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?
Funny and awesome show
I kind of stumbled upon one of their OST in YouTube and my curiousity got the better of me. I have to say I really enjoyed the show, although some parts of the series when the Female Lead and her pretend to be extremely weak and sickly seriously got on my nerves big time. However, it is quite a great series to watch. There are alot of extremely funny moments and "omg" moments. The entire cast really did an awesome job for this series, the female and male lead are also very good together. There isn´t much big romance scenes, but the tiny little scenes and the TLC (Tender Loving Care) shown between the male and female lead are quite sweet. The OST is also very beautifully paired with the series.Was this review helpful to you?
An incredible series
This series caught my attention some years ago via the short teaser snippets from YouTube to the synopsis of the story / series. The "bonus" that caught my attention even more was having more than just 1 of my favorite actors and actresses playing this series. However, I dragged it out till now to watch because the total amount of episodes for this series was a bit too much for me. I rarely like extreme many episode series not because the series is bad but it is quite hard to find the time to complete them. Nonetheless, this series is definitely worth the watch.I have not read the book of this series, probably would start hunting it down now. I know that quite a number of these characters do exist in reality though the story is mostly fictional. But it is a beautiful story, filled with alot of action, drama, political drama, learning to work together to eliminate the biggest threat and not to mention survival of the fittest. I especially love watching how the 2 female leads become stronger in character - especially the timid princess played by Zhao Lu Si - from their life experiences outside the palace.
The entire cast for this series did an extremely good job in breathing life to this series. From the main leads to support roles to the casual people you find in the series. Each and everyone of them definitely did a good job in bringing this series to life. The lead couples of this series are also very good together, although I am slightly bias with Leo Wu and Diliraba. Having watched Love like the galaxy before this, I feel Leo Wu - in terms of looks compatibility, from my own personal opinion only! - is much better matched with Zhao Lu Si. However, I have to say Kudos to both these pairs, they brought out their individual romance for this series very well. Definitely a thumbs up to all of them for their hardwork!
The soundtrack is beautifully matched and very drama"ish" with all the scenes. Totally love both the music and the series!
A thumbs up. Definitely recommend for a first watch, especially if you like ancient royal stories. For a re-watch, well it would depends on whether if you guys feel it is worth watching.

Yin and Yang
Where there is light, there is dark. Good and evil. Yin and Yang.This series is really good, though like every other series or movie... definitely not comparable to the books. Took me some time to start this series because I felt that 50 episodes was abit too long.
All the characters did a wonderful job breathing life into this series. The 2 male leads do make an adorable couple together, a real yin and yang. It was really great to see the little parts of intimacy between the 2. They were definitely well casted. If I were to give an absolute wild guess..... Xiao Zhan (Wei Wu Xian) would most likely be the softer side (or one can say the "female side") while Wang YiBo (Lan Zhan) would be the dominant one. =) Even for the evil character, Meng Yao / Jin Guangyao, was casted beautifully. That guy played his role of a double faced evil man awesomely that until now I so hate seeing his twisted smile. If you actually watch carefully, there are more than just the 2 male leads as pairs. The most tragic pair was - in my opinion - Xiao XingChen and Song Lan. But I really love watching all the pairs there is.
The music paired for this entire series is remarkable, beautiful and sad. Depending on the song and the time, it matches so beautifully.
I would recommend watching this, preferably before you read the books. Unless you want to subconsciously end up comparing both the book and the series.

Short, sweet and cute
Initially this series attracted my attention was cause of "unicorn" (I totally love unicorns =D) and the 2nd was that Darren Chen was in it (I first watched his series was Meteor Garden and really liked his acting). Overall, after watching the drama, my conclusion would be that it is a very cute and adorable series with very little "drama" or those "stressy" moments. If you are looking for something really light, no excessive drama / evil plots, this would be something you can watch -for a first watch. If it is worth re-watching, you would have to decide on your own upon completion.Both the male and female lead are quite adorable together, be it when they are pranking each other or the short adorable "romantic" moments. True, a twist of fate and both of them actually met and ended up with each other, but the process till the very end is quite funny to watch. It is fun to watch how the Male Lead actually cares for the Female Lead but tries to make it as subtle as possible without exposing that she is actually female instead of a male. The tenderness in him is so adorable. I love how the Female Lead tries promoting team work and helps others despite the outcome or the punishment. Despite what many commentators wrote, I find that she is quite good with this character and shouldn't be shot down over minor facts - i.e not good in ice skating / ice hockey.
No one is born ever knowing everything - including actors. Many actors and actresses do have to go through various trainings and teachings just to be able to film the movie or series that they starring in. People shouldn't be so quick to judge, comment or even condemn another just cause they aren't superb in a particular action / sport of the series they are watching!
The music is alright. Some of the songs paired to this series is quite nice to listen to. Would definitely look up the songs and check it out.

