10/10 Great!
10/10 Brilliant mystery from start to finishREBOOT quickly became one of my favorite J-dramas of the year. The story wastes no time pulling you into its mystery, with constant twists, strong character development, and a pace that keeps every episode engaging. The cast is outstanding, especially Suzuki Ryohei and Toda Erika, who deliver unforgettable performances. While a few reveals can be guessed early, the emotional impact and gripping finale make the journey worthwhile. A must-watch for fans of suspense and investigation.

So much potential
I had to give this 5.x because my policy for DNF due to fatal flaws is lower than 6. I won't finish this series even though it has a lot of positive qualities. I'm happy for the female lead to actually have this lead role, as she's been working in numerous shows through many types of characters! At the same time, I don't think that the assigned actors are glamorous enough or have enough gravitas to successfully carry the shifts of the show - although they really put their hearts into it and I admire them. There was just something about most scenes that felt like they were practicing on set - so not totally convincing.I love all the red colors, the cinematography, and the music is inspiring and appropriate.
It's just that the story is so utterly predictable.
The mistakes that are made while pursuing intrigue are almost childish. I quit watching when the princess' pass was handed to the enemy, it was so stupid, it didn't make any sense in terms of the actors' role, objectives, and inside information, and it creates an opportunity for a bunch of nonsense and problems that serve only to drag out the drama. Such a choice, like several before that, just lead to more predictable and unnecessary hijinks. I chalk this up to poor writing and that's the main issue with this series.
The actors are acting deep, as if they're really involved with complex decisions and profound implications, but the things that they choose to do to further their ambitions, and the responses from their opponents are quite simple, and frankly, boring. Nothing is as complex as they behave, so the story alludes to depth but doesn't achieve the richness suggested.
How could the characters, declared to be so smart, really make continuous weak choices? We've been told repeatedly within the show that they are amazing and powerful, only because the written actions fail to demonstrate it.

A Drama That Needed More Breathing Room
Too Much Going On, Not Enough DevelopmentNo Gain No Love started off strong for me. The first half was genuinely fun, fast-paced, and filled with entertaining characters. I enjoyed the humor, the strong female characters, and the refreshing take on soft masculinity. The production quality was solid, and there were plenty of interesting storylines that had potential. Unfortunately, the drama eventually became a victim of trying to do too much at once.
There were simply too many plotlines, relationships, and side stories competing for attention. Instead of enriching the narrative, most of them ended up feeling underdeveloped or rushed. Several storylines either received weak resolutions or no resolution at all. Ji Uk's parents, Hae Young's ex, the complicated relationship between Hae Young and her mother, and even some of the major emotional conflicts never received the depth they deserved.
My biggest issue was that the drama constantly introduced interesting ideas but rarely gave them enough time to breathe. Everything felt underutilized. There were so many relationships that could have been explored further, yet very little emotional development actually happened. By the end, I felt like I had spent twelve episodes watching setup without getting enough payoff.
The romance was probably the biggest disappointment for me. I like both Shin Min Ah and Kim Young Dae individually, but together they simply didn't work for me. I never felt much chemistry between them, especially during the romantic scenes, which often felt awkward rather than heartfelt. Considering how much the story relied on their relationship, that lack of spark became impossible to ignore.
Ironically, I found the friendships far more engaging than the main romance. The bromance and the sisterhood between the female characters were genuinely enjoyable and often more interesting than whatever the main couple was doing. The second couple also completely stole the show for me. Their relationship had more energy, more chemistry, and more memorable moments than the main pairing.
Another major frustration was the excessive product placement. I usually don't mind product placement in dramas because it's unavoidable, but this might be one of the few dramas where it genuinely annoyed me. It felt like every time the leads were together, they were advertising something. There were moments where emotional scenes would suddenly pause for product placement, completely killing the momentum. At one point, it genuinely felt like the drama cared more about selling products than developing its relationships. I have never been this irritated by product placement in a drama before.
The handling of serious storylines was also inconsistent. The drama wanted to tackle family trauma, parental neglect, abandonment issues, and emotional wounds, but often resolved these conflicts in ways that felt rushed or unsatisfying. Hae Young's relationship with her mother had the potential to be one of the strongest emotional arcs in the series, yet it never received the depth or closure it needed. The same applies to several other storylines that were introduced with weight but concluded with little impact.
The comedy remained enjoyable throughout, and there were definitely moments that made me laugh. However, the drama often struggled with balancing its comedic and serious elements. Some emotional moments were immediately followed by jokes that completely undermined the tension.
Overall, this is a drama that had all the ingredients to be something much better. It had a talented cast, interesting themes, strong production values, and some genuinely entertaining moments. But by trying to tell too many stories in only twelve episodes, it ended up giving most of them only surface-level treatment.
I didn't hate it, and I was entertained enough to finish it, but it felt surprisingly underwhelming given the cast and potential. For me, the second couple, the friendships, and the comedy carried the drama far more than the main romance ever did.
Rating: 8/10 (too generous) – A fun watch with good moments, but too many underdeveloped storylines and a lack of chemistry in the main romance keep it from reaching its full potential.

