Not perfect but it was good? Enjoyed the anime that was included here and there
A good historical romance series. Enjoyed it.******SMALL SPOILER ********
Story: 9 well written with well thought out plots, character building and everything nicely tied up.
Acting : 8.5 All actors did a great job at portraying their respective characters. Leo Wu and Dilraba Dilmurat did well but chemistry between them was just not there making it hard to believe they are in love. Zhao Lusi and Liu Yuning did great and their 'love' was believable, as well as that of Xiyue Cao and Yi Daqian's.
Production and Visual FX : 8.5 enjoyed the anime that was included here and there. Costumes for the Ashile tribe and other tribes were great especially that of Ashile Sun (Leo Wu)
OST: 9 loved all the songs used and sound effects were just right.
Rewatch value : 0 Even though I enjoyed it I don't think I will rewatch it and there's also no single episode that wowed me in such a way that I would pin it to watch again later.

Fresh and unique ❤️ Loved it
Really enjoyed this series ❤️Both ML & FL were great in their respective roles. Both were the best choices for these roles in my opinion - can't imagine any other actors that could have pulled this off as they did. Also enjoyed the side characters.
The story is fresh and unique and can't recall any other series that's similar to this. Binged this series as there were no dull moments and kept me wanting to see the next episode.
I loved the songs played through out the series, perfectly chosen and played at the right moment and will definitely add some to my Playlist.
Highly recommended ❤️

Awesome series ❤️ Never felt dragged out and actually felt like I finished it faster
Worth the watch. To all who will watch this series - make sure you watch the two short episodes 60 and 61!!Acting: 9. Loved all the characters, except the bad guys of course especially that of the main arc. The actors did a very good job of portraying their respective characters. I did form a bond / connection with most of them and routed for a lot of characters - this only possible when the actors do their best. Special mention, Yang Zi a d Cheng Yi who did an awesome job of portraying Yan Dan and Tang Zhou. I really enjoy Cheng Yi's acting and he is a great actor in my humble opinion.
Story: 9 The story unfolded quite well with plot twists and surprises along the way. You could foresee outcome of some plots because of clever hints given - you have to pay attention though. I binged the series even with 59 episodes in total. Never felt dragged out and actually felt like I finished it faster than other series's that were 40 episodes. Bulk of the content felt necessary to get to the finale.
Production and Visual FX were good: 8.5
Ost : 9 music went well with bulk of the scenes.
Rewatch value: 9 Will likely Rewatch some episodes and perhaps entire series if I can't find anything better. That's after I've re-watched my most favorite drama series's of course.

This was fun
Finally a drama about bad parents, bad spouses, bad friendships, and a hint of divorce is no only necessary but may save a persons life... Done kind of odd. As this drama mixes a bunch of my beloved clices ads a moment of confusion interesting twists (some more predictable than others) and mote or less enjoyable characters.The good ones may do questionable things but are so good they make you cringe at times.... The villains are so evil it is hard to feel for them. That said they did make it very clear how difficult it can be to break loose...
Even while knowing the ending... fighting back agains those close does take its tool.
That said there are several parts in this drama that made me go :Oh come on... and oh no shi***.... As some twists could be sensed a 14 episodes in advance.
This is not a. masterpiece but a fun watch for those who can appreciate a man who can wait, wrist grabs, evil, gaslighting and a different twist to the secound chance go back in time romance.

Excellent series❤️❤️ with roller-coaster of emotions.
SPOILER ALERTI would have given a 10 rating if it wasn't open ended, even if it were to be a sad ending. It doesn't appear that there will be follow-up according to the news articles (as at 21 September 2023) which is unimaginable.....
Draw back..... The last 4 minutes of the final episode. Open ending which ended with Zi Yu waiting for Yan to return and at the final seconds of the episode hearing the doors opening....
Back to what I think of the series:
Story 9 (taking into account the open ending) a great plot with lots of twists which kept the viewer engaged and also gave very subtle hints on certain things. At times I didn't want to watch the next episode because I will then finish it too quickly. Roller-coaster of emotions and routed for the main couple as well as Jin Fan and Zhi Shang. Cried with deaths of family members of the Gong Family as well Han Ya Si and Yun's 'sister'.
Acting: 9 in my opinion for all Main actors as well Jolin Jin (loved her so much), Tian Jia Rui (he did a great job of portraying Yuan Zhi) and of course Sun Chen Jun.
Production and Visual FX : 10 loved all the costumes and different sets / backdrops - everything was beautiful
OST: 10 Beautiful songs and Sound effects were great.
Will definitely Rewatch. I'll just make up my own ending!

Sweet Romance ❤️❤️
Sweet romance❤️❤️ this was a great series. Obvious why so many viewers gave high ratings. Highly recommended!!This had just the right amount of everything (young love, sad and tragic past for ML, true love, belief in the goodness of the other person, having that person realize that they're worth it..... overcomes all obstacles making a person whole again, giving purpose, dedication and happiness). Actors did an amazing job portraying their respective characters. Loved the Male and Female lead (the chemistry and the way they interacted with each other felt like a real love story) and along with all supporting characters.
Overall 10 rating as I can't give any critique. Rewatch value 10.

