Guess Who I Am
I am very interested in Romance and Comedy Genre dramas. At the start of the screening, I was very interested and fell in love with the cast of this drama. I continued every day until the end of the episode made me even more interested. Recommended drama Wang Zi Qi and Zhang Yu Xi.Wang Zi Qi (Ji Chengchuan / Qin Hao) disguises himself as his friend who died in an accident. Replacing his friend as the heir to a large company. Zhang Yu Xi (Song Yao) is a woman who has magic eyes. If a rich man looks into Song Yao's eyes, he will fall in love with Song Yao. He has to wear sunglasses to be more careful with his magic eye

Totally Unexpected while hitting the tropes right
This was a fun show to watch. I enjoyed all the tropes they threw in. It's refreshing to see the writers make fun of the tropes and use them to enhance the show instead of as a crutch to support the show. The who-done-it mystery was stretched just the right amount. They made me laugh, cry, breathe a sigh of relief, believe in love, and want to see all of the couples form. I feel bad for poor SSL as in the end, he still hadn't found his Aphrodite.Questa recensione ti è stata utile?
IRRITATING FEMALE LEAD
IRRITATING FEMALE LEAD, BUT THE DRAMA IN GENERAL IS A ONE TIME WATCH.- BEST FRIENDS CONCEPT
- GOOD SECOND AND THIRD LEAD COUPLES
- EVEN A GOOD VILLIAN BUT JUST THE HEROINE SPOILS THE ENTIRE DRAMA, BUT THE HEROINE CHARACTER MATURES A BIT AFTER 15TH EPISODE BUT UNTIL THEN YOU WILL DEFINITELY HAVE A DILEMMA IF WE SHOULD DROP THIS DRAMA. I STUCK AROUND AS I LIKED THE OTHER CHARACTERS IN THE DRAMA.
- NOT A DRAMA THAT WILL MAKE YOU JAW DROP WITH THE ROMANTIC SCENES AS IT WILL BE DEFINITELY SPOILED BY THE FEMALE LEAD.
- THIS DRAMA IS A MERE 7 ONLY BECAUSE OF HER .

Romance + thriller/mystery with smart female lead
This drama was part of my watchlist because I wanted to watch romance with thriller/mystery element with a smart female lead. Such a fun series to watch!What I liked:
1) Song Yao characterisation - I love that she is smart and resourceful - a femme fatale instead of a damsel in distress. I wasn't a fan of her secret weapon but some scenes were funny. Glad that she didn't use too much of her secret weapon because that could cloud viewers' judgement on her capabilities.
2) Ji Cheng Chuan characterisation - I like that he is a working class character and not your typical cold, bossy CEO character. He is smart and compassionate and at times naive about love.
3) Acting - This is my second drama of Wang Zi Qi (the first being Once We Get Married) and I enjoyed his acting. This drama has more action scenes and he seemed to handle the stunts and fighting choreography quite well. This is my first Zhang Yu Xi drama and I quite enjoyed her acting too. She did great in portraying Song Yao's vulnerability.
4) Romance - I enjoyed the romance between Song Yao and Ji Cheng Chuan. They were true partners, in personal and professional aspects of their lives. Even though there are not many kissing scenes, there were plenty of eye gazing, genuine smiles, hand holding and small gestures.
5) Supporting characters - Sheng Si Lin is surprisingly my favourite supporting character. I didn't like him at the start of the series because his purpose in the drama was to provide comedic relief but my thoughts changed when I watch his transformation from a himbo heir / socialite to a man worthy of managing his family's company. I also enjoyed the change of dynamics between Sheng Si Lin, Song Yao and Ji Cheng Chuan. Song Lingren is another favourite of mine too.
6) Villain - Despite being obvious to the audience, the villain arc was done well and the actor acted well too.
7) Ending - I like how the mystery/thriller saga was brought to conclusion because I was worried about how the writers going to wrap up that saga. It's great that Song Yao was shown both positive and negative responses to her novel - that scene and the actual meet cute were delightful to watch!
What I disliked:
1) Misfortunes - I pity Song Yao for facing many misfortunes, with 2 life-threatening ones.
2) Liang Jing Yi - An annoying character who silly enough to not that she was a pawn in a bigger game. For someone who studies abroad, she seemed quite sheltered / lacking life experience and unworldly.
Favourite scene:
Wedding of Ji Cheng Chuan and Song Yao. That twist was unexpected!

