What will you do if you have second chance in life?

I've watched few time travel drama genre, where the main character's soul is trapped in someone else's body, but this is the first time I've come across this genre of drama with a different approach.
This is a drama centered on a woman who goes back 10 years before and still has memories. She returned to the starting point where all the misfortunes that befall her in first life ( I'll use term first life/past life for her original life and second life for her rebirth) had not been occurred. Predictably, she will prevent and avoid all things that can trigger all the suffering and regret in the past. The question is, can she change her destiny? Can she change others?
Strength
The storyline flows smoothly at a good pace. Logical, meaningful and on point dialogues. The acting is at different levels so we will be immersed in life story of each character, especially female lead character, Lu Anran. I'm not a fan of Xing Fei, but I think this is her best performance by far.
The storyline is unpredictable, tense and lots of plot twists. This is a battle of wits between Lu Anran and Muze. The one more observant and adaptable in reading situation and know the opponent's weaknesses will win the battle. Even though Lu Anran has an advantage with her past experienced but in reality there are many secrets and intrigues that she didn't know about in her past life. Moreover, her opponent's is the scheming, calculative and manipulative Mu Ze.
Weakness
Writing inconsistency. It's a bit confusing what message the writer wants to convey, but it must be appreciated that all the bad characters get their punishment.
The male leads (Mu Chuan and Mu Ze) act out of character in later episodes, one of them previously described as having a calculating and careful disposition becoming rush in and committing reckless actions, and even though his character had development but the writer didn't give him a second chance.
my thoughts
I thought the ending was quite logical and I had expected they would ended it that way.
For a drama with low budget and poor cgi, this is quite extraordinary and I enjoy every story that is given in every episode. Rarely do we see a Chinese drama that has a good plot with the same pace from beginning to end and no unnecessary filler but only focuses on the main characters . If only the writer explained the reason why Muze fell in love with Lu Anran and Lu Anran's attitude could soften to him in the end then it would be even more perfect.
Credit to Jing Chao who stole the show with his superb performance.
The way they handled his character in final episode made me wonder if they should change the title to "fall of a Muze" lol. So did Lu Anran success? Did her fate change in second life?
If you like to watch time travel, rebirth drama genre with revenge plot, actors and actressess who can delivered their roles and don't mind with less romance scenes, i suggest you to watch this one.

An adventure to find yourself

Her Fantastic Adventures is a drama that finally aired after finishing production, four years ago. This drama is an adaptation of the novel entitled The Crazy Adventures of Wu Gate by Ying Zhao. The main characters is played by Song Yiren as Qi Chun Jiao, Gu Qing Qiao and Guo Jun Chen as Duan Yu.

Synopsis: This drama tells the story of a female athlete who accidentally travels to the past, when she was at the lowest point in her life.

Note: this is not the first Song Yiren's drama about time travel, although of the year it was produced, it is the first. The other one is Different Princess which has been broadcast first.

Plot:
The drama is set almost entirely in ancient times with occasional flashbacks to modern life. In ancient life, Qi Chun Jiao reunites with four men she knows in modern life, namely the man she likes, Duan Yu and his younger brother, Shaoyi, her best friend, Lu ZiZheng, and her team doctor, Ruan. With them, she underwent great challenges and adventures.

My opinion:
Even though recently there have been many dramas in this genre, it seems like The director was trying to take a different approach. If you don't mind spoilers, please keep reading.

The adventures she went through are like an escape from her heartache, disappointment, fear and despair. But is everything running smoothly? No, she must fight to survive and quickly return to real life.
When she finally comeback, they didn't go into more detail about what happened to Qi Chun Jiao's athlete career, but when she woke up from a coma, mother embraced her with love. And life goes on, as the story moves forward to five years later. It turned out that the five of them were still in close relationships with each other. And in my opinion, the main female character has moved on from all the feelings that shackled her and has become an independent businesswoman. However, it cannot be denied that this time Duan Yu and she have to face their unresolved feelings in the past.
In conclusion, everything that happened in ancient times was part of a dream that had no direct impact on real life because the people she met in ancient times did not experience or remember these dreams. It's just part of her inner struggle and personal growth process.

