a rollercoaster of events and too much unfolding...

IM SURPRISED THAT PEOPLE REALLY LIKED, I have a different opinion...
1) I was super excited to see both the female and male lead( as I like them both) but this pairing just doesnt work.
2) IF YOU ARE HERE FOR ROMANCE, YOU CAN SKIP THIS DRAMA! LITTLE TO NO ROMANCE AT ALL, not to mention that they leads have no chemistry what soever. Female lead is pretty and male lead is someone handsome but together, it doesnt work.
3) The setting and plot had a lot of potential but fell really short
4) the development of this story stop making much sense and just unraveled one thing after another.

Backstory: There are two types of group the people group and the one with some of power. The two group fight against each other. The male lead Lu Yan is human general and gets injured. Female lead is the goddess of the Ling( the ones with power. She ends up saving the male lead by taking her own ling power and giving it to male lead. THe female lead turned into a feather and the general is there to make sure the feather getse enough ling power for the female lead to come back out.

Fast forward.... Yu deng deng ( female lead now) is a bandit and awakens the general. Basically they try to get the ling power out of her. He marries her and encounters various things. Like the evil Ling general , who wants to kill the general to get the Ling power for himself.

Its a roller coaster of it being interesting and then boring... to finally stop watching it.. first it was the evil ling general, now somehow her evil sister/ inner self comes out... wtf... like can the story get any worst...

Insomniac princess who has a complicated background

I was freaking excited seeing the preview trailer, I waited so long for almost all eps to broadcast before i strated watching. To be quite honest the story line is a let down. I was mainly excited because there were a lot of cute scenes in this preview.

Characters-
Female lead- cute, quirky princess who can't sleep at night . When she was young, a rock that can tell the future went into her body. Thus making it hard for her to fall asleep at night, if she does fall asleep she'll either have dreams about the future, or she'll turn into an animal of the zodiac ( which for me was kinda weird)
Male lead is a guard in the palace . He is trying to find out happened to his elder brother who died in the palace. He doesn't trust the princess and her motives.
Second female lead - aka little b*tch , she likes the male lead and does things to get him to like her. initially she was trying to break up the male and female lead... but then afterwards she began friends with the princess. however the second female lead does something in the story that doesnt really make sense.. Which causes a rift in the female and male lead's relationship. ( that was when they were pretty much friends already...)
Princess' brother ( no blood relation) - He is very protective of his sister. Secretly he's in love with her. He's not a strongly developed character.
Third female - aka biggest b*tch... she comes in towards the later parts, and her story honestly is super annoying. Basically she is the slave of the male lead because he conquered her land. Turns out she is the princess in her land. She likes him and wants to marry male lead.

Storyline- To me the first 10 episodes i would summarize as getting married, the female lead trying to escape/ get a divorce, they argue, male lead is suspicious of her.The first 10 episodes was hard to get through... 11- 20ish episodes had more of the sweet and romantic development. I enjoyed that part of the drama.
Summary in shirt : She gets married, tries to get divorce papers/escapes, but always is forced to come back , finds out he's her insomnia medicine, fall in love, gets divorce , misunderstanding, wants to be together, evil female involvement, ... The storyline is not smooth and female lead has such a busy background/identity. It would of been so much better if the focus was on male lead being her insomnia medicine and her dreams help see into the future?

Romance; I love their chemistry and romance!!! Princess is shy to show her emotions and feelings nor is the male lead. I love them together and the time they spend together, love their kissing scenes. I just wish their relationship wasnt so bumpy like being together, getting apart, being together, getting apart....

only two more episodes left, so we'll see how it is.

Female lead studies fashion design others are jealous of her

With this drama being 45 episodes long I anticipated skipping many parts, which I did.Your average fashion genre drama. I really liked the female lead's bold, sunny and willing to stand up for herself personality. Also the relationship between the female lead and male lead absolutely stunning! ( first of all the Xu lu is so pretty) So much passionate and chemistry, totally here for the romance/relationship and would skip the rest of the dramatic people and annoying characters.

First part of the drama is when they first get to know each other and fall in love. This drama they didnt start out bickering but the male lead falling in love with female lead! but female lead then was going to Paris to study fashion design. A good chunk of the story revolves around Paris. I like the female lead's story in her process to become a fashion designer trying to help out her boyfriend aka male lead who owns a fashion company.

