Intriguing drama
When I first read the storyline,I was excited very much.After watching the drama,i felt it was the most different type of genre and plot that I've ever watched of all my 60 Chinese dramas of different genres.The plot is quite interesting.
Jing tian portrayal of Si teng is probably one of the best performances.Her way of portrayal of emotions,costumes,her attitude and her pain , everything about her was excellent.
This drama has all-horror,emotion,betrayal,mystery, determination,love.
It kept me hooked from the start.
The story was unpredictable.
Vin Zhang and the other star cast performed well.Everything else was good.
This drama haunted for me a long time,that I could not forget it's scenes when I went on a forest trip
Overall an excellent watch👍

Good wuxia drama
This was my first Chinese drama that I watched.It was relatively a new genre for me to watch.The story was though not extraordinary,it was interesting enough to keep watching further episodes.It was hilarious as well as intriguing.
The leads chemistry was very good.
All the other cast acted very well.
The music, costumes , locations were good.
After this drama,I started watching more Chinese dramas.
Overall a good watch.I would suggest anyone planning to watch this drama,watch without a second thought as you will not regret watching.

Started strong but lost interest gradually
Pursuit of Jade starts on a strong note, with beautiful landscape settings, strong FL who makes her living for herself and her little sister by butchering pigs, as her parents pass away, despite the criticisms she face from her fellow villagers.She comes across ML who is saved by her when she finds him unconscious in the snow, which is the main backdrop of the Lin'an town.
The first few episodes were very interesting with a little bit revelation of the ML backdrop as Marquis Wu'an, the FL facing house issues from her relatives, her constant worries regarding money and her sister, while the ML trying to relay and receive information through the falcon.
There were few interesting moments where ML stands up for FL in various situations in the village as he agrees to become her "matrilocal husband".
Now this is where exactly I started losing interest, as it has taken ages for Xie Zheng, ML, to come out of the village and even disgusting is that, almost till ep 26,he kept on lying about his identity to her and also had made his men and army to fabricate many lies. I didn't understand any logic in this cat and mouse game of Zheng, since he loves her so much, why can't he reveal his identity in the later episodes?
Also, I gradually lost interest in the romantic conversations of the main leads and started skipping them to a point, where I dont know what's going on between them, either arguing, fighting, or trying to sort out?
Another major problem for me is Zheng, the mighty Marquis, even after knowing that someone wanted to kill him and somebody is trying to kill Fan Changyu, did not put even a single step forward in investigating these matters. Here and there we find him planning some strategies for war, but at the end he is not the one who fights or kills but Fan Changyu, a "self-made overnight heroine".
And coming to Fan Changyu, initially I found her quite capable, strong, righteous, amd trying to make a living, but once she steps out of the village, she is " the great female warrior, who without any training, can kill generals, who fought hard battles woth just 2 strikes".For me, she really turned into a ridiculous character and lost complete interest in her.She is capable of everything, from bringing rice to meat, to killing rebels and traitors, without a single scratch on her or years of training!!!
The only storyline that made me watch this far is Qi Min and Yu Qianqian.I wanted to see how their story comes to an end along with their son. Simply liked Deng Kai's acting. For me, he and his brother are the only saving grace.
Also, the Sui brothers were more interesting than the main leads. And as for the main villain, nothing serious has really been shown, so I dont know.
On a final note, I felt it a Wasted Opportunity, which lost its potential as it progressed.

Thrilling and intriguing time loop drama!!
Mobius is a well crafted and well directed drama.The plot itself is very intense and engaging with unpredictable and suspenseful twists and turns.
The way the makers have dealt with both genetic research and time loop is really impressive, because it makes you anxious, nervous, and tensive, as the story unfolds.
I liked the way how Ding Qi, the male lead, has used his ability to remember incidents from previous loop, to solve the same problems that occur in the next loop and tried to change the outcome of many situations.
Bai Jingting, as usual, amazes us as Ding Qi,with a small witty and comic nature combined with logical analysis. His acting is phenomenal. From action scenes, to humour and subtle romantic scenes, he performed fabulously. 👏💯
Janice Man, Song Yang, Liu Yi Jun and all the other cast were perfect for their roles.
A special mention to the whole team of police under Duan Zheng,who gave their all to solve the case of Moma.
Finally, Mobius, imo, is an edge of the seat thriller that keeps you hooked, right from the first episode itself with mind blowing twists and suspenses.
A MUST WATCH DRAMA!!

