I was blown away with this series! It was easy to follow and themain events were still pretty accurate to actual history events. I felt that this was an interesting remake of some of the older dramas of the same family. One of the brilliant things about this drama is they managed to get some of the top actors to either be leads or supporting actors and what a cast that was put together. I was so happy that so many of my favourite actors were all on the one big screen.
The acting was top notch and the story had kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time. I just loved it!

I really enjoyed watching this on netflix. Even though Netflix split some of the episodes up to make 26 episodes instead of the 17. I loved all the actors and actresses through this drama and they did such a great job in bringing all the characters to life. I felt that sometimes that the pace of the story could have gone a little faster than it was but all in all I enjoye watching it. I liked the storyline and the music wasn't too bad. However, this wouldn't be something that I would pull out to re-watch too many times like some of the other dramas that I loved. Even though I enjoued watching but I still felt that it was still missing something.

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.

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.

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'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.

This was a fantastic show. I've been looking for a crime show to be watching and there isn't a lot that's from China. This one is brilliantly done. The acting was done well and the storyline was brilliantly told. It really kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time. It wasn't predictable and I felt that the story was quite fresh as well. It was full of suspense and you saw the story from both ends. This has been one of the best show's that I've been watching this year. I would highly recommend watching this.

I've been waiting for something like this for a really long time. After watching Love me if you dare I hadn't found another show that could match up to this. But this is definitely on par with it. I loved the storyline and loved the casting. The story took place in two different countries catching people who sold kids and women across borders. The entire time that I was watching this I was at the edge of my seat. I was really obsessed with this series and loved it! I would really recommend anyone who loved watching Love me if you dare to see this.

I loved this show!!! There was so much detail about the fashion world and its struggles that it was so interesting to watch. I loved seeing the main character grow and learn all about the new world that she had stepped foot in. It was brilliantly made and it was amazing to see all the amazing things that was dreamed and made. I love the fashion world so this was right up my alley. I loved everything about this show. From the storyline to the acting I really wish that there would be more of this to watch.

This series has been remade several times over the years. I find that directors seem to really like this story. I enjoyed watching this series, however, I felt that the first couple of episodes was really hard to get through. Even though it was really needed to understand the full story later on.  The first 5-6 episodes was all about the backstory of the main character so it was really needed but I did get quite bored in the first couple of episodes. The rest of the series was very good to watch. I would give this a go.

So when I was much younger I had seen this series. It took me years to find the DVDs of this to be able to watch over and over again.  I really liked watching this series and after rewatching this I felt that I still really loved watching this series. Jimmy Lin's performance was superb and Alex Su's performance was brilliant in his own right. This was the first time in a drama that I had seen that loving someone could change them in such a drastic way. It was really something that surprised me, it was quite realistic.

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.

One of the reasons why I watched this was cause it's a continuation of It started with a Kiss. And I loved watching that. This one doesn't' disappoint either. This is a direct continuation of the first series and this also followed the manga quite closely. This second part I felt was super important to the storyline and the directors didn't disappoint. It still retained the witty funny dialogue that the first series had created but there was some seriousness towards the end and it had followed the manga in that sense. The actors have all done a phenomenal job in portraying each of the characters and showing their growth but also keeping to the core of the characters from the first series to the second which is really hard to do.  The other thing that I loved about this was the catchy music. I still listen to the music now.

This story was so touching, sweet and romantic. It was well done and it really showed us what true love was like. What happened to the characters was so touching and realistic that this series has really touched my heart. I loved watching Vic Zhou on screen ever since I saw him on Meteor Garden but since then he's gotten better and better at his acting skills. With this touching story was loved watching it all the cast had done a great job at this. Even the supporting actors we fabulous. I would rewatch this again but I would really need to be in the right mood. If you haven't seen this before I suggest you give it a go.

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.
