Only 10 episodes: it’s a Light Modern Story

Summary: although I’m not into singles just Living Together, this story is really about budding hot first phase of romance. To those who have been in toe-curling relationships or close to this. We’ll, my husband is like the guy in the story. He will love the earth during the first few years of our marriage and we did have 10 years of just-us then kids happened. Yeah, kids happened. Watch this just as you drink a fresh cup of coffee. Nothing too heavy. No one dies here, no revenge, no family conflicts. Same old chick flick with good tasteful romance bed scene. When you’ve had kids, those scenes are really not torrid.
This drama spans a 4-month love story. In reality, that’s a drop of water in a strong current of lets -always-work-it-out real life drama. So curl back and have low expectations.

Pros:
- I like the chemistry and intensity of their looks. The guy lacks passion in his kisses. I think the lady is ready to give her all compared to the guy. The guy wants to look good on the video during kissing scene. It’s not really a passionate kiss.
- light story. No revenge, no one dies
- it’s not creepy as some reviewers said. The guy is just passionate about the lady. When you are in that passionate stage, insecurities arise. Thats predictable light hearted romance drama.

Cons:
- the guy could be more passionate.

Action: Great Fighting Scene and storyline

Summary: I love a good love story but this barely has it. It made up with such moving plot and great action scenes. Computer graphics is very good. , better than Eternal love (miles of peach blossom)
Pro:
-moving story. I have watched more than 50 Chinese dramas and I was surprised this was also good.
- great fighting scene. The choreography was very good. I was surprised with such detail, even the best most watched shows like Eternal Love or Ashes of Love cannot compare to such good action scenes with some twist in type of swords etc. Princess agents has some goods action scenes but even that doesn’t compare with unpredictability of this one

Cons
Hoping for a comedy. Got an interestingly dark action show. Still good to watch , considering I’m NOT into action drama.

Mediocre Story, Acting is Ok

Summary: if you have watched many many and many more historical drama and you’d say the plot is alright because it’s the same old story re-mixed. who on earth reviewed this as 10? The last scene is like a remake of Ten Miles Peach Blossom. Watch it for the first 10 episodes for a light fun ride but don’t expect much. The first part is like Ashes of Lover and the apprenticeship part. General & I part of showing off the military base is here and all the actions, prince turned monk is also in another wuxia drama, controlling empress is also in another drama.

The main actress Bai Lu looked more in love in The Legends , less in love in The Arsenals and also mediocre in her subsequence love team-up. The main guy looks more manly now compared to his previous dramas .
Pro:
- some and barely there original plot. Mute part is somewhat a refreshing change. The disciple- mentor relationship has been on many dramas, not to mention general military dramas.
- still good acting. Barely any chemistry . Bai Lu’s eyes glowed in other older shows.

Cons:
- DUBBING VOICE . So similar to 10 miles peaches and other drama. Bailu ‘s strong voice has been tempered down with the dub. While good, it’s not great enough.
- same old story except for the mute part. Who reviewed this? Did someone pay them because the story is not very original.
- low budget. Repetitive costumes and same old places as other dramas.
Unbelievable part. Of course writers think we’re stupid that a powerful family will allow their daughter to sleepover without a chaperone. Stu-pi-d.

Complex & Super Intriguing

Summary: if you are looking for comedy drama (as I was) don’t bother watching this in YouTube. Don’t start or else you’ll be hooked. I’ve watched so many recent dramas of 2020s, from Fuyao to Eternal Love and all the blahs.
Recent drama delights you with breathtaking sceneries and kungfu dance. This Meteor Butterfly story is all about the story. It’s an intriguing story that borders to horror at times. I couldn’t believe that recycled same-old setting can render me to watch this whole drama. That’s how good the plot is. Just when you thought you’ve watched it all, you realize the old dramas are more realistic, more compelling, more human. This was aired 2010 . Most dramas around this period are very realistically painful in most areas. Overall, it was a very good story.

Pro:
-Great Casts. Expressions are amazing! Not overly done. Just right. The enemy guy has a gentle look but can change into a psycho.
-pro. Realistic. Nowadays, people shy away from rape and even a bare-skin one. It was done professionally, not with malicious intent to lure people.
-great psychology. The words and the whole drama gives you is a glimpse of reality of assassins. Princess Agents drama is about assassins but less depth compared to this one.
- Great twist and turn. nicely done.

Cons:
- I’m saddened by all the killings but it shows you how it’s done when warlords were out in the open.
- some scenes are bluff. The kung fu master is too fantastical. Fantasy.

Mediocre Acting for a Tragic Drama

Summary: just watch the first few episodes bec of its original lines . This is not a romantic lovely story. More tragedy really.

Pro:
- good casts but could be better
- many original plot . Watch till about 11th episode and enjoy.

Cons
- chemistry is just plain. The main actress is really cute and sweet but she lacks the toughness and can’t act on the most painful crying scenes. I wanna cry because she can’t cry well esp the last episode.
If you compare her with the actress in Princess Agents, you’ll get the feel why she’s not so great in this story. She doesn’t exude that tough persona. She’s great with the Pillow Book & ten miles of peach blossom kind of story. She’s not appropriate for tragedy
- the chemistry between main characters are so-so. Even with the rival is so-so.

Same Old Drama with good casts

Overview: I’ve watched many of the leading actors’ previous works and they’re very good at it. The chemistry is so-so and the feeling is like they’re friends. The guy did his acting well with introverted scientist feelings and the girl was said to be introverted as well but that’ll be too boring so they let her light up and be naughty. The overall theme is nothing new really. Same cliche just different people. The amazing reviews here must be rigged because I truly didn’t enjoy it. Too passive, too predictable. We’re rich, you’re poor. We’re Rich and grew up together so we have inside love turmoil. Inheritance same old battle. Why did I even bother?

