finally finished

I have to stop watching unfinished drama... huhuhu....

After I've watch snow sword stride (SSS) I decided to watch this. I have to say this drama have the same vibe with SSS, or should I say SSS have the same vibe with this one. But while SSS have no cliffhanger when they close the curtain, this was like Princess Agent have a frustrated cliffhanger that makes me want to punch the writer in the face. Yes I know they have the 2nd season on the road, but never I've expected they have the same open ending like princess agent.

Don't know to be cry or excited waiting for the season 2. Because I really don't know will Xiao Zhan ever come back to this drama due to his pack schedule.... While his character rather quite important here, and if they change the actor I don't know what my reaction will be.

So yeah I'll gonna put this drama on hold until the second season aired & I will be able to watch that... & after that I'll gonna rise the score too....

==============================================================================================
After hold it for 2 years, finally I'm able to finished this drama. Also still with thought in my mind, will I regret myself for watched this series before all of it aired...? Well... We'll see then...

Story about Fan Xian (FX), a man who 'reborn to ancient time'. He lives in a rural town as the illegitimate son of the Minister of Finance, raised by his grandmother. FX lived free life, guarded by a blind martial arts expert, Wu Zhu (WX), his mother's bodyguard. One time, there's a master of art of poison, Fei Jie (FJ), who come to the town to teach FX the art of medicine & poison. With that FX learn the art of poison from FJ & martial arts from WX.

After an assassination attempt, he decides to venture into the capital to find out more about his mysterious mother and why anyone would want to kill him, as he perceives himself to be an unimportant person. In the capital, he accidentally meets Lin Wan Er (WR), the sickly illegitimate daughter of Princess Royal, and falls in love with her. Unbeknownst to him, she is the woman the emperor chose for him to marry so that he would be the new overseer of the Royal Treasury, an institute Fan Xian's mother established in the palace and currently handled by Princess Royal.

In the capital, however, he gets entangled in the intrigues of the Emperor and the two Princes, as well as the Overwatch Department, leading to him questioning his whole identity and inducing him to find his true life goals, abandoning his original intention to just "enjoy life". So, how his journey will go from here...?

That's basically what this drama about, this time MDL wrote quite accurate about it. Haha... Now let's talk what I like and don't like...

What I like:
+ The interesting character. You can say everyone in here, from FX, WR, Emperor, Chen Ping Ping (CPP) till Wang Qi Nian all interesting in their own way.... Everyone seem to have layer of character / face that will reveal in the perfect timing...
+ One of the greatest 'chess' politic in drama land. Oh... When you hear what CPP & emperor actually planning / cooking under the table, in the few last ep... You will either be amazed by them or you will shake your head, wondering how they have the heart to do so to FX.
+ Watching drama from 5 years ago bring some familiar face that unfamous back then, but now they're someone who are the lead in the drama, like Song Yi as Fan Ruo Ruo. Oh when I watched this 2 years ago, I don't remember nor know her, but now at least I know who she is. And that's make the drama more interesting to watch...

What I don't like:
- The series divided into 3 parts & we have to wait it so damn long for the next series.
- Everyone sometimes so damn stupid, they really willing to do anything in the name of their country... That's kinda pissed me off...

Overall I really think this one of unique drama. But the 3 parts really pissed me off. So yeah, I still need to lower the score... And in the end I still quite excited to watch the next part...

Not as toxic as the other of MAME works...

Sky x Prapai aka Peat x Fort, of course here I come... Haha...

Much like any other MAME works, this also works for me... Haha... I like it. And quite surprising, this time the relationship between the main couple is not as toxic as the other... Of course, sometimes there is no drama without toxicity & sometimes we just crave for it... Haha.... But enough about the introduction, let's just dive into the drama...

Tongrak is a writer of popular romance novels, forced to go to the island by his friend. On the island he met Mahasamut, the local tour guide guy, who loved teasing him... Of course right out of the bat, they start bickering, because Mahasamut thinks Tongrak is just an arrogant city guy & Tongrak pissed cause Mahasamut likes to tease him.

But of course they’re still our main couple. So one thing leads to another, they start their one night stand. And it turns out Tongrak just can’t get enough of Mahasamut, and vice versa. In the end, when Tongrak vacation days ran out Mahasamut just hopped to the ship that brought them to Bangkok.