A drama that makes you crack your brains for every minute!!!
Veil of shadows is a drama with a very multi-layered and deeply wrapped plot with brain racking twists and turns.STORY-
The story is well written with many interlaced concepts, predestined fates, secrets awaiting to be unearthed and tracing down the fragments of Jiu Ying, the evil force behind all the chaos and menace.
ACTING-
Chen Duling and Ju Jingyi, as the fox sisters, from Formless Moon sect, excelled in their roles as Wu Wangyan and Lu Wuyi respectively. Their background stories of carrying out missions, sharing memories, coming to rebirth with the Power of Moon after every mission, the oracle stone, all seemed very interesting. Their bond was also very good without any unnecessary misunderstandings. 👍
Tian Jiarui as Ji Ling, a multi faceted and multi layered character, also was outstanding in his performance. 👌
Zeng Shunxi, as Wu Shiguang, totally nailed his role, as the Tenth Dragon son, the last hope for the world left by his brothers. His performance in the last episode was superb👌
Yanan, as a commander of Shilin sect, who wanted to know who was he exactly, also, was very good in his acting👍
All the other actors were perfectly cast and totally brought life to their roles.
OTHERS-
The bgm's were good and seemed to fit the situations perfectly.
The costumes deserve a high appreciation. They were beautiful and elegant 👏
FAVOURITE COUPLE-
Of course, it was Wu Shiguang and Wu Wangyan for me. Their story, though started in an illusion, became a deep affection for both of them in reality. I liked their little conversations and all their scenes in the star stone illusion. 🤗
NEGATIVES-
I felt that the plot could be more focused on the mission of eliminating Jiu Ying and the steps to gather power required for that.
Upto episode 18,everything went perfect, but I felt it went downhill from there till episode 27,again where the real fight with the main antagonist starts.
The director could have reduced time for unfolding the secrets and relations of Li Jie and Ji Ling and Ji Ling and Lu Wuyi as well.
I think the parts involving Li Jie, Lu Wuyi and Ji Ling dragged for a longer time which made me skip many scenes involving them.
The focus could be kept on how the Tenth dragon son would be trained for this mission of world peace and how everyone supported it.
It was not until the climax, that everyone is shown to unite against Jiu Ying, which felt very rushed for me.
The plot could be more developed in this direction.
Anyways, this is honestly my personal opinion.
On a final note, this drama is" A MUST WATCH AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ONE".👌💯
Watch for its interwoven theories that will definitely make your brains work, but would rather never turns out as we we expect!!

The acting of the cast is perfect.
Wang Xingyue has truly excelled in this role and is phenomenal in his acting. 👌
I liked the friendship between Xiao Beiming, Zhong Xueman, Huo Dairong, Feng Qingzhou and Zhuge Kongyun.
A special mention of Deng Kai as Zhuge Kongyun and He Luoluo as Tong Shuang, they really excelled in their roles. 👏
The music is good, action scenes were perfect with not being over the top, and everything else is good.

