Gateway to Fallin in to C-drama RomCom.
Seriously, This was my gateway into the world of modern C-drama rom-coms.Great cast & chemistry and banter amongst besties, siblings and the many teams.
This is a great entrylevel Cdrama / modern rom com. Yes it is totaly watchable many times. I have rewatched it at leat 3 maybe 4 times. This is a rom/com while trying to figure life out and the exposing the pressures of online cyber fans and "real job" expectations.
Love the modern theme of egames, girl power, team equity, cyber bulling, fan loyalty, and more.

Modern K-inderella story.
Modern KinderellaThis was a bit bumpy to start, in establishing the FL and ML and controlling mom / chairwoman charater / plots in the first 2 episodes. But our established team of sibbling supports continued to grow and enrich the show with every episode. I truly found myself replaying many scenes through out the series for both laughs and cries. Especially the antics of the Cheibol brothers. *Love the older brother & Sister-In_Law.
I love that our Cheibol (ML) stayed true to his charater, love and dream for her & him.
I found it enjoyable to see our Cinderella (FL) discovers her self-value and pushes ahead towards her Love... (eventualy).
She does have a lot of past trauma to heal from... but thankful to how the director & Screen writer delt with that part for her charater. Not as much PTSD to destroy the key charaters.
Definietly worth a watch or binge if you have time for 10 episodes.
Love the supporting siblings and sibling rivalry mixed in too! <3

Dusk Love, Female Designer CEO & Contract fiance secret CEO love.
24 short mini-episodes,Dai Goa Zhen (ML) & An Yong Chang (FL) create good chemistry even in the shortened episodes. The plot sequence is a little tropey with hero & damsel in corporate world of secret idedntity, highschool sweethearts, reconnecttion. But I did enjoy wathcing Dai Goa Zhen in this charater. I hope to see DGZ and AYC have chance to work in longer more developed screen time.

My Demon. My review.
Soo Good. Loved every episode.It is a somewhat unique story line of fated Loves and the trials faced to be together all interlaced with a few mysteries from past and present for our characters.
The whole cast is amazing from main leads to our villian(s) to the supporting charaters. The visuals of Song Kang & Kim You-Hung are well matched in every scene. Amazing soundtrack!

Great story of finding ones way in life and love. : )
Overall good story line and character arcs.Really great growth in the charaters and story line. Not overwelming with the common romance tropes. WinWin as YanYue (ML) and He HongShan as An Ran (FL) really do match well for charisma and strengths. WinWin really masters expressive thoughtful gestures and quiet love while He HongShan is succesful in portraying a young woman who is just trying to push through and build a place for herself & team in the business world.
And I really have to say that they manged to build the suspense of who and why the anatgonist is for challenging our leads. I like that everything is resolved in the end in a credible and pleasant means.

Mystery intrigue : Cons make better detectives.
Mystery intrigue... with Wang Zi Qi and Zhang Yu Xi.An Intersting new tale of detective & cold case mistery mixed in with childhood friends meet fated love. A great lighthearted watch with cute cast in a play with story within story script. Don't underestimated their ability to portray emotions, and tap the literary "4th wall". So many good scenes, imagery, symbolism, and lines of wisdom from our teams. And a hidden gem perfomances from Liu Zhe Hui (because everyone needs a best tech support wingman) and He Peng ("super hero idol in disguise).
Creative guides Director: Zhong Qing and Screenwriter: Xu Meng s.

First Impression.
First impression (8 episodes in..) I have just started in on this series of 40 episodes.Initial set up for cdrama historical detective court love story.
I do find the first few episodes a bit long in establishing the charaters nad trying to keep track of all the parties for future reference will be challenging. I am eager to see hoe much then continue to uncover of the childhood connections with each episode. I feel it would be sweeter to see more of why the FL is so open minded and trusting towards the ML.
Ryan Ding has matured so much into this charater, I Love it. Cant wait to see more of his signature facial geestures.
