Second couple stole the show.
I was glad when He Congrui-Liu Nian and Zhong Zheng- Jia Yixuan would collab in short drama version of How dare you.The Plot is about FL who transmigrate into book to become concubine. She found ML who supposed to become cruel emperor was actually time traveller. The Both found SFL also time travelled too. Only SML are original character in the story.
The plot is about main couple focused. We never denied He Congrui-Liu Nian has the chemistry but Liu Nian needs to get proper acting since most of her character almost same like previous drama. Jia Yixuan stole the show by seducing SML into her lover but SML is not good as written on book. Zhong Zheng is good at playing antagonist in these scene. I was about to ship the second couple.
The ending is open ending since there is many thing to need more explanation. The ending scene shows it that much.

Insane Person Vs Crazy Person
Watch this drama because the theme is rarely explored in short drama. This giving me Stranger from Hell vibe but with Anti-Heroine POV.The Plot is about FL who wants to get psychiatric hospital and getting test psychiatrist and being assigned as normal person. FL psychiatrist give her dog to calm her mind. She tried to living normal but the her neighbor was bullying her. The Grandma, Husband, Wife who still pregnant and her naughty son make her life harder and it gets her nerve when they attack her dog because it was her last strand of being sane person.
I quite surprised Liu Xiaoxu made appearance as FL psychiatrist. Because this drama solely focused on Female Lead. The duration is not too long to watch so you can watch for less than 1 hour.
The only thing I don't like is Wang Xiaoyi's tone. Personally, she is one actor who better getting her voice dubbed by other person than by herself.
Still recommended to watch.

Even Zhang Chuxuan not saving in this drama
This is one of Zhang Chuxuan black hole drama for every part of it; The plot; the styling (the ugly makeup is that not ugly and not even trying shows this show has cheap budget).Even her character growth is not that really great despite how calculative the FL strategicI distracted by Lihao acting as ML in this drama. He is completey jerk in here. There is no character growth on this drama. The supporting cast acting are bad (the FL stepsister, FL dad). Zhang Chuxuan is on verge in this disaster drama. The plot is too much hole that make audience asks what really happened and suddenly they got answer but not solve the mystery. The editor and scriptwriter needs to get into class again.
Not really recommend to watch.

Zhang Chuxuan save this drama from disaster.
I watch this drama last year and rewatch this for few times and still like it even it was not the best drama.The Plot is about FL want to make register in administration and found out she still married for 6 years while she actually wanted to divorce from her estranged husband 4 years ago. FL ty to meet FL to finalize their divorce while ML saying the divorce is not from her decision. She has been single mother for a son and ML brother to become her godfather. ML found out she has secret child and wants to confort her.
I like the banter between Fang Zheng Nan and Zhang Chuxuan even they didnt have romance vibe but the banter is quite fun especially with ML assistant. The son is acting natural and not being forced. ML brother is just relief beside FL mess life, i love their platonic vibe.
The flaws in this drama is about ML character growth and the green tea, he never feel he is responsible for his doing and just blame FL while he always green tea on priority. The green tea put act as psychopath and i feel annoyed by her presence.
The ending is not of my liking, i prefer FL to end by no one.

Both actor on their comfort zone
This is highly visual pleasing CP even i am not their fans. The height is make me pleasant.Both actor are on their comfort acting zone, Chen Si on his CEO role and Meng Na on her seductress role.
The plot is about FL wants to seduce FL step sister fiancee to take a revenge on her step sister. The acting is not that great but not that bad. It was so-so. The banter is interesting because the sexual tension is there but i feel their acting range is not make me amazed.
Still watchable though.

Not that memorable drama
I watched it when i am on Huang Yunyun binge drama. Not really know of Cheng Qiaosi work. This is my first review about him. They have the chemistry feeling. The plot is kind of stupid because FL was 'cheated' with ML who didn't know they actually have sex together (The term is i cheated with my own husband). The hidden identity plot is quite frustrating. ML didn't have brain to investigate what really happened so too much misunderstanding.The MUA artist failed to hide ML real tattoo (please use the foundation more) which make me distracting.
Actually this work is not memorable even i watch few times there is no iconic scene.