Beauty is skin deep,only inner beauty and love stand tall above all!!
Filter,can be labelled as one of the most unique drama of all the chinese dramas I have watched so far.I liked it's way of storytelling to convey a message that outer appearance is not important but what matters most is the inner beauty or character of a person.
The whole plot is based on the concept of staying true to ourselves and being real.And ,Filter has really made use of a technology based filter bracelet,which can change appearances,voices and also upgrades everytime with new functions.The best part is that,the drama is designed in a humorous way along with a good message underlying beneath the chaos and confusion.
Li Landing as Su Chengcheng,has given her best performance.She is strong,casual,smart, intelligent,kind, cheerful and also helpful.
Tan Jianci as Tang Qi is awesome 👍 Tang Qi,is serious,smart, intelligent,and also a person who tries to see the end of every matter he deals with.He is a person with high patience levels and also has a loving nature in him.His love only for Su Chengcheng,though she changes appearances,is remarkable and sweet!!
Gu Yu,Lin Yuan,Su Qingli,Su Miao,Fang Jin,Quan Shengtang and her parents and all the actors were excellent.
The music, costumes, locations, everything are good.
Filter is a highly recommended watch for its unique concept of storytelling interlaced with humour to convey that attitude and character of a person are everything.
Excellent drama👍👌

Fabulous show all the way
Love game in eastern fantasy,is an entertaining, engaging,exciting drama from the beginning to the end.It strikes a right balance between love,hate,friendship and siblings bond.Firstly,Ling Miaomiao,the female lead,is taken to ancient times to play the role of Lin Yu,a character from the novel she is currently reading, written by her favourite author,Fu Zhou.There she meets,Mu Yao,Mu Sheng,Liu Fuyi and Cui Cui.The rest of the story deals with how these team of five eliminated evil and restored peace in the world.
The friendship between these five is remarkable and deserves to be the main asset of this drama.They stand by one another,do not give up in any circumstances and are willing to go to great lengths for the rest of the four.Thir bond stands out as the main highlight of this drama.
The plot is well written and executed with a load of twists and turns that unfold at right times and keep us glued to our seats from the start to the end.The plot is very good and strong too with an excellent pace and screenplay.
Esther Yu,is excellent in her role of Miaomiao,She is vibrant,lively,active,caring,loving, amiable,and responsible too.I really loved her character and also her portrayal.She is another main asset of this drama.Be it her cute or confused state,or romantic expressions,she nailed them with perfection.For me,she is the best character in this drama.
Ding Yuxi,Zhu Xudan,Yang Shize and all the other star cast were perfect in their roles and excelled in bringing life to the roles they played
A special mention of Lu Yu Hao,who played Cui Cui .He was cute,helpful and friendly.His affection towards his friends is remarkable.
The costumes were excellent.They matched each and every situation perfectly.
The settings were too good and were very bright.The visual effects were also perfect.
Finally,it is really one of the best dramas I have watched.It is a very very interesting and engaging drama with good comedy also to lift up your moods.A highly recommended drama with a different concept.
A MUST WATCH !!

Feel good modern drama
Flight to you is all a story about flights,pilots,air hostess,ground departments,mechanical engineering and others.Though we travel frequently in flights,I must say I have known everything about flights and their crew in detail after watching this.From training pilots and air hostess to landing and taking off,handling passengers,critical situations and also the health problems of crew involved,all were neatly written.The flow of the drama was good.This is the first time I have known that even flight crew also participate in disaster rescue operations.Those episodes were also good.
Now,coming to actors,Gu Nanting portrayed by Wang Kai has become one of my favourites.Wang Kai was one of those actors who coul show his emotions only through his eyes I am really impressed and also became his fan.Yiu are an exceptional actor👌.
Tan songyun and other actors acted well.
The production values were good, Costumes and locations fitted the story.
Regarding ost,Thinking with you has become my favourite song.I listen to it daily.
Finally,this is a great dramawith beautiful emotions attached to it.I definitely recommend you to watch it.In the air,there is always a story waiting for us to watch👮✈️🛬🛫

Can give it a try if nothing else is interesting to watch
The first episodes were good with the concept of female lead, Xia Xiaolan, time travelling back in times, where she finds herself in a new role alongside a new family, where only her mother is the lone supporter of her, staring against a few challenges, establishing her own career, implementing her business ideas, getting university seat, finding Zhou Cheng, male lead, and rising gradually with the help of her uncle, aunt and mom.At first, it was quite inspiring, motivating, to see Xiaolan trying to change both her fate and the person's life she has landed herself into.
But as the stroy progressed, it seems that there is nothing Xiaolan can predict, none of her judgement goes wrong and every step she takes is bound to become a huge success..
It has become repetitive and boring.
Though I didn't watch the complete drama, but its a good watch atleast for the first 6-7episode,for me.
I may not reqatch it again, anyways, it is strictly my honest opinion.

