Eu tenho um grande problema com muitas coisas presentes nessa serie

Eu acho que essa serie não foi feita para mim, ela tem muitas coisas que eu não aprecio muito que eu decidi ignorar pois eu queria saber até onde ia.

Primeiramente, todo o arco da morte da irmã dele e do amigo dele + vingança ter durado UM CAPITULO É SURREAL PRA MIM tipo todos os ocorridos acontecem numa rapidez de momentos que eu simplesmente não consigo criar empatia por ninguem que ta na serie tentando fazer alguma coisa

ALEM DE QUE esse subplot do policial pra mim é um carai de chato galera pqp eu não quero saber

Eu ia fala que acelerar as coisas foi o jeito que eles conseguiram de fazer com que a historia coubesse inteira em 9 capitulos mas se a porra da serie ia acabar com cliffhanger porque CARALHOS FOI ACELERADO TUDO AQUILO

tipo eu sei que é baseado numa novel e que a novel é longa e blablabla mas eles não perceberam que fazer isso ia só ficar ruim? não tinha a opção jogar fora alguns plots?sla mano da seu jeito

E eu de fato não queria falar mal de atuação porque vejo que a maioria dos atores são bem bons mas eu fico irritado com essa moda de colocar uma dublagem por cima do cara que ja ta falando ai eu que sou doido fico vendo o cara mexer a boca e não ter nada ou PIOR ELE COM A BOCA FECHADA E A DUBLAGEM ALI SE MATANDO DE FALAR se for colocar isso no minimo eu espero que tenha uma sincronia E QUE SEJA BOA porque eu consigo ver que o modo que ele ta falando não combina com o que ele ta falando e com o jeito que ele ta atuando ai fica 3 coisas diferentes com 3 sentimentos diferentes e eu preciso juntar os 3 pra chegar a avaliar na minha mente o que o personagem ta sentido.

Como eu disse não reclamo dos atores aqui pois eles parecem estar dando tudo de si pra fazer com que alguns personagens sejam suportaveis, mas o que de fato me irrita é a direção que essa serie tem. Eu sinto que to vendo uma serie criada pra trabalho escolar onde colocam um monte de coisa e no final nem terminam porque fodase ninguem vai ligar mesmo

dito isso ansioso pra ver se na segunda temporada isso melhora

Strong start but hard to stay till the end!

This Japanese adaptation was cute and pretty well done. The first five episodes flew by and were packed with so many fun, heartwarming moments. One of my favorite characters was her coworker who gave her the nickname "Jackson." He was always supportive of her and liked her for who she truly was, which made him incredibly easy to root for.

Around episode seven, though, things started to slow down for me. I also found myself rooting for a different character than the drama ultimately focused on. The main love interest came across as a bit of a red flag because of how rudely he treated the female lead when they first started working together. While he did grow as the story progressed I never completely got over his earlier behavior.

Overall, I'd still recommend giving this drama a try because it has a really strong and entertaining start. Just don't expect the second half to have the same energy as the beginning, and you may not feel as motivated to finish it.

Overrated? You've got it completely wrong !!!

This drama is a drama that perfectly showcases why YangDi are considered one of the most visually stunning pairings in Chinese dramas. Their chemistry is undeniably the biggest highlight of the series, and it only gets stronger as the story progresses. By the final episodes, their interactions feel incredibly natural, warm, and heart-fluttering, making them one of the best drama couples I've ever watched.

The first few episodes can be quite boring, especially if you know nothing about MOBA games. A significant amount of screen time is dedicated to promoting Honor of Kings, so viewers unfamiliar with the game may struggle to stay engaged. Likewise, if aerospace and space engineering aren't topics you're interested in, the drama may feel slow because a large portion of the story focuses on the male lead's career as an aerospace engineer.

Many people criticize the drama as propaganda, but I don't really see that as a problem. Almost every country's entertainment industry takes pride in showcasing its own achievements, Hollywood and many other film industries do the same. The purpose of this drama is clearly to promote two things: Honor of Kings and China's rapidly advancing aerospace industry, which was reaching remarkable milestones at the time. Considering the drama was produced by Tencent, that direction isn't surprising.