The cons about this drama is that it has too many unnecessary people love triangles and people that hate the female lead.
Annoying character #1
male lead's right hand partner which is a lady ( not sure to consider her the 2nd lead) SHe's like his childhood friend who works with him. She gets jealous of female lead)
more Annoying character#2 ( second male lead) He was always trying to bother the female lead and try to do stuff to show he's better than the male lead. lol he's a fly thats in her way.
Side character aka classmates of the female lead
1) classmate, always have been jealous of her. She is a model and always been a bad relationship
2) fashion classmate who was jealous of the female lead's talent. Use to be friends until the betrayal that sent female lead's design to the competing company.

Something positive! loved loved loved the female and male lead's relationship. There kisses seem very real and passionate. Like they are head over heels for each other, so sweet and super cute! loved it, if someone could just cut those scenes out and out it together that would be perfect!

Lacking in storyline and sweetness

For a drama than seems like a lot of potential, this failed. It's a rather dull watch, like nothing really stood out.

Male lead sometimes will experience times where he cannot speak. He finds out the only way for him to talk is eat the homemade ice cream of the female lead. However they start off on a wrong foot. She thinks he is a creeper/ pervert, but in reality he is just someone who flies drones and does studies/ test. The fact that he cant speaks doesnt help. Finally he discovers the ice cream and he somehow now can talk. Coincidentally they even become neighbors. Male lead invites her over to teach male lead how to make ice cream. He soon realizes that it doesnt work. He finally realizes that is has to be from the female lead. So she makes ice cream for him everyday.

The drama is only 22 episodes long! Didn't feel like there was much story development not to mention relationship development I like male lead ( the actor) but i felt they didnt even have an ounce of chemistry. The way that the leads interacted, i felt no chemistry so I wasnt as moved by the sudden kisses. Like the male lead randomly kisses her in occasions that make the female lead skip a heart beat.. but not me lol. Then after that their relationship becomes ambiguous, its not really clear whether they are together or now. Lol call me old school but there always need to be the part of confessing the love!!!!

This drama in between dramas to watch . To be nothing to special or eye catching, a little disappointing.

How many spies can you find?

damn ! I miss say that this drama got me sitting on the edge !

The male lead is mathematican, the Chinese government is trying to protect him at all cost because they are trying to make a submarine missile. The Taiwan people are against them, trying to get all their informations making their operation fail. The female lead is a police of the Chinese government. She is one badass cop , who is good at investigating and find information. The second female lead is a nurse.

Initially im thinking why is the Chinese government side always so slow in finding out the identities of the spies that the Taiwanese government sent. Literally so many spies and they are so slow to find the identities.

It mainly revolves around the mining field, the hospital, the police investigating , attempt tries at the submarine.

The later half is definitely better and filled with somethings i didnt expect.

The 2nd female lead's dad was one of my favorite characters, couldnt tell whether he was a good good or bad guy until the end. He really loved his daughter and wanted the best for his daughter.

No romance whatso ever, just flirting that it lol because this drama is not about romance. oddly enough it ends at 38 episodes... they should of have them get together, would of been nice.

Voice dubbing in an online drama meets real life

Didnt hold much expectation for this drama in the start because there were many voice dubbing dramas already and the kinda tired of the plot . This one was surprisingly good ! I really enjoyed it. This one was interesting in the sense that they had this online forum/ voice dubbing hangout spot online and voice dub a famous novel. The male and female lead would voice dub for the main characters in the novel, which made it a story within in story. The novel was located in the ancient times.

The male lead has a crush on a girl in his childhood. In his childhood he once ran away from home due to his family being to busy. The female lead's family take him in. The male lead ends up going back to his family and they lose contact. The male lead always remember and wants to find her. He finally finds her in the online voice dubbing forum. The male lead happens to be the xiao cao, aka the handsomest guy in school. The female lead and her best friend are in journalism major and has to try to interview the male lead.

Overall I enjoyed most of the drama esp the side story of the novel and their characters. I forgot to mention that the female lead didnt know the male lead was a powerful/well known voice dubber. When it was finally revealed that the male lead was her idol voice dub actor, it wasnt too exciting.

