Awesome
This is already a very very late review. I just feel that I need to make a review because I really love this series.I guess this review is for the people who are new to Cdrama’s.
This is the only drama that I will never get tired of watching. I’ve watched this several times already and almost memorize each scene but I don’t care, I still rewatch this.
The chemistry of Yangyang and Zheng shuang is so perfect.
The story is so unique, I tried looking for other series who has the same story or kinda similar to this, but I cant find until now. Nowadays the series have so many conflicts, conflict with work, conflict with love, with family, but this series is so light, so refreshing that everytime I’m stress and wanna feel better, I will just watch this series. Other series may have a perfect ML lead, handsome, genius rich and all, but noone love like Xiao Nai.
Yangyang’s portrayal of Xiao Nai is so commendable that I ended up on stalking him in social media for several days.
Also the friends of Xiao Nai added spice to the series.
If you want a stress free, romantic, comedy, online gaming story, you need to see this series.

Hidden Gem
I forgot how I stumbled on this series. Maybe it popped up again on my YT channel. I actually saw the first episode several times but due to bad english sub titles, I stop watching it.But due to lack of any finish series to watch I tried watching this again while reading the comments and searching for reviews, The 2 reviews though didn't help as their rating's not the same. LOL Which I understand as the review is base on the opinion of the reviewer.
So I started watching it. The story is really unique. The FL is so mysterious, I was so confuse at first on the FL's character and the bad sub titles added to the confusion even more so I tried to check in Dramacool if it has better sub title. Though it's not really good, it's tolerable.
The ML lead is so hilarious. I seldom watch series that has the ML character. Most series now has rich, brainy and serious or stone face (cold) ML. The supporting characters are also entertaining, the assistant of the ML, the Friend of the FL, the Hotel Manager. The ML's brother is not evil as well as The father of the ML. So this is really a very light drama, funny if you can understand the sub titles and with a touch of mystery. The antagonist on this drama is good because I hate her. Having this said. she was able to portray her character so well.
If the subs are good I might have enjoyed the chemistry of the FL and ML more, sad to say some of the sentences are hard to understand.
Also If the sub is good, I might watch this again. The 7.0 rewatch score is not because of the story itself but because of the bad English sub titles.

Waiting for the next episode patiently.
I'm so excited with this series for 2 reasons1. I love True Beauty, it's the 1st and only webtoon I really read and followed and I imagine Cha Eun Woo as Lee Su Ho while reading this. Having Cha Eunwoo as the ML is a dream come true for True Beauty readers like me.
2. I miss Cha Eunwoo in a drama. I've watched Gangnam Beauty several times already and never get tired of it.
I can't wait for the next episodes. I don't usually watch dramas that has few episode because I'm used of binge watching, but I cannot wait to see the episode so I started watching True Beauty even if it just started.

Binge worthy
*** Binge worthyI've been seeing this series in WeTV but I never clicked on it as I don't wanna watch a food topic series in the moment as I always get hungry and want to eat but I saw the high rating and some clip so I click the ep 1 and Oh My God it took me just a while to finish several episodes. Good thing I have VIP access in WeTV, I cant imagine the frustration if I dont have VIP access.
The story I may say is already a cliché. Rich guy poor girl or boss employee with a witchy mother of the ML.
However, what makes it different is the age gap and the acting of the FL and ML leads. They're chemistry is superb!
I already watched several series of Rosy Zhao so I'm already familiar with her acting so I dont have to search her to look for her other series, but since Im not so familiar with the ML I need to search him to see if there's another series of him that may interest me. Damn he's so good.
The ML's brother is so annoying, gosh! I hate his smile.
All the episodes, are so sweet and romantic except when the brother turned evil. But at the latter part of the series I want to hit Rosy Zhao at the back of her head so she can wake up and see the fakeness of the brother. She's so frustrating at the latter episode. Lin Yu Shen already told her not to get close with his brother but still she didn’t listen.
I'm in episode 24, I just can’t wait to finish the series to make a review.
I'm not yet finish with this series but I already know that I will be watching it again.
I recommended it to my sister last week, and I wanna watch the start again with her while waiting for the last 2 episodes. It only shows how good this series is.

