INTERESTING

The first episode was intriguing, and I loved the character development of the rude girl in the beginning, because it turns out she isn’t too bad, but I like how she always puts people in her place. The k drama made me cheer for the rude girl which I hardly ever do. I found the female lead much interesting, but I would’ve loved to see more and the cliffhanger at the end was quite surprising. So are we getting a season two or what? Because I’m very curious. because I need to know how it ends, I need it now.

Constant lack of communication

The premise of this sounded really interesting and I got through all of it. But there were some things that were pretty confusing and not good.

Main issues for me:
- Constant lack of communication mainly on the FL side. Some is to be expected, it’s a drama but she made bad decisions one after the other to the point I questioned if she was 12 years old.
- this could’ve been 16 episodes without losing much. There were too many repetitions, boring business conversations and dramas no one cares about.
- the damn phones always interrupting everything. Could have been a paid actor by the way they were constantly interrupting almost every relevant scene and development and it seems no caracter ever heard of silent mode or simply not picking up the phone.
- the SFL. This character is just completely atrocious. Always giving bad love advice when she has a terrible love life herself and when it all goes wrong “well, nothing we can do now, it’s the way it is, focus on a different guy”. No redeeming qualities. No growth.
- The Second Love Interest. Where did this sudden love interest even come from?? Why was he so fixated on her? Why climb a tree?
- Continuity issues. At the start she doesn’t know what he looks like because there’s no photos online and he is so illusive there’s only a picture of half his face, in the middle suddenly everyone knows what he looks like, even her mom because he’s so famous?? Also in his house she sees he likes The singer and has her albums, then later is talking to him like she never hears he likes her??

The best of Wang You Shuo

I have to admit that I’ve watched this series over and over since it’s been out. Even with new Xu Kai series. I rather rewatch this. Rong Yu was played very well. He did a great job. I literally still cry at the same scenes each time I watch it. It makes me wish there was a real man out there like this character. Prior to this I was watching Journey to Destiny which was also really really good. But I have to say. This role of Rong Yu just won my heart. The integrity, the confidence, the person he is just is so addicting. I really hope there’s a season 2. I would love to see what happens next. I think it should include more of Rong Yu thoughts. His voice and everything was done really well. Because of this I searched for other shows he was on. And apparently I’ve seen some. But never truly noticed him until this role. Prior to this it was Xu Kai’s role in Ancient Love Poetry that I was addicted to. But Wang You Shuo did great!!!!

Cultural Ignorance of the introduction

I dont normally post reviews but I felt like I had to say something about the cultural ignorant intro into the story. I have not actually watched the rest of the show, because it is a medical drama, and while something about doctors' noble profession and their day to day lives is fascinating, I cannot stomach the scenes of a medical drama. I dont have an iron stomach. Yet I start medical dramas only to end up quitting quickly.

It starts of with the FL and her fiancee, as Doctors Without Borders. They drive in a Landrover like car towards an isolated, mountaneous region. The indigineous people there seem to be muslim, from several shots of the women's headscarfs. I was guessing 'Where is this?' It looked for me a bit more like more central Asia, rather then really dry sandy countries like Yemen or Jordan.

The international doctors, including the female lead help a heavily pregnant woman with an impartum (?). The men wear ethnic clothing (Afghanistan?) but the pregnant woman being helped wore a Western t-shirt and sweatpants. In the operating scene, the fiancee advises the FL to remove the women's womb, that that is the safety thing to do and to protect the women's lufe. The FL doesn't listen to his advice. After the operating scene, the fiancee asks why she didn't listen to him, doesn't she knows that that was the best option, and the FL responds that she knew that removing the womb was the safety option, but that before operation the heavily pregnant woman (with a hijab on, representing Muslim faith) was holding a "talisman of scriptures" (Quran?) and according to the FL, was CURSING anyone who would take her womb away (!!!). The FL goes on that even in poverty and war, that "here" in this clan, the worth of a woman is defined but birthing as much babies as possible until they could they anymore, even if it threatens their life. I don't know if they were in a fictional place, or if was really representing an existing country (war and poverty: Yemen or Afghanistan?) but I just really didn't like that. I felt like that was a really stereotypical primitive view of poberished uneducated Muslims. I know that in some Muslim faith cultures, more people have bigger families because they are very family oriented and see children as blessings. Even if some majority Muslim countries have bigger families, and in war and or poverty, not everyone has access to birth control but I know no country that where women's ONLY value is to constantly get pregnant and pop out tons of babies.

