Watch this because of Chen Xiao, but turn out I enjoy it more than I expected.This drama talk about friendship, family, politic and of course love.... Take place where they still underestimate woman, especially if they come from entertainment background, like Zhao Pan Er (PE) & Song Yin Zhang (YZ). Yeah sometimes they have a very thin line to separate performer with prostitute. This story revolve around how PE and her friends make different, talk about feminism.
What I like:
+ I really like the point of view that Zhang Hao Hao take, if you proud enough with your status, no matter people how look it, it still one very proud profession, but also vise versa if you think it's something shameful it will become shameful.
+ The chemistry between Chen Xiao & Liu Yi Fei. I really like how Gu Qian Fan (QF) see PE. We can see how deep their feeling toward each other.
+ How to separate past & future. Especially when it's about revenging your father died. Really like the point of view PE take, usually with c-drama family problem is big problem, and when other family murder must get revenge.
+ The growth of our girls, especially Song Yin Zhang. We can see in our screen one immature girl turn into mature woman.
What I don't like:
- How they shape the bad guy, Ou Yang Xu.
- How perfect looking for PE. It's like she is one complete package that everyone eventually grow to like her.
- The pulling & pushing between PE & QF.
Overall this is one good historical drama. but it think I quite agreed with some reviewer who wrote the story have nosedive in the end. Somehow I also feel this have quite meaningless end, it's like they lack something when they close the curtain....

For me the dependency between Wen Heng (WH) & Yan Xi (YX) quite hard to grab. OK maybe they just find the right person at the right time. Like when WH just find new environment & family, where she still not belong, YX give her place of belong or their word 'home'. But being depressed & wait for him to come back all that years kinda BS. And after that the turn over kinda too fast too....
And also YX being depressed & got PTSD just because he see his mom suicide is also kinda BS. & the time he need to recover himself quite long.... I more buy the story in the drama summary, where YX got cancer & have to go to America. It's better I think
Yeah I know this is a movie & everything kinda happen so fast. Really hopping I can watch the drama version & finger cross the drama cast won't disappoint me.

happy sad ending
From the synopsis you already know this one will gonna be 'sad ending' for both our main lead. But the journey toward the ending is so real & kinda sad but still beautiful. But in the end this is still a happy ending for our couple.Yeah their love story is so real & deep. Especially their break up story it's really so deep & real. What you consider light word is sometimes cut deeply into someone heart & more hurtful than a mouthful full of sharp words, especially if that said by someone important for us. Sometimes other drama the word like that doesn't consider as something as important as in here & not become the reason to break up or maybe gonna make them fight but still get back together at the end because love & everything else more important than the 'light' word.
Actually even Zhou Xiao Qi (XQ) doesn't said it. I'll gonna wonder is the fact that XQ never ever regret about the accident. Even though we still can see how happy they are together. But the fact still hanging in the air just wait to drop like a bomb...
I also really like when You Yong Ci (YC) dare to admit that she is a women that never feel safe. & it's really cut deep when XQ the one she put the trust wholeheartedly hurt her just like that. If that me, yeah I also can't possibly jump over that word & just forget & forgive everything. I also will gonna make the same decision with her.
In the end just like XQ word: "In the end don't know which one is worse, never have it or ever have but lose it."

jackie chan movie without action
I think this is the first time I've watched jackie chan without action or funny scene in his movie. This is very deep movie about everyone in their life intersection.Really like what jackie said in this movie, everyone who wrote to him is already have map, we just don't know where we stand in that map. Every one who write to him just need a push to make the block in their heart disappear.
Although sometimes I don't really like the back and forth timeline like in here, but everything is difference in their own timeline to differentiate it not difficult.
This one movie that give me goosebumps after watching this. If they decided to make drama out of this I definitely watch that drama. Definitely watch the Japanese version to compare both of them :D