Closing:
This is definitely not Song Yiren's best drama but her acting never disappoints me. The main couple's chemistry isn't the best either, but their chemistry is better in modern life. Song Yiren, Guo Jun Chen and Li Jiu Lin show good acting, especially towards the end of the drama. The background music and songs are good and pleasant to listen to.
This drama could be an option for those of you who are fans of time travel, as well as a drama filler. Don't think too hard and don't expect too much.

Fun, entertaining show. Perfect drama to watch before bed

This is a story of love and growth between a person with a secret identity and a prosopagnosia. From this theme alone, we find it difficult to imagine and are curious about how they got to know and be close to each other.

-Plot
Two people with different social backgrounds, education and personalities met by accident. The female lead, Hao Liang, falls in love at first sight with Gu Jiu Li, the founder of a robot company. And with some consideration, Hao Liang decided to apply for an internship at his company. Apparently, Gu Jiu Li didn't recognize her. From here, their story begins.

-Strength
The plot is coherent, not long-winded, logical and makes sense. The storyline can balance work, career, personal problems and romance until the end. Even though it has a strong romance story, it also manages to show the growth of the characters very well. The drama is entertaining, light but full of positive messages. Zhang Yunlong is able to perfoms hilarious comic reliefs with a serious and innocent face.

-Weakness
Most of us are not used to sudden endings. But all the characters have good endings. Lip sync is done roughly so that the lip movements are not in sync with the song.

*Chemistry
The chemistry of leads is the strength of this drama. We can feel their love. It's like we fell in love for the first time, too. It's fascinating Gu Jiu Li can understand what is in Hao Liang mind just by looking into her mimic or facial expression. Their love is so adorable and gives us butterflies.

*Acting
Now this is what I call an A class acting. Something we will get from Song Yiren and Zhang Yunlong, professionals with educational backgrounds in acting. Song Yiren and Zhang Yunlong managed to play their roles well. A combination I never imagined but it works. Song Yiren played two different personalities very convincingly and she managed to unite the two personalities well at the end.

*Conclusion
This is a lighthearted show, you don't need to think hard, it's stress-free and entertaining. This drama is engaging and makes us smile and laugh. Even though this is not the greatest drama, the important thing is that we feel entertained and happy while watching it. Apart from that, this drama conveys many positive messages, being yourself and being brave, never giving up to pursue your dreams. I love the main couple, they set a good example. Their relationship is healthy, both support and help each other.
Ignore the rate, try to watch it yourself.

Great lover and his woman story

I watched this drama 3/4 years ago but i come back again re-watching this one and decided to write my review. At first half of drama, I was frustated and dissapointed with one of male character as i thought he was supposed to be male lead but turn out he wasn't. Then this Hero came and stole my heart. I like his characters, he is calm, smart, great fighter but still soft hearted man. The Female lead is an innocent girl who grew up in a very strict environment, even though she is weak but she is not dumb. The two leads interactions really melt my heart. They have mutual understanding, caring one another, talk gently to each others, as matter of fact they don't have to talk much as they eyes speak volume how much they love and need each others. The male lead indeed has unconditional love for FML, he is a great lover who are willing to protect his woman and her family at any cost.
What i like about this drama is the characters are well built, all cast really show they are talented. I like the ending as well, really satisfying. Baron Chen and Ivy Chen are one of my favorite CP now.
What i dislike..I skip alot, especially scenes involved Boss Gao, i mainly focus on CP and Master Yu bo and there is not enough exposure how Master Yubo taking revenge to his enemy, Flying ROC in the end.
Overall, It's a good drama, different kind of plot/story compare to other C costume dramas, not too draggy though at the beginning episode there is uncomfortable scene to watch.
