Fairytale for grownups
I must admit, the director was smart to compare erotic stories with fairytales. However, in my opinion, the way they mixed the two felt completely wrong — especially the use of cartoon characters. Maybe the film even agrees with me, but I think the two should remain separate, and one person cannot (or should not) write both. I consider fairytales pure and inspiring, while erotic writing — though also fantasy — feels dirty and corrupting. Because of this, I felt quite conflicted while watching this movie. I also found it somewhat hypocritical that the movie tries to impose rules on writing, since the nature of adult stories is precisely to break the boundaries of acceptable behavior.The actors and their characters felt mismatched. At least the main actors’ roles didn’t seem to suit them — they looked too innocent for the parts they were playing. As a comedy or romance, this movie is also weak. Its real strength lies in breaking moral taboos and making it in a slightly arousing way. Personally, I didn’t like the theme or the message, but I can see that many people enjoy it.

The most resilient people also need someone to lean on.
I finally finished watching it yesterday and it was a roller coaster of emotion. When it first came out I've honestly forgot about it and didn't watch it until I actually did a few weeks later and it was fun.This story was so tragic that it felt too realistic lol. I never really got that interested in the storyline, especially after the timeskip; I'll be honest. Not really any particular things I've noticed about the writing; it was just a personal thing.
I'm mostly writing this review due to Miao Jing because I loved her, especially her rage-baiting Chen Yi when they first reunited.
Miao Jing is a character who is resilient, assertive and kind. She grew up with a tough childhood. Her mother left her to live with her relative and they couldn't care less about her cause she was just an extra burden.
Her mom promised her a new stable home with a family but that came crashing down when the business she was a part of fell to shambles. Miao Jing never gave up and decided to stay with Chen Yi because he was the only person to ever show care and warmth of a family to her. That came crashing down as well when Chen Yi sent her away to protect her from a case he was involved in.
She was constantly told that she was too young and was constantly protected, but she was suffering from it because she wanted to be able to protect Chen Yi as well and share his burden that she couldn't when she was younger. So she was determined to become stronger; then came the timeskip, Miao Jing.
We notice how more confident she is; she doesn't hesitate to rage-bait Chen Yi or be assertive when it comes to Chen yi hiding things from her. Because she cares too much for him to carry this huge burden by himself and see him hurt. To her, it's better for both of them to be in the trenches than him, that is shown especially during the final episodes because she didn't hesitate to go after Chen Yi.
That's why I love her character, because she grew from being the powerless girl that everyone protected to a woman who stood on her own feet, not afraid to go into danger. It showed how resilient she was and how determined she was to not leave chen yi alone. I've gotta say I just love to see her ragebait chen yi in the beginning because she was like "you think I came back to chase you? got over yourself" lmao but it was kinda her motive.
Especially whenver chen yi came back, he had to do a double-take to make sure he was at the right home because of how much miao jing changed it or a new event that happened haha. She just really wanted Chen Yi to lean on her but to stop being hesitant as well because he kept drawing the line between them to protect her.
I feel bad for Chen Yi because he didn't have much of a family either; he looked tough and cold on the exterior but that was all a ruse to hide his soft-hearted self. We could tell how kind he was when he took in Tu Li and helped her with her situation. It's just sad that for such a kind-hearted boy, he also had low self-esteem when it came to pursuing Miao Jing. He never thought he was the perfect match because, after all, he came from a low background; he thought of himself as dirty and unclean compared to Miao Jing's ex and always wanted her to succeed and find someone who would treat her nicely and come from a better background than he did.
I feel like that also just showed how selfless he was; it seems in the novel he was quite a red flag lol. So im glad Miao Jing was there for Chen Yi and dared to cross that line multiple times to remind him how he had people that loved him and he should think twice before going into such dangers.
I'm sad we didn't get to see an engagement like many other people complained about, but I think this just shows how not everyone needs marriage and a ring to be happy and content. For many people, just being together and the promise of being together through thick and thin is enough, rather than a baby. People also forget just how much responsibility it is to raise a baby, but at least we got that marriage in the variety show they did to promote it, so it wasn't for nothing haha.
The acting wasn't bad, especially Zhang Jingyi; she portrayed a young, reserved teenage girl quite well, and the difference between older Miao Jing and her younger version. We can see how confident she got when she was older.
Song Weilong's acting is definitely better in this drama than the last one I watched of his, Shine on me. He really did have some great acting moments in this drama that made me change my opinion in terms of his acting. Especially the scene of him coming home, stunned everytime miao jing changed something.
Also, find yourself a partner that can restrict himself like Chen yi did because that man quit smoking and drinking when Miao Jing came back because he decided not to do it in front of her, like if that isn't love idk what is. The chemistry between the two was insane as well, so I hope they reunite for a new drama in the future.
This drama was a bit too realistic that it got me relating to both lead characters, so it hit a bit too close to home haha. also the ost's are really good; I'm definitely gonna add them to my playlists.