Let Dog shines more
I watch this with zero expectation. The plot is about FL was originally evil NPC and suddenly got someone transmigrated to her body. The original plot is FL drowned ML beloved concubine maid and want to get ML concubine miscarriage. Know the ending of her life was near since ML will executed FL for hurting his beloved concubine. She wants to run from him. But ML actually being comatose for unknown reason was transform into FL Dog and know FL cursed him. ML beloved concubine smug when met FL since she will ask ML for FL death and without knowing ML is hear all of his beloved scheme.I watch it just for dog, the Dog was smart and can acting as being dead for every time.
Still watchable for Dog scene.

He Jianqi proves he can act despite didnt have acting background.
When I watch this for the first time, i didn't get He Jianqi hype. I thought he just another handsome who cannot act and i was WRONG. He Jianqi seems to prefer kind of misunderstanding and lack of communication ML. Wang Gege proofs she didn't just another comedic FL specialist and its one of her transformation into melodramatic drama. Both Chemistry is sizzling and become one of my each CP for each actors.It was quite nice to have sequel on this drama about ML brother. Please check Summer Rose, if you have done this drama.

The Current He Jingzou-Lin Wu with refined plot.
Its my first time seeing Gao Mingchen and Qi Wenting, this is my first review for them.The Plot is about FL aka Lin Wu is meeting ML aka He Jingzhou and his assistant is being her customer(She works as convenience store cashier). She met ML again with help of ML friend. She knew ML has white moonlight who already has relationship with ML friend so she offers herself to have girlfriend contract and pretend to have crush with ML friend while she only loves ML.
I feel Qi Wenting is shown her rookie soul with her stiffness and lack of emotion on few scenes while Gao Mingchen creating He Jingzhou persona being playful and know boundaries. He can reject female advances clearly so there is no green tea attached to him/.The chemistry is 50:50 while the ML is trying hard with no effort FL but still watchable because of refined plot. They added FL family backstory especially her mother which previous version didn't show why FL personality is like that and shown FL poverty and her shabby room. The plot is most fast compare to previous version.
There is many version of this story but this is my personal favorite of ML characterization compare to other version.
Recommend if you want to dynamic duo and watch well-written ML.

The First He Jingzou-Lin Wu that stills win for me
Its my first time seeing Luo Mai Yi works and i quite familiar with Wang Ziyi works. I quite like her but she always deliver fake kisses or 0,1 second peck.The Plot is about FL aka Lin Wu is meeting ML aka He Jingzhou who was her first love wants to kill someone and feel scared she pretends to being fine until ML and his assistant is being her customer(She works as convenience store cashier). Feeling scared, she almost make mistake while his assistant is being nosy about ML relationship since he tends to broke up for 3 months. She found ML beloved keychain and want to return it. She met ML again with help of ML friend. She knew ML has white moonlight who already has relationship with ML friend so she offers herself to have girlfriend contract and pretend to have crush with ML friend while she only loves ML.
Wang Ziyi doing great job to portrayed timid and insecure FL while Luo Maiyi creating He Jingzhou persona like Tsundere (Fierce outside, Love sick fool inside) and emotional stable person. Love how he called "Princess:, "Baby" to "Wife" while FL wants to stick for previous relationship agreement, she tried to not get excited about ML fluttering action. The chemistry is okay they got fluttering kisses since its campus drama. ML regret for not confessing to FL and doing ridiculous relationship with other is on point.
There is many version of this story but this is my personal favorite since FL in here quite superior instead another one while ML is still debatable and depends of how you want to view this story.
Recommend if you want to see secret love with slightly sweet taste.

