I watch this when I heard Woo Do-Hwan was in this Kdrama. I loved the storyline, this may be a fictional story but this is a reality. Thank you for bringing awareness of these types of cults which should not be allowed anywhere. Thank you to the main leads and the supporting cast and others for making this believable.

This really happened in the United States I remember this very well. "The members of the group in 1997, identified by the authorities as Heaven's Gate, referred to themselves as angels, dressed alike in androgynous black clothes and buzz haircuts, and ran a business, Higher Source, that designed commercial home pages for the Internet. The co-founder of the cult, Marshall Herff Applewhite, 65, was among the dead, the San Diego County Medical Examiner's office said".

I really enjoyed this romantic comedy, drama and what a critical secret! I laugh so hard at some of the scenes, I cried at some of the scenes and was very glad that a fatal attraction female was not intervening with the two main characters like most dramas that I have viewed. The two main leads, I applaud you, what romantic chemistry with each other. Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young were fantastic! I give this a 10 because this drama succeeded in bringing out all of my emotions. Thank you, writers, producers, and the rest of the cast. Another awareness in this storyline which is when a child sees death in front of their eyes can be devastating and memories can linger on with PTSD until their demise. This brought me to heavy tears! It also taught me that even someone close to a child that is kidnapped that they go through some traumatic mental issues. Oh my gosh, that was a deep storyline! The other thing I am so glad about is that they hid the suicide scene, I wished they would've shown the woman just climbing onto the chair and not the rope. I hope KDramas, ChineseDramas, and other dramas would stop using suicide to solve one's problem. The suicide rate is high in the USA, China, Europe, and other continents!

Jung Hae In who played Yoo Ji Ho and Han Ji Min who played Lee Jung In romance chemistry is there, my problem with this romantic drama is the back n forth between these two. I'm not blaming the actor and actress but I am blaming the story writers. My other problem, the writers chose the female main lead to show tendencies of emotional abuse towards her partner in the present day which tapered towards the end to have a happy ending. Domestic Abuse is rated high in most countries presently. I know this is a story but stories project to the audience ideologies to commit abuse by copying a scene. Other than that the rest of the story was good. Thanking the cast for a job well done.

The Martial Arts though!

I love martial arts when I know the actor(s) are not faking the moves. That is what makes this movie great. I was impressed with Max Zhang, I even wished that Lee Joon Gi starred in this movie. A lot of great visual effects in this movie. It looks so real, the hits, the chops... all of it! The storyline with Max Zhang playing a father character he played made it so believable for a father who loves his son. The two different languages that are spoken or subtitled were done very well. I even got emotional in some of the scenes. I have seen Johnny Jaa in a lot of movies and "Rush Hour 3" is one of my favs. Love Jackie Chan although he didn't play in this movie but thought I would mention him.

I loved this so much! The first few episodes it was serious and I love the storyline. This gave me another chance to see one of my fav actors Ethan Ruan. He does comedy very well. The directors/writers had the right cast to showcase this drama series. Xin Ling Zhong, OMG, she was awesomely funny, I love her. It felt good to really laugh where your stomach hurts, this is a great comedy. It was also sad and like the American soap operas, there is always that snake to break up or harm a relationship. I took half of the points off the music because they played continuously. The chemistry was there in the Romance parts. Not like Legend of Fuyao, I'm being selfish right now... lol. Thanking the Director, and all of the cast including the guest cast! Thanking the team for makeup and costumes. No Martial arts that I love but the comedy was a plus.

It had an okay storyline but it surely was long. Thank God it was on YouTube! Let me start with the cast of Chen Xiao who played Shen Xing Yi, he played this part very well! I believe he deserved a 10 and should've been given a nomination or an award. I understand this drama had so many characters and they all played their part very well. There was a lot of mystery and you have to guess who did what and when. I wished they had more martial arts Kung Fu but they didn't. I didn't feel the chemistry in the romance, um, well it was just one-sided with Shen Xingyi I felt that he had chemistry with his character. I didn't like the sad ending. I wished it was a Happy Ending for him. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. I want to know more about Chen Xiao.

