Which is the main couple?

The very first thing that I believe every watchers think of the same way, the main couple supposed to got more screentime. Due to lot of second couple scene (tbh, I skipped a lot), I started to confuse and feeling like Xu Qing You and Mo Ling Ze is not the main couple. What I like the most from this series is that was no dumb FL that appeared in most c-drama (well, XQY is dumb in another way, lol), the FL is fashionable here (I don't think she re-put on the same outfit) and for sure the mature relationship.

This series is not coming in the vibes I expected for, I don't really can relate it to the title. But, at least, it's 'so so' and still watchable for me. For the casting and acting skills, I don't think there're any problem, they looked great--well built chemistry and suit on all their own characters. Although I don't really remember the songs played in the drama, but I like that sexy opening song! :D lol.

The two essences of this story:
"What's the point of enduring in a toxic relationship?"
"We can't 'form' people, because they are ALIVE!"

P.S: I put the rewatchable value amounted at 5, but actually I'm not type of watcher who rewatching any, so it means it's 5:5 according on your own taste.

Heroes Not Afraid To Sacrifice

This is one of chinese action's series wrapped up properly that deserve the notice of drama lovers. The main story theme is about the terrorism. Not so many conflict in it but the conflicts happened stage by stage from the opening to the end.

Watchers would starting by hating all the characters before really love each of them. Their teamwork and bonds are superb. They promise us to enjoy the story and characters developments that we won't get bored and thinking of dropping it.

The songs full of spirit and heart touching will got the watchers heartcore.

It's been a few drama I didn't write review for. But because this one made me burst in tears of how heart touching their bonds, I decide to write this. This series DESERVES MORE POPULARITY!!!

Suspenseful Love Story

I thought this series will be full of painful revenge, but not. After all, it's still quite emotional one. Lie to Love has quite unique subgenre that surprisingly suspense. The flow of the story is nice enough, uphill and downhill like riding roller coaster. However, many watchers feel disappointed by eps 20 something, which is a downhill of the plot by adding the 'misunderstanding' that often happened in c-drama. Well, I'm a bit bored in some part of it, but actually it provided the mixed feelings, so don't worry.

As for the casting, many people think that not match each other like Gao Han as Leo Luo's bestfriend. But, hey, I have to tell that Leo Luo's always nailed any roles he played, that's why the chemistry's actually very well done! For Cheng Xiao, she improved quite a lot. For all the support roles, I've no critics, they acted really well.

There's no childish FL here, but the impulsive FL got me irritated. However, that's what makes this show more thrilling, lol.

Heyyy, I love the songs in this series so much, especially the opening theme and the one sang by Xiaoxiao.

Rewatch value 5:5 according to personal taste.

Sweet Lil Bro

The blurb made me started with too high expectation for this series. Older woman with younger man story is actually not my cup of tea, but the summarize from MDL really got me captivated, that's how I started to watch this. IMHO, the blurb actually should be edited a bit for adjustment.

Those who had watched "LS" and love the older woman romance maybe could like this, coz imo this one has more vibes of sister and little brother, I think the reason is The Sweetest Secret has better maturity level in each character. Not like others, I don't think this series has bad scene transition editing or badly dubbed. I don't even can tell it's dubbed at first place, I only keep thinking the FL's voice kinda sounds like someone (I think her voice similiar to JJY's voice in RfY? ^^"); and for the transition, I have several current watch which worse and annoying, lol. The soundtrack in this series also quite suit itself.

The story at first bringing the realistic one which the woman who almost 30 always forced to be married real soon, what a society ha ha. I started for that issue and keep watching for ZYR (he's shining here, really), his hair and clothes better here compare to FiYS, lol :D. In addition, the tune of his voice just felt so right and expressive. Btw, I feel so sad for Lin Ran, he can't consume any glucose (so he won't be able to eat fruit also, right? I just can't imagine) :(.

Hmm, although they act well, (the kiss kiss scene) I don't really got the chemistry and love in it (possibly only me who felt that way). After all, I'm happy to meet XKX here, yeeha! XD. Ji Han probably appeared with the best characters ever happened in c-drama, she is so nice and so kind, what a sweet girl. Anddd, LR is definitely a sweet young boyfie. Girlsss, you knowww, when a boy trying to give up in their hobby just for you .... Believe me, it's part of him showing how much he loves you. <3

This series is quite a fluffy one. Honestly, for me, it's quite boring and the story arrangement is quite a mess, that I won't ever rewatch it again, but it may different for others. Ah, another bad for this series, I believe the watchers can literally feel how low budget it is :(. However--once again, for who like the older woman younger man romance, you may give this a try, maybe unlike me, you'd love it.

