Beautiful Drama
It was a very good series. I watched with interest and interest from start to finish. I really like. I also matched the actors. I found them compatible. Activation scenes were also near perfect. Very nice battle scenes, a visual feast, also the double fight scenes were very good.The good hiding of evil in the story, the mystery was very appropriate. Although we knew, but still, we finally said that we did not know. We questioned why. After all, our heroes came to the places they wanted. However, the scenes where they lost their parents and loved ones during their arrival were filled with sadness. There were emotional places where I couldn't hold back my tears. After all, it was beautiful. It was colorful. There was love. There was love. There was sadness. There was mystery. Ambition, intrigue, activation, war, fighting, whatever you call it, it was there. I'm sorry it's over. I recommend it to those who haven't watched it.

The Deposed King
It was a very good film. It was emotional and also entertaining. I enjoyed watching it.It tells the story of a king's fall, exile, the events that befell him, and ultimately his unsuccessful attempt to return and his death. They made it a bit humorous, but also quite dramatic. I both laughed and cried while watching it.
Yu Hae Jin was especially successful. I can say he carried the film almost single-handedly. I also liked Park Ji Hoon. Yoo Ji Tae played the villain well.
I recommend everyone to watch it.

The Female Doctor
First of all, I wouldn't watch short dramas. This is one of the few I've watched. I found it successful. Although it's short, it tells the story of a female doctor working in the Chinese Palace and how she rose to that position. I understood it. I found the success story good. Because it's short, it's superficial, fast-paced, and simple. It doesn't go into detail, which we can see as a shortcoming. Or, we can say that it's better because it's short and simpler to understand.It was a beautiful success story. I found the lead actress, Hong Xiao, successful. She suited the role and carried the series from beginning to end on her own. She gave a good performance. Yang Ze accompanied her well. Zhen Shi Yi was good in the role of the villain. She made me hate her. Xu Zian and Fan Lei also portrayed the villains well. I liked them. Evan Wang was also noteworthy. It's a good series for those who like success-themed dramas. It's very short. I recommend it.

New Customs in the Old Village
This is the first time I've watched a short drama under 30 minutes. I finished it. I enjoyed it very much. It's well-made. You can watch it without getting bored at all. Especially Pan Yi Hong, who single-handedly carried the series, gave a successful performance from beginning to end. I liked it very much. As for the plot, we can say it's the success story of a lower-class man who combines his talent with his work ethic. He does things that even make the princess fall in love with him. He makes the king submit to his wishes. It's structured in this way, and I think it's a successful narrative. However, it's not like there were any flaws. There were, but they were the kind that are forgiven and don't affect the whole series, so they're not dwelled upon. This suits the series. Because it's not an ambitious series. It's a mini-series. The flaws are either not noticeable or not given that much importance in the plot. Apart from that, I also found Zhu Rong Jun to be successful. Fan Meng was very, very good. She suited her role very well. She also acted beautifully. Mou Hai Yan ki Sun played the mother. I want to express that I liked her portrayal of a pure old woman very well. The masterful artist has captured that innocence, greed, condescension, oppression, and reckless courage perfectly. Congratulations. I recommend it to those who haven't seen it. It's a good, entertaining series.Was this review helpful to you?
The love between a mortal and an immortal.
First of all, I enjoyed watching it. I liked it. In short, the plot is about the love between a mortal and an immortal. I liked the series, but of course, it's not without flaws. Some parts really tired me out. I didn't like it, but I watched it anyway. I especially couldn't understand how a less capable person could challenge a ruler, overthrow him, set traps, and humiliate him. Then, he easily eliminated him. This revealed a contradiction. There were many such things. Similarly, it was strange that a mortal was given powers that an immortal couldn't have. But the series is fantasy, they said, "play it however you want." And that's what they did. Some things need to fit the story. Without them, a sense of unity isn't achieved. There's a disconnect. Apart from that, the direction, props, costumes, action, and acting were all very good. I liked it. Especially Miles Wei; he's very well-suited to playing the villain. He acts well. I must say I liked him first. As for Dilraba, the queen role suited her very well; such weighty roles suit her very well. She also had good chemistry with Arthur Chen. Arthur is a very tall actor, and Dilraba was a perfect match for him. They made a great duo; I can say they got along well both physically and emotionally. I liked both of them. Similarly, Zhang Li was very beautiful. She acted very well and with great chemistry. Baron Chen was given a nice image; I liked his image first and foremost. And him as well. Gao He Yuan also suits these roles very well. I've seen him in similar roles many times. I wasn't surprised. Ding Jia Wen and Fu Bo Han (the young actor) were the actors who caught my attention. I recommend it to those who haven't seen it.Was this review helpful to you?
Similarly, a woman is executed by being dragged from all sides by horses and torn apart. I know that such a practice is done to traitors. It's something applied in cases of the most serious crimes. Here, an emperor who kills people for not submitting to him, and a tragic scene involving a woman to catch these people. It's unbelievable. It's filled with every bad example imaginable. It's as if the emperor is the most cruel of the cruel, committing all kinds of atrocities for his own benefit. To portray this by doing things that are inhuman and unspeakable. I condemn it. I condemn the screenwriter. Hiding behind a historical drama and writing such sadistic approaches and showing them to the audience is not rational. It's psychopathy. Even suggesting these things is wrong. It's a bad example. Children watch these dramas too. WRONG. It's a shame for the actors. Ou Hao, Hai Ling, and the other actors gave very good performances. Don't watch it. I don't recommend it.