Fortunately, once the romance takes center stage, the drama becomes much more enjoyable. There are countless subtle romantic moments that will leave you smiling, while the story gradually reveals how the two leads were connected in the past and how fate brings them together again in the present.

The male lead initially appears almost perfect—handsome, exceptionally intelligent, highly accomplished in his profession, and even skilled at gaming. However, beneath that image lies someone with very real flaws. Despite his high IQ, he struggles to express his feelings, isn't very good at social interactions, can't cook, and even faces financial difficulties, which become one of the main conflicts early in the story. These imperfections make him feel much more believable and relatable.

The supporting cast is also wonderfully written. Rather than existing solely to push the romance forward, they each have meaningful relationships with the main characters. I especially loved the interactions between the leads and their respective parents. Those family moments are wholesome, heartwarming, and add emotional depth to the drama. The friends and colleagues surrounding both leads are equally supportive, encouraging them in their own unique ways.

Without a doubt, the greatest strength of this drama is the visual appeal and chemistry between the two leads. The combination of a reserved, emotionally awkward man and a cheerful, confident woman creates countless adorable moments. As they slowly learn to understand each other, their relationship becomes even more convincing and satisfying. By the end of the series, it's hard not to believe that they are one of the greatest couples ever portrayed in a Chinese drama.

If you can get through the slower beginning and don't mind the strong focus on gaming and aerospace, you'll be rewarded with a mature, heartwarming romance featuring exceptional chemistry, beautiful cinematography, lovable supporting characters, and one of the most memorable couples in modern C-drama.

well done indie short series

Overall: I gave this an indie rating bump. 4 episodes about 10 minutes each. Aired on Xiaole Boyslove YouTube channel
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4hAtAftZF7bnAk9qPgTkvLpJFJKwWJk4&si=-LaHE6jMtrqZhbvQ (not in correct watch order, I was very confused when I accidentally watched episodes 1, 3 and then 2)

Content Warnings: homophobia, sexual harassment/non con touching (not between the leads)

What I Liked
- centered on 2 characters
- easy to understand premise
- wasn't a total noble idiot trope, he explained his reason
- mom had character growth though it taking her that long to see he was hurting made me angry

Room For Improvement
- the time jump

10/10 A must watch RomCom drama.

10/10 A must watch RomCom drama.
Though the boy isn't gay, but at first he lied that he's a gay to achieve a thing. But he falls in love with the girl and tells he's not gay. Proves it. When he's proving it he has to go through a tough time.
10/10 Awsome!
Overall review is awsome! As usual, his acting skill do not fail, so he is not only a handsome face on screen. The idea of the drama and what you can learn from it is not bad. Also the funny moments actually maked me giggle.. which doesn't happen often for me. Also, the number of episodes are not 2... maybe multiplied by 10. I was so captivated by this drama that I finished it in less than 2 days

10/10 One of the best TV shows around...must see.

10/10 One of the best TV shows around...must see.
Hi,
This was the 2nd Korean Drama series I saw. The first one was the acclaimed drama series Da jang Geum.And it made me curious of the socalled "Korean Wave". After reading the reviews I chose this show.
Wow i have to say...this show beat all expectations. matter of fact its so good..i have rated this as one of the best TV (mini)series ever. A must see.
The story seems pretty straightforward and quite easy to get into. A cross between Cinderella and she's the man. The synopsis tells the story.
But this is not a Hollywood made show.It goes much deeper than that. Where this show truly excels is portraying the relationships of the different characters in the show. Maybe its my Asian background. But the way they portray it and decisions made comes so close to my own experiences that its downright scary and also very touching.
I guess it explains the huge success of the show...who ever watched this. They will see a parallel to their own situation.
From a difficult relationship between a father and a son, to a mother trying to balance her need to find a new partner and her duty towards her daughters.
To me it was the start of the boyfriend-girlfriend relationship between EunChan and KanKyul. It mirrors my own experience so closely. The calling game, the little games you play with each other that could lead to misunderstandings and fights. And all this because you are afraid of the strong feelings you have for another person. Not knowing how to express it or how the other person feels about you. The beautiful thing is...they take there time to portray this and it works real well.
Where Hollywood stops with just the love story, this shows continues exploring and portraying the relationship behind the lovestory.
I can't recommend this how highly enough. A must see.

