Determination

Okay I did not expect anything wonderful out of this drama, however, I did find myself skipping through some episodes and often fast forwarding a few times.

I love the ML which is probably the only reason I decided to watch it.

The story line was okay, in the sense that the FL was determined to prove her self in a all male working environment and to get a name for her self, the challenges she faced while trying to climbing the ladder. I did at times find that her mother was a bit to much and very pushy, having been a 33 year old and still trying to treat her as a child, and setting up dates etc. for her and just way to pushy for my liking, at the end of the day she was an adult and had the right to choose her own path. The romance was not a big factor for me, but there personal growth, on their life and work.

Dylan Wang finally got a role, where he shines! and shows brilliant acting skill. His expressions, liveliness is very natural as if it's not acting its real self.

Overall an inspirational drama.

Awesome

Wow this series was awesome.

I loved the ML probably the reason i watched after seeing him in word of honour 🎖. The story was well written and played out in line with no unnecessary drama or dialogue, the Second ML was an interesting story line although it felt he didn't put in much effort to discover the truth the of his mother before assuming it was Duke Su.

The romance between the general and xuer was sweet and cute and I loved the way she always stood by him and he by her, the scene i loved the most was the mistake at the the other Fu wedding 😆.

The ending did seem a bit rush but I'm glad for the happy ending, and although there were a few misunderstanding between the duke and fu rong they always found away back to each other.

Definitely worth another watch just to see ZZH who is super 🔥 in this series.

Utter madness....

Holy hell this bgame show was really madness!

Gambling with your life, killing friends, taking lives, all just for a dollars?

The games were utterly wild and there a couple of games i remembered playing but after watching this makes me see the games we played in a whole new light.

The show it self was really good and different, was enjoyable, the players and games were well set up.

A couple of surprises towards as too who the people were behind the masks.

The ending a bit of a disappointment, in the sense he played the game came out the winner and yet he lived his life unchanged, i get going through all of that will take it toll and you would probably need counselling after it, but i do feel he could have been a better person or helped the people he knew.

Overall not something i would re watch in a hurry. But definitely a good show

Lost in translation

This drama is kind of confusing in the sense that we started off really well, i mean i was hooked on the 1st episode! Then I am not sure what happened after that.

I get the synopsis of the story, the bad boy bullying the weak and cheesy high school possessiveness, but the same time it just felt like they were not communicating and just going with the flow, we then jump to what i assume is University and hira has meant someone they get caught by kiyoi and things explode up.

The characters were welln played and suited each other, the whole introvert against the popular bad boy, was a good match, if they only followed through with the story and made it a bit more easy to follow.

Overall it was definitely a good drama minus a few hick and jumping of time lines.

Unnecessary drama and disappointing.

I really wanted to watch this series as i am a big fan of the ML, but after 20 episodes, i just couldn't do it anymore.

the FL really annoyed me, I get the whole need to find her master killer and all, but the fact that she was so dense to the ML feelings, was just doing her own thing and never seeing the bigger picture was what really got me, there were times when the ML also just annoyed me, why the HELL couldn't he just admit his feeling for her, clearly he had them and went over backwards for her, this whole story was a just a backwards and forwards between trying to find out the truth not them fighting or misunderstanding of a case, and when they finally admitted to each other, she still went against him and insisted that the marriage was a fake, and yet not once did you hear that from the ML, she just kept insisting and pushing the man away.

What I did like was the bound between the brothers, they stood by each other and worked together, but never interfered, just helped and guided there way through a true brother hood, the other 2 FL that fell in love with the brothers, were by far better then the main FL, especially Xio Bao mother, she seemed to have a more put together self and everything she did was well thought out, even the older brother girl who knew she didn't want to be part of the palace help the older brother, and they were there for each other, again i felt her role was better played then the main FL.

I feel like the pacing is really weird with a lot of the important events happening in the background in favor of cheap plot twists. The mystery angle of this drama lacks buildup.

This whole series really lacked creativity and way to much unnecessary drama and dialogue.

The Bikes were amazing

I really liked this drama because of the bikes and the racing my only compliant about this whole drama was that the sound effects of the actually bikes and racing sounds ... for me that is the whole idea of illegally street racing and fast cars and bikes is the actually sound of those beasts !!!

So apart from that small sound issue, this drama was good ... it was done in two parts.

The first being payu/rain story ... which was really hot and good , there story unfolded really well and pacing was well set. When you get to EP 4 you might hold your breath, but EP 6 might have you calling emergency services.

The second being Pai and Sky - Know this story got me in a twist, as sky story had more demons in his closet then, the previous part. Although I like this story better mainly because of Pai, it was well paced and kept wanting to know what had happened to sky.

My only issue with the second part was the ending, was everything was revealed and then it felt rush between the two.

Overall: The drama was really nice and did'nt leave room for any thinking and like i said i did enjoy the bikes the most of this drama, accept for the sound effects which were really sad.

Enjoyable ....

I did really like this drama quite a bit ... Pam was relatable and donovan was hot !!!

Although donovan came across as hot mess ... he was really genuine in his feelings with pam you could see and feel the chemistry between them ... I love how pam handled situations, although i did a get a little frustrated when she always thought about the people around her and never about herself first ... I do respect elders views but they also need to respect boundaries and allow children to grow and make they own.

Jessica and Miss Da were a bit annoying and honestly it really showed how people with power and money can get away with everything... I was super happy when she had a nose broken and wanted to smash the screen when she returned... as for jessica she played her part well, in the sense of a being a really selfish bitch and always thinking of herself even though she always helps out in situation its never genuine there is always a catch with it ...

