The first half was gold comedy but the last part was off

I watch this on 31 March 2025 and i recommended this drama on twitter so i tried to remember how i view this drama.

The plot is average; FL's task is to make the male lead dislike her, and ML's task is to win over the FL. The beginning is funny, but it gets a bit off-key later at the 10 minutes before ending for the specific moment after they found out they were time travelers; it felt like a completely off. Jin Jun Liang plays the observer doctor and this time his role was not being scumbag.

For the romance, the lack of chemistry between Sun Qian Xun and Zhao Zhen Dong was obviously shown in this drama. Even there is good kisses but it still shown the lack of chemistry between them. But the comedy and ML and FL banter at the first half of drama was completely entertaining.

Still worth to watch.

I will give the overall score higher if was not for abrupt ending.

I watched this drama last July when it was released and i was quite like it and how we cannot forget iconic Liang Siwei first scene when he was topless and kissing his FL. I quite like Yao Yuchen acting but her plot was not really that good and this is one of the exception. The chemistry between them was passable to watch.

A Lovely campus romance drama. Pure sweetness throughout, no angst. There are a few minor misunderstandings, but they are quickly resolved. The main characters are all normal people, without any particularly outrageous male-female rivalry. Brothers and best friends are all supporters. The plot is rich, without any melodramatic scenes, the pacing is tight and smooth, they are mutually redeeming, secretly in love, and heading towards each other.

I need to thank for ML golden retriever dog since it was my sole reason to watch this drama with full focus. But the cons about this drama is abrupt ending. It almost destroy the good merits of this drama.

Meaningless Drama that torture us.

I watched this drama just for checking Li Shengxuan works and yeah it was dissapointing.

This drama is incredibly abusive for ML and FL. FL is a substitute raised by the Gu family to house their real daughter while ML was actually rich heir but he become FL loyal bodyguard. But on the middle she suddenly got a brain to get pointless revenge to her adoptive family. FL is also a bully at home, silently enduring beatings while treating the ML with the air of superiority.

ML is love-struck and stupid; despite having the ability to escape the Gu family's hell, he chooses to suffer while he actually has a chance to rescue FL from her abusive adoptive family. The drama's logic is essentially carried by the scriptwriters and the idiotic supporting characters.

The whole thing is very bland, with almost no intimate scenes, no sweetness, only heartbreak. Li Shengxuan weakness is she never had good chemistry with his male lead from every drama i watched.

Avoid this drama if you are common watcher.

The premises is common but needs to skill to make it engaging

I actually watch Jinze and Zhang Chuxuan second drama first and it was decent watch and know this is their first drama i decided to watch this.

The premise of this drama might be similar to typical regret-filled stories: FL deeply loves the SML, who is unaware of his own love for her but prefers the SFL; FL leaves, ML gets lucky, SML discovers his true love, regrets missing out on the FL, and then begins to punish the scumbags. Typically, the SML is a jerk, and the SFL is a scheming woman. What makes this drama special is its character development

For example, SML isn't a jerk. Initially, he rejects FL decisively, and I even thought FL was asking for trouble in the first half. But after watching the whole series, I felt he was a flesh-and-blood character, and all his actions were consistent with his character. Similarly, the SFL's scheming nature has a reason, unlike some short dramas where scheming is just for the sake of scheming, blaming the FL for every mistake.

ML falls in love with FL at first sight, helps her protect her mother's belongings, rescues her when she's kidnapped, and protects her in every way after marriage. He's also jealous and competitive.

Pacing is tight and smooth without dragging, there's no unnecessary dialogue, and the ending is even more uplifting. Everyone has their own happiness, there's no need to force it, love yourself before loving others.

Decent story about open secret in entertaiment industry.

I watched this by Youtube recommendation yesterday. Surprisingly this drama was decent watch with good kisses.

Ren Shuxian who plays Talent scout FL has dispute with her ex who happened to be her talent aka SML. Cai Heng plays as SML and i quite like the kisses between FL and SML. SML character development was surprisingly better from scumbag ex boyfriend to become FL friends. I quite like supporting cast and love-hate story between Leo (idol turned actor) and the nepo baby. Liu Shiqi as SFL was not green tea and the helper of FL despite being nepo baby. Her chemistry with Yu Xingchen was burning and their story was quite refreshing.

The cons is the lack of chemistry between Ren Shuxian and Zhang Junjie. But for newcomer, Zhang Junjie plays rookie actor well and show his real struggle. The backstory was actually nice but it was underdeveloped since they only explained on near of the end of drama. It feels they cramped the ML backstory in the end. But overall-it was decent drama to watch.

What if Strong ML & Strong FL conquers?

