Fate Delayed

Lawrence Wong and Xu Hao are both my favorite actors. I loved Lawrence Wong as Hailancha in Yanxi, and Xu Hao caught my eye in Celestial Academy (though I did not like his male lead there, I still meant to finish it later)

This story is about a pretty actress (struggling), Wen Xiao Nuan, who they kept saying "somehow resembled"CEO Ye Fei Mo's ex-girlfriend. Towards the end, it made sense they kept saying this.

I feel that Xio Nuan's ex-boyfriend is just a sub plot, and the main plot is really about WXN, YFM and the ex-girlfriend.

Towards the end they will show that WXN was really the one YFM had been searching for but his ex-girlfriend stole WYN identity as his savior, thereby eventually becoming his girlfriend.

I am rewatching a second time, despite the drama being memorable as a good drama, I somehow still feel excited re-watching this, not as much as SOYP but in the lines of Master's Sun on Kim Sam Soon, but this much lighter in tears compared to the mentioned dramas.

The lower rating seems to be from haters as the lowest it should get should be an 8, to me however, this is a perfect 10 since I am inclined to rewatch it.

When you know what you want you fight for it

I love the main leads story, Jinyan and Kenny are so cute together.. the ex fiance is not that bad, but he is a weak man, he meant well for Xian but he messed up big time. His stupid decisions made the opportunity for Xian and Zhening to meet and be together. The sister of Zhening is one annoying insecure woman, and Xian s ex was an enabler. One strong couple, (Xian and Zheningl, one weak couple (Zhening sister and Xians ex fiance) and one normal uninteresting couple. (The old man and Xians friend )

The story is not a big drama, it's light hearted NO SML, butvI wish the childhood friend of Xian had more screen time. A very happy ending is not rushed so I love ❤ love the ending

The guilt we carry

I love the 37 and 17 year old Ha Nis. I canbonly imagine the older Ha Ni feels, the guilt that made her punish herself that completely changed her core. The contrast between the younger Ha Ni and the older Ha Ni is so vast that when the two characters start merging into older Ha Nis character it is an event to look forever to.

I enjo watching this drama and patiently wait for 2 episodes a week on Netflix. The change in both Anthony and Yu Hyeon is also amazing. I love Yu Hyeons dad, he is a better character than the dad in Protect the Boss whch also stars Choi Kang Hee (Ha Ni). I like Ha Nis mom too and although Ha Nis nephew is still not as good as young Ha Nis acting, I find him cute

Characters I don't like and almost hate are Ha Nis sister and high school friend. I hate the Auntie aka sister in law of the dad. I also don't like the grandmother but can understand her

The ending is a bit rushed but still good. Happy Ending as the 37 Ha Ni finally moved on

Revenge is best served in blood

This is a violent movie. Cristine Reyes is very good actress, the supporting were ok, but they could have gotten better actors. The music is good but it would have made impact if it was Louder and some rap music would have toned it up.

She was an assassin going out with another assassin but she cannot kill the family of her last target so she saved them and left the life of crime.

She was able to hide and later married and had a daughter. She was recognized by her exbf and was marked to be killed along with her family. Her daughter and husband was killed and she sought her ex and killed him. I think there is supposed to be a part 2, but did not happen

The FL is like the Knight here, saving and helping the ML.

Heartbreak drove her to seclusion

Heartbroken, a scientist who developed green blood to cure diseases, was betrayed by her mentor she looked up to and liked romantically. He allowed her colleague to steal her idea and even slept with the colleague.

She left work and continued her research. Her neighbor who was interested in her tracked her down and a friendship developed.

This is a very different premise that the viewers should be someone with no expectations of what the story should be. I allowed myself to just watch this without expecting anything and I lied it. MGY did great here, her walk, the way she talks is very true of what her character should be. I am satisfied with the ending

When the fault is not ours

She fell in love with his cooking, his lunchbox cuisine reminds her of her mom. He fell for her after listening to her reciting a love proposal meant to be written for his customers. He was married or almost married. (This part was never completely clarified in the drama. There is a second male lead but no Second Male Lead syndrome. All main characters acted well. It's a moving yet humorous and sometimes Lol moment drama. The kissing were intense. The ending is happy and satisfying. I smiled a lot and cry a little when watching this drama. I Rewatched this 2 times in the last year or so.

Pretty young Girl Fighting for her Place in the Corporate World

Xia you was dumped by her high school bf and in the quest of getting him back. She landed a job at SW and she realized that her purpose in moving to Shanghai changed. She came from a rich family and was not exposed to the harsh reality of life. She slowly adjusted to her new adventures, despite being a book smart, she can read 10 sentences at a time and remember everything she reads. She excels in everything she puts her mind into. She attracted a rich man about 13 years her senior and a smart IT coder her age. Juggling work and romance may not be that easy.

I enjoy watching this although I am not interested in the side stories of other characters. Subs on Viki.com is good, but it's about 5 episodes wait to see up to date episodes. I'm dine with 12 but no subs for 13 to 17 so far

Revenge is sweet and painful

I love it. I am so happy that my suspicion of her was right or it would have been too much of a cliche story. I love the happy ending, but the ? kiss at the end made me feel that the male lead was so eager to get her lips. LOL

Plot. ML mom stole the FL mom's design and became famous for that. My assumption is FL mom lost the will to go on being a designer because of betrayal. FL was already a successful designer therefore she disguised herself as a nobody to exposed ML mom and her evil ways to avenge her mom. ML mom asked forgiveness from ML mom and was forgiven as they wanted their children to have a happy ending. THEY DID have a happy ending

Dumped then pursued by Dumper. Fated love that got delayed

This story revolves around 4 main characters:

YONGEN who was raised by her cold hearted dad, an evil stepmother and evil half sister, she only hoped to leave this toxic household, get married and experience love.

QIJUN who was raised and educated abroad did not believe in arrange marriage

TINGXUAN who was very ambitious and arrogant. He only believes in money and power and did not believe in love

LAIFU (My favorite character) He is an innocent, pure and a caring man, his character will make anyone fall in love with him

Yongen and Qinyun were engaged through their parents since childhood but did not grow up together. Qinyun was westernized and cancelled his engagement, only to find out that the girl is someone he already fell for. (Love at first sight). Brokenhearted , Yongen ran away from home and met Laifu. They fell in love with each other. Qinyun continues to pursue Yongen but Yongen have been firm with him that she doesn't want to have anything to do with him.

Later on Tingxuan met Yongen and pursued her too and realized at the end what love is. The ending is happy and satisfying. The story had a lot of twists and turns, production and set errors including the set staff not paying attention to details on what jade someone should have (you'll know what I mean if you pay attention).

****BIG SPOILER**** Tingxuan and Laifu are TWINS. Damn this made me cry even more when I found out he is not the same person.

Moral lessons, pain, love, forgiveness, revenge, and a lot of regrets is the theme of this drama. I watched 20 hours in a row on second day of watching and finished on third day. I loved it
