Binge worthy indeed.

This is most certainly one of the best Taiwanese series that I have ever watched and I have watched many. The series is titled Mars but it most certainly it’s not about Mars. It revolves around two people male and a female who have encountered hardships and struggles in their lives. These two people meet and these things are revealed Through their interaction with each other. Through time you see so much growth of the characters and how they fight to be free and move forward. You will need tissues, most definitely. What I found most provocative about this series was that the writers touched on things that most people would not want to talk about and it revealed so much of how an individual processes and lives after traumatic events in their lives and after other events that hurt them. This series was so amazing. Not only was it romantic but the two main leads had an amazing chemistry. There was drama, Passion, action and tears. You name it, this series had it all. I will definitely save this one set itself apart from all the other tawainese drama. This one absolutely breaks the mold from the traditional cliché naïve characters or the dense ridiculous situations. This series is most certainly realistic and the writers found a way to make it awesome.


If I had to sum this up in a few words I would say “this is a romantic series that revolves around to scarred people who find healing through their love for each other. And the healing was intense, heartfelt, tearjerking and passionate. Not for the faint hearted. Not your sweet romantic comedy. The is real business here. A must watch.

If I can say anything about this series, I would say “yes and yes.” This series had the autumn concerto vibe without the memory loss. My goodness, the chemistry, the love and need that these stars portrayed for each other was so real. I was moved greatly. The long lost love, the chance to reconnect, the sacrifice, the longing. This will touch in so many places. The cuteness of the leads was just an added bonus. The growth, the realization that hits you when you know it’s real. Just yes. I recommend this for any hopeless romantic. There was comedy, chemistry, conflict, romance and so much more.

I have watch this series so many times and each time I feel like I’m watching it for the first time. The scenes that are heartfelt make me want to cry. The scenes that are sweet make me smile and feel all giddy inside. The scenes that made me angry, I still get upset even though I’ve seen it all but I absolutely love it. This is one of those series for me that I can never really get enough of. I have watched it so many times because it is just that good. What I like about this series is that it is not your traditional time travel series. It doesn’t have the person trying to go back-and-forth or that Syfy feel to it. It feels so darn genuine. There is a scene multiple scenes in this series that I have be like bawling my eyes out but I can re-watching it and it is absolutely made me love the actors so much more because of his scene in this.

I recently finished watching the series and was pleasantly surprised. I was uncertain of how things would go and how the story would play out but I am so glad that I watched it. You will get a mix of action, political scheming and plotting as well as an amazing romantic chemistry between all of the leads. I felt that the series was very heartfelt and that the writer there an amazing job revealing the character development as well as the emotional entanglement of the cast. I will warn you that this is not your typical romantic drama with the man having multiple wives and such but this one is about a female who searches for truth and a males determination for justice and protection of his love. There is definitely a lot of backstabbing but it’s not too over the top. There’s no cliffhangers which I absolutely love.

First I want to say I have no idea why this series has such a low rating. I read the reviews listed on this site and I was almost convinced not to watch it, however I decided to give it a shot just to see how good or bad it really was. I saw some good ratings and some bad so it was misleading for me. I am glad to say that I finished the series and I found it to be quite pleasing.
I love the male lead. He was a real jerk at times. He was firm, smart as well as a little guarded which explains why he was mistrusting of others. I enjoyed the female lead role however some of her actions were a little bit naïve to me and became a little frustrating. Those points didn’t make it awful. The storyline itself was really good and the acting was amazing as well. To summarize the series is about love, family, heartbreak, abandonment, revenge, mistrust, trust, bonding, growth, sacrifice and so much more. There are no extreme or over the top acting or scenes. Someone mentioned rape in another review, that did not take place in this series so don’t be put off by the reference. The character development for the male lead was so evident and amazing. You’ll love this if you’re into romantic dramas,

What will drive you nuts is the female lead being gullible and her decision making skills. That alone dropped it a star for me.

Entertaining

This was a pretty good series. I actually binge watch this in one day. I think that the plot is somewhat different from the other accidental pregnancies and if you watch it you’ll see why. There were some funny moments, sad moments and a few moments that really tugged at you.

