Vin Zhang so cool....
One word for this drama. Wow... I've never been more enchanted by Vin Zhang. Vin Zhang here is so cool... At that age played this kind of role & be this good is really something.One thing this drama plot is not conventional, where the male lead (ML) is a good man. Here is the opposite the ML is the bad guy in the drama. Seeing how the ML never change until the end is really something, usually they became better or good man in the end. How the ending of this drama also really perfect. The ending gives me chill...
I also like dilireba here. She's not acting cute like her usual drama. In my opinion she and Vin Zhang give their best performance here.
I also like the romance between Gongsun Li / Lady Li and the king / Ying Zheng. How the hate became tolerance and eventually became love. The acting between dilireba and Vin Zhang also very supple, because they already in a lot of drama together so no awkwardness here.
But sometimes the more i think the darker this drama became. When we really want to take time to ponder the plot its actually the psychological condition where the victim became depend with the kidnapper, sometimes they became 'fall in love' with the kindapper ^_^.
So if you looked for drama that different from usual drama plot watch this. This is a very good drama to escape from boring plot. If you also looked for romance, this drama also offer that to you, enough romance but not too overwhelm. If you fans of dilireba and Vin Zhang of course you have to watch this drama, give you new perspective to them. ^_^

Mermaid story wanna be
First of all this drama actually quite interesting. They kinda smash typical drama about past connection, past relationship, etc...This drama reminding me of mermaid story. No, not little mermaid, but the real mermaid story where the prince falling in love with other girl, not the one saved him from the ocean. Because in here Ye Fei Mo (FM) also recognize the wrong woman who saved him from the ocean. But this is still drama where the real heroin & prince in the end lived happily ever after. :)
What i like from this drama:
* They not to make the plot too complicated with the story of how FM looked for the girl who saved him from the ocean. This is what i mean with smashing typical drama about past connection. Usually they will make thing complicated with the love rivalry between Han Hui (HH) & Wen Xiao Nuan (WN), the story will be surround how HH make FM keep remembering about how she saved him, etc... But in here no. Just as much as needed. :)
* The friendship between FM & Gu Yun Zhou also WN & Wang Jia Yi. The friendship where they build morale of each other.
* FM's mom. She is funny & witty. Like some of the writter here, she is also the one I like the most in this drama
What i not too like:
* Even though i like they not make thing too complicated with the story of how FM looked for the girl who saved him from the ocean, but if only they make it surface earlier it will be better. They only bring the story to light at the really really the end of the drama.
* The duration is too short. 30 min each ep is too short.... :( :p
Overall: This is a good drama. Quite entertaining, some scene make me cry & laugh. But somehow they also make me fast forward several scene even though the scene are the important scene, especially some last episode. So yeah good drama but of course not re-watch material.

Bored maybe just like Sammi write in their review, kinda bored how the Female lead just the way she is until the end, without development at all. Or maybe because I can already guess where the story will develop, so nothing surprise me.
So yeah.... Watched this drama if you are the fans of the actor not for the story.

Extra episode not needed
Can you imagine you as a woman but you can't cry...? I as a woman imagine myself can't cry really difficult & maybe nearly impossible. Because as Yuan Shuai (YS) said in the drama, as a woman we sometimes cure ourselves with tears. So yeah, as a woman, I feel really hard not be able to cry. Sorry for all the other woman who are not agreed with me. :)So yeah the story itself already kinda intrigue me to watch. Plus It's kinda interest me with different style of Leo Luo in acting after I saw him in Ashes of Love. ^_^. Quite happy to watch this drama. I can see Leo Luo in friendly, kind & protective person, very different from his role in Ashes of Love. Some scene also make me full of laughter, especially when YS meet Jiang Jun (JJ) mom, very funny...
This drama is about love, ambition and family background. Why family background...? Because in this drama we can see how our family actually effect us without we realize it. Be patient... I'll explain what I mean :)
For me one of the most interesting part in this drama, apart from the plot & romance between the couple, is maybe Li Xiao Chuan (XC) theory about 100% match love couple. Yeah every one of us want to meet our 'soulmate' which better if (s)he is our the 100% match with us. Why...? Maybe as we can see in this drama with 100% match between YS & JJ they have more common with each other, which we hope can more equal or have more interest with us so we will have fewer argument etc. But of course not all of us have meet our 'soulmate', sometimes we meet our 1% match like XC & Xu Li (XL). Can it be work out? With 1% match like XC & XL we have to work harder for our relationship than with 100% match like YS & JJ. But in the end, as my opinion, whatever level of % match with our partner, neither can be work when we're not put our heart in there ^_^.
Ok. Back to family background what I mean in earlier. Our main antagonist is Du Lei (DL). At first he finally sick of his family who kinda teach him to do everything in order to get everything (i kinda forget but something like that). At first his heart feel kinda guilty for what he did to JJ's dad. But in the end we can see, he still do the same stupid action that against the law, like what he been taught from his childhood, even though he doesn't like it.
I drop the star in the story because I think the last 5 episode is really not needed. This drama could end up at 30 or the most 32 episode if they tightening the story. The last 5 episode is only to show us the real color of DL & extended romance of our couple. If the story end at episode 31 it will be really beautiful & perfect, really doesn't make sense to extended it until 5 more episode. Very disappointing there.
Overall I actually quite enjoy this drama. This drama quite funny & sweet & I like to re-watch some episode. But do I suggest you to watch...? Hm... If they ended it at episode 31 I'll gonna say with wholehearted to watch this, but the last 5 episode quite bother me. So if you want to watch the actor in this drama, you want to watch funny & refreshing drama you may watch it, but not watch it also not really something you miss.