I dont like that. After I dropped this drama, I saw another drama highlighting racism from a white antagonist towards the Asian fl, calling her 'black haired yellow skinned'. If you don't like people being racist towards yourself, then why portray woman in another culture in this drama in such a primitive stereotypical way?

Just my two cents here ^

The main weakness of the story is that the main characters are not well paid, Especially Hwi. Hwi in the first episode is a psychotic character who does not have a good life situation; a pitiful character who is supposed to be next to the female main character. But all of a sudden, in the later episodes, he turns into a calm and pleasant character who has good control over his behavior. It seems that the process of these two returning to normal life and becoming interested in each other should have been a little more complicated.
Honestly, considering the rating , I expected more. It was low in terms of realism and believability. For example, the neighbors slandered Ming Kyung and quickly realized their mistake! and similar cases.
The secondary characters are more pleasant, especially the women's association and In Ja. Baek Ji Won with his charismatic personality makes the audience interested in continuing to watch.

SLOW BURN AND SLOWLY KILLING ME

Hm… i have watched MeenPring series which is MDGO before and it was alright and I thought this series could do them justice but MY GOD!!! This series is boring. I am sorry but the series have good actors but plain and bland plot. No heartthrobbing scenes much and sex scenes are okay not the best but it was alright. This series could end within 8 episodes but I dont know what is going on with the unecessary lovey dovey scene without purposes???

The conflict between Ai and his mother is not resolved too. Just hanging on a thread without any closure. Boring. I dont know why but MeenPring always got the most boring series. The pattern of their series are the same. It was good but not good enough for 12 episodes long. Could have just shorten it to 8 episodes. Cause after episode 8, i started to yawn and its getting boring.


In a nutshell? Good actor, boring plot, no character development, no plot development, unecessary lovey dovey scenes, side pairing development sucks and no closure plot.

Well done crime drama / mystery

Unusual in that it's only 6 episodes, and the conclusion wrap-up is only minutes long. Usually these dramas last 12 or 16 episodes with a full hour devoted to what happens to each character. Here this was extremely abbreviated. The main story drops several hints pointing in the right direction to figure out who was behind the crimes without giving anything away. The separate arc involving the two detectives is particularly well done and arrives at a satisfactory conclusion. Of course, rewatch potential is for following closely the early hints leading to the conclusion. The best measure of a series is the urgency felt to watch the next episode and I found myself looking forward to each next episode.

Not My Demon

Listen. Don’t come at me. But this ain’t it.

The storyline is childish and disappointingly lacking. They set up this promising premise of a demon, losing his powers, falling in love, and learning to live as a human. Should be interesting, right? WRONG.

The demon here is an idiotic loverboy who can’t use his brain even after existing for thousands of years. The FL is this gorgeous looking fireball who is supposed to be smart, cunning anf cutthroat. Key words are “supposed to be.” You get an annoyingly weak and pretty FL who does nothing but let the villains get the upperhand while eating cake with her pretty husband. Then, on their free time, they’ll put in some effort to catch the bad guys. SHE HAS A DEMON FOR A HUSBAND AND THEY DIDNT SOLVE ANYTHING OR EVEN SAVE THEMSELVES.

Y’all. The brain cells I lost watching this …

Don’t get me started on the useless side characters. From the overly dramatic and clownish villains, to the side couples, to the office workers and the gang members. They were just fillers to get this to 16 episodes of showing the gorgeous leads. That’s all.

To sum up:
Even on 1.5 speed, I could not wait to finish this damn series. What a joke to the actors. Who wrote this script? A 12 year old Twilight fan?

- What demon? He was a hopeless romantic with a side hustle involving fire.
- what murder mystery? Just crazy people playing with fire.
-What villains? Just cray crays over acting and shitting their pants over nothing.
- What chemistry? Just 2 gorgeous people looking gorgeous while doing gorgeous things together.
-What deep insightful message were we supposed to get out of this? Never trust a Netflix show with pretty people.

A good balance of light-heartedness and angst with heartwarming friendships as the highlight.

