Santa Claus without a bicycle

All in all, a nice story, the opening scene with bicycle-pursuit is really Oscar-worthy. In general, the story follows this easy-going, often very funny introduction to the romance.

The only embarrassing and failed character is the ex-lover of FL, No Shi Hoon. This person is really a dubious egoistic character.

This unsympathetic character has been a real failure for the writers. I almost stopped the series because of this poser. That would have been a shame, because overall it was a very entertaining, often funny story.

Visually, I could hardly make out the age difference of the main couple. The FL seems young and attractive, the ML in turn sensible and detached. It fits! And friends, there are such couples in real life! I knew a happy old couple with an age difference of over 15 years! age difference.

Chen Shu as Divine Empres is worth watching

Some details I would like to note:
FL and ML are a beautiful couple. Unfortunately, an ethereal, anemic, downright plant-like couple. Any physical contact is obviously uncomfortable for them. Don't they want to take their beloved firmly in their arms for once, kiss and feel? At least after dramatic adventures, up to the point of being rescued from the dead? No, instead there are pious sayings and flowery confessions.

They gently breathe on each other in a weak voice, shyly tugging at each other, hardly daring to touch each other even lightly. Grabbing each other's hand are the highlights of the erotic excesses. Who is afraid of a little closeness here?

Of course: understandable is the defense against unwanted and encroaching touches, e.g. from strangers, or intrusive admirers. However, a loving couple does not seek closeness?

It is a pity for this sometimes exciting story, if one disregards the many immanent repetitions and illogical twists.

The bird is shot at the end:
The deep sorrow over QiuShan's death, the displays of affection by the hostile-to-touch FL for the fading criminal, was quite strange. He was a multiple murderer, high traitor and demon, and would have also killed the ML bestially if he had succeeded.

And in this constellation there was a triangular relationship between ML, FL and QiuShan. The "Pope" made fun of this during the final battle and recommended to continue the "love entanglement" of the three in the afterlife. Happy ending? In the end, FL and ML split up. Why? It's probably in the star chart why we wasted our time.

Only Chen Shu as Divine Empress, the incredibly beautiful, perfect and confident actress, is worth watching.

Nasty work of art with superfluous depictions of violence.

I would like to know the name of the unspeakable author, who is responsible for sadism, violence, torture, rape, psychological terror, especially at the end of the series. I would not have expected the Chinese Film Control to allow such filth.

The various cruelties took up a lot of space, and the filmmakers wallowed in detailed depictions. The bad guys almost always had a free hand, but the plot was anyway only the vehicle of the disturbed filmmakers for their favorite themes: Forced sex (in front of the tortured lover) violence, humiliation, poorly motivated mostly by jealousy.

The revenge on the villains are short and very mild for the misery they have caused. Instead, the heroine even skins her own breast as revenge on the chief criminal!
The wretched work torments us for four and a half (4.5) hours! But the revenge sequence lasts only two (2) minutes, which is filled with superfluous talk about childhood mistakes. Finally the end comes with a quick sword stroke, mercifully for the criminal.

You sick writers, hey director: what's wrong with you? Shouldn't you better get psychiatric treatment before you spout such filth?

Poor emotions from the freezer.

Quite without discussion of the whole misery here are some small remarks. Sorry for everything:

In a pub, Momono Nan insults Togawa, whom she barely knows, as an idiot and a fool. In episode 10, she insolently and impudently interferes in his private relationship affairs. Then she explains what he has done wrong.
Is it permissible in Japan to interfere in other people's affairs in such an insulting way and leave the restaurant without a black eye? Or is this the inspiration of incompetent writers? Here, in the West, at least many would advise her to mind her own business.
But the embarrassing relativization of the inexcusable impudence follows immediately, of course. All in good fun, right? And thanks for the fish.

Enough grumbling, by the way, I don't want to discourage anyone from watching a moderately exciting, often slow-motion film. The romances are also unexciting. Somehow the young people are always terribly sad and depressed. Have fun, one wants to shout at them, party, make love and let the good times roll!

And we learn that a disability, which is relatively easy to integrate into everyday life, seems to be a huge problem in Japan.

Were we allowed to see a piece of world improvement by two crazy female authors?

We see boring 30 episodes in which an older woman emotionally exploits a boy in order to break away from her domineering and abusive fiancé.
With the help of the handsome understanding boy, she achieves her goal. She makes a career instead of marriage.
On occasion, she sends away the badly in love, somewhat perplexed boy who expects a life perspective with her, on a job in far away province.
The plot is obfuscated by a lovey-dovey script to make this lousy piece of romance look nicer and smoother.
There is no one real ending, such as marriage. Of course, the wonder-woman YiKe probably wants to make other career leaps.

It's good to be king of your own little town

Yeah, the world would swing
Oh, if I were king

Have a good trip

This series was pleasingly nice and friendly. Adventurous, entertaining, creative, an exciting adventure and fantasy story. The main couple had a sweet love story from beginning to end, without triangle garbage and side-kick bullshit. Other interesting relationships developed as the story progressed.

So there are authors who are obviously creative enough to do without side-kicks as the driving force behind a story. Bravo for that!

The actors are great, I especially liked the bunny girl, whose background you can find out for yourself. But she's adorable. Only at the end there's that standard separation of the lovers again, obeying an unavoidable China story compulsion.

There is to be a Season 2, albeit without Wu Xuan Yi. This bunny is said not to have been good enough and another actress is said to have been chosen. I haven't found anything about a Season2. Does anyone know anything about it?

Some nice entertainment after a hard day's work? There you go, friends!

A nice series, exciting, thankfully without love triangle, with many quite funny little incidents. The beginning was perhaps a little bit boring.