Thought provoking and produced so well.
A very good Thriller Romance SciFi.I enjoyed this very much, the actors did an amazing job portraying of portraying their respective characters.
The story was very different from what I've watched and even read in novels before and was thought provoking and produced so well.
I was pulled into the story from the get go and different emotions were evoked and I cried in almost every episode up to say episode 14. Did cry again after that but less than the previous episodes.
Just note that you need to really pay attention / concentrate on everything that is happening otherwise you will get confused or loose track.
Loved the theme song and will look for it online to download.
Might rewatch this in a few months time, especially when I need a good cry session.

When life gives you a second chance, grab it and own it
Marry My Husband centers around an ill woman who receives the final blow when she learns her bestie and husband are having an affair. She dies soon after, but is given a second chance at life.Marry My Husband makes it easy to fall in love with protagonist Kang Ji-won – and that’s already half the battle won for this K-drama. Park Min-young effortlessly portrays her as smart and kind, though not in a superficial way, but a little too naive and trusting. Yet, she’s learning from her past (or, in this case, future) mistakes and evolving as a person. Thankfully, it’s a gradual process that allows the audience space to root for Ji-won as the show progresses, while acknowledging that she can’t possibly handle it all on her own.
To that end, Ji-won is surrounded by a cast of equally charming, if fairly one-dimensional, characters. There’s her bubbly co-worker Yu Hee-yeon (Choi Gyu-ri), who gives Ji-won a makeover, well-meaning but meek assistant manager Yang Joo-ran (Gong Min-jung) and her stoic but secretly soft-hearted boss and love interest Yu Ji-hyuk (Na In-woo). They are as tropey and archetypal as K-drama characters come, but in a way that’s also their job, to not detract from who we’re all here for: Kang Ji-won. It may not be the most groundbreaking of shows, but that’s not what it’s trying to be either. This Korean drama knows it’s a guilty pleasure through and through, and embraces that wholeheartedly. There is something immensely satisfying about seeing a carefully drawn-out, deliciously manipulative revenge plan slowly but steadily unfold onscreen. It satisfies by giving the audience exactly what they want by letting Ji-won get her payback, with a handful of unexpected twists that are just enough to keep viewers running back for more.
My Rating : 8.4/10

This was unexpectedly a very good series and I really enjoyed it.
This was unexpectedly a very good Wuxia series and I really enjoyed it. Glad that I decided to give it a chance even though there are numerous reviews and comments which suggest that this series is not worth watching.The comments regarding the female lead, Ren Min not being the right choice for the character of Zhu Yan is ridiculous. She acted the way the character was written and did a good job in my opinion. Ren Min's acting is a 8.5/10 for me. Xiao Zhan did great as Shi Ying so 10/10 for him (really impressed with his acting skills) .
All the other actors did a great job at portraying their respective characters especially, Alen Fang, Wang Churan, Zi Qi Wang and Marcus Li. The chemistry between the couples were also very good and believable, specifically Shi Ying and Zhu Yan as well as Bai
Xuelu and Qing Gang.
Story: The story kept the viewer engaged with enough intrigue to keep one wanting to see what happens next. Most of the Arc's were tied up but the Sea emperor's and the Dragon Lord's wasn't.
The ending is left open for interpretation, either Shi Ying will only return once a year when the Snowy Rosa blooms or he became immortal and actually returned in the last scene to spend their remaining years together. My interpretation is that he became immortal and returned. My reason being that when Yuan took Zhu Yan and seriously injured Shi Ying (because he lost his powers after Zhu Yan resurrected him with the Blood oath spell) , he went through rebirth, regained all his powers and became immortal. So he was able to return by transforming from the white petal (his primordial spirit in the white petal).
So story 8.5/10
Production and Visual FX were great as well Cinematography, excellent CGI, beautiful sets and scenery, excellent fight scenes which were well choreographed, beautiful costumes 9/10
Ost: 10/10 loved all the music and sound effects

