IMO

Dilraba Dilmurat has already won my heart, and I find myself drawn to almost every drama she graces. The white hair look on her is simply enchanting. I must applaud the hairdresser responsible for those historical wigs – the styles are so timeless that they could easily fit into the present day. Their craftsmanship never fails to amaze me.

Gong Jun, portraying Crown Prince Han Ye, delivered an excellent performance. This marks my second time watching him, and even though I don't recall the first instance, he left a lasting impression in this drama. I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for his future projects.

Now, let's talk about Liu Yuning. The more I watch this actor, the more he captivates my spirit. His eyes are beautifully crafted, almost like windows to his soul. As an actor, he is exceptional, and his singing vocals elevate his talent to another level. What an outstanding performer!

Despite the tiny flaw in the costumes, set, and storyline – something I won't spoil here – the writers nearly had a perfect score from me, still earning a solid 10. Overall, the drama left a lasting impression, thanks to the stellar cast, engaging plot, and meticulous attention to detail in various aspects.

I watched this for the 2nd time today, Feb 23, 2023, and the first time was on Mar 7, 2020. This is a new review. My other review was totally messed up. I understand the storyline now after watching it a 2nd time, although I'm confused about how it started. I loved both Li Hong Yi and Zao Lu Si. The was my first time watching the performance of Li Hong Yi. I did fall in love with his voice. The charisma of his voice is beyond my many years of living. Wow! I really had to focus on the storyline to understand what I was watching. Zao Lu Si was trying to find True Love and she couldn't find it in the present day and went back to historic China to find it. (This is where I became confused) Was she in a coma in historical China and time-traveled to the future or was it vice versa? Because she surely didn't... well you have to watch it to know what I mean. I ended up really liking the storyline but did get mad because of Zhao Lu Si's character going back n forth, that got me a little dizzy. I loved the fantasy, the martial arts, and the wardrobe. I love that cape hoodie at the end on Li Hong Yi. Now the music kind of reminds me of another drama I watched. Thanking all the support actresses and actors. I know if I was in that drama, I wouldn't be trusting June Wu for sure. He got those eyes looking a little evil. but it's all good. Everything worked out. Thanking the team, writers, directors, etc.

A Must Watch!

Oh Gosh, this was so good. The storyline has its ups and down but it is really good. I will be rewatching it again soon. Lee Jon Suk (Park Chang Ho), what can I say about this actor? He takes a character and he will perform it to the fullest. What he did in this drama is take someone who is weak and made him strong. Life can do that to anyone. Park Chang Ho (Go Mi Ho) This is a wife that stood by her husband's side from school to wife. Her character already had that strong personality and she rode with it. What a great drama. I thank the writers who brought awareness to cancer and how the environment you live in can cause cancer. I applaud the writers. Activism at its best.

The energy that Doh Kyung Soo (Jin Jung) has plays the main role of Lee Se Hee. I mean he was loud and took on anyone who he didn't trust. Lee Se Hee's (Shin Ah Ra) character stayed by the Bad Prosecutor's side but no romance between the two... I had to laugh! I have never seen a drama where there was no romance. Ha Joon (Oh Do Hwan) Oh dang, he had me fooled. Ha Joon played this character to the extreme of being very believable. The visuals were on point. A lot of deaths in this drama. The last episode was nerve-racking (in a good way)! I didn't think I was going to like it but it was good. I decided to watch it because it did win an award. I had to see what it was about. Thanking all the actors/actresses, writers, directors, and the staff... the music had me sitting upright in my chair. This is a good watch.

The mysteries, the suspense, I love the who did it, why, and then you never know until the last few episodes. These are the kind of dramas that have you focusing and trying to guess who the culprit is. Kim Go Eun (Oh In Joo) I just love this actress, she does great in every role I have seen her play. Nam Ji Hyun (Oh In Kyung) who played the reporter was very believable. Park Ji Hoo (Oh In Hye) wow, they used the name of actress Oh In Hye who passed away in 2020. There was a suicide(s) in this drama and for me, I thank the writers and/or producers for repping Oh In Hye and bringing awareness to suicide. Nam Ji Hyun did a great job and I feel that she made this actress proud. I am impressed. Wi Ha Joon (Choi Do Il) I love this actor in all that he does. Just like Kim Go Eun, he puts himself in any role and becomes that character. The storyline had me guessing! I didn't know... but I do now. Everyone needs to see this! I swear some of these writers must be investigators. lol

