A funny subject, when the two heroes fall into each other's lives and vice versa, briskly played, by Chinese standards, a nice bromance in the second half, the actors proved that they should have, if not for the moronic order of the infallible party, or rather its red autocratic "leader". A surprisingly effective conclusion. It only dropped the sound about three times... Definitely above average.


Vtipný námět, kdy vpadají oba hrdinové jeden do druhého jejich životů a naopak, svižně zahráno, na čínské poměry pěkná bromance ve druhé půli, herci dokázali, že by měli navíc, nebýt debilního nařízení neomylné strany, nebo spíše jejího rudého autokratického "vůdce". Překvapivě působívý závěr. Jen mi asi třikrát vynechával zvuk... Rozhodně nadprůměr.

A GOOD DRAMA BUT I AM BORED

I think it is really time to drop it , the starting was really good and interesting, I really liked the cast and their acting and it was funny how they act , but for some reason I really don't know why I got bored watching it, also this drama is really hard to find where to watch and the cinematography is just average, I have actually tried watching this and giving this a chance for the second time now but still the same feeling.
I think the story will end up the lead are not going to be together because I have tried checking the ending part , there was a scene I saw that they bit farewell to each other and ended up being friends coz maybe the noble man have found out that he married a guy .. and as far as I can see the leads are not really gay , they were just trying to act like that because the other thought the guy was a girl , anyways I am not interested anymore

I like bl but this a big f no for me

Too painful to watch
Cringe dialogues and situations
I hate that fujoshi girl, let people f be, let romance happen naturally don’t make it happen.
The mc has no backbone. He lets the famous step brother boss him around.
I didn’t get past 1st episode, I couldn’t stick around for their incestuous romance.

This is such a 2010s drama? but the editing sucks so bad the scenes are all over the place

Yeah song jaerim came in and ruined any other ship?

I did defend fl being the cold emotionless one, but dang she’s so naively dumb, their North Korean men are never made out that clueless

Tho I’d only pass it off, cuz she was harassed as a child to be in the army but common sense left the chat

Xing Fei couldnt save this one

This series never runss out of drama episode by episode. FL friend personality is laughable. FL mother personality is annoying. There were too many things happening in one day! I dont know why they made it with 40 ep when there was nothing to show anyway! I wonder if the scriptwriter willingly wrote this series with 40 ep in mind or if producers forced to make it 40 ep. You are not missing on anything if you decide not to watch this or if you decide to stop watching after few ep. I loved Xing Fei in Put Your Head on My Shoulders, im sad she accepted this material

too confusing

too many things going on right from the get-go, with too many characters introduced. no smaller storylines to get you invested in the world and overall character interactions first

CGI/combat is kinda cheesy. It's like 2000s Power Rangers level of practical effects, plus an excessive amount of floaty attacks via wirework. It doesn't have any weight to it. The fights also constantly cut so you don't get the sense the characters are really fighting, it feels like fake camerawork.

The main character Xiao Se kinda doesn't do anything and his secret is revealed already to several characters by like episode 8. No intrigue at all. The Monk character Wu Xin is too prominent in the early episodes, only to disappear after the first arc. The hotheaded main character Lei Wu Jie is already strong and fairly respected so it feels like there's no room for growth.

The acting was ok, music is decent, the cinematography was even nice, but it goes nowhere, it wants to to be this great epic show to hard, but it feel more like a wet dream of some stuntmen beeing in charge to make a show script... It can be great to kickstart a show with some action, but this one seem to never find the baseline to build up from ... There are some shows worse/cheaply made, in this one there is some crispness in style and visuals, but maybe its just personal taste, i never warmed up to it.

Led by a talented cast but the visuals are bad. The story is kind of okay.

Ep 1 to Ep 10: I saw so many familiar faces in episode 1 alone. The drama has such a good cast, which includes supporting and guest actors. I have to say Ren Jia Lun has such a heart warming smile. The way he smiled as A Gou when the FL was petting him like a puppy. It had the Labrador energy. I have seen Xing Fei in many dramas but can't say that she has impressed me as an actor. For me her most memorable role was Forget You Remember Love, that's saying a lot because her character was messed up, that entire drama was messed up. So back to this one, I am invested in the story because of Ren Jia Lun, loved him in One and Only. So far, he is following the script, the characters seems okay to me, especially since he is not yet an adult. They are growing up. I loved Peter Ho's character King Xin, he did a great job but was failed by the subpar visuals. The visuals are the worst part about this drama, it seems like the drama was put together a long time ago and only released recently.

The fl acting is not my cup of tea

Nah, the fl and ml doesn't have chemistry and the fl cool attitude is not feel great. Her expression is weak and her personality is quite emotionless. Even she keep talking for 2 minutes straight, her face doesn't change so much, its quite boring. Maybe i will drop this drama because its feel boring for me. I'm sorry to whoever that like this drama, this is just my opinion

This is called 'The Fake Tootsie'. Aw! They could cast Pingpong Thongchai (from 'Diary Of Tootsies') in the Ken role! Pitty.

