Fascinating and thrilling
I find this movie quite interesting. Yang Mi's acting here is way much better than some of the series that she has acted in. I actually like the tough Yang Mi compared to a few previous shows I watched of hers that is like a weak female. She also doesn't sound that high pitch and softie in this movie either. If you are looking for some action and mystery and thrilling + excitement and you find the synopsis to your interest, then this would be an interesting first watch. There are a variety of action, suspense and not to mention sad moments.I was definitely watching with gripping "omg what will happen after this" moments but I will say that I bawled my eyes out seeing how the guide dog died. That was heart jerking and my extremely in need of alot of tissues moment. But other than that, it definitely is a recommended movie for people who love action and thrillers.

Could have done better without the "ending dramas"
I have never watched any of the male and female lead shows before this one. I have to say I actually quite like this show, they make a remarkable pair together - romantically and all -along with their funny antics. All in all, I would say the entire crew + casts did a great job bringing this series to life. Though they could have minimized the episodes and make do without the last few episodes with the extra drama and etc from the 2nd female lead and the greedy family. Those episodes, to me only, was quite a turn off and I ended up skipping quite alot of scenes from the last few episodes. Other than that, I would say this series is a good first time watch - especially if you like what you read in the synopsis. As for re-watching, it would really depend on individual to decide if it is worth the 2nd shot. To me, not really, unless I watch this for the funny, romantic and awesome parts and completely skip the last few episodes again.The songs paired for this series is also quite nice. Looking forward to hunting down the songs.

It's cute but not something I would rewatch
The series initially caught my eyes because my random playlist in YouTube had one of the songs in it. Synopsis wise, it was sounding really interesting and as it was only 24 episodes long, I decided to give it a go - also because Lin Yi was starring in it and I kinda find him quite an alright actor. Overall, the entire cast of this series did a good job bringing the show to life. Story wise, I did not really find it fascinating anymore after watching it. Sadly, I would admit that this is the first show, after watching the first 11 episodes, I decided to skip to the last 2 to watch ( xD) .Zhou Ye as the Main Female lead was awesome. I really like her outspoken attitude - in the series. Both her and Lin Yi do make quite a compatible pair - romantically or whether while in game etc. But that is all about it.
The music paired for this series is awesome. I sort of enjoyed the OST more than the entire series. Maybe one day, I will try to watch the entire series from episode 1 till end, but for now, watching first 11 episodes and the last 2 have to make do.

It's alright
My personal two cents regarding this series. The show is alright, I wouldn't say bad or good. I have seen quite a number of shows from Shen Yue and Chen Zhe Yuan, but somehow I don't really see the chemistry of romance between this 2. They are a nice pair, especially comically, but I wouldn't say they are "sparks are flying" kind. Story wise, it is quite nice, although it was quite a turn off (in a way) to find out that it was all a book. The entire cast did quite a good job bringing the series to life, that is for sure.I don't regret watching the show, but for me - personally - I would not really go for a rewatch.
The music is not that bad, I especially love the duet sung by both Shen Yue and Chen Zhe Yuan. Beautifully sung.

Just average for me
I honestly started watching this series because of Zhao LuSi and I really watched majority of her shows - except movies so far. However, sadly I have to say.... this is one of the series I am not really fond of nor found the energy to go through a 2nd time. I wouldn't say her acting is stiff or bad in this series - like some of the comments / reviews left for this series. But I feel that it is kinda lacking of something. Firstly, I had a slight confusion moment at the starting of the series because LuSi wasn't playing the princess from the get go. I had to pause, re-read the synopsis a couple of times to better understand the series and then continue watching.However, I (personally) find that this series is too much jumping here and there, too much petty fights etc. The "2nd female lead" or also known as LuSi's cousin in this series is abit too much with her insecurity"ness" and her "I need to be better than everyone especially the main female lead then only I am happy" attitude. The chemistry between LuSi and Zheng Ye Cheng (the male lead) is somewhat stale and not "sparkly" like many of LuSi's other series. There are many sweet moments or funny moments throughout the series that helps brighten the mood but I feel the negative parts are just too overwhelming. Although the lack of interest for the series, I have to say that all of the casts did a good job making this series become a reality.
I, personally, will not fully recommend this series... unless you have read and take a liking to the synopsis of this series yourself. But the music / soundtrack paired for this series is amazing. I really love the songs in this show! <3

It's alright
I was curious about this series because of Jeremy Tsui. It is a short series ( not exploding with extremely loads of episodes) but I would say the series is not that bad and not fantastic either. It is somewhat neutral for me. There are alot of cute and funny moments in this series but I would have to say that everyone of the casts did an extremely good job, especially Jeremy Tsui with all the many variety of personalities etc. They all really did a great job. Theoretically, the series actually ends by Episode 28, the last 2 is not really altogether related to the series but just the insight of the individual Jeremy Tsui became after he lost his memories.The songs, in my opinion, are averagely paired. There are some nice songs inside but not all of them.
It is good for a first watch if you are interested in the series after reading the synopsis. The rewatch depends on how you feel about the entire series after completing it.

