This is a cute lighthearted drama that was downgraded by the introduction of needless clichés (unwanted childhood sweetheart comes for arrange marriage, 2 times amnesia forgetting the love of his life, the forced separation: lead character leaves for 3 years before reconciling at last episode, …). The story is really nice and the leading couple had a cute playful chemistry with a few nice romantic moments but everything falls apart when the leading characters started acting differently to their original representation from the moment the leading lady convinces the leading male to marry someone he didn’t want to marry. Although the drama ends with a happily ever after, the resolution took too long and it was more comedic than romantic.

This is a kind of nice drama to watch while waiting for a great one to come. The leading couple has good chemistry but the female lead was childish and insecure which made up for too frequent bickering that, although they were resolved quickly, it was the male lead constantly trying to prove himself. Her twin sister was insufferable toward her love interest and, although his sincerity pays off at the end, it was also depressing to see him trying to prove himself constantly. Every relationship on this drama had one of the characters been sharp-witted and the significant others acted so childish that their romantic vibes didn’t leave any long lasting impression. The drama has two other romance plots but it really gets tiring. The pairing of naïve and infantile female/male adults with the presumably cold and shrewd characters is tripled clichéd on this drama; as if one is not enough, the drama has three!

This is a nice drama to watch while waiting for a great one. The story is simple but some of the characters were extremely frustrating and the antagonist got to exterminate so many people that the storyline became sickly twisted. The worst characters were Bai Yin Ruo which became really cruel and selfish that it got tiring; also Yang Zhuo, Yang Xiao’s cousin that would do anything for Yin Ruo even when he knew that she was wrong. The leading couple did well together and was consistent with their feelings for each other, even when Yue Zi Yuan tried to not correspond to Yang Xiao’s feelings; she was still loving and protecting him. There are inconsistencies on the drama and the end, even though it was a good ending, could have been more romantic and less comical, taking in consideration that the drama, although it was a romantic comedy, put the leading couple through a lot of physical and emotional pain. Overall, the drama is entertaining.

This drama has a good storyline but the characters and incidents are really tiresome. The main leads are very smart individuals that the writer of this drama decided to undermine by turning the male lead into someone that continuously justifies the ill conceived actions of the female lead and his grandfather and giving the audience a female lead that consistently hurt the male lead with the excuse that she doesn’t want to hurt him. Although the female lead has a reason to suspect the people from the Li family as she searches for the truth and her lost memories, she is scheming and manipulative throughout the entire drama. The romantic plot on this drama is marred by the constant mistrust and machinations of the lead female. Even though there are plenty of romantic scenes between the leading couple, for the most part, the acting from the female lead was not at par with the male lead in creating a romantic atmosphere. There’s a lot of overacting from the part of the supporting cast and the antagonists turned buffoonish by the end of the drama. Overall, this is a drama with a good premise that became disappointing by the end.

This drama is one of those to watch when there’s nothing better out there. The story is about Ling Long, the cause of her split personality (the other identity who lives inside of her is a wolf), her connection with Yan Quing and the Wolf tribe. The synopsis is more interesting than the entire drama! This is one of those dramas in which the female lead remains distant from the steadfast protector male lead until the last episode, making the entire drama quite frustrating and there is not much chemistry among the leading couple. Ling Long was portrayed as smart and resourceful but not trusting of Yan Quing that, for some odd reason, was constantly given a playful aura that didn’t go well with his real persona. The drama had a comedic tone with some dramatic undertones, but the characters were over-acted to the point of getting irritating sometimes. There are many plot holes and, although the drama was about the Wolf Princess, Yan Quing did most of the work. Overall, it is not a romantic drama; Ling Long’s alter ego was much more interesting, fun, and engaging. The drama has some good action scenes and, although it is not a memorable drama, it is watchable.