complicity at its best!
first time i really enjoy the intro song! gives you the exact fresh jazziness we need from the main couple!while the story is extravagant, stereotyped and cringe, the main characters were really well done! they made me enjoy this drama!
what i loved most was the couple
-their wittiness and authenticity
-complicity ! i love that we see them grow more and more connected to each other and how they communicate!
-they both had strong cohesive personality that did not unexpectedly change to fit the plot!
-Most shows start strong when it involves undercover/ con artists, but 2-3 episodes in we never see that side again... Here, we were ALWAYS reminded of their con artist talents!
-the love triangle ? well handled
- the bad guys? a little overdone...
enjoyable romcom!

PLOT: (Unfortunate) meeting between a young heir, the ML, who returns in China to claim the Chairman position and inheritance, and a FL. She has the gift of “charm” and runs a “justice” agency. The events will lead the CL to get married (contract), then to help each other to discover what is hidden about the "accidents" which have taken place for 15 years.
PROS:
+ Good actors and good chemistry within the CL.
+ a more or less coherent story
+ balance investigation / humor / romance
+ Effective production, without length.
CONS:
- You need a lot of indulgence to accept the obvious twists, the plotholes, the clichés (which the screenwriter himself makes fun of :)
- the heroes who go alone to face the Villains, and the police who arrive when it's all over... We're tired of it!!
=> To be seen only as entertainment and for Wang Zi Qi
**********************************************************************
1e épisode pas accrocheur... pourtant j'aime bcp Wang Zi Qi, mais je n'adhère pas au jeu de Zhang Yu Xi (qui se contente d'être belle). Cela devient meilleur après les 4-5 premiers.
PLOT: Rencontre (malheureuse) entre un jeune héritier, le ML, qui revient réclamer poste de CEO et héritage, et une FL. Celle-ci possède le don du "charme" et dirige une agence de "justiciers". Les évènements vont amener le CL à se marier (contrat), puis à s'aider pour découvrir ce qui se cache sur les "accidents" qui ont lieu depuis 15 ans.
PROS:
+ De bons acteurs et une bonne alchimie au sein du CL.
+ une story +/- cohérente
+ équilibre investigation / humour / romance
+ Réalisation efficace, sans longueur.
CONS:
- Il faut bcp bcp d'indulgence pour accepter les twists évidents, les plotholes, les clichés (dont le screenwriter lui-même se moque :)
- les héros qui vont seuls affronter les Villains, et la police qui arrive qd tout est fini... Y'en a marre !!
=> A voir seulement comme divertissement et pour Wang Zi Qi

The most self-aware and entertaining cliche-fest you'll watch in a long time.
Let me just start off by saying that this drama, by no means, is flawless. Not even close. Nuh-uh. If we're talking logic and realism, you won't find it here for the most part. In regards of the thriller/mystery aspect, it's way too convenient. There's way too many co-incidences and the cops are non-existent. The world in this drama is perfectly curated for the main characters-- a fantasy, if you say so.Then, what's up with my rating? Oh, yeah. Did I not mention how effing entertaining this drama actually really is?
'Guess Who I Am' is pure mindless entertainment. If you're willing to overlook everything that isn't related to the romcom aspect of this show, this drama is an easy ride. The fun main leads, accompanied by equally spunky supporting characters, ensure that there won't be a single boring moment as long as they're on-screen. Everyone has amazing natural chemistry with each other and the actors seemed like they were genuinely having fun on set, which made things all the more better. Coupled with actually hilarious moments, sweet kisses, warm hugs, loving stares and much-appreciated communication-- as a romcom, this drama is top-notch. This was like one of those mini c-dramas but with longer episodes and honestly? That's literally what I was asking for since those mini ones barely ever hold my attention.
In conclusion, if I had to rate this drama as nothing more than a rom-com, it'd be a 9/10. But admittedly, everything else is nonsensical. However, this is literally the best guilty pleasure I've seen in a long while. For the sake of the romances, laughs and chemistry-- definitely worth the watch.

Mystery intrigue : Cons make better detectives.
Mystery intrigue... with Wang Zi Qi and Zhang Yu Xi.An Intersting new tale of detective & cold case mistery mixed in with childhood friends meet fated love. A great lighthearted watch with cute cast in a play with story within story script. Don't underestimated their ability to portray emotions, and tap the literary "4th wall". So many good scenes, imagery, symbolism, and lines of wisdom from our teams. And a hidden gem perfomances from Liu Zhe Hui (because everyone needs a best tech support wingman) and He Peng ("super hero idol in disguise).
Creative guides Director: Zhong Qing and Screenwriter: Xu Meng s.

