Best drama of 2020

If you haven't watched this drama, what are you waiting for? This series was definitely one of the most complete and entertaining series I've ever watched. There are no plot holes whatsoever. Normally the drama in which the main lead enters in the world of story, the ending becomes very confusing. There are many things not explained and it becomes hard to imagine. But the flow of this drama was awesome. The ending was not at all confusing, every character had a justified ending and there were no plot holes. Talking about the main leads. Marcus Chang's acting is awesome. He looks so handsome like its unreal. Vivian Sung did a fantastic job with her role. Honestly, the casting was perfect. Everyone was a great actor. The chemistry between the main leads is over the roof. It's awesome like there are no words to explain. OST of the series is also very good. Each and every song has a deep meaning and they are totally related with the series. Honestly this drama is one of the best. Go watch it!!!

Full of romance

Ok as first i really love it becoz this one have lot s of romance. Main coupl chemistry is good.. its not story tht has too much things but just simple love story tht make you feel good ❤️❤️ but as for ending i dont like one thing tht is when tian sixng remember about sithu aoran and come to xiao en tht part is bit out for me what i mean is tht part should be very touchy but i am not feel like tht. And there are one more thing i dont like that is thire wedding 2nd time, they should have gather frnds at least chun tian.. they just got married and things hpnd i dont like it that way.. other parts is ok actually i feel very happy when quing feng had happy ending.. but i feel bit sad becoz he is only a book character while all other charaters stay in real world too ?
When i compair thaiwan and korean dramas lot of thaiwan dramas has lot of love seens than korean dramas.. and although it has bad peopl in the end drama not let us to hate them.. few dramas is ok with tht but few i dont like to forgive the bad one..

As for characters and acting it all ok actually firstly i hate he ming li but in the end it changed.. and i never hate tian jian not in the book or real life.. mostly in real life he is not bad guy when tian xing fell he even try to save him but becoz of his sister he push tian xing.. every other characters build well.. actually i really like xiao an and chun tian s friendship. I wanted frnd like that.. i feel jelous too..

Overall good drama but i am not saying it is perfect one. Becoz it has some lost point like i play fast some of ming li , tan jian , uncl hu parts even i fast forwrd tht parts i never feel somthing missing.. tht is one of lost point in this drama.. other than if you want to relax your mind and if you love romnce this is for you..

Loved the FL and ML

I LOVED this drama, my first Taiwanese drama and I don't think I'd ever find another Taiwanese (Kdrama or Cdrama) drama as good as this one. It's a mixture of: W - Two Worlds and Extraordinary You.
What I loved about this drama is that the "dream" world was in fact real, at least to the ML and FL. Unlike many other shows where the other reality is only real to just the ML or FL, here it was real to them both, which is the most important aspect of the story.

There are essentially two romance stories in this drama between the main characters:
1) Book (dream) World: The story of how the Xiao'en and Aoran (book name of He Tian Xing) fall in love.
2) Reality (awake) World: The (much shorter) story of Xiao'en and He Tian Xing falling in love

I loved both love stories, but they were both very different. You'll understand just how different the book world and real world stories are when they collide and litterally break apart at episode 15. I preferred the real world Tian Xing over his book world counterpart. He was better in litterally every aspect and I wish we got to see more of him. Tian Xing himself said that he didn't like the person he was in the book world. I wish we had more episodes in the real world rather than the book world. There was also a lot more action and subplots in the real world story that I wanted the FL and ML to experience more of. Other than that, the story was PERFECT. I did have to skip some parts of the drama because the FL really made me cringe sometimes.

Another thing I have to mention is the CHEMISTRY between the FL and ML. It was SOOO good. I really want to see another drama with Vivian and Marcus as the main leads. I mean even before the two charecters met, you could see the chemistry. And when they were together, even when the characters hated each other, the chemistry was EVERYTHING.

Overflowing with sweet scenes and chemistry

Characters were great, the story was great, the romance was great. It may seem a bit slow in the first episode but once you get past them laying down the characterisation, the story really picks up, and becomeas a lot more fun and engaging.

I'm always a sucker for a story where someone is transported to another world/the past/into a book/etc and this was one of my favourite representations of that.

Also... the romance is just amazing. The lovey-dovey scenes are so good and even just the fun, f;ortatious banter is so good to watch! The chemistry between the two leads is undeniable and the second ML is also fantastic - and while I couldn't help wanting the ML and FL to end up together it was really hard not to root for our second leading man too!

Definitely worth a watch!

You need a little bit of patience

I was somewhat detached during the first half of the show. I couldn’t really get where those intense feelings were coming from – Situ Aoran liking Chuchu, Qing Feng liking Chuchu, Zheng Ziao En liking Situ Aoran and Chuchu as the supposed female lead which by the way did not strike me as such, to me she was the minor role who had the hots for the male lead while playing the innocent and turns evil. There is such a thing as playing your character well, I just really found her annoying in the novel and reality and I mean her, not just her character. Every time she comes on screen I wanted to scratch my monitor.

