new record to me...

Hey!!! I've successfully completed this whole drama in one day!!! Yes that's addicted this drama to me. Made me don't want to drop or even pause it.

This drama is about love, friendship & also life decision. As this drama started we can see our 3 females lead (FL) in the intersection of their life, either with love or job. As the drama go we also can see they find new love & new direction in their love.

The FL in this drama is some picture of our (audience) life. We have at least met one of these 3 women, the quirky Liu Jing, the pretty Fang Xin or the strong Xia Meng. Their struggles, their friendship, their life is really relate to our daily life & struggle.

Apart of all of what I wrote above I also like they not only give us the adult life of our FL but also their youth, that give us some kind of narration of their character. What more... They also give us a glimpse of the ML youth story also what shape their character.

Overall even though this drama doesn't have very popular actor/ess to upgrade the rating, but this drama really one good drama to watch. Every problem have meaning & every decision we make must be lived wholeheartedly.

another bored plot

Watch this like Blizzardahm, also for Cheng Xiao and Luo Yunxi, also not hoping too much for the plot nor the chemistry. But in the end I really bored with the plot of crazy psychopath that doing anything in the name of love. So yeah I drop the star.

The first part drama still catch my interest, but the later part really bored me until I can't take it anymore and just decided to jump watch the last episode. My lost interest start after the Huo Jian arrested and the bad buy swift to Xie Ming Hao. After I can guess what this plot will gonna bring in the end, and after the reveal of what happen in the past to Su Xie Yi's dad I decided just stop watching and just watch the end.

The only good thing from this drama is in my opinion is the song. I quite love the soundtrack. But everything else just mediocre. The chemistry between Cheng Xiao and Luo Yunxi also not so much, not enough to save the drama. I more love to see the chemistry between Luo Yunxi & Bai Lu. Really looking forward for their drama this year.

Overall another mediocre drama to watch if only u are the fans of the actror/ess that played this drama.

many unrealistic thing

First off all yes it is a boring drama, I've watched several last episode with double speed, want to drop, but I still took interest with the story overall, so double speed it was...

The unrealistic thing:
1. This drama demonstrate to us the thin line between hate & love, so thin until we don't notice when that thin line disappear & they just changing direction. Gu Zi Chen (ZC) love for Su Nian Nian (NN) we can see from the beginning, but the changing in NN from hate to love is so weird & so fast. Fortunately Niu Jun Feng & Xing Fei chemistry still quite good.

2. They have the most relaxed university ever. I think they only have 2 classes. Practice & theory teach by Teacher Jiang. Most of the time is only self-study classes.

3. So much power NN has as The Class Monitor, no wonder they gave the title Your Highness, The Class Monitor to this drama. NN responsibility is far beyond the ordinary Class Monitor, it feel really unrealistic.

4. What an angel Ye Xing Yu is. No man is that kind & innocent.

5. The misunderstanding & the amnesia just bored me. That's just like they need a plot to fill the duration time.

Overall this just one drama to spend ur time. If u are a fans of Niu Jun Feng or Xing Fei u may watch this. But nothing too special about this drama.

Drama with two different timelines

This is the first time i watch the 2 season drama with different timeline. Usually just people from modern time travel to ancient time or vice versa, not completly 2 different timelines.

Bai lu in here so gracefully, we can really sense her as noble lady. But I a little bit not accustomed to bai lu & allen ren voice in here, so different with their usual / real voice.

My heart really2 hurt to see the love story between Zhou Sheng Chen (SC) & Cui Shi Yi (SY). We know for sure they love each other. But because the stubbornness of SC they can't be together. Ironically i just remember what Lu Si Cheng from Falling Into Your Smile said when he confess his feeling, the main thing is what the use of principle if that make him lose the girl that he love.

This is the first time i really relucant to see the ending because of the sadness & heart broken scene, & this is also the first time we know for sure the ending will gonna be heart broken scene. That's why i have to reduce the point here :(. But fortunatelly they promise us a happy ending in the second season, forever & ever (F&E) & really2 thankfully we don't need to wait for F&E to be air & for us to watch.

Bai lu & Aleen ren really do a very good job here. We can really feel their feeling. We happy & sad & heart broken together with them. Can't wait to watch F&E :)

Just turn off ur brain to watch this drama

1 rule to watch this drama. Turn off your brain from all the ilogical thing that happen in this drama, then you can enjoy the ride... ^_^.