In Bangkok, Mahasamut has to get the stamp approval from Tongrak inner circle, aka his assistant Vivi & Khaimuk (Mook), Tongrak best friend. And later on, we also get introduced to Tongrak’s family, aka Tongrak’s niece; Meena, Tongrak’s cousin; Prin & Tongrak dad; Jak. Meena is a cute little girl, but Prin & Jak is a whole toxicity itself…

Prin, with her jealousy, tries to bring all the misfortune to Tongrak. And Jak with his own scheme also tries to ruin Tongrak & Mahasamut. So, what will happen to Tongrak & Mahasamut in the end…?

That’s pretty much the story without giving too much clue about what happened… Now let’s talk about what I like & don’t like.

What I like:
+ Peat x Fort. Oh I love their chemistry…
+ The cute Meena
+ Loyal Vivi & Mook

Overall this is quite a good story to tell. I like it.

Below I'll write about what I don’t like, but that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! So read it at your own risk!!!












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

What I don’t like:
- The half baked story. If not about Tongrak & Mahasamut, all the other stories feel like half baked. Like the story about Vivi & Mook. What happened to their relationship in the end…? Or like why Prin is so f*cking jealous of Tongrak…? See half baked….
- I need more background about Jak’s abuse toward both of his children, until Tongrak, his sister, and even Meena are so afraid of him.
- The most unfortunate is Vivi & Mook story. I really need closure for their relationship.

Oh Sh*t...

Quite wonder about this drama. Finally finished aired. Let's watch it...

Story about Sheng Wang (SW), a boy who just move back to town & enter new school. The first scene actually just give view that he just come to town, but later when SW flash back, we know that actually he's lived there when he's little. So, SW move back to town due to his father re-married. In this new school, he get a shocking news, the school have a harsh test rule. They quick to learn new subject & then test. But thankfully, SW is a clever boy, he quickly adapt with the school system & got himself friends.

On the other hands, there's Jiang Tian (JT), a top student in the school. SW's dad married JT's mom & that's make them brothers & they also lived in the same house. At first, SW quite reluctant to ask for JT's help, cause JT also like build a wall so no one can go near him. But slowly but sure we can see how special SW in JT's eye. JT silently help SW to adapt with their friend & in the end also JT & SW both help each other in their study.

So, slowly but sure we can see how their relationship get closer and closer. But of course like any other teenager, SW quite struggler with his feeling for JT. On one hand, JT is SW brother. But on the other hand, SW notice JT is quite special for him & SW also notice how JT think him as special man too. So, how will their relationship evolve from here...?

That's pretty much the story. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ The perfect chemistry between JT & SW. Oh I love how they put the atmosphere between these boys....
+ Usually I quite hate or don't like if actor in their 30s or edge of their 20s act as teenage boy, but for these cast I beg the different. And unlike the recent Thai drama that force their luck with the actor, both our main lead surround by the actor of their age.
+ The funny and perfect little school life.

Overall this quite good a drama. But why I only give this 6.5...? Because one big thing that I really hate... But that's also mean BIG SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at ur own risk. Without the drawback actually I'll gonna rate this 8.5 - 9













==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

What I don't like:
THIS IS THE OPEN ENDING WITH THE CLIFFHANGER!!!! They leave us when SW start notice his feeling for JT & want to 'cure' it, return it to just brotherly feeling between them.

But still this one series that I still excited to wait for season 2. I really hope I'm not wait for too long

the finish line

This is the perfect ending to close the curtain. Really love to see them go into work force. Love to see how Third and Khai manage to work on their relationship. Love to see them grow into better adult.

Really2 love how Khai stay truth to Third, even when he wants to hide something, finally his self conscious speak & how he listen to it. That's what really make Third & Khai relationship stay stronger. The trust & openness in their relationship really speak volume in this short closer.

I really happy this special ep really really tell the unfinished story about the stories yet to be told, not just the director cut that's not make to the final screen but too dear to throw away.

Weird title but good drama

The earlier drama of Off-Gun. Let’s watch this….

