A Bad Psychiatrist
The storyline has quite a few holes and the stupidity of the psychiatrist makes it more unbelievable. I think the chemistry is good between the leads actors. There are times the humor makes me LOL, but as intelligent as the FL starts out in the drama, it's disconcerting to watch her dumb down. The brother has been obvious in his feelings for the FL and she should have shut that down from the beginning. Not enough questions have been asked by FL to treat her patients and to be so dim witted is offensive to females and to psychiatry. This is the lowest I have given any drama. Since there is not any new dramas lately, I will paddle through by just watching a couple at a time and shut it down. It is dragging out way too long.Was this review helpful to you?
Best Drama This Year
This drama is certainly worth every episode....it could have had more! I am sad it is over and will think of it often. The ML/FL were totally believable in whichever relationship they were in. I laughed, I cried and the memories of my childhood until marriage rolled around in my head. I never dated a guy from my school, but had plenty of male friends that I could equate on the same level as their friendship. Sigh.....I will miss this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Li Tong Guang
To me, he has become quite interesting. Being Ren Xin's only disciple and teetering between boyhood and becoming a man, his acting is superb and spot on. I don't have to mention the main cast because we all think they are excellent. I really feel Li Tong's despair and I have teared up almost every time he has. Obsessive love has to be a difficult emotion to manage. Great job! This drama has gotten better with almost every episode. I still have 26 episodes to go and I hope it stays on the same feel all the way through.Was this review helpful to you?
Good drama
I think this is a great drama and really don't understand the low ratings given. The ML has never looked as handsome as he appears in this drama. His acting is good, but he always acts his part well. The FL is cute as a button and her expressive face tells more than her words. I like the CP between them.Was this review helpful to you?
Gotta Love This Crew
I have read some scathing reviews on other sites which baffles me. Thank goodness this was not like Joy To Life S2 which was not to my liking. I didn't finish that drama, but I am very happy with this one. I am glad it is not exactly the same vibe as S1. It's a little darker. The tears have fallen on the last two episodes I've watched. I still have Ep. 22 to 25 to go. I am all in on this story and will hate to see it end. I wish Jianci had been in more episodes. I think brother got way obsessed and I actually found myself hating him and filled with disgust. Zhang Wan Yi is a great actor. His eyes show a lot of emotion. Everyone acted great. In a few months I will watch both seasons again.Was this review helpful to you?
A Hot Mess
The drama was not what I expected. It was ok up until Episode 31 when all the bizarre killings began. I didn't get why the one male character kept blaming the sect leader about the 9 people that were killed when the drama began. After talking about the the treasure through the whole drama, there was no clear sighting of what the treasure was. It was one heck of a downer at the end. Not one person ended up together and the story flatlined.Was this review helpful to you?

One Of The Best If 2024
I am all in with this drama. I see some people are disappointed because it has humor and wanted it to be dark the entire show. You HAVE to have the relief from the darkness to enjoy it when you are traveling through it. Genius director and script writer(s). Episode 9 had me so enthralled that I got irritated at my dog for wanting to go outside to relieve herself. Thankfully I can push pause and miss nothing. The title is misleading because I thought this was about vampires and almost didn't watch it. I can't rave about this drama too much. The guest actors are so great to watch. The leads and 2nd leads including the young boy, make this drama worth your time. I have laughed, I have cried and I want more episodes than just 2 per day. Don't miss this one.Was this review helpful to you?
Pretty Good Drama
My favorite actors in this drama are the Uncle and "over weight" sister, plus the cute as hell goose. They are the scene stealers every time they show up IMO. I laugh at their antics over to eat or not eat the goose. I wish their was a different FL and this would be a perfect drama. FL's acting has not improved and her monotone and baby talk words are ridiculous to listen to. I truly wish one of the hundreds of actresses that China has, a different one could have been chosen. Oh well, all the other characters are great.Was this review helpful to you?
Pretty Much Real To Life
This is a solid drama with great actors. I have laughed, cried and felt very uncomfortable at times. The lies and omission of telling partner their real thoughts, is my discomfort. Of course, when starting a relationship, omitting certain details are allowed. I can reflect on my past and realize I took the more difficult path just because coming clean is hard to admit. I will watch this to the endWas this review helpful to you?
Why From A Woman's PIV?
It actually makes all the males seem petty and old fashioned except Rose's dad. As I suddenly realized this, I felt sure the author was a woman. Yep, it is so. I love the story, but now I am even mad at Rose's brother. Rose's husband's mother was also written from a DIL POV. I think if the author had stepped back some, the story could have been stellar. I still have 14 episodes to go, and I am praying it quits being so one-sided. The early 2000's did not have the same male chauvinism as it did in the 1960's to 1970's. Surely China is not 20 to 40 years behind the times on women's roles in the family or their value to a family. But in any case, I love this drama and will gladly finish watching the 40 episodes.Added note: Lin Geng Xin is one of my faves. He is so convincing as a MCP that if he didn't have Shen Li drama under his belt, I would never watch him again. LOL, he is a great actor.

One of the Best Dramad
I have watched this drama 3 times since it aired. It never fails to make me LOL and bawls my eyes out. I put it in the category of all time greatest. From the smallest and youngest actors all the way up to the eldest actors, it's just a magical piece. It's a rare episode that nothing good or bad happens. You will love it from beginning to end. It made me wish I had "brothers of another mother" in my life. You just can't go wrong watching this drama.Was this review helpful to you?

Not A Fair Placement
I loved this reality show. I laughed and I cried. I could feel the connections between the boys and could feel they cared about each other. My gripe is going to be about Jo Minjae. He has the best singing voice of any on this show. He was never on a losing team, never got below 7th place, was a good dancer and unfortunately was the second one kicked off on the finale. If he would have been placed with the first group of boys for the finale show, he would have had a fairer shot at making the team. Two of the boys that made the team never even made it to the top 9 tier. I am very disappointed. Jo Minjae DESERVED to make the team. I was confident he would until I saw he had to be with the 2nd group. I am shaking my head at this bad decision. I pray one day soon someone will put some of the boys that didn't make it together and form their own team.Was this review helpful to you?
Microphone Mishap
This is not a terrible nor great drama. It is lower budget short story. The leads are good on CP and the rest of the crew does pretty good acting . I think someone didn't edit this film enough, or tired of editing by the 16th episode. At the 4:33 mark you will see the microphone come down over their heads. It happens again seconds later. If you have nothing else to watch you might get something from this drama. The story line is not real apparent on what is happening, but maybe that's the charm of this drama that kept me watching.Was this review helpful to you?
A Different Story...Exciting
I am loving this drama. The CP between the leads is apparent and I can't wait to see it full blown. I know they won't disappoint. The good and evil characters are all acting superbly. There hasn't been the usual over acting with this kind of story. I know the evil step-mother is about to get served what she obviously deserves. I am hoping for an unusual comeuppance whenever Karma is plated. I hope this drama stays on track and gets rave reviews.Was this review helpful to you?