Perseverance always wins
Overall the series is very good. Showing you that never giving up on your dreams will work, as long as you persevere through all the hardships, no matter how tough they get. All the casts actually did a nice job bringing this series to life. However, personally.... I find the male lead's extreme clingy"ness" and childishness in certain things very irky. It does have it's appeal but I still feel that it is overdone throughout the whole series. Nonetheless, I managed to watch thru the whole series, though it wouldn´t be rewatched because of the clingy"ness". Nice music pairing though!Was this review helpful to you?
Not too bad, not too good
Accidentally stumbled upon this series via my YouTube feed. The series length is alright, not too long. Talks about Twins and switching of places etc - good twin, bad twin. There has been quite a few series of these sort. Other than the male lead, I did not really recognize any of the other casts. Story wise, it is alright. Not something I am really fascinated with or jumping about it. It is also not something I would rewatch. It is a nice first time to watch series, however, if you personally love series about twins switching places and plots of snatching power etc, then it would be something for you. The songs are also quite nice to listen to.Was this review helpful to you?
Love the series!
Yet another series of Zhao Lusi! Although this is relatively short, I find this series quite interesting, not too much drama, cute and fun to watch. Yes, the male lead definitely did a great job of portraying the lead character, sometimes I even feel like taking his head and smacking it for him being completely dense ^^ but hey, there are some people who really are that lack of emotions and react the same way as the Male lead role. The music - as a music lover and pianist myself - is beautiful. I really love those little violin parts inside. The starting theme is awesome also. Is it worth a watch? Yes, I would say so. Is it rewatchable worth? Well, this one is very subjective. Some would say no, some would say yes. I would say.... depends on how you feel about the series after watching it for the first time. But it is definitely not something boorish or dull. Besides, "One man's meat is another man's poison".Was this review helpful to you?
Too much biitch fights =D
Caught this series via one of those short trailer snippets in my YouTube feed. My curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to hunt down the series to watch. Firstly, for a 10min long episode series, I find it having too many episodes. Then, there was the lack of music paired to it - in my personal opinion. Other than the really hunky Dai Gao Zheng, there isn´t much to look forward to. Too many "bitch" fights amongst the elder brother´s wives - hey... can even compete with those emperor and his harem series. Like some of the reviews I read, there is a lacking of chemistry between the male and female lead, which is sad in a way. It would be a nice to watch first time, but for me... not really appealing to watch the 2nd or more times.Was this review helpful to you?

Cute Web Drama
This is my 2nd Web Drama, although it is 21 episodes long - longer than the first web drama I watched - but it is still quite interesting and refreshing. The 2 male and female lead actors are really cute together. From what I have read, the male lead is relatively new - not much under his belt, but he did a good job (in my personal opinion) for this web drama. Lesser "drama" compared to the normal series, but if you want to just catch something short and sweet, I would say this would be a good one to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Short and sweet
This is by far one of the few really extremely short series I have actually watched. Ending at 18 episodes, one would think "nahhhh not much of a story etc to go on here". Personally, I find the storyline quite nice and interesting. At times, it can be confusing, especially when the split personalities switch between each other. But after a while, you will get a hang of it all. The casts played their roles very well (again, in my own personal opinion) and I really do like the show alot. If you do want a short quick sweet series, well.... you can try this one. The songs are also very nice - yeap.... I actually hunted down every one of the them and made them into my MP3 playlist ;)Was this review helpful to you?
Not bad adaption
This is my first time watching a Korean series. First time watching a series that I have already watched previously in a different language. Although it is an "adaption" to the Mandarin one of the same name, I don´t think we should judge that harshly nor compare it so strictly with each other. Both series have their own specialty, uniqueness and awesomeness. I find the Korean version of A Love So Beautiful quite interesting. The casts did quite a good job, although some of the quirkiness you find in the Mandarin one you cannot find it in this one. Overall, the storyline is quite similar. I really love the songs paired for this series and especially the wedding dance. But, nonetheless, great job!Was this review helpful to you?
Adorable and cute
Spotted this on my Netflix feed and decided to give it a try. Other than Shen Yue - whom I recognized from Meteor Garden - I was not familiar with the rest of the cast. But I did not regret my choice of watching it. The storyline is absolutely cute and adorable, with it´s humour and seriousness. The cast did a remarkable job in this series, not only the main male and female lead. All of them definitely did well. Watching a series portraying teens growing up and finding their place in the world reminds me I am getting old too, lol. The songs / OST paired in this series is also quite nice to listen to. I love them alot.Was this review helpful to you?
Awesome series
Ok, I may be a bit bias on the review.... as I am a very big fan of both Yang Yang and Dilraba. Storyline wise, I extremely love the storyline. It is nice, quirky in some areas, humorous and definitely the cheekiness of Dilraba. ^^ Yet another awesome Actor and Actress couple that work well together making the series even more enjoyable and loved. Watching Yang Yang´s seriousness and aloofness together with Dilraba´s outgoing and cheekiness is extremely enjoyable. The soundtrack / OST is also extremely nice and beautiful, well paired with the series.Was this review helpful to you?
