NOT WHAT I EXPECTED
This is like a hit or miss type of drama. To quickly summarise everything,FL is naive and dumb
Similar to Ashes of love
ML is smart and handsome
similar to ashes of love
No annoying love triangle through this drama expect one person did like ML but only last like two or three episodes
ML get hurts a lot ( like a lot and a lot )
The ending is beautiful ( like the best ending ever not as those last minutes met before the end ) ( You get 20 minutes of a happy ending )
Well, where did I want to start this......... I started watching this because of the hype that it has and also I realize while watching that this is very similar to ashes of love and also the female lead is so so dumb and naive but I think I kinda like but also this is not that frustrating. To be honest, this drama is like a miss or hit type, whether you like it or hate because this genre has been used in so many types of drama and ashes of love was my favourite I think this is because of the I am basis with the actors and actress. If it won't for the hype I might not watch it and also this is another type of wuxia drama which I don't go for these days but in the old days like a year ago, I love this genre but not now but this drama I love it. And also There only half of the drama subbed which means I have to watch it no subbed for another 20 - 30 episodes. I am loving and also I try not to skip much but only for the torturing part.
I really wanted to watch all 59 episodes without skipping but at 40-50 the pain and the misunderstanding were killing me and I can't bear to watch. And also I don't think I have the patient but I keep telling my self that it's going to be a happy ending. I even wrote it on my a stick note so that it can be engraved in my brain and mind. This drama has the best kiss scene in the whole of 2020 and maybe my whole Chinese drama watch list because it's so so long and I saw tongue. At first, I didn't like the leads because I never seem them before expected for the FL from ever night but I didn't like her character much but I was so so wrong I love her acting. Now for the male leads, I never seem him before and I thought he wasn't handsome but I was so so wrong wow. I love tangshe because he was hilarious in this drama for me, I felt that he was carrying the whole drama but for the entertainment part like the funny but the main leads ( F&M ) did an amazing job through I felt their emotion which made me skip the torturing part because it will hurt me that how I know I'm attracted to this drama. While watching the ending, this drama made me think back to when it all starts innocent leads who look so young and cute now all grown up and mature. This drama truly made me felt that 15 years have passed with them because of this I felt very emotional. I kinda want to say this drama took a lot of time from my day but I do not regret it. watching and wasting my time.
If I were to compare to ashes of love than it kinda similar but without the annoying love triangle and the evil mother-in-law. This is the best wuxia/ gods/ romance type drama I ever seem. But this one top ashes of love. Even I did like the enteral love of dream but this one is better. I will definitely rewatch this drama one day.
I really don't want this to end but it has and I guess that will be my drama hiatus for now because of school.

A type of drama that you don't see in a while!
This is a short review!( there are some spoiler )
This is truly an amazing drama, where it follows a somewhat realistic path. There are moments where you think this will actually happen in real life. But also moments that are like "What?!" / "This can never happen" / too fake" This drama has a balance of workplace life and its romance. The main leads get along really well when they are in their relationship and there is no misunderstanding, in contrast to the other drama you see. Where they get in a fight and break up... As for the second lead couple. Their relationship was more complex than the leads, which was really nice to watch. Since I would be frustrated when watching. The mains leads/second leads acting was great. The OST in this drama was so good. Some of the songs were sung by FL and SFL.
That is my comment on this drama! I love it!
WANT TO KNOW THE ENDING!!
HAPPY ENDING

Classic
Well......... Where do I start? First of all, I did really want to watch this but after a period of wait, I kinda lost that interest in watching. And fast forward to a few weeks, I decided to watch the first couple of episodes of it and it was hilarious. I laugh so much in the first 10 episodes. This is one of the classic Poor women who meets a rich man and the love triangle and the mother that is unwilling to accept the FL. ( but later she does and when I mean later it literally the last episodes ). In this drama, you will find a lot of comedy and romance at the same time. Even though their age gap is quite big but doesn't let that fool you, you are missing out a lot they have a lot of chemistry today. At first, I was kinda shocked by the age but everything played out really well. There is kinda a love triangle but overall it didn't bother me much but there won't be anything evil plotting for the other leads but ML's mother was something. ( not going too much detail cuz don't want to spoil it,, ). And just to add there is kinda a tiny bit of a revenge plot that was against the ML but it won't begin later on. ( kinda weak revenge tbh ) Overall, a very funny and romantic Chinese drama to enjoy without worry about the plot too much.Was this review helpful to you?