Never Watched Something Like This Before

If you see all the good reviews in MDL ... yes, this series is as good as the other watchers told.
Briefly tell, the premise / basic idea of this story is totally a new one. This is the other "Someday or One Day" which will be as a PIONEER idea for another series' basic theme in the future (I just know it, LOL. But, could be harder to imitate than SoOD).

Though it's a complete fresh idea you won't ever watch before, not fended those are quite a lot of plot hole, but will leave only some in the end. I mention this a fast paced series, but the storyline is actually stagnant, BUT won't make the watchers bored since it's actually the plot development. If you've decided to start this one, ENJOY THE PLOT TWIST TWIST AND TWIST ha ha! It's so unpredictable for me. Also, I recommend to watch it in high quality and enjoy the cinematic view. Sit tight, coz it's so complicated.

For the acting, nothing else to worries, the legendary Taiwanese drama's queen and king here, no doubt for their acting skills. Even the young actresses here very good at acting and so adorable! <3
But tbh, how come I got the chemistry between the ML and Toem more than XTD, lol.

The music and OSTs are all suit the series, the one I like the most is the mantra song ha ha.

"Yes, I'm almighty. And because of that, I'm powerless." -Kakarayan

Lighthearted, Not Enough Lighthearted; Angst, Not Enough Angst

I'm just sharing my watching experience. The storyline is quite depressing one, I can feel something I felt while I was watching AoL and LaR in it. This series should can be much better, I don't know why it gone more and more a mess. Somehow, it's still the unique one with unique ending that might a lot people hate, lmao.

First I start, I got the dubbing done horribly. Aside from that, all is done well that I got really attracted. I gonna said it turns out disappointing with the boredom.

The best thing of this series is the hairdo and the screen colours, it's so eyes spoiling. The characters played by Cheng Xiao suits her the best from any series I've ever watched with her as the FL. For the ML, doing as good as usual, but I can't tell if there's any improvement, what I got is his vibes in OME. On the start, he has the differences really well, but somehow turned into just the same characters in OME. As for the chemistry in this series, I don't feel really well, they're stiff at some point. No offense.

Rewatch value 5:5 according personal taste.

Not Worth My 4 Years Waiting

This is a huge disappointment of school series ever, IMO this must be the one with lowest budget(?) For the storyline it's just a general/average story, the only thing that not much applied in a series before maybe only the field of wood engineer and the plot of the SML's brother case.

I found the character, background, family interaction, environment, conflicts, and love story with SFL of SML were much more interesting than the main. I can say I stay more for second couple.

I love the chemistry between each couple so much, it's just a pity the storyline of this series not written well enough for them.

As for the OST, I love the closing theme song. Dreamer, dreamer~~~

Since I'm not type of rewatching any, I won't rewatch this series. And ..., I don't think it's interesting enough to be rewatched.

New Variant of Vampire + Goblin

I'm about to tell this series has new upgraded idea BEFORE I randomly found "Love in Time" (Hong Kong's 2015 series). I haven't watched tho, but the synopsis concluding the similiar premise. But nevermind, still love this bittersweet story that wrapped up with Liu Hai Kuan's acting skills which really nailed the characters.

I started this series for the two goodlooking main cast, but really I stayed for the story, I'm so curious how they will bring this story to final conclusion, BUT it gone downhill since they showed who's the villain in eps 23 and where's the final solution for the female lead??? (They didn't tell us or it's just me that didn't notice? If someone do, please tell me. TIA)

I want to complain about the CGI, property, and ikebana works. Geez, com'on don't make it looked very low budget. The CGI is too unrealistic, the property can make me tell it's a cork, and the flower arrangement is such a mess for me.

If you're finding for something fresh, go and give a try. The sorrow is quite well delivered and it got fresh/unusual humor, especially those quite dark humor from Xiao Yu ha ha. The chemistry between the MC and bromance is good. The opening theme song sing by the ML! I love ittt. Tho, I still love "Together" by Yang Chu Yun the most.

I was not watching, I was living with them!

This series has a very realistic storyline. It's alive, I even felt like I almost join their conversation before I got concious I was currently watching! LOL. This series using uncommon profession's point of view--an actor, but yet the packaging using a totally realistic lifestyle. It also shows a lot of Chinese lifestyle's culture. In terms of profession, it's very detailed and rarely shown in other dramas.

