one confusing short drama

Watch this for my 2022 Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge. Expect nothing much but good comedy and decent plot. But unfortunately even I only expect that 2 from this drama, still it can't deliver.

Fair warning... I will gonna complain a lot & give a full blown about the plot. If you don't want to know just skip my review then...

*************************************************************************************************************************







What a confusing plot. At first episode we already face with the statement: "I'm Liang Wei Wei, without reason I'm becoming a queen in costume drama." And the next scene come the consort & she make love with our king & murderer happen the next day.... HELLO.... What the hell happen? Who is Liang Wei Wei (WW)? We get a glimpse that she maybe comes from the future through phone. But where the hell is our explanation? And WW herself not even confuse with the whole thing that happen, she knows that even she died she will in the loop where the day will gonna repeat itself...? HOW.....?!

And the end also What The Hell....????!!! What happen with the glitch that happen to our king...? And the final where she get out from the 'drama' how the hell she know....

Don't make me even start with the uncle. Is he bad...? Did he really do everything for our king...? Or maybe he himself that really want to rebelled....?

UGH... What a really confusing plot.

But how ever I really like our king in the end. How he fall in love with WW, gain trust of her. & their chemistry quite good.

If only this drama have more decent plot of how WW got into the drama I really gonna give quite high rating, because yeah like Archem099 wrote everything quite there. The romance, the story, the politics. Really unfortunate it has very very confusing plot that explained nothing....

Watch the trailer in YT but forget about it & don't know the title, finally found it when searching for movie that I want to watch.

Really like the brotherhood between Sky Ko & Paul Ahn. From the trailer itself I can sense they never really fight with the grudge between each other. But only healthy competition between them.

But this movie have some loopholes that not quite make sense, maybe because this just movie so they have shorter duration to explained all:
- The betrayal of Mayo. Not enough explanation through the movie. Where's the ambition comes from, so sudden.
- And although I really like the end where Sky Ko just walk out the stage. But the end just like leaving some more question than answer.
- The stupid owner of stellar restaurant. Just complete jerk & out of place.

Overall this is one good movie about healthy competition & brotherhood. Really hope this can make into drama, so we can get more elaborate about some of the things...

one unique pampered girl

Watch the trailer in YT but forget about it & don't know the title, Finally found it when searching for movie that I want to watch.

Quite intrigue when I see the FL, so pampered yet suddenly she like got surprises when after married she live like a normal person. But I really adored Oriyama Karin for not complaining her situation at all. Yeah she explode only once the day after married & make Tsuruki Nao realize how pampered she actually is. But after that not once she complaining, she walk on with her life like nothing really changing. And her word about what's wrong falling in love with someone base on their look really crack me up... Yeah we sometimes so hypocritical when we like someone only because of their look, but isn't we usually fall on someone based on their look, then we go forward to their personality, etc...

Quite confusing with Karin's dad actually. Why he must put Karin & Nao in that ordinary house? Is it request from Nao or what...? I think at first her dad really gonna just let Karin & Nao live with their own life, not care for Karin anymore, just some allowance (that 100,000 yen). But turn out no, he still care & want to involved in her daughter life. So why he must put Karin & Nao in that ordinary house? And what about the predecessor...? Who is he, what his connection to Nao...? And above all why must NAO become his son in law...?

Overall this really one unique movie with unique character that worth ur time to watch.

What's the meaning of waiting

Watch this for 2022 Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge. In the end I quite enjoy the show.

I think like mostly people who wrote the review here, I also find this drama quite predictable, cliché & nothing too special & quite frankly a huge plot holes. But actually this drama still can give us quite a surprise in the end. Let's talk drama!

What I can predict:
* The villain behind the Gu An Xin (AX) sufferings all that year. But unfortunately until the end they never really discus the main reason why she did it. But my guess is money, AX's dad quite loaded overall.
* The story happen too fast. And if story happen too fast in the beginning only one meaning. Our main lead will suffer in the end. Haha....

What surprise:
* The villain behind Ling's family. Never expected him to be a bad guy. But yeah I can imagine being in his shoes & but still it doesn't justify what he did.

Plot holes:
Well not really plot holes actually. Maybe more like unfinished business or question they still left behind.
- Like I wrote earlier. The reason of the villain behind the Gu An Xin (AX) sufferings all that year.
- Ling Yue is adopted child or not. There're some hint. But never really clear of is it yes or not. If yes what his story then... Why his dad need to adopted him...?

