ML and FL are extremely annoying. Show meant for teenagers

The TV show in question is not worth your time, as it has several issues that make it quite frustrating to watch. Firstly, the acting is extremely annoying and unconvincing, which can be quite jarring for anyone who is used to watching high-quality performances. Additionally, the script is poorly written, with a storyline that is both predictable and boring. It almost seems as if the show was produced with teenagers in mind, as the level of maturity exhibited by the characters and their interactions is quite low.

Furthermore, the cast of the show is quite disappointing, with no stand-out performances or chemistry between the actors. This lack of chemistry makes it difficult to connect with the characters or become invested in their storylines. The sound effects used in the show are also quite distracting and can be quite grating on the nerves after a while.

I recognized the ML who played the emperor with Rosy Zhao in “oh my emperor” drama. It was nice, at first, to see him playing a more vivacious and lively character, until he became a spoiled brat. She was no better and her character was not at all convincing.

Overall, I would not recommend this show to anyone looking for a well-written and engaging drama. It is simply not worth your time, and you will likely end up feeling quite frustrated and disappointed after watching just a few episodes. Save your time and find something more worthwhile to watch.

I found this drama very entertaining. It became my favorite drama due to the impressive portrayal of the lead actors; Jung Somin and Jung Haein are great actors, very versatile, and they have comedic timing. I'm impressed by how Jung herein act using his eyes. Song jumin can also have different emotion in a single act. I appreciate how the storyline does not solely focus on their love story. Many scenes will make you cry and laugh. So far good. I hope they will have a lot of projects in the near future. I also hope their ratings will improve. They have great chemistry.

This is not my final review OK?!

Please Feel at Ease Mr. Ling.
Plot:
I am not fan of youth Chinese drama but still I watch them. So first of all this is not the first kind of drama that I encounter that has a the same plot but it will change on how they put things together by having a good scripting and character build up. This one is kind of cute if you watched "put your head on your my shoulder" I'm not sure if that's the right title, then I would say that this one is going to be good. By the way the first 3 episodes seems to be in a hurry or is just me who has a lot of expectation.
Character:
To be honest the FL here is one of my favorite. I watch her dramas and she's good at it. The ML is cute and domineering at the same time. (Lets talk about it when I'm done watching it OK?!)
Currently watching this drama!!!

The Beauty of First Love

The premise is basic and cliché, centering around 'first love.'

What's so special about first love? According to ChatGPT, first love is often considered special due to its novelty and intensity, leaving a lasting emotional imprint and shaping one's perception of relationships. This formative experience, marked by idealism and innocence, evokes nostalgia and plays a significant role in personal growth. Cultural portrayals in literature and art further underscore its unique status, highlighting the unconditional and uncomplicated nature of first love. These combined factors contribute to its cherished and memorable place in many people's lives.

I always watch both Kim Soo Hyun's and Chae Jong Hyeop's projects, so I have to watch this one too!

This drama tells the story of the ML who has had a crush on the FL since high school for 10 years. From the flashbacks, it seems they knew each other back then, but something is missing. We'll see in the upcoming episodes why ML never revealed his feelings. Meanwhile, for FL, her first love is not ML. But we'll see, first love is special, but last love is more important, right? XD

For the first two episodes, here are my thoughts:
1) So far, the story is smooth without many unnecessary scenes.
2) Another loser was born. Hu Yeong just smiles every time he is with Hong Ju.
3) The chemistry between Kim Soo Hyun and Chae Jeong Hyeop is great. I can't wait until they officially become a couple.
4) It seems like ML is not just an admirer of FL; maybe there's something about his move to the USA. We'll have to wait and see.
5) As we know, FL's best friend also likes ML. I hope the writer doesn't create unnecessary conflict between FL and her best friend.

I really hope the story isn't just about a crush/admirer becoming an official couple but has more depth.
Let's keep watching episodes 3-8!

Too boring to continue because the plot is bad and not much exciting.

"Welcome to Milele Village" is a medical drama dealing with an African country. I didn't like the plot and have watched 4 episodes.

The Synopsis: By chance, Ma Jia, a doctor from the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University, joined the 25th Chinese medical team to aid Sanna and went to Africa. Faced with completely different environments and huge cultural differences between China and Africa, Ma Jia experienced both persistence and giving up. He adjusted and corrected his mentality to gradually understand what it means to be a Chinese foreign aid doctor in practice. During the two years of foreign aid, during the physical and mental training, and under the scrutiny of emotions and low spirits, Ma Jia and his partners in the foreign aid medical team were stationed in "Maile Village," experiencing happiness, touching reunions, separations, and exciting experiences.

I am not interested in continuing, so I am dropping it. I think the acting is okay, but not exceptional.