10/10 Korean Dramas would never be the same again..

10/10 Korean Dramas would never be the same again..
The title head pretty much described it all, with such unique story line of modern fairy tale and the harsh reality, it was sure hardcore for everyone who watched the whole series.
They have deviated from the usual KDrama style, plot and conflicts. It is fantasy by the way, but the great thing is that it was not greatly emphasized in the early episodes (the switching part). They did not spend most of the time in different bodies, in contrast to what others would have expected. Sure it was fun to watch the actors played so well but in the latter part it played a big role in story development and made the story what it is: destiny, love, magic and everything else in between.
More on the deviating from usual KDrama trend, let's go to love triangles. Pretty much empty, for the first part again I expected Oska and Yoon Seul to be big third parties in the rel. of the main characters (just like in Full House) but again wasn't interesting anymore. Another thing is the conflict between Joo Won's mother. I thought it would be another main conflict but the theme of the story prevailed: Love conquers all! I would also like to commend the writer for such great plot. I love that she did not revealed everything in the first parts, opposed to many Dramas that tells the social status of both protagonists, family background and conflicts at the start of the story. If it had been like that, it would not make the story interesting (I was really guessing what could have happened to Ra Im's father, or Joo Won's life-changing accident, nor how the Oska-Yoon Seul bitterly ended).It was obviously not a character-driven plot, it was more on what's going to happen to Gil Ra Im and Joo Won next that would help clarify the past.There were many metaphors, symbols and recurring themes (eg little mermaid and if you had not appreciated this series, I say you missed it. Clearly, it was a work of a genius to think of such great script and plot.
Another common mistakes of dramas is that you would end up loving the actors because of empty reasons. Secret Garden got me so hooked up to Gil Ra Im and Joo Won that i did not bother searching their names in Google when i was watching the series (I only did that after finishing the series). Their undeniable chemistry would sure fire up the intensity of the key plots, making them effective actors.
BOTTOMLINE: I fell in love with the characters! Not with the actors!
The ending was absolutely perfect. It wasn't a fairy tale like ending. Ra Im did not turn into Cinderella, nor Joo Won into Prince Charming. In the end, it was their love that prevailed amidst imperfections in their relationship and differences.
Finishing the story with the lines, "We still don't have a single wedding picture, but we tall in love every single day, like living a magical life". That's what I true magic brings into our lives: blissful love beyond imperfections
The story itself was well-written, plot was well-thought, the casting and the chemistry of the actors have pretty much set the tone for the success of the series. This may sound biased but overall i say this is the BEST KOREAN Drama i have seen in years, and I would be sure there won't be any DRAMAS that will be as good as this in the coming years.

Perfect school love to adult love drama

I want he’s it after Dazzling, so comparison is inevitable.
First of all, the balance between school years and adults years in this drama was strong, I typically get bored with high-school tragedy, and speed through it. Writers were merciful to leave me with 33% of the drama being about adulthood. My biggest pet peeve with Dazzling was that adult love between leads just happened within like 10 minutes and they went straight to marriage.
Chemistry between leads was hot and proper, no notes.
Character development arcs were a bit simplified, but served the premise. I am constantly amazed by a sheer number of artists making it big by late twenties in CDramas, but it’s ok, since it served the premise.
Overall, it’s a romantic story where passion and love between leads was well-written and believable with a sprinkle of fairy tale.

Ni el cruel destino puede romper la conexión de dos almas gemelas ??

