Well what I can conclude from this drama is, you don't need 4 reason to hate Christmas, you only need 1, which is you don't have someone special to spend the time with. Haha...

Every single person here is lonely and of course they don't have that special someone to spend Christmas with, so they become bitter with everyone seem enjoy their Christmas with their loved one.... Sometimes I glad live in my country where Christmas & American's holiday (such Halloween) not feel so much of celebration like in the drama.

I really wish this drama bring more than the lonely people who feel bitter & jealous with everyone have couple or loved one to spend the holiday season together. But I kinda glad to see not everyone of them in the end get match with someone....

But overall in the end this still one good short drama to spend your time with....

Long time heard about this drama, watch little by little until finally I've finished it today. Haha...

This is indeed a very unique drama, funny, light hearted, but at the same time still quite heavy with it's political issue. What stop me from time to time watching this, as usual for me, the duration of K-drama with each ep more than 60 min.

But to be truth as non k-drama watcher the more ep sometimes the more confuse I am with the political issue. With the king become the doll king & all the corruption in the kingdom. Sometimes I feel like just want to drop this drama, but then they make it funny and full of excitement again with the story of the king & the queen. Hehe...

Unfortunately for me this drama close its curtain with weird phase or u may say the weird phase for Jang Bong Hwan in the future. It's like something amiss that I can't put my finger into....

But overall this really one good & unique drama for you to fill yours days...

Another short drama that have messed up plot. Ugh... I can't even understand at first what this drama about... So damn confusing...

The story about one girl (Fang Xiao Ying (XY)) that very anti social, most people can't see her & she little by little become disappearing. The only person that notice & can see XY until the very end only Yu Zhi Ang (ZA) & he often said he is the reason for XY to disappear. OK until this I still found this drama very curious & want to know is XY in the end will disappear or not.

But in the end XY did disappear & the story from this fall apart very fast & very confusing. Everything ZA did after XY disappear is very confusing & have no logic. And after that we just wake from the dream & everything start to make more sense.

But there're no saving from the moment XY disappear. it just become one flop drama in the end.

Well as usual as other short drama this included in one messed up plot...

The story happen just so damn fast, with the no clear of the problem & one confusing plot that like jumping from scene to scene.

Story happen at first when Wang Zi Fei come across with her boyfriend with another woman that turn out her big client, and suddenly there was Dong Zi Fan just out of nowhere over marriage to her. The summary told us about business enemy... Well this is not really the case. Yeah they're company is rival to each other, with Zi Fan as the owner at the rival company and Zi Fei only as employe at her company. Later on, Zi Fei's boss want to do dirty business & ask Zi Fei to steal Zi Fan company secret. This where the plot get messier & makes no sense. Maybe if they make the plot more tidy it's gonna be better & much more make sense.

Overall this only one short drama that running over in ur time

too many forced accidents

Watch this of course for our lead, Janice Wu & Luo Yun Xi. I must say I'm disappointed with this drama. They forced too many good things that happen here. Every problem get the result by the next scene or next ep.

The forced accidents that I notice (not by order, just by my memory):
- Zhou Ming Ming (MM) being teased by his friend, the next thing that happen, those friends need to be saved by him & got forced to do all the rescuer exercises, so they got to know what it feel like to be the rescuer.
- When MM need money for his company, the next moment there is someone invest in his company.
- Zhan Yan (ZY) need to confirm her feeling for Luo Ben (LB), the next thing that happen, they trapped together & get the moment together. Same thing happen with Ding Ding Ding (DDD), when she need to confess to MM, the next thing that happen, the accident where MM saved her.
- One of the most stupid forced things when MM want to married DDD. They obviously on the fight mode, after MM's mom visit DDD's parent, and they also break up. Still DDD upload the comic where she tell the story of their character being proposed. It's just the same with you put on bulletin board what do you want. When MM see that, just light bulb in his head, he go proposed without need to find out first why DDD angry & break up with him.
- When LB need reason to go visit ZY in the village after they fight & break up. Of course the next thing that happen, something happen to ZY where LB need to rescue her.
- When Da Peng need money for his daughter illness, the next thing that happen, someone offered big piled of money, of course with the clause he has to follow.
- After Xiong Fei (XF) just learning sign language, Luo Yuan (LY) just easily and conveniently using sign language like he understand all...
- Almost every ep, there were something need rescued. Expecially related with raining & floated.