Great Acting by Ryan Cheng. Great Character Development.
If I had my way, the English title for this drama would simply be its native name, Mo Li, rather than The First Jasmine. The original title is a brilliant double entendre: it combines "Mo" from Mo Xiuyao and "Li" from Ye Li. But phonetically, Mo Li (莫离) translates to "don't leave." This hidden meaning perfectly captures Ye Li’s deep devotion to her loved ones, echoing the tragic backstory of her life long before she ever married Mo Xiuyao.At its core, The First Jasmine is a deeply touching story with beautifully written characters. Even though it’s a costume drama set in what appears to be the Tang Dynasty era, its moral dilemmas and emotional beats feel incredibly relevant to our modern world.
Both Bai Lu and Ryan Cheng (Cheng Lei) are veteran actors, and they both deliver incredibly convincing performances. However, I have to give a special shoutout to Ryan Cheng. His character, Mo Xiuyao, is wonderfully complex and layered. On the surface, he appears bitter, angry, and resigned to his fate. But beneath that exterior is a hot-blooded man fiercely determined to bring his enemies to justice. Confined to a wheelchair for years, he is deeply frustrated by his physical limitations. Imagine having to sit face-to-face with the person responsible for the massacre of your brother and your army, yet being unable to strike back because doing so would plunge the country and his own family into ruin. He has no choice but to endure the pain in silence.
Yet, when he’s with Ye Li, we see a completely different side of him. He starts off bemused and puzzled by her, which gradually melts into profound gentleness and care. Ryan Cheng captures this emotional duality flawlessly, bringing out the exact nuances the character requires. Bravo to him for such a stellar performance!
What I also loved is that every character is deeply human. There are no cartoonish, one-dimensional villains here. Everyone’s actions are rooted in their lived experiences and circumstances. Every major character has a compelling, understandable motivation: Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao are driven by a desire for truth and justice for their fallen loved ones; the Empress Dowager seeks power out of a desperate need to protect herself and her son; Mo Jingli just wants to reclaim what he believes is rightfully his. This nuanced portrayal feels much closer to the messy reality of real life, which is a refreshing change from the black-and-white morality we often see in Hollywood.
Ultimately, The First Jasmine grapples with a profound question: How should you act when facing an enemy who has slandered your family and murdered thousands of your people? Mo Xiuyao has to bow to the Empress Dowager regularly, knowing she orchestrated his brother's death. Ye Li faces a similar struggle—how do you treat the woman who was your mother’s best friend, even when you know she’s responsible for ruining the prestigious academy your grandfather built? Should they just accept the status quo to maintain national stability? Or should they risk everything to seek justice for the dead?
The author brilliantly resolves this agonizing dilemma with a beautiful philosophical anchor: a passage from Confucius’s The Great Learning (Daxue). It reminds the audience that true change and justice must begin from within:
"Ancient leaders who wanted to spread virtue throughout the world began by governing their own states well.
To govern their states well, they first harmonized their families.
To harmonize their families, they cultivated their own character.
To cultivate their character, they aligned their minds.
To align their minds, they made their intentions completely sincere.
And to make their intentions sincere, they extended their knowledge to the absolute limit.
This expansion of knowledge began with investigating the nature of things."
The First Jasmine is a gorgeous, thought-provoking journey. It asks the hard questions about duty, revenge, and forgiveness, and answers them with grace. Highly recommended!