Sword and Fairy 4 was not a drama I expected to like as much as I did. In the beginning, it was light-hearted and silly, and I didn't expect it to become as deep and impactful as it was later on. For me, the highlight of this drama is the friendship between the four main characters. What made me almost drop it---and I'm glad I didn't---was Tianhe's naivety which was a bit much at first for me, but he does become more experienced while never losing his innocence which is the core trait of his character. As for Lingsha, I found her stealing the sword was unjust after Tianhe beared how much it meant to him, but even she has her reasons and I do love the morally gray situation she had on her hands. All the characters grew on me and so did the story.

Plot:

It had a good balance of light-heartedness and angst. It's never too bleak nor is it ever so light-hearted that it's without conflict. The main focus of the plot is about Tianhe learning about his parents and what happened 19 years ago, both to understand them and clear their names. We have Lingsha, his first friend, who schemingly convinces him to go down the mountain with her and pursue the past and then his two friends Mengli and Ziying who he meets along the way to accompany him for their own reasons. In the first half, they go on a journey, they come across the story of others that reflect and foreshadow their own as well as work as trials to test their friendship. It's rewarding to see their friendship grow and strengthen, and it hits hard when their friendship is in question.

While every side story contributed in some way to the bigger story, they came across very detached from them. It didn't have a long-lasting impact on them as characters. It felt like they became the side characters to the side characters. They swoop in the middle of a conflict, fix a problem, earned an item and some info, and move on, exactly like a side quest. Not surprising since this is adapted from a video game. It's very plot-driven. The character development comes from the main story while the detached side quest are complementary to this. I would consider the story a plot-driven vehicle, a seat behind would be friendship, family, character development, and chilling in the back is romance.

Characters:

The main four characters were endearing in their own ways and they all struggle with their own problems and develop through the course of the story. We watch Tianhe learn friendship and love, and see the world both good and bad and still retain his pure heart. Chen Zhe Yuan was able to capture Tianhe's emotions and give us a heartfelt performance. Lingsha is a character you get off to a bad start with until you begin to sympathize with her. She's in an impossible situation between family and friendship. It's heartbreaking to see her hide her pain behind a smile, especially during the end of the series. Lingsha is certainly my favorite character by Ju Jingyi. She did a good job of bringing Lingsha to life with every expression from start to finish. Mengli and Ziying made the quartet whole. They're both supportive and put their friendship first before themselves. Su Yao and Xuan Xiao make formidable antagonist that can make anyone's blood boil.

Relationships:

I love Tianhe, Lingsha, Mengli, and Ziying. Watching their interactions gives me warm fuzzy feelings, and make this drama comfort drama for me.

The romance between Tianhe and Lingsha was slow and sweet. I did question if there was romance at first since it was such a small part. It was adorable seeing Tianhe pick up Lingsha's mannerisms and acting like two little kids at times, but they were lacking romantic moments throughout. I can't tell if Tianhe or Ziying had more deep moments with Lingsha. They did have enough that the pairing seemed genuine, but it would have been nice to have more moments.

Mengli supports Lingsha and Tianhe so well in romance that I was taken aback when she admitted to having feelings for Tianhe, especially because she smiles like a winner when the main leads are having a romantic moment. In the beginning, I didn't realize Ziying had romantic feelings either, but it becomes obvious despite it never being said from the way his ice cube exterior thaws around Lingsha. I think it shows how much they care for their friendship to the point of letting go and supporting their crushes, but it's also tragic to see Ziying sad. Mengli and Ziying are one of a kind.

Overview:

The story is fun and gets better and heavier the deeper you go. It's plot-driven, has character development, an adorable romance but lacking in romantic moments, and a heartwarming friendship between the four main characters.

I got a little bored

I really loved the characters and cast in the show, but at the end, for some reason I thought of dropping it.
I got bored and didnt really feel like anything that drastic could happen, which, surprise surprise, it didn't.

Anyhow, I really love the scenery and the characters so it was still a fun watch and the song Your existence that plays once in a while is so friggin good.

I wont say I cried during the show, I wont even say I felt sad. The plot didnt move me to that extent, but I did feel happy in the brighter parts of the show and it felt very realitsic.

It's also original and the characters personalities feel very real and true.