I watched this because of He Jianqi and Meng Na collaboration. This drama show obviously high budget for short drama. The pacing was fast, the entire cast delivered excellent performances, and the costumes and makeup were beautiful expect Meng Na obvious wig. The voice acting was quite destroyer of this drama. If you understand this drama, it was actually decent one. Since they explore more supporting character story, you need some brain to think and remember.

There are almost no villains, and most of the characters are normal. The legal and monetary systems are normal. The pacing is tight, with no unnecessary trope. Even in this film, it's quite obvious that the ML's background is stronger than the FL's, and he does help her solve problems. However, the camera focuses on the FL's perspective.

ML knows what the FL is thinking, understands her methods and vision, so he goes along with it to help her. They are mortal enemies, yet they understand each other best. Their tacit understanding of each other, their scheming and manipulative relationship, intertwined with their bittersweet emotional entanglement, is delicious. Another appealing aspect of this film is that ML openly expresses his love for the FL later on, never taking off his ring, constantly calling her "wife," and even kissing her. But FL doesn't believe he truly loves her, questioning him every time, and becoming even more convinced that he's joking, has ulterior motives, or is plotting something.

It gives me asadora type of drama.

I watched this drama on December 2025 since i want to see some Family drama and it reminds me of Asadora since they showed Sichuan and Chongqing dialect in this drama.

Wang Daotie's acting is truly solid, and in this drama, his performance is explosive, perfectly embodying the devastation of a middle-aged person losing a loved one. Sun Yiran's acting in the second season is a step up from the first, with more layers in her performance; sometimes, you can feel the emotions she wants to convey just by looking at her eyes. The child actors' acting is also quite good espeicially the Eldest sister, showing great promise for the future. The only exception is the actor who played Zhou Dawei as a child, who was slightly lacking.

Personally i don't really invested on adult version of the children story but Wang Peiyan is gave me a surprise. Duan Meiyang had limited screentime but his acting was so memorable. Deng Ling Shu acting was decent. Zhao Tingyi speech reminds me of My late neighbour.

The cons is the duration is too long but still Worth to rewatching.

The demon part was quite boring

I watched Yunmiao and i still enjoy this despite all the flaws.

There is two main story on this drama; The Demon-Suppressing Family and The Death of the True Heiress. The theme is really good, but the stories need to be chosen carefully. The demon part was not really good and i almost asleep on that part. The heiress one was quite original, and the way of getting revenge was pretty satisfying—killing the enemy every day.

Season 3 is better than Season 2. The story unfolds through the performances of the supporting characters, rather than the monologues and dialogue of Season 2. There's significantly less verbal sparring.

It's great things that this show hasn't declined in quality over several seasons. I felt Season 2 wasn't as good as Season 1, and I didn't have high hopes for Season 3, but it turned out to be a better than season 2. Not only is the heiress part is good but the production maintains its high standard, and the costumes and props are even more refined.

Decent watch if you didnt want to get romance drama.

There is too many flaws about FL characterization

I watched this when i want to explore more Gong Fang Ni works and i dont familiar with Feng Yiyang so perhaps this is my first review about him. Both actor are deliver their acting and their chemistry was quite cute to watch. The relationship growth between the lead was quite interesting.

The plot is usual generic drama Poor FL was being drugged and got one-night stand with ML. She wake up and ML asks how much money she wants. Still left with dignity, she refused until she got called from hospital about FL grandma bills. This drama contains misunderstand between the leads from FL purpose to ask ML for money until green teas who come for ML. The most hilarious FL tells ML she needs to work early before the pervert boss comes in. He walks in looking all fine and turns out he was the boss and checking her out.

The cons are FL was so dumb she needs to straight paying for hospital bills instead of giving her uncle family money while he sends her to work at pub. FL also being hypocrite person she keeps the non-exist pride for ML while she getting bullied by her family and needs money, ML was not good either he literally paid her and saying we must kept our relationship a secret but getting angry over FL without confessing his feeling. And the SFL was most delusional person while ML reject her she thinks he still like her.

This is for hardcore fans of Gong Fang Ni or Feng Yiyang.

Quite like this blind box drama.

I watched this so randomly and there is less than 2 hours so i can watch this while travelling to other city.

The plot is about FL was forced by her husband to go out and find other men to get her pregnant so he can be virgin for SFL. FL feeling to her husband are died and ask him to let her search man by herself.

The kisses aren't as intense since Wen Yuan likes to peck his mouth. The chemistry are still sufficient but not really artificial sweet. The usual generic formula on short drama are still there for example hidden identity the plot is quite smooth and the pace was so on-track. ML is competitive and greedy. So far, I can still finish watching his dramas. FL is also quite unique vibe and she fights back the antagonists. Zhao Fei acting was quite decent.

The cons are FL husband and SML acting quite old-style and their scenes are so terrible. from fast-forwarding to later skipping any scenes with them. If you are quite morally right person, you wont like this drama.