The minus:
- Too much story involve. They don't really finished the exist plot but instead they must added with the story involving Ling's family. What I mean? Well it's gonna be better if they finished the story of AX & LY that I already wrote earlier.
- Too much couple. Well I like when they have found their match, but this just like pushing the forcing button, where they think everyone must have couple to be complete.
- Break up that doesn't really makes sense. Well when AX & LY break up for the very short time, the reason behind it doesn't really quite makes sense & the reason for their reunification even make more nonsense. LOVE of course what else. See the separation, for me, only to added more duration.

The plus:
+ The chemistry between our couple quite fit. Quite like the interaction between Zhao Lu Si & Lie Te.
+ The logical LY. Even though he cold, over bearing boss. But he still listen to AX complain when she protest about how LY arrange everything for her.
+ Even though too much couple, but everyone partner also quite fit with themselves.

Overall apart from all the minus and plot holes this actually quite enjoyable drama. That's why I still give it 7* rating

Continuing story

The most interesting character from Untamed from me is Wen Ning (WN). That's why I decided to watch this movie.

The story is much more make sense than the untamed for me. But the ending quite disappointed for me. Why when Xiao Yi (XY) already got 'forgiveness' from Xiao Qing, must Lan Si Zhui (SZ) slam him again, that makes WN give him such punishment. The punishment itself maybe quite make sense, I just don't like the way SZ put XY down like that....

Quite like to see the interaction between Wen Ning & Lan Si Zhui, feel they kinda grow up from the untamed time, not so childish or naive again... But however we still can see they still our beloved character form the untamed

Overall this just another adventure for Wen Ning & Lan Si Zhui

made with good intentions with a lot of but

Watch this because I mistake our FL with Guan Xiao Tong, she's really similar with her. But in the end i quite enjoy watching this drama.

This drama made with very good intention, to make woman appreciate herself no matter what her body size. But the plot overall quite messy. Agree with jonjees, you really need not to look the loopholes in the plot to survive or complete this series.

The minus:
- The bad guy half baked. Like I mean what happen with Gao Quan, he just suddenly capture like that. Rebecca suddenly just change her heart. & lastly also Ni Hao just finished like that...
- the play of cat & mouse, how both our woman (Zhen Yuan Yuan (Eva) & Luo Yi Ren (YR)) really like to play cat & mouse with their partner.
- Once more they swept away the fear so easy. I mean the Xiao Nan (XN) fear of heigh can be cure be just like that. Especially if like XN himself said it's trauma. I don't think trauma or fear can that easily be cured....
- The man not respect the woman opinion. Like when Eva said to Ruan Dong Shen (DS) that she need space to turn herself back to thin body. Yeah I know you can argue he mean well, that no matter what she become he will stay by herself. But please that woman already tell you her opinion, please at least respect her for it.
- Some feel happen a little too sudden or fast. Like the way Eva accept her balloon illness and suddenly ready to tell the world about it.
- The unfortunate ending. Really like when Eva finally accept herself by telling the world that she really has that balloon illness. But the scene at the spa proof one more that she still care about her image. 大姐 you already tell the world about you can become fat, and you already accept the fat you, but in the end you still afraid about seeing with your big body. Aiyo.... Really hope that scene does not exist, or maybe even better if they show us that in the end Eva really don't care that she can be fat and keep drink that juice.
- Not clear how or what feeling Eva has to feel to heal DS tasting senses. Unfortunately from the very beginning there's no clear reason for how to heal DS tasting sense. Like what feel that make DS can taste sweet, salt, or any other sense, we just know like always jealousy taste sour. It will be very good if they make it more clear what feeling heal what taste. And in the end is all DS tasting senses heal or not also not clear, and about his intention to restore his dad cooking till the end also no result. Like the writer completely forget about that part of story.

Well all the drama also have plus point:
+ The positive intention that every one must love themselves.
+ The love that DX has for Eva. He loves her no matter what her body size.
+ Tell the story what will someone do if they know their life is about to end. I mean for YR. When she thinks she got diagnosed with death illness she completely change herself. & funnily after she learn that she mistaken about her illness, that when all the shame coming to her... Hehe...
+ The friendship between Eva & SN. One more proof to the world friendship between man & woman do exist.

Overall the message this drama want to tell us really good. But unfortunately it's poorly writen....

ordinary life

One drama that really picturing the ordinary life of police station. We often got police drama that at the end all talk about that 1 big case & the story toward or surrounding that big case. But not this drama, this drama really give us about what police have to deal or sometimes endure in their daily routine.

The good thing about this drama:
+ we can see what the struggle police have to deal with people or politic.
+ no love interest between our cast, although we already see a little bit spark between Li Da Wei (DW) & Xia Jie (XJ) at the end.
+ Police still human, at the end they have their family issue or pride play the part.