Like many people write in here, yeah many ilogical thing happen in this drama. Very cliche & troupe thing happen in rom-com world only. But i really like the ending where both of the couple married & they even can tease the groom :d. That last scene is the reason i take interest with this drama & that's also why i give the rating quite high.

Ok lets talk about the ilogical thing in this drama:
* Like Joyce Chan wrote in her/his review. How come the bride don't know the groom face, can't she search on internet...? It's still makes sense actually, because i believe when people rich, they can hide their face from everyone including internet, because i know in the fact there is some rich people that very good hidding their face, we can't even search their pic in the internet.
* The most ilogical thing is actually also wrote by Joyce Chan too. How come Wen family didn't have any clue about Yuan Si Ya (SY) as a twin. With their influence can't they search troughly before decided her as bride...?! Is yuan family that good they can even hide the truth that SY have twin sister... Come on...
* How come SY can't think when she ran away from her wedding, with her dad personality, that her dad will gonna search for her twin sister, Yuan Yue Yue (YY).
* How come it's so hard to said u are a twin... It's not ur fault to be a twin...
* How selfish actually SY... She promise to show up at certain date, and she still not show up, she still let YY to clean her messed. After that YY can just easily understand SY feeling & still not said the truth to Wen Jin Chen (JC). OMG if that me i can't simply accept that, even if she is my twin sister.
* All the family been resolved in the last episode... Haio... That complicated family problem just solved because the grandpa who want to died not died.
* JC don't go to singapore & decided in the blink of eyes that he will gonna believe YY's heart for him, without remember that he stay away from YY because he think his brother love her... Very fickle & very easy decision to change like that, really just in the blink of eyes in the car...
* Why nobody can say to JC that YY in fact is a twin after they break up because very ridiculous misunderstanding.... Not even Wen Liang Ye (LY) nor Pei Xiu Zhe (XZ)
* XZ tell JC's grandpa without thinking he will implicate YY, he just want revenge to SY. Omg what he think, the one will gonna join the wen family is YY not SY, of course it will gonna implicate YY more than SY. And after find out he just instantly feel terrible.
* Why LY not just let XZ meet with SY. Why he must pretend the boyfriend is not him. What's the benefit for him. If only they can meet once to resolve his feeling toward her isn't it that better...

Actually i think there are many more ilogical thing. But i'll stop write here. The list above is the one that most irritate me.

What i really like:
+ YY don't fall into despiration after break up. She gets up & even open restaurant. Yeah life must go on even after u break up.
+ They show us ups & down of the restaurant

What could be better:
* The reveal of YY as SY twin sister really could be better. It's really like anti dramatic, just like something not important. It's supposed to be one of the most important thing in the drama.
* I want to see their kids in the end :(

Overall this is the drama to be enjoy because it's funny & fluffy . I really enjoy the ride & the opening song is one of the most easy listening song...

something weird

Watching this while waiting the drama that I want to watch to be completed. You can say I find pearl in the ocean drama. This drama quite refreshing & definitely something worth watching for.

This drama talk about something that ominous for some people. Coroner, or talking about death. Like in this drama several times talked about, job related to death sometimes is ominous for Asia people.

Although this drama mostly about death & cases surround it, this drama still can bring us funny scene that makes us laugh & a little bit romance between our main and second lead.

What I like:
+ The relationship between the couple. I can't say the chemistry between Su Xiao Tong & Wang Zi Qi is really top notch what so ever, but still ok i guess. What i like is the growth relationship between them and how they trust & dependent toward each other.
+ Jing Yi is a very cunning & funny man, my fav character in this drama.

Ok lets talk about what I think is weird in here:
- Every thing only revolve around Xiao Jin Yu (JY). Everyone seem put their trust 100% with him, & listen to all his plan.
- The way they bring the bad guy to the light is so weird & too fast in my opinion. Much better if he still in the dark & it came out as a surprise for us in the end of the series. Because the bad guy is really someone we never gonna guess I think.
- Duke Cheng try to usurp the throne without soldier at all, just with several bandit that he fools to follow his word & hopping with killing the emperor automatically make him the emperor... OMG one of the worst plot to usurp the throne.

Overall this like I said in the beginning, refreshing & worth watching for. Even with all the weird thing I write I still happy they make this drama & I can watch this.

Friendship

This is one good drama that not focus on romance, but more about friendship, family & goal.

