Really enjoyed it

I really enjoy watching this show. It's just so fun to watch. All the challenges they have to face are great and I feel everyone performs very well and make it very entertaining. I love the whole cast, they all have such amazing qualities and cbined together, they are the best. There isn't one that I don't like. Perfect group. I really enjoyed the addition of Dilraba this season, I was very impressed by her ability, she really gave it her all. I did miss Angelababy in episodes 1-7 but was glad to see Dilraba continue when Angelababy returned. Overall the eight of them were excellent. I just wish Dilraba continued on the show for at least one more season but as I said, I was glad she got to do one full season. I would happily watch it again as I laughed so much throughout the whole season. Well done to everyone involved in this.

Excellent show

At first I wasn't sure about this show. For me it started off quite slow and I was thinking about dropping it but I am a fan of Deng Lun so I decided to keep watching. I am really glad I did. The drama got so much better and I couldn't stop watching. I admit I did skip some scenes but the majority I did watch and I loved it.

For the cast, I think everyone who participated in this drama deserve high praise. Each and every one of them were fantastic. I want to give extra praise to Deng Lun as Shao Peng Cheng, Angelababy as Cheng Zhen Zhen, Zhang Wan Yi as Fu Xiao Ning, Li Xin Yi as Hao Mei Li and Tian Xi Wei as Xi Shan. The five of them really excelled for me. Towards the end when it was just the five of them in the company and they were working really hard together, for me they were they best scenes. I loved seeing the five of them work so well together. That is why I want to give them all very high praise.

I would happily watch the show again down the line especially the scenes I mentioned above.

If you are debating whether or not to watch this drama, I definitely recommend that you should. Just have a little patience and hang in there at the start as it does get so much better and well worth watching.

Amazing show. The cast was perfect, couldn't have chosen a better group. The chemistry between them all were awesome and they worked together perfectly. In some shows, I feel that some members get left out but in this I felt like everyone was included every step of the way which was nice to see . The connection between Deng Lun and Wei Daxun especially was so fun to watch. I really hope that the two do more things together. I didn't want the show to end but I had to watch it all as it was too good to stop. I wish season 2 had the same people but from what I've heard, only some are the same.

Very enjoyable show.

At first I wasn't too sure about this drama. It took me a while to watch the first 10 episodes and I was thinking about dropping it. I am really glad I didn't and ended up sticking with it. The rest of the drama was absolutely amazing in my opinion. As soon as one episode ended, I had to start watching the next. The whole cast is fantastic. They all did an amazing job. Simon Gong has been a favourite of mine and was the reason why I ended up watching this in the first place but I ended up liking everyone involved. The FL mother is amazing. I've seen her in a few things and have always thought she does an amazing job with her characters. In this, she is perfect. I wasn't too much a fan of FL guy friend or the girl who wanted to be with ML but the actors played their parts well. I definitely recommend giving this a watch.

Starting great

I really enjoyed watching this show from the beginning. The four main characters were absolutely amazing. Deng Lun was excellent as always. Sandra Ma was perfect. Han Tong Sheng played the father brilliantly, especially loved the scenes with him and Deng Lun with their love hate relationship. Ni Hong Jie played her part very well. To be fair the whole cast were great. There was only one character I didn't like at all and felt that the character to be annoying and would have rather that the character wasn't a part of the show. That character was Shi Ru Jing. Every scene she was in, I skipped over. Every scene she appeared in, I kept thinking that it wasn't necessary and I just wanted to skip it. Skipping her scenes didn't ruin any story so for me, she wasn't needed.

Now the reason I dropped this drama when I did was because Deng Lun's character ended up having Shi Ru Jing as his agent. For me, that ruined the show. Everything the main four went through together felt pointless for him to just change his agent and go with her. Every episode felt like a waste, what is the point in investing all that time with them through everything they went through, all for him to just leave them for her. Yes she helped him with his career, that's great but for me, I felt like all those episodes to that point were for nothing. That is why I won't be watching the last few episodes.

I invested my time in those four characters working hard together for nothing. I think it would have been better for the four to stick together and end up succeeding as a family. Not for him to just go with another agent to be successful.

Overall, it was a great show up until that point. From that point, I felt like I wasted a lot of time watching and investing in the characters.

Enjoyable

I really enjoyed watching this variety show. There were a lot of laughs and the cast had great chemistry. It was fun watching them take on the challenges. Made me laugh a lot. I think the cast were great, they seemed to all get along very well. The only problem for me was Wang Kai. It was annoying to see him constantly paired or grouped with Lin Yun. I would have preferred if they grouped them with other people more instead of always together as it was boring to watch them constantly in a team. Everyone else seemed to get grouped with everyone else so they weren't with the same people. It was just Wang Kai who was constantly with Lin Yun so that was a let down. Wei Da Xun was a highlight for me. He is always enjoyable to watch. My score for the cast would have been higher if it wasn't for Wang Kai. Overall it is a good show, I am just picky I guess with certain elements. I would recommend watching it though.

Awful

Nothing good about this show at all. I think it was pointless even doing this. I wouldn't waste your time.

Dropped. Didn't even finish one episode let alone both of the episodes as I was bored the entire time and just kept thinking how this didn't need to be made.

Don't like any of the cast.

Since reviews need to be 500 characters and I don't have anything else to say I'm going to repeat myself.

Don't waste your time on this as it isn't good and definitelt not enjoyable.

Disappointing

I fell in love with season 1. The whole group dynamic was amazing. This season, the group dynamic is nowhere near as good. I really tried to watch it and get into it but I just couldn't. Nowhere near as good as season 1. The group dynamic helped me enjoy the show even more. This season just doesn't have it.

For the cast members, Wowkie Zhang and Justin were very irritating and annoying. Justin kept trying to get close to Deng Lun (just how Deng Lun and Wei Da Xun were together in season 1) and it was just annoying. Yang Mi was ok but she did get on my nerves at times. The only likeable cast member this season is Deng Lun and that is why I gave a 2 for cast purely for him.

(In my opinion, they should have waited until everyone from season 1 was available so they could all be together again or have an entirely new group of people to form a bond together. Having a few returning and added a couple new ones just doesn't work in my opinion)

Therefore I am dropping this season.

If a season 3 is made, I really hope that Deng Lun, Wei Da Xun and Xie Yilin are involved as they are the three that make the show so much more enjoyable. The rest of the cast I don't really care about.