FIRST MERMAID DRAMA
THIS IS NOT A REVIEW, THIS IS FOR MY NOTES
( while writing this only 12 episodes in )In grades 9 and 10 wanted to watch it but never got the change or I watch a few seconds of it then gave up. After two years during the COVID 19 pandemic. I love this drama its been a day since I watch it and I only have 7 more episodes left. :(( Why didn't I watch it early because it is soooo cute and good. I didn't skip much maybe some like where it talks about the mother, father, evil, scary part but some. I have a feeling that I like the start away from home as well since I put it down for two years as well. This is my first mermaid drama I think. While watching this, I started to speak Random Korean which means that I love this drama. Only a few episodes in I already rate it as a dam 9.0 starts already and it has not gone up or down( might change when I finish or later ) I had to remind myself while watching this is only a fairy tale and yeah so I don't get too attached to it or else I would skip some scenes.
I just finished watching the extraordinary you three days ago and this drama is like the fucking same thing, where it talks about the past life and how everything in the past report again and now I starting to think did someone else had the same life as me. I think this show got me crazy. For the last half of the drama, the anticipate is killing me so I half so I had to skip because my heart feels so fucking tik. When they said all the evil characters are evil they are all evil. Finally, when he meets his mother, I guess I could watch it peaceful it is all because of the mother that what got me stress but the crime odes did not bother me much. ( watching 16 as writing this down )

THE BEST CHINESE DRAMA OF 2020
THIS MIGHT BE THE LONGEST REVIEW I WAS EVER WRITTENI don't even know where to begin in this drama. I want to wait until this was finished airing then watch but I ended up not wait because I had watched so many cute clips from this drama and all of the clips I watch made me fell in love with it, and also because school got cancel for another month, I couldn't sleep without watching a few episodes. This drama has sucked my life out of me. I love it pieces. This drama had made in written taken a lot of notes. I try not to skip a lot of the sense and enjoy it like a normal person. I sometimes or mostly skip when I watch the drama. But this one is something else. This had made me even read the novel, I only read some of it. but still, I neven do that. which means I mush love it so much and also I even re-watch a few episodes again while airing. ( while writing this I have not finished with the drama yet I have three more episodes to go but I still would rate it 10 to this point maybe it will change or maybe still the same I hope to stay the same.) This had me discovered a new actor Steven Zhang who is the main lead. This even made me practice my Chinese so I could read the novel. I thought this drama was the second-best Chinese drama for ROM-COM for 2020. In my opinion, this was Find Yourself but SKATE INTO LOVE IS FIRST PLACES. 堂雪 LOVE THIS NAME. This drama will always stick with me because the most important life lesson that I have learned is that "Never give up on your drama, you might have an accident but you can heal and get back up and start over". I love this drama. ( I was reading the comment, then this thought came to me, thx for comments ) I love everything the couple in this drama, the main leads, the second couple, thrid couple. This show has a quote where I truly will go by today " Dreams will never shine, it's you that shine while cashing your dreams."
The acting in this drama is astonishing. Steven Zhang who play BingBing, the main lead. He is so cute and handsome. Everything actor in here is amazing. I also realize something that is so funny, the second couple in this drama, their bond is way better than the mains. lol, they are the cutest and the best second couple I have ever seen. They got together around 10-20. and they never broke up once. wow.
For the story, I love everything about it. Even there are some scenes I don't like but overall this is a great drama. I know some people might be that 40 is too long and it will drag it a bit but I kinda like it and hate it. The music in this drama is the best because I started even ever it comes out I started to sing too. lol, I love all the ost in this drama. Everyone in this drama like every character is amazing and super funny. I love everyone even the evil one that I hated but yeah. I will definitely re-watch this in a few years or months when I forget or kinda forget everything. I even rewatched it while airing so yeah. I wanted to rate the story a 9.5 but just one scene changes my mind about it, this is my favourite drama ever for Chinese 2020, last year for 2019 was go go squid and I hope there will be more drama like this. I LOVE DENG LUN for his supporting / guest role. That is the best role. This is the best drama.
sorry if they dose not help you, I just wanting to make a review for myself

Not what I expected
IT IS NOT LIKE DOTS ( DESCENDANTS OF THE SUN )NOT FINISH WRITING
It may seem similar to DOTS from reading the description, but it complected different there is more storylines from it and also well of character development. There might be a scene where you might think is similar to DOTS- which is the earthquake one but it only lasts for a while but after that everything is new and fresh. If you are looking for a drama that has a cute and smart female lead and a handsome and somewhat cold male lead then this is perfect for you. Not to mention the side couple of this drama is also cute and lovely to watch. Honestly, the side couple is kinda more interesting for me as a viewer to watch since there were more events that are happening in it. I don't know what happened at almost the ending I kinda lose the hype for this drama. The ending is not my fav but it's a good one.