The bad, that truthfully quite make me bored at the beginning:
- Too many ordinary and little case
- No love interest. Hehe... At the end I'm still one big romance girl, I kinda hope they starting the spark bigger.
- XJ's mom almost make me stop watching. Almost can't bear her being so annoying.
- Once again with the bad side being in Asia Family, where u can really feel what 'blood is ticker than water' have truly meaning. Like DW's dad being that bad, but in the end his mom still want to connect him with his dad with the word 'he is your father'.

Overall this is good drama to represent police forces in my opinion. I heard they already plan for season 2. Don't know will I watch the season 2 or not.

many magical thing happen here

Waiting for that OG drama to be finished decided to watch this, another seven tan drama. This drama surpass my expectation, I really having fun watch this drama.

Ok many magical thing happen here, magical & sometimes quite funny but sometimes just plainly ridiculous just for the sake of funny scene or just old trope or the most ridiculous just to make our actress & actor still good looking.. hoho... Let me explain in below.

Here the list:
* The most ridiculous magical thing that happen through out the drama is..... all of our swimmer cast hair almost always still intact & dry after just come out of the swimming pool... They come out of the swimming pool, put on their training uniform & the hair is dry.,... Especially Qi Rui Feng (RF), sometimes his hair even already gel ready. Magic right... hahaha...
* in ep 9 when Yun Duo (YD) have to sleep in boys dorm for the night, Tang Yi Bai (YB) & RF have to sleep in another room, ok that makes sense, the one that doesn't makes sense is to let 2 boys sleep in the 1 bed together, while it's the fact that they have BUNK BED & the upside of the bed is empty.... Hahaha... They do that just for the funny & old trope in the morning....
* most the friendship have trouble just for the sake of opposite sex, like YD & Cheng Mei (CM) have problem just because Lin Zi or Ou Yang Heng & YB just because Lin Sang & the problem relatively easy to solved, especially between YD & CM, if what CM do to YD happen to me I'll not gonna so easy forgive CM no matter how close I am to CM, how can I trust her ever again...
* The just wake up Lin Sang, after coma for 4 year, can just casually walk around, even until YD office, but in the next scene we see she must using wheel chair & must train her body too...

What I like:
+ I really like how instantly YD & YB fall in love in here. From the first scene they eyes already tell us love & admiration. Tan Song Yun & Xiong Zi Qi chemistry quite fit, I can imagine they as a couple.
+ I really like our second couple. RF & Xiang Yang Yang is one funny couple. They are the classic couple, tease each other but also the best supporter & protector for each other
+ the quote: many thing would become better with the time, but only regrets won't be disappear with time
+ YB mom is so funny, but unfortunately she disappear in the some last episode... :(
+ Tan Song Yun costume quite cute & pretty. I sometimes not notice the costume that our cast wear through out the drama, but here her dress quite catch my attention.

Overall I quite happy to find this drama. Sometimes old drama is better than new one. :p

why...? :(

I quite like this drama than other series of Dr. Qin that I've already watch or peek. The other drama yes Qin Ming (QM) himself quite quirky but I find myself quite bored with the drama itself. In here they give QM his love interest & QM not as quirky as in the other series because of that, this drama also not as dark as the other series, and I love that different. the chemistry between Zhang Yu Jian & Zhou Yu Tong quite good. I can see them as lover. And I really like to see Zhang Yu Jian act so childish sometimes in here.

And the case in here in my opinion quite close to reality. I mean we often see in police drama that each case solved than they continue to other, but I don't think that the reality right...? Because police usually can't just wait for one case solved to move to another, because there are also other case that need to be solved. In here there were serial murder from the first, but the case not just stop with it, they have other case also in the middle of that serial murder case.

But why in the end they not make QM & Lin Dang (LD) as a couple still a mystery. Is it only because of the book...? Do we need to read the book to understand this...? That the bad news that this drama have.

Overall quite satisfied with this drama, really hope can see in the future when QM will gonna meet LD again & to see their relationship continue from this point.

Slave of love

The right title for this drama is supposed to be slave of love. Because of all of the couples here, one of them is gonna be the victim of a slave of love.

I enjoy the ride, I laugh and cry with them. But that can't cover what is lacking in this drama.

If you jump in this drama really hoping to see women in action in the programming world of course you're gonna be disappointed. This is just another romance fluffy drama with a lot of insistence. The most famous quote in this drama is that persistence brings miracles. Well... That's not always the case, sometimes it only happens in the drama world.