Tell the story of 4 friends, but 3 kinds of love stories. All of them are students of filmology major and a member of the Savage Team, a team of students that do the school task with their own speciality. Third as the director & screenwriter, Khai as the sound guy, Two as the photographer & Bone as the editing guy. All of them are the top tier students that every girl has a crush on.

1st, Third & Khai.
Tell the story about Third who is secretly in love with his own best friend, Khai. Khai is a straight guy, who changes his girlfriend like he changes his clothes. Third, endure 3 years of friendship with Khai, seeing him flirting with many girls in front of his eyes. After 3 years, finally Third decided to snap out of his dream. But as people always said, talk is easier than action. Because although as easy as it is to fall in love, to stop is just as hard. And everytime Third wanted to give up his feelings for Khai, Khai did something sweet to him & made his heart flutter again. That is until one day Third learns a secret that breaks his heart completely.

But ironically when Third decides to stop his feelings & continue with his own life, Khai on the other hand just realizes his own feelings for Third and decides to start chasing Third. What will their relationship become…?

2nd, Two.
Two is a photographer guy that catches many girls' attention with his skill that makes the girl he takes pictures prettier. But it turns out, Two has a long crush with his high school friend, Lynn. But unfortunately, Lynn also has a long relationship with her boyfriend. One day, Two and Lynn meet again when Lynn becomes a model for Two’s photography class. And after that they start communicating again. One day, Two opportunities came when Lynn & her boyfriend broke up. But on the other hand, Two’s eyes also start to catch one senior that’s showing more attention to him. Who will Two choose in the end, Lynn or the senior…?

3rd, Bone.
Bone likes to flirt with a girl too, but unlike Khai, he's not a player. Bone work in the coffee shop. One day, he met Paan, when he's about to close the shop. But because he doesn't have her contract info, he waits for her everyday in the shop, until he even forgets about his classes & study. Because he never went to class, the new teacher almost failed him, but luckily Two warned him so that day Bone went to class just to find…. The woman in his dream, Paan, teaches the class. So what will happen with Bone & his teacher? Will he win Paan’s heart?

That's pretty much about the story without giving too many spoilers. Now what I like & don't like.

What I like:
+ The reality of Third and Khai relationships that most of us can rely on. Many of us are also that's stupid when it comes to love. And the cure is only one, get the hell away from that person & give urself activity to distract urself at first. And I love when Third really decided to give up, he makes himself busy.
+ U get to witness First hand Karma is b*tch. Haha… When it is time for Khai to chase after Third, he gets his own taste of karma….
+ How Khai really repents himself for Third. Sometimes I don't really believe the story of a playboy who changes himself for someone. But seeing Khai's effort really sincere.
+ The friendship between 4 of them. Especially when Bone & Two decided to side with Third instead of Khai…
+ It just doesn't ending with them graduation, hut a little peek about them in the work place & still as a team
+ No over the top s*x scene. Just some kiss here & there, even when they all already with their partner

What I don't too like:
- Seeing Third as a stupid man. But Gun Atthaphan Phunsawat is really one good actor, he can make us feel how painful Third is.

Overall this is a good drama to watch.

Below I'll write what I quite like and don't, but with SPOILER ALERT!!! So read it at your own risk!












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

+ Bone is really one good guy. He does the right thing with Paan & her boyfriend
+ In this drama we get to see, not all first love / long crush comes fruitful. And I also love the fact that Two is quite honest with Lynn when his feelings change. Although it's also quite pain to see Lynn when she's once again being betrayed by man who said he love her.
+ The funny thing about old drama, we can see one actor with another couple, not with their current ship/couple, that actually kinda surprised me with Thai BL. Of course I talk about Earth Pirapat Watthanasetsiri, seeing him doesn't partner up with Mix Sahaphap Wongratch quite catch me off guard.

- The bullshit accident. When someone crash that bad like Khai, it's kinda impossible to walk. Yet alone he can reach Third place. Yeah although i don't know how fat & how adrenaline can pump ur energy. Still BS thing

I forgot why I even want to watch this in the first place... But for sure just another drama to be added to my list...

Let's begin...