Mais uma canetada da Coreia.
Se tem uma coisa que a Coreia sabe é fazer é boas Fantasias e essa é mais uma delas.Que drama! Não consegui parar de assistir; ainda bem que já tinha todos os episódios disponíveis.
A trama é envolvente, cheia de mistérios e suspense, e a cada episódio a suposição que tinha era derrubada e uma nova reviravolta surgia.
A fotografia é belíssima, cenários deslumbrantes, parecia uma pintura em movimento.
Atuações impecáveis, a química dos protagonistas era tudo, mesmo que não focassem no romance, eles entregaram muito.
E ainda deixou um gostinho de quero mais, pode vir segunda temporada, eu estou pronta.
Adendo: Não sou fã de terror, pois sou cagona, mais esse me pegou de jeito, não me deu medo não. Valeu super a pena.

The verdict? Worth every minute.
I'll be honest: I started The Prosecutor's Proposal expecting a fairly typical legal BL. Instead, what I got was a surprisingly engaging blend of crime thriller, mystery, slow-burn romance, and emotional healing.The legal aspect is certainly there, but this drama is much more interested in the people behind the investigations than in the courtroom itself. At the heart of the story are two men whose lives have been connected by a tragedy that happened fifteen years earlier. One has spent his entire life carrying the stigma of being "the murderer's son," while the other grew up as "the victim's son." Watching these two slowly uncover the truth together while confronting their own past is what makes the story so compelling.
One thing I really appreciated is that the mystery actually feels like... a mystery.
Every new piece of evidence raises more questions than answers, and the drama does a good job of keeping the audience guessing without becoming unnecessarily convoluted. The investigation surrounding the old casino murder, the corruption within the prosecution, and the hidden connections between the characters all come together in a way that kept me genuinely invested until the very end.
The romance is another pleasant surprise.
The relationship between Joo Tae Seon and Lee Chae Ha is built on trust that develops little by little. Their chemistry isn't loud or overly dramatic; it's found in stolen glances, quiet conversations, and the gradual realization that the one person they should probably trust the least is becoming the one they rely on the most. Neither of them is emotionally available at the beginning of the story. They carry years of trauma, resentment, and guilt, and the drama never asks us to forget that. Instead, it allows them to slowly break down the walls they've built around themselves. Their romance never feels like an interruption to the thriller—it becomes another layer of the story.
Park Si Woo and Yoon Do Gun have fantastic chemistry, but beyond that, they both understand when to hold back. Some of the strongest scenes don't rely on dialogue at all. A simple look or a moment of silence often says far more than an emotional speech ever could. Their performances have been one of the most consistently praised aspects of the series, and it's easy to understand why.
Considering that each episode runs for only around twenty-five minutes, I was also impressed by how much story the drama manages to tell. It rarely wastes time, every episode pushes both the mystery and the characters forward, and the pacing makes it incredibly easy to binge. If anything, my biggest complaint is that I simply wanted more.

What was this even..
I might be in the small minority to absolutely utterly hate this show. Pure wastage of my precious times. The storyline was so messy and didn't make any sense,side characters were not given enough moments to make any impact. The romance felt flat for me tbh they fell in love quite fast for my taste and with such boring progress and then had their breakup arc and that lasted more than their dating era. I didn't feel any chemistry neither emotional attachment to the couple. The main lead had no facial expressions i was desperately wanting him to show some expressions but he hardly ever showed. He was injured and weak most of the times but only aura farmed with his face card which is not enough to impress me. Again a stupid stubborn female lead cannot make me root for them at all. She was unrealistically strong and got away with lot of bs and privileges. The only good performance was from the villains and they were the only interesting ones in the show. However instead of showing character development they decided to finish them. Disappointing and I don't understand the hype at all. Good for those who enjoyed cause i really tried but failedEsta resenha foi útil para você?

An updated, upgraded version to "A Round Trip to Love"
This version created a new story for a long-standing, complex relationship.it's a maze that hits walls, but sweeps you in, and managed to convey so much emotions, love and intimacy.
\\\\\\\\\\\\
- Let's talk about Zhu Sha (Lu Fang's sister) for a moment. Although she was often realistic and cold with Lu Fang, and chose to manage all the family business alone, she always took care of him throughout the years. excellent Supporting character.
Needs improvement:
- My OCD wanted to fix Yi Chen's messy hair so many times during the series.
- Episode 4, ( 05:36 ) Lu Fang broke character a bit.
- The scene where Yi Chen loads food, it's not necessary, they don't have to eat for real, they can pretend, that's why it's called "acting". Eating in front of camera too much is often looks as impolite.
- Another thing that was unnecessary, is massive smoking as self-harm. Find another way to express stress or nervousness without absorbing so many unrealistic disturbing amount of chemicals.
(By the way, I don't know why chinese in series encourage their young viewers to get addicted to cigarettes, as a shallow gimmick. Especially since most of the viewers who watch BL are self-awareness/ dominant teenage girls, addicted to skincare routines and matcha drinks.)
- There were parts that would have been better without the theme song. Just a clean instrumental in the background would have been less overpowering.