watch this make me wanna try play mobile legend ^_^
So excited I finally can watch this drama. One of the drama that I really can't wait for this to finish all the episode, turn out this drama not disappoint me at all. Really satisfied with this drama.This drama really make me wanna try play mobile legend, because I really don't understand the game at all so I really can't excited enough about the game in this drama. But I really satisfied with CGI inside the game.
Xu Kai really handsome here, especially when he is smile... OMG my heart is melting.... Really love how the couple here treat their girl, Lu Si Cheng (SC) & also Ai Jia (AJ). Love the way SC became so soft with Tong Yao (TY), in his expression or in his action, how he love teasing TY until how he protect TY. Really love how AJ protect Chen Jin Yang (JY) from his fans & impressed how mature & sarcasm JY attitude when she's being harass by AJ fans
Really glad in the end this still mostly about game drama, so no silly love rival or jealousy or romance more than necessary. Really funny how every time it must be Xiao Pang who became the first eyewitness of every step of SC & TY relationship.
Yeah sometimes we really don't understand what is e-sport, we only see it as a game, if like go go squid (CTF) maybe we can still see it can be useful, but if e-sport totally about game like this really hard to see as a profession, yeah yeah I know I have old school mind. But in here we can see e-sport like other sportsman, dedication is a must & we must appreciate the people in it.
Overall: This is really one good game & romance drama. But yeah the ending really make us want to scream SECOND SEASON PLEASEEEEE!!!!! ^_^ Cross my finger if there will be really second season it's gonna about them conquer the world championship, not like go go squid & their second season :P.

Read the story line, see Liang Jie as the main cast intrigue my interest to watch. The story itself really intriguing. A man who never tell lie... Hm... Catchy right. Lets watch... B)This drama about: love can makes us be better or worst person. No matter how good we try to cover our lie it will come to light & how lie can effect or hurt the people we lie to. Family and pride which one is more important...
In Xu Yi Ren (YR) and Fang Zhi You (ZY) case, they make each other better. ZY from can't tolerate people who lie, slowly began understand there is something behind every lie. YR from often lie, began encourage herself to become truthful.
But in case He Yu Wen (YW) the love become so ugly, only to bring the worst of her to surface. What YR said is so true. YW love at the end not really love but maybe because she doesn't want to lose to YR... What do you think...? ;)
Never find out people more selfish than He Yu Qing & her mother. Really selfish without needing to explain.
By the way for you and drama that always said: 'if only i met you first meet i will be the one for you.' This drama have the answer for you. Even though a little bit cheesy but what YR said is true. It's not about who you meet first, but who your destiny is... ;)
What i like:
- ZY is sometimes really stupid, but so adorable.... Especially when he drunk
- At the end of each episode there is drawing of the drama.
- Fang shi yu is so cute, smart & adorable
- Li Zhe (LZ) not a stupid man who will do anything in the name of love
- ZY & LZ in become friend again in the end
Overall: very good drama to watch, but not to re-watch...

Novoland: The Castle in the Sky - Time Reversal
3 people found this review helpful
But the feeling of Fang Qi Wu (FQW) toward FR itself for me quite confusing. Just suddenly FQW fell in love & the moment of truth when she realize who FR is she did not look shock enough. Maybe if this become drama series will be more elaborate and clear.
But overall what this movie want to achieve, which is for me to make us more understand FR, is successfully obtained.

Really excited when i see the sequel of this drama. Still looking forward for the 3rd season. ^_^A little disappointed why they change the story line from the season one. Why not continue... Even though the season 1 ending already give a little peak of how season 2 suppose to start. Maybe because they still want to fight over the orb while in the season 1 the orb already open and become one with Qu Xiao Tan (QXT) so the story can't go much forward from it. But in the end i quiet like how in this season Mo Lian Cheng (MLC) show his love to QXT.
Really like the ending of season 2 where they married and so cute toward each other. Really hoping the season 3 they continue the story from season 2 and not change it again like from season 1 to 2. Really curious the connection between their child and the orb... ^_^
Season 1 & 2 the most pity person is always Mo Yi Huai. He's not doing anything wrong, he only love Qu Tan Er but their fate must be like this... In season 1 yeah he did something so wrong that make me want to killed him. But in this season, where he became crazy in the end, so pitiful.
Really happy when they are not changing the cast at all from season 1 to 2. Hopping there isn't any changing in the season 3
Which one I like more season 1 or 2? I still have to give the glass to the season 1. Season 1 more funny and joyful to watch. I loved to re-watch the season 1 from begin to end, but with season 2 only several episode or maybe even several scene. B)