Really loved it and enjoyed it immensely!!
A Definite 10/10 for this Romance Sport's drama. Really loved it and enjoyed it immensely!! I binged this, watching until early hours of the morning.Everything was great from Story which is very original in my opinion, Acting, Visual effects, Production and OST.
Wu Lei is an amazing actor in my humble opinion, he did very very well in his role as Yiyang. His acting and expressions were spot on and believable in every aspect for the character he portrayed. I was very emotional with the scenes of Coach He. He also did pretty well with english and also singing in english. I'm also impressed by Zhao Jin Mai (mere 21yrs old) as Yin Guo, I've only seen one other series of her, Reset but will look into the others she played in. Their chemistry was great and their love story was very believable. The scene where he proposed made me so emotional, it was just right with their friends in the background. The shot of the seating area from above (spelled out LOVE) was a perfect 'ending' of the proposal scene for us, the audience.
The other actors also did a great job with special mention for Wang Xing Yie, Chen Jing Ke, Ding Xiao Ying, Dong Zi Fan and Wang Jia Xuan. Also Yin Guo's mother, Wu Qian played by Jiang Hong Bo who brought 'real' angst in terms of the family accepting Yiyang.
First CDrama which I watched with part of the series being in a foreign country. Production was done very well and scenes (city, etc) and scenery was awesome, especially the island get away.
The sports side of it was exciting and first ever billiard/pool/snooker series that I've watched. The competitions were filmed very well with great angles, etc. Googled the rules of the specific games and it broadened my knowledge and opened a new sport to me, to enjoy. I normally love anything to do with horses, tennis and gymnastics and snooker is now part of it! We have a pool/snooker table but haven't played for some time and want to now play again.
Ost was awesome and will be downloading the songs used especially the main song, Love and shine.
Rewatch value is very high on this one. Will wait a month or so and definitely watch it again. I will miss the main cast and it's a pity that it has ended. Would definitely watch a second season if its at all possible.

Female Lead was the most annoying character.
Overall this drama is amazing . But if the FL didn't exist this would have been more beautiful. Her character ruined all the enjoyable moments in the drama and instead made us annoyed. We could directly say it's a beautiful bromance drama. Also satisfied with the ending. But would have been excellent if we were offered a scene three of them together in a far away location.This story justified murders in a nice way and I love the plot that the character development is not as typical as 'just psychopaths' as in other crime dramas. Also love the different ending and not being all murders in prison.

Caution: VERY annoying female lead.
everything in this drama actually seems so promising EXCEPT the female lead. I have never been more aggravated by a character before. This drama would have been an 9 if not for her.The whole time I just wanted her to LEAVE. I kept skipping every single scene she was in and I’ll tell you why.
1. She’s not attractive. She is just an average girl and there’s nothing wrong with that, BUT you expect me to believe that BOTH of them like her that much?
2. It makes NO sense that they are both chasing after her. Like I said before, she’s just average. she’s not funny, or entertaining. She’s just meh. So why would both these guys just randomly start liking her? The rich male lead literally saw her sitting on a lunch table and basically said “yup, I like her” but WHY? it’s not like she’s exceptionally stunning? She doesn’t have any special traits that make her interesting? All we know is that she’s poor? The only time she showed us some personality was when she laughed at the poor ml for hiding his boxers. And it was so corny because that’s not even funny? Like what are you laughing at.
3. There is absolutely ZERO chemistry between her and EITHER of the male leads. Like I’m sorry but I’m just not buying it. They didn’t show us a proper reason to why they both like her. Like I said before, I would get it if she was really pretty and a lot of guys just chase her, or if she had some quirky, funny, personality or just ANYTHING special, but she has none of those things.
4. The male leads will fight because of her later in the drama. You can 100% see were this is going and it’s just very stupid and unnecessary.
5. She adds NOTHING to the plot. in fact she actually ruins it. The bromance is actually enough and it’s entertaining all by itself. The female lead actually makes me want to NOT watch it anymore, rather than adding any spice.
6. The female lead is a bad actress. This doesn’t have to be a strong issue but just be aware she doesn’t know how to convey emotions using her face. This is basically her (?♀️) at all times. Her face is just expressionless and needless to say, I’m going to be cautious about her dramas in the future…

A Breath of Fresh Air and a Testament to What it means to be a Remake
Cherry Magic TH stands on its own-- carrying its own charm and adding its own flavor to an already loved series/story. The story of Karan and Achi spans beyond them as the main couple-- it includes all the people important to them, surrounding them with support and love.I want to list all the good things this series holds, but to summarize, I will say this: Every character is important, every scene is a build up and the love of these two is well fleshed out.
I could not have asked for a better version, and this was so wonderfully done with respect to its original material. And although I found the second main couple (Jinta and Min) in need of improvement for their story, overall this series is top notch. They tackled so many topics respectfully, whether it be about the self, the relationship, the friendship, the family, communication and so on, and so on. And the hopeful theme left by the end is one we wish to strive for-- a world in which our purest magic is to love wholeheartedly.
Very thankful for this series. Kudos to the cast-- especially to Tay and New who has shone brightly. Kudos to the writers, to the director and to everyone who has anything to do with this. Truly a breath of fresh air.

Light, easy to watch, full of fun, badass, mature, and cute leads
I like this romcom lighthearted drama and their acting is really good. Nakaka excite yung mga scene nila di boring for me and nakakatawa din hehe.-I love it it's an easy watch, full of fun and no annoying third party for main leads and also second leads.
- I like how they pretty fast solve if there was a misunderstanding
-Gusto ko yung manager nya supportive, attentive, and di boring
-the main leads chemistry is great and the second leads ang cute din nila lalo na kapatid ni Mu xui lun.
-Gusto ko din yung nalaman agad ng male lead identity ng fl para maka iwas sa masayadong misunderstanding
-yung story ng second couple i like it also huhu xiaoman