This drama told a story of Gene, the writer. He wanted to write story about mystery, but instead his publisher gave him task to write BL novel & it exploded with success. This drama started with Gene book choose to be adapt into series. And there where's he met Nubsib, the main actor of his drama. When the story started to run, we learn that admiration Nubsib had for Gene is nothing light & he really loves him with all the jealousy... How will the story run from here forward...?

Ok. What now let's discuss what I like and don't like. First as usual, what I like. Cause I gonna write a little bit spoiler in the part of what I don't like

What I like:
+ The harsh reality of the industry. Both publishing and entertainment industry. We see how much Gene get pressure from his editor, even to put the things he didn’t want to write in the book. And later we also see how harsh the entertainment industry…
+ Nubsib, Gene & Aoey all have good manager that thinks for them not only for the industry.
+ The cute story of Gene & Nubsib past relationship.
+ What a supported Gene & Nubsib family…

Overall this just another title to added to my list...

Below I'll write what I don’t like. But that's also mean a little SPOILER ALERT!!! So read it with ur own risk!!!












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================



Now what I don’t like:
- Nubsib is one stubborn kind. The stubborn not always in good side. Like how he insisted his relationship with Gene, he even talked about break the contract. Some people maybe find it romantic, but for me that just scream irresponsible…
- I don’t understand why Gene angry with Nubsib, when he learned that they actually know each other from childhood. Nubsib never really mention he didn’t know Gene in the first place, why Gene must feel Nubsib lied to him & angry about it…
- Until the last I still don’t really get a grip of how Aoey character really is. Is he one cunning man? One man that looked for attention? Or what his character really is? I just know for sure he is one lonely man. Unfortunately, we also don’t get much of history of Aoey. There’s a little bit about him & I hope to see a little bit more of it.
- The ending… UGH!!! Feel like anticlimactic after what happen with Gene & Nubsib family.

My June 2024 Recommendation Challenge

Watch this for my June Recommendation Challenge by Muimui94. Ooff... What a ride.... Never I think watch a drama with so many meaningful things that we can adapt to our own life...

The story about one crazy teacher, Hiiragi Ibuki. 10 days before 3rd grade graduation, he gathers his students of class 3-A & end up take hostage of them. His purpose, to investigate the reason of the death of one of his student in class 3-A, Kageyama Reina. He bomb the school to barricade his students from outside world. And from there he launched his own way of investigation about Reina's death.

And by the end of the drama u'll end up understand. That Ibuki's purpose not simply to investigate the reason of Reina's death. But also to give his final lesson for students in class 3-A about their life & simple action that will affect their future & other people.

Below I'll gonna write what I can gathers or my thoughts about Ibuki's lesson day by day... Hope not too drift away from the drama. And I think this this time I write quite save review & not give spoiler about anything too...

Lesson 1: Be careful with ur thought (Kayano Sakura for thinking she killed Reina) & tongue (words sharper than knife)

Lesson 2: When u've lived ur life without listening to people's opinions, u've become a human who couldn't feel anything. Ur little action can corner someone until they feel no way out or make them feel at the highest happiness.

Lesson 3: When there's some obstacles in ur future, there're 2 way out, positive or negative. (+) You either not hating the obstacle or anything that make u jealous or regret about it, or u try ur hardest to beat the obstacle. (-) u put all ur negative thought to it, by become jealous with someone greater than u or hating anything that's obstruct ur way.

Lesson 4: U don't need to carry the burden urself. When u shared ur burden, there will be someone can help lift it up. What u need to do just ASK FOR HELP.

Lesson 5: U don't need to do shameful things or trampled on someone to moving forward or becoming what's ur best self.

Lesson 6: Whatever u put on the internet never go away.

Lesson 7: When people need guidance give it with genuine care & emphatic.

Lesson 8: Think carefully before u act. What we should do by putting ourself in other person's shoes

Lesson 9: If u get stabbed by knife, u'll feel the pain. But today society so busy with their busy life until don't notice those obvious things (the little thing that more hurtful than get stab by knife). The things we did to hurt others, if someone did it to us, would actually hurt us too. Once again putting ourself in other person's shoes.

Lesson 10: Be careful with ur fingers (on keyboard or cyber bullying).

Overall this really one good drama to watch. But be careful too, when ur not ready to watch this, it can stab u the wrong way...