A decent watch
The shadow detective is a good watch. There may be few boring scenes, plots without logic, flaws in the stroy, but it still manages to keep you watching till the end.There are individual cases solved by the police department and intelligence department as well as a main case which is linked to the female lead past as well as the missing sister of male lead.
Wang Xingyue as usual, was very good in his role. He as Guan Cen, is definitely one of the main plus points of this drama.
All the other actors were good too in their acting.
The screenplay and pacing were good, neither fast nor slow.
The antagonist was quite scary and his acting deserves an applause👏
For me, the female lead's character was a bit let down,otherwise everything else is good.
A one time watch drama for me.

A better execution could have made it a beautiful drama
Love never fails is all about the love story between Jin Xiu, the prince of Midheavens and Hong Ning, a red camellia demon.As they traverse through different lifetimes, they face unprecedented situations, overcome many difficulties, clear misunderstandings, and finally establish peace in the world.
The first 11 episodes deal with immortal arc and to be honest, I was not quite impressed with the way the love track was developed between the leads. Somehow, I couldn't find the female lead to be cute, but was sometimes annoying too.
The next arc, they are master and disciple, which too ends in tragedy. This arc was much better than the heavens, and then they become general and demon hunter in their next life and in the final arc, ascens to the heavens again, where they find out Jin Xiu's true identity, eliminate evil and bring everything to an end.
I felt that, the last 10 episodes were quite interesting, with mysteries unraveling.
The actors were good in their performances, not the best.
The sets and costumes were very grand though.
Only if the execution was a bit better, it could have been a very good drama, but for me its strictly a one-time watch!!

A simple school love and friendship
When I fly towards you is a very simple, light hearted, high school drama that focuses on the friendship of 5 students with a blooming love beteeen 2 couples amongst them.Su Zaizai, Jiang Jia, Zhang Lurang, Gu Ran and Guan Feng,the group of theses 5 is very impressive😍
Their families and their relations are also focused upon, especially I liked the relatiin between Guan Feng and his grandma and also Su Zaizai's parents.
This drama mainly focuses on all our opinions, ideals, friendships, classes, studies, homework, that we go through in our high school days. I liked that the plot was kept simple with no issue dragging on for a long time.
However, what I liked the most are the DIALOGUES of this drama. They are very simply written yet seem to carry a powerful meaning beneath them.
All the cast acting is good. 👌
The music, costumes, locations, all are good.
Looking for a simple, worry free drama, then this one is for you. Recommend to watch it👍

Definitely watchable, imho!!
Fox spirit matchmaker has been kept on my watchlist for a long time, and finally I gave it a try.I am glad that I came back to watch this series.
Despite some loopholes, some flaws and few boring scenes which may not click well, the drama is definitely a MUST WATCH one, given its unique plot and the way the series is woven around the concept of "Love wins over hatred"!!
Unlike other Xianxia dramas, where the the first half proceeds with the hidden identities of the protagonists while the latter half deals with unraveling their past life secrets and powers, this drama is all about the Tushan clan of Fox spirits and the Grief tree and various love stories.
Both the protagonists and antagonist are introduced to us in the beginning itself.
The story mingles love of various couples with mysteries waiting to be unlocked, sacrifices made to deal with the villains and the various emotions of all the characters involved.
The acting, music, special effects, screenplay, plot, costumes, everything were good, imo. 👍
Though I cannot say this is the best xianxia drama, but definitely it can be given a try, atleast, for its story.
On a final note, A GOOD WATCH👌