Cute, funny with great chemistry!
*Just a small midway review. *Watch it for the lovely chemistry between the leads, some really good acting and an really quirky story!
STORY : Went in with minimal expectations but was pleasantly surprised by how funny the story is! The story is actually something I have not seen before even though it is mistaken identity, revenge, contract marriage, etc, it has a very different approach to it all. Things are quite light hearted and FL and her friends are crazy hilarious bunch!
First episode might seem confusing, but just continue watching and it gets clearer.
Just don't expect too much logic and stuff, it's just like most of the other C dramas in that aspect. If you you don't take it seriously you will enjoy it.
ACTING : Have liked ZYX (FL) since 'love at night', so checked it out for her and she has a nice quirky role in this. ML is also really good and I am planning to check out his old shows now!
CHEMISTRY : Both the leads have a very cute and sweet chemistry. ML is a total sweetheart especially as the episodes go by. (I want to write more about it but it might be a spoiler, so I am going to resist writing about it! Lol) Either way watch it for them!

Wang Zi Qi Zhang Yu Xi Drama
Thank You. I've been waiting for this drama to air for a long time. Very good drama and recommended even though the wait was long. Drama starring Wang Zi Qi and Zhang Yu Xi. CEO and woman with magic eyes. It's funny every time a rich man sees those magic eyes. The author of the novel is extraordinary in his creativity in writing. In the end, an exciting drama was created. Very sweet drama to watch. I enjoyed watching every episode. Continued success for the drama. Hopefully it will enter TOP Drama.Questa recensione ti è stata utile?
Liars love story!
It is a decent cdrama overall! I enjoyed from the first episode till the last episode. Might be biased bcs of WZQ but all the tropey tropes done so well. I am a fan of enemy to lovers and contract marriage thingy :)The leads
Wang Ziqi ; this is his 3rd CEOs drama but i do think he did well ! Qin Hao not as same as his other two characters before this. And as expected he excels all the micro expression. I just love how he did grumpy sulky childish husband character so well! Kudos wang ge!
Zhang Yuxi ; this is my first time seeing her and voila i am so impressed with her performance. She is such a beauty which no need that magic ( you will know later if you watch the drama ) to make people fall in love with her!
Their chemistry totally 💯! I love their banters, chaotic moments! Thats was so fun to watch! Their flirting scene tho 🫠There were a lot of hilarious moments so make sure to watch them!
I enjoyed too seeing QH's team & SY's team !
Overall, i am having a lot of fun watching this drama!

Clichè but done right, chemistry is the winner for me.
The most important thing in a drama for me in chemistry & that includes the overall chemistry b/w main leads as well as their interaction with the side characters.The found family trope is my favourite & sheng siling's fireworks just adds to it on a whole different level. ...LAUGHS***
I LOVED THE AESTHETICS OF KALEIDOSCOPE.
THE GREENS AND YELLOWS WERE SO PRETTY AT NIGHT..
I think how the drama incorporated suspense/thrill was somewhat NOT offputting & quite interesting for me cause I'd been already loving the rom-com side of the drama in which the first is basically focused on.
Adding to that, i also feel like the childhood lovers trope is overused BUT AGAIN IDK THEY DID IT BEAUTIFULLY.
I like stargazing just like the leads so I may be biased but i'd love to rewatch it someday when I've lost glimpses of most scenes.
ALSO I MUST MENTION THE SECOND AND THIRD COUPLE DYNAMICS ARE MILDLY TOUCHED BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY REALLY INTELLIGENT OF THE DIRECTOR CAUSE ALREADY THE PLOT IS TIGHT SO DWELLING TOO MUCH ON THEM CAN GET THE PLOG STAGNANT.
ALSO, THE BRIEF INTERSECTIONS B/W ARE ENOUGH TO FEED MY DELULU MIND
Lastly, for some people it will be just another clichè rom-com & for people like me it could be a breathe of fresh air from heavy plots & stuff.
P.S. : Not a single average ost.
Specifically the OST they play when someone is in LOVEEEEEE ~ is my favourite <3