Every actor play their role very good. Although I already guess the end of the story, but there's still some stories they can tell us.
Weirdly although this state this is south korea drama, but all the artist, language, even cooking nothing represent Korea, all represent china ^_^
Overall: for you who like to watch show like master chef, top chef or anything cook show related, this movie is for you. Just watch this.

Story about dream
Really excited finally can watch this drama. Recently I find myself quite adored actress janice wu, never disappointed with her drama.This drama for me divided into 3 part. First part where they find their [Li Yu Bing (LYB) & Tang Xue (TX)] childhood memories & fall in love with each other. Second part, the lovey-dovey part, which sometimes funny & adorable. Third part, about their dream, reality & how to finally reach it.
This drama tell us the struggle of an athlete, especially when you are in the single person sport like Yu Yan not in the group sport like LYB where you still have your teammate to support you. Part from the struggle as an athlete of course there is their love life. Each couple have their own problem & I feel it quite true to reality.
Couple story:
* LYB & TX: After they became couple, LYB have to face the reality TX dad not agree with their relationship due to childhood story & the concern of a father about LYB choice of career. But heart to heart talk solve this problem & they get both of their parent support 100%.
* Xia Meng Huan (MH) & Liao Zhen Yu (ZY): Their problem is ZY too much stick on to MH & MH realize it & MH suggest ZY to find another thing for ZY to do. Yes couple sometimes too much stick to each other & finally doesn't realize their own dream & only know how to support their couple.
* Zhang Yue Wei (WW) & Jiang Shi Jia (SJ): When your focus only to someone sometimes you forget to notice your surrounding, is there anyone else for us then the one we keep our focus...? Their problem also classic friend into couple, what happen if I tell her/him my feeling, good if they accept us but what will happen if we got rejected...?
* Ye Liu Ying (YLY) & Deng Jian Guo (DJG): When you already find the one suit you no matter what they look like they're the one for you...
What I love about this drama:
- The relationship between TX & LYB not that instant, they tell us stories about how that's happen. And when they together they're so sweet. & also pleased they together not on the end of the series, so we can see the lovey-dovey relationship ^_^
- Love the chemistry between all the couple, LYB & TX, MH & ZY, WW & SJ, Ye Liu Ying (YLY) & Deng Jian Guo (DJG). They even make story about their Coach love story.
- The past story in the end credit, a little bit miss it when they stop make the past story. Very adorable when see LYB act like a little kids when they change the child LYB & TX into their adult self.
- How they instantly make some scene into funny, it's like the writer didn't want us too much linger on some romance or sad scene. After some romance or sad scene they instantly give us funny & sometime even awkward scene. Especially when LYB parent follow him & caught him dating TX, very funny & awkward for the couple. ^_^
Btw for you who still wonder about Xu Feng or Ice god connection from Ashes of love, I can tell you they have no connection except the same name & actor who played it. They even forget Xu Feng at ashes of love is not ICE GOD he is FIRE GOD. But however still happy to see Deng Lun here, his purpose here only to help promote the drama. :)
Overall: This is a drama where each character learns how to grow into their better selves, while not forget to achieve their own dream. Very good & funny drama yet full of meaning. :)