Cute and adorable with a past
I rarely watch Korean shows, this would be my 2nd one.I find this series very cute and adorable. I happened to stumble onto a trailer of it while browsing my Viki. Firstly, I find the show very cute and adorable with alot of funny and humorous parts. Not extremely familiar with Korean actors/actresses, but I have to say the 1st Male Lead and the Female Lead couple are extremely good together, be it in serious situations or out of the ordinary to the funny situations - not forgetting the mini romance scenes here and there. The 2nd Male Lead, the mysterious person from the get go, I feel that he definitely played his role really well - right up till the end. Overall, all the casts did a really good job bringing this series to life. I also love all the variety of dogs shown in the series.
The songs are beautiful, majority of them. I especially love the song that was sung at the wedding - if anyone knows the title, do let me know (thanks!).
All in all, it is a good watch, if you find the synopsis interesting and catches your interest. As for rewatch value, you would have to decide on your own. I definitely am watching it a 2nd round (or more).

Simple. cute, sweet and short
This series is a very short, sweet, simple, cute and adorable series to watch. If you are looking for something light, with alot of funny and sweet moments along with some humor, then watch it. It isn't all that bad whatsoever like some of the people reviewed here - although one man's meat is another man's poison - and I feel that for a 1st time watch, it is worth that 24 episodes watch.Both the Male and Female Lead are quite the interesting couple in this series, though I would say the little boy is the spotlight stealer of this entire series. The adorable, sweet and funny moments mostly revolves around the little boy along with the bubbly and rather spontaneous female lead. The Male Lead, like in most series with a rich CEO, is cold, expressionless and serious but is nice to see how both him and the little boy slowly grow - in the series - to be someone who can express themselves with the help and influence of the female lead. The entire cast of this series did a beautiful and remarkable job of breathing life into this series.
The music paired with this series is also quite nice. I love most of the song, especially the one sang by the Male lead himself.

Cute, adorable and sweet
The basic storyline reminds me of another series - Truth or Dare - where the brides got switched via the same method also. But that is about the similarity of these 2 series.For this series, Wrong Carriage, Right Groom, apparently is a "remake" of the series of the same name that was aired in 2001. You can actually see it when you browse the Cast and Crew tab and click to view the dramas / movies the Empress of this series made - she also was in the cast of the 2001 series. The 2023 version - this very series - is very cute and adorable. It has a simple, short and sweet storyline that has a very nice happily ever after. So if you are looking for a nice simple short and sweet love story, this would a good one to watch.
The 2 lead couples are great together. One serious and no nonsense while the other pair is playful and cheeky. Both couples' chemistry together is quite good, wouldn't say rocket high good but they are compatible. The entire cast and crew did a great job on this series, especially the villain. I would have to agree with some of the reviews on how the villain of this series is so highly annoying. That just means he did a great job portraying his character. ^^ The music to this series is not really to my liking, but then again, could be because all of the songs are females with abit pitchy high voices. Therefore, for me, the OST of this series is just a mere OK. Wouldn't be something that I would spend time hunting down to keep.

Nice series
The series is actually very nice and sweet, not that short nor is it extremely long. It actually started out really nice, funny, interesting. Didn´t really like the ending, especially when the power crazy possessive and unable to think straight females appear. But overall, the series is a very nice movie to watch. The chemistry and the playfulness between the male and female lead is so cute and adorable. Yet another wonderful performance by Zhao LuSi <3 The entire casts also did a very good job on this series, though I wouldn´t mind abit lesser of those crazy possessiveness of the females - especially Zhao LuSi's "best female friend" in the series. Absolutely fanatic and insane.The thing I enjoyed most are the songs in the series. Absolutely love all the songs and find that they are extremely beautifully paired to the series! Great job everyone!

