Note: I always rate dramas based on my enjoyment, I don't care about any those technical things etc.

When I watched the trailer I knew this would be one of those light dramas, and I was actually expecting a low budget production, and to my surprise this one was actually really well produced and frigging hilarious!! The location, outfit etc looked really well made, the actors acting were pretty good, nothing too cringey whatsoever. For the ost, music etc, they didn't really stick on my head, meaning they're just okay (nothing bad), unlike the usual distinguished music/ost in the blockbuster dramas.

Highly recommended if you're looking for a good laugh.

The last time I watched Chan's movie it was really horrible, I fell asleep during the playing!! However, since Ethan Juan is here and the CGI was looking pretty awesome, I finally decided to give this one a try. I would say though, the movie isn't the best, but it's really enjoyable. The CGI is really smooth and the shots are also pretty great. The actors however, I'm not really a big fan of their acting, especially the two lovers, not enough emotions. As for the ending, I didn't really expect much actually from Chinese movies/drama, they tend to have, you know a MEHH ending, but I think this one is okay.

PS: Can we talk about the costumes though, GORGEOUS as usual, great job China!!

I watched this on VIU by accident because I had nothing to watch, and I got HOOK from the first episode!! I like it when the guy character is goofy and silly while the girl is the serious type (and she's smart not like the typical K-drama I watched) I think they are a match made in heaven xD!!

So the story is about a famous acupuncture doctor from the past (I forgot which dynasty), he somehow had the ability to travel to the future or go back to the past but he has to be dead first to be able to travel.... In the future, he met a modern girl doctor who happened to have a bad experience with acupuncture treatment (her family actually ran an acupuncture clinic) so his interactions with the girl at the beginning didn't go so well. However, they slowly understand each other and even help each other in crisis and OF COURSE, they slowly started to develop feelings for each other!!! then as usual conflicts happened and you have to watch this to see watch happened!! LOL

Highly recommended!!

Before watching this, I already watched the Korean's version "Queen in Hyeon" and it's one of my favorites! Time travel dramas are also my favorite, so I always look for a new time-travel drama...  I really had high expectation for this one, because the K-version is one of my fave dramas. I was also really excited because the actor is from Love O2O movie while the girl is from Love O2O drama xD

Anyway!! The story as a whole I think it's about the same as the K-version... So basically, it's about a scholar/the queen's assistant from the past who received a pendant that has the power to bring him forward to the future to search for proofs to save his queen from false accusation?!? (I forgot, but I think they about to behead the queen)... In the future time, he met a rookie actress by accident #LOL and from here all the fun began!! In the beginning, the girl thought that he was crazy because he claimed to be from the past, but slowly she started to believe him and befriended him... and SLOWLY they both started to develop feelings for each other but conflicts happened in the future and past time!! Our main guy here uncertain which one to choose, go back to the past to save his queen or stay in the future with the girl he loves.

Oh and btw, every time he went back to the past and changed history, the memory of people from the future were shifted... WARNING!! There would be amnesia happenings here and there and you might shed tears!!

First of all, the idea of this drama was really creative and different, the actors were also really great (especially the main male character </3), the setting, the background everything was great. However, the plot though, it's really confusing. I'm not the type who will watch the entire episodes minutes by minutes, I would do a lot of skipping because I don't have enough patience, but still understand at least what was going on in the drama as a whole. This one though, I still don't understand the main plot or how the webtoon's author had the power to enter the webtoon's world he created. I asked my friends (they also said they don't understand too) who also watched this and even google it, and I still don't understand. I think it's such a pity because maybe if they simplified the conflict a little bit it would be more enjoyable? What do you guys think?

Would I rewatch this? Maybe, but solely because of the actor LOL he's soo handsome </3

I was watching this purely because of Zhang Ruo Yun and thinking that this is gonna be one of those dramas with unclear plots and bad actings (you know the usual low budget Cdrama) but I actually really surprised when I watched the first episode!! This drama is actually pretty legit!! Okay, it's not as good as Sherlock, but it's actually really fun and interesting to watch, there are new crimes to solve in every episode and I actually really like the fact that there was no romance here.

You guys should give this a try!! I swear you won't regret it.

PS: I don't usually re-watch a drama (except Ten Miles of Peach Blossom LOL , so I rated it pretty low.

This drama is pretty great, but I feel like there are too many unnecessary plots. Also, I think the main couple of this drama broke up way too often. I mean, come on!! Everytime there they face a problem they would just decide to broke up thinking that it was the best for their partner without even discuss it with each other!! What kind of couple are they?!? The plot twist I also think is pretty ridiculous, why? because people kept on blaming someone who in my opinion didn't have anything to do with for an accident that happened unexpectedly. I'll give you an example, the girl blamed the guy for her dad's death because when they broke up she called her dad which made her dad hurried back home and died in a traffic accident. WTH?! Nevertheless... still a happy ending though.

Acting wise, however, the actors they did a great job describing each character. Especially Xiao Huo, I feel really bad for him and wishing him a happy ending with a great woman (he sacrificed way too much for the main girl, it made my heart hurt T.T)!!

I heard that this one was inspired from "My Love From Another Star" I noticed the similarities but they are both unique. This drama supposed to be a romantic comedy but I don't really feel the chemistry and romance between the two main characters. The actor is Korean and because of that they put some dubbing and the lips gesture doesn't really match and it feels really weird. Maybe if they just cast a Chinese actor it would be better and their interaction would be more natural?  I am not really sure. Nevertheless, the ending is so disappointing they could have made it better!