This is one of the sweetest romance drama that I've watched so far. Even though the age difference between the couple (in the drama or real life) quite far but the interaction between them really sweet and make you quite jealous.Watch the trailer really intrigue my interest to watch this drama, although I don't too like Rosy Zhao I still decided to watch because of the trailer. Really glad I watch this ^_^. Either way whoever the actor I still gonna watch because this turn out the drama of the movie that I've watched already.
What I like from this drama are:
- The relationship between the main couple is really sweet. Even though Gu Sheng Nan (GSN) sometimes a little bit childish but Lu Jin (LJ) is very patient with her. As time went by GSN showed more maturity, especially when LJ mom test her.
- GSN is very cute & childish.
- The second lead couple [Meng Xin Jie (XJ) and Xu Zhao Di (ZD)] is really cute in their own way.
- Gao Quan An (lao qiu) is very funny.
- The love rival, Li Man or Cheng Zi Qian, not too much.
- The relationship a little match reality, LJ mom not that easy agreed with their relationship, still give them hardship & test for GSN, but she's also not too cruel to GSN.
- LJ still stand by GSN side no matter what happen.
- The story not only about them (LJ & GSN), but also about the family, especially LJ family.
Overall I really like this drama, but if you ask me do I want to re-watch or no....? I'll answer: not really. Even though this is a really good drama, but don't know why I don't want to re-watch even only few episode...

un-fit title
First time I can't guess the ending of a drama. Really different from what I imagine. Also the title is really not fit with the plot of the drama, don't understand why they choose this as the title. What do you imagine when you read Cinderella Chef...? I imagine she became Cinderella because of her skill as a Chef. But no..... This is really far far away from that title. Yes she find 'prince charming' because of her cook, but the story not end after she find her 'prince charming', she still have through hell before find her happily ever after ^_^. Actually the plot quite good, maybe also can chance our perspective about Cinderella itself.This drama for you who bored with cheesy romance & bored plot. I guarantee this drama you can't guess what happen until the end. I usually like to jump a few episode forward to see if my guess about the plot is correct or not. This is the first drama when I jump few episode forward still confuse me & I still don't understand the plot at all... With this drama you really have to watch episode by episode, but bored never in my head when I watch this.
Ye Jia Yao (JY) is the picture of modern woman who is very independent & strong. Xia Chun Yu (CY) typical ancient man with modern thought. But I really like they chemistry together. The other couple that i like of course He Lian Jing & Ah Ruan, they so cute & funny together. :)

I've want to watch this drama for quite sometime, but just like what i've expected, i must prepare my heart for all the intense & anticipation in this drama. Right now i've fed up & bored enough for watch all the romance drama, so this why i decided to watch this drama.
The ending of this drama far beyond what i expected. But what a perfect ending for this drama. Very good & interesting drama for you who looked for something different. But prepare your heart & mind, because this drama will sometimes make u question about ur insanity.
The only lack in this drama is: the language. When they're in U.S. it just like everyone automatically speak or at least understand chinese... Yeah the foreigner reply with english, but when the main cast speak they still speak in mandarin. What a perfect world where everyone understand ur language... ^_^

my first impression of this drama is kinda like hotel del luna. Even the main cast give me a little similar vibe too. But the more i watched the more i feel the different. But for sure i still more like del luna than this. The story itself quite good with the surprise twist in the end. Turn out everybody connection is closer than you think. Several scene quite funny too.
Overall this is a good drama which tell you karma is a b***h so don't mess up with it cause it can bite you back ^_^. if you don't know what to watch, just watch this drama, because this drama is so short only 12 ep long.

elephant in the room
This is one of the funniest drama i watch this year. This drama give me a good laugh from the first until the last episode. Yeah this drama have some error in the plot but really good & refreshing drama to watch. ^_^This drama is about friendship, trauma, how debt from past effect your present relationship. This drama give us view how actually damaging to hide a lie, even just a white lie, in the relationship. You must let go the elephant in the room for make the relationship much better.
What good:
- a very good chemistry between the cast
- very funny plot & scene
- Very unique plot
- other couple except the main couple is so cute & adorable
What bad/lack:
- Why the main lead (Shen Yi (SY)) just willingly help Meng Hui (MH) from the first where he didn't know who is she.
- The changing character of SY is a little bit fickle. In reality people can't change that drastically in that little time.
- Not enough tension when the hidden truth is show up. It's just like show up like that with nothing to discuss, so hard for me to explained, but it's just weird in some way.
I don't know where to put the love rival, Xing Yao (XY), either it's good it or lack it. Good because she not too much show in the drama, but put enough damage for SY & MH relationship, every time she show up guaranteed she will messed up SY & MH relationship. Bad because yeah she just show up a little bit so weird in some way.
Re-watch: good & funny drama to watch but not give me enough vibe to re-watch.