We have 3 stupid couple with crazy though of love. Our nominated couple:
1. Jiang Yi Cheng (YC) & Lu Li (LL). LL is just stupid girl that I really want to slap her at first to get her back to her sense. Thanx God she finally can snap back to reality & given YC his own lesson. But for me in the end she still too easy to forgive & forget.
2. Chen Yi Ming (YM) & Jiang Zi Tong (ZT). ZT is one very stubborn woman. I don't know to classify her as stupid or just plain woman. It's kind a miracle I think when someone can change their feeling toward other from sister to woman, very unlikely it's gonna be happen. And she just wait persistencely, what if he never change his feeling & just find another woman....
3. Gu Xiao Qi (XQ) & Gu Mo (GM). GM is really one stupid man. I can't find another word for describe him. He just secretly love with XQ & just do anything possible to make XQ be single... If that's in reality maybe it's actually kinda creepy or maybe once more it's like Lily and Marshal said in 'How I met your mother,' if you like them it became endearing if you don't like them it become creepy.

And we also have cute couple of...
4. The parent (YC & LL). The dads is the one we said afraid of his wife, but in this case is not because of fear instead because of love. They are also one victim of slave of love ?. But i really love the interaction of YC parent...

Overall this just one stupid fluffy romance. Watch it if that's what u like. Nothing missing if u not watch it though

Another open ending

This is the second time I can imagine person as an animal. Xu Xu (XX) is fit perfectly as a snail, but unfortunately except XX actually no one is fit with the animal image this drama want. Like Yao Meng (YM), for me she more like cheetah than a pig, I don't know am I get the influence from kungfu panda or what, but I simply can't imagine YM as a pig.

Actually as detective drama, this drama at first will gonna confuse you with the plot which all over the place. The story like have no connection with one and the other at first just simply like being force together. But turn out everything much more complicated that what I guess at first. And the dark setting no help at all. I got confuse with all the people, sometimes I remember wrong or just reverse one and the other.

This drama of course also tell the story of how our couple just simply being together. I really like how YM explained to XX about her feeling toward Ji Bai (JB). JB himself we don't really get the answer why or how he can fall for XX. But in my opinion it's maybe one of the most male chauvinism reason, he just simply find the woman that really need his protection & he is really happy & willing to protect :)

What lack:
- Once more where is our timeline :(. From the accident in the Laos border until the wedding of YM, how long it already pass...
- The romance between YM & Zhao Han (ZH). Just simply press to be together. Yeah we got the feeling YM will gonna be with ZH, but how & how long... Is it just simply because they the one left behind so they just got closer...?? Weird right. Maybe if there was the timeline it will help a little :(
- What the most unfortunate for me is the comic... Why...? Why...? Why...? They the hell they don't show us the complete picture of the comic, just simply a little bit here & there :(.

Overall: This is one of good detective drama. The plot still about the crime, romance not too exaggerate. But the best of course not. Oh yeah the ending is an open ending with peeking of probable next journey. But because it's 2016 drama, I think we will not gonna get the continue of this drama...

What yours always be yours

This drama definitely give the vibes what yours always be yours. I'm not talking only about our main couple, that's of course must be together in the end, but also other couple like Yuan Yuan & Jin Xiao Rui also Xu Xiao Dong (XD) aunt (Xiao Yi Ma (YM)) and the scientist.

This drama have one of the most peaceful ending with the antagonist Wei Xuan He. Quite the opposite with other reviewer here who wrote don't like the ending, I really like the ending. Even though maybe it's quite cruel to the original XD, who she spend the most time here. But I really think that's the best ending this drama can get. It will gonna have no meaning if she keep repeating the life, isn't the why she's given the choice by 'universe'. If I'm the one in Lei Chu Xia (CX) shoes I'll gonna choose the same choice.

In here we'll meet again another crazy stupid woman who'll gonna do anything in the name of love. Oh I'm not talking about CX of course. What I mean is of course Qin Yue. She is just stupid woman, but in the end her insistence is payed off.

The chemistry between Ju Jing Yi & Zheng Ye Cheng quite ok I guess. Not the best but not awkward also. But compare to other couple here I more like the other couple actually. It's just more cute & adorable. Especially YM and the scientist (I forgot their name ^.^), really funny to see how at first the scientist really afraid of YM but in the end he also kneel to love & attraction.

I really like the ending that's why I give this drama a little higher score, at the beginning I plan just to give max 7.5 ^_^.

Overall this one good drama to watch.

beautiful ending

Our drama with 2 period time finally come to end. Of course with + & - of their own.

