Not bad! Had a great moral to it.

Not a bad drama. This is a keeper for me. It had a great moral to the story.

Storyline - was put together not to bad. It ran smooth and got the point across. I liked the romance but that is only what kept part of my interest. The story itself was a lesson to be learned. You need to truly believe in yourself to make things happen. Is it ok to get a little help now and again? Sure but you should never rely upon that help for to long or you can get trapped. I like how the two leads came to this realization. They worked together in the end to help each other achieve their dreams and stopped relying on the “help” they got from the APP. I liked to story.

Acting/Cast - they all did a great job. Was well done. I was rooting for the leads to finally get together and realize they really did love each other. They did a great job and had a happy ending.

Rewatch - yes! I would. It was a good drama with a great lesson to learn with a bit of romance.

Excellent drama!

Loved loved loved it! I liked the story, acting, and music. Did it lack anything? Just a bit but I honestly have no complaints!

Storyline - ran smooth and clean. There were a few flaws I saw but I am not pointing them out. It kept my attention the entire 18 episodes and l could not wait to see how it all unfolded! I was not disappointed! It finished off perfectly with my kind of ending.

Acting/Cast - I feel they did a great job. The ML (male lead) pulled the split personality just fine. It was not as good as Ji Sung did in “Kill Me Heal Me”. He did a phenomenal job! No one could compare! But I felt the ML did great here. FL did a great job also. I like her. I will have to watch out for these two in the future.

Music - I really liked the music. I will be looking for it.

Rewatch - Yes! I am hoping it comes to digital on Amazon so I can buy it lol. I liked it that much.

Lacked in story/acting but I would watch again.

Started out not so great but episodes 5-7 were the best and I felt were acted out the best.

Storyline - the synopsis was a bit misleading where the, “they both have bad reactions to alcohol so they avoid it”. It did not seem well written or acted and their “reactions” seemed like any normal peoples reactions to it. Also, how does the FL “avoid drinking” when you clearly see her drinking on her own and so on. It was a bit misleading. That being said…

It was an interesting and different storyline from most of the CDramas (and web dramas). I think that some parts were lacking in both script and acting. It did not run as smooth as it could have. Parts seemed to be a bit chopped off. For instance… episode one, their so called bad reaction to alcohol landed them in bed together and then nothing after that. Like it was not really meant to be there but they threw it in on a whim. It was not needed unless they were going to use it as someone caught them and made them marry etc… But nope they moved on and acted like it did not happen. I was a tad bit stumped. I could pick the drama apart but I am not going to because I did actually like the drama even with all the flaws.
I really liked that the FL did not back off on the mother when she found out what was really going on. She stood up to her and told her she needed to stop treating her living son like her dead son and let him live his life as himself and love him for who he is. It was one of the best scenes emotion wise.

Acting/Cast - I liked the cast. Sometimes I think the ML needed a bit of loosening up. He did not play both parts as smooth as I would have liked, especially transitioning from one brother the the other. The FL… sigh… the crying. Lol it was a bit much haha (my husband kept looking at me funny when she cried lol). But she was also the same in acting skills.

Rewatch - Ya, I more than likely would. Maybe not as much as I would my other CDrama favorites. But I would watch it again.

Was actually a good movie

I liked this movie. Was it lacking? I bit but I would watch it over and over again.

Storyline - was about the Chen family and their history with the island and the mermaids. Years of killing the mermaids brought honor to the family. They were told the mermaids were evil and had to be killed. Only it was all a lie. They wanted mermaid tears. I think it was well written and acted out. Was a good and unique story to me. Maybe not to others but I don’t watch much of these kinds except for the movie “Enormous Legendary Fish”. For me this one ranked up there also. I liked it. I did not skip anything. It kept my interest the entire time. For me that is a good movie.

Acting/Cast - most of them did a good job. I felt there were a few lacking a bit but I thought it was well acted for the most part.

Music - Was fitting for the movie. Loved the ending song the most.