How are you? I'm fine, and you?
I was bored when I started watching the series and didn't watch it for a while. Then I started again and watched it with interest and curiosity. It was an interesting series. A different subject was chosen, and the events developed around it. I didn't like some parts. But I liked the idea. Its uniqueness intrigued me.The cinematography was good, the direction was good, the actors were good, the costumes were good, and the makeup was good.
However, when it deviates from reality, the interest in the subject decreases. The fact that the same young actor played the king's son in his childhood created confusion. I had to struggle to understand whether these scenes were from the present or the past. It was confusing. I didn't like it.
Besides, these flashbacks, jumps to clarify certain issues, and long conversations became tiresome. Because there were too many, it reduced the effectiveness of the series. When the possibility of the king and queen dying at the same time came up, the queen said she would trade her life. How is that possible? There are such nonsensical and unrealistic things. Like becoming king with a face mask. Like a face transplant. Impossible things were made to happen. I didn't like it. The scenes of the mute little boy poisoning the queen felt contrived. It didn't work.
The queen finally disbands the harem. That is, she frees the king's concubines, setting them free to remarry and do whatever they want. Has there ever been a monogamous empire in Chinese imperial history that disbanded its harem like this? Or has there ever been one that disbanded its existing harem? I understand some people saying they should reduce the number of wives, or have only one or two wives. But this is the first time I've heard of one disbanding an existing one. It has no basis in reality.
I liked the actors. I especially liked Ryang Chang. She beautifully blended good and evil, sympathy and cruelty, imbuing them with meaning and portraying them successfully. She's a very comedic actress. She should be given more opportunities. Wang Chu Ran was very well-suited as the queen. She played the role well. I don't think Tang Xiao Tian was a suitable actress for this role. But she played it well, gave a different image, I'm not saying anything about her acting, but I didn't like her in this role. I didn't find her suitable for the role. I sensed tension in her scenes with Wang Chu Ran. I might be wrong, but they weren't compatible. They put on a performance with a "let's just get this over with" attitude. Hu Yi Xuan was very good. She was very successful in her role. I liked her. Cui Yi was very successful. I liked her. Louis Fan was also very successful. He was especially good in the action scenes. I also liked the other supporting roles, even the younger actors. They were all very good. I recommend it to anyone who wants to watch it.