So anyways, I had to reset my mind to watch if from the perspective that it’s supposed to be a typical romance novel with typical characters, usual clichés with the audience jumping in the middle of the story and just accept the fact to take it as it is because there really is no reason to it. Okay fine.

It got better from episode 9, though that felt like forever because the episodes are about an hour long with lots of slo mo, replays and replays every time I think the show goes on commercial. On to the better part of the show….

No matter how evil He Mingli was I didn’t really hate her like the above, good that she turned good. Kelly Liao looks very classy and elegant, even when she was in the hospital.

Duan Mu Qing Feng happy that he finally gets his happy ending. First time I’ve seen Simon Lian in a drama, hope to see him in one where he gets the girl :-)

Vivian Sung is great going from one emotion to another.

Marcus Chang what can I say :-) He fits the role. I like his little expressions and when he smiles :-)

This drama is creative and I liked the ending.

One of my favorite dramas of all time

Seriously one of the best dramas out of all the asian dramas I've seen. Was close to dropping after watching the first episode (opening shower scene was a bit cheesy), but starting with episode 2 it just took off and had me hooked. Great storyline, wonderful acting. Appreciated how FL wasn't ditzy or flighty, communicates well, and there weren't any silly misunderstandings that served as the basis of all the conflict. Marcus Chang as the ML, granted was a stereotypical arrogant CEO role, but he played it really well and I liked how he treated his two characters slightly differently to show the difference between the book world and the "real" world. Justified my binge watching as "practicing my Mandarin." Loved all the music as well. A MUST WATCH.

Thoroughly enjoyed this ❤️ It was 'original' and thought provoking.

This was an awesome Mystery Romance, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Its not the normal trope of 'being transported into a novel' etcetera etcetera. It was 'original' and thought provoking. I couldn't stop at the end of an episode unless I was extremely tired and had to go to sleep.

When I was thinking of the rating for this series, I couldn't think of anything that I would have changed if I was the script writer, so I give it a 10/10.

The main characters were portrayed very well by the respective actors and I will see if there's other series's in which they are also the main leads.

Rewatch: Very likely as I really enjoyed it.

?What an entertaining drama!!!!?

I have to say that I’ve always avoided Taiwanese drama’s as they acting wasn’t on par or their dramas had too much noise on the background or the plot too thin.... But after I thought let me give this drama a small chance. Before I knew I was hooked and had to binge watch it. Although I’ve watched a lot of Kdramas and Cdrama, this story felt fresh, entertaining and you never knew exactly what’s gonna happen next. And the kiss scenes, hoo, don’t get me started on those. Everything about this drama felt well executed. I wouldn’t mind another Tdrama like it, lol ?

Well-balanced romance

The drama is slightly different from the fluffy romance I expected. But if you are doubting, just try it out. It surely focusses more on the romance but it is well-balanced by adding angsty 'spices' to the plot. The main couple made me super envious and their chemistry was great.
Marcus Chang is a total eye candy, but I have to thank this drama for introducing me to Simon Lian (total hottie that stole my heart). The drama adds depth and inner struggles of character (of course not all flawless).

Product placement of the diffusers were actually part of the story. Also witty were the few K-drama references.

Music is very repetitative and not perse to my liking.

Beautiful (Another one I'll be adding to my rewatch list)

First of all, what a gorgeous ensemble cast. This drama is especially a treat for all the romance readers out there. "We all have but one dream, to be sucked into the our favorite books."

Both the ML and FL did such a good job of portraying their characters. It was a bit draggy when the ML thought that everything was FL's fault, even when it didn't make sense. That lasted far too long for me. Apart from that their relationship was wow! Wow, as in, the chemistry between the two is just mind-blowing. When these two characters locked lips, sparks flew. All their intimate scenes were so well done.

SML was such a adorable and great guy. I was hoping to see his real-life counterpart once ML regained his memories, but that didn't happen. At least he got the happy ending he wanted.

Chuchu was one of the most annoying characters in here. Her one-dimensional character and childish voice just made it difficult to listen to her dialogues. (I also skipped most of the scenes with ML's family and their disputes over the company and fortunes, that part just wasn't fun for me.)

Despite that, this is pretty drama. No regrets on the time spent watching this.

Easily makes my Top Favorites!

Lost Romance was Everything! I more than Loved this show. This as to be one of my all time Favorites yet. It easily makes my Top favorite list. I also feel like it's so underrated, like how come no one is talking about this show??? It's laugh out loud funny, it's cheesy, it's swoon worthy and so heartfelt. For a book lover I was over the moon. Like this is every readers dream! Our FML is transported into her own fictional story and it's EVERYTHING!!! Gah, I was so hooked on this show. It's definitely different from normal romances, the transmigrating into a novel was so refreshing and exciting (it's also only for 3 months and then everyone is back in realtime) which was very unique. Our two male leads were so gorgeous and wonderful, I had such a hard time. I was seriously hung up on both of them, they both have a part of my heart. Our FML's BFF is freaking hilarious, and the situations that happen are just too much. I hurt so much the next day from laughing. I was also crying inside for our girl because she is seriously put through so much, my heart ached for her. I highly recommend this drama, it was like my favorite book coming to life. I can't believe how much it's slept on!!