There will be Thai adaptation of this drama, with one of the cutest couple of Thai BL. So since I want to comapre both of them, I decided to watch this first. And yes after watching this, I can imagine Fourth & Gemini as the chosen one. Haha...

But first thing first. Let's talk about this drama...

A story about the introvert Ida Kousuke & outgoing Aoki Sota. One day Aoki borrow eraser from his friend, Hashimoto Mio, that turn out on the eraser there's Ida's name & Ida saw it & the whole misunderstanding began...

At first Aoki like Mio and he heart broken cause Mio like Ida. Ida, who turn out to be a VERY SERIOUS person, think about Aoki's confession very seriously & also about his own feeling for Aoki. And upon time, cause this still romance drama, of course Aoki feeling toward Ida slowly change. And finally they become a couple.

And Aoki & Ida journey as a couple not really easy-going & happy-go-lucky all the time. It fill with a few prejudice & silly misunderstanding.

Ok that's about the story. Now what I like and don't like...

What I like:
+ The cute Aoki & 'stupid' Ida. Owh they the magic couple that we never imagine could click, but somehow work.
+ The cute and adorable 2nd couple. Just like jpny01, I also more like Aida Hayato and Hashimoto Mio story. Their story progression is really cute & adorable.
+ The very supportive friends, like Aida & Mio, also Mio club friends & Ida volleyball club friends that never judge Ida & Aoki.
+ They bring out a little bit about teacher prejudice. Like when the teacher just assume the worst when he see Aoki outside the hotel with a man.

What i don't like:
- Yeah like jpny01, I also start getting bored by the repetitive problem of Ida & Aoki. Really wonder how the Thai version gonna steer the plot....
- The coward Aoki. Until the end not so much change in Aoki's character. He still that coward boy. Although he said he didn't want anyone to know about his & Ida's relationship cause he afraid it effect Ida's team mate attitude toward Ida. But in my eyes it just Aoki cowardness, that make him afraid to face and acknowledge Ida as his boyfriend to the world.

Overall this one cute fluffy youth drama....

Dissapointed ending. SPOILER ALERT!!!

Have you ever lower the score cause the happy ending? Well this exactly what happen with me & this drama. The happy ending left sour taste in my mouth, forcing me to give this drama quite low score. For you who still don't understand & feel the need to ask... Yes this has HAPPY ENDING, but for me better leave this with the sad or open ending than this happy ending. Or just leave this like Hotel Del Luna kinda ending is still better....

As usual save review first. AKA what I like about this drama.
+ The chemistry between Kim You Jung & Song Kang.
+ The growth in character Do Do Hee (DH) & Jung Koo Won (KW). Like to see them falling with each other, start to care & built their relationships. As well we also can see how KW more & more human each time he get closer to DH.
+ Although KW is demon with all the power possible, he still need the help of Park Bok Kyu to do stuff for him. Like investigation etc...
+ The cute relationship between Shin Da Jeong & Park Bok Kyu. Never expected, yet no surprise see them as a couple,
+ Jin Ga Young, Joo Seok Hoon, Joo Chun Sook. Like all these character. They being normal human that show us we each has our selfishness in doing our things, yet they not so evil that willing to sell theirselves to evil to achieve something.
+ The most interesting thing this drama give us. The sad truth face of human. There's always 2 kind of people, when devil knock on ur door. 1st is like Joo Chun Sook, turn over when see the demon herself. The other is like the last person, after make a deal with the devil, but when the devil ask us for our part of our deal, still do everything possible to avoid it, even lying through our teeth....

Overall this just another drama to fill ur days... Below is SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
Now the sour taste in my mouth....
- They never really explained to us why Noh Suk Min want DH died. Or maybe just me missed it.... At first yeah maybe because of the inheritance, but later... WHY...? That's the point that I still don't understand.....
- Everything just end too beautifully. It's like the original plan is to close with sad ending, but someone just smash the table and scream I want HAPPY ENDING! And so here we are now... For me better close with KW still gone & the last reunion just happen in DH's dream. It's like KW said final goodbye to DH. It's more poetic & beautiful ending. Than this force, weird & ruinning happy ending.

The game continue...