Too long but quite enjoyable
Watch this by picking the random number from my PWT list. It's a long journey but I quite like it. Almost didn't watch this because all the review said it's not good, but it's Luo Yun Xi so I still hang on to this hoping for the best. Turn out my gut quite right.I have to admit I also don't like the FL, rarely I don't like the FL, but Tang Yu Jia (YJ) really bring one of the worst kind of FL to the drama world. I still don't too like her until the last ep, but I feel she's not as bad as the first ep.
Tang Yu Jia (YJ) is one of the most childish FL, not in the spoiled way. She's always act first and think later kinda girl. In relationship and in professional it's always like that. And her emotion is always all over the place.... And sometimes I really tired with this kind of plot, where the woman is too emotional while the man is one man that always tolerate the woman. Yeah we watch it maybe we feel kinda romantic or dreamy, but this really give bad influence toward Young couple...
The plot from first until the last bring a lot of question. And the biggest question is.... Why YJ had to hide their relationship from the world still doesn't make sense. They're not under pressure, from their family nor from the work. OK at first maybe because YJ's dad not allowed her to be in relationship, so they have to hide the relationship. But jumping to married like that also one big stupidity. They're Asian where marriage not only between 2 person but 2 family.
The hospital story also quite questionable. Is it being a doctor really that much trouble....? Is it really that easy to be sued...? Yeah I know being a doctor of course have to deal with the patient family, and all kind of doesn't make sense people, but the last case really kinda feel just be there to fulfill the duration... It's just they already decided from the first to make it at least 40 ep & then come out with the plot.
So yeah overall I think this kinda interesting drama. At least this still can keep me watch it till the end, even though I have watch it with 1.5 speed. But in my opinion they really just stretch out the duration as long as possible. They can make it enough with 20-30 ep, where it should stop until Shen He get recognition by YJ's dad. But they have to stretch it into 42 ep.... with all unnecessary plot.

Finally finished watching shen li.... The 2nd chance see Zhao Li Ying & Lin Gèng Xin in a drama together. First time they announced the couple I (We) already so excited about the drama, feel like the second season of the impossible Princess Agent. But this drama far far away from the Princess Agent, in term of plot / genre / etc, and nevertheless the pairing of Zhao Li Ying & Lin Gèng Xin still as perfect as I (we) hope for. Haha...This drama open with Shen Li (SL) fight against her people for her freedom from unwanted marriage. Injured & escape to mortal realm she's transformed into her original form, Phoenix, and rescued by mortal named Xing Yun. Later, we found out that the mortal turn out to be the one and only remaining almighty True god, Xing Zhi (XZ). And the story about the forbidden love between the True god & other god begin....
Me all this time watch all the Xian Xia drama, never really understand why god can't falling in love or have any relationship with anyone, expecially if u one special god like XZ, or like Dong Hua in Eternal Love of Dream. But from this drama i think i can understand a little bit reasoning behind that rule. With special feeling for someone, comes special treatment, but unfortunately the god like XZ can't only treat someone special, he had to treat all the creation equal. One heavy burden to put on someone shoulder....
What i like:
+ The fiery chemistry between Zhao Li Ying & Lin Gèng Xin. Really one of the best paired in dramaland.
+ Unlike any other Xian Xia drama, where the almighty god will try to hide their feeling for someone special but silently protect them, XZ finally dare to openly protect SL.
+ The unpredictable plot twist about the main villain. Really shock when I found out who they set up to be the villain, or to be said the true identity of the villain.
+ The fiercely FL. SL is one of the FL that so brave & have the power to do so.
+ They give us a little preview of actually how XZ is so lonely & have heavy burden.
Overall this one of best Xian Xia ever... Never bored watching this from begin to the end. With interesting plot, fiery chemistry & good costume. All budget is place appropriately.. Haha...

Last part
When you think the writer can't make more mess to the story. Yet they still manage to ruin the whole thing with the ending... One of the most illogical ending the writer can possibly come up to. My head really get headaches after wacthing this whole series.Not only the writer give no explanation about the whole thing in the last season/part. They even added such illogical conclusions....
UGHHHH!!!! I'LL GONNA SCREAM & CURSE VERY LOUDLY!!! Just don't read my review if you don't want get big spoiler about the ending
====================BIG SPOILER ALERT====================
The messed up ending!!!
* They lived happily in the end. Forgetting about everyone outside the household. This season/part talk about NO ONE outside the ML family. Including the emperor. He just dissappear into thin air. Never discussed again. No matter what grudge the emperors had with our ML, the writer just decided to finished the story in this season/part. So they simply just erase the part of the emperor.
* What the h*ck with the illusion that FL's dad give them? What's the h*ll what's that???!!!!
* How come in the end Chu Liu Lun that get into the throne???!!!! What happen with the crown prince???!!!
*And the biggest one how come in the end ML that come to the world that FL lived. And we only get blurry image of it too... Why not make they hugging in the future time to wrap the whole thing.
Overall long time not getting headaches after watching drama like this. I rated the whole series 2⭐ I guess....