Life at the foot of the Altai Mountains
It was a beautiful series. I watched it with pleasure and curiosity. It affected me. Because I am Turkish. I live in Türkiye. This series takes place in the foothills of the Altai Mountains, I think in the autonomous Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It's adapted from, or inspired by, the lifestyle of the Uyghur Turks. It depicts snippets from the life of a girl whose mother runs a shop in this rural area. This girl, Wen Xiu, wants to be a writer. She keeps a diary of her days there. She falls in love with Batay, a Kazakh Turk living in the region. That's the story told. The narrative is simple and straightforward. The rural landscape of the region is depicted with poster-like beauty; the cinematography was extraordinary. The lifestyle of the region is also portrayed; I found it similar to our own customs and traditions. We still have some of these customs. I think the families living there are Muslim and they celebrate Eid al-Adha. They go up to the highlands. They have horse races. They have fair-like celebrations. It's considered an old Turkish custom, but the tradition of a brother marrying his sister-in-law when his older brother dies is reflected here. Such customs no longer exist. There are no coercions, but they did until about 80 years ago. I don't know if anyone still practices it, but there's no obligation. The laws don't allow it. It's not a widely accepted practice.Besides depicting environmental factors and the lifestyle there, the scene shows a lonely woman needing a man and perceiving this need as love, resisting her daughter's objections and pointing out her flaws, but siding with her daughter when she's in a difficult situation. Also, the scene of a man forced to shoot his horse because it dragged and injured his beloved daughter was impactful. These were dramatic scenes. However, because they weren't explored in depth or sensationalized, they were handled simply and plainly. I think that was a good thing. Otherwise, the series wouldn't have ended in 8 episodes; it would have been much longer. I understood the aim to show the life and customs there from an outsider's perspective. And that was well done.
A thief, a scoundrel, was portrayed, perhaps even a traitor, because bad things happen there sometimes. It was a good example of how they exploit the good intentions of innocent people by deceiving them, and also their emotions. The actor was portrayed as repulsive because of this. I really saw the repulsiveness, but I didn't understand how a woman could be so desperate to love this man. That's the kind of role Jing Qing Mi played. She did the role well. She was very repulsive. The acting was also simple and understated. No one was overly dramatic; everyone acted comfortably. They didn't struggle with their acting. Ma Yi Li stood out in this simplicity. I liked her unpretentious but heartfelt performance. I think she was the best.
I recommend it to those who like this type of drama.

The Japanese occupation episode is complete nonsense. It ruined the series. The Japanese thought they could deal with the villagers by giving their own village men the rank of captain. That's the Japanese mentality. It was terrible. This bad boy went everywhere, disguised himself in every way. He did everything wrong. He was finally caught. Yet, so many innocent people died. He should have been the first to be killed. The wrong people suffered in the wrong place.
The actors really did a great job. Yang Mi was very successful at the beginning. Ou Hao was also very good. I liked it. Qin Hai Lu really surpassed himself in this series. Well done. Xing Fei was very good. He portrayed a different character beautifully. I wouldn't have recognized him from his image. He was very different. Zhang Tian Yang was very successful. Chi Peng was like he'd always been like this. He suited his role very well. I liked it. I really liked San Shao Long. Ni Da Hong, Patrick Zhang, Lan Ying Ying, Zhao Da, Pan Zhi Lin, Song Jia Lun, Gao Yu Qing were the standout performers. My rating is 8. I wish I could give it a 10. The screenwriter ruined the series, especially in the later episodes. It's a shame.

Parallel universe?
Our series is handled very simply, again a simple story, first of all, a person who comes from the past to the future and changes some things, and also a mysterious event such as finding the perpetrator of the attempted murder. Both fantasy and mystery are added, but here the events are so simplified that it gives the impression that I would have made this series.Nothing is pursued, excessive research, chasing, insisting, forcing, harassing, beating, swearing, such as things that constantly overwhelm the person are avoided. The event is handled in a simple manner and an attempt is made to end it with simplicity.
In particular, a mistake such as the lack of respirators when the woman who owns the restaurant was taken from the Intensive Care Unit to the ward was overlooked. They say that there is no room in the intensive care unit, we will have to take you to the ward, but the patient, who is equipped with all kinds of equipment in the intensive care unit, is left with a serum in the normal ward. I leave the evaluation to the audience and those who manage this. Do you think it will happen? He could not breathe there, but his breathing is very good in the normal ward, sir, why should we put the devices on? What is it? A very obvious mistake. I'm not counting the other simple things. Simplicity was prioritized. A plain narrative was adopted. I said, I got the impression that a new director was told to shoot this series and start his career and see how it will be. There was such simplicity, such plainness in the series and there was no room for embellishment, exaggeration, excess, acting, or going deeper. The director also learned how to shoot a series with this series, did his internship, or maybe the scriptwriter is the same. These are my guesses. My inferences. That's it. I'm not saying it's definite. I'm saying it gave me that impression. The actors' roles were also plain and simple. There was no exaggeration. There was no very good acting. There was no very famous actor. Lee Sae On and Lee So Min seemed to me to be a little more suited to their roles, settled in, and better. That's all. Our veteran actors did their job. But anyone can watch it to pass the time without expecting much. I watched it. I smiled, but my eyes got wet at some points. I was also curious. But don't expect too much.