I never thought I would be able to finish this drama. I went back on this drama three times after being frustrated. I watched Cdramas to lighten up my mood. The problem with KDrama is that the writers think life has so many problems. Problem after problem. I know life is not easy but watching a drama with so many problems is so depressing. Story-
The issue here is that Lee Soo's misunderstood because he doesn't express himself or open up, I think even when he was dating Woo Yeon he still did not open up. He grew up in a broken family, the reason why he doesn't know how to love. Also, I don't know what to say with Kim Young Hee's 10 yrs of Unrequited love. Should I admire her? Pity her? Or knock her head so she would wake up? Their relationship is so messed up because they do not talk. They call each other so often but do not really talk.
Then another depressing here is the life of Kim Young Hee. Why is her life so hard? I just can't understand the reasoning that you cannot get married if you are so poor or if you're mother is sick. Young Hee does not want to share her burden with Hyun Jae but that's how relationship works. That's why you are partners. I wish to have a partner like Hyun Jae, someone who can love me unconditionally, who loves all my flaws and will always be there even I already gave up.
I cried when Hyun Jae visited her mother in the hospital after they broke up. Then I cried a lot when Young Hee's mom died, then cried again when the 2 friends showed up and comforted her, then Hyun Jae cried.
I love the friendship here, that I am so jealous. I hope I have friends that I can meet after work, can drink if happy or sad. Friends that I grew up with.
Cast
All the casts did well. Maybe I did not drop this drama because of their good acting. There are funny moments that helps me forget the sad part of the drama.
Music
I love the songs. All the songs really suited the drama.
Rewatch
I am not sure if I will watch this again as this drama made me cry so bad. I may not watch it again but for sure I will not forget this drama.
Overall
This could have been better if the writer lessen the issues of the cast.

So I still give this a go, but stop at episode 12 for a while. I watched it in fast forward or skipping some parts of each episodes but the story is really boring me so I stopped.
Then while waiting for the other episodes of some of the TV series I’m watching, I checked my pending to watch, found this and continued. Then Skip watch skip. TORTURE! The leads and support characters are OK but the story is so cliché.
This is the first time I’m writing a review, I just really need to write my frustration. The plot “parents of leads having old relationships - FL might be the daughter of the ML father Is so cliché. The stories of the casts having troubles as students should be enough but the writer keeps on adding cliché conflict.
I Will skip some ep and just watch maybe the last 2 episodes- “fast forward is the key” for the sake of finishing this.

Refreshing Young Leads
I don’t usually write a review, so I will keep this short.Others may find the story slow, but for me it’s fine because there’s time for the ML to develop his character.
I didn’t find this series boring at all, the magic is interesting. The actors are refreshing because they’re all young and I have not seen in other series.
Though they’re young and new, they’re actings are better than other senior actors.
I like the actors friendship as well.
I didn’t notice that I’m already at episode 12, what I really like is that, unlike the other series where I can guess what will happen, in this series I don’t knw what will happen next.
I guessed that Mu chen has hidden power.
I guessed that MU Chen’s father will die on the first war, I actually guessed several times that he will die. 😂
I also guess that Mubai will be Mu Chen’s enemy since Mubai’s father tried to invade Mu’s territory, I also guessed that he will get angry when his father died 😂
So many guesses, so far only 1 came true.
So I came here to check if there are some spoiler that will tell my guesses are correct hahaha
I will just watch and wait haha

Aaargh!
The Story line is too much.I tried watching this several times but couldn't really finish it.
I like Eleanor Lee's acting, I've watched her other dramas so I'm familiar with her way of acting. Though I'm not familiar with the Male Lead, he's also good. I searched his other dramas and without knowing, I already saw him in other dramas like Fox in the Screen and Dr. Cutie.
Other than the actors and music on this Drama, I don't find any reason to continue. Other review says, you will like it depending on your age, but I beg to disagree, even if I'm a high school student, I wouldn't be able to watch this kind of story. I watched other dramas with over the top acting but this one is the worst story if I may say.
This is just my opinion.