I watched the series on YouTube. It was initially grainy but got a little better. The series or falls around or female who’s a celebrity and her accidental encounter with a photographer. We all know what happens. But what takes place after is we’re the plot thickens. Unlike other series that I watched they had the accidental pregnancy this one was different because the female had a career that she was pursuing, she was outspoken and strong-willed. And I like most about the series was that it really revealed the emotional growth and development of the characters. Through their communication and experience you can tell that their perceptions change as well as their feelings about certain things. But I like most about the series is also that there weren’t any nutty or overly extreme family members seeking to destroy others. What I dislike the most about this series is that the female lead was relentless With her judgment and bickering almost to the point that you really just want her to be silent. After realizing the result of there one night she constantly trashed, pushed over and somewhat nitpicked with the other male lead. It was extremeoh annoying.

There was a little drama with other love interest but nothing too extreme. The 2 L a good chemistry but other than a peck on the cheek there was very little physical contact,. But that did not take away from The value of the series. I recommend this for anyone looking for a good series to watch over the long weekend.

This series really surprised me. I was not expecting much however after watching the first episode I was completely hooked. The series is about a A list and D list stars. When their paths cross, the entertainment begins. It’s like down to earth girl meets all about me guy. It is upbeat funny, heartfelt and amazingly entertaining to watch. I would say that it’s not your typical romantic/comedy drama series but it is a good one. No psycho in-laws, birth secrets just pure sweetness. The progress is smooth and the character development of the male lead was amazing. From self centered to lover of others. Watch it. It was great.

This absolutely amazing. I have watched it a total of two times and plan to watch it again. I absolutely loved it. But there was so much passion and chemistry and this is Storico romance that it kept me sucked in. The acting was on point. There are moments in this series that were so intense that you would hold your breath. I would say that this can be compared to the grand prince however this series has some actors that will knock your socks off. Yo get everything in the series from romance, action, politics, but trail, revenge, loyalty versus love. It is all in this.I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys historical romances with action and great chemistry.

I was hesitant to watch this series but decided to give it a chance based on the reviews that I read. Most people have given it high reviews, I thought surely it would be amazing. I guess I am continuously the oddball when it comes to rating the series but anyway I will give My honest review.

Plot: The series revolves around a man who was betrayed along with his father, family and fellow soldiers by ambitious men both equal and superior in status. Our lead suffered greatly and as a result he was away for a very long time. The series starts off by showing his reentry into the world that wants betrayed him and his effort to seek revenge and clear his family‘s name.
It should be noted the series is predominately about revenge and revealing the wrong that has been done. There is a significant amount of brotherhood and loyalty shown within the series which made it more pleasant.
You will see the normal power-hungry royals and those people who will stop at nothing to please them and maintain their sense of value.

Message: Although it was revenge driven, I do believe that there was a significant message within the series one in which I believe that we can all relate to it in terms of admitting mistakes.

What I liked about the series was that it it had action as well as an intense amount of intellectual plotting. The young male guard was fun to watch.

Well I just like about this series with that it was extremely slow. The people tops slow. They walk slow. They argue slow and they plotted slowly. Everything just seemed so slow. I also feel that it was dragged on way too long. Although there are many significant moments that happened near me and it just felt draggy. Once the major event happened/big reveal happened the show kept going. That being said the last two episodes really added no value to the series. Nothing changed it was really anti-climatic and the ending was just blah.

I actually feel weird saying this but I really did not like our male lead. He did so many things and used people to obtain his goal but he is suppose to be good. He seriously used and betrayed someone who thought that he was a good friend.

On another note, I felt there were loop wholes. How he got to where he was. He just was.

Action: Some
Plotting: endless
Politics: yes
Romance: none present
Good acting: yes
Brotherhood: yes
Betrayal: YES
Karma: slow but yes
Suspense: sort of but not really.
Rewatch for me: nope, too long and slow.

I watch this drama after passing over it several times. I decided to give it a go and see what it was about all about. I must admit in the beginning I was really nice feeling it because it just seems to start off at a really slow pace in summer things just didn’t make sense to me but as the series picked up you begin to see what happen and they begin to fill in the gaps which gives you a better understanding of what’s going on. I enjoyed the character development and also how the relationship Between the characters developed over time. The loyalty between some of the cast members was very evident in they really did care of themselves well in the show. Every cast member seemed like a seasoned actress or actor. They did not feel in this department. The overall plot was was really good. You really wouldn’t see what happens next is what would actually happen next. I enjoy the series had a strong female lead and that the male lead had a since of strength.
I enjoy the scenes that reveal their closeness in their actual love and loyalty to each other with her at home or on the battlefield. It was really cool to see a strong female lead with skills like hers. I enjoyed her brothers and her friends and how the female lead had such a kind heart. It was actually refreshing. Overall I enjoyed the series. Would I watch it again? Probably not.

