I will be brutally honest here..

i kind like the main leads character but the plot wasn't good enough to do them any justice ... series went well till ep 12 ML FL met ..they helped each other to achieve personal goals ..fall in love .. got married. story was heart warming and rom-com. but after this the plot turned into bitch slap crap .. kitchen politics and domestic drama phase ... like a total 180 degrees opposite to how it started .... i am pretty sure a lot of viewers must have given up on this series here ...

i sticked around though ... and from ep 25/26 onwards i find the story improved a little .. i mean it was watchable at this point .. then it went okay till ep 37 but as we reached closer to the ending ...writer messed up again ... i mean seriously messed up ... the ending for ML FL was satisfactory ...but for villains , NO ... you will feel a different level of frustration watching the villains who deserve severe punishments were not hold accountable enough even after committing crimes repeatedly.

this was not the type of series you would recommend others but if you happen to come across it and likely to watch it i suggest you read episodes guide side by side so that you can skip the unnecessary parts ..other wise you will be exhausted

Multiple- watch value stuff

This drama is not my fav let's take it from here but I have watched it more times than any of my fav dramas. If my my fav drama is my boyfriend than this one has to be my bestie I might not give it a ten star rating yet I can not get enough of it .. and moreover it was one of the very first korean shows I watched so there is a feeling of nostalgia attached to it ...

Now let's discuss the story a divorce woman becoming a doctor and the behaviour of her ex husband and in laws around her was very realistic .. there was this old spark thing .. jealousy that the ex wife is getting attention from other man ...
But the main thing that I felt was quite heart warming is he still fell for his ex wife though he had an option to marry a girl so young and more beautiful .. This is the type of love that our society has forgotten long ago ... Very heart touching

I loved the character of senior lady surgeon as well she was one of my favs ...the entire show, the story the cast evrything was so well put together ..I don't know what else can you ask for ..the trauma cases were interesting as well ...

PS ... I liked Dr romantic(only season 1) as well it has little similarities to this one

Felt like sand in my coffee

Though story had a lot of potential with all the revenge rebirth plot and conspiracy theory served to satisfy the viewers, but thanks to the pathetic acting skills it turned into a strange discomfort to watch. I know people have different opinion of a what a "good act" should be like but here I just want to share me own opinion. (And I will support in the end )
1) I can't feel enough rage ..the hellish fury from FL ... Oh come on !! You were burnt to death please be a little angry about it. There were hardly any instance that I can feel she died and she is upset about it. If you can find consider yourself lucky ...

2) The chemistry is quite awkward..taken for instance the parts where FL tends the ML's wounds ... Your lover is almost dead please be more supportive of him ..don't treat him like an untouchable.

3) repeated sniffing is not crying ...of you can't cry properly shut the FU and use tear drops ... Each and everytime he got wounded .. she sniffed the hell out of her nose ...my gosh so irritating.

4) ML wasn't good either he can't kiss. . you don't believe me watch again... And you will know.

I watched "rise from the ashes" practically on the same day I watched this show ... Though both series had almost same plot but the actors in Rise from the ashes acted a hundred times better than these fools ... I recommend you watch it ...you will see what type of rage and fury you missed here. That's a proper revenge rebirth plot

Very ordinary plot but still enjoyable

The story was enjoyable though full of cliche GAO did fantabulous job as ML ..but who can question his work ...I think he picks his role very carefully that suit his personality (like he pics modern setting roles instead of costume) he was charming ..his act was good ... FL also did an okay job on her part but I felt like her acting during emotional scenes kinda sucks ...she looks very conscious of her makeup and face orientation and doesn't put a real feel to her crying scenes ( reference : ep 09 , min 7 to 9) like who cries with such flat face ?????.. Other than that the drama was good ... It was short so no time wasted on crap .. you can definitely watch it while having your dinner tonight . .

Very close to a perfect

Plot was interesting..the story moves with consistent paces and there were comparatively very less low energy movements... The script writing was in my opinion the very core of this show ..there were punches every now and then that kept the comedy and light heartedness intact.. which got a nice justify ce through actor talent ,spontaneity and chemistry on screen ... Zhou Lusi and Ryan ding were amazing together..

Ending was little confusing or can say weird yet happy ... I guess this was one of those ending where the writer leaves loops open for the viewers to their own understanding about the entire thing ...

On the whole it was delightful.. loved watching it ...might be watching it again in future

Watch 1-2 skip to 16 and watch ..if there was an award for most awful lead this FL can easily win

First 16 episodes practically nothing happened he find the woman who took holy bead five year ago kidnap her and keep her in his kingdom .. obtaining beads need true love so all for the first 16 episodes he is trying to convince her to marry him ..while she is trying every silliest trick to run away ..
After Ep 16 plot starts to take it's shape ..
The drama is written poorly on FL's part ... Her character is annoying, absurd, selfish, irrational over dramatic Scrooge... Her action will make to hate her to the point of disdain ...may be the reason why villian of this show in not very active till ep 25 ...FL was filling up for the villian ...

Still I will not this drama to any of my frnds because seriously there are a lot better options out there why waste time on something like this ... Yet if are interested you can skip parts of episode at your own convienence from 3 episode to 16

Male lead chen zhe yuan was the highlight he acting was outstanding given he was wearing mask for most of time still he acted brilliantly through his eyes ... Female actor lead wasn't bad either ..only her character was written ridiculously..
I found the parallel lead actress fram cat bloodline better than the FL herself

Ok ok experience

ML looks like he walked straight out of a manhwa ...