I love fashion shows in South Korea. They had two catwalks in this drama... and both were hella good. Let me start with model Park Hee Jung, she is definitely gorgeous! Park Hee Jung is one of the best models to have ever come from Korea. In 2020, she was recognized by the Korea Designer Fashion Awards as the "Model of the Year." Her first gig was LV and many famous brand names of beautiful clothing came after that. I would love to see her in action-fantasy dramas as a Warrior. She did an awesome job in this drama since it is her very first drama. Let me talk about Hwarang star Choi Min Ho... everything about that actor is what's up! He can do no wrong. Great acting skills. Chae Soo Bin who played the first main lead is another awesome actress. I enjoy watching her and have seen her in other dramas. The wardrobes were perfect and that black-laced crisis cross-dress was amazingly beautiful. That knapsack has to go. lol. Thank you to all other actresses, actors, staff, writers, directors, makeup staff, and costume staff, you all did great.

I was really hoping this drama had a great storyline... I enjoyed a lot of what I watched. The storyline was different. I don't know if these screenwriters want to twist it at the end. Honestly, I didn't like the ending at all. Did the main leads die, or commit suicide? I think you need to watch it and judge it for yourself. I don't know what that was I saw.


Yook Sung Jae (Lee Seung Chun), Lee Jong Won (Hwang Tae Yong), Jung Chae Yeon (Na Joo Hee), and Yeonwoo (Oh Yu Jin) did great in the scripts that were given to them. I wanted to learn more about Yook Sung Jae who is a KPop Maknae Artist from BtoB. I love his personality so I wanted to see how good of an actor he was. I will find other dramas he is in. He has very good vocal tones which I do know.

I feel the same about Part 2 as I did about Part 1... These are the kind of dramas that I love so much. The intrigue, the martial arts, the fantasy, the animation, the music, the set, the costumes, and the skilled actors and actresses with great skills. It kept me focused on every single episode. Wow, I am truly impressed with the storyline. Zhang Yi Shang (Duan Mu Cui) is excellent, want to see more of her, she plays a strong female leading role and I loved it. Darren Chen (Zhan Hong) is the reason why I watched this. I was impressed with Darren Chen in "Meteor Garden" that I had to watch more of him. I am happy that I did. Wang Yi Fei (Hong Luan) gave me a new perspective on her acting skills. The new respect for romance in a drama has me reeled with a new founded respect that Love does exist even in dramas. The romantic chemistry between two skilled artists was definitely there. The romance between Duan Mu and Zhan was amazing and committed to each other no matter what. The ending was so cool... had me shaking my head in satisfaction. Yes, this is one to rewatch. I applaud the screenwriters and storytellers. You got this right.

My first impression of her in "Ashes of Love" was not that good but now I feel differently. Gu Zi Cheng (Wen Gu Wei Yu), I am feeling that some scenes were "cut". They need to make a drama on this character. I loved the animation of him being a dragon. This is a rewatch for me. I need to absorb the episodes.

I love a fantasy!

This drama is an excellent story to watch and intriguing. The storyline, I loved, this is my 2nd time watching it because I really got confused the first time. You really have to focus on the episodes. I have to go back and review something that I felt I missed. This actress Dilraba is something else. What a talented artist. Dilraba Dilmurat (Lie Ru Ge) gave her character her all. I just love her. Vic Zhou (Yin Xue) very handsome actor who added a little humor to his character. Vin Zhang (Zhan Feng) is one of the top Chinese actors, his work is on point and I love the martial arts he had to do in this story. Liu Rui Lin (Yu Zi Han) is also a great actor in which I have viewed his work in other dramas. I have to applaud two of the supporting actor Zhang He (Lei Jing Hong) and actress Dai Si (Dao Lie Xiang), I love this pairing and they had chemistry. Leon Lai A (n Ye Luo), I can't leave him out because this actor is good in all he does.

The Martial Art scenes were excellent, the fantasy didn't look fake (Thank God). I loved the wardrobe! The visuals were on point. What a great story, oh I said that already. Thanking everyone else for this great story... oops I said it again.