Move On, we are not in 2023 anymore.
I was eager to watch Xie Yuwang and Lu Lulu second collaboration. I enjoyed their First collaboration and waiting for that long turns out it wasn't that much to wait.The Plot is very 2023 coded. FL love ML twins. She make love with 'ML Twins' until get pregnant and they supposed to be married. ML Twins died in accident left FL being discarded by ML family since ML twins was being favored. ML turn to be Messiah by marrying FL which is make ML mother angrier. But when they get married ML left abroad alone leaving FL and she bore alone without anyone.
The Chemistry was left since Xie Yuwang knows how to kisses. FL characterization is inconsistent being doctor without logic and too dependent while ML mother and FL Family mistreating her. ML mother is pissed me of and she didn't get any character redemption. Couple lack of communication is sole problem since ML just left FL after they getting married so it's logic when he come back she want divorce, What do you expect, to wait like a nun?
The ending is trying to make open ending but somehow they force to Happy ending, duh.
Only to recommended for each artist fans.

Meticulously plot written at first but getting slope in the end.
I was fan of both actor (Zhang Chuxuan and Cheng Cheng). I put my high expectation on this drama and they come with almost no disappointment.The plot is about FL found out her husband affair with her best friend and they want to kill and seize all of FL property. FL finally asks ML who was her dad illegitimate son to join force to fight her husband. There is little bit pseudoincest but actually ML is not FL dad son and secretly in love with FL but FL is always meticulous about their action so she didn't accept romantic feeling.
I like how story progress for FL being scammed and slowly try to get back her stolen property. The divorce is coming after she got all of her property. The child is pissed me out because he always take side with antagonist instead of FL. Despite long duration, they didn't tell about her child afterward.
Still recommend to watch if you want to watch revenge drama.

Lowkey same comedy wavelength as this drama
Ma Lejie slowly wants to break her acting persona for being abused to do this comedic route and it works. Li Shengjie is always serve as Male lead, i don't have any complaint about him.The plot is quite new FL best friend (Zheng Xiaoxiao) got married to ML younger brother (Xie Dongqing) while FL (Nan Feng) wants to crash their wedding. People thought she wants to get ML little brother since his persona is playboy but she comes to FL bestfriend crying while being left behind. FL thinks fast and has an idea to get ML's (Xie Qiu Bai) as her boyfriend. FL try to seduce him by any means for stop her family to get back to her scumbag fiancee that choose by her parents.
I quite like FL antics with green tea (slapping each other since both of them are low class actress) and Ma Lejie with her beggar clothes to fight ML brother for neglecting her bestie is quite my favorite. Most of the part is like mockumentary about duanju formula like they assumed they get pregnant while it actually they are not.
The supporting cast are doing great especially ML mom, FL best friends and of course the victim of main couple- ML younger brother. They got decent portion without shadowing main casts. Main Couple kisses is that good and i quite surprise how second couple got their steamy kiss (not with that usual fake kiss).
I still rewatch few times since it quite funny and the plot is not too draggy.
Recommended to anyone who watch sister love and comedy without slapstick.

Weird premises
I watched this since I kind miss Jiang Shiqi. The plot is too weird since Female lead has some kind of Doraemon device called DNA Detector on periodic era mixed with time traveler things also amnesia plot too. The ending is kind of bittersweet and Lambo nailed the crying scene on this. Jiang Shiqi is still Jiang Shiqi with spunky personality and her remarks. The chemistry is acceptable even the kisses still look fake.Was this review helpful to you?
When nice premises got forgotten in the end
The premises is actually good about "who is the baddie on this relationship" but when i watch it it didn't have spark of wild romance between Bai Yan and He Cong Rui. Bai Yan and He Cong Rui are acting fine but it get dragged when ML go to work on his family business the plot is going nowhere and the both of them didn't communicate for solving problem. The ending didn't get left an impression. Too bad this drama is easily forgotten for both of them.Was this review helpful to you?
