This was a really interesting series to be watching. I felt that the story line was well written and really well acted out by the cast. Each of the individual cases usually spanned a few episodes and there was of course an overall case which is to catch darker. I was sucked into this show from the very first episode onwards. I felt that each of the police officers had their own personality and they brought something different into the group but also onto the cases that they solve. I felt that at first each of them didn't work really well together but as time went by and they spent longer together they started to really care about each other and worked better as well.

I had originally thought that this was a cute feel-good show to be watching but once I had actually started watching this it was actually quite sad at parts. I really liked both of the main characters which were part of the reason why I started watching this and the other part was that I really enjoy watching Chinese Wuxia movies. The CG was pretty good for its time and it was still very cute.  it was still witty and it really reminded me of fairytales where there's always a morel to the storytelling. I've seen a few of this type of wuxia shows and this is definitely one of the better ones. Most of it was light-hearted and the romance was very real. It does tug at the heartstrings. But all in all, it was a good series to be watching.

I've been on a binge for really good crime shows and had found this one. I realy enjoyed the storyline and the acting and the cast. I felt that each of the characters complimented each other really well. And the plots for each of the cases was very well done and not at all predictable. However, I felt that the ending was very rushed and felt that it hadn't fully finished or had a second season coming. I also would have liked to know a little bit more about each of the main characters that made up the team of detectives. I felt that there were a few flashbacks but things weren't really explained and with an ending like they had I felt that it made things a little too confusing for me. I would be watching it again to see if I had missed some important points through the series.

After watching the new Huang Zhu Ge Ge I was looking for something with the same actors in it. Finally stumbled on this show and I really loved it. It was written by the same writers and it had some of the actors from Huang Zhu Ge Ge. The beginning of this series was a little slow to start and I did get a little bored in the beginning but it really picked up it's pace quick rapidly. There were tears and laughter all the way though and it showed so much in relationships. Between first loves, sisters and parents. These 4 young orphans had gone through so much while growing up and it was just so inspirational that they eventually all found each other after getting adopted and moving to different cities. I loved how they all worked really hard in what they wanted to achieve what they had at the end. It was so heart warming to watch. This was also a huge tear jerker.

I started watching this cause I loved Sun Li's performance in her other historical dramas and thought that this would be just as good if she was the main cast. And I wasn't wrong about it. I loved watching the full life of Miyue, the series was split into a few main parts of her life. From being a child to getting married to the end of her life where she becomes the Dowager Queen. Her life was so fascinating to watch, there were a lot of parts where I felt that a lot of people in the same position as her she would have given up but she just pushed on ahead. I really enjoyed the entire journey of her life. However, it is really long though so make sure that you have enough time to watch all of it. And also I loved all the guys that came out through her life. They each had their very own good parts.

At the end of the last season they left us on a cliff-hanger and not knowing who Darker really is. The beginning of this series starts where we finished in the first season. The special unit has disbanded and they were all working together to get everyone together as their team leader is missing. I was so happy that they were all getting back together. And equally excited when they announced that there was going to someone new joining them but that didn't work out well. This season has the same feeling and tone as the first season and I loved it just as much. The ending of this series was really well done and finding out who Darker was was perfect.

I've recently have been really addicted to watching crime-solving dramas. I stumbled upon this one and I was hooked from the get-go. I'm surprised that there hasn't been a review written for this show yet. I loved the characters and the storyline that was there and the series wasn't overly long and so the plot line was very fast paced but they were still able to get the points across and keep the suspense up.

I really enjoyed watching the show and I was at the edge of my seat the whole time. But what I didn't enjoy as much was at points in time the personality of the main character was not very well explained and her past wasn't explained at all but it seemed to be one of the main parts to why she became a police officer in the first place. The last episode was amazingly put together and was a really good finish to the series.

I love watching medical dramas but there's not a lot of good ones out there especially Asian ones. This has been one of my favorites since I finished it. There was so much growth with each of the characters towards the end of the series. The best part of this series is that they did really well on the fact that they were able to show how busy the hospitals are in China without it being crowded by the landslide accident. The doctors in the hospital were played so well and the politics were demonstrated really well throughout the series. Especially through going through the medical incident 30 years ago. They also made a great balance between the medical work and the romance. I felt that the end could have been longer as it made me feel like it was cut short .I would have liked to have seen more of the two main characters and how things played out with them.

This series was beautiful and stunning. I loved the costume designs and loved Fan Bing Bing's acting skills. She's stunning to watch on screen. However, this is definitely a more modern take of the only female emperor of China. I've always loved her story, I'm a huge fan of her in history just reading about how she became the emperor of China was just an amazing fete. But this take was very interesting. There was a lot of the costume designs and such that wasn't historically accurate. But with that said I still loved watching the series. It was long but it was beautifully played.

Watching the second series was so good when I've just finished the first one. I remembered when this first came out I had to wait for ages to be able to see the second series. It was a different feeling when I could watch this right after the first series. I loved how the story took off where it finished in the first series just like no time had passed. With the second series, I've found that the acting has improved but they still stayed true to the characters. I felt that it had only made the characters better the longer that they had played them. But it also showed that the characters had grown through time and life lessons.

The first time that I had watched this I absolutely loved it! Both Zhi Wei and Xiao Ye Zi were so well done. I just loved their innocence and loyalty to each other. They were so bubbly, happy and witty. The story was really moving but that's what Qiong Yao's stories are like. I've never read any of her books but have watched a lot of her series made into Tv shows. I was so surprised at how well the cast had done. As they were all very new to this sort of drama but they had done so well in portraying each of the characters and bringing them together. The music was very moving as well and listening to the music makes me think of the show.
The pairings were brilliantly done as well and I felt that the director did very well in putting in cliff-hangers at the right places that had my wanting for more.

This was a phenomenon drama, really one of a kind. The casting was out of this world, the acting was just at another level, the soundtrack was amazing and it paired well with each of the scenes. This would be one of those dramas that I can watch over and over again. The storyline was epic and it was intriguing to follow through. There were so many parts of it that I couldn't help but cry for the main character and Hu Ge was just amazing in his performance. I fell in love with this series immediately and with each passing episode, I fell more in love each time.

There is so much rewatch value in this series, even though one of the main characters was a Korean actress. She was so amazing, didn't let the language barrier be an issue at all. I applaud her performance.  And of course one of the reasons why I picked this series up was because of Alec Su's performance. This series was witty, funny and highly entertaining to watch. The storyline had been done before but I loved the lightheartedness that they went with rather than it being all serious and doom and gloom. There was a little bit seriousness towards the end of the series but they were still able to come back to the comedy which was amazing.
