the reason why I won’t watch it again is cause it is too beautiful and sad for me to bear

okay okay I’ll stop crying and write a proper review let’s start with the plot. The plot as you might have guess sad and beautiful. A love story between a girl who has 6months to live and a boy who has 1yr to live. A girl who looks forward to dying and a boy who is scared of dying. A girl who has no attachment to this world and a boy who gave her a reason. Their are movies similar to it but in those the boy is always in good health. so it was a unique take and I liked this more cause in this case I believe he will understand her better and feel her pain better.

The acting? absolutely fantastic. No I am not saying this cause I couldn’t stop crying… maybe I am but anyways the acting vibarated through the screen for me and as I don’t know anything about the actors I have no bias… perhaps their is one now but that’s a separate matter. It was deep and soulful the way they acted. When they were sick I could feel they were sick the way they spoke, the way their eyes showed deep love and sorrow… the actors have a bright future ahead. Not just the ML and FL but the supporting cast as well.

The songs? Beautiful of course. The painting? heart reanching and beautiful. My heart? Broken and dead.



*SPOILER AHEAD*




P.S. After this if I ever see a Gemera I will freaking cry my eyes out. How am I supposed to live violen breaks my heart, now Gemera these directors must always put something particular… Okay Okay I am not crying anymore

Can I just say this broke all the limits I thought were possible.

Okay, I admit it, I loved it. So let’s start from each aspect of everything I love about this drama because I am sure you guys read the plot line before coming here.

1. Gotta be acting!
You know I loved Dylan Wang in the drama Love between fairy and devil but not so much after that (I don’t hate him, he is an amazing actor, his dramas just did not match my style after that) and after that I came here and stayed forever. To say his acting was terrific would be an understatement. Not just him, everyone else was amazing. The acting, expressions, delivery, my god I can’t complain. I am sure I fell in love with two characters more than twice in this show, Xu Qi’an and Yang Yan. I am pretty sure if I ever made a list of best (and hottest) actors they both would be on top.

2. Story
When you think of an engaging murder mystery plot, you almost always imagine blood, stress and tension but this drama said “F*ck that we are doing it different boys!” And you may ask different how? Different by humour. I laughed almost every episode. You think the situation is stressful? Let’s switch it up. Even till the end when the stress was at its peak it managed to ratain its GOOD HUMOUR (emphasis on the good please). The story was just the perfect blend of suspense, humour, (and no I am not counting this as a romance) action, politics everything. I am pretty sure the emperor would’ve killed me thrice by now if I was in the place of Xu Qi’an… hehe… (Oh and advice, get your popcorns ready because you won’t get up once you sit down, this thing is more engaging than a screw on a wall.)

3. Music
Soundtrack? Fire. My playlist? Dominated by one song. Opening and ending? Unskippable (of course unless you are too excited and skip to find out what happened because the director loves cliff hangers more than my patience.) Do I need to say more? The music was something I enjoyed. The bgm, OST, everything was so well done that it ruined some of the other shows broadcasting with this.

4. Can’t forget the CGI can we? This show was advanced. The CGI was one of the best I have seen in recent dramas. Comparable or I dare say better (I don’t mean others are bad, my pfp is of MM) to Moonlight Mystique, Blossoming love and any other major drama you can think of.

5. And lastly my love for Yang Yan, I swear I bit my lip everytime he came on screen. He was just too hot and cute. Sorry Xu Qi’an, maybe next season!

So, guys buckle up, pull out your popcorn, and just enjoy this ride. You’ll never be bored, exhausted, annoyed (okay the FL was a bit annoying in the beginning but she changed!), depressed, stressed (because unlike me you won’t have to wait a day or two). I promise you all that you might regret reading my overly self centered but factually correct review, but you won’t regret watching this masterpiece of a drama. See you in Seaosn 2.

look copying is also an art and I think this one did a decent job

A perfectly average drama I must say. I have seen many dramas but this is the first one that made me think of a perfect 7.

What was those drama you ask? Here is a short summary…. A copy.

It was literally using every cliche a fantasy Kdrama can ever think of the story is just trash and the sole thing that keeps you hooked is the Visuals and chemistry of ML and FL. But I guess it is not terrible nor excellent just a nice one time watch.

If I had to name all the dramas this series copied the list will be too long to count. But I can definately say this is not a totally original show. So If you want something original you should look somewhere else.

The OST is okay and the chemistry is amazing you will watch this entire show just because of the chemistry and characters. I must say that is the sole thing you would watch this show for.

Anyways it is a great one time watch and you will enjoy it if you don’t think much about the story and only focus on the chemistry.

Not my top pick but sure worth a watch

Wait… Is it good or bad??

Yeah so today was the drop of the 9 episodes and seeing all the negative and devided views I decided to share my own. I am just explaining everything. I am not biased and definitely not hating. Now that that’s clear let’s begin.