Rewatch - yes! I will be watching it again.

I liked it! It is one of the better “short” dramas a from WeTV

I liked it. I will watch it again and recommend it if you like the short dramas. This one was one of the better ones from WeTV!

Storyline - I thought was well done. Did it need work? Like I say as always nothing and no one is perfect so it has its flaws. But that said, it is so much better written and acted out than a lot of these short dramas from WeTV. I liked that the female lead was strong and stood up for herself at every turn. She stood up to the childhood friend a lot and did not let her walk all over her. It was refreshing to see a strong FL for once. I also liked that she said what she wanted and needed to say instead of not much at all. Even though she “falls in love” with an NPC you will have to watch it to see how it unfolds. I had a feeling the NPC was “sussy” but you will have to watch it to see.

Acting/Cast - I liked all of them! They did a great job. Some parts I think they could have done better at but the rest made up for it.

Rewatch - Yes! I will add to my favorites and watch it again. I recommend!

Don’t waist the 43 minutes to watch this!

Can I have those 43 minutes of my life back? Dang it no! Don’t waste time watching this!

Storyline - bad Bad BAD! It was chopped up and parts made no sense. It was NOT a very good script! I cannot believe they even finished making it. The ending was stupid! She sleeps with him and leaves him and raises their child alone???? What the heck!? The amnesia part was whack! I get her wanting revenge but it was stupid how they “solved” it.

Acting - not that great! I did not like the script they were given and I hope that if I see them in a future drama they do a better job.

Music - some of it was borrowed from other dramas like “Master’s Sun” (great drama by the way). But it was chopped off in a lot of places. The music did not flow at all.

Rewatch - oh heavens NO! Just glad I got it out of the way.

Excellent “short” drama!

Sometimes I love these bite size dramas that don’t take 16-52 hours to watch. This was a great watch and a must rewatch for me.

Storyline - was well written. It ran smoothly. I loved the plot and the build up to what happened. Kept me on a hook to finish it and know what really happened. I loved that the main leads worked out all their issues and believed in each other even when outsiders and doubts crept in to try and break them up. I love that about this drama! I was happy there was strong leads and not some push overs that are weak. I felt that it finished perfectly.

Acting/Cast - did a great job! I loved watching their chemistry grow. They all did a great job.

Music - I liked it.

Rewatch - Yes, this one is now a favorite. Was well done and I would watch it over and over again. Especially when I am needing a break from the long dramas.

Waist of time. Wish I had not watched it.

If you are into watching dramas we’re women would sacrifice their dignity for a man who abused them both verbally and physically then this is your show. As for me… nope! Not gonna happen! I could not wait to get it over with. Can’t believe I actually finished it.

Storyline - was choppy, poorly written, and just plain demeaning to women and to what love should be. The girl sacrifices her dignity because she has “loved” the ML for years. He hates her over the stupid manipulative half sister up until the last episode, then all of a sudden the FL grows some backbone and goes for him at the wedding of him and her HS. He never showed any feelings for her until she asked for the divorce (he looked and sounded like he was going to cry but agreed and walked away?)… but in the last episode when the FL crashed the wedding (thanks to the awesome actress friend, I liked her lol) the ML said he “secretly loved her for years but could not get her”!??? What? You had her for 23 episodes (1 year of marriage) and treated her like trash. Oh man I am sorry this was so freaking poorly written! I need to stop. It is not worth the 24/5min episodes!

Acting/Cast - I really believe they could have done better with a better script. But this hurt for me to really like them.

Side note here - sound was awful throughout the drama and I watched most of it on WeTV. On top of that… in the last episode… they needed to make the “video,” that was put up on the big screen showing the HS’s (half sister) true colors, sound loud so everyone could hear what was being said. It would have been a bit more believable.

Rewatch - not in this lifetime! I just can’t watch anything that has to do with a “50 shades of grey” spin-off. Not my type of show.