Mr. Fighting has the well described struggle of a human and there is a lot that can be learned from here. There's a proverb in it: "You can't survive without going crazy", it can be elaborated after watching this series that a person has to be out of the box in order to pursue the dreams that seem impossible.

This series has a really depth vibes of family and friendship bonds. I really like the way how they protect each other when someone disrespecting one of them. Although it's slowburn one, but even the unimportant scene didn't got me bored. Those general humors in it got me laughed all the time.

The only minus point of this series only some part of dialogues needed the dubbing patch isn't done properly, but I think it's less than 10 lines within those 44 eps. Aside from that, I don't think there is any other deficiency in it, or maybe just the scene transition sometimes annoying ^^".

Unlike usual c-drama which mostly about perfect cool guy, this one has the emotional characters in it. Everyone has the good and bad side, nobody's perfect. I think there is only a bit lack affected by the novel's writing which all the main figure have similiar terms of emotional that likely to get angry. However, it's saved by the different habits of each of them and also because the actors and actresses act really well! Hao Ze Yu shown us that it's not always only the perfect cool guy typical can be so gentle.

For the songs they applied, it got me nostalgic to the old c-drama, coz nowadays the OSTs of c-drama alr getting more and more modern atmosphere. So, it's great, the soundtracks used in this series really suit the series itself.

As for the casting, I have no comment. Their acting is superb, I had never watched series with better chemistry, especially the four main characters. Their chemistry/relationships built very very very very very well. The acting skills of the actors and actresses make me ... speechless. Their emotions delivery .... It is as they are living for real, it's as if they weren't acting, it's like that is really their life. Hard to not mentioning the main couple expressive eyes and how their acting even improved so much from their acting that I've thought the best out of the best before within Chinese actors/actresses. It can also because all of them really suits their own characters. Like Deng Lun and Ma Si Chun, it feels like their characters are just the same as when they are on variety shows. Hey, Sandra Ma smile and laugh are infectious! Ha ha.

Okay, the point is this show really REALISTIC.

I'm not exaggerating and not biased because there are actors and actresses that I love. Even though there are actors and actresses that I like a lot, my assessment here is objective (if you don't believe, please just look at my watchlist, there are also a lot of my favourite actors series but not rated 10).

My eyes keep teary of how heartwarming and heart touching this series is, the last two episodes made me cried a lot.
I finally meet my 10/10 tv series again. Goosebumps!!! Not surprising Mr. Fighting won the Seoul International Drama Awards of 2020.

Some quotes:
"Happiness and a stable environment aren't necessarily related. As long as you really mean well for the one you love, I think this is stability." -Hao Ze Yu, eps. 37
"We'll try harder. If not today, then tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow. One day, we'll be able to make it. You can't hang yourself just because you have a fever. You can't divorce just because you argued. You can't just skip treatment and marriage counseling." -Fu Zi, eps. 40
"Caviar costs thousands per gram, but you won't become immortal after eating it." -Fu Fang Shu, eps. 30
"When I was young, I thought that love is the most precious. As I get older, I get a better idea about life. I think the sense of security is the most precious in life." -Niu Mei Li, eps. 28
I have a line I like but forget who mentioned it. "Sometimes, human even worse than dogs." LMAO!

Okay, this is my longest review ever, I'm in the mood for it ha ha ha ha ha ha. Hope it's helpful.

I promise you won't think of dropping it.

First of all, I was shocked that this was adapted from the novel based on true story. The more 'wow' is that they execute it so well hence as the audience start watching they will curious how it will end up all the way. The storyline is interesting where all the conflicts really match up with strong plots. BUT, I just don't understand ... why ZCY really need to talk about the copied file with YL at that time and I don't think it's important since he actually didn't copy it, huh? why? It felt like only adding some reason to extend the story.

All done very well for the pace, at least from eps 1 to 11. I think in eps 12 they tried to end up really in a rush. I know the story is actually has already told completely, but still how they closing everything is too in hurry.

The acting of the main casts make me speechless, I'm feeling that Rong Zi Shan gonna be the next generation of Wu Lei. No wonder this series won the awards and so the actors.

I'm not type of watcher rewatching any, but I gave a quite high rewatchable value since I think this really has the high potential for the other watchers to rewatch, it's kinda a masterpiece.

Btw, the sentence on headline only valid if you are this genre lover. If you still dropped it anw, maybe it's personal preference issue, lol. As I watched this one, the word 'to drop' never came into my mind.

P.S: I have a question about ZDS' wife, I don't really understand the story around her death, can anyone please tell me? TIA!