So the story starts with Li family. A mother and her 4 daughter (since the 2nd is married) going to there married daughters home to escape some evil relatives. The story doesn’t delve that deep into their reasons yet. The mother has a concern and that is her daughters marriages and decides to stay in the city. Though they soon realise they lack funds and decide to open a shop. Their they are rivaled by the famous, handsome and influential merchant Chai An who decides to sabotage their business due to some feud between the 2nd daughter and her husband (from the Fan house who is cousin with the influential Chai An). This leads to a feud between the 3rd daughter Kangning and Chai An. Though it is nothing drastic, mostly like a petty competition between kids aka it is hilarious.

The story has a strong start with great humour and after taking its time setting up the stage, it decides to head first into the relationship between Chai An (ML) and KangNing (FL). They start with a growing bag of misunderstandings which were quite justified but then it spirals out of control. So, to make things easy for you and me. Here are the things I like and the flaws I found (personally) :

❤️Likes❤️
✅Music /OST: I loved the outro which has a like Chinese Opera touch to it.
✅Acting: So far the acting, line delivery and actions has been great!
✅Family: Okay so a family of basically 6 members has a lot of personality and the story masterfully delves into each character in a slow pace letting us get used to each one of them.
✅Male Leads: lol what did you expect, I came here for the colourful cast


(Guys, I felt that the misunderstandings were reasonable since the main couple never really talked to each other. They have never talked properly so it is natural to not know the true nature of the other person. Let’s be honest, we all know for the ML it was love at first sight and then he just stuck to it.)

👿Dislikes /flaws👿

❎Lack of pov: So as a wise person said, this drama mostly sticks to the 3rd person view so we don’t delve into any of the characters thoughts. And for me that’s a big flaw. How do I understand what a character feels until you show me. I need to at least see or hear their reactions!
❎Male Lead: Though it is ignorable for me, many people who are more reasonable and wise than me noticed that the ML is really...arrogant and basically a jerk. He keeps troubling the Li family distroying their business all for his...happiness? Satisfaction is the right word. He had thrown a ball at the FL in the start and then just went ahead and ruined the business. Note that this business wasn't affecting him in anyway but ruining the Li's business would leave them homeless and starving. But in episode 9 he became a complete jerk for once. Reminded me of Mr. Darcy(pride and prejudice) tbh.Maybe that's what they are trying to go for but we all know no one can hold a candle to Mr. Darcy. He was better. Let's see how good he becomes by the end.
(Even though I have said all that I did like how he didn't pursue her after realising that she lives in a real world. By no means forgiving him though. He was really a big jerk in ep9)


(But we have like 3 more male leads to go so who knows, maybe you will enjoy them better)
❎Lastly, I feel like the GOOD humour has been lost already. I don’t know if it is just me, but it seems like even though it has like 50 mins/ ep it quickly forgot about the humour. Not a huge problem tbh…


Yeah, but it is not like I hate this drama, I am actually liking it a lot and am enjoying it. I will continue to watch it. Though it might feel like my dislikes are more, but I just felt the need to elaborate on them as to not cause a misunderstanding. Again no hate, their are only 9 episode out so don’t take this as the solid final review. It is just to help you guys sort through your thoughts on watching it or not. But at the end I would say you should watch the drama and formulate your own view point. Peace ✌️✌️✌️

{Edit 1: So guys today I watch ep24 and can I just say I personally love this. The starting few episodes were… disappointing, but after ep 12 the drama gets a grip and does not let it go…yet, fingers crossed! The comedy, perspectives and male leads have improved SIGNIFICANTLY. What I can see is that this drama has a pattern. You WILL hate the MLs (more like 1st and 3rd son-in-law cause they are the ones we have seen yet) at a point, but then you will love them like they are your own sons. So, my new advice is that you preserver through the first few episodes and then you’ll come to love this. (Spoiler: ep9 jerk Chai An has turned into the best boy.) Of course again, it is my own opinion, you all are free to disagree.}

MY SOUL IS SHATTERED BECAUSE I LOVED THIS DRAMA

I have to start for this drama from the actual start - The trailer. The trailer heavily leaned on the fact and made it pretty clear that this show is not for the ones with a weak heart. And after completing the drama I agree. I am not the type of person who cries when a character dies. I didn’t even feel sad when I watched Drawing Closer (a Japanese movie - it’s good) And yet here I am, I lost count of how many times I cried while watching this drama. But don’t get me wrong it is not only sad and serious it has a lot of comedy and team bonding. The characters are deep and meaningful. Let alone the main characters I cried even for the side characters.
This drama is a journey. It takes you from enemies to friends to found family. It talked of love and family, of friendship and fate. It is beautiful. I don’t think I will ever have enough words to truly express the brilliance of this team. The actors stole my heart and the director made sure to make good use of it. If you come into this drama, Get ready to create a watch list because after this you will watch all the dramas the actors have worked in and all the dramas the director and screenwriter have worked in. I am not kidding.
Another think to praise is the brilliant cinematography and CGI. Shots of water and rain. Shots of characters. You realise how much cinematography affects a show after watching a masterpiece like this. The cinematography and OST can take a drama from 100 to 1000, and in case of this drama they took it to 10000. The OST is a masterpiece again. I will be saving all the songs in my playlist and listen to them on repeat… well anyways.
A drama is not just a story it takes everything to make a great drama and this one has out done it all :