Le scénario est classique… mais ce duo vaut le détour !!!
Franchement, je ne savais pas trop à quoi m'attendre en lançant "Husbands in Action"… et au final, j'ai passé un super moment 🤣🫶🏻On y suit deux hommes qui n'ont absolument rien en commun. D'un côté, un ancien policier au caractère bien trempé. De l'autre, un vétérinaire aussi gentil que maladroit. Leur seul point commun ?!? Ils ont tous les deux aimé la même femme ❤️
Lorsque celle-ci disparaît mystérieusement avec leur fille, ils sont obligés de faire équipe malgré eux pour partir à leur recherche. Et forcément… entre les poursuites, les bagarres, les chamailleries permanentes et les situations complètement absurdes, leur mission ne va pas être de tout repos 🤣💥
Honnêtement, c'est clairement leur duo qui fait tout le charme du film. Sur le papier, l'idée de réunir l'ex-mari, ancien flic, avec le nouveau mari, vétérinaire fan de sports extrêmes, pouvait juste être un "gimmick"… mais ça fonctionne vraiment. Ils passent leur temps à se lancer des piques, à se disputer pour un rien et à se mettre dans des situations improbables... Petit à petit, une vraie complicité s'installe entre eux, et c'est un régal à suivre 😭.
Le film assume totalement son côté complètement barré 🤡. Il ne cherche jamais à devenir un thriller sérieux ou réaliste. Ici, tout est prétexte à l'humour : les dialogues, les bagarres, les poursuites, les kidnappings… Franchement, ça m'a rappelé les vieux "buddy movies" du style "Rush Hour", où le plaisir vient surtout du duo principal plutôt que de l'intrigue elle-même 😂.
Le scénario, lui, reste assez classique. On devine facilement où l'histoire va nous emmener et il n'y a pas vraiment de gros retournements de situation. Mais honnêtement… je m'en fichais un peu 😅. Le rythme est super efficace, les 1h40 passent à toute vitesse et je ne me suis jamais ennuyée.
Et puis il faut quand même parler de Si Nae 🤣. Je ne vais pas juger ses goûts amoureux hein… mais il faut reconnaître qu'ils sont particulièrement… éclectiques 😂. D'un côté, un ancien policier au tempérament explosif. De l'autre, un vétérinaire tout gentil qui ferait presque plus penser à son fils qu'à son rival 😭. Honnêtement, ce décalage m'a fait rire plus d'une fois et rend leurs chamailleries encore plus savoureuses.
Ce que j'ai aussi apprécié, c'est que derrière cette comédie complètement assumée se cache finalement un joli message sur les familles recomposées ❤️. Au-delà des gags et de l'action, le film parle surtout d'accepter l'autre, de dépasser son ego et de comprendre qu'une famille peut prendre différentes formes. Je ne m'attendais pas forcément à retrouver ce petit côté touchant dans un film aussi déjanté.
Bref, je ne vous promets pas le film de l'année… mais je peux vous promettre une chose... pendant 1h40, impossible de s'ennuyer 🤣🫶🏻. C'est drôle, rythmé, complètement assumé dans son délire… et parfois, c'est exactement le genre de film dont on a besoin ✌🏻

8/10 Your Dear Daddy (2026) 6/10
8/10 Your Dear Daddy (2026) 6/10Your Dear Daddy (2026) is a romantic comedy BL series that tells the story of Saithan, a young man who carries emotional scars from past relationships and no longer believes in love, and Sila, the owner of a farm and hotel. The two meet and begin their relationship as a one-night stand, which eventually becomes the starting point of a much deeper story.
The series is available on IQIYI.
For me, the story develops at a steady pace and does a good job of establishing the characters and their personal struggles. The relationship between the leads progresses naturally, and the overall storytelling is easy to follow.
However, after finishing the series, I felt that something was missing. While the story itself was enjoyable, the ending did not feel completely satisfying to me. It felt as if some elements were left unresolved, leaving me with the impression that the story was not fully complete. This was the main reason why I lowered my overall score.
The acting is one of the strongest aspects of the series. The cast delivers natural and believable performances, making it easy to connect with the characters and their emotions throughout the story.
The production quality is also commendable. The cinematography, visual composition, lighting, color palette, and soundtrack all work together very well to create the right atmosphere for each scene. These elements help enhance the emotions and overall viewing experience.
My favorite aspect of the series is definitely the filming locations. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, especially the farm and garden settings. These locations add a great deal of charm to the series and make many scenes visually memorable.
Overall, Your Dear Daddy has several strengths, particularly its acting performances and production quality. While I felt that certain aspects of the story were not as complete as l had hoped, the cast and production team did enough to make the series enjoyable to watch.
Final Rating: 6/10
These are simply my personal opinions. If you're interested, I would still recommend giving the series a try on IQIYI.

