Beautiful Story and Good Chemistry

Watching Novoland: Pearl Eclipse, it was like falling asleep and having a very long dream.

I watched Haishi's growth from a child to a person of great responsibility. Her life experience was not an easy journey. Her encounter with Fang Jianming not only changed her, it changed Jianming as well. Relationships that change each other to be a better person.

Ti Lan and Di Xu were originally stubborn and hurtful to each other, but who would have thought that they would support each other? Even when they finally live and die together, their story is too beautiful but painful to watch.

Zhe Liu and Fang Zhuoying started things off in silence, supporting calmly, even though things weren't easy for them with each other.

Well, there is no perfect ending, but this ending is probably the best. Watch Pearl Eclipse makes me feel like I'm dreaming of a place where magic is real and the beauty of love is believable. Now the dream is over and it's time to wake up again. May you experience the beauty of their story and have sweet dreams too.

“在另一个世界，他们一定着很幸福的生活。”

(In another world, they must have a very happy life. )

Beautiful Story and Beautiful Chemistry

I have read the novel and really like it. So when it was made into two different dramas, I was already very excited. In the book, their past story has too many plot holes, in drama, all these plot holes are well covered. Thumbs up!

The chemistry between Zhou Sheng Chen and Cui Shi Yi is adorable! Likewise the chemistry between Zhou Sheng Chen and all his students. The interaction between them made me feel like they were a family. And so cute too! Shi Yi was treated like a princess in the Xiao Nangchen Prince's residence, and was very protected. Make them look solid. It's a shame it's the plot demands that make their story sad. This makes their future (next drama) worth watching.

I feel so sad 'cause I know they will be separated by the plot and torn apart, even though I already know from the start how this story would end.

I like how their life end after the story, how about you?

Lin Ru Lan's story was sad and painful throughout the drama, also for Meng Wan and many other girls who became Wu Lian's victims. Wu Lian can still walk around freely in most of the drama too, which really makes me angry. When Wu Lian got his own karma, I was the one who was happy about it, even until the end of his life I was still less willing because he only experienced a little of what all the girls faced, who had to endure guilt and shame throughout their lives.

The plot does take us to see Wu Lian's past and the "reason" why he acted so evilly, but I still couldn't feel sympathy for him. Having a bad past is not an excuse for him to hurt other people.

Apart from the ending of the drama which was satisfying for me, I liked the special episode (eps 25), because we were told what the life story of all the characters in this drama would be, if all these events had not happened. How Wu Lian chose to stay on the right track. Meng Wan and Lin Ru Lan didn't know each other, and the others also had a good life too, only they didn't know each other. I'm satisfied with the special episode!

Even though this drama is emotional, there are many scenes that are more or less related to women's lives, both in that era and now. Hopefully no one will ever experience something like Faithful 九义人.

Heartwarming Story

At first I didn't have too much hope for this drama, because a typical police drama that I like usually involves complicated criminals, much different from this drama which involves the "ordinary" police (but trying to be a great policeman). But after I saw a few episodes, I immediately liked it! No regrets watching this drama, the plot is not dragging at all and the chemistry also good. Even though without romance in here.

It told that the police are also ordinary people who have weaknesses, but what they do is the best they can for the community, as a form of responsibility to the country.

I love the plot, and while there scenes that are funny, what I like is the scenes where it can be so heartwarming. I love this drama!

I heard that this drama is in talks for S2, I hope it happens.

Must Watch Series!

If you like revenge drama, with more intrique and dark past, you must see this series.

When I first decided to watch, I didn't have any expectations, but in one night, I watched up to episode 6! Wow! Not expected at all.

The acting of the cast is very convincing and got me carried away in the story. As someone who plays two characters (as Kate & Prae), Mook Worranit Thawornwong can be as convincing as two different woman. A gentle Prae with a sad ending, and Kate with a stronger and more vengeful personality.

As each scene is watched, I can't wait to see if Kate can bring down the powerful and rampant Akharaphaisansakul family. Vee himself still acts like two double agents. So which side is he on? Waiting for the last two episodes next week!

ETA. It's worth to see!

Have a Good OST

The reason why I watched this drama was because Luo Yun Xi was in the cast's list, and I would feel guilty if I didn't watch his act, even if I can't finished it. I also want to give Cheng Xiao a chance, after watching her dramas so many times and none of them were satisfactory.

But again I was let down.