cinematography- 10/10
OST - 10/10
Acting / casting - 10/10
Story - 10/10

Did my heart break when I watched it? - yes
Will I do anything to see the main caste again together - yes
Did I laugh a lot in this drama - yes
Are my eyes puffy from crying - yes!
So I am going to sleep off all my exhaustion and you guys can try out this masterpiece…

My first thought “Damn Awesome”

so I was in a drama slump and like I was eternally bored, so I just decided to watch it as it just randomly popped up… And Thank all gods that it popped up or else I would’ve missed this masterpiece.

Right from the first moment it hooked me and I was like wow! that’s intense. I thought wait I came here for a romance what is this?? thank god it is!!

The acting is amazing! The sound track- breathtaking! And finally the cinomatography- chefs kiss! Just looking at it it’s obvious that it’s a high budget drama! And the director cares literally cares for the drama! Perfection!

If I you don’t get hooked by the intense fast paced plot, you get an amazing story, you get life like characters, you get brilliant absolutely brilliant cinematography! and most of all you get great Soundtrack!!

May lord bless the one who decided to make it!

From a neutral point the least you can give this show is 7 ie if you like romcom

You see it was not like other dramas… it was a rom com in the literal sense. And I admire it for it

It had a good blend of suspense, romance and understanding. Though the suspense was ended slightly earlier to incorporate romance it still was nicely played out.

The story for me was more like an anime rom com than a kdrama and for those who like suspense and problems other than sweet romance it may seem like a let down. But that’s okay Park Hyung Sik’s cuteness is enough to watch the show till the end.

One main thing that I liked most about this show is how their mental state was not ignored like Ha Nuel was depressed and it was visible in her actions. Some forget to take it into consideration while writing the story, but they didn’t. People may be annoyed when Ha Neul didn’t open up about her past but understand she had Depression… as someone who has went through it I guess I admire it more.

The acting and music are great and so is story, for me the pacing was nice but some might find it slow or weird so if you watch it the least you will give is 7 that is if you like a romance where their are no relationship problems just a couple with overflowing sweetness.

I would say it is a must watch

My standard have been raised now my drama life is ruined

if I had to summarise this series in one word it would be either perfect or a masterpiece I can put it with boys over flowers and say it is better…

it was based around music so I loved it anyways… the acting… the casting and even the plot and story were amazing I mean they could do a little bit more with the step mother fiasco but all is well that ends well and the ending was satisfying

many things still remained unexplained because of the abrupt end but the whole story had a grip

it was fast paced and had no nonsense in it I must say they sped up the ending a little but common not everything can be perfect but it is a masterpiece

I must say it is the first series after love between fairy and demon that made me think wowww I am in love.

I can bet 10yrs of my life that it is the best series of 2022 and 2023 because I didn’t find anything this good in these 2 years


Thank you so much for making such an addicting and amazing series
You have successfully ruined my karana life by raising my standard

a masterpiece and a must watch

How can all the characters of a single drama be so cute it is amazing Sian then Huijin and even FL are so cute I just am squeeeling every time I see them.

I loved the ost it is the 2nd soundtrack with every song on my playlist which is amazing.

The bond between the leads amazing
The story unique
The background wow
The characters Beautiful and cute

I am in love with this story and tbh I am watching it a second time and decided to write a review for this masterpiece

End review- Must Watch

I am deducting that 1 mark cause tbh the past trauma thing with the dead brother is unnecessary and quite sudden I got all the painting connecting but that memory loss was unnecessary

A hidden gem meant to be explored

So for those confused the story is about a young girl, Chu Li who has become an editor, a book editor and has managed to get the famous author Zhou Chuan who is supposedly very hard to deal with. The story doesn’t explore much on the editor and her work, rather it focuses on two couples - Chu Li X Zhou Chuan the main couple and the second couple Mr. Jiang also an author and Gu BaiZhi am editor.
The story is sweet and charming with lots of cute and lovely moments, and for people like me who watched this after Love game in eastern fantasy, this drama gives me everything the other lacked. That is a lot of cute moments and kisses.
I won’t touch down on Love game here.
This drama has one of the most peaceful couples in the entire history of Romantic dramas with no misunderstanding, hate or whatever. They are so in sync and the ML is so kind and considerate, it was refreshing to see such a mature relationship, especially after watching the dramas in which the ML sold his common sense for peanuts.
Though the romance was great I wish it would’ve showed us more of the editor’s work. After Zhou Chuan’s first novel is published we don’t see anything about the editor, nor we get to see anything about her office. After the first book the job just disappears and our complete focus is diverted to the relationship.
The drama did try to touch on many things like divorce, second chance, self worth but again it didn’t go too deep on any of these topics. Which will forever be my one complaint from this drama but other than that I would say it a nice watch and a great pic for suckers of cute romance (like me 🤭)

