A really good time travel drama
Story wise this was a really well written drama, There were quite a few surprises they gave which I defiantly didn't see it coming. Like they made me believe I had everything figured out but they dropped those and suddenly the story became even more perfect and emotional, This was definitely a emotional roller caster, Maybe you can't feel this in the initial starting episode but when it comes there you cant help but cry with the leads. I have to tell the acting of the leads is another reason why we can relate and feel their pain. The cast really did a good job .Personally for me the only flaw was the characters. I don't know for me I would have loved if they have a bit more to them. The characters for me was a typical and cliche characters from youth romance drama. Maybe it is if we forget the whole time travel plot then its really a youth romance drama. The characters was my only complain from this drama other than that the drama was perfect.
I have to say I really loved the music. For the music producer I have to give hats off, really I felt the youth, love and pain through the music. The music was really perfect and it went so well with the scene and made it even more enjoyable.

Good drama but ending could have been better
It would be a lie if I said I didn't enjoy this drama. Till the end the drama was enjoyable, but if you are looking for a happy ending then this is really not the drama you are looking for.What I liked:
- The drama was set in a good pace. The story or any scene was not dragged.
- The acting was good
- I like the visuals and the sets.
- Most importantly I was hooked up to till 20 episodes and I enjoyed the story pace till the end. Like the last four episode was better.
What I didn't like:
- The main reason why I watched this drama was how in the plot its mentioned that a modern girl came to this world. However till the end Feng Wu never knew who she was or her master never told who she really was.
- In the plot it was also mentioned she is doctor but we never saw her treating anyone.
- I most disliked how the Yu Mingyue character was treated. He deserved better, I mean I am mad how they made him lose his arm.
- The ending well could have been better.
This week I also read the novel, personally I feel if they went same story line of the novel with drama's pace then this could have been one of the best 2020 Chinese drama.

A unique Rom Com
Overall this was really a great Rom Com which healed me. This drama was not the best however to be honest for a small budget project, the production was really great. The staff and the cast really did amazing job for this drama.Things I loved :
- Short and sweet.
- The story was unique and refreshing
- The acting was good and they played their characters really well
Things I disliked :
- It was really obvious that last two episode was rushed. If I heard it correct this was supposed to be a 12 episode drama
- The last episode story was really poorly done.

The acting was also not best but it was good. I think what I liked the most was the chemistry between everyone which kinda reflected in the drama.
I really like the music they used.

Really Worth It
Until today this was really 9.5 star for me but the last episode they closed everything so beautifully liked really it was most perfect anything could get. I am writing this review right after watching last episode so yeah the emotion is quite strong right now.The cast was well chosen their acting was on point. They made me feel all the emotion they were going on specially the emotional scenes.
The music I really fell in love. The music was well suited with the scene.
What I love the most was the ending. I think for this ending was the thing which could decide how this show will turn it out. And they did well. I mean the biggest thing was the murder that his sister did, how they will close it and I really think the writer did well with that part.
And also making Do Hyun Soo losing his memory made us see when he really started liking her. He started questioning himself who he really was, what emotion he held toward her. watching him discover what Cha Jiwon meant to him was really something. I mean there were question do Do Hyun Soo really likes her and now we can say that " Yes" he really did and he did way before than he even realized. Cha Jiwon was right at that time he was only one who didn't knew he really likes her. And also I feel that was the moment when it was really clearly shown he really liked her.
The other thing was they showed Eun Ha meeting her dad. I think those who watched it can agree we really fell for that little angel. and also she was the only one whom from the start he was really sincere. Even without his memory his body just cant walk past a egg tart without buying it for his daughter even tho he didn't seem to know who he was buying it for.
So yeah the Last episode really closed the show and also I don't think there would be any ending more perfect for this show.

Best Thriller
This year had so many great drama each drama just gets better and better. When i first started watching i didn't quite like it the first episode but after hearing so many good review gave it a try and have to say the drama got better and better with each episode.This has to be one of the best thriller I have seen this year.
The cast was amazing with a great acting. They each portrayed their roles so well. I could feel their emotions and their helplessness and their frustrations.
The story line was easy to follow. There was no confusion about past and present as the drama had the dates so it was easy to identify. They answered all of the question and every plot they took from the start to end they finished it so nicely.