Good action, good pace in each episode, only the rushed ending was a bit over the top. Individually, there were hardly any crooks to catch, despite a lot of clues/evidence, but all the bad guys at once? And the whole thing with the help of an intellectual low-water mark of a police officer, who knew only one suspect for 5 years: Healer!

But anyway: Happy ending, what more could you want, when the bad guys are after all of us!

PS.: Last but not least: Good actors.

Buy one get two

It started with a tremendous suspenseful opening and was quite watchable in the following until halfway through the show, despite all sorts of limitations. The bad guys were after the good guys, the good guys fought back valiantly, as it should be.

Then this story ended and a second, completely different one began. Why? Perhaps the author had a revival experience? Did God or the producer speak to her? No one knows why.

The vicious, even criminal actors purified themselves into good guys with whom one could fight together against the external enemy. There was forgiveness, cooperation and friendship that the rind cracks!

Some actors did a good job, but the women often have the voices of 11-year-olds and behave like 12-year-olds. On the other hand, the men are annoying with their protective and controlling behavior. Especially the FL's brother is a pitiful example of overbearing presumption.

I felt especially sorry for Zhao Li Ying, who is a high-profile actress. She had to act at a child's level here. It really hurt to have to see my porcelain girl act like that! Also her voice, miserably dubbed, was like that of Quitschi the rubber duck. Let's not even mention actresses like YaYi, my laptop can't take it.

Enough said about this attempt to fabricate a drama, greetings, friends of the night!

Women first, men come later.

Actually, I wanted to write a usual review, but soon it became clear that this is a poorly disguised women's film. This Romcom shows again the old wisdom of the Hopi Indians: "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle!

Although the insidious women's wars because of men everyone knows were fought here too, the author covers everything with women's solidarity. Any problem could probably have been solved immediately if the two girlfriends had married each other instead of competing for men. After all, the FL couldn't quite decide anyway!

Howling separation misery of the two women who will continue to live quite close to each other. A single tear for the beloved fiancé who had to go to America. The viewer would have been spared such misunderstandings, and much more, if women had married.

Also the corny brawn at the end, which was supposed to belatedly bring a romance back to memory.

A nasty review of the rookie race. Apologies. Plus spoiler.

The knobby little rookie Nami with the pancake face is confronted with the extraordinary appearance and great beauty of Reiko. This is all too much of a balancing act and completely off the mark. FL comes across as plain and provincial and is constantly played up against the wall.

In other contexts, Mone Kamishiraishi might be appropriate and cute, but in this role, set in the fashion world? Her rapid development is also implausible, for instance from shy country bumpkin to assertive employee without fear. I also couldn't follow her private priorities, which consisted of orienting herself in completely opposite ways. She is probably just opportunistic.

In the end, you just want to feel sorry for the writer, who somehow slipped on the keyboard.
But the actress Nanao is a beautiful discovery.

The term "tiger" is a synonym for "idiot". "Idiot and rose", is the author's intention?

I can only follow the enthusiastic comments here to a limited extent.

The underlying idea of the story is really good, but:
For many episodes we are tormented by by illogical, childish and destructive behavior of FL.
She almost shows a clinical picture of infantilism.
Her voice, habitus, behaviors, intellectual capacity are annoying and hardly bearable.

The most beautiful and capable woman of this show is second princess, who also loves the ML. But he doesn't want her because he loves the human squeaky duck. Chen Chu Chu is then also turned to evil because the poor story line wants that.

The screenwriter probably also finds it logical that after humiliations and rejections in many episodes by FL, the well-intentioned ML takes only seconds to forgive her when she regrets everything so very very much.

Many men are obviously in love with FL. But why? What about Cry-Baby is attractive?

And later she still hasn't learned anything. After the maximum shameful, unbelievable justified, betrayal of him, price question, how long does Miss QianQuian need for his forgiveness?

But what real man would ever trust his ex-lover again, who, in his darkest hour, is messing arond with his worst enemy, who, after humiliating treatment, sends him into exile in chains?

Teasing lovers do this to each other? It's Funny? Logical?

Towards the end it gets more and more stupid. Maybe the author shouldn't short-circuit her own relationship and gender issues into a show. Clumsy lecturing is not something I want to see in an entertainment film. Nor omni-potent heroines. First prize for this bullshit movie.

Partially funny story with manipulative child women!

A woman writes this drama, and of course then a woman is always the better half in a story. Surprise! That's why I would like to see more dramas written by men, or mixed teams.

Let's take an example: In F7 and F8, the FL provokes the ML with her flirting with Xiao Su, the emperor's spy. This Xiao puts himself over military orders in the military camp. Later he thinks he has uncovered a crime of the ML. Then he fights against ML's soldiers. All gripes in the toilet.
But FL defends Xiao and says to the horrified ML: "He (Xiao) is my man", nobody should touch him. This was almost a marriage vow in ancient China. The crowning glory was then the thing with the precious token. She looks like a lover and behaves like one at that moment. She doesn't need explanations.

Nevertheless, the ML has the ass card. He's stupid and of course got it all wrong. He has to take reproaches not only from the troublemaker Xiao Su. It needs an apology to the FL. And the tough soldier, this one-man slaughterhouse, has to give an embarrassing whimpering, screaming and crying performance. It sucks and is unbelievable! The following "resolution" then lacks any romance, one does not find redemption, but a formal explanatory text.

I cannot follow this: Why didn't FL have to justify her misunderstanding behavior to ML? Did she have a thing with Xiao? Didn't Xiao have to explain why he was spying? What is he doing in the camp anyway?

Overall, the story is riddled with little annoyances like this. But much of the rest is also very funny. And entertaining. Maybe just leave out the annoyances?
But the author sits at the longer writing instrument! And whether in China, or with us in the west, a woman writes of course annoyingly biased. Therefore: Goodbye and thanks for the fish!