Great premise poor execution and lack of side character development
How to even start. I had great exceptions from this drama and started with enthusiasm. The fantasy elements and world building was fantastic in the drama. Even the story was really compelling and had me going thru for a lot of eps. There were few arcs that were so deep i nearly felt like i was watching multiple dramas in one drama. However not liking the main characters can really impact everything. Bai suho was really stubborn and annoying for me. I find her extremely annoying and lacking common sense. She had that main character syndrome and the show director had favoritism ( saying this cause i wanted fuling to be the main). Also the main male lead was mid and boring to me too. The romance was mid and cringe. The show was boringggg at most parts and had epic arcs at few parts. That being said, Fu ling was the only reason i watched this show. She was the plot for me. She made me ugly cry and root for her and i really think she deserved better. Chou zhan deserved character development badly but never got the chance :)). Also they were killing every side characters possible like it was getting tiring. Main characters ancestors story was more appealing and characters were more interesting than them. Lost potential from my side tbhEsta resenha foi útil para você?
Not bad. Not great, either.
It’s cheesy at times. I love sweeping/epic guilty pleasure epic romance, but this one just had not enough something, the weakness mostly centering on the women characters, including the lead.They were either embarrassing lame schemer villains, or supposedly brave types who just massively got in the way of others doing the heavy lifting (see?! I’m helping lift this whole pail of water all by myself right at this pivotal moment in my pink dress with no dirt on it! Weeee!), or one dimensional wise woman types (I actually liked this one, plastic surgery n’ all).
You know those scenes in the Star Wars movies with the Force ghosts? How it’s kinda uhhh, huh?! but you let it slide. This movie even has smiling Force ghosts. Cringe.
I liked a few of the side characters, esp the four Wei brothers, (loved Qu and his awesome face). Liu Yuning did a good job in his role as the ML, as well as the actor who played the FL’s dad, Ping.
I wasn’t a fan of saving nearly everything till the end. Romance, births, deaths, etc, it all gets packed into the last few eps and that made it feel rushed and glossed over. Felt like it just missed the mark on that.

GOATED PLOT AND CHARACTERS
Oh my god this was a riiiiiiide. First of all feng suige,your aura is unmatched. And miss yixiao you are the queen of all queens. The Romance was done so well in terms of enemies to lovers like it was done PERFECT. The development and progress was delicious. The plot and characters were everything. There was never a dull moment every single character and storyline mattered and had an imapct on me. This had by far one of the most amazing political storyline. Certain scenes were so heart trenching it made me cry. Goat is the only way to describe this. Such deep and heavy plot.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
BEST PIECE OF MEDIA EVER WATCHED
BEST ROMANCE show i have ever watched. Honestly words cannot describe how addicted i was to this show and how much emotions i felt . This drama put me into a massive slump cause i knew i will never find anything as good as this. The emotions were overflowing. This drama will never be replaced and will be the standard. I procrastinated watching it due to the fear of ending. That's how much attached i was. The emptiness after finishing will forever haunt me. The storyline was fun and engaging. The characters were fantastic .The chemistry and romance were the highlight and like no other. Ji bozai and mingyi were not just characters they were everything and beyond. Will forever cherish this and will forever be my number one .Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Amazing characters and epic political intrigue
From the very first episode i was hooked. The cinematography and plot gets you really invested from early on. The premise is so good that i was watching very addictively from episode 1 . You just cannot help but feel so much for all the side characters. Be it anger at the villains or frustrating,sadness. I feel like i experienced all kinds of emotions except for happiness for some reason,even though it's a happy ending. The best arc was when they went to save female lead's village. However from episode 27/28-39 was kinda boring and slowed down the pace for me. I think my only complain was it was kinda too long for no reason and there was seriously so much potential for the romance to be something more developed. Although i liked the romance i wished they had more scenes and moments. The characters were the highlight and i really enjoyed the storytelling. Again,for some reason this drama is just so sad to me that i cannot hear the songs without feeling ache in my chest. The start to middle part was the best in my opinion they kinda fumbled with the ending arc. But wont change the fact it was indeed an absolute fantastic storyline. All the villains were helpless and had tragic backstory except for maybe 2 . So you cannot just feel satisfaction for their downfall:)) . So many emotions, lastly it was indeed a very wild ride. 9/10Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Amazing plot with great political intrigue
Amazing storyline. The plot was the highlight for me and song mo my precious baby ily so much. The Romance felt like a subplot that will make you squeal. Their romance was short,easy, healthy and sweet. But it was just so precious nonetheless. Female lead was so cunning that you had to get up and clap sometimes. Also again,song mo's character will always be a standard whenever i am looking for a sweet but bold male lead. The plot was so smart and perfectly wrapped up that i watched from start to finish with no boring moments honestly. The side stories and evil character's downfall was satisfying. I cannot explain much but the storytelling was 10/10 for me.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