One of the best romantic esports drama
Before watching I had read the novel so I have to tell in terms of adaption I would like to give a 8.5 stars. When watching an adaption mostly I don't like the adaption. However for this drama I have to say they have adapted beautifully and gave justice.What I like the most about the drama was the characters specially the male lead. I don't think I have came across such a beautiful character in a while. Although he has his own fault but that's what made his character even more beuatiful and perfect. Xu Kai really brought the character Lu Sicheng to life. It was really like seeing the novel Lu Sicheng come to life through Xu Kai acting.
Each and every character of this drama brought so much to the table. I really like how the drama showed background of some character which was intresting and made the story more perfect. The casting for this drama was perfect and the chemistry between the cast can also be seen in the drama.
The chemistry between the leads was so good. When I was watching the romantic scene I never felt it was too sweet. It was just perfect for me.
And the comedy part always made me laugh so much. Specially the monologue part in episode 15. That's my favorite comedy scene in this drama.
The CGI it was so beautiful . Thats another thing I really loved about the drama. When they play the game I always look forward to the CGI part.
What I dislike was the gaming part. It was difficult to know who was playing which character. And also they didn't really explain the game much and the role. For me since I read the novel I was somewhat aware of the role but still it was hard to know who was playing who in the game.
To end this review I would say this was a perfect balance drama of comedy, romance and gaming. And if anyone is hesitating to watch this because of controversy or some clips I would suggest to watch this drama and judge it yourself.

My first Wuxia Drama
This was my first Wuxia Drama and I am glad that I watched this first. Tbh as it was my first Wuxia drama I have no idea what to expect. I just started watching this because Yibo was there. This drama had its own flaws but overall it's was good drama.First of all the story. The story was good. However there were too many characters that I forgot half of people name or didn't bother to remember. But then again this might be how wuxia drama normally are. The editing of this drama could have been better. There were some scene which felt the odd and seem like the order of the scene was wrong. For an example instead of doing 1,2,3 and 4 it seem like they did 1,4, 3 and 2.
This drama also had some great fighting scene. However, those scene were minimal. There is one fighting scene which left quite a big impression one me. So I was looking forward to more scene like that but there weren't much.
Well I have nothing to say about the cast because they did that amazing. All the cast members played their character so well. They brought the character to life. Tbh in this drama I saw Yibo in another light. He brought the character Xie Yun to life and I have to say he became one of the most memorable character. For Zhao Li Ying this was my first time seeing her act and I have to say she is amazing actress. She played the role Zhou Fei so well. She brought every emotion of Zhou Fei to reality.
Well when these two actors come togeather then there is no doubt there will be a power couple. I really love this CP. I wish they could have more scene in later half of the drama tho.
The music was really good for this drama. It suited the scene so well. I really love the intro and ending theme of this drama.
As for re-watch I am not someone re- watches drama. And also I don't think if I watch also I want to watch the whole series maybe I will watch the couple scene and some of the fighting scene.
The main reason why I liked this drama a lot or was satisfying to watch, maybe because of the Xie Yun and Zhou Fei. I really loved the couple, the chemistry that they had portrayed and their cute interaction. It was too good that it kept me hooked until the end.

This is one of the best drama I have watched this year. From the first episode to the last episode I was hooked. The thing I love the most was the character development, story telling and the animation which was used in the drama. Casting: The people who did the casting I really want to give them huge round of applause. The actors were amazing. I was able to connect with characters and their emotions.
Music: The timing and the use of the music was really great in this drama . For example the music which was used when Munyeong confessed GangTae made that clip even more funnier.

A Good Romance Drama
I didn't have much expectation from this because this was first time I was seeing most of the cast. But damn I am really surprised.Story: This was a good story but I was kinda disappointed with the revelation like the build up was like it was gonna be some huge drama. And also the whole culprit was surprising.
Cast: this was my first time watching all of them. The cast did a good job especially the main leads. Dabin and Minhyun did a good job. The chemistry between them was amazing and the rest of the cast was also so good. The Actor who played Yushin really stole my heart. His smile and the way he literally turned into this scary guy was so cool.
Music : I am in love with the music. It was so catchy and went well with the drama and its also so much fun to hear it regularly.