This drama had no unnecessary evil characters or drama which was good! I think they ended the voice dubbing novel to early. That focus was my main enjoyment. My interest of the drama dropped slightly after that ended...

Man I had such high hopes but it really didnt do it for me. At one point i almost contemplated dropping the drama. Many loopholes in the story and kinda bland...

Story: It is a time travel story of the female lead travel from 2020 back to 2010. First of all the time travel felt really out of place and kinda stretch... like as she was walking into a cafe shop , she gets shocked( or something like that ) lol i forgot already, and she bumps into the male lead. the male lead is around 8-9 years younger and is a CEO . Female lead's mission is to help the male lead become a ceo. I believe he is an ceo of a corporation related to house/hotels/building so he has to compete with others to get the land ? ( lol not quite sure) The storyline was kind of boring ... like them trying to be the winning bid to work with a specfic company. Not to mention how the female lead and her younger version of her meet, but that storyline didnt really go anywhere. I mean the older time traveled female lead did help enough her younger self... The female lead ends up having a weaker body because it was coming close to her having to lead. The end was a good ending but it didnt explain how she came back... Ended really abrupt...

Romance: I didnt really by the romance honestly. To me not enough chemistry in the kisses.. Again the beginning intro gives too much away. Basically shows all the kissing scenes , lol do i even need to watch anymore ? Their romance is cute and started off well and then went kinda dry for the middle part and at the end couple episode had few kissing scenes.

The second male lead is also annoying as heck and an a..hole.

If you have time then you can watch the drama.

Started strong but quickly fell downhill !

I had high hopes for this drama because I like the female actress. She is always very cheery and happy. It was pretty good in the beginning and then dragged on and on. I was surprise that the second leads kissed before the main, but they both had their first kiss by episode 5, but soon after that the plot was a disappointment.

Female lead is cute and what seems to have a sunshine personality, but in fact she is super self conscious about her studies in med. She only choose med as her major because the male friend she likes wants to become a doctor. On the day that she is finally going to confess, her male friend tells the female lead that he actually has been in secret relationship with her best friend. She is sad and drinks, of course being drunk she make a vow to court the best looking guy in school , which happens to the the male lead. The male lead is your standard , cold, intelligent guy, who basis is science and data.

The male lead eventually falls in love with the female lead, but the female lead thinks she is not matched to the male lead. She views herself as inferior.

whats annoying is that the male lead likes her in the beginning but at that time , she didnt like him. Ok! finally she figures out that she likes him, but she is too self concious. After she tries to confess, he tries to confess and basically its a cat a mouse chase,. By ep 20 they are finally together but their romance has lost all sizzle for me.

Keep in mind this drama is only 24 episodes long! This isnt fluff , its more like frustration that they arent together earlier and keep on missing the time to be together.

Rom com too cliche ?

I really like Kris Fan, but this drama didnt do it for me. Sure some moments will get you lmao but other moments are kinda bland. The plot development is very illogical and choppy.

Female lead 's dad owns a boxing ring. She herself is good in fighting/boxing. She becomes the male lead's body guard. The male lead is a financial headhunter who doesnt have any emotions. this was due to an car accident which. took the life of his mom. After the accident he is not able to feel any emotions. The female lead became the bodyguard of the male lead because her dad's boxing ring was in danger of shutting down. The female lead has an over amount of emotions, while the male lead has none. They did a study together to help the male lead regain emotions anonymously. The male lead wanted to cancel the treatment because he felt it wasnt working, on the last treatment there was a mishap in the vr system , somehow they switched emotions/the ability to feel hurt. The female lead feels the emotions for the male lead, while the male lead feels any pain the female lead feels from period pains to high pains, punching pains... (some parts of this was funny) The female lead is the body guard but is also working undercover to release secret information to the male lead's competing company.

The female lead is a little too naive and dumb for my liking. Her logic is like no logic. haha she even thought the male lead liked her before finally figuring out that the pain inflicted on her will go to him. She still gave out his information withou his consent....

They got together at such a weird time... like it didnt even seem like the male lead liked her that much it was more that she had a very one sided crush...

The male lead also mistaken another girl to be the one that saved him from the car accident( of course its the female lead) . He was trying to find the girl the whole time..

their sweet moments are soo good, its like eating candy or drug haha super sweet

Zhan Zhao the famous constable and the female lead

I havent watched half and already i think its pretty boring.