Anyways, I recommend watching this show if u like romance, sadness and if u like having a laugh at weird shinanigans 🤞

Veteran actors shine in this

Its an underrated slice of life police drama with string of cases which are solved in a few episodes or less. It also shows the growth of different characters in a realistic trajectory. The veteran actors as masters of the younger cadets really steal the show in the drama. As a frontline worker myself i appreciate the arc of personal lives of the police officers, portraying as only human too. Yet society places higher expectations on them which will never change. The annoying characters are shown empathy and you get to see why they are the way they are (doesnt mean you will like them any more). Its a realistic portrayal of life and politics within a frontline service and further enhanced by the excellent acting skills of the veteran actors. Bai Lu and Xu Kai Cheng were believable but probably took a back seat when it came to comparing them with the vets.

Love this drama so much

I love the story line, the acting, and the chemistry. I Their relationship as childhood friends was on point. When the ML develop his love for the FL. I feel the excitement and affection. Although the ML is a cold type of guy, he is soft with the FL. I feel how he really cares for her and love her like what his love confession. His love always seen in his action towards her. The relationship between the family of ML and FL is so great that I want to have it as well. I love the FL she is always funny and cute. She’s really a good actress as I watched her other dramas. She never fails to give a great acting skills may it serious or funny scenes. She always have chemistry with her leading men that lead me to ship her with them, lol. I always looking forward for every episode. It’s indeed worth watching for, most especially if we will really pay attention to the story.

Can I Please Go in the Novel with Ji Chu

How would you like to become a female lead in your own novel? Such is the drama of Different Princess. Hua Qing (Ireine Song) is a novelist who has been writing her novel online. Hua Qing was proud of herself as an author for being innovative and keeping the villain evil up until the very end--killing off the male lead successfully. She had thought this idea would captivate her readers. As the novel uploaded “The Tale of Yun and Xi,” Hua Qing was excited to see all the comments. Only they were not as positive as she had hoped, as a matter of fact, the readers were livid. She had killed of their beloved male lead. The readers began to type, “Curse her, Curse her.”

Being the author, she didn’t care and told them to go ahead and curse her. She was never changing the ending and a bad ending is an ending too. Well, be careful what you wish for. Her keyboard began to move on its own and her screen turned red with the words ‘Curse.” Taken aback she wiped her eyes to make sure this was what she was seeing.

The following words appeared: ‘Dear Author, your reader enmity level has reached its limit. Please change the ending of “The Tale of Yun and Xi.” Revive Ji Yun and make him topple Ji Chu. If not, the plot will backfire on you.”

Of course, Hua Qing thought it was nonsense. Reader enmity? What kind of stupid setting is this, she thought.

Then the next choices came up:
A. Change the ending.
B. No way in hell.

You know she picked “B” – no way in hell. Her computer went black and cut off. As she banged on her keyboard as well as her screen--nothing happened. She thought it just died. Tired from all the nights of getting the novel completed, Hua Qing went to sleep. Falling asleep, her computer cuts back on and takes the pages of the novel back to Chapter 3: To suppress Ji Chu, Hua Qingge marries into Liang. She was murdered by Ji Chu and thrown into the pond.

Waking up, she finds herself in wedding attire as Ji Chu with sword in hand—kills her.

Her computer states: “You’ve been killed by the backfiring plot. As you failed to change the plot, the plot shall be replayed.”

Waking up the next time, she is still in wedding attire, and very much alive.

After avoiding death, she discovers that she had now become a character in “The Tale of Yun and Xi.” Where she is Hua Qingge, Princess of Fuyu to be married to Ji Chu the villain. Her mind goes back and sees the novel in her head and remembers that she is the niece of the current empress. She came all the way from Fuyu to marry Ji Chu. People thought she died because she fell into the pond by accident, but he killed her on their wedding night.

Since the princess died on her wedding night this caused a huge conflict between the two kingdoms. That was also the reason why Ji Chu committed the deed. Under the emperor’s order, everyone acknowledge the fact that Hue Qingge slipped and fell to her death. They buried her in secret.

Thus begins Hua Qing’s journey with rewriting the novel.

The drama gives us everything that you would want – palace intrigue, villains, jealousy,
misunderstandings, poisons, deaths, stabbings, fights and solving crimes. Pretty exciting, huh? You will not be disappointed in the least.