Saint
Generally speaking, I can say that I watched a good series. Because I waited for the next episode with curiosity and watched the whole thing. This means that there is something. However, this does not mean that our series is wonderful. No. Unfortunately, there are many mistakes. Especially the logical mistakes drove me crazy while watching. Think about it, the emperor of the country, his sister is doing everything but he is not aware of it. When it happens, he forgives. Then he dies as a trouble for him. I do not know if there is such indifference. Would an emperor forgive someone who made so many mistakes, committed murder, wanted to kill or killed his children, wives, and closest relatives, including himself? I would not forgive. If you forgive him, would he bury him in the family cemetery when he dies? If you bury him, would he bury him with the most noble title? The writer of this series wrote this series with a very stupid way of thinking, with the attitude of doing everything that cannot be done. It did not work for me. An enemy is created, the sister of an emperor, but she is worth the whole country, she comes out from under every rock, does everything, kills, beats, imprisons, tortures, does all kinds of evil. She even challenges the emperor, scolds him, reprimands him, makes him do what she says. It's too much. It's not. If you call her his daughter, she also kills people when she gets bored. Her mother says don't do it, my daughter, but she also laughs slyly. She says who does she take after.Everyone knows what she does, but the emperor is not told. Even if it is told, the image is created that he wouldn't believe it. But it was told in the end. It was told, so what happened, he imprisoned the emperor. The image of an incompetent emperor has been created up to this point. His children are like that.
Although the Azize incident seemed to be taken quite seriously at the beginning, it later faded away and could not be sustained. It became annoying. It ended with peace in the end. It ended well. In other words, the best episode was the last episode. In my opinion, it also gave the image of a dull series. The series went back and forth. I can also say that it progressed slowly. There was a love theme, but although the love in the lead roles was handled, it seemed to me that it fell behind the loves in the secondary roles. For example, the love of the girl's brother was a little cheerful and a little disconnected, but I liked how they approached each other. The love of the blind princess and the judge was also very naive. There were also nice jokes. I liked the jokes. But I didn't like the relationship of the lead actors. Our lead actress couldn't show her role properly under very heavy make-up. Maybe it was just me. I found Jing Tian low. Zhang Wan Yi was better. I think he is a sought-after actor in such roles anyway. He has many series like this and I watched them all. He was the same in all of them. Nothing has changed. Zhang Chi is both an actor who is close to humor and a good actor in terms of complementarity. I liked it. I wouldn't want to see Xu Hao in this role. I found it strange from the beginning. But I can say that it was not bad. Bai King Ke is a very young actor. I think he is preparing for the lead role. He draws attention with his physique. Dominant roles suit him. He is promising for the future. Cui Hang was remarkable. I liked it. CAo Fei Ran, Xuan Yan, Huang Yi, Xia Qian, Lin Jing, Deng Ying, Ji Hao, Wu Mian, Gua Tao were the actors that looked good to me. I liked the cast. The direction, the costumes, the action were all very good.