First of all while i do like the male actor, he doesnt really stand out. The female lead is witty but i didnt know she was that smart. She just seemed kinda acted very rashly and roughly.

The crime investigations were not interesting enough.I didnt even know who was the master mind behind it. The person that was captured was so powerful already. He seems like a boss on his own. Like it seems like they should put him to faced off in like the ending episodes..

Characters are introduced more than halfway.... Princess in ep 13....

Honestly dont feel the chemistry of the leads. I mean beside the part where Zhan Zhao fell into the water and they kissed thats it.

I am probably going to drop it.

RUNN!! this drama is not worth your time. a load of dog blood !

dont let this drama fool you ! its not fluffy and sweet... thats only the outside layer.... in fact its boring and annoying.

1) THIS DRAMA IS VERY CLICHE! CLICHE STORYLINE!! female lead has a twin. She has to "pretend" to be her twin sister.
Marriage contract......... Male lead has some sort of personality disorder!

REASONS TO SKIP THE DRAMA...
1) annoying ass 3rd female trying to sabotage the relationship of the leads
2) annoying ass 3rd male trying to sabotage the relationship of the leads, he is kinda crazy and creepy...
3) horrible storyline , there really isnt any focus story to develop... based of the female leads lies....
a) male lead has ambiguous relationship with the 3rd female
5) NO chemistry between the leads!

To sum uo the drama its a a game of being together, arguement, being together, arguement, secret almost expose and more annoying shenanigan of the 3rd female and male...

I only stuck around because the male lead is hot... The female lead is cute, but she's a pushover and doesnt have a personality that I like, plus no character development...

started somewhat interesting and feel towards a steep hill dowwards

DISCLAIMER- this drama is not focused on romance ! also 40 ep is way to long.

It started really promising with the cases, but eventually it got kinda boring! Like it would be the same format and i became impatient with the female lead trying to listen to all of the different types of disorders. What might of made it more interesting is to use text to show what is the definition of certain disorders, like bipolar, body dismorphia, panic attack, etc.

Whats annoying is you know there is an evil person, but that person still hasnt show their true motives and is basically doing so much behind the leads back. He also gets way too much on screen time! Super creepy.....

Also the leads dont have chemsistry! like I already watched until episode 27 and there is nothing!

female lead too stone cold male lead melting her heart?

The reviews gave me false hope! I hated this drama so boring! Not sure if its because the leads have no chemistry what so ever or the storyline. The storyline is the least interesting about in person translation verses AI translation.
The female lead had such a harsh childhood which makes her character pretty stone cold, logical and strive to perform her best. She is definitely not a super lovable character but she will get the work done. Male lead just seems to be not over the female lead, they broke up 8 years ago. The male lead is the CEO of a company thats working on AI translating devices.

This type of drama is hard to make interesting.... The character's story was all pretty boring. The background music is pretty good but the rest is skip. I dont ship the leads at all , just no chemistry or passion. I'm not sure if its the actress itself. I've seen her so many times just looking cold.

I would love to see Victoria look more feminine of even with a different hairstyle or make up . In her recent drama she looks pretty much the same.

Not to mention I couldnt stand the male lead side burns they are way too long

spoiled brat meets previous firefighter who "helps" her to be better...

I was kinda hoping this drama would be good... nope! not got at all! The storyline of this drama is really... too much.
First spoiled rich naive brat aka female... has an evil step brother who is jealous over her. He makes the grandfather mad who is now living in a hospital. He takes the chance to become CEO. Female lead wants to save the first plant that her grandfather started. The male lead is her teacher, helping her to become smarter and more responsible.

There are way too many unnecessary characters, like evil brother, evil brother's lover, another company's daughter who wanted to marry the evil brother, the bald second uncle....

It gets so boring and the leads arent really together. Its obvious they like each other, they've kissed like couple times..( on accident..)

also something very strange is that the male lead has a hard time falling asleep so when the female lead gets close to him he knocks out.... so random ( lol not even that add points to this drama)

Second male lead is kinda annoying because he's like in every episode. He doesnt use his true identity towards the female lead. Second male lead is a rich ceo, who was once engaged to the female lead.....