Apart from all the forced accidents that happen, there are also several things that minus in a way:
- The moment LB forgive ZY's dad. In my opinion it's just lack one scene, where they talk heart to heart. Unfortunately what we got only after the confession that Zhan Qing Shan made, the next thing we know LB & him already casually talk like nothing ever happen between them.
- We don't know what happen in ZY's head after she broke up with LB. LB said he contacted her few times but she never picked up. WHY? What r u afraid of. The forgiveness must come from LB's side. For me the moment he's already contact her that mean he's already let go of the past. Why doesn't she pick up the phone...????

Every drama still have good & bad things. The good thing:
+ The Humanity aspect for the volunteer rescue squad. Not everything can be measure with money.
+ How to not judge book by its cover. XF is former inmate, but that's doesn't mean he did something bad for it
+ How to fight for something. I don't know this actually good or bad point. But everything that LB did to XF & LY kinda good & bad. Good because yeah finally we know for sure what XF willing to sacrificed for LY, but at the same time it's also bad because it's a little bit too much for me. That's also why almost all the rescue squad misunderstood LB in the first place.
+ I really like the character of DDD. Although yes DDD sometimes like has no manner, but I really like how thick her face when she deal with MM's mom. She's takes no for answer, no matter how rude MM's mom was, until she forced to accept DDD & see her with new perspective.
+ The forgiveness. How in the end ZY forgive her dad.
+ No crazy love rival. Yeah we got love rival. But I love how easy they let go their feeling. It's the mature things to do. Expecially LB's friend (I forget her name), after LB reject the watch from her & said those words, she just understand & let go without go crazy. I really like how when she about to go abroad she still turn for the last time like she's still heavy to release the feeling.

Although I watch this for Janice Wu & Luo Yun Xi. But one of my biggest disappointment is the chemistry between Janice Wu & Luo Yun Xi. Something strange about them, like something not click between them. I don't know it's just because of the character of the actor themselves, expecially from Janice, I feel Janice feeling so tense toward Luo Yun Xi. Yeah I know her character is kinda cold & don't understand romantic feeling. That's why I told you that I don't know it's just because of the character of the actor themselves.

Overall this just another drama to watch

Watch this originally for my 2022 Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge, but in the end letter (A) filled with another drama. Hohoho... But however this drama got me quite hooked so I've decided to continue watch it until the end...

This drama actually quite good, but the problem is this drama has too many story on hand. I more prefer if they more focus on one story. I mean like they have the story about the travelling and also the problem with the painting and the drug trafficker that maybe make the story more appealing, but in my opinion make it become too many story to tell.

This drama really attrack us with the scenery of china. Along their way we can see how beautiful China scenery, food and also the culture. Make me really want to visit China again and travel by backpacking....

I also really like how they develop the feeling between the couple. Jin Xiao Tian (XT) & Li Xin Yue (XY) building their trust with each other. Although at first really frustated with how stupid Sheng Xia (SX) toward Chu Zhi Han (ZH), but I really glad how in the end ZH finally can see how 'stupid' SX to him & decided to reply SX feelings.

This drama also not lack with problem.
- How stupid XY when she decided to bring Chu Hong Fei to court to accuse him acknowledge her dad's painting. Hello... XY don't have any proof but yet XY already so hasty to uphold justice to her dad... No wonder she lose the first time right...
- The problem with Hu Zhi Hui (ZH) & Ouyang seem so weird at first, but yeah finally everything explained in the end. But still how fast actually ZH & Ouyang trust XT also one big question mark
- The stupid of Ouyang. Usually when you are a big boss in the drug member, you have someone you trust. But here Ouyang seems to have no one as his right hand man. Like ZH or the other man, he seems have no trust in them. So that's why no wonder in the end he meet his end like that.
- The police forces that's seem easy to corporate. Haha... This is maybe just me watch too many police drama. But usually every police force at every city like all in the hand of Feng captain. He just need to pick up the phone to tell what XT's problem & like that everyone seem eager to help XT.

Overall this one good drama to watch. Just prepare urself for the long ride. Haha...

