Macchiette & co.

Mi spiace ma non riesco proprio a guardarlo. Non capisco tutto l'entusiasmo che gira intorno a questo titolo, a meno che non sia per quella che per il momento è la futura relazione tra i protagonisti. Arrivata quasi alla fine del terzo episodio ne ho avuto abbastanza. Il poliziotto è un personaggio insopportabile, tutta la stazione di polizia lascia alquanto a desiderare. Dalla parte dei malviventi, l'algido protagonista è bellissimo ma, per dirla tutta, non mi attizza per nulla. Soprattutto, dopo aver visto diversi altri titoli ambientati nella malavita, sono ormai stufa di questo approccio così macchiettistico, che non rende giustizia al genere. Mi domando dove sia, se ne esiste uno, un BL con un'ambientazione non dico impeccabile, ma almeno un po' credibile. Purtroppo il poliziotto scemo invece di risa, mi suscita una profonda irritazione. So di andare controcorrente ma non posso farci nulla. Magari affronterò nuovamente questo titolo più avanti e potrei anche cambiare idea, come già mi è capitato in passato. Per il momento parto per altri lidi.
Lascio una sufficienza perché mi rendo conto di aver abbandonato molto all'inizio.

Ignore the insensible plot elements and you'll love it!

First episode is aestheically gorgeous. ML is at his adorable best! FL maturity shines. 2nd MLs are so suited to their roles.
But I haven't given a ten because there are parts of the story that don't make sense....for example, her first meeting with him is over a fox fur sold by her evil 'step-mother'---she demands it back even though he paid for it. And she wants it back to sell it.....huh? why is he at fault? And then there's the confrontation in the Pleasure House--would he really accept his wife berating him in public? Then, there's the giving away "ALL" their fortune because they can't get licenses to sell, but yet she turns around and easily opens a new business...with what funds? how did she get that license so easily? Then, there's her mission to gather provisions across the country---isn't the whole reason their own province has inadequate provisions because the other provinces don't/won't sell their own precious supplies? Yet, she has the funds and resources and successfully obtains 2/3 of what she needs?
I haven't yet gotten to the end, but ignore these gaffs in the storyline and enjoy.

Zhao yi qin

He is super sexy. I recommend this drama to everyone just because of zhao yi qin. I already watched his drama MY GIRL. it is a big hit of this year. I already watched his another drama My Youth. He was damn sexy there. HE IS A GREAT ABILITY OF ONSCREEN KISSING. HE IS DAMN GOOD IN KISSING. He is so good in every drama. He is more suitable for modern dramas than historical dramas. He is so sweet. The story of sweet sweet has a great meaning. He is damn good in acting. I think he shoukd do more and more main leads. He is internationally quite famous. Not just in china even he has a lot of fans in india also

I like the story flow. Leading lady pursues what she really wants and learns to love herself. This is I think the first drama that I have watched the leading man gradually fall in love with the leading lady and he was not the first love of the girl. (Oopss is that spoiler? sorry). I love the cast!!! Leading lady is cute and the leading man is ssssoooooo handsome!!! Like God why on earth you created us unequally??? I think I would be gay for him ahaha!!! I only gave 9/10 for their acting not because they are not good but they still have some room for improvement. :) For the song of the drama, hhhmmmm, I kind of doesn't notice much coz I am busy giggling over the cuteness of the couple my gahd!!! If your a Filipino you would understand this: Sobrang kinikilig ako!!!!! ahaha

Great premise, but the execution was a snoozer

It begins with the leads experiencing a tragic fate, but are somehow transported back to the past to live a do over. The FL returns to her younger self just in time to witness the betrayal that destroyed her parents marriage, precipitated her mother’s death and brought about her “wicked” step mother. The conflict that this situation could’ve created was resolved before it could ramp up. After which, the story slowed to a crawl. The series spends quite a bit of time on the day to day monotony of the FL building her business and the ML’s military excursions, but nothing that was building towards an intriguing story thread for the series. I gave this 5 episodes , but just could not get into it because the story wasn’t really moving forward at a reasonable pace.