Two halves of a fruit
It was a good series in general. I enjoyed watching it. However, there were aspects that I did not like, found heavy, and even repetitive. The many flashbacks were dizzying. They died once and were reborn once. Explaining the differences between them was like a separate episode. It was boring. However, it was well-acted, a good image was created in terms of direction, it never smirked, every fantasy element was used beautifully, whether it was the fight scenes or the teleportations. I liked it. The story got a little confusing. Being scattered in many directions caused the story to fall apart. While the relationship between a cult leader and his student was told, the student became the master and the master became the student, and our series became even more fantastical. On top of that, the pasts of these two, their relationships with other events on the one hand, and the extensions of that relationship came into play, and the story got longer and longer, and finally, it came to a demon escaping from the immortal world wreaking havoc, and we watched his intrigues. It did not work out as it started. It did not continue like that. I want to say this. It ended happily. This was pleasing. Secondly, although the depiction of love was a bit fragmented, the sincerity of the relationship was emphasized. It was reinforced. In other words, they could not separate the lovers. There were also interesting things. For example: Ran Wu, one of the siblings who was reborn from a fruit, threatens the other person by saying, "Don't do anything to me if something happens to you, or Ran Ran will die", while he tries to kill the character Ran Ran. If so, won't you die if you kill this person? These were contradictions, for example. I don't know if it was overlooked or done on purpose. Some things like this caught my eye. Again, this character Ran Wu, who was a very clumsy, clueless, jealous, envious character, who was alone, couldn't do any magic, teleportation, this or that, suddenly turned into a character who knew everything and even fought head-to-head with his sister and other characters, deceived everyone, defeated them, and became a threat, it was very fantastic. If he had been trained at least a little. If he had been taught something. I thought, wouldn't it have been better if he had been given and done these things? These were all overlooked. This character was later loaded with a lot of knowledge, power, invincibility, was it a divine gift? Did these come from the sky? No attention was paid to these, Our series is fantastic but there is a method, a plot, a beginning, development, and a conclusion. I wrote it and it happened. Sorry, our writer, but these did not happen. Especially this character was loaded with a lot of things, I did not understand why. What is the logic behind suddenly changing the person to contrast the sister, don't you have a way? Does everything happen with I did it and it happened? Or should a method be followed? I could not see these. Also, Uncle Ye Xin, who raised these two girls, suddenly appeared before us as the planner of everything, the person behind it, the evil spirit and the demon. I was surprised. He seemed very good and helpful. It was said that he planned these from the beginning. He set the place on fire. I did not know. But the characters were portrayed well, I liked the cast. Our leading roles, especially Deng Wei, were very suitable for the role and were successful in their function. Julia Xiang was very cheerful. Chen Xin Hai was a bit passive in the first half, namely the first 20 episodes, but in the second 20, she portrayed both sad, melancholy, evil, helpless, ambitious, ruthless, and fetishist characters very well in one go, I liked it. Congratulations. In other words, the actor portrayed the character of a person who learned that he was going to die especially towards the end. Well done. I also liked Deng Kai in terms of image. I also laughed a lot at him. I admired how he brought the two opposite poles together so beautifully, making his character both ruthless and funny. His image suited him, and I found him very prone to comedy. Losing his image and remaining with his own face was as if he had undressed and was naked. His image was better. Similarly, Cheng Zi, who played the woman he loved and her subordinate, also suited his image very well. When his image was erased, he seemed to have no character. I liked his portrayals. I watched a lot of Ai Mi's dramas. She usually appeared in maid roles. She has now moved from child actress to supporting roles, she was very successful in her role and played it flawlessly. Her infrastructure is strong, she is very experienced now. I don't know if it is because of her height, but she should be seen as the LEAD ACTOR by now. Those a year or two older than her have already made progress. I think Ai Mi is being treated unfairly. She has a very beautiful and innocent face. I think she should be used. But if there is such a thing as 1.65 height, I don't know of course. I find it suitable. I wanted to say this. Also, the master actor Ray Chang was very successful in his role. I would like to see him in these roles often. The role suits him very well. His image was also very good. He went for his role. Congratulations. In other words, I gave 8 points for the sake of acting and effort. I recommend it to those who haven't watched it, to fantasy lovers.Was this review helpful to you?
Kim Ji Eun's male performance
It was a good series in general. I watched it without getting bored. However, there were many mistakes and parts that were covered with things beyond our logic. The story was structured in two ways. The first was about students doing an internship at an inn and the events that happened to them there. The second was about events related to a mystery. The facts and consequences behind this.I liked the mystery part. The school-like parts didn't really grab me. It seemed simple. It seemed childish. It seemed absurd. A lot of things came up thinking we would make fun of them. It didn't work. But the mystery part was very good. However, in the last episodes, the prince gathering the ministers and those who were interested in revealing the facts behind the events in front of the King, giving them a speech, inviting them to the right path, asking them to apologize, asking them to confess their crimes, exposing the King, including his father, and calling them traitors, in my opinion, was very absurd, even supernatural, beyond fantastic. It is impossible to imagine such a thing being structured, no king would allow it, he would kill him immediately. A father would not forgive his son, a son would not forgive his father. It was such an environment. There were similar incidents. These were glossed over, and they hurt the series' good progress. In the end, the series ended well. The actors were good. Even Kim Ji Eun, who appeared as a man from the beginning to the last episode, appeared as a woman in the last episode. We are so used to her as a man that it felt strange. I didn't like her as a woman. She suited her role to that extent. I especially liked Kim Eui Sung's image, who played the role of Cheon. The role he portrayed with this image was extraordinary. It was an award-winning performance. I congratulate the actor. The other actors were also good. I liked the cast.