10/10 Retaking the examination of life, pass or fail?
For those who are wondering if its a BI, nope. Waking up as one's younger self, how wishful.... yet if given a chance anyone would want to return and mend their regretful actions. Cast for this series, renowned people of the agency, have delivered a flawless performance. I loved the high school scene where veterans donned uniforms, making 1965 liners look adorable. Prikhing and Ploy were together again uwu... please someone heed my prayers and cast them in a GI with tungsten content. Ever since the flop 'My gear, Your gown, Phagun and Pawin have appeared in multiple series in supporting roles. I think they should be offered script which can easily mold into their regular self, ie; Pawin played well in Eclipse while i liked Phagun in10 years ticket. Art team has worked hard to portray the backdrops from both time lines. I wouldn't suggest this drama to everyone because it needs a broken heart cured with a coupe of wine to relish such profound narratives. Khaotung's soundtrack was rather too peppy compared to theme. Story being slow paced might test your patience so if you r just curious as to what caused them to turn 15 at 55, here's the answer- Xerox machine.Their ID card photos got photoshopped a little during copying (no logic) Every character meets a comforting end by the last episode that brings viewers a thought for the day,
'every age of life is significant in its own way completing one whole'

10/10 my own opinions
10/10 my own opinions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Up until now, l've watched 2 episodes, and everything looks amazing-from the script to the acting. P'Runch, played by Lingling, is portrayed with incredible depth and nuance. It's clear from these two episodes that the script has been adjusted to give P'Runch more screen time and room to shine. I really have to applaud Ling; her emotional acting in Episode 1 was phenomenal, and her voice diction has visibly improved so much. As for N'Neen, this role suits Orm perfectly, and she is absolutely killing it. Lastly, P'Kik as P'Runch's mother is just unmatched-l honestly can't think of anyone else who could pull off this character so flawlessly.
I'm highly anticipating the upcoming episodes!