Decent drama to watch.

Actually the plot was decent.

I check if i have seen this Huang Yunyun drama while i actually have seen that and realized i had seen this drama last year since i am not quite familiar with Jin Wang face (forgive my face blindness).

Plot is about Twins are born and the Taoist said that twin flowers blooming together are a calamity for the Prime Minister's family. One of the girls is destined to be a phoenix, other one is destined to bad luck. FL family throw they baby into the cliff. FL was saved by Taoist master. In order to obtain the purple energy, she drugged and kidnapped ML l to escape a calamity, she sexually assaults the ML, causing him to become infertile—and then runs away with twins. ML legs was quite healed after that-but he pretends to being disabled for political purpose.

The only one who suffers the most from beginning to end is the ML. He tells the FL, "I know you'll run away, but even though I'm not as strong as you, I'll still chase after you. You know I have the ability to chase you." Fortunately, the FL is eventually won over. ML is quite respectful to FL choice even he can force her but he knows FL more than FL itself. Luckily ML had the twins as his cupid over FL. The twins are quite smart and wise children.

There is no misunderstanding between the leads ML knows the real FL so there is no identity mistake. I like the ending for every characters in there, they got deserve ending. The only downside is that the MLs acting could have been better perhaps this is one of reason i don't remember the actor.

Recommended to Watch despite the flaws.

The chemistry between Meng Lu and Charon are mystery for me.

I watched this drama after watching Zhai Xinran-Wang Chanpeng and Zao Zao Er-Li Sheng Jie and it was better assignment so can compare them more fairly.

Plot is about FL and ML are bickering buddies since high school. ML has always secretly loved the FL and tutored her. The FL successfully entered the university he attended, and the two supported each other throughout. After graduation, FL's family pressured them to get married, so they had a whirlwind wedding.

Charon's stubbornness was just too captivating and i quite like Meng Lu even some of people think she was too mature for him. The chemistry is burning the kitchen. The kissing scenes are incredibly sensual and sweet. The scene where the ML proposes to the FL moves me.

There are no melodramatic or illegal plots. FL only shows her girlish whims and capriciousness in front of the ML, who truly takes good care of her. ML is incredibly doting and charming, exuding a strong sense of husbandly love. His little expressions, gestures, and flirtatious remarks are all charming. He knows boundaries and is even good at judging tea

My cons is they should make the place is flat not villa since it was slightly unlogic since SML comes to the villa without the security. What is the point?

Despite all the flaws, it was decent to watch.

Post-Apocalyptic Scam while this is cheesy drama plot.

I was quite interested on Wang Haozhen being in zombie drama and it turns out it was scam.

I'm quite interested in post-apocalyptic superpowers, but unfortunately, the drama didn't showcase them as a highlight. They only showed a few characters awakening their powers, introduced their names, and then that was it. I feel like being scammed.

Why tell a generic CEO romance novel disguised as a post-apocalyptic story? It's the apocalypse, can't we stop with all the romance? There's even this male-female rivalry, and I have to endure the constant banter in this post-apocalyptic setting—it's really ridiculous.

I want to watch post-apocalyptic stories to see humanity's will to live in the face of zombies, and to explore the depths of human nature in the face of life and death? Who wants to see the protagonists just being love-struck idiot? And the post-apocalyptic living conditions are just too good! Electricity is one thing, but there's also a bathtub, steak, cake, wine, cigarettes, and a helicopter—it's really impressive.

The only redeeming qualities are the good makeup and styling of the ML and FL.

If you want to see generic romance go for it but if you like Zombie Apocalyptic, don't watch it, this is scam

Never understand the FL's womb logic in this drama.

I watched it because I really liked Peng Yao dramas.

Wang Nian Jiang Cheng's white hair look was really good. It was supposed to be a sweet little drama, but somehow it turned into a complete mess. The romance wasn't smooth either; everything felt inexplicable.

The premise quite new since FL is reborn with her womb, and the first half is incredibly sweet. If you cut out all the scenes with the SFL, this would be a super sweet romance. Unfortunately, the screenwriter can't write a script without adding melodramatic female rivalry, ruining a perfectly good sweet drama. The premise of traveling with a womb is initially appealing, but the screenwriter treats it as if the child isn't there, resulting in various inconsistencies in the plot.

For example, plot point of a FL getting pregnant and having a child during time travel is just too much. It's terrifying to think that a college freshman would be pregnant. And then there are all sorts of other things that happen afterward. If a college freshman gets pregnant, the child must be incredibly resilient.

I almost dropped this drama due the Inconsistencies and tried to fasten 2.5x speed for better review.

Maybe if you're not plot driven and still hardcore fans you can enjoy this.