Watch this due to my boredom watching usual romance drama. Although there're some things that make me frustrated but this is really one good police drama.Zhuang Wen Jie (WJ) really makes me frustated. I really want to several times slap his face. He is naive where his not supposed to be & distrusted to someone you should trust.... Yeah I understand his family background really make him can't trust Luo Jian as a police & instead he just trust his dad old friend who clearly involve in his dad death. Where is you logic boy.... Haia....
Luo Jian himself really have one of the best Detective insting. Almost every insting he has toward everything in this drama is eventually come true. And his relationship with WJ make me think there's a little bit spark there... Haha...
This drama from the first case until the last one all interconnected together into one big case. I really like how they connected everything. And the ending, hoho, really give us feeling exciting about the future.... Really hope this drama have another season....

The man so cute...
Yeay finally able to watched this with eng sub. Thanx to VIKI to provide us with full eng sub. But the bad thing about VIKI are, you can't download it nor you can up speed it. So yeah I watch this streaming & with normal speed.As usual every drama have + & -. Let's discuss them
The (+):
+ The Male character is so cute.... Chang Yi (CY), Li Shu (LS) or Kong Ming (KM) so cute when they have to deal with their love one. The pure CY at first, seeing Ren Jia Lun so cute like that really make me happy. The cutest of them all is when I see KM being 'cornered' by Luo Jin Sang / "Luo Luo" (LL), is really so cute and adorable....
+ Within time I really like how Ren Jia Lun choosing drama. Really hope he's not gonna fall into another boring drama, where he only have stone face. His smile is so adorable, really like to see his smile....
+ Like the chemistry between Dilireba & Ren Jia Lun. Even though they're not so much time together at this part, I can see they quite compatible
The (-):
- The story is so slow... I really hope I can watch this with at least 1.25 or 1.5 times speed
- Nothing new for Dilireba part... Same old same old
- They like 'forcing' everyone to get partner. Even like LL must get partner.. Although actually I quite like each other partner in the end.
Looking forward for the next part.