Here we have Nan Xiang Wan (XW) who is more mature & have a clear goal in her head, Lin Xiao Ran (XR) who is like a leader for his friend. We also have Liu Yu Bai (YB) & Chen Shi Yun (SY) who have communication problem with their dad.

XW is like a little tornado for her friend. Her focus & determination in study at first make all of her classmate sick, but eventually she became example and goal for her friend. At first she only care about herself & her university goals, but eventually she start to care and pull all of her classmate to became better with her.

What attract XR & YB to XW first is her mature demeanor than girls at her age. Yeah sometimes boy like more mature girl. But what i like at first i think the writer intent to make XR & YB into love rival. But somehow along the way they change their mind & (in my opinion) make YB more like admire XW than like her. If XR & YB really became love rival, so funny than it means Wang Run Ze already lose twice to Edward Lai in the drama, first was in 'A Little Thing Called First Love' drama.

What i really like in this drama:
+ No need for love rival. Yeah in life we not always find love rival
+ Childhood friend is really childhood friend without really need develop feeling for each other or even just one that develop feeling for another.
+ Another proof that man & woman can be friend, real friend. Like the relationship between XW & YB or XR & SY, friendship to the end.
+ The friendship and solidarity in their class.
+ Wang lao shi is really good & suitable for them. He is so funny sometimes.
+ The growth relationship between XR & XW really smooth & make us feel the warm. Really like how they support each other, even though sometimes it's so stupid.

Sometimes after watched drama about student in china that about having collage entrance or high school last test i really wonder how heavy the burden actually are for the children there.... Until all the teacher & parent think the student having relationship will gonna disturb their study.... Yes maybe having relationship can disturb study but can be also like encouragement in some way, like make them want to go to the same school with their partner, or just to encourage their study, etc...

But actually i kinda confuse because of the ending, the ending for me make me a little bit confuse to apart the reality and the 'dream' that XW had. However i really like how this drama wrap.

Overall i really like this drama. But i don't think i like to re-watch.

Neighbour is family

Never expected i'll gonna like this drama. But so far i love every work of Seven Tan, this drama is no exception.

This drama is about family, life & maturity of every cast. This drama start when they still in the high school. This drama devided into 3 part: the high school time to university when they just learn how to be adult, after university to work time when they became mature & really put themselves into society & last is the ending of mayang street.

This is the first time i have difficulty to decided which one is our male lead, is it Ou Xiao Jian or Yi Dong Dong. But after finished watching i feel Yi Dong Dong (DD) is our main lead, after all he is the one that get the girl ^_^, our narator & the last strike is from the last episode where its from his point of view.

Not much drama these days about this kind of relationship. I'm talking about making the neighbourhood is your family. People this days prefer individuality & stay far away from your neighbour as far as we could. This kind of neighbourhood really makes me miss my childhood where i still play with neighbour kids every afternoon. This closed kind of neighbourhood there is good & bad, the goods of course really make our neighbour as our family where every problem is like our family problem & the bad of course, what people this days prefer to stay away, make every family news into gossip for the whole neighbourhood.

This drama not only about 1 family but the whole neighbourhood with every family with each problem. There is Ma family where father have health problem & mother have to support family, in here we can see how a man pride distrub & how he in the end resolve this pride problem. There is Sun family where the wife is like fire cracker, which every little thing without further investigation can became big thing. There is Liang family where husband most of the time is not at home, how he finaly relize what's important in his life after Ma Xiao Xiao (XX) dad became sick & how in the end the wife have problem with zheng how who is her daughter in laws, love how this mother-daughter in laws problem not only surface but also we given clue about what the core problem.

In this drama we also can see sometimes in chinese culture being the oldest kids in the family is also meaning burden. Like XX & DD how they end up have to take care or at least think about their family before think about themselves.