Hua Qingge found herself at every turn trying to dissuade Ji Chu from his villainous ways, but little did she know that he had his reasons. She remembered that his mother had been poisoned, turned into a demon and killed at the emperor's birthday. Ji Chu was out for revenge to prove that the empress was the killer of his mother and plotting a rebellion.

Empress Hua Yunni always lived in the shadow of Ji Chu's mother who the emperor adored. So much so that he kept her picture hidden behind another one just to look at her. You see, he wanted Ji Chu's mother to be the empress, but jealousy prevented that by her being killed by Empress Hua Yunni who wanted her son, Ji Yun (Sun Zu Jun) the crown prince to have the throne, not Ji Chu.

We also have Ji Wan Er who was the sister to both Ji Chu, Ji Yun and Ji Feng. Sadly, Ji Feng dies at the hands of the empress. Ji Wan Er falls in love with Gong Ye Qi, owner of the Mystic Medicine House. The two fall in love. But the empress had other plans and broke them up and decided to marry her off. Then we have the marriage of Ji Yun to Lin Xi Yao. Ji Yun had his heart set on Hua Qingge, but he knew that Ji Chu would never give her up because he truly loved her.

There isn't a story without the other woman and in this case, it was the Princess Wei Nan Yi from Liang that protected Ji Chu as he was an envoy there along with Gong Ye Qi as his friend and doctor. She turned out to be a good person that knew when to give up fighting for Ji Chu but was willing to give advice to Hua Qingge in understanding him.

I found the saddest and most preventable death was that of Ji Wan Er. Ji Chu did help his sister by faking her death as she went to the other kingdom for marriage. He eventually told Gong Ye Qi who was in love with her that she was still alive. They got married and she were expecting a child. After the rebellion started by the empress at the palace, Gong Ye Qi went to settle the score of her killing his family. Getting ready to kill her, one of the panels to the hallway opened. But that time, he had already thrusted the blade towards the empress, but it was Ji Wan Er that he stabbed not the empress. She unfortunately opened the panel just as he was going to stab the empress. To see his anguish, he killed both mother and child. He never recovered from the loss.

So shall we talk about Ji Chu (Ding Ze Ren). This man will send your pulses racing. Yes, they will. His smoldering eyes, those pillow-kissed lips and that voice. You can’t help but swoon when you see him. Your eyes cannot leave him. Especially when he is with Hua Qingge. At first, we know they will not get along but when he finds out he loves her and can't be without her. You will be screaming for her to stay with this man, even though it is a novel.

Sadly, Hua Qingge realizes that the novel is coming to an end as she notices her hand fading. She makes the decision to start pushing Ji Chu away from her.

As Hua Qingge sits on the floor crying and fading, she says, "I still have so much to tell you. I haven't seen you let go of your hatred. I can't leave." Ji Chu is walking away from her until he hears her scream his name. Turning around quickly, "Qing, Qing, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. Qing." She jumps surprisingly into Ji Chu's arms still crying, "Ji Chu, I've never betrayed you. I just wanted to duplicate a fake fish-shaped token for the empress." Comforting her as he held her in his arms he says lovingly, "I know Qing. As long as you say the word, I'll always believe you no matter what."

But as time goes by, Hua Qingge knows she has to leave him without saying a word. Ji Chu goes to find Hua Qingge but when he doesn't find her, he becomes frantic. He sends his men out to search for her. He eventually finds her fending off a would-be attacker, and of course, he gets rid of him.

JC: "You are wandering around the streets in the middle of the night instead of going home. what are you trying to do?"
Hua Qingge walks away from him only for him to get in her path.
HQ: "What is it that you need, Prince Chu?"
JC: "You are my princess consort. Of course, I'm here to take you home."
HQ: "I already told you very clearly. Why do you want to keep me by your side? The marriage between us is just a conspiracy. If everything went as planned, I would've been dead already."
JC:"I was wrong before this. But now, I can't be without you anymore."
HQ: "I'm a spy sent by Her Majesty. You know that."
JC: "I don't care."
HQ: "I do. Ji Chu we are doomed, to begin with, you are with Wei Nan Yi and are meant to be together. The two of you grew up together. Both of you are childhood friends."