Too painful to watch

I really can't bear to watch the sufferings of Lu An Ran (AR). So yeah I watch jump this drama, but enough to grab the big picture.

One conclusion I can get from this drama. Destiny is really exist. Chinese people often said destiny line can't be changed, everything already written for you in destiny book. Several thing AR can change with very painful way, but something also can't be change whatever she did.

Watching this make me question myself what will I do if I were AR. Will I run as far as possible from Mu Ze & Emperor's family? Or I also will fight the destiny and kick his butt like AR did? Probably I'll gonna try ran as far & as fast as possible from all that painful destiny, because I'm not as brave as AR.

In the end, If you look for revenge drama with different tone, this drama you can try to watch.... But overall this actually one good drama. It just me who has no gut to continue watch it....

Watch this for my 2022 Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge and the title and also the story remind me of America movie 17 again, which turn out this drama based upon.

What I like:
+ How this drama elaborate more the old married couple problem. Jung Da Jung (DJ) & Hong Dae Young simply remind us how not neglect little thing in our daily life with our partner, even as old married couple. Like how to say love or miss you to our couple, and also simple gesture that show we still care with our partner, like notice when they tired or just need ears to listen.
+ The flashback that take away our emotion. But unfortunately they didn't give us clue when the relationship turn bitter. Just a bit glance & the big bang that explode it.
+ How important the communication is. The good point, even though they married young but they emotion relatively stable in their young age. The relationship turn south because the lack communication from both couple. The feeling better I keep it to myself then make another burden to my partner become daily consumption that eat us now or later.
+ The fight after the re-married. Even after their re-married doesn't mean the problem end there. They still fighting but they also communicate more.
+ The changing perspective of the head department in TV station. How DJ just using her capability to shut people mouth and just prove herself.

Overall this one good drama to spend your times with....

When I heard about the pair (Hu Yi Tian & Chen Yu Qi) quite curious but expect nothing. In the end I really glad I decided to watch this. Hu Yi Tian once more make me happy with his choice of drama, where he not only pick one typical drama or charcter. Here I also can see his Martial Art a bit & that's not disappointing at all.

My heart fall apart together with Jin A Yin (A Yin), especially in the last few ep. But that last few ep I also really want to slap A Yin to wake up & be strong... Because what to happen will happen and you know even from the beginning, so just wake up!!!!! But yeah I can understand her. If that's me, probably will do the same with her & if I were her best friend we will gonna cry together. Haha...

Xiang Qin Yu (QY) is one of the smartest man in the time travel history. He is so quick to adapt to his situation & not confusing for too long (or maybe at all) if I can say... Haha. Maybe you can say this one of the minus or plus of the plot.

I really like that at the end of every ep they give us cartoon picture of the last scene of that ep & for most there're extra sweet moment. And the chemistry between Hu Yi Tian & Chen Yu Qi not disappointing, I quite like it.

What I don't too like is why they didn't give A Yin a friend to share shoulder. Like the best friend that she can rely after QY go, so simply she just not alone.... & kinda disappointing in the end they're not reunite A Yin & QY again, even with QY as an old man, how beautiful if that's our ending.

And actually the last ep where everything seem back to the beginning quite frustating too... Why must they make it like reset...? Why not just continuing...? Why make it like dream & the reality quite different from what we watch that whole time...?

Overall this one good drama to watch. Quite different concept from usual time travel story...

Something a miss

Watch this for my 2022 Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge and turn out I quite enjoy it. But in the end feel like something a miss in the end. Like the final didn't give enough punch to close the curtain, feel like if they added something in the end it's gonna be better, but I also don't know what they must put in the end to make this drama more complete...

The story itself actually also quite confusing for me. The past between Yoon Na Na (NN) and Lee Roo Mi (RM) not enough explanation, just a bit here and there to give us big picture, but really lack in detail.... But I quite like the way NN & RM finally grow or let that horrible past & rekindle their friendship in the end.