The plot is ostentatiously crazy. In the financially desperate situation, Mai Davika Hoorne's jobless character whose house is about to get seized by creditors sees the only salvation in winning the huge prize money drag beauty pageant. First her new friend is supposed to enter the competition, but after discovering he's got too much facial hair, they convince her to enter. As she is proper girly girl, the goal is to put as much of crazy accessories and super heavy makeup on her to make her look so artificial people would even believe she was converted from a dude.

Despite the huge number of episodes, luckilly this isn't a 'Channel 7', so we don't spend ages waiting for some action. Right in episode 2, we get to see the competition including the performances. The main girl portrayed by Mai Davika does a sexy-pose dance number seemingly without any effort (even if she doesn't win the prize money, she doesn't need to stay jobless, obviously she can apply at nearest strip club). If after shooting this series the actress ended up with a new boyfriend, it's no wonder. EVERYBODY shall notice here that she's hot.

It's all very good but then the plot which is supposed to run for the next like twenty so episodes begins, with inexplicable premise that someone who won a drag night should be hired to act in a romantic drama. So, the winner happily collects the prize money, but then is bonded by the contract to shoot a whole drama series. Of course the lack of acting experience is a problem since the first day, so it halts the whole production (where every day costs money). So I wondered what kind of "smart "idea such contract was.

With that, majority of the screentime gets filled with the characters rehearsing and shooting fictional drama scenes. With that, my entertainment level rather dropped. It looked like that after the funny intro, this would be a very looong series... I felt like still watching a movie even after it ended. Like there was some kind of boring footage left with the same characters after everything ended. And it was like that in 4th, 5th, 6th episode... out of 27 (yeah, the version I was watching had 27 total). Yeah, suddenly we were watching "drama" about someone discovering a sanitary pad in someone else's bag. Should Davika dance once more? Else I don't know what could save this thing. Like, TWENTY ONE more episodes?

I think I'll watch the 2nd episode ending again and then quickly get out of this.

He is the world’s best chef and his food looks amazing!!

Master moon uses the best ingredient and recipes that have never been done before. He also is very funny , I also like his assistants as well. Even though they can be a bit noisy , I love them. I recommend this show 100%. I also hope that one day I can go to Master Moon Chef’s restaurant and eat his recipes, i know that his food would taste amazing. This show is a must watch and I hope there are many seasons to come.

But seriously, you can tell that he is putting his all in to cook, he has talked about doing a cooking show on his live-streams and you can see that he really likes cooking and that this was cool experience for him to do it in front of the cameras... please go to Master moon Chef’s restaurant.

Too redundant, tired of ML chasing FL

ML constantly chasing FL, didn’t think see was that exceptional nor pretty, too argumentative, and scheming. Jing Tian is showing her age to me should play with ML who are closer to her age like her ML Jeremy Tsui in Legend of Zhuohua. The series and their age was not exceptional either. I seen both perform much better in several series

Oh God, the horror!

The FL rolls up in the first scene wearing a Nutty Professor TWO shirt, so I knew I was in for a rough ride. ROUGH. Then it just slowly devolved from there. The styling was the worst I have ever seen and this includes the FL's wig from Lucky's First Love. At one point he puts this UFC bandaid on the FL and wore a "thug life" hat. It was so so so bad. OH I FORGOT THE ELMO SHIRT AT A ROMANTIC DINNER.

I could go all day about the terrible styling but IN FACT the acting/story line was worse. The FL is supposed to be good a martial arts but IS NOT. She also is portrayed as this strong person but is a failure among us all. The ML is way worse than expected. Also basically she gets real into the idea of the whole contract minion relationship which is a definite signal of Stockholm syndrome.

OH I MOMENTARILY forgot the abusive and manipulative family for the FL. The mom forces a contract on her for money, the brother steals the said money, and they basically try to sell her to the ML . It is weird and terrible.


I personally thought that Meteor garden was bad but I was in fact wrong. So so so wrong.

This definitely should be hidden from the world forever and ever and ever.

Also if I could give this a zero I wouldn't, I would give it a -1.

I haven't finished this drama yet. I watched it because I saw many good reviews about this, and I saw a teaser which was fun to watch. Personally I didn't like it...I watched up to episode 4, but stopped, my reasons are:
(WARNING: May contain spoilers)

Park Shin Hye terrible acting/ character
This drama is kinda old and her acting has definitely improved a lot! When I was watching it tho I always cringed at PSH, sometimes idrk if it's because of her naive shy vulnerable character or because it's her acting...
Her character is really annoying, it's so stupid and has no confidence what so ever, she needs to talk! I understand that it's because of her past bullying, but I can't deal with it anymore :(

The plot is confusing and not in depth
I don't get PSH character, maybe with more episodes I can understand her character better.
How did Oh Jin Rok fall for PSH from watching her pick up rubbish, I find that really stupid

Sorry for bad grammar.

Really really good episode 1.

Dropped the show as early as episode 6. I wanted a little bit of romance with a bit of suspense to spice it a bit.

At first, the show had a really interesting plot with good looking actors. The show did good in introducing the players of the show.

By episode 2, I started skipping from time to time. The show was tagged as Romance/Thriller/Suspense, but I don't feel the romance. What there is, is just barely an unrequited love. I was also not thrilled in any way, I was bored. Bored to the point of dropping the show. Not for me I guess.