Now we talk about our main lead & their friends...
° Zeng Hang (ZH) is one of the most hidebound or petty in the drama I've watched so far. He insisted XX like the way he want even though XX clearly not like him, i really want to kick his butt & throw him into river.
° Ou Xiao Jian (XJ) is so stupid. He can choose to quit the job before it's too complicated & imply him too deep, i talk about before he go to jail & his boss from the police give him a way out, but he insisted to continue because stupid reason & finally he is too deep. In here I really agreed with ZH who said if he can't give XX happiness he should give up. Yeah i know maybe at that time XJ really think he can quit and break away from his past, but as we can see when once you join the gang & want to quit is never that easy.
° Yi Dong Dong (DD) is maybe like Sun Zhui said, is one of the most soft & most tough person. Yeah sometimes we can't choose who we will gonna fall in love into & the one DD feel is one the most tiring kind of love, where the girl u love already love someone else but you just can't give up the love you feel. Sometimes with this kinda love we just fool ourselves that we happy as long as she is happy.
° Ma Xiao Xiao (XX) is like the mother figure for all their friend. I like to see her with XJ, they just cherish every moment together, how happy she is when she is with XJ & how she just plainly & stupidly just trust XJ. But I also like how in the end she decided to end the relationship with XJ. When reality hit us we need to wake from the dream. XJ is one complicated man with so much mystery, when XX said she was tired we really feel she finaly give up, if it was me i already give up long before that.
° Liang Xiao Bao (XB) & Zeng Hao (ZH) relationship is maybe our dream relationship. They know each other from childhood & finally became husband & wife. XB is like prince charming who is willing to sacrifice every thing just to be with ZH & very pampered her even after married. But so funny how in the end he is like his dad who like to run away from home when there is problem between his mom & his wife, apple really fall not far from the tree ^_^.

There is only several think that i thing missing from this drama. First is the farewell party for the whole neighbourhood when they leave the neighbourhood, not make the drama bad it's just better when there is farewell party. Second, i really hope there is the wedding for XX & DD.

Overall i really like this drama. This drama plot is not the usual plot. But i really like how the drama wrap. It's just give the fair ending for XX, DD & XJ. Actually if the ending turn out XX became together with XJ i think it's a little bit unfair for DD, because XJ & XX split up is purely because the stupidness & stubbornness of XJ. But i don't think i'll gonna re-watch this drama

Just because the main lead

Highly anticipated drama that come out after zhao li ying gave birth only like this... I'm quite disappointed. This drama only got point because of the main lead is zhao li ying & wang yi bo. If not them i don't think this drama will gonna have this high rating.

The plot itself for me quite boring. More episode toward the ending more bored i got. Several first episode still quite interesting. But for me this drama get downhill after xie yun (XY) wake up from his comma. It don't get the romance that i'll hope gonna take uphill. & the story itself really like stretch to the point i can't take it anymore and just watch it really fast, just to know what the treasure about & will XY actually cured or not, they just stretch the story for so long, the pace getting slower and slower, so many unnecessary scene & dialogue... Maybe if they shorten the episode it will gonna more interesting.

Many scene or plot that doesn't make sense. The biggest one is why the anping troops must be exist... They are former dynasty troops while XY the one supposed to be the king not even interested to be the king. So what the use of anping troops, they said to protect the people, from what....??? I don't think the people suffer in the current dynasty. If there is war that because of them don't want to give up. See... Really makes no sense right for them to exist in the first place...

The character the most interesting is only XY & Yang Jin 'the bonehead'. I have to give applause to Wang Yi Bo, he really nailed his character. But for Zhao Li Ying... I quite bored with her character always stiff like this & this is not even the best. Their chemistry itself... I only get the sense it's only until friendship level not lover.

So overall i quite disappointed with this drama. Just watch this if you the fans of the actor, not because of the story.

Dream or real

Simple drama about life. Everybody here write about plot holes. For me what they think as a plot hole i see as 1 big confusing plot in the end. After all how can we understand the nature work of 'GOD' work with time and everything ^_^. Maybe if they make drama from this movie, everything will be more elaborate.

Ok. Agreed with anomoly. The pacing is a little bit quick, but however this is movie not drama, Li Yu Ran so quick to adapt with her situation & make everything seem easy and came naturally. Yeah there's been confusing in the first day of her 'awaken' that quite funny actually. Love how she still have her nature habits as a lawyer when she have to deal with her daughter incident.

Sometimes in Chinese drama I think no matter how small they have to put a little bit karma in every drama. Like here. It's like Li Yu Ran got instant karma, she have to hear the exact word that she said in her earlier case (Rape case) said to her face. She finally got the feeling of the mother of the girl.

Ok now we talk about that confusing plot.
1. Why they don't erase her memory. When she just wake up as 'the mom', or when she wake up as 'the lawyer.'
2. Why all of Zhang Tao family be gone... Ok a little bit imagination here. If we want to make a line to the end, does it because actually Zhang Tao family could be her family in the future... Or maybe all of this only dream... :P It could be.... ^_^

This drama will gonna be perfect if only like the Zhang Tao family were not vanish, but simply just didn't recognize her. But overall I still enjoy this movie.