On a shallow note the ML looked great with long salt and pepper hair, mostly salt. 😂. And the snow covered sets were very well done. The leads had so so chemistry. They need more time together to potentially warm up and mesh. Perhaps that happened in a later episode after I dropped the show. The acting was good, but the actors weren't all that charismatic, which I'm guessing contributed to the show being difficult to enjoy. If the actors were interesting, it would've certainly made it easier to continue watching even with the story barely progressing. Anyway, if you have the patience to sit through several episodes of some world building, while the general story comes together at a snails pace, then you may enjoy this. If you are someone who likes to see where the story is going and actions to support that story thread within the first episode or two, this show may not be for you.

Who is the female lead and why is she so bad?

Carlos Chan is good/decent as always and the rest of the cast seem OK as well. The story is kinda interesting. BUT, and this is a big BUT for me, wow, who decided that the female lead was ready for a starring role in a POLICE drama no less is clearly high on drugs. TVB probably doesn't have the highest quality stable of actors left, but wow, she takes the cake. She completely overacts (it's cringey to see her reaction to someone dying). She literally looks like someone who is in an acting class with the professor telling them how to emote. And also, watch her run. It's....ummmm...unique? I normally wouldn't make such comments, but it stretches credibility that she's this amazing, hardcore police officer when she runs like a chicken flapping its wings....in slow motion. I hope the story takes off soon or it's donezo for me just simply because of the horrific actress.

Don’t watch

I was shocked to see the drama thinking it’s good after watching eating as 8.4. Which fool did the rating. The female character cannot act. She looks extremely dumb and annoying . Male character can act. It’s low budget drama. I could only stand first episode and dropped it. Why do people even release such dum drama. Now days there r so many low budget drama that are doing fairly well. We don’t want big budget drama. We audience are happy with light n fluffy drama. But this drama is like so bad that the background looks so bad. Even if the budget is low it’s fine but ur making a drama at least respect audience who will be watching don’t make it look so pathetic.

An Empty vessel

This drama could have been better but it’s just boring and blah. There is no story here. Yes there are many dramas about th couple fall in love but they had substance. This one not so much. The ML is far too good to be cast in this drama and all the FL does is smile and eat. They both just smile at each other and talk about mundane stuff . How much can you watch this for 33 episodes. There is nothing going on there. The FL is a woman child and there is nothing interesting about her. The ML is too mature for her - there is absolutely no character development nothing. Just weightless fluff. I usually don’t dig such stories and I am officially done

Well i'm still watching in the middle of it - i i'm bored as hell and super confused the only bright side is Aaron
the female leads are annoying as hell - Alice plot is very confusing , the the other female lead she acting is lacking perhaps it's because she's opposite of Aaron since he was so good in this it makes all the rest looks just average. Lisa character is just amazing. Tracy's character is just a waste how much go around and around about her loving JC seriously no woman is that stupid when it comes to a guy ... i feel the name of the drama doesn't really make sense since Alice is not really the main character....
stay tune!

Inguardabile!

Malgrado le ottime recensioni che ho letto e che mi hanno invogliato a guardare questo drama, anche grazie ad Allen Ren, non riesco ad andare oltre la ottava puntata a causa della stupidità della protagonista, una attrice con la faccia da coniglio che interpreta un personaggio stupido.
Al momento lei è inutile a lui, pare essere una grande investigatrice, ma lui arriva sempre prima di lei, quindi non gli è utile, malgrado questo la vuole con sè per seguire un caso da risolvere. Lei è arrogante e superficiale, con espressioni che danno veramente fastidio. Occhi sbarrati, atteggiamenti forzati. veramente insopportabile.
Lui bellissimo, da come viene descritto è crudele e spietato, ma quando combatte perde più tempo a fare piroette che a dare di spada in modo efficace, infatti i suoi avversari scappano!
Non so come possa sopportare l'arroganza di lei che si prende libertà che nessun altro potrebbe! Va bene che si innamoreranno nel tempo ecc ecc.. ma non è veramente credibile.
Per cui ho lasciato questo drama perché se guardo un drama, questo mi deve coinvolgere e far suscitare emozioni piacevoli.
Non so se gli darò altre possibilità, il fastidio che provo è troppo!