Vagabond is a drama about government corruption and conspiracies that starts to unravel after a plane crash. The drama is packed with action and it has great cinematography and music. The actions scenes are very well choreographed and realistic. Although the main leads get closer and it is obvious that they developed romantic feelings, there’s no romance. All the main and supporting cast was great bringing their characters to life and the plot was consistent with the conspiracies that abound. The overall acting by the grieving families was fantastic and makes the viewer feel the pain and frustration as they navigate and participate in the process of finding the truth about the plane crash. The drama could’ve had a rating of 10 if it would not have been that it ended with a cliffhanger that gives the impression that there will be a second season. Overall, it is very entertaining, enjoy it!

This is a really good family drama. The different stories intertwined well together and the cast did a great job bringing their characters to life. The storyline is about three families and how their lives get linked as the story progresses. The romantic scenes are not extraordinary, but the relationships are fantastic among all the characters. The Park’s family patriarch, Park Hyo Seob, and Lee Mi Yeon are really solid characters that were well developed and are showed a really great and enjoyable chemistry. The second lead couple, Park Yoo Ha and Jung Eun Tae, has a great storyline and did very well during their story development. This family drama has all the conflicts between family members and their significant others with a mix of melodrama, comedic moments, some bromance, clearly distinguished good and antagonist characters, and resolutions that brings moral judgment. Overall, it is a very entertaining drama. Enjoy it!

This is actually one of many versions but this one is by far a really good rendition. It is a miniseries so it is fast paced but everything is explain and clarify in due time. The drama is a romantic comedy and the comedy is delivered on the right time without interrupting the flow of the plot. The leading couple has very good chemistry and great moments together. Although the leading lady looks younger than her actual age, her character is smart, strong, witty, feisty, loyal, and kindhearted. It is a lighthearted drama with good romance and comedy. Enjoy it!
PS: Rating is by comparing other dramas of the same lenght and category and taking in consideration that it is a miniseries!

Story of Kunning Palace is a magnificent production set within a historical period to bring a well written and better executed tale of redemption for Jiang Xue Ning (played by Bai Lu) and the masterfully revenge plan of the male lead Xie Wei (played by Zhang Ling He). There are many and long reviews analyzing plot and characters that are true to the story so my review is to simply tell the audience that this drama is excellent and a must watch. The drama has a stellar cast and the cast did a fantastic job bringing their characters to life, but I must have to reiterate that Bai Lu and Zhang Ling He were brilliant in their portrayal of Jiang Xue Ning and Xie Wei, two intelligent, strong, and steadfast characters that were brought together by fate and became a force to be reckoned with. Everything is played extremely well in this drama; from well designed palace antics, great action scenes, a slow burned romantic plot with a prolonged building of emotions that burst into an unwavering, blazing, and beautiful romance, beautiful and playful friendship to heart wrenching moments brought by greed and betrayal, and all the way to a well plotted resolution and a beautiful happy ending. This one is a masterpiece, enjoy it!!!

Review for Part 1 @ 2

This drama is a GREAT historical production that should not have been titled “Love Like The Galaxy” because their love was not only slow burned, but also full of secrets, lack of confidence, misunderstandings, and, the most tedious part of this drama, Shao Shang’s cold attitude and distrust toward Zi Sheng. How a great love cannot understand Zi Sheng’s emotional pain, turmoil, and commitment?
Having said that, Zhao Lusi (Shao Shang) and Leo Wu (Zi Sheng) did an excellent job portraying their characters and, although their romantic chemistry was not very amorous, the best intimate interaction in the whole drama happened without an unnecessary awkward kiss in episode 36, really beautiful and heartwarming! The rest of the cast also did a wonderful job bringing their characters to life.
This drama is heavy on revenge plots, palace antics, familial interactions, truehearted friendship, occasional comedic scenes to lighten the darker tones, great action scenes, and amazing cinematography and music.
Overall, this is a magnificent drama that is worth watching. Enjoy it!