Loved it from start to finish. FYI only 29 episodes NOT 32!

Get tissues ready for the ending… just a fair warning! Last two episodes are tear jerkers but beautifully written and executed! This is a very realistic and heartwarming drama. Loved all of it.

Storyline - I could not find much fault with it. The only things I did not like was the FL would not let the ML explain anything. She always told him off and then ran away. I am glad that the break up was not drug out for to long and the parents were not to bad on not accepting their relationship. There was some but it was not overboard like most dramas are. Also, the love triangles were not bad either. My favorite part was the romance between the leads but also the father/daughter relationship. At first I thought it was going to be one of those where you have an over controlling father. But there are great surprises that make the relationship quit special.

Acting/Cast - I love Yang Zi! I first saw her in GO Go Squid and loved her in that one. She has become another actress that I enjoy watching. The cast was great.

Music - If you read my other reviews you will find I am a lover of music. When I first started watching this and listened to the instrumental music they played… I was in love! Again, as always, I will say… I pray I can find the OST on Amazon soon! It will be one I buy and listen to.

Rewatch - YES! Definitely! And I hope to buy it in the future. It is a great drama!

Was good but not one to watch over and over again.

Dang Youku and their stupid clips on Facebook! This show caught my attention because of the female lead. She was not one to be pushed around and I loved that about her. Most dramas you see that they get walked on but this one she was strong. Thank you!

Storyline - had me hooked! I waited and waited for the last 4-5 episodes in anticipation! My anticipation was in hopes that the husband would wake up from his self absorption and make up with his wife. Dang romantic side of me! What was I thinking???

I was really really hoping the husband would pull his head out and see what a great wife he had. It was sad to see that all he cared about was his “validation” in his job and what and who made him feel good about hisself. I cried when he did not drop everything and rush to the hospital. He almost lost his wife and possibly his children but his job was more important and so was his boss. Sad that even after she had the children he pretty much left her. Never visiting her or the children. Never helped her when they were sick or in the middle of the night when they cried. He was a selfish man! I kept thinking, “Dude! When are you going to wake up? When are you going to see what your are losing?!!??” It was hard to watch him fall so far. But… I felt the wife handled it like I would have. To bad he was dumb and blind. He lost his family because of his stupidity and selfishness.

I liked the end. I felt that they could work it out. I was glad to see that HE was the one that went back to get her and not the other way around. The hint was there and I feel satisfied that they will be on the road to getting back together.

I liked the story. I really did. They went through so much together. I liked his mom and yes even his sister. They were two of my favorites in the end.

Acting/Cast - I loved the ML/FL and the rest of the cast. I felt they did a great job. I have seen the FL before and I liked her in this one as much as her other dramas.

Rewatch - I liked it but I am not sure if I would rewatch it. If I did it might be 6 months to a year or so from now. It is not one that makes me want to see it over and over again. But it was a good watch.

Long but was… Ok could have made the script shorter and better.

This one is a hard one for me. I really REALLY wanted to love it from beginning to end. The storyline caught my interest but sad to say it sort of lost me. I will explain some of the reasons why in “Storyline”.

Storyline - was a bit long and drawn out. The constant get-together-then-breakup drove me NUTS! So much could have been taken out. Sarah was a selfish woman and had not put the best interest of the children ahead of her own selfish desires. The memory loss bit could have gone away. It was unnecessary! (Memory loss is so over used it really needs to be ditched! It is getting old and boring!) So was her “I’m pregnant with your baby”. Come on! Get real… eye-roll! I do like how he did get his memory back and kicked the bad witch out. Was a great scene! (I do have a bit of wicked side to me lol and I was so loving this scene). But… Seriously can you stop writing so many dramas where the parents are over-protective/controlling to the point it is nauseating!?? The dad constantly going on and on about sending her to America was old right from the get go. The birth mother was selfish and so was her father. What he did to his wife and wanting to “stay by the ex’s side till she got better. Oh please let me do this this once!!” I give the wife high marks for wanting a divorce! It was not right the way he acted/treated her over his ex. I was shocked and appalled by his attitude.