¿Por que solo puedo darle 10 estrellas a esta historia? Necesito darle como mínimo 💯

Comencemos hablando del opening, que gran manera de retractar la historia a través de estas animaciones tan preciosas sin dar spoilers directos, pero a medida que avanzas, entiendes toda su relación con la misma, además desde un inicio sabes que te estas adentrado a un universo con mucho suspenso y misterio; el ending también es buenísimo, aunque aquí ya hay momentos del drama, la voz de Steven te envuelve por completo y refleja todos los sentimientos que nuestros protagonistas han tenido que vivir a través de todo su recorrido; en general todas las canciones del OST son una maravilla, son un complemento perfecto para los momentos más emotivos e importantes de la historia. La escenografía también es impresionante, te lleva a viajar a esa época y a todos esos mundos mágicos en los que los protagonistas viven sus aventuras, sientes que realmente estás en un barco, en una cueva misteriosa en un tren y los escenarios naturales son muchísimo más extraordinarios. El vestuario no se queda atrás, cada momento de la vida, cada lugar tiene su sello propio a través de los distintos estilos, en general es algo bien estructurado, pero definitivamente nuestros protagonistas nos roban el aliento porque se ven demasiado guapos con cada prenda que utilizan, algunas de ellas son demasiado icónicas para olvidarlas.

Este drama es un torbellino de emociones, pasas de estar en completo suspenso por una aventura arriesgada, a estallar de risas por las ocurrencias de Lou y luego vuelves a ponerte nervioso cuando vienen más problemas y un minuto después estás admirando una gran batalla e incluso puedes terminar llorando en un momento emotivo; lo que es fijo, es que nunca te vas a aburrir, siempre están pasando cosas y tienes que estar muy atento para poder entenderlo. Uno de los mayores aciertos es la construcción de personajes, la mayoría de ellos, por no decir todos, son interesantes, desde personajes secundarios que sólo aparecen en algunos capítulos como "el primo", los extranjeros o el pequeño taoista; hasta la increíble Zhang Hai Qi, la líder de los archivos del sur y madre adoptiva de nuestros queridos Zhang Hai Xia y Zhang Hai Lou, es una mujer hermosa, inteligente y astuta, que aunque a veces parece demasiado dura y es muy exigente con los chicos, en realidad los quiere mucho y todo lo que hace es por el bien de ellos, para que logren no solo ser grandes agentes de esta organización, si no también grandes personas. En cuánto a los villanos, el psicópata de Mo Yun Gao, más que una persona, era un monstruo que no le importó arrasar con cientos de vidas inocentes, crear incalculables desastres, y crear caos absoluto solo por su deseo egoísta; él y su ejército de los señores de la guerra eran una abominación y cuando aparecían, sabías que todo iba a terminar en tragedia.

Ahora que intente abordar todo lo demás, viene lo realmente importante, nuestros protagonistas, Zhang Hai Xia nuestro precioso camarón y Zhang Hai Lou, nuestro alocado dios de la peste de mar; estos chicos se robaron el show, su encanto era innegable, tanto en las escenas de acción, su ingenio a la hora de resolver misterios, los momentos divertidos y emotivos que pasaban juntos y la dualidad en la que muchas veces se veían expuestos, eran interesantes de manera individual, pero como equipo lo eran mucho más, crecieron juntos y pasaron por tantas cosas, que tenían una conexión increíblemente especial, se conocían excelentemente el uno al otro y se complementaban a la perfección, sin importar sus destrezas o debilidades, sabían que podían contar el uno con el otro, básicamente eran almas gemelas, ya que realmente en la vida solo podían contar el uno con el otro y con su maestra. Y aunque todos los eventos de esta historia estaban entrelazados y fueron una cadena de consecuencias para los sucesos finales; el mayor conflicto y cambio que tuvieron que asumir los chicos, fue lo que pasó antes y después del barco Nan'an. Camarón era un chico muy prudente y astuto, él siempre tenía un plan y una estrategia para cumplir con las misiones que les daban, nunca hacía nada sin pensarlo y analizarlo antes; Lou era todo lo contrario, era un torbellino, también era muy inteligente pero era impulsivo, corría riesgos y después pensaba en las consecuencias, por eso Xia era su polo a tierra, era quién lo aterrizaba cuando se descontrolaba mucho y lo ayudaba a salir de los problemas en que se metía, pero también le seguía la corriente y le llevaba la idea en sus locuras, aunque su maestra muchas veces los castigará por ello. Una de las mayores dificultades que tuvieron que enfrentar fue cuando Xia quedó paralítico después de una de sus misiones, Lou se sintió totalmente culpable porque por ser impulsivo y alardear sobre él, llegaron a ese resultado, y además cuando ocurrió la explosión que causó el incidente, Xia lo protegió para salvarle la vida lo cuál lo lesionó; mientras tanto Xia no quería ser una carga para él en su estado, porque sabía Lou tenía un gran futuro por delante; ambos pensaban en el bienestar del otro, antes que el propio y esto fue una constante durante toda la historia... Y entonces llega ese horrible momento, en que después de todas las luchas y los enfrentamientos sucedidos en la embarcación de Nan'an, Lou cree que ha perdido a Camarón, ver cómo queda totalmente destruido en espíritu, alma y pensamiento al sentirse solo, al tener que cargar el cuerpo de su compañero por todas partes, intentando buscar a su maestra y solo sentirse cada vez más confundido al ver que toda su vida parece haber sido una mentira o algo que nunca sucedió es devastador y mucho más cuando llega el punto de querer morir también, pues piensa que no tiene más por lo que luchar; en ese momento llega su maestra y después de darle una buena reprimenda, le dice que no todo está perdido y hay una manera de salvar a Xia, es entonces que vuelve a tener esperanzas y a luchar contra viento y marea y sus esfuerzos valen la pena, pues Camarón despierta.