This drama leave a strong impression in the first part. And for me this drama end it with strong point. With a little dissapointment in the end...

After Choi Yi Jae (YJ) learn the thread that connect all of his 'death' he started to plan for revenge & plan everything carefully... With the plan he also unravel the big conspiracy & corruption in the police department & other important government department. Make 'him' quite important for the public.

But the reality hit him hard when he dead once again & Death asked him: "Who is he...?" Yeah... In the end whose people recognize for doing all the stuff is not YJ himself, rather the 'man' he became. And after that everything start to collapse again & make YJ doubtful & once again don't give a sh*t about his life.

YJ only start to really think about everything in the last 2 of his chance. When everything became so interesting to watch.... And in the end he finally understand what Death mean by my death remained behind with those who loved me.

By reading other review I also realize this controversial topic to begin with. With no mean to minimize all people that have depression & think about ending their life. I think this drama deliver important messages for them too... "As i disappeared from this world, my death remained behind with those who loved me"

Not only about romance

Watch this as part of our sky series. Long time heard about the good story, now that I've watched this, must admit this is a good story telling with good chemistry from the lead.

Alongside My School President this is maybe the 2nd save BL drama that I've watched. Nothing intimacy, not even a kiss until the last ep. This gonna be perfect if only they not joke about in the last scene...

This drama talk more about life lesson than romance. But the eye contact and a slight physical contact between Phupha Viriyanon (PV) & Tian Sopasitsakun (TS) is talk more than any other steamy scene. I'm not familiar with both actor, but if anyone tell me they're real couple in real life I gonna believe them.

The life lesson we can learn from this drama:
* It's harder to forgiving than apologizing, especially when we need to forgive ourselves. Like TS guilt feeling for Torfun.
* Sometimes you have to experience thing to find our your goal / meaning of something. Like TS experience the life as a teacher.
* Acceptance can be found from everywhere. Like all the people in the village that welcom TS & all the teacher with open heart.
+ When life close the door for you, they always open the window. Haha... Like the problem villagers had with the mafia & their tea leaves...

But of course almost every drama has each stupid plot. And this is no exception.
The stupid plot:
- The way PV & TS's parent force TS to back home. I mean they can ask him nicely. Just tell him his mom misses him & want to see her son. I guess TS can go home for brief moment, like holiday & come back again, right...? Although a few times they explained it & give impression that TS's parent not gonna allowed him to be back. But being the loving parent they are, eventually they'll gonna give up & just allow TS to be back. See... Stupid plot

Except the stupid plot the minus things about this drama:
- One of the most obvious products placement adv. Haha... Sometimes it so silly & forced....
- Further inspection after many times re-watch, i just realized many times how they edit the scene is so obvious they shoot in different shot. Haha... Like in the first ep, epilogue scene, suddenly the room is bright with light. Haha...
- We lack the explanation from PV side after they separated. Suddenly PV just like having change of heart

Overall this one green flag drama & save drama for you who's looking for anything without steamy scene. The only steamy scene is the bath scene & open chest by PV. Hehe...

A little frustrated with the ending

Interesting story about detective, mystery & martial art worlds that collide together. Not much mystery story that can be part ways from politic, but this drama although not completely part ways, you can still tell they're not really glue together like the usual way.

Really like to see Cheng Yi act outside his usual character, where he usually play cold with limit or even no expression man, here we can see more expression from Cheng Yi together with his outgoing & aloof character. Together with childish character of Joseph Zeng, they make beautiful combination of partner and more addition of Xiao Shun Yao in the end make the group complete with quite interesting character to watch.

Really interesting to see how the story evolve in the drama. How they unraveled the secret a little by little so in the end all make sense. But sometimes I must say it's also kinda uninterested to see the case seems unrelated to each other, it's like they forcing the case to be there in the first place, just to make the story about cases & they work solving the case together.

Really admire the characteristic of Li Lian Hua, how he's in the end released forgiveness for who already did him wrong, kinda let go feeling before he face his death. But still how many of us can say people from martial world have that relieved feeling to forgive all of that wronged them, usually they only talk about taking revenge...