100 Episodes wow! This is my 2nd time watching this. Seol In Ah (Kim Chung Ah) was amazing but the only problem I had with this actress, I didn’t feel the love chemistry between her and KJY until episode 100. Kim Jae Young (Goo Joon Hwi) is amazing and very tall, no matter what part he plays, he transfers his personality to that character. Jo Yoon Hee(Kim Seol Ah) did very well in the portrayal of the character she played. Yoon Park(Moon Tae Rang) is another tall actor and I like the character he played. Oh Min Suk(Do Jin Woo), this actor was lively with humor and serious when he wanted to be.

The storyline is somewhat different from others. The domino effect of two families was destined in this story. I’m so glad the writers brought attention to suicide prevention and how it is important to see the red flags. The suicide rate in South Korea is #4 Worldwide. I know 100 episodes is a long watch, but the story had to be told.

Thanking the team who worked hard in making and telling the story of Beautiful Love Wonderful life.

The storyline was great but did have one hiccup. I felt that in the end, they left out a lot of the storyline. It surely skipped part of the ending and looked like it was missing. This is another one of those dramas you can't skip episodes on or you will miss needed-to-be-watched information. Xu Kai (Ding Yun Qi), what can I say, his acting is awesomely great and very handsome.
Elaine Zhong (Wu Shuang), played another strong female character and she was excellent. Kudos to her! The other main actors and supporting actors/actresses also did very well. As I always say if a team works together they will get the job done and show a great story. The costumes were great, I love the historical garments of what martial art sects wore. I loved the martial arts in this drama. It was like watching great dancers. Xu Kai was dressed in some fabulous suits, wow. The visuals for the Kunlun Mountains were totally interesting and awesome that I had to research these mountains. The formation of the mountain range is incredible. Thank you for a great storyline and for educating me on the Kunlun Mountains.

I hate one part of this whole drama. It had me crying for a whole dang episode! It turned out perfectly... hahaha I scared y'all huh? Kim Nam Gil played his character Dr. Heo Im was incredible. Kim Ah Joong who plays Choi Yeon Kyung is a strong woman for playing this part. The elder actors did fantastically well! I love travel time dramas and this one had me laughing, crying, and shaking my head. I didn't know what to expect. You can NOT miss an episode with this one and don't go all the way to the last episode to see what happens or you will ruin it for yourself. The visuals and I know the crew had to be busy working two sets of historical Korea to present day Korea. I love the medical uniforms they wore during the Joseon period. This is a must-watch. Thank you to all the crew that was involved in this drama. Thanking the producers and writers, this was a great story.

I enjoyed watching this drama because of how they showed the different lives that lived in this little town. A lot of you will think this is boring but it is not. This is a must-watch.

1.Lee Byung Hun played Lee Dong Seok 2. Shin Min Ah played Min Seon Ah 3. Cha Seung Won played Choi Han Soo 4. Lee Jung Eun played Jung Eun Hee 5. Uhm Jung Hwa played Go Mi Ran 6. Han Ji Min played Lee Young Ok 7. Kim Woo Bin played

14. Roh Yoon Seo played Bang Young Joo and 15. Jung Eun Hye played Lee Young Hee. The most main leads I have ever seen in a Korean Drama. They all made this story their own and was so believable. I cried and laughed with all of my emotions coming to the front in watching this. I applaud all the above, especially Jung Eun Hye, she did awesomely.

Let's talk about the music: With you my BTS member Jimin and Ha Sungwoon what a beautiful song. My favorite music score of the movie... not to say the other music that was played was bad... they were all good. Thanking the team of Our Blues much respect.

An excellent drama to watch. I felt the storyline was very interesting. I won't give it away but it made me very cold inside. This is a type of romance you would not expect from two people. Ji Chang Wook played Ma Dong Chan so perfectly and made this character come to life. Won Jin Ah, I applaud this actress, who played Go Mi Ran. Her character was standoffish in the beginning but pulled it through at the end. Very well done. I thank all the other actresses and actors who had parts. You can't skip to the end on this one or you will miss all the good parts in between. I did feel sad for one of the characters. That's all I'm going to say on this.