Es aquí donde sus mentes, o al menos la de Lou regresa a la misión de atrapar a Mo Yun Gao y detener sus planes malvados; Xia y su maestra saben que esa cura que lo salvó, al final traerá más consecuencias que beneficios, pero ambos son personas que cargan con sus sufrimientos por proteger a sus seres queridos y por eso no se lo mencionan a Lou, pero él poco a poco lo va descubriendo. Esa dualidad de Camarón es impresionante, ver cómo lucha contra ese ente maligno que quiere controlarlo y cuando al fin después de intentarlo todo, ve que le es imposible, sufre inmensamente ante esa impotencia, sus ojos demuestran claramente todo el dolor que hay en su interior y cuando el camarón negro toma el control es aterradoramente espectacular, toda esa maldad, porte e imponencia que refleja con su mirada, con su cuerpo, con sus acciones te dejan totalmente absortos, es un villano vil, majestuoso y espeluznante. Lou casi siempre mantiene una actitud alegre, bromista y positiva, no le tiene miedo a casi nada ni a nadie, excepto a perder a las personas que más quiere; por eso cuando su maestra cae enferma por el veneno que le dieron y cuando al fin se da cuenta que Camarón poco a poco se está perdiendo a si mismo, se desespera por hallar una solución porque le es inconcebible que algo pueda pasarles; con él también podemos empatizar completamente, ver cómo pasa de estar bien y con una actitud perseverante a sufrir al sentir que no va a lograr salvarlos; nada más veía sus ojitos llenos de lágrimas y ya estaba destrozada 🥺 Ellos siempre confiaban él uno en el otro y estaban dispuestos a dar la vida si eres necesario, pero llega un momento en el que Lou sabe que la única manera de acabar con todas las atrocidades que está cometiendo Xia es acabando con él, pero el cariño que siente por él es tan grande, que se niega a hacerlo, a pesar de todo, guarda la esperanza que hay otra salida.

El final es tremendamente agridulce, Xia estando atrapado dentro de su mente, aún lucha por ayudar a su maestra y a Lou, y él se da cuenta de esto, sabe que la única manera de ayudarlo es quitándole la vida y es lo que Xia quiere, ya no aguanta todo el mal que está entidad está cometiendo, y es así que por fin toma la decisión, pero cree que se irán juntos, sin embargo la determinación de Camarón es tan grande, que al final logra evitar causarle daño a Lou, y através de este sacrificio le deja saber que aunque físicamente no estén juntos, todo lo que han vivido juntos permanecera con él, que está feliz de haber pasado tantas aventuras a su lado y que quiere que siga luchando por un mundo mejor; ver cómo al final Xia puede volver en sí, y puede pasar sus últimos momentos en los brazos de Lou es dolosamente triste, pero también un consuelo, de que estuvieron juntos hasta el final. Después de enfrentar tantos desafíos, Lou se vuelve mucho más fuerte, sigue cumpliendo misiones y adopta a otros niños para seguir con el legado de la organización de Archivos, y de su compañero de aventuras Camarón, porque sabe que siempre estará a su lado, sin importar las circunstancias que se presenten.