This show is definitely not for those who don't understand the graphs in human psychology so if you are a very upright person better don't watch it





FL joins the ML office as his PA stays around for three years and they have a what we call an intense secret sexual affair.. ML is taking everything casually until the fiance comes back and FL leaves him ..

The plot is basically a concoction of various grey emotions that surface with the passing episodes ..first he is abusive ...then he becomes tyrant ... Further possessive ... And in the last he realizes everything he do is because he is in love with FL ... Though some people might find him having assualt tendencies..but as the story unfurls his past we come to know his emotional compass is a bit traumatized because of certain situation and FL is not as good as she pretends ...

The actress playing FL is good I have seen her in warm in cold night and see is loveable ..
Story has a good pace ... I didn't felt bored ..it progresses at consistent pace ..

If you have a mature thought process to assimilate emotional ups and downs you can definitely give it a try ..

Serious characters.. common plot and kung fu VFX

Quite to the point and flat base plot .. lead character have their own childhood issue and responsibilities that they have to go through.. helping each other to the best way possible.
FL is boss lady character while ML is like a kung Fu intern graduated from shadow sect. The master - guard relation was the highlight of this show


There were no bitch slap scenes ..and kitchen politics was minimum which I personally like...over all a good watch ..some people might find the story a little low pace and boring it's all up to preferences.. I enjoyed watching.

A Sigma female in all her glory

The female lead in this series was true SIGMA

She is kind ...smart .. intelligent ...strong focused ...amazing martial artist... ..attentive to details ... She is a saviour ... Reliable ..daring to take risks ... fought single handedly .. ML was mere helper in fact she never suggest him to fight. She gets him birthday gifts .. honestly she is a dream woman to a lot of guys out there ... The chemistry between leads was clean ..no beating around the bush like other shows which make JALEBIS out of a love story.
That was about the lead characters


Story didn't have much time it . A regular avenge the death of family pattern. Secret investigations, looking for clues and holding the villian accountable ...
My take from the show was the FL character ..she was motivating .. I suggest if you wanna give this show a try watching it for the characters and their conduct ... Story might not be able to fancy you.

Addicting Rom-com in all its chaos

I happened to lost the track of time while watching this show ...It was so addicting ...
Though Plot is little random and confusing at first ... And a lot of things were not given the due explanation..still I was fun to watch ... The events are taking place in a very haphazard manner and between the events we see leads's blooming love .chemistry between the leads is somewhat unique. I mean they are couple but more like comrades ..or a team ..they just don't share romance but a fair deal of team work ...

Cast is amazing the FL is beautiful ML is extremely handsome.will be watching more of their shows

"love story with tragic end in a loop" -absurd writing of convenience.

The core moral of the series was "no matter how many chances you are given you can't escape your fate",which is perhaps true as a statement ...but ...

The destiny of side characters was distorted to the level of their death just to make the leads meet their destiny ... Where in the Mary's world does this scenario makes any sense?????. You as a writer want to convey a massage about inescapable destiny but you kill FL's lead sister ..you kill ML's childhood friend/vamp,who weren't supposed to die .. you add more characters and kill them as well ... What about these people ??? Their destiny doesn't count ???
**I WANT JUSTICE FOR THESE SIDE CHARACTERS **

as we move away from the obvious mistakes in the plot we see the story started on a good pace .. leads were bright and comic ... Then as we finish more episodes they started becoming more and more hopeless and stupid ...they can't actually do anything to atleast try and make a difference. Anyways I think thats the fundamental rule in drama world you have to leave the logic out as you enter the world ...

In my opinion the cast was very impressive I didn't find any character from leads to vamp and support roles who doesn't fit the scene.

You can try watching it but it's one of those series which are more likely to be dropped around 15th episode ..there is no juice after that ..just a drag

Real-life crush VS gaming crush in complications

The show started on a good note as FL likes ML in real life while he likes her in gaming ..both are gaming enthusiasts working towards the gaming industries in their own way.. the concept was cute, especially as he gets jealous of himself unknowingly when he here's about FL's crush ( who is he himself in real life) ... There is soft romance ..healthy jealousy... Sparking chemistry with almost enough comedy between the two.
I must say Zhou ye was the perfect choice for FL role she is my fav and I love watching her in playful roles. ML character compliment it even better (but I live for the FL here ?)
Coming back to plot the only thing I felt missing they added very less scenes about the process of creating games ... These days people don't watch drama just for the sake of love story but they actually look into the purpose/profession of characters. I wish they could have elaborated the process of game programming or something ... Rest is well directed ...

A soft delight to watch ..you can definitely go for it.

Cute romantic comic entertaining

Story is about past classmates who meet again under different situation so like most chinese shows this story is also backed by a plot in the past.

OST and closing soundtracks were one of the best?

Entire cast is impressive ... Leads have good chemistry ... The ML character is quite calm and collected whereas the FL lead (one of the twin sisters) is bubbly funny sassy talkative ..NENE did amazing job playing tye double role ... I personally feel there are very less chinese actresses who can play comic roles ... Most of the times their comic act turn into sort of over acting but not with this actress ... She totally convinced me with ...I was laughing loud ...and i even watched various scenes on repeat cause she was genuinely funny ??? ... ML character in contrast to hers added beautifully to their chemistry like you know "calm male bubbly female couple" duo are always the best ...

The story has different shades of white and black like comic ..crush ..romantic ... Friendships.. then to the contrast it has events of assualt...rape ... Abduction .. suicide ... Attempt to murder .. I mean to say a full package ...

I think it worth watching

Re-watch value ...that depends on the individual