What I did not like about the series was that it was nonsensical to me. What I mean by that is after a major event happened we as a viewers witness something that the average person would not tolerate. But what we see is a person that is motivated by love to except a circumstance that many would not except. For me it just seem to shout that love replaces dignity. I really didn’t enjoy that hard at all.

Let me start off with the good. First of all the series is very entertaining. It has some great fight scenes and the female lead is amazing. She is a strong, bold, smart and cute. I may only play their role perfectly both A’s good guys and bad guys when they need to. Let me start up with the good.
Episode 1-24 : The overall plot seems to come together really well and you really get a good vibe. I honestly watched most of the series and found it captivating enough to watch many episodes in one day. What I did not like about the series was the love triangle. That’s right I don’t like love triangles. I know what you’re thinking. The love triangles make the shows a bit more entertaining but for me there’s a certain level or size of a triangle that I can tolerate. What I didn’t like about this was that she seem to be indecisive. One minute you think that she really loves one of them and then the next minute she seems to be swooning or longing for the other one. That is where I somewhat lost interest. It wasn’t the love triangle it’s self it was that she seem to be one of the corners. I think I could have enjoyed it more if she actually made a decision but it does seem like she just went where are the chips fell for 24 episodes.

Female Lead spends 90% of time with male lead that loves her but she appears to love the other. I’m at episode 24 and she still not honestly with either one. I think that’s why the rating is low. We love a good romance with other love interest but this is to far for me. Engaged to one, marry the other then what—> love the other.

I’m going to be honest upfront. This review is based on me watching a few episodes and then skipping forward. I like the genre, the wardrobe and I can even deal with the revenge plot however I just couldn’t get into it and here’s why
1) the FL is popular, yes but the role just didn’t seem natural
2) her flirting in the beginning was overly cringy
3)didn’t like part of the plot, she was suppose to be a good person but she purposely used and deceived the one person who cared about her. It would have been better if he knew and they worked together.
4) I couldn’t find a character other than the ML that seemed respectable.
5) hidden identity troupe is overly play in to many dramas.

What I did like? the acting was ok.
Will I rewatch? No
Chemistry? I guess but it was weird.

Oh my goodness! Started watching the series yesterday and have literally binge watched up to episode 12. Loving it so far. There is most certainly a bit of mystery in the series but I am enjoying the characters and the acting so much. There have been a few slow moments but those moments did t last long. So far there’s some drama, romance, mystery, bounce back powers, great chemistry. Will continue watching so see how it plays out.

Beginning to end was exciting, interesting, sweet and everything in between. Two people with their own struggles overcoming old pain and defeating the very thing that held them or hurt them. It was perfect. Not overly dramatic, not cliche. I truly wished there were more episodes but I am so pleased with it as well as the ending.

You will get
Romance
Mystery
Action
Karma
Love
Struggle
Intelligence
Strength
Redemption

What can I say I am a sucker for historical series. This series actually started off at a really great pace. It was lively and had some good action going on. The beginning of the series was done in such a way that it will grab your attention because there’s some mystery and intrigue going on. I enjoyed the characters and their personalities. Fight scenes were pretty amazing and it didn’t hurt that our female lead had those skills. Series is a real eye grabber. The plot develops quickly but soothly. Overall, it’s entertaining.

Series revolves around a female who is fighting for good and a male lead who was misunderstood, though not too long.

What I like: it’s consistently eventful, the plot develops well, their is some great character development reveals, the relationship between the leads was nice and the fight scenes are great.

What I didn’t like: after a while it got tiring, the leads had a good relationship but lacked chemistry. Bad guys seems to have the upper hand most of the time. The relationship between the leads felt more like close friends than lovers or a married couple. In truth it just felt like it was missing sincerity. Although the acting was good, it just felt like a well rehearsed script verse the person embodying the script.