But overall for a short drama, I must say this drama have beginning, middle & end. And quite worth ur time to watch this.

out with a bang

Wow... Never expected I can watch more obvious BL than Word Of Honor comes from c-dramaland. The long lingering eye in Jiang Yue Lou (YL) & Chen Yu Zhi (YZ) also Zhan Jun Bai (JB) & Yu Tang Chun are speak louder than any word can describe. Haha.... How many times I wished this come from another country, so we can get more intimate interaction between our boys... Haha... I lost count to how many times I really want to scream to my screen Kiss please kiss, when I see how YL see 'his' YZ... Haha...

But unfortunately this drama still has it's own plot holes:
- A little doesn't make sense how easy Bai Jin Bo change side.
- A little too easy to overruled the plan that JB & his uncle already arrange
- A little too hasty for Chu Ran's planning to married JB, I know their time is very limited, but still too hasty if I may say & that's why everything just fall cramble after that
- Why must they leave YL in the end all alone....???

The saddest part is how in the end we see how lonely YL is with no one beside him. This drama really leave big hole in my heart. Really hope we can get a happy ending for our boys. But I can't say this kind of ending suck & ruin the whole drama, maybe for you who really really hate sad ending.

good concept bad execute

Quite intrigue to watch this by reading the summary. But like ssr04 wrote, the good concept became so bad because of bad writing. I can't count how many I twitch or raising my elbow due to very weird pacing of the script. Like sometimes one scene to another there were big gap that makes no sense that this scene supposed to be after that scene, I have to rewind it several times to make sure I don't skip episode, but suddenly remembered I'm in the middle of episode not the new one. It's like they write something to feel the gap but just decided not to put in the end.

All the character make me raising my elbow to... Like how in the end that more protective toward Jing Zhi Xia (ZX) is Fu Ze Yi (ZY) instead Lin. Lin said he fall in love with ZX but I can't feel the love itself from him. Don't forget the most unfit CEO of hotel like Jian Qian (ZX's uncle).

I more like the story of Ai Xin & Jian Bu Fan, for me their story more realistic & their acting quite good.

Overall this just another drama to watch.

Bored from watching drama, need escaping for a moment to collect my opinion about the drama I've just recently watch & put it into review. I decided to watch something else except drama. That's how I came to this game show.

Quite interesting to see how smart, quick thinking & logic of our actor/ess involve in this game show. So funny too to see who brave and timid among them. Although watch this make me also think is this real, are they reaction real not only act to make the game show interesting or is the quick thinking and logic also real not the script...? Well we only can guess and keep trusting that the whole thing we watched at least real.

I also quite impress with all other guess actor or NPC that involve. They can keep they face flat or have no reaction no matter what our member reaction. Like the first ep where Zhang Yu Jian still with no expression face apart from all the scream our member make.

Quite unique actually when they can combine the game with psychological issue in the society. Like when Kids force to study or bullying... And really interesting to see how they interconnected the scene from previous game.

Overall this actually quite bored game show. I don't know maybe just because the interaction between member not as good like Monkey90 wrote or just the game overall, must compare with season 1.

First time I feel the time really slow when I watch c-drama. No not from boring plot but something else. Then I start to notice the time stamp in each episode. Whoa.... they have more than usual, 30-45 min, and each episode it's more than 60 min like k-drama. No wonder time feel so slow to me... Haha....

Ok. Let's talk drama.

This drama talks about family, friendship, past & trauma & also choice we must take.

As usual, our ML is one cold hearted man that can only melted with our FL. While this drama also bring different perspectives and priorities of life that Yu Hao (YH) & Su Ke Lan (KL) have and at the end that's how that's effect their relationship.

What I really like:
+ How YH really try to change himself to be a better man. How he learn what really important in life from KL.
+ Simple recipes for ordinary home cooked meals that everyone can follow at home.
+ Do not underestimate the family value that YH or KL has. I mean how in the end KL still things her mom is important, that's just show us what family mean to KL.
+ How cute our director (Jin Xuan) actually is. How in the end he is one perfect match for Zhang Bi.
+ How YH try to mend the relationship with his dad & how in the end he understand his dad & his mom relationship, and also the burden his dad has.

What I don't too like:
- Han Meng (HM) kinda too intervene with KL love life.
- the relationship between HM & Gong Wen Xing kinda stupid & cute at the same time. They have one too fast forward relationship & how in the end that show us what problem will gonna surface later.
- the show up of the ex-girlfriend that messed up everything

Overall this one good drama to watch.