So far non of zanilia's drama that disappoint me. This drama of course not one of that. The plot really intense from the first until the end. This drama not give us break to slow down our breath or our heart. It just more and more intense every episode.
Love every cast, they play their role perfectly. Love the plot. Even though this is war & espionage drama, they can still slip romance in here. Very little but very intense romance that also make our heart beat fast. Love for every challenge Yu hao and Lan Zhi have to face & how they solved it together. Love everything this drama can over us.

Never really liked korean drama but kinda glad watched this. Although i still don't like it. But in the end this drama is kinda OK.Yeah like Wednes write in her review. No thing such as 4 knight in this drama only 3. Why they must write the title as 4 knight...
I like Eun Ha Won (HW) she is a good girl with a good heart. But she also fickle girl that can't stand in her own decision. One min she decided to leave Ji Woon (JW), but other min she decided she want to be with JW. And why the past story between HW & JW don't include in the story from the beginning, only in the end... It will be better for the story to develop if they include it from the beginning.
The love rivalry between HW and Park Hye ji (HJ) also feel like half hearted. Like the writer want to make into love rivalry but also don't want to make it too complicated....
Overall this drama for me is really weird for the story to develop. The begining feel like drag, but when it come to the end feel like fast forward. I don't know maybe also because i'm used to c-drama plot. Maybe if they have longer episode the plot will be better.

Finally finished watched this drama after long waiting time. So excited seeing Xing Zhao Lin and Liang Jie in drama again. Their chemistry always so good... :)But toward this drama turn out a little below my expectation. Yes this drama makes me laugh & cry. But somehow i feel this drama not bring me the feeling that i hope. Hard to describe it...
Maybe what can describe my feeling is like cnguyen1031 say in her/his review. When i read cnguyen1031 review yeah now i know what lack from this drama... I think the drama should be longer so the character can develop more perfectly...
What i love:
- How JX change herself from a pushover to very confident and mature women.
- Zhen Zhu grandma & JX's mom who stand up for JX.
- Dylan for not being stupid man who only want to have JX but really care about JX feeling & happiness.
The most funny scene is ep 5 where Xi Yi (XY) find out about JX pregnancy & he got punish by JX mom. Really make my stomach hust from laugh... :D
What lack:
- When anna became the first Asian ballet that dance at paris why no news at all at China... In reality it's supposed to be the big news for china. Yeah maybe the writter don't want the attention more to Anna than to JX....
- The focus of the story only JX and XY, so Anna feeling toward her decision and everything is not develop enough, we can't understand her feeling only feel she's a selfish woman who only want everything for herself. We often forget she's a victim too afterall.
- It's seems no climax and anti-climax. Even when the accident happen or when XY & JX know Anna who responsible for the misunderstand between them or even when they get back together at the end. No climax there just something supposed to happen happen.
Re-watch: Hm... I think 1 time is enough for me

Never expected the story to be like this when i first watch it. At first i think it's like casual, light drama about school life & the cast future. Never expected there will be a bigger problem in the end.This drama makes us think about what will we choose when we know our family one have mental sickness that can hereditary to us. Will you give up your loved one so (s)he can choose another happiness or will you stick together with (s)he so (s)he can help support you...?
In this drama you can also watch the difference choice of love. Is it just secretly love & protect someone, is it became some obsession to prove you better than the one (s)he choose or will you let your love go when you already try but find out it's not fit you...? Whatever your love choice only you know what best for you.
In this drama we also can see the way parent protect their child. We can see the pain Zhou Xiao (ZX) dad feel when ZX has been hurt by Fan Zhou (FZ). Mostly in other drama is like it's only become the main role problem & solved by themselves, never shown how it's effected their parents. Here you can see how actually our feel affected our parents.
ZX is one of the most insensitive girl in the drama i've ever watched. As a girl she can't even understand the code given by the boys... The way Catherine Hsu describe her is quite accurate. ZX is "very independent, crazy with her friends, chill about most things, and unassuming when it comes to romance". But seeing how ZX and Fan Zhou (FZ) begin their love is so funny in a way.
What i like about this drama especially they're not complicated the plot too much with the childhood friendship and also love rival between Yi Chun (YC) and ZX, or FZ and Cai Ya Si (CYS) just enough damage done by YC here and there to brake FZ and ZX.
Re-watch: interesting story, good cast but not intrigue my interest to re-watch