A Tender Drama That Leaves a Lasting Impression
A historical Chinese romance that blends palace intrigue, revenge, political strategy, and a slow-burn love story.✅What works well
◍Strong female lead: Ye Li is intelligent, calm, and resourceful rather than relying on luck or clichés. Her quest for revenge is balanced by emotional depth, making her one of the drama's biggest strengths.
◍Complex romance: The relationship begins as a political marriage between two wounded people who slowly learn to love each other. Their romance feels earned through shared hardships rather than instant attraction.
◍Political intrigue: Court conspiracies, succession struggles, and strategic maneuvering give the story substance beyond romance. The revenge plot unfolds through intelligence and planning rather than constant action.
◍High production quality: The costumes, sets, and cinematography create an elegant historical atmosphere that suits the story.
◍Music/OSTs: The music in **The First Jasmine** is elegant, emotional, and perfectly complements the historical setting. The orchestral score and traditional Chinese instruments enhance both the romantic and dramatic moments without overpowering the story. Overall, the soundtrack is memorable and helps deepen the emotional impact of the series.
❎Weaknesses
◍I feel like they didn't fully utilize some of the characters. They had the potential to play much more important roles in the story, but their characters ended up being wasted.
◍Towards the ending episodes, it felt like they had cut a lot of scenes. For example, in the last episode, just when Ye Li was about to kiss Mo Xiu Yao, the scene was cut. The fight between Mo Xiu Yao and Mo Jingli also felt heavily edited, as if several parts were removed.
👩🏻Actresses👨🏻Actors/ Characters
◍Bai Lu was incredible in this drama. I was already a big fan of hers, but this drama made me appreciate her acting on a much deeper level. Her character, Ye Li, was so complex and beautifully portrayed.Through Ye Li, I laughed, cried, celebrated her victories, and even felt satisfied when she got her revenge. And when she finally got her happy ending, I was genuinely happy for her. It really felt like I experienced all of her emotions and pain alongside her. 🥹💖
◍Ryan Cheng also did an incredible job. I'd already watched some of his previous dramas, so I was really happy to see him paired with Bai Lu. Their chemistry was amazing. 🥹✨His character was incredibly intense and carried so much grief on his shoulders. I loved watching him slowly let go of the pain, melt the ice around his heart, and gradually open up to and accept Ye Li. Their relationship developed so naturally, and it was one of my favorite parts of the drama. ❤️
◍Cai Zhengjie also did a great job. I'd seen him in a few mini-dramas before, so I was happy to see him in this role. However, I personally feel that they didn't make full use of his character, Mo Jingli. He had so much more potential, but the drama never fully explored it. At first, I really didn't like Mo Jingli, but as the story progressed, I actually started feeling sorry for him. He deserved so much more. Yes, he was a calculated person from childhood, but I believe his circumstances shaped him into that person. He wasn't born a villain—the situations he went through turned him into one. He lost his father, his position, the woman he loved, and in the end, even his life. And all of it happened because of one power-hungry Empress Dowager. Yes, he was wrong for killing innocent people and wasn't worthy of becoming emperor, but I still believe he at least deserved the chance to kill the Empress Dowager with his own hands.
◍I also feel like they wasted Han Mingxi's character. I was really looking forward to Lin Muran's performance because I'd seen him in *POJ*, where I absolutely loved his acting. Unfortunately, his character didn't get enough screen time or a meaningful storyline, which was quite disappointing.
◍Well, at first I didn't really like the emperor. I thought he wasn't worthy of the throne and even hoped someone else would become emperor. I also felt that he couldn't rule without relying on the Empress Dowager. But towards the end, he completely proved me wrong. He showed that he truly was worthy of the throne and had the qualities of a wise and capable emperor.
◍One thing I really didn't like was how they handled the Empress Dowager's ending. I wanted Ye Li to take her final revenge herself, but instead, they let the Empress Dowager die peacefully while feeling guilty. I really didn't understand why Ye Li suddenly became soft-hearted when it was finally time to kill her and complete her revenge. That part made no sense to me because almost everything that happened in the story was caused by that power-hungry Empress Dowager. After everything Ye Li had suffered because of her, I honestly felt the Empress Dowager deserved to face the consequences of her actions directly at Ye Li's hands.
💜Final verdict
The First Jasmine is best suited for viewers who enjoy intelligent protagonists, court politics, emotional character development, and romances built on trust and less misunderstandings. If you're expecting constant action, it may feel slow, but if you appreciate layered storytelling and character-driven historical dramas, it's one of the stronger Chinese costume dramas released this year.

10/10 The best series
10/10 The best seriesThis series had literally everything that No other BL had or has and will ever have. I"ve watched so many BLs in the past couple of years but I have to say, this is by far my favorite BL as it is literally about everyday people that have never been represented well in other BL series. They were always made fun of or were put in the series for comic relief (i.e. LBC, 2gether and etc...) those side characters were given the chance to shine through this series and I am so glad it was made. The actors are crazy amazing. Each character has a place in my heart.
The relationship between the couples are one of the healthiest and cutest I have ever come across. The way the Never hold grudges or if they did something wrong, they are ready to apologize and talk it out. No break ups in this series and that is another thing that makes this series different. If there is a misunderstanding, then it is literally covered by the next episode and not dragged out.
If you've been holding out in watching this, this is your sign to watch it! People saying "it's cringy or would've liked it if they made the romance comfortable to watch" comfortable for who? A lot of people have been conditioned to be the only compatible Love in BL has to include toxic masculine energy and has to be aggressive and etc... so they literally don't understand how a relationship between these main lead actors is possible as if they don't deserve love.
Before reading the negative comments on this series, please watch it for yourself and be the judge of it because this series is directed towards the Lgbtq+ community, it's not like other BL series that is catered for fujoshi.