Definitivamente es una historia fantástica de principio a fin, en la que nuestros queridos protagonistas nos llevan a vivir aventuras, dificultes y a sentir todos sus sufrimientos y alegrías, la relación de Lou y Xia es incomparable, porque a pesar de ser dos personas tan diferentes entre sí, también tienen una conexión tan profunda que básicamente son una sola mente y un solo ser, a pesar de que a lo largo de la historia nunca se dijeron directamente que se querían, con cada mirada, con cada gesto y con cada acción lo demostraban; tanto así que ni siquiera las crueldades del destino lograron separarlos por completo, porque sus almas siempre permanecerán unidas.

Esta historia me tocó el corazón de un montón de maneras diferentes, me hizo llorar de alegría y felicidad, sin duda alguna se ha convertido en mi drama favorito del año hasta el momento y dudo mucho que exista otro que llegue a superarlo. Definitivamente lo recomiendo a todo el mundo, pueden disfrutarlo si aman los misterios, la acción, el suspenso, y sobre todo un dúo increíble que nunca se da por vencido y que juntos logran todo lo que se proponen; realmente me enamoraron estos dos preciosos chicos, son los mejores y los llevaré siempre en mi corazón 🥹💖✨🌊🦐

So to make it short :
- too long, as many viewers pointed out and too boring
- too many subplots and too many fake leads about the sister's death : like I said, it quickly became boring
- a female lead who appeared quite unlikeable, as she seemed okay with using everyone : honestly, I didn't buy her loving the male lead, as it seems to me she didn't love anyone
- a male lead who so looks like a baby that it was hard to take him seriously (especially compared to the policeman second male lead who's just RIPPING hot !), not to mention his médiocre acting : the show obviously wants to show as this hot, charismatic, full of bad boy attitude male lead but come on, the guy looks like he's still drinking his mom's milk
- there is absolutely NO chemistry between hé and the female lead
-like I said, he's totally overshadowed by the policeman second male lead : if they had exchanged the actors, the show might have been more acceptable. Whether it's in terme of looks, acting, charisma or even his chemistry with the female lead Li Muchen, Kenji Chen obviously outshines our so called male lead. If it wasn't for him, I definitely wouldn't have kept watching and I believe the only good thing about this drama is to have found out about him (can't believe the guy is already past 40, what's in their noodles ?!)
- also, this kind of story had been done and redone and I feel like I've already seen Li Muchen play that kind of part a million times

Something Good!

I was craving a good combination of script/acting/direction, and this is such a relief! Great story, many beliavable twists and subplots, super performances, and never a dull ten minutes anywhere.

If you like political intrigue, risk, character development, and friendships in historical drama, mixed with action and heroic problem-solving, you will like this alot. It doesn't have the intellectual density of some famous recommendations, but the story is really well-done, with no major deus ex machina unreasonably added just to keep the story going! Because the story stands well without resorting to saves. It moves. It's well shot. The people are believable.

As far as the noise about a 17yr old actress working with a 28yo actor, all I can say is: These are seasoned professionals.

Given that the female lead character is SUPPOSED to be young, we are lucky to have Ai Mi in the role. I've seen her in about 10 series. Her skill is the reason she has been signed up with so many GREAT shows! In Phoenix Heart, her acting is on par with the rest of the cast. She is equal to the job, and she's no dummy.

Overall, the acting, chemistry, and tone, writing, character portrayals, and shoot angles are completely outstanding and appropriate. The whole cast is awesome. This is a breath of fresh air.