Mind blowing, keeps you on the edge
If you love Crime, mystery and some thriller... this would be a nice watch. It is not long winded, a mere 24 episode long series. I would say this show is stunning, mind blowing, keeps you on the edge, suspension, thriller all in one mix. Both the male and female lead did a very good job, especially the male lead..... But I would say, overall the entire casts and crew really did a remarkable job bringing this series to life. Especially the psychotic casts. They are down right creepy and eerie. Great performance on that part!It is definitely a watch, even if it is only for once, to watch this thriller and crime series unfold. The songs are also very nicely paired to this show.

Ohmigawd I just love this series
It is a very light and not long series. But the story is very nice, light hearted, amusing and lots of adorable parts. It's definitely my first time watching a series of Rain Lu (main or support) but I have watched various series of Luo Zheng. I have to say, these 2 together really make an adorable couple, especially the cute tantrums and the flustered ways of Luo Zheng when jealousy hits. The psychotic of the Male Lead's younger brother is also abit freaky, but no big harm. Overall, it is indeed a wonderful series to watchI would recommend this show to be watched, if you are looking for a light, funny and a little bit of romance series. And, if you love it..... you can binge it the 2nd 3rd n etc times <3
The music is also very nicely paired and some of the songs are catchy (for me). Great work to the entire cast for this series!

An awesome combination of fun, humor, love & romance, cuteness and just wonderful
This series is seriously very sweet and lovely, with a nice mixture of romance, quirkiness and humour. I find the male lead and female lead chemistry of working together is very awesome, even on the romance part. The other casts also did a very good job, including the little boy with his childish cheekiness. The series is not very long - episode wise - and there aren't any overly stressy drama within. It is definitely worth a watch, although rewatching again would depend on individual. The music paired with the entire series is also very very beautifully paired. Great job on this series to all involved!Was this review helpful to you?
Was nice but extremely long
I watched this series many years ago. I have heard of Meteor Garden, but never watched the original one. This is my 1st Meteor Garden series watching. Firstly, I would have to say, I extremely love the soundtrack / OST of this series. They are indeed beautifully paired with the movie. Next, the casts all did a very good job including all the main actors and actresses. Length wise, I would say that the 50 episodes are very very long, especially the "remembering the past" bits, after a while gets quite tiresome. The "drama" is also quite the killer, sometimes I feel like dragging that rich woman (DMS's mom)'s hair just to torture her xD It is definitely good to watch at least once, but ..... rewatch? I would think twice.... if I would want to go thru all the unnecessary drama, long windedness etc ;)Was this review helpful to you?
It's not as disappointing as many people make it sound
Accidentally found this series via some of their short snippets in my YouTube feed. Honestly, I really like the show. The story line may not be the best but it is also not bad. I would say it is great. I love the chemistry between the 2 couples throughout the whole show. I find the Male Lead and Female Lead quite nice - especially the Male Lead from watching Eternal love of dream. Overall, it is quite a cute, funny and adorable drama. Something light and not too long to relax with.Unlike many previous comments, I do not think the Female Lead is disappointing. She comes from a extremely poor background, a street performer. For someone who lives on the street, with no basic education whatsoever and a father that loves gambling, you don't expect that child to be completely competent, serious and matured especially when entertaining is your main source of income. On the contrary, seeing the Male Lead taking the initiative to teach her writing and the princess' maiden in waiting teaching her some manners, I see improvements in her throughout the show. You can teach an old dog new tricks but you can't just remove the spots out of a leopard.
My only opinion to those reading this is, if you like what you read in the synopsis of the series, give it a go. If not, proceed to the next series.

I like it, though might not mean you would ;)
Watched this series some ages ago. I am very attracted to the OST paired with this series as it is really nice and awesome. The storyline is also quite interesting, with some drama, suspense and of course not forgetting romance. The male lead and female lead are quite good together, the height difference was quite adorable to watch also in many scenes. There are also various funny scenes / moments. All in all, the entire cast really did a great job - even the "bad guys" and I really love this series loads. Definitely something to watch - rewatch would depend on your individual thoughts if it is worth the 2nd or more watch.Was this review helpful to you?