This Drama Series, I believe is the best I've seen in that the two Main Characters portrayed an emotion called "Agape Love". Thanks to Ethan Juan and Yang Mi, these two leads and two of my top 10 actors and actress, made this believable. The chemistry between Ethan Juan and Yang Mi was outstanding. The cast, the main leads, and the extra cast made this an epic storyline from the beginning episode to the ending episode. My emotions really ran high in this one anger, sad, joy, then balling my eyes out. The music didn't help at all! What I mean is the music for this drama piece made my emotions high and low. What great music for my ears! Ethan Juan and Yang Mi made this story as if it were a true story. Unbelievable!

I want to thank all the cast, the producers, the directors, the visual effects, the musicians and music creators, the makeup artists, the costumes... All of it! I give you your due respect! Awesome!

I want to thank the screenwriters for bringing awareness to rape.

I think I already wrote a review for this already, but don't see it.

It is outright astounding and brilliant, too.

The storyline with the present day was brilliant! I have a question for the Hair Team, was that Raymond Lam's real hair in the last episode? Anyways, The storyline didn't go back n forth as some do. I did take a point off of the storyline rating because you had Tina Tang play DongG kind of wavering at times in the personality of the character. If I could have another kid I would name him "Daišan", love that name. The costumes helped me get into the characters of that era, which is very good. I didn't notice any background music to busy being focused on the storyline but still rate it at 8. I loved the other characters of the 3 brothers but then I saw Qu Chu Xiao towards the end, he is one of my fav actors. Those eyes of his... unt uh uh. Thank you Rule the World team for a marvelous Drama Series.

I have to give the writer(s) their props in making this Drama Series! I have seen Wallace Huo play some serious martial art drama acting in other Drama Series and Movie that I've never seen him play in a romantic comedy. I laughed so hard in some of the scenes and in reality, I needed that laugh so THANK YOU WALLACE HUO for showing me a different side of you. The story in this Drama, I loved it! I'm glad that I was able to watch another actor play in this romantic comedy, Huang Ming, because when he played in the "Legend of Fuyao" as the half brother of Wu Ji, he played in a scene that molested Fuyao, and I hated HIM because he played it so believable. This Drama series showed a softer side of him. I'm a Rape Survivor!

Thank you, to all the team of "Perfect Couple", I enjoyed it and will rewatch it.

What did I just watch!

The only reason I'm hanging in there is because of William Chan and Tiffany Tang. I didn't like episode one at all! ugh... The first episode killed my mood! The 2nd episode killed my mood! The third and fourth when I saw William Chan made me feel a little better. I actually feel like I have the flu! Great actors and actresses in this BUT... help!!! Just want to say Li Yi Feng I like too. so there you have it. I can't... I really can't... make it to Episode 11... The storyline sucked. My heart aches now because I feel bad for William Chan, Tiffany Tang, and all of the cast. The Pain... ugh... Then I skipped all the way to the end. Whyyyyyyyyyy???

Wow, I'm enamored with Esther Yu's performance in "Fairy and the Devil," especially alongside Dylan Wang, and my admiration for her only grows as she shares the screen with Xu Kai in "Sword and Fairy"– my three favorite actors! Where do I even begin to express my enthusiasm for this Chinese Drama "Sword and Fairy"?

Esther's portrayal is simply adorable; she embodies the character with such charm that if I had a daughter, I'd hope she'd be just like her. The intricate weaving of the storyline by the writers is truly commendable. A heartfelt thank you to the writers for their incredible work!

Let's talk about Xu Kai – OMG, not only did he flawlessly deliver lines for two characters, but he also brought a third one to life without uttering a single word (saying that metaphorically)! The seamless production of scenes featuring all three Xu Kais on screen is a testament to the phenomenal work of the screen production team. Xu Kai, your portrayal of two characters is nothing short of extraordinary – I applaud you wholeheartedly.