Btw the girl here I found really hilarious just like the K-version and she's told as an actress!! So I think you guys can give it a try!!

I seriously hope they would make the second season!! #pray

The story is really creative, it reminded me of an anime called Sword Art Online somehow, maybe because they filmed it as if they actually enter the game world for real!! When the guy (I forgot his name so I would just call him the guy)  said he was preparing for his wedding was really cute as if he would be married in real life, it was just a game bruh LOL!! This drama is actually the first Chinese drama I watched after a very long time, and it got me completely HOOKED again!! and now I gotta find similar dramas to this one ASAP T.T

I have no complaint about this drama except that maybe if they can find a better actress for the main girl?? I don't dislike her, don't get me wrong it just that her acting was pretty stiff and seemed a little bit forced here :((  BUT still highly recommended!!

This drama was SO GOOD! It's funny it's cute and made my heart feel so much emotion! I honestly wish that Kdrama would reduce the conflict scenes (the office talk if you know what I mean) and focus more on the growth of the two main characters instead? So there would be more romance OH MY THAT DEFINITELY WOULD BE SO AWESOME!

MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILER AFTER THIS!

By the way, I think Min Kyu's disease was a little weird. So when the first time Ji-Ah touched him, his illness recurred but then when he touched her and thought that she was a robot nothing happened?! Even though at that time he hadn't has any feelings for her yet, and the fact that the filmmaker decided to cure his illness by "having someone special/connecting whatever" I was like WTH?!?!! I think it would be better if they just made Ji-Ah special from the beginning and that's why his illness didn't recur when he touched her instead of him having some connections with her (is that make sense?)

Nevertheless, highly recommended cause IT'S SO CUTE!

It's entertaining, but it's not gonna WOW you whatsoever... I think if you're planning to watch something quick and light this might be the one for you!! As I've already read plenty of romance Japanese manga, I didn't have high expectations as they most likely, you know,  just the typical clumsy girl or damsel in distress paired with a super hot popular dude at school...

I think the actors did OK... but please don't compare Japanese's dramas to Korean's!! Because I feel like Japanese's they always try to make it as similar as possible to the original stories, and since they're usually based on famous manga they tend to exaggerate their expressions (maybe you can read some manga after this just to check if I was right xD) Oh and FYI if you didn't know, this one also based on famous manga with the same title :D

Nevertheless, this one is great to binge watch!! Especially if you're in "too lazy to think" condition!! Recommended...

NB: Sorry if I made grammar mistakes T.T

SPOILER ALERT!!
I watched this solely because of the hot blue-eyed emperor LOL. I read many reviews about this being really good and I thought it only has 29 episodes so maybe I should give it a try. Honestly, I skipped a lot of episodes because I don't like the girl and others scenes that I think are really boring or ununderstandable. I forced myself to watch until episode 15 mainly because of the hot emperor (couldn't seem to take my eye off) and I really wanted to know HIS ending. I was hoping so badly that he would eventually get his wings and the girl would become his Empress and remains supposedly "goddess?!?" instead of just wandering together. I get the impression that without the goddess mark on her she is just too plain, annoying and troublesome (maybe I just don't understand her? I don't know) compared to the Emperor character.

For the cast though, I am definitely not complaining about the Emperor (not trying to be biased here, maybe a little LOL) I think he did a great job portraying the character with many insecurities beneath his ruthless exterior, but deep down he is a really caring person. I think his character is so cute with all of those nonsenses he said when what he really meant was something totally different (I guess he's just shy xD). However, the girl character I feel like she's lacking in development and I  tried so bad to like her but I just couldn't. She kept on bring troubles everywhere she goes I swear! and that pained the Emperor which pained me!!

Maybe if the actress did a little bit better the character might be better too? I am not really sure. I guess I would recommend this for everyone else seems to like it just fine :D

I found this movie by accident because I had nothing to watch, and what can I say? I really like this! I also read the manga version, the ending on the movie is so much better! I don't want to spoiler anyone but for those who read the manga and get disappointed, I highly recommend you to watch this one!

If I'm not mistaken It's about a genius fashion designer who stumbled upon a pretty girl who he sees as "diamond in the rough" but her mother didn't support her to be a model because her mother thinks it didn't have a nice career or something like that. Afterward, there is romance happening, the girl's mother started to support her and so on.

The background, the clothes and everything in this movie are so on point! I remembered wanting to have a basement that looks like their "nest", SO GORGEOUS!

I watched this one a long time ago when I was so much younger, and I remember liking this quite a lot. However, now that I think about it the story is quite depressing? I'm not really sure what word to describe it, but I feel like it kinda gives the audience a little bit of pressure about nowadays standards of beauty and how appearances matter a lot. The movie nevertheless is really entertaining and you can definitely watch this when you want to watch something light to binge. If I'm not mistaken it's about a fat girl who wants to be a singer but her appearance prevent her to, so instead she became the "ghost" singer who sings for the supposedly "singer" behind the stage. Then the "singer" and her liking the same guy but ended up being disgraced in front of everyone and finally decided to have a full plastic surgery and become the goddess-like kinda of girl. The rest you can watch for yourself LOL.