freakishly weird. A lot comparison to season 1
This is the first time I try to write the review before I've finish watch the drama. But this is also the first drama between season that have that much different. For the fans of Go Go Squid season 1, watching this drama really weird, because not only the cast different but also overall theme of the drama is different, from hackers game to robot competition. I don't know will I feel more weird or not through out the drama. Cross my finger it will not and I'll gonna enjoy the drama.Learning from people in the YouTube talking about this drama, I just find out that this actually 3 series book, & weirdly go go squid 1 is the third book of the series, this season 2 is the second book & the first book not even in drama yet. Wonder what's in the first book & will it appeared in our TV or not...? That's why this season plot is about before the season 1, during the season 1 & after the season 1 story.
After watching this season here are my comment:
What I like from this season:
+ The friendship between all the robot sportsman we really can feel it. They help each other when needed, even though they are opponent in one point.
+ Even though the cast is changing a lot from season 1, at the end I really glad they change some of the cast, especially the female lead. If they still use the same actress with the season 1, yeah I think she will not be too much suitable to be the female lead in this season.
+ We finally get to see who grunt / shen zhe (SZ) mysterious girlfriend. In season 1, she mention a lot but we never get to see her.
+ Go go squid 1 & 2 have not such thing as love rival, even though here solo / wang hao (WH) supposed to be the love rival, but WH moved too slow... Uniquely in this season the second lead (SZ) whose given love rival / crazy ex-girlfriend situation.
+ I really like the changing in KK base camp. Here is more cool.
+ They not always order takeaway, but zhou yi cooking in the base. And i really glad the writer not forget the fact that wu bai (WB) can't cook, in the season 1 we can see that WB can't even cut vegetable when Han Shang Yan (HSY) asked him to help.
+ A lot of plot being explained in this season, like why Ai Qing (AQ) suddenly became commentator in the competition between KK & SP
+ They mostly used the name of the character not the nick name, like solo here mostly called WH, grunt here mostly called SZ, etc. In the season 1, i even don't know grunt & solo real name.
+ The last episode when in the wedding the mc asked who will be champion in next year, WB really put in the weird circumstances, but he got answer so funny yet correct as the groom ^_^
At first i really glad they pay enough attention with the time frame in go go squid 1, but unfortunately the more toward the ending the time frame a little bit messed up. The messed up time frame & plot with go go squid 1 that I notice:
- The all star competition where WB, SZ & WH compete. It's supposed to be after national competition. And a little bit disappointed HSY not included in the competition, really hoping I can see all of HSY, solo, AQ included in the competition.
- Grandpa Han supposed to be already go back to Norway at some times. But in here he stay in china all the time.
- The year KK invented in season 1 is already 2 years at least, but in here is not even 1 year.
- Mi Shao Fei invited to be the leader at KK is different from season 1, of course our main lead from each season must be responsible for this ^_^, in season 1 is HSY, in here is WB :P.
- The disappearing of WB & HSY. They both disappearing a lot in the drama, in the season 1 WB who is disappearing & give the team to HSY to be take care of, in this season of course HSY who is disappearing & give the team to WB to be take care of.
- The changing in HSY & Tong Nian (TN) style. Yang Zi in this season a little bit fat, while li xian look a little bit older, especially in wedding scene where we can see his wringkle near the eyes :p. Yeah yeah i know they are not the main lead here. But i still glad the writer didn't forget to put the bracelet back in TN hand, even though still in the wrong hand ^_^. Little detail that makes me smile :)
- All of the kk's member still so afraid with HSY. In the season 1 they supposed already not too afraid with HSY anymore. HSY & WH relationship also supposed to be better already.
Ok. lets try to apart ourselves to the fact this is a sequel Go Go Squid 1. I think this is a boring drama, maybe because, like several people write in here, this drama is lack of problem, the romance just went a little bit too smoothly. They even not try to make the problem that AQ & WB who from very strong rival club a bigger problem, yeah I know at some point that maybe the plus, we can see how devoted WB to AQ. But they simply have no problem as couple & that frankly is what make this drama quite boring. Maybe if they make a little bit problem here & there & cut some boring unnecessary scene, the drama will gonna a little bit better. The romance itself for me not so much a big deal. I've watch more interesting drama with more romance scene.
I glad I watch this drama, but if this isn't the season 2 of go go squid I don't think I'll gonna watch this drama, or maybe this drama will gonna a little bit down on my list, because i don't too like robot competition theme that they used. I skipped a lot their competition scene. What I feel the most missing from this season is funnily is Demo, Xiao demo. No demo who is childish, they make one / Zhou Yi became a little childish and dumb.
I also really like the quote from AQ: dream is like a seed, they hibernate but never die.
Overall: This season for me a little bit boring compare to season 1. Many scene in my opinion is a little bit stretch just to make the drama longer. And for the song, I still more in love with season 1 soundtrack. Re-watch...? no i don't think i gonna re-watch

gemessss
I almost didn't watch this drama, because I think the main actress not too pretty, but because the actress not the actor I still decided to watched this drama ^_^. Don't judge me, I like to see pretty face in my drama :p.This drama is about love can make us be better person, real friendship is for forever, communication is really important & every problem have a solution.
The first drama that makes me want to scream 'gemezzz' through all the episode. I don't find an exact word to express my feeling in English. A little frustrated see Liang You Nian (YN) so slow to realize his own feeling. A little touch when YN confess to Xia Miao Miao (MM). A little frustated to see YN just decided by himself about study aboard & didn't tell MM at all.
This drama is really well written. They give us several couple with their own problem. There is Kai Tuo (KT) & He Xin (HX), where HX always stick to KT until KT didn't realize his own feeling, a little distance really good for them. Kinda happy see KT at the end have to chase back HX. Wang Yi Chao (YC) & Fang Xiao Yue (XY), a little bit similar with KT & HX. But in here we can see in Asia we still have sex differentiate, when HX chase KT everyone said she have no shame, but when YC chase & finally confess to XY no one said bad thing about him ^_^.
They also give us several family with their own problem. There is YN & KT family where KT have really a huge anger in his heart about his own mom & dad. Once the problem solved they relationship turn to be good, communication is the key. Really touch when KT finally apologize to his mom. There is MM family where dad almost never home due to work.
YN & MM relationship also one of the sweetest & funniest. A little bit funny but also heartwarming when YN fulfill MM wish to hide their relationship. Really funny to see how jealous YN, his face suddenly change into sour like. Because the actress is still quite young (MM & HX) this drama didn't have much affection like other drama. But I think it's good because they can show us romance doesn't always need affection. Really happy because finally they give us actress & actor that matching their age in the drama.
I also think this drama will be better if some of the scene faster & the drama have fewer episode. Of course typical drama, stretch it as long as you can :p
Overall I really happy & satisfied watch this drama. If there's season 2 I will watch it. :)
