Romantic comedy/drama
This series starts out with a lot of comedy, then it brings in some light drama. The cast is great, this is a good story. By the middle of the series the lawyers deal with some cases, which is just not what I enjoy. Overall it is a great series. I just did not finish the series as the conclusion seems to be before the ending.Was this review helpful to you?
Emotional drama
With Tan Jian Ci, again a great storyline, amazing emotional drama that captures the heart. This is so well done, protecting the weak, and disadvantaged population as a goal. It is nice that it is a movie and not a series. All was well said in less than 2 hours.I usually watch most of Tan Jian Ci's series and as always this one is no exception, he takes on serious roles as well as comedy.

Fantasy , Murder Mystery, Espionage & Comedy
I started watching this series because of the cast. I usually don't like fantasy series but I can make some exceptions when the story is captivating. This series has a mix of fantasy, espionage, murder mystery and some great comedy from one of the actors that makes it funny. The story is good if you explain it as political intrigue inside and outside a country.I did fast forward a lot of this series as it seems to be going on slow motion.

Sweet romantic series
This is a sweet, romantic comedy. If you are learning Mandarin this is perfect. There seems to be some "fantasy" during this series but it will all make sense at the end of the last episode. I appreciated the relax theme. The actors are well known and surprisingly different from the main leads usual series choice.Worth watching for entertainment.

One of the best historical dramas
This has to be one of the best historical dramas. I also read up on the true historical characters and it was all correct.The events take place before the 1911 Chinese revolution.
Some unknown main actors to me but such good storyline, and performances.
A 10 star for sure and a must watch

Period Political Drama
This is a Period Political drama, with of course some romantic relationships. I found that 40 episodes is too long. Could have ended at 30 episodes. The story is good, I just found too much inside family jealousy drama. There is some humour. I enjoyed watching this series and all the actors did a great job.Was this review helpful to you?
Sweet, adorable and the landscape alone makes it worth watching
I enjoyed every episode of this series. Actors I didn't know previously to watching this show. It is an adorable and sweet story filled with emotions. The landscape alone makes it worth watching as it made me see some of the barren wilderness, I may never get to see in my lifetime. This is a must watch for anyone especially listening to the different languages spoken throughout the episodes.Was this review helpful to you?
Sweet youth romance
This was a sweet youth clean romance. Nice to see a movie that brings all the right story in only 100 minutes.This series does not have any drama and jealous friends. It was just perfect for a quiet evening. Sometimes series are too long and have comedy mixed with drama but this length was just perfect.

Romantic drama with family feuds
I truly appreciate the three main leads as they are fantastic actors. This is a drama more than a comedy. There is a lot of family feuds and plotting against each other, and at time difficult to watch. I did fast forward many of the family feud episodes.Personal choice is important when writing reviews as I personally like light romantic comedies of political dramas.

Drama series with great cast
Drama series, I did hope for a different ending. The cast is well known and worked well together. I did fast forward some episode as I was hoping for more of a romantic series. I have watch many series with these main leads and of cours Johnny Huang is great in any series he is part of. I found 30 episodes a bit too long.Was this review helpful to you?
Sweet coming of age series
This is a very sweet coming of age series. 24 episodes is just right and the story of course; dealing with the pressures of being in high school, then teenage emotions with added parental pressures to succeed at such a young age. It makes us want to do better as parents and look back on our youth, and how sweet it can be.Was this review helpful to you?
The best 2026 TV series for sure
I am positive come this December 2026, this series will most likely receive the WeTV Award for best TV series of the year.This series has history, culture, art, comedy and drama. The full cast of mature actors and of course young and children actors is amazing. What a production, even for non-Chinese to understand and to watch the evolution of Chinese opera is a gem.
I am waiting until the last episodes air by the beginning of June 2026 to complete watching the series.

Well worth watching
I thoroughly enjoyed this series. It has a great cast of actors, and the story line kept me watching. There are different stories of each character and some twists during the plot that are surprising. Period drama with sweet female lead that makes us count our blessings for living in our era where women have many choices.Was this review helpful to you?