This is a very nice and well performed drama. The leading couple has very good chemistry and, once they realize their feelings for the each other, the bond just grows stronger and remains steadfast throughout the duration of the story. The supporting cast is great also. Li Hong Bin’s bodyguard is fantastic! Both leading characters are strong and resilient and willing to protect their love and their love ones at all times. The drama has action, melodrama tones, romance, and a comedic aspect that is perfect since is not over-the-top comedy. The drama flows fast and it is easy to watch since the conflicts are not long lasting and the resolutions are quite satisfying. The costumes are complementary and the cinematography is beautiful. This is a real romantic comedy where, even through conflicts, the leading couple remains true to each other and works to resolve conflicts separately and together for the sake of staying together. A true refreshing and entertaining drama. Enjoy it!

Zong Cai Fu Ren Wo Dang Ni Le (2024) is a great romantic comedy miniseries. The story is about the leading lady, Wen Yan (played by Han Yu Tong), who dies after an accident with a broken heart after her husband refuses to see her but, immediately, she finds herself alive and well being reborn a year before her death; thus ensued her determination to move on with her life without Shi Mu Bai (played by Sun Yue), the man that she has liked since childhood. Although the drama starts with a heartbreaking moment, the plot sticks to the comedy genre. The female lead transforms into s delightful force to be reckon with. The male lead, who, after her rebirth and insistence in getting the divorce, finds out that he really wants to stay with her, turns into a lovesick puppy and pursues her incessantly while protecting her when she’s in treble as she deals with her own troubles with her family. There is a non conforming antagonist that is always annoying the female lead and loves to slap but, it so just happened that the slapper keeps getting slapped by the female lead in a ridiculously funny way. The cast did a great job bringing their characters to life and, although there many misses of intimacy for the leading couple, their interactions are somewhat sensual, heartwarming, and funny. Sun Yue is great on the role of the pursuer that really loses his “dignity” in order to get back with her and Han Yu Tong is fantastic on both the naïve woman in love and clever force of nature roles. Overall, this miniseries is well done and entertaining, enjoy it!

This is a drama that has everything to be highly rated (great acting, choreography, cinematography, music) but somehow, it fell short as the story progresses. Putting the lack of romantic chemistry aside, the acting is really superb, especially from the main cast. There is great character development and, in the case of Emperor Murong Gao Gong/Fu Wang, excellently played by Peter Ho, where his development can be defined as a convolution. Although the acting is quite impressive for the majority of the cast, a story of forbidden love needs to be portrayed with more passion, not the lustful passion, just the reckless, despairing, and torment passion that comes from not been able to be together. Maybe it is because of the editing, the fact that the show was trying really hard to be comedic, or simply because that the leading couple, even though they have very good playful interactions and they show great prowess together, they fell short on their romantic interactions. The story has elements of comedy, romance, great action scenes, sinister plots, and great camaraderie among Xiao Duo’s friends in arms. Overall, the drama is a good production; however, it would be more appropriate to call it Floating on the Edge or Fu Tu Tower rather than Unchained Love.

This review is for Season1 & 2:
This is a fun and winsome short fantasy drama where the characters of a virtual game, Bo Ye and Yan, accidentally crossed to the real world after the game shut down. In the real world, Xiao Yu and Yuan Fan team up with the master of Bowu Sect to get rid of Yan, the villain of this virtual game. Coincidentally, Xiao Yu becomes Yuan Fan bodyguard and they become romantically involved. The romance is slow burned and the leading couple lacks chemistry. The drama is farcical and many characters are satirical and exaggerated, but overall, the drama is lighthearted and fun to watch while waiting for a great one to come.
SPOILER ALERT: The drama ends well since, even if the story was a dream, the leading couple has its destined meeting.

As much as I wanted to like this drama, there are too many ridiculous, illogical and nonsensical scenes that made this drama unbearable. Although the drama has a seemingly cold male lead, his character is truly soul-stirring, loving, caring, and the most understanding of them all. The female lead, under the pretense of been a feminist, comes out as selfish, shallow, and unable to fully love the male lead. As a detective type drama, the leading couple has smart deductible thinking and good chemistry; as a romantic drama, it’s dull and tedious to watch. Then the last episode tops it all with the most absurd twist that leaves the viewer frustrated and balked.