Maybe I set my standards too high, but the only thing that's nice to see (or listen) in this drama is the OST, even that isn't strong enough to leave an impression. Too bad. In the synopsis the plot looks promising, and I imagine how complicated the tug of war between the two main castings is, until finally little by little the grudge between them is unraveled. Instead of seeing this, from the first few episodes, it was known that Female Lead only misunderstood and accused Man Lead. Then Man Lead's uncle who knows everything about his nephew is too unreasonable. Plus Second Man is too shrewd to beat Man Lead. I finished this drama, but I skipped far more than I watched.

Looks like I won't be seeing another CX drama again, rather than being disappointed again. Poor LYX, he was dragged down because of the disproportionate acting.

Btw, Chestnut looks so cute~! I love him more than another cast in this drama. Hahaha.

Beautiful Chemistry, Lovely Couple

I have to admit that the ending of this drama a bit disappointed to me, but since the middle of the story, I've been expecting this kind of ending. In fact, I was hoping for a sad ending. Even so, the Bai-Hei Fengxi couple was adorable from the beginning to ending, and even if they had a bad ending, they would at least spend 10 years together happily, and who knows if they would find a solution to prolong Hei Fengxi's life?

I'm in love with the original soundtrack of this drama, even now I still enjoy the strains of the song, and make me remember all the excited scenes of our two leads. Ugh, I don't want this drama to end~ I don't know how the story is in the novel version, but I can quite accept the ending of this drama.

Funny and Entertain

Aku memang sudah sejak lama menunggu drama ini ditayangkan. Sayangnya drama ini ditayangkan hampir berbarengan dengan Love is Sweet yang juga diperankan oleh Bai Lu, aku sempat agak bias di bagian awal drama ini. Itu sebabnya aku menunggu agak lama sebelum mulai menonton.

Satu hal yang aku suka dari drama ini adalah kesempatan melihat Leon Lai menjadi male lead! Setelah sekian lama muncul sebagai support role, akhirnya dia berkesempatan mendapatkan peran sebagai male lead. Aktingnya boleh juga sebagai pemeran utama, hanya saja entah kenapa aku merasa dia lebih cocok sebagai antagonis. Hanya pendapat pribadi saja.

Untuk Bai Lu, tidak perlu disanksikan, aktingnya ciamik seperti biasanya! Fang Yilun juga memberikan akting yang mempesona, meski aku kecewa karena akhirnya tidak begitu baik untuk perannya. Yah, sebagai second male, takdirnya adalah salah satu takdir terburuk.

Buat ceritanya sendiri cukup entertain untukku, dan di banyak bagian memancing tawa banget~! Adegan romantis juga ada, tetapi tidak banyak dibandingkan dengan bagian yang menggelitiknya. Aku cukup suka, karena drama lain yang sedang aku lihat terlalu banyak adegan gula-gula, aku tidak mau melihat terlalu banyak di drama ini. Buat politiknya sendiri tidak terlalu rumit tetapi entah kenapa aku membutuhkan lebih banyak karma di sini. Hahaha. Rasanya kurang setimpal dengan semua kejahatan yang dilakukan oleh Prime Minister selama ini. Alasan yang menjadikan dia membunuh master Aoyi juga kurang digali lebih dalam.

But overall aku cukup suka dengan drama ini. Menanti drama-drama lain dari para castingnya. Ciao!

Kisah yang Indah

Salah satu Thai drama pertama yang aku lihat. Tidak persis yang pertama, tetapi drama inilah yang kemudian membuatku mulai mencari drama-drama lain yang diperankan oleh kedua pemeran utamanya. Sudah sempat mendapat rekomendasi dari beberapa orang, tetapi tidak pernah aku lihat karena aku lebih banyak menonton C-drama. Jadi ketika aku mulai menonton drama ini, AKU SUKA BANGET!

Konsep mengenai BALAS DENDAM biasa memang lebih menarik buatku, juga tentang REINKARNASI, dan drama-drama Thai memiliki banyak yang konsepnya seperti ini. Salah satunya drama ini.

Chemistry antara Mark Prin dan Yaya, serta semua pemeran-pemerannya yang lain terasa pas dengan porsinya masing-masing, namun yang paling utama di mataku adalah plot dan ceritanya, khususnya untuk dua pemeran utama. Saling tarik ulur, dendam dan pembalasan antara Thit dan Jee, menarik untuk diikuti dari awal sampai akhir.

