There's a lot that I want to praise this show for doing, but I'll try to focus on just a few things. It's a hilarious romantic comedy with two couples that match each other's energy level and humor. Their relationships felt natural. The main couple is especially well written. They tease and cringe at each other's advances, they laugh at the other's flops, they trust in each other, and they support each other. Couples are not only romantically involved, but they are also close friends. The show did a great job at displaying why the duos work. The friendships were incredibly wholesome, especially between Zhou Chuan and Jiang Yu Cheng. Their dynamic really felt like they're siblings: they bicker, they argue, they sass each other, but they'll always support one another.

I truly believe that the actors had a lot of fun with this show. There are small things they do that really gave the characters more depth. If you want a feel good, relaxing, and wholesome time with a lot of laughing-out-loud moments, this show is worth the watch.

Lastly, I've never seen Ding Yu Xi's shows before. His acting style is very refreshing and expressive. I loved it a lot. I'll be looking into his other shows.

My expectations for this show were already high, but the show did a damn good job at hitting those expectations and then exceeded it. The comedic moments were well timed, the pacing was excellent, the sad moments were given the respect that it deserves. Amazing show. It has great acting and I adore the dynamic between all the characters. I highly recommend this show.

While I'm not the target audience for this show (since I'm a little older), I just want to drop my opinion here anyway. The start of the show is interesting, the snappy cinematography was fun, and the story beats reminds me of Western shows like Kick Ass or Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. However, the more I watch, the more I wished that Wang Ye was the main character. He is approachable yet mysterious, silly but hard to read or understand. His fights are beautifully choreographed. The phantasmagoria and the unique magic system that he (and Zhu Ge Qing) uses is so incredibly fascinating. I love the juxtaposition of him being a Taoist Monk that uses modern day things and is a rich kid. Chu Lan/Bao Bao duo was so goofy and fun, but I find myself wanting to know more about Wang Ye and what he can do instead.

First episode, I was like, "Dang, that's some hefty scowl he has." Three episodes later, "Okay, I kinda love it." xD It does help that he is reliable and reasonable, too.

Shi Qi and Xiao Han Sheng portrayed what a wholesome, trusting, and devoted couple should look like while also being really fun and lighthearted. The show doesn't take long to watch, and it will warm you up like a cup of hot cocoa!

You summed it up perfectly. I didn't understand every bit of the show, but that was more on me than anything else. Despite that, the show was so good that I couldn't stop watching. The scenery, the acting, the camera cuts felt so natural. It was as if I'm watching history as it happens. Under the Microscope is a QUALITY show and it truly deserves more traction.

Just finished and I loved it. The show wastes no time and just outright tosses you into the world. The plot was good, the actors were amazing, and the camera work was beautifully done. You can tell that the staff put in a lot of work making the drawing scenes feel seamless and natural. (Makes sense because of Shen Yi.) There are no static or boring scenes that feel flat or dragged out for too long. And the suspenseful scenes are engaging. For me, atmosphere is especially important for crime/mystery shows. It's not a high paced show or a flashy show. If you want to treat yourself to some nice mystery without it being too intense, Under The Skin is definitely worth the watch.

It's been nearly a week since I finished this drama and I still haven't moved on. This show really set the standard for bromance in Chinese dramas for me. I've been taking a break from romance, so MLC was refreshing to watch and was exactly what I needed.

I just finished the show so I'm right there with you. I have many thoughts and am feeling so many emotions... But the sum of it is: this drama was wonderful, but it also broke me.

Unfortunately, I'm still new to the C-drama field. The only other show I've watched from him is My Journey To You. It's just that he has such a distinct artistic style that it is very clear and noticeable. I hope that helps you a little, hehe.

Is it Orchid's voice that bothered you? She starts off that way in the show because she is a flower spirit and her growth was stunted because her roots got damaged. It's meant to represent her innocence and being closed off from everything. She definitely grows more mature over time as she sees more of the world, and to fit the mood of the story. The beginning of the story is really silly, to fit her personality. Then it becomes more serious and dire. The change is slow and gradual.
If you're willing to try it again, I'd suggest just enjoying the silly miscommunications at the start of the show. It's not overly done and I personally find it hilarious.

Be patient. Orchid and Dongfang Qing Cang start off on opposite sides, as enemies. When "enemies-to-lovers" trope is done well, it takes time but it's worth the wait. And, yea, Suz_Suz summarized it perfectly.

It's very clear to see that this is one of Director Guo's work. I love his artistic style of directing. Suspenseful, serious, beautiful, and so much sadness. Definitely worth the watch.

MJTY really got me to pay attention to clothing. Her designs are grand, gorgeous, and clean. She really knows how to elevate the actors' looks in the best possible way!