But in the end this drama leave unsatisfied feeling in my heart about the ending. Kinda hope we have more clear about the ending,... The special episode also not much of a help. Don't know why they bothered to make the special episode... :(

Long time not found very enjoyable historical drama. This drama make me laugh & cry with them.

The story start from a girl named Liu Yu Ru (YR) that comes from business family, that even though she is the legitimate daughter, but her father prefer & more love her step sisters (from Concubine). So from the injustice in her home, she plans her future life where she can married to good family so she can support her mom, Ye family is her goal. But life turn upside down when she meet Gu Jiu Si (JS), a playful rich man, that never have consequence for his action including everything that come out from his mouth. As the result, YR find herself engaged to JS in the end. And their story begin.... ^^

At first of course YR try to avoid her destiny to married to JS, but in the end she accept her fate & finally she even manage to change JS. Her action of course supported by JS's parent that also want to see their son change into better man. Mean while there's a man in the shadow that ready to turn their world upside down, together with the changing politic in the capital city, that make Gu family loses their support. In this drama we see how support from family & friend, together with clever & smart decision from YR & JS make their journey full of story that we can watch together. Haha...

What I like:
+ What I really like about YR is what ever life give her, she take it, try her best & sometimes even punch life back in its face. Haha... Really like how in the end she really can stand & make the power for herself.
+ The chemistry between Bai Jing Ting & Song Yi quite good. Love to see they love each other, not to the point lovey dovey but enough for us to feel their love for each other.
+ Bai Jing Ting give us good performance for JS. We can sense that even though people see him as aloof rich man, but he is kind man & later on we can see how he grow up become smart & mature man.
+ All the friendship JS, Ye Shi An, Zhou Ye & Shen Ming is one solid friend, they willing to do their best to support their friend. We also have Fan Xuan & Zhou Gao Lang, (the emperor & his right hand man) even though in the end they kinda grow apart, but that also one lifetime friendship.
+ How love never make people stupid here. Like even though Luo Zi Shang (ZS) love YR, but he never stop or even pause his plan even for the sake of YR herself.
+ We can see the strong woman here. Like YR & Ye Yun (YY). How YY herself also turn herself around after what Wang Shan Quan did to her.

Now the minus:
- They never really give the deep background of our villain, ZS, Never at least until the last episode we finally understand why he did it & where the grudge come from. And that just one stupid misunderstanding in the end,
- The obsession of Fan Yu to become emperor never really explained. His swift in the character is the one that make my eyebrow raised the most. I know this not a story about him, so we don't get too much explanation about him. maybe if the episode longer we gonna get some explanation about this. But I mean how a boy that at one time really trust, adore JS & I can say a good kind hearted boy can change to become jealous, sentiment and all the obsession about the throne itself. Maybe the explanation lays in the last interaction between him & his father, where we can see how hurt he is that his father is more trust JS than him as his son.

Overall this really one good drama that I enjoy very much...

Finally finished with this drama. Really happy to see Wang Yu Wen pairing up with Wang Zi Qi again. Haha... Always love their chemistry. Number one advantage by paring old couple is we can see how comfort they are with each other. Hehe...

The story nothing new. Old couple separated because of misunderstanding, although this time not because silly misunderstanding. While they're separated, the woman (Min Hui (MH)) become pregnant & having child. They met 5 years later & the man (Xin Qi (XQ)) find out that he has a child. & their journey begin....

This is a story about how a man fight for the love & trust from his partner. The separation 5 years ago begin from misunderstanding & trust issue from XQ. And 5 years later this still become thorn in the flesh in their relationship. XQ has to fight to win not only trust from MH, but also his son (Min Quan Quan (QQ)). Fortunately the last problem (QQ trust & love) is easier gain than the first (MH trust issue) & later on QQ will be his companion to win MH heart...

This drama also talk about sexual harassments that woman receive in office environment. They solved it with braveness from the victims & support from all the employee / friends.

What lack from this drama for me maybe only 1. How severe XQ heart disease actually is...? We get several clue that it's really dangerous one, he collapse & all the doctor visit. But they never really tell us how severe it actually is... Yeah yeah I know, that not the important part of the story. But I just want to know. Haha...

Overall this really one good easy rom com to enjoy. No angst or irrational jealousy, just a very enjoyable watch....