So much of the heart ache could have ended if the two selfish parents would have just butted out of their daughters life. The daughter is an adult for crying out loud! Let her make her own choices! To many of these dramas are that way though! It is really getting old. I could sit and pick this drama apart but I will stop here.

Other than those hang ups… I liked most of the drama. I am glad they did not wait until the last 5-10 minutes to get them together. The story IMO could have used some polishing and made it a shorter drama with a better storyline.

Acting/Cast - did a great job. I really did like the main leads and hated those that were against them lol. So for me they did pretty well.

Rewatch - 50/50 for me. I liked it BUT there is stuff I mentioned and stuff I did not that might keep me away. We will have to see.

This is one hot mess! So confusing!

Umm… this drama is a hot mess! Literally! It jumped around and did not run smooth or make sense. The story was lacking so much! If my review sounds confusing… it is all because of this drama!!!! It messed with my brain. I think it made me confused… haha!!

But No, seriously… if you read my review and are confused well… that is exactly how you will feel watching this drama!

Storyline - I could tear this entire drama apart bit by bit and explain how it is confusing. I will only list the worst of them… from the description listed… it did not match up with the story that was told here. In the first episode I was like… um where does she “fall in love and confess to him and get rejected?” How is she his personal nutritionist, for years mind you, when all she did is cook one meal and then is let go because it was not the same as he remembered? And what is with the anorexia bit? Why did he have it and how to solve it? I was confused from the first episode. And her 12 yr old self and the age difference when they get older makes no sense… she aged yet he did not? How about… she disappeared for years yet he spent time with her parents and knew them even through her first time travel yet he could not find her? Her amnesia in 2024… she cannot remember him and her parents are even confused as to her loss of memory and they don’t recognize him??? She wakes up a year later at the end and… what? What FREAKING HAPPENED?!?!?? Confusion to the max! And the villain was no better. I am so lost, lost, lost…..

I could sort of understand what they wanted to accomplish here but it just was not executed properly or written well. I just don’t understand why they even released this drama for us to watch. Why?

Acting/Cast - I really think they could have done better with a MUCH better script/story. I have a hard time knocking them down because in all honesty I think they did their best with what they were given.

Music - was great! Loved it. Just wish the drama was better.

Rewatch - umm it is a definite NO!!! Don’t waste your time.

Was a true to life dysfunctional family story

I normally do not watch these kinds of dramas. Not sure why, I just don’t. But this one caught my attention and it was really good.

Storyline - shows the lives of a dysfunctional family. I wanted to smack the mom around a lot. I have a hard time understanding mothers that treat their daughters (or any of their children) the way she did. But I have seen it in real life happen. I am glad it turned out better and in the end the kids became close and no longer blamed or treated each other with hostility. Was a rocky road but all is well that ends well.

Storyline was well written. Very well done. I really liked how it all came together and showed how everyone over came their prejudice towards each other and their father.

Acting/Cast - Was really well done. They did a great job and showed real emotion.

Rewatch - for me? I might but not sure when if ever. Some shows I just like to watch once and leave it at that. For me it is not one to watch over and over. But at least watch it once.

Was not what I expected but in a great way!

I was pleasantly surprised with this drama. Reading the synopsis can fool you. It starts out as a light and fluffy drama and then turns to an action drama full of suspense, thrills, and laughs. I could not stop watching it until the very end!

Storyline - was a shock to me but in a great way. I was expecting another fluff and stuff drama but got one full of twists and turns. I WAS going to type spoilers but you know what? Go watch it for your self! It is a really well made drama and keeps your interest throughout the entire thing!

Acting/Cast - awesome! All of them did a great job! I really like all the main cast and will watch more dramas with them in it.

Rewatch - yes, yes, YES! Full of romance, twists and turns, and laughs. Well worth it!
