A tsundere lawyer and a flirty con artist!

Disclaimer: I will update this review as the episodes keep updating


Watched the first 3 ep, and, oh my god. I have no words. The comedy and plot is really interesting! I was a bit hesitant at first but am not disappointed! Their chemistry and the sexual tension asdfghjkl it got me hiding behind my hands

I'm interested to see where this story goes, and who exactly is Haruto. The only thing we know is that he is involved in a fraud case handled by Ryoma's co-worker. Ryoma also knows this, but decided to use Haruto anyway since he's useful. And Haruto is in love with Ryoma...or, is he really???

As expected of a con man, even I am not sure if his confession was the truth or is he just trying to trick Ryoma for some hidden reason?? His obsession with Ryoma sound genuine which made me even more curious as who and why he is in love with Ryoma.

I cannot wait to see how this story unfolds. Crossing my fingers that they won't flop this :0

Um, why make it a spinoff?

The rating I give is relating to the overall story (original story + this spinoff)

I mean, I appreciate them making this episode for us to see their "future" life...but...honestly, they could just put this as a normal episode. There really is nothing special, and it just shows their life a little bit after a year or so.

Disclaimer - Here is a summary of the episode if you don't want to watch this lmao. It's so short and nothing that I can write it in bullet points XD

- Takara went overseas 3 weeks ago, and then came back.
- Taishin misses him and they spend time together
- Taishin's bday is tomorrow, turning him 20 aka the legal age to drink, so Takara made him food and gave him alcohol.
- Taishin got drunk and confesses to Takara about how lonely his was - feeling like maybe it was difficult to be in a distance relationship if it ever happens. Takara saying he used to feel the same, but no longer cares and wants to be with Taishin no matter what.
- Taishin then fell asleep cause he drunk lol
- He woke up, dun remember much. Takara be like "let's go for a walk, Taishin."
- Taishin dokidoki because Takara said his name, Takara then got embarassed.

- In the entire episode, their friend (i forgot her name), is a fujoshi, who is writing a novel based on them. In the end, her novel will be adapted into a series

THE END


Yep, it was that short wwwww So, yeah, don't expect anything unique about this spinoff! BUT HEY THEY ARE STILL CUTE

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me!

Finished watching this drama and now asking myself why did I go through this torture fest once again and make myself suffer. This drama had it all from the start... great production house, an interesting storyline and a good cast to boost, but fumbled it all when it didn't know how to execute the story.

After S1, I thought here we go, maybe set in the present timeline and the teasers showing some kinda reincarnation plotline and all the yearning(which I am a sucker for), this season is going to just erase all the bad memories of S1. But once again utter disappointment.

This drama kept failing to tell us the backstory of the characters in the present timeline. By the time it catches a break and comes around, its already halfway through and I couldn't care less by then. Which was the same thing that happened in S1. And I don't even want to get into all the plot holes because there was so many that I lost count and then gave up all together. I was bored out of my mind by the end and couldn't care how it ended...

I wish this drama just focused on the story as it did for the action scene, because the action scenes in this drama was amazing!!!! That was the only good thing I could say after watching this drama.

If you want fluff, well this story got you covered!!

I finally finished it and what can I say, as a sucker for fluff story without any conflict, this hint all the spots for me!
...buuuut I will say that some won't like it because of that exact reason; the story is just filled with cute and sweet moments.

If you are someone who prefer very deep story with unique storyline, this story may not be for you.
BUT, if you are looking just for a story to pass the time with that will filled your heart with warmth, WELCOME TO THE CLUB!

I understand that some will hate Taishin's very naive personality, but honestly, I don't mind it. In fact, I'm kind of glad he was the way he is because due to how naive he is, he will say everything that he does not understand or is confused about, especially when it's towards Takara. AND THIS MY FRIEND, AVOIDED ANY SORT OF CONFLICT. LIKE, THERE IS LITERALLY ZERO CONFLICT.

I'm just tired of watching BLs with conflict that is either very predictable or unnecessary. I AM HONESTLY VERY HAPPY THIS STORY HAS NONE OF IT!! Hurray for healthy communication :DDD

And Takara as a character is nothing special, but I do like how he's also - most of the time - say what he thinks, which in my opinion balances well with Taishin's 'dumbness'.

My final words will be; if you prefer story with unique one of a kind deep message, this story is not for you.
I recommend just watch this if you ever feel like watching something light and will make you smile with no worry of the ML every breaking up!

