to her. Liked him less at that point. However, fl forgave him and HE w/fl and child reunited w/ML and his family. Liked when ML's grandmother slapped the green tea .

I really liked the different plot, but really wish there had been kisses and at least a bit of passion. Liked how ml protected her and put the 2fl to the curb. Liked that fl came to ml's world. They were cute together but not a lot of chemistry IMO. HE w/proposal and they hug. It did make me feel good during the watch, but that may be more to the fact I had not watched this story line before and I like the ML.

boring. No chemistry or passion. Most kisses were cut, too much time edited out. If I had not watched another, longer version it would have been hard to keep up. Especially as subs were wonky. Fl looked too old for her character. Both actors not on MDL, so that prompted me to watch. Did have “HE” and this ml was somewhat less toxic than other.

i'm almost an hour in and it looks like most all, or mostly all of, the kiss scenes have been cut. too much has been edited out.

ok. finished. best not viewed or at 4x speed of light..

brief spoilers below if you need them after the speed of light comment, lol

I love this FL character! Wang Xiao Yi rocked the role for me. Loved how she survived and took back her mom's legacy and wreaked havoc on her dad, his mistress and daughter. Liked how the ML was willing to let her do her thing but there to back her up. Loved how he was already in love with her but didn't show it until much later. A couple of kiss scenes and shirtless Lan Bo, who doesn't need a body double, lol. Would have rated higher if more passion and kisses. HE w/him confessing he knew her for years and she admitting she was willing to love for him. Ends w/kiss.

Liked how FL took back control of the family and business and made some of the villains pay for the torture they put her through. Gao Ming played his role very well. The controlling things he did just kept coming to the surface bit by bit. I liked how he did make the decision to support her in doing her things and not trapping her in a cage like he really wanted to do so she would only be with him. That was a good twist. A few good kisses, no love scenes other than her cleaning her hands after HJ because he drugged himself. There was decent chemistry at times. Mostly, ML was just a puppy to her and psycho to others, lol. She never fully took his bait, but did decide his identity no longer mattered to her as long as she was able to do her thing and he was there. So, in that sense, a HE. However, it was lackluster for me as I wanted more than that ending of her at the new office w/company name change and her saying she didn't care who he was.

Gao Ming is just pretty to look at. A little psycho puppy here, but not too much. Parts are intense, but not as much as description or opening scenes would lead you to believe.

Liu Qing is a natural on screen. Loved the chemistry of these two and the steamy kisses and shirtless LQ. The fl's sister was crazy and wish her karma was shown instead of just hauling her off. A few illogical things, but it's a Cdrama. Like, FL was so upset w/ML for lying to her, but nothing shown that FL is upset w/ML's sister, who is also her best friend, who also lied to her. And was the grandmother the mother of the FL's dad? Liked the best friend and the ML's mom. Understood why the 2ml lied and wanted the FL and glad he repented. HE w/baby on the way.

Overall, a fun watch. Steamy kisses and a shirtless Liu Qing. Great visuals w/Lin Zi Rong.
Spoilers below.

RomCom w/slapstick. Cute how ML/FL dance around one another for most part. A little too long at 2:38. Liked how ML swapped from wanting to kill her to loving her. Funny how the guard wrote the books and became catalyst for love. A couple of decent kiss scenes. Chemistry was kinda meh for me. Interesting twist on who was behind the scenes. HE w/wedding.

This is also a comedy. I would have rated lower, but it really did make me laugh at times.
Spoilers below.

boring. Lackluster chemistry, kisses were pressed w/heads moving. I've seen both leads do much better kissing scenes. Especially Li Meng Ran. It was soooo draggy. The inter monologue made me want to slap them. Then myself for not just dropping it. I kept hoping for more. HE w/crazy 2fl probably in mental hospital and MC married w/time jump about 8 years w/son.
I did like how ML loved FL, but not enough to increase my rating from a 6.

I'm 38 minutes in and I REALLY want to slap both of them..... I always try to avoid the word "stupid", but sometimes the characters just fit the definition.... I like the actors, so I'll continue. Maybe the "S" word applies to me as well.....

ok. finished. spoilers below
