Funsies Fantasy

I watch this because i was on the Sun Qian Xun mood.

Plot is about ML, after having a child, is only allowed five years to live, needing the child's heart's blood to prolong his life. Due to a serious illness, he needs his son's heart's blood as a medicine to prolong his life, which puts him in a dilemma between morality and family responsibility, and also causes conflict with FL. ML's father is a blue phoenix, ML is a red phoenix, and ML is a golden phoenix.

The CGI in this drama is decent for short drama. I love banter between Sun Qianxun and Zhang Yuntao but for romantic couple they lack the chemistry for that.

This drama is worth to watch.

This drama shows All He Jianqi really lacks.

I watched when i was still not found of He Jianqi acting and this is one drama i didn't like it

The story is simple: FL deeply loves the ML and forces him to marry her, which he then does. After marriage, the ML constantly wavers between loving and not loving her. He torments the FL,FL wants to leave and fakes her death.ML realizes his feelings and ultimately chases after FL in a dramatic way.

I don't like both of the leads characterization both are bad guys and i never justified their action. He Jianqi acting skill kinda obviously lack since it was his earliest time. Zhai Xingran acting in here is quite potential, she need to be polished to make her acting better.

Wont recommend this drama.

What a corny drama to start my journey.

I watch this on first month discover Chinese Short Drama and felt the plot was brainless at the time and my statement never changes.

FL married ML was for love, but unexpectedly, she was first sent to prison, then had her leg crippled. A fire resulted FL being accused of death. However, a month later, at a high-class banquet, "Anna," who has a similar face to FL, actively approaches ML, and a revenge plan unfolds.

For simple review ; revenge plot isn't satisfying.

The kiss was OK since it's Meng Na and Ma Xiao Yu. However, considering the filming timeline, it feels a bit awkward to watch.

Plot is okay but this is for fans

I watch this because of Tiktok ads and I quite have 50:50 feeling about this. The plot is actually Ok since i like revenge drama but i was on mood to torturing myself so i give myself try.

The pacing was fast, the storylines were well-developed until 15 minutes of ending and some of the plot twists and climaxes The ML and FL were intelligent and articulate, and most importantly, they were a great match.

Personally, i don't fond of Zuo Yi acting because she always look one dimensional character and her mimic is always same when she frown and her acting is not improving compare to her same peer on pioneer era of short drama. Zhang Tingrui has improved a lot compared to his previous drama with Han Yutong. He might be a bit too immature for a domineering CEO role, but he's very suitable for this kind of younger, competitive, and scheming character. The chemistry between the leads still sufficient to keep me watching this.

The show was average, but I didn't like the ending; it had to be a complete mess and fall into generic formula. Only recommended to hardcore fans.

Despite this drama being my favorite, Ma Xinyu needs to practice.

I watch this because of Wang Haozhen and i liked this drama despite the plot was average.

FL's life is turned upside down overnight due to the unexpected death of her parents, forcing her to go abroad. Years later, upon returning, her best friend's brother, ML suddenly appears, staying by her side relentlessly, his intense gaze almost melting her heart. When he sees FL picking up her suitcase again to leave, ML can't resist.

The plot is actually bland, and the interactions between the ML and FL are also rather bland. The semi-forced love in the early stages is okay, but it becomes a bit dull after marriage; it loses the charm. This drama completely no angst, no melodrama, no villainous SFL, no drugging, no kidnapping, no shielding which is fine to watch.

Personally i don't fond of Ma Xinyu acting there are many moment show her lack of conveying her emotion. She needs to get practice on crying scene and make good chemistry with her ML.

This drama was the very good kissing scenes. That was one of the reasons I managed to finish watching it. This is also my favorite Wang Haozhen drama beside his two dramas of Lu Lulu and Han Yutong one.

Blind Box Drama

I watched with blind review and never see Liu Qiunai works so this is my first review. Li Ruoxun is quite fine to see his acting. Kissing scenes are also beautifully filmed even with average skill, with the atmosphere perfectly captured.

This is a story of unrequited love. FL is assertive, and her marriage to the ML becomes a de facto union on the day of their wedding. The costumes, props, and overall atmosphere of this drama are exceptionally beautiful, and the emotional development is delicate and sincere, making it a rare work enhanced by artistic beauty.

Supporting characters are very well-developed and three-dimensional, making them feel real and relatable, avoiding being mere props or stereotypes.

From initial fear to gradually becoming the most familiar stranger, then opening her heart to each other for warmth, and finally becoming inseparable from him, all these changes are conveyed through the FL's dialogue, small gestures, and subtle expressions. Because of this process of change, the interactions between the ML and FL feel extra sweet.

I am annoyed with cinematographic technique when they did flashback scene looks so rough and misplaced filter.

Recommended to watch.

Enjoy this drama until the divorce part.

The whole series is lighthearted and enjoyable, with a relatively tight pace and a major laugh-out-loud moment every few episodes. The costumes and makeup are also top-notch.

The acting is solid, the plot is fast-paced, and it's a hilarious and sweet drama. Bai Yan, please stop playing tragic heroines. This drama is full of misunderstandings; the masseuse becomes a wife applicant, a small mistake that leads to a huge misunderstanding. The only illogical part is the divorce scene. Divorce is possible, but the husband is caught having an affair and the wife is left with nothing; marriage is possible, but the wife doesn't need to be present. It feels like the scriptwriters sometimes know how absurd it is, but are powerless to change it. The live-streamed arrest of the mistress and the live-streamed apology scene were quite funny and satisfying.

If the divorce scene are not here, i would give this drama more rating.

Recommended to Bai Yan fans.

It was below expectation.

I remember i want to watch this drama last year and finally got proper subtitle on drama apps. For my expectation, this is on below so I am slightly disappointed with the result.

Aside from a lot of verbal sparring, this script is generally quite enjoyable, so even with a less-than-stellar performance, it's watchable. This adaptation is mediocre, with about 40% verbal sparring.. A few comedic scenes are added, which I think is a major flaw, conflicting with the main theme about revenge.

Han Yutong, stills nailing her acting in here. Cheng Cheng also quite good at playing scumbag ex-husband. Zhang Tingrui in here seemed more like a supporting character instead of Cheng Cheng, he is just wall-flower in this drama. The costumes and props were also quite well done, especially the grand scene of the princess returning to court.

I didn't feel any satisfaction after watch this, just an insult to my spare time.