One of the must watch drama...

this drama has an alright story I mean it is engaging and you will easily watch all the episodes but I won't say it is a masterpiece or something like the ML is continually crying about everything he is literally a cry baby here other than that I must say that in the last few episodes the focus shifted from the male lead to a purely support character. This was a little disappointing the story became a little too realistic at the end but I guess the end was satisfactory enough for me to give it a high rating. The acting was a plus and the storys beginning and mostly uptil the last few episodes was very good the last few episodes messed this up.
Overall a very good drama, definitely worth a watch

Something new, something great

Tbh I didn't want to watch it, but then I did and rest is history.

Do you want a story without cliches? Are you tired of the old angsty xianxias? Are you tired of crappy CGI and fight scenes (This had marvel level CGI)? Are you annoyed by couples who never confess? Are you tired of old misunderstandings due to birth? Are you tired of overpowered characters and weak story lines? Are you tired of those last episodes with a final scene of 2sec? Do you want something good, something fresh, something amasingly different, amazingly charming and amazingly masterpiece? Then this is the place. If I lied, you can have my house. I bet this is one of the best c-dramas of 2025.

Park ShinHye? Demoness? Yaaassss!

The story is overall quite simple with a demon coming to earth to punish sinners aka murderers by using her powers, because she punished the wrong person in hell. Objectively stating, the thing that really attracted me to this show was how it avoided all the story cliches. Generally, the role of a mythical being is played by the ML but here it is our FL and I also liked that instead of a lawyer it is a judge. Pretty great and unique.

The story started out great with a lot of devil and blood, the romance is also very well developed. Instead of them just finding heavenly love at first sight I loved how they let there love blossom slowly. Believe it or not this show has only 1 proper kiss scene and that is at the end. And I am not complaining it was awesome. It had its own beauty. While we are on the topic. I loved the ML too. He was a sweetheart instead of the normal stoic ones we get. Now that I think of it no one was stoic in this series. Is it what I think it is? A breath of fresh air.

The story was rather short with only 14 episodes, but I still thing it could’ve done better. Till the time the story reached the end it had quite a few strands loose. Like the angel went to hell to save a ‘good’ demon. Or that the one will die curse was a lie. The writers dug the hole so deep that they themselves didn’t know how to get out. But that is just my opinion.

Even with a few strands loose this story was awesome. It was engaging, charming, a little bit confusing but it had kept me on my toes till the end.I admire them for it. I do wish the ending episode would’ve more couple moments but we all wish for things. Tbh my main issue was only with the somewhat childish ending but at least they didn’t use the cliche where the dead ML comes back to life at the last 0.25 millisecond of the last episode.

I still think adding the one will die curse was unnecessary, they could’ve just made it simpler, but come on you have to agree nothing was more satisfying then watch Bitna beating everything out of those monsters. I do think she was not portrayed to be demonic enough, she had more of a vigilante vibes then a devil from hell vibes but I digress.

Oh and one last thing I must appreciate. The AD PLACEMENT! Future dramas take inspiration! that is how you place ads in between. You put them subtly instead of pushing it in our faces!

In the end. Yes I loved it, you willl too. Yes, I will forever love this ship. Yes, I didn’t appreciate the ML enough in this summary. I hate Bael too.

Will watch it again

LIFE… IT IS DEEPER THAN YOU THINK.

The story at the start seems like a simple thriller in which a man is given a challenge by death itself after he took his own life to escape the problems of his life (quite a common act nowadays). Though this series starts out as being a thriller it smoothly transitions to talking to us on an entirely new emotional level. It does not just pop into a moral lecture it slowly comes together and talks about the results of death and how foolish it is to take one’s own life.

As a controversial topic, I do agree that the ending was unsatisfying, but I will forgive it. As someone who themselves have a history of self harm and attempts, I enjoyed this. I have been given life lessons on the topic more than a few times but the talk is always a talk, forgotten easily. So watching a drama which so sneakily explores this topic was refreshing, at no point in time did I feel like I was being lectured but after the end when I think back I realise, I wasn’t just being told a story, I was being told a life lesson, hidden behind a supposed murder mystery and revenge.

An unforgettable journey, An unforgettable show and finally A must must must watch.