Best historical drama of 2020
I did wanted to watch this because of the main female lead but now it turn to both of the leads male and female. while watching intense love I fell in love with Ryan. His cute and handsome smile just melted me away. I just had to write a review for this I even did the same thing for intense love. I usually don't write review if a drama was not a good one but this one is a boom one. I love this until the end, even if I did skip some part , I love it it's just the anticipation with all the scary things. I love this drama, I think this one is may be one of the best histrionic drama ( well kinda of because of the of it's taken place in that time ) in 2020. I love ding yuxi ( meaning Ryan i like his Chinese name better than English name ) I hear that he going to be on chuang 2020. I change all of my screen like home and lock screen to him. My home screen was song wei long. I think after watching like the first episode of the beautiful flower runis his face because he looked more ugly or like darker two years ago but now in 2020 he like had a big glow up. ding yuxi is my number one fav actor in 2020. Song wei long lasted for about six months and let's see how long can he stay my favorites. I mean song wei long is going to come with a drama again so let's see.Now let's talk about the story. I did like the story how everything play out only talking about episode 1-20. I love the female lead and the male lead( the two main leads. ) If a show that has me watching their behind the sense and also like their interview than that mean I love it. Even I did skip a lot but I still I would like review moments of it. I love it so so much. The thing about this drama is so so different from intense love because in that drama ding Yuxi was like emotionless ( well kinda from the beginning ) I was kinda like used to that but in this one like he is a cute and fluffy happy kid. and also he play a young person like 19 and intense love he like a 28 year old man. I have to said I like the this drama more that the intense love it's just the set up like the rose and tiger is more happy and cute but in the intense love it more kinda mature and cute but the rose is better. I prefer ding in this drama more. There is some hate and love about this drama like the relationship the breaking up and that getting back together. I did not like the second female lead because of his role it kinda made me hate her more because of the put your head on my shoulder was the third female lead and she was like the love triangle in that main relationship too so yeah ( kinda confusing ) I love the ost in this drama. I even started learning it that how much I love this drama. I feel like I don't want to finish it because then I feel so empty inside so I really don't want to watch the last two episode I feel so so empty and sad then I have to find another drama.
This is the first drama that made me learn what CP is and also looking at all the behind scenes in this drama.
This new actor ding yuxi got me google him up and also looking at weibo ( I never or usually don't use weibo but this drama and character and leads really got me using weibo. Overall this drama is 10 out of 10 I do like this more than the intense love grown up but this one is cute and so funny ( I laugh a lot of times )

TRULY EXTRAORDINARY
( NOT REVIEW THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR )
If you are looking for a review then this one is not the one I am just making notes and rant mine thoughts.
As I am writing this I am watching the ending/ last episode. Wow, this is something completely different from what I would watch. If I saw this title I probably not watch it but I saw a seen in tik toc for u page and then I watch it. The story....... this is confusing at first then you understand and then it hit you with more information then you get more confused. The beginning was like the F4 and then little bit of W since it about their life and comic. I personal like Nam Ju because he is so handsome, I was wishing that out of all the guys for the main girl crush / like / finance why does it have to be that guy who looks like the main lead in love holo and also I was saying he was no cute because of he has under circles but somehow I love his coldness for dan on. Another thing is every male lead in this drama is so tall like all over170 cm and also the main lead is over 180 cm like wtf. I wish that nam ju and that joo ad where the main lead in the drama but not the supporting character but also they are the main leads in the comic book for the story. ( this is really confusing because....) The story itself is really confusing for me. First, they realized their life is not what they except and they are just extra for the story and then really people find out like kguny and do Hwa. I was like why will you mention things that make no sense to them about like their character, story and author and the writing to them because of that they slow. Like even now even Joo da knows about the story. And then out of nowhere, they hit you with a strike of things like the three lead, the heart girl, number 13 and Kyung were in different storybooks and they were the mains but that was like in the historical days. Like why do we have to know this stuff and that where I started to get broad and not interested like when I first started. And I kinda think they see in the future was kinda like a spoiler for the drama but others might not agree, that my opinion. Overall I really like the first six to five episodes and then the rest I skip everything mostly because it was that great anymore. and the last thing is this story is truly really extraordinary, I kinda want to say I never have seen a story like this before but it kinda likes the W but also different. This shows like a scary part because of the f**king, that what it gave in the chilli. I just finished watching the ending like what the heck, so..... he was gone for a year but he came back at the very last minutes until the ending, I am okay for some drama to have this ending but this one nope and I also I have to comment on nam ju , why is he so cute and that strawberry shirt, hop he is going to be in more rom-com drama. Before my rating was a four and a half start ( 9.0 ) but now it is a four-start, felt that four-start ( 8.0 ) is a good rating for this drama.