First of all i want to say the writer quite clever in write this drama, they always hang the story in the middle of the episode so we will continue watch this till the end. ^_^

Yeah even though the title state insect detective, this drama not all about insect, but yeah there will be insect in every case in this drama. Not every episode, just every case.

The plot from the first to the end all connected into one big secret. This drama all about: consequences for your action, secret will eat you out fast or later, karma will come now or later. Apart from that, this drama is also about friendship & family.

This is quite serious drama, so romance is not so much, but yeah they still give us some romance. This drama is for you who just bored with romance drama, but also looked for something not too heavy. Overall I quite enjoy this drama. Re-watch...? Nah... One time is enough

Watch this because I watched the scene where they're entering the school. There are the sun, ice & very long robe & hair bangs ^_^. Really eye catching. Unfortunately it's stop at that time only... :(

But unfortunately I'm quite disappointed with the story. For me this movie contain to much message in one movie, it's better in drama format than in movie format, cause of course the duration is longer so what they want to tell us is more elaborate.

What this movie want to achieve for me still big question mark. Are they want this movie about someone who used to be bullied can became special because of fashion... Or about fashion itself can make someone be special... Really hope this is in drama not in movie.

What are lack:
* Woo Gi Myeong (GM) instantly change from loser into someone popular in his new school. People who used to be bullied can't be instantly became confidant in one day. Even after they show the clip where he was bullied, GM didn't even flinch his eye, he just casually help his friend who stand up for him. & after that he just decided to enter fashion competition.... Makes no sense at all. If in the drama, we can see his fight & what became his decision to change.
* Kim Won Ho (WH). The family problem never explained or even solved, we just know he has issue with his father. Never explained why exactly he instantly hate GM, just because he is new boy in school who instantly popular & go after his girl... Not clear.

Finally i gave in and watched this drama. Yeah finally i understand with all the fans excitement with the relationship between song2 couple ^_^. The chemistry between them is really good & instant if i may say. Unfortunately the real relationship between them is not work out in the end.

In this drama you can see 2 problem in the relationship. First of course our main couple problem, where you must deal with military man in special force which they can just not coming back from mission with no explanation. The second problem is the pride between couple, problem like Seo Dae Yeong and Yoon Myung Ju or Song Sang Hyeon and Ha Ja Ae.

What i really like apart from thr cast: especially because they keep it short with no much drama & the problem we can relate to.

Kinda like the ending where there is volcano eruption but the urk team are still remain calm.

For this kind of genre this drama kinda boring in a way. Very slow paced drama & not really interesting in someway.

Like KimberlyAmor, i also almost give up but because KimberlyAmor say 20ep up will gonna lit up i wait & watch. But in the end i still don't get it's charm. But because i already watch until 20ep why don't i just finished it... Not just KimberlyAmor, me too also have some scene where i don't understand.

The plot actually kinda good, with adding the serial killer in the middle. And the growth relationship between the couple i think not so fast but sure & steady. But i don't know why this drama not really get the intense they supposed to... I don't think it's because the actor too... Just idk...

I have to compare it to the first season with all that charming actor to know the different ^_^

Not ordinary princess

I watched this because Mike Angelo, watched him in delicious destiny make me want to watched another drama by him.

This drama itself for me it's quite refreshing, funny & not typical cinderella plot where the male lead (ML) rich & female lead (FL) poor, here opposite from it where the ML ordinary while the FL is rich.

What i like:
- They have prologue every episode where there is story of disney princess with a little twist ;)
- Even though the FL is rich & spoiled, she's still not a spoiled brat who every single request must be fullfil, she still have her own 'badass' attitude.

What weird:
- The ML lead 'phobia' of hugging just suddenly disappear in the end.

Character here i really sometimes pissed me of is Yu Yang Yang (YY). She's just makes me want to slap her. As a woman she just play pitty, because she basically the only one here that is not rich. She's sometimes also a two-faced girl. I really like when Lin Xing Chen (XC) said to her: "don't play your immature trick on me again because i don't care..." Really badass right... ^_^

I sometimes really want to slap Zheng Chu Yao (CY) too. Some man like play hate trick when they like a woman. But it's supposed there is limit how far you play that trick. And for me what CY did to XC a little bit too far. But at the end he's kinda sweet with XC. Thank GOD in the end he still not forced himself to XC.

Overall this drama is OK... Funny, refreshing. But not really re-watched material