Best moment ever (trust me, there are several with this man)! Ji Chu, he doesn't let her speak another word and he gave her the most passionate "don't say another word kiss". Ever, wow! His hand is locked behind her head, and he is working, I mean working that kiss. He took her breath away and will yours too. The way he looks at her after the kiss...his eyes, the love in them is really overwhelming. If you look at her, I think she even surprised herself, for the passion that she had for him.

JC: "Qing, I've never fallen for any woman other than you. How many times do you want me to tell you that? (Once is good for me) You are the only one in my heart."
She starts to fade again, and she leaves. As Ji Chu goes to grab her his hand goes right through her.
JC: "Your hand."
HQ: "Ji Chu, isn't it better to let me leave quietly?"
JC: "Leave? What's wrong with your hand? Stop keeping it a secret from me."
HQ: "Ji Chu, I'm not from this world. I am an outsider. I come from another world. I'm going to leave soon. And I won't be able to return!"
JC: "You are not from this world. Of course, you are not from here. You came from Fuyu. When everything has settled down, I'll take you home to visit your family."
HQ: "You know that is not what I meant."
JC: "If you think that's not enough, I'll conquer Fuyu after this. If you want to live in Fuyu, I'll make Fuyu the capital city of Liang."
HQ: "I'm not talking about Fuyu, Ji Chu!"
JC: "I know. I'm arrogant and cold-hearted. And I'm emotionally unstable. I'm not proactive enough and not considerate enough. Qing, if I change all of my bad habits, can you stop leaving me? " (Didn't that just break your heart?)
HQ: "Are you just going to ignore the truth?"
JC: "How much time do you have left?"
HQ: "I don't know."
JC: "Hua Qingge, I don't care who you are or where you are from. You are not allowed to leave me."

From that moment on, Ji Chu became very possessive of Hua Qingge, so much so that when he was doing his work, he made her sit on his lap while he read. (Not a bad option in my opinion). But Ji Chu did want to have a more meaningful wedding and night with Hua Qingge, and it was a good one from the looks of it.

But the novel was ending, it was time for the demise of Hua Qingge. As the empress was going all crazy and tried to kill Ji Chu. The empress holds a knife to Hua Qingge's throat. Instead of Ji Chu dying, Hua Qingge takes the knife that the empress has and slits her throat. Ji Chu is devastated. He cradles her in his arm and cries and cries as her body disappears, only to leave her gold bracelet.

Hua Qing wakes up in her bed as if no time has passed. She is crying and calling out for Ji Chu. The clocks begin to tick. She jumps up from the bed and goes to her computer and there is a new ending.

On the day Ji Yun ascended to the throne, he took poison to atone for his mother's sins. Fortunately, Gong Ye Qi saved Ji Yun. From then on, Ji Yun and Lin Xi Yao lived in seclusion at Melodious Serenity Abode, leading a peaceful life. With Gong Ye Qi's treatment, Emperor Xuanqi was saved from the brink of death but still required long-term bed rest. Therefore, Emperor Xuanqi abdicated in favor of the third prince, Ji Chu. After Ji Chu ascended to the throne, he changed the era to Xian De ushering in the flourishing age of Liang. Emperor Xian De mourned the passing of the late Princess Consort, Hua Qingge. He lived the rest of his life without remarrying, passing away peacefully in old age. - The End

The novel was well received and a guaranteed blockbuster. Leaving the office, the assistant told Hua Qing that her boss was interested in seeing her. She said that she really didn't need to see him and for him to just offer a higher copyright fee. She just bought a new laptop. She was broke. Rushing to leave, she turns around and standing in front of her is Ji Chu. She drops her new laptop. If you pay attention closely you will see the slightest uplift of his brow when she drops it. He opens up his suit coat, drops down on his knee and says, "Hua Quingge. Do you actually have no feelings for me? Are you picking me up and tossing me off?"

The ending is open to your interpretation but if you remember his parting words on the palace steps when he was the new emperor, you will understand:

"Xiao Yan, do you know what is my current wish? I'm now impatiently looking forward to finishing this life. Then go to Qing's world and take a look. "

Wouldn't we all like to take an opportunity to go into a novel? I know I would, Ji Chu, I'm coming....