Thit bersumpah akan menyakiti Jee karena gadis itulah yang membuat tunangannya meninggal. Sementara Jee merasa bersalah akan kejadian itu dan berusaha menebus kesalahannya. Itu membuatnya selalu melindungi Thit. Lambat laun benih-benih cinta muncul, membuat Thit terbagi antara balas dendam dan rasa cinta.

Lagu-lagu yang digunakan di dalam drama ini juga pas banget! Aku masih suka mengulang menonton drama dan mendengarkan lagunya hanya untuk temu kangen dengan kisah ini. Aku merekomendasikan buat kamu melihat drama ini!

Beautiful Chemistry, Good Story

From the first time I watched this drama, I instantly fell in love with the plot. The concept where the girl haven't long live, while the guy have a long live, made me think that it would end up sad for both of them, but that's exactly what I love about this drama!

The two main characters have a good chemistry and it makes me happy to see the two of them interact to each other, as well as the supporting players who add to the fun while watching this drama. Sometimes I forget that the female lead still have a sad ending.

Overall, I really enjoyed the story, and I'm looking forward to more episodes to see.

Beautiful Story, Cute Chemistry

Like I expected before, this drama is so beautiful!

Zhousheng Chen and Shi Yi once again got a second chance and this time they were not limited by status and situation. They can relate to each other and not hide their feelings for each other. Once again they get a second chance, although it's not like in the book Shi Yi doesn't remember their past, but everything else is still in line with the novel.
But behind Zhousheng Chen's family relationship lies a big secret that could harm Shi Yi. However, Shi Yi was not easily frightened by the pressure from the Xiao Chen family.
The people around the two of them were also adorable, one of them was Lin Shu! The words Zhousheng Chen and Shi Yi said were also like the ones that came to my mind while watching. They are so cute and adorable!

I also like the original soundtrack, it really explains the story. Must watch!

Painful, but beautiful

I've read some part of the book that was the source of the adaptation to this drama, so at first I expected too much, although I understand that I might be disappointed.

As far as I've finished this drama, I'm disappointed with what happened to Mowan's soul. Because she was fainted for 36 episodes, but in the end she only wake up to die protecting her sister. Why not just stay like in the book? At least it won't feel wasted like this.

Or maybe it was on purpose so that Ye Junqing wouldn't have to choose between Mowan or Moxin?

The story itself is quite painful, but still beautiful. Ultimately it's all about Moxin. How she made the wrong choice in the past, and justifies her choice in the present, while finding her true love. Even though I'm still sad about the real Mowan's fate, it feels unfair for her.

Cute Female Lead

Aku menyukai storyline-nya, dan sejauh ini cukup menarik. Hanya saja alurnya cenderung agak lambat buatku yang menyukai alur cepat. Tetapi aku mengapresiasi karena di dalam drama ini diceritakan female lead justru suka dan jatuh cinta dengan second male dulu, bahkan mereka sempat berkencan! Aku agak jarang melihat drama yang female lead-nya justru berkencan dengan second male, sementara male lead-nya justru ditinggalkan begitu saja, dengan perasaan perih-perih gimana. Karena kalau pun second male sempat memiliki female lead, biasanya diceritakan dalam bentuk masa lalu, yang mana terasa kurang cukup buatku.

Tetapi karena sudah melihat beberapa spoiler, aku jadi tahu kalau nanti si second male akan meninggalkan female lead, dan male lead-lah yang memberikan pelabuhan. Huhuhu. Jadi tidak sabar melihat kapan adegan itu terjadi. Aku masih di paruh awal dari drama ini.

Lagu soundtrack-nya juga menggemaskan! Aku suka.

Sayangnya entah kenapa aku masih merasa image Alan Yu sebagai seorang pemimpin dunia persilatan terasa kurang pas. Image dia lebih seperti seorang pelajar daripada seorang pemimpin.

Aku berharap semakin bertambah jumlah episode, drama ini akan semakin menarik.

Not My Cup of Tea

I don't understand. If it wasn't I want to watch Wang Yibo and Zhang Huiwen's acting, I wouldn't have watched this much. The story and plot don't improve at all since the beginning. Too dragging and boring for me.

But what bothered me the most was the character of Fei who was too Mary Sue. She wasn't perfect at the beginning of the story, but under the big names of her grandfather and mother made her get all kinds of convenience. Everything seemed to be held on the red carpet just for her.

I decided to stop watch and continue with another drama. Sorry Yibo, even seeing your acting can't make me continue.

NB. There was nothing wrong with Zhao Liying's acting, only the script and the story not my cup of tea.