Esther Yu faced a similar challenge, memorizing lines for one character and bringing her to life with such grace. Again, a big thank you to the screen producer for skillfully presenting two Esthers in one scene. The love between the two characters was beautifully depicted, and I found myself rooting for them till the very end. Speaking of which, that final scene left me wanting more – writer, what was that? I yearned for them to embrace each other with open arms!

The supporting cast, who stood by the two leads, also deserve recognition for their remarkable performances. Every actor and actress breathed life into their roles, making the story truly come alive for me. From the captivating set to the exquisite costumes, the stunning martial arts sequences to the enchanting animation – every aspect of the production was executed with perfection.

Once again, a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved for a job well done. This drama wouldn't have been a perfect 10 for me without the dedication and talent of every member of the cast and crew.

This was another good historical drama. I loved how the screenwriters made this historical drama from the beginning of Empress Dugu's life to the end of her life. I love these types of historical dramas. Joe Chen who played Empress Dugu played the main lead with all she had. She did awesomely well. She played a strong role as a younger Jialuo but her role as an Empress kind of softened. Empress Dugu hung in there for her love of Yang Jian who later became the Emperor. The romance between the two main roles is impressive to me. What they had to go through to get where they were. Wow! Chen Xiao what an excellent actor who played Yang Jian who later became the Emperor. The love he had for Jialuo is impeccable. I love this actor.

The costumes, OMG were beautifully designed. The visuals, the martial arts, and the music all were excellent. Thanking the other two main leads and supporting actresses, I applaud all of you. The rest of the team, I also applaud you, this story became alive in our thoughts once again.

This is a Re-watch Review

I re-watched and understood the movie in July of 2022. I did like the storyline but loved the visuals, especially the underground-type vault. The First time I watched this was Sept 20, 2021. Mickey played one crazy Duke Qiu Zi Liang and was very believable. I just love Cheng Yi... I loved him in The Promise of Chang’an, Love and Redemption, The Lost Tomb 2, Noble Aspirations II, and Noble Aspirations. Can hardly wait for Noble Aspirations III. China Entertainment is stopping and banning a lot of Chinese Dramas. I will feel really sad if they stop Noble Aspirations III. I wasn't crazy about the ending, I cried.

This was very long, I mean long. I took a point off the storyline because I felt bad for the actress Zhang Yu Xi (now I know where they got the name Yu'er)who died, was injured, and got kicked out of the palace so many times. Poor Cheng Yi dying throughout the whole storyline. The way they performed, they did it so well. A lot of martial art is the best for me. Did Cheng Yi lose weight for this drama, he looked really thin. This drama was more of a mystery of who did it which made it interesting. A lot of killing which I did not care for especially of children. The visuals, music, and costumes were okay. Of course like I always say the story couldn't be complete without all the other actors and actresses so I applaud them.

NOTE: Youtube has this Drama which is a similar story but not quite under the same name "The Mortal Samsara", a Chinese Drama starring Zhang Yu Xi. Don't get it confused with the new Fantasy drama The Mortal SamSara- Xianxia Fantasy Drama starring Yangzi

Rape Awareness

I really absolutely like this drama! Hu Yi Tian did a wonderful job portraying Shen Qing Juan. He was brilliant in the part he had playing a character who had a mental disorder. I applaud him. Hu Yi Tian (I love his name) stands at 6.2 ft ., wow, he had to play basketball. Looking at the height of Xing Fei who stands at 5.5 Ft., wow what a difference. Her head came to his chest. Dang, I would be a child standing next to him. Xing Fei did extremely well being almost a foot shorter than her lead actor. So cute. Xing Fei was born in Mongolia where my ancestors began, I was happy about that. This story hits home with me as a kidnap and rape survivor. I am so happy that they brought awareness of Rape to the forefront of this drama. I was a little perturbed when they did not show the outcome of a serial rapist. The visuals were perfect. I am thanking all the support actors/actresses because without them the story wouldn't be complete. oh yes, I have to see more Hu Yi Tian... he is so handsome and a brilliant actor.