Ok. Lets talk about what i love:
+ Shi Yi (SY) is one crazy woman. She just jump to accept the proposal from Zhou Sheng Chen (SC) without much consideration or known him better. And with all the complication in SC family she still dare to stand beside him. If that's me maybe I already considering & run away as far as I can :p.
+ Really love the chemistry between Bai Lu & Allen Ren here. They like made for each other.
+ Very funny to see how SY teach SC about how to coax her. A man who confuse with how to coax woman can learn from this drama. Yeah not every woman is exactly like that, but you get the big picture. :p
+ Love to see how SY & SC support & protect each other.
+ No love rival. Yeah SC family complicated enough so they don't add love rival anymore :p
+ Love to see there is family that still have old traditional family like SC family.
+ Allen Ren smile a lot in here... He doesn't smile much in his other drama that I've watch. His smile actually quite sweet.

What minus but actually not really too much bothering me:
- Why they like to rush the ending again....? I mean SY just wake up from i don't know for goddamn long time, but a little too good to be true, she already can talk, can stand even can just walk like a normal person.
- Where is our time stamp.... From the moment SY coma, she wake up until their wedding we don't know how long it already pass...
- Hoping to see SY really dream. In here the dream not really much shown, it's like not that important, while the summary state the opposite. If only they like having more than few flash back of One & only scene.
- They only cast Bai Lu & Allen Ren for both drama, I think will gonna be more interesting if they have some several cast from the past life so we can see several other people reincarnated together....
* actually don't know better or not, if only the crown prince also reincarnated together & become sort of the love rival, yeah maybe the story will gonna be more complicated if like that, that's why I said I don't know better or not.

Overall: This 2 piece of drama really beautiful in the end. The drama that worth your time to watch. Really love all the song too...

The wind of change brought by gentleman and woman

Waiting for that OG drama to be finished air I decided to watch this drama.

I quite like it. Even though this drama has its + & - point of its own. But as the drama to help me fill the free time this sure is one easy going drama.

The plus point:
+ The brotherhood of all student. Really like the atmosphere of brotherhood of all the student. They make really strong bond upon many hardship they have to endure together. We also can say they become each other’s family.
+ no crazy love rival or jealousy
+ Really like the cunning Yu Le Xuan
+ The behavior of Feng Cheng Jun (CJ) after he see Xue Wen Xi (WX) as a woman is simply just funny & adorable.
+ Once more we can see when we surround by good people we also will gonna be better as a person.

The minus point:
- Recently some of the drama I've been watch like having fast forward button in the end. This drama is no exception. Like the ending after Han Zheng Liang crime out in public what happen with him & his family, isn't usually for his kind of crime all the family will gonna be execute, but here we still can see Han Shu Min as a free woman in the end, so is it only Han Zheng Liang get to be punished....?
- The way WX falling in love with CJ is just simply weird.
- The moment when CJ realize WX is woman is like missing something. It's simply just too plain maybe.
- Not only with CJ, actually when everyone see WX dress as a women is simply their expression just too plain. Like they are not surprise at all.
- The chemistry between Ju Jing Yi & Song Wei Long itself I can't feel it. Maybe I can only say they form friendship bond, but as a couple...? No, not really...
- All the issue of the past generation, about WX dad, is simply just weird and forced to be an issue.

Overall... upon all the + & - point this still a good drama to help you fill the free time.

I endure it

Funny story... When answering one of the questionnaires made by QnABuddy about the character has made you almost give up following a drama, at first I really have no answer, because usually it is the opposite with me, the actress/actor made me hang on to the drama that almost make me give it up. But not long after I answered this questionnaire I got my answer for this question. Yun Shu voice in here quite annoying at first for me, my apologies for her fans, I don't know is that her real voice or dub, but that voice quite bothering me. But upon good story & many said this is one good drama, I decided to keep continue watching & in the end I'm quite happy with my decision.

This is classic story about emotionless man & casual woman, really like the Chinese title, 完美先生和差不多小姐 really fits the character. Many said Miles Wei in this drama & Unforgettable Love is quite the same. But I like him here more than in Unforgettable Love, maybe because he has more chemistry with Xu Ruo Han than with Hu Yi Xuan.

Really funny to see Zhang Si Nian (SN) do calculations about his relationship with Yun Shu (YS), especially when he tries to explain to Lin Chu Chu using math.

YS is one positive woman with a lot of courage. Although she is also a woman who is too innocent until sometimes too stupid & easy to be fooled. But sometimes the world needs one sincere person to balance this messy world. That's why she is also easy to make men interested to her.

Overall this one good drama to spend your days with.