Something different
This is one of those dramas where I skip a lot but at the same time, I love it. Even when I skip some scene I will still understand what is happening. The story itself is eye-opening. You might feel like you are connected with one of the characters. The casting is amazing. I love how there is a black person in this drama. I hardly ever seen black or African people in a Korean drama usually it all white. people. ( this is only my opinion so please don't hate me ) The rewatch value for me is half and a half...... I think maybe in a few years I come back and watch it again. This is something that is different from what I watch usually. Ost is the best. I love the intro song just listening to it makes you think back what has happened in the drama. This drama a lot talk about a topic that I haven't seen in the drama which is transgender. I feel like this drama talk about a lot of topic wherein reality is not easy to open about.sorry if this review did not help a lot.
( this is all my opinion please don't I guess me )

This is what I been waiting for
Now if you are looking for a cute and fluffy story then this one is perfect for you.
( This is not a review for this drama it's just some of my opinions and notes on this )
This month and last month I was trying to find another drama I love like the stake in love I love that one but I didn't find one. Until I was searching on youtube then I found out this drama, so I search it on mydramalist and I love it just after reading the tags and the story. Like this is the perfect modern drama that I am looking for and thank god I found this drama when it finishes airing and also all subbed already. I love Ryan ding so much, now I am even watching the romance of the tiger and rose now. Before that I saw him in just encore but I didn't think he was cute or handsome because of the makeup I think in that drama but after watching intense love I am love. I have to write a review for this. I even used all my data for this in the car and also as soon I woke up I'll be watching this like at 6 am. Even though I didn't really like the main female lead at FRIST but after like 5 episodes in I love her.
WHAT I THOUGH ABOUT THIS STORY
There are so many things I love about this drama that didn't make me skip a lot but I still did because it was like the supporting character but I love. I like how they fell in love within the first few episodes like 1-7 but like halfway there and also the arranged marriage that what I been looking for like a modern drama, not like a few years or more like 10 years ago. I feel like 2020 is going to have the best drama of cute like one in 10 years ago but more new and modern. This story was just so so cute and their relationship went on so fast and not slow and not annoying. I didn't expect a clam made drama without any nasty fight but once again there is going to be some problem but it's not going to be a big deal. I love how the sister gets on a good term and I was so surprised that she was going to be the lover of the idol who liked the main female lead. I love it so so much, I can't even say anything about it. I even rewatched episode 15 like 3 times just the beginning kiss scene. Even he is kinda rookie acter I love him so so much and he is so so cute. Wow, I in love now with him. Now my top three guys are first song-wei-long and then Ryan and then steven. Even though I did skip a lot of kinda but it's just too good and kinda waste my time with the other leads but I still like them but it's just ugggggg. I just want more of the leads romance. Overall 10 of out 10 ( I LOVE IT )
NOW 2020
Skate into love
Intense Love
Find yourself ( even though this drama is not the first place but the acter is )

The drama itself was like grey anatomy 2.0. I haven't watched the first season of this drama, so this was kinda a fresh started for me and also I kinda skip episode one, I watch it but I forget about it and started on episode 2. The story behind was amazing. I am about to watch the final episode and me kinda sad but not really overall I think it is going to play well in the ending. That is what I think. I think the reason why I like this drama so much as the actor in it. There wasn't really much kiss scene in this drama. There was like some peck on the lip for some episodes but there is a real kiss in the final episode. ( I was so surprised by this ) There is something I found that was really funny it was that everyone in the drama is eavesdropping on everything no matter where they are there is always one person listening to someone else conversion. Finally, in the last episode, there was a pull in kiss. Like a makeout, this is the first time seeing the male lead kiss someone like that, I haven't seen him kiss like that before. I love how it ending but I just wish that I saw how he reacted when he saw her again after ten days. but overall this is one of the best medical dramas I had seen before. This comes in second the first one is descendant of the sun. I normally don't usually watch medical K-drama but now this kinda made me want to watch more medical drama. This drama kinda made me want to become a nurse or doctor lolThe story of the drama will make you keep on watching and also keep you on your toes. The acting I love it. The ost is amazing, even I watch the two main leads sing the ost. The re-watch is like a fifty fifty. I don't really rewatch a lot of drama but I do rewatch something if it like really good. I love it Overall this is a good medical drama.