I miss these two honestly, and I might rewatch after awhile because they are just cute!

Really Good

Tan Jianci is phenomenal in any role. In this drama he portrays a quirky, overly-thrifty IT genius perfectly. He is funny, smart and a great judge of character. And, a little naive when it comes to human nature because he is a very good person.

I found very little wrong with this drama. I thought the story was very good, and each cast member was perfectly aligned with their character. I really enjoyed the way everyone developed and adjusted with the difficulties and tasks they were given, and grew into a truly unified team battling cyber crime.

I especially liked the protection tips that were presented clearly at the end of each episode. It was a nice touch for those who are unaware of the ability of the technology around us, and the people who use it to defraud and steal from others.

This is a very good drama, and I will be watching again.

It's a Good Drama but not THE BEST

First thing first, for those who watch this drama because they expect a romantic theme from early episodes, they should wait and be patient. I’m one of those viewers who watch for the genre and it surprise me big time, from episode 1-24, there’s no romance between the ML & FL whatsoever, they maybe respect one another but as a teacher student nothing more than that… It’s all about Political conflicts of the characters background Xue – Yan & endless conspiracies among them, during these episodes it’s infuriates me ‘cuz the ML is a very smart and calm character but the FL so rebellious & overconfidence (though she’s a goddamn villain but she seem to be getting restart like a game, go back to the checkpoint from the beginning before she make herself a bonafide villain). However Episodes 25-31, it’s getting interesting, I’m totally hooked inside the story even though the Romantic part still in progress there’s no result yet. Then from Episode 32 (which clearly reveal the ML intention i.e romantic decision towards FL definitely well written)and the rest is history.
The ML became so fragile and abnormal in the 30+ Episodes.
The Emperor is a dumb idiot character, he clearly knew that his cousin (his Xue Uncle daughter) was a pathetic btch he still slept with her when she use her cheap seduce trick which she became his another harem wife, seems like he mistakenly think with his balls not brain.
When FL run to the army base camp of yan and convice the soldiers general that she’s a friend of Yan Lin and they believe her like that… that doesn’t make sense.
I like all the characters that the ML considered as friends, they are funny & loyal.
From the original poster of this drama it’s already shows that the ML & FL won’t be close or have romantic feelings to one another that soon, it takes time and yes KUNNING PALACE is full of CUNNING people indeed.
This drama has a new style of storytelling, it seems like Bai Lu character goes back through time but it’s not because its only a story inside a novel which is totally fiction and her character in the story goes back through time to her previous self or reincarnation for a second chance. Anyway it’s a good drama but boy from Ep. 01-24 imo its to dull and slow burn, it’s always argument and all that.
Even though Bai Lu was her stage name, in an Episode where her character was framed, the main items in the scenes was all about the ‘Bai Lu’ paper (types of premium paper use specifically inside Royal Palace)…. her own stage name just pops-up in a dialogue.

Don't read reviews just watch it right now!

This is my 1st review even though I've watched around 100 kdramas. Its just that i am that much hyped after finishing this. so whether you should watch this or not? I'd recommend it 100% but still few key points for you guys to decide whether to watch it or not
• If you're a fan of either main leads then absolutely watch it you'll not be disappointed.
• If you're Action/Mystery fan the this is for you. There are tons of action scenes and the mystery behind PSJ & the plans of evil camp will keep you hooked
• You want something refreshing apart from generic kdrama

I don't know how to list more but just watch it. Of course finish season 1 first & I liked season 2(9.0) better than season 1(8.5).

Happy watching ✌️

Beyond your typical C-Drama

I did not have much expectations when I decided to watch this drama since it has been a while when I added this drama to my watch list. I love the actor Miles Wei/ Wei Zhe Ming and I have watched multiple of his dramas especially in the genres I love.
At first I was a bit thrown off with the english title but I decided to give it a shot, and it surely did not disappoint.

Proceeding to the actual contents of the C-Drama: I really love how well rounded the drama was made, it is not your typical drama storyline. It was able to tackle beyond the love story of the main leads, and brought in other important factors which help create balance within the story. The drama does includes tropes but it also does not skip on tackling real life problems and scenarios where we can see how the different characters handle and process these situations. It also includes scenes where characters start questioning and initiating conversations on topics that can be difficult to discuss but are important. I also enjoyed watching the different love stories within the drama and the character developments of each character.

This drama is a must watch and is now part of my top chinese dramas that I have watched throughout the years. Will for sure rewatch this again