It’s a chore to watch the first 2 eps

This review is based on 2 eps, of course I’ll update it if I keep watching, if I can find the power to actually keep going!

Is this a wuxia drama? No, not really. If you think the FL’s hand blocking 5-7 moves slowly (so slowly, so disjointedly that it looks more like acting than fighting!) qualify this as the greatest wuxia drama of the year, then you really need to go watch the 90s wuxia lol. In ep1, FL fights a bunch of bad guys, who is trying to kill this 1 dude, but all she did was knocked them unconscious (maybe, you see them unconscious but the number ain’t seem to come down really), or knock them away somewhere, so they proceed to kill the dude she tries to protect. So you wonder what’s the point? Or are you retarded? Like if your enemy is trying to kill, being soft just getting yourself killed? But whatever, let’s move on to ep2, where ML gets to show off his awesome kungfu skill, which show him fly up in the air, swing out his hands, and his enemies drop like flies. Again, I wouldn’t call this wuxia, I call this fantasy style fighting, where ppl just magically get defeated! All fight scenes end in like 1-3moves aren’t count as fight scenes, guys. If you claim yourself a wuxia drama, at least show us a decent fight scene.

Then we need to talk about the defying physics of the FL, she who stood on top of the bamboo tree (or some super tall tree, at least 3m, I’m being generous here, more like 5m, but let’s say 3m), talking to lowbies on the ground. Not only we see the trees sway like crazy, she stands perfectly still! Amazing kungfu! She’s not on the tree, she’s actually hovering up in the air! We also see how she can converse normally with those lowbies, who are at least 3m below her, without looking at them, or raising her voice, they can still converse normally like they are next to each other. Amazing kungfu those lowbies have! Pity they used their kungfu in the wrong area (strengthen their hearing instead of their fighting skills >_>). Or my ears just got that bad from wearing headphones! That I’m having trouble hearing ppls about 2m away if I’m in a forest with so much winds and leaves rubbing against each other sound, and I’m facing away from them!

Do the characters follow the book? I don’t care, and I doubt the leads’ fandoms care lawl. Do their costumes look bad, and not suitable for the S+ title the drama was supposed to have due to the amount of money invested in it? No, because they supposed to be jianghu ppl, they meant to dress simple. So I’m actually fine with their costumes. Do they have chemistry? To me, no. I’m baffling with the way they interact with each other. They were supposed to know each other for a very long time. FL seems to look down/dislike ML because he’s scheming and she doesn’t necessarily trust him. Yet next moment, if she gets the chance, she tries to play cutesie with him 0.o and those cutesie moments are forced, and not natural. Not only that, for someone who know each other a long time, I’m expecting funny banter now and then, instead I got nothing but bland, long winded dialogue that make me don’t want to read the subtitles. Or at least it questions whether I would like this series more if I don’t have to spend effort in reading and trying to understand where it’s going. If I know Chinese, I could have it on the background, and therefore enjoy it more?

TLDR: if you are a fan of either of these two, you MIGHT like it. If you are not, you won’t lol! And if you do, good on you! Nothing to drive home about this drama, at least based on the first 2 eps.

PS: spare me the whole you must give it 10eps, before it gets good! Some other series is either half way through by ep10 or near finish by then lol!

First Impression of Legend of Fei

I'm 4 episodes in and I have more Cons than Pros when it comes to this drama. This first impression is based on the drama only, I have not read the book.

Cons:
1. FL. Her acting is off sometimes in these early episodes. Like she's going through the motions. Is she supposed to be this wooden and stoic?
2. FL's false eye lashes are distracting. She has rather large eyes to begin with and she doesn't need the extra thick eye liner and fake lashes.
3. Costume for the FL seems too modern. She wears slim black pants and a short robe, which looks almost like a jacket, while almost everyone else wears a calf length robe. The designs of the jacket are too modern, like jackets one would see on boy band performers.
4. Villains have the craziest eye brows I've seen in a C drama
5. A couple of the scenes are too unrealistic. Yes, I get that this is a fantasy drama, but she gets whipped by her mother and doesn't suffer any major damage. While the ML is imprisoned, the two are just having a long chat through a hole in the prison wall. WTF?
6. ML is too much of a baby face. He looks way too young for FL. I'm aware that there is a 10 year age gap between the two main leads.

Pros:
1. I appreciate that the some of the wigs have white hairs. In most of the C dramas that I've watched, it seems that everyone has jet black hair into their 60s.
2. I first saw Wang Yibo in the Untamed and wanted to watch him play a character different than Lan Wangi. Nice to see him play a character different than his real life persona.

This is just my first impression. If I continue with the drama, I may revise my review.