The producers are probably trying to find a hit drama like Eternal Love 1 and 2. The setting is also redone over and over BUT great chemistry and story made up for it. You know it’s a cheesy drama but can’t help but be drawn.. sweet liar drama is also same old setting recycled all over but the chemistry is good.

This drama didn’t meet the chemistry standard of those two. It’s really a very friendly mood.

Pro:
- good acting by super Pro actors. Main guy did act like an awkward scientist but unbelievably castrated look. Really he doesn’t look too energized but more confused and awkward.
- predictable plot if you like predictable things

Cons
- the guy was castrated in his previous life so he doesn’t have the passion. Or maybe he is castrated naturally. By episode 15, I can’t find any intensity.
- same recycled setting. It must have been done in the same neighborhood. The guy’s mansion is something I’ve seen before in other dramas. The ‘owners’ looked uncomfortable sitting on the mansion chairs.
- sickness part takes like many many episodes. Same old scene, same old setting.

Light-hearted Drama

Based on my previous review of Season 2:
Summary: Like the story of the Romance between Rose and Tiger, this is a comedy fun ride. If you looking for a light drama. This is it. Start off with the Season 1 and download iQIYI . Reminds me of Oh my Emperor or Eternal Love 1 and 2.
Of course the best parts are always the first 15 episodes
Pro:
- Great Chemistry. The lady doesn’t kiss well but she has great chemistry with the main guy.
- Light-hearted drama. It’s cute and a fun ride.
- Some original plot

Cons:
- some scenes can get tedious, but main lead’s perkiness and aura fits just right.

low budget

Summary: if you have watched the top 10 historical dramas, then watching this will be a re-arranged same-old scenes of amnesia and power control.
What makes it poor quality are the main two actors. The chemistry is ok, and acting ok. There are many mishaps and nonsense.

Pro:
-love the emperor. Good acting
-good costumes,
okey but same old story line.
-the only original is main girl slept with the emperor twice in a lifetime.

Cons
-baby face not so good acting of the main guy
-main girl seems lame
-recycled location, recycled people. Seem low budget. The wedding was weird.
-same old plot, just re-arranged.

Could be better

Summary: loosen your high hopes. Watch the first 20 episodes then fast forward. Waste of time. With recycled setting. All blah blah with almost all predictable plot. I miss Princess Agents.

Pro:
-one of the best actions scenes. Very well though of.
-actress is a good one like in Princess Agents(not the best in playing out emotions)
- some good plot. Really generic when you think about it
- Good CG, even my old mom likes it

Cons
- lots of camera zoom and prolonged pauses. So boring
- unnecessary scenes like prolong chit chat of where is this and that.
-some recycled scenes that makes the adventure boring. They’re running in the same set.
- Recycled setting/CG
- zero zero chemistry. It’s all cutesy-pie, but it doesn’t pull you. The action scenes will pull you more.
- Gayish 3rd prince and the other guys who liked the lead actress seem gayish. They should get a more many demeanor to make it believable.
- Gayish type of scenes with the main actor and poison guy and many other scenes with main actor.
Makes one wonder who wrote this and directed this show.

Best until the 22nd Episodes

Summary: enjoy about the first 20 episodes. The plot has unique fresh take on face-change type of story. After that, it’s really the same predictable plot as before. Honestly, I prefer the antagonist passion with main lead. Overall, politics of the same old plot is on the last part.
Pro:
-some cool Fresh plots in the first few episodes.

Cons:
- the pairing is with a guy with a funny smirk with less passion in his eyes.
-main lady acts like a robot especially in the first 30 episodes. Someone must have told her not to tilt her head like a robot so I didn’t see anymore after some episodes.
- one of the drama that I wish the build up pf romance is with main actress and antagonist. Antagonist has more expression of passion. Then again, the main actress has a good poker face. She has less passion coming out of her so she is a good with an equally lukewarm guy.
-many fillers later on

First 20 episodes were ok. Fastforward

Summary: Scrap the chemistry between the main characters. They were good with their roles in a way, but zero zero, did I mention zero Chemistry. Watch it because it has ok story and good graphics.

PRO:
- I like the Seductress supporting role story. I fast forward just to watch her lovelife. Their expression seems more true and mischievous.
- it has good original plot in some parts
- very nice graphics. Seamless that earlier dramas
- episodes 1-20 is good then fast forward most by 31 because they’re all nonsense plot to spin and spin.

CONS
- the main actors chemistry is blah. Their eyes are not expressive enough. The main actress is pretty in a stoic FROZEN way. She should be the Frostbite lady instead of mother land. She lacks spirit. The main actor has good moves and okey expression.
- lots of filler and confusing add up to story just to prolong
- the dead are not dead. They always come back to re-fill roles. Same recycled actors really.

Adorable Acting

Summary: just like the romance of the rose & Tiger, this seems to be a low budget film , made to make viewers smile. It’s nothing out-of-this world. Most scenes are generic, same old thing romance in a video game mode so it’s meant for you not to take it seriously but enjoy the acting.

Pro:
- Great acting. I’ve watched many many dramas and this girl is in par with Bai Lu ( The Legends) and charisma of Princess Agents. The actors are good as well especially the two main guys. Not bad.
- Cute chemistry.
- some good lines and the plot is something different because it’s VR style. Still cute

Cons:
- same old pattern in romance. Predictable
- same fillers by 15th episodes. Supporting actors are so-so