Overall: this drama was really sweet and kept you interested ... not to mention the hotness of DONOVAN

Action & Speed

This drama was really done, in terms of the action scenes and driving skills.

I Loved the Main Lead in this drama, which was why I probably this watch. I did get the Robert De Niro vibe from this, which was not so bad... Although dark, violent and gritty, it is also ADDICTIVE, COMPELLING and POIGNANT.

The story is basically around revenge seekers who cant get closure from a loved one killed or being bullied or a mishap taking place in either personal or work life, Every single member of team avengers carry their own chilling backstories - crimes committed against their loved ones where the perpetrators never truly received the punishment that they duly deserved.

I have truly enjoyed Lee Je Hoon’s performance here, in what is his best work to date, the team work and the way stand together is also a major plus in the drama, each of the characters have there own painful experience and story to share and of course the fight scenes and driving skills were really done well. Taxi Driver's message is that revenge is never the answer, and neither is locking up criminals and throwing away the key. karma always comes back to get you in the end.

As for the production -- well, a thousand and one kudos to the cast, the writer, the director, and production team of Taxi Drivers for a job beyond well done, but especially to Lee Je Hoon, this drama wouldn't have worked as well as it did without him.

Overall: A really good action drama which is a definite to watch!!

Not enough In-depth in the Story

This extremely short movie was not what had expected, first off it is literally 15 minutes so its one of those quick watches when you waiting at the train station or something!!

I personnel did not enjoy this, as i felt it left a lot of unanswered questions, and everything was just put together for the sake of it!!

It does explore the homophobia side of things, but again i think this short film could done better if was a more a series, or even a full length movie instead of the 15 minute that I witnessed.

There were some good points to this, as the couple were already in a relationship and how they came to there decision, instead of one making and the other ghosting, the growth of the mom and her acceptance of her sons choice.

But overall Nah this was way too short and it could have done better!!!

A Bit far fetched

This drama was consistent throughout as a light-hearted watch that never took itself seriously. The drama is mainly about a love triangle between a girl and two guys that are polar opposites of each other. For me this series lost the plot when the FL and the second ML were supposed to be brother and sister and yet the kissing scenes were by far better then the her and the actual ML.

The story was a little far fetched and often times I found myself asking what earth are they all fighting for and at least gathering around about, the Longevity flower and everyone wanting it cuz it gives them immortality. The pace can be very slow at times, to the extent that can feel like time has stood still. During such times, the camera tends to zoom onto the actors' faces, trying to capture their emotions. Qiu Yue's face is immaculate. He is so beautiful to look at, in black or white hair.

Overall: A teenish romance drama with strong leads but weak plot.

Love is really Sweet

Wow this series was totally amazing, and i just have to say that Luo Yunxi was supper HOT in this series. his whole character was played really and story flowed through really nicely, there was no dragging out and no unnecessary dialogue. There was also some really funny parts to this series, and lighthearted humor, RW role was played really well and having two serious good looking man on anyone screens is definitely worth watching.

I did enjoy the story as well and Bai Lu character was a very strong Female role, however she didn't come across as not what to beloved she had that faith in her and the Luo was exceptional in supporting and always being with her, there were times i did think she would go overboard and make him sweat for no reason but the two characters complimented each other.

What I liked most of this series was that the story unfolded and got straight to the point, there was no unnecessary drama, and everything happened as it should have.

A SERIES WELL WORTH WATCHING

Especially seeing LY in his racing gear and OMG in his suit and tux the man was HOT !!!!

Loved it and waited for this ...

I so enjoyed this drama, mainly because of xiao, Xiao Zhan is an incredible talent. Xiao Zhan is a consummate actor, able to play any role and become that character.

The overall story is solid and the chemistry between all characters is excellent, it's not just 2D between ML and FL so that's another really strong point about this drama that many other dramas lack... The different relationships between all the characters and their character growth. Loved Gen Qing, Chong Ming, & Yuan. Moral, character, scenery, music, costumes, art , excellent CGI and top class acting of the leads - this series had them all at highest level.

Respect to the Firefighters!!!

Firstly let me start by saying the I salute all firefighters, if they go by what i saw hats off to them.

I liked the series, mainly for Yang Yang, and he did look good in uniform.

I loved how the series just went straight into it, and they never dragged on the past, accept for a few back story line which they did jump too, but it was nice and short and they did not stay too long or dwell in the past.

The doctors were also played they part well, and they did make it look like they knew what they were doing in terms of the doctor roles, qin qin was a bit annoying in certain episodes, especially at the parts where she knew what her mother was doing was wrong, but she was too timid to say anything. Wow talk about a controlling parents, esp that mom, holy hell, she was something else, the 1 part that kind of hit nerve with me, was when her son got arrested and the comment or line she said, money can be everything or nothing can be resolved without a price, I guess for the super rich that would really be the case, and it does hit a nerve, watching a lot of rich people buy the way through life and have no sense of obligations for others.

The firefighters role was really pleasing to watch, and the training they have to endure, for risking there lives in order to save a stranger, who in the end will probably not be thankful. the scenes in which the firefighters showed cased were really good, and look realistic, I think the most heartwarming or tough episodes to watch was ep 39 when the typhoon hit, and it made more grateful then anything that my country does not see those kind of disasters.

Overall : This drama was really good and of course i love Yang yang, and he really good and well matched in this drama.
