Sad

The series was interesting. It started out a really nice pace. The interaction between our leads was enough to pull you in. It was upbeat and had a bit of intrigue and comedy to. You will also see some mystery. For the most part both leads have some hidden secrets and etc but that doesn’t take away from the overall plot.

The series is one that I would place in a romantic comedy/ mystery/drama. While there were many comical aspects it really seems to take a more serious turn near the end. It switched back and forth and for me it ended in sadness. I don’t know I’d I believe in “bitter sweet.”

You’ll get your manipulative cast member, the loyal member and the misunderstood one as well. Overall I enjoyed watching it until it got to the last few episodes. It was not pleasant. The ending was not happy for me although some may say different. Because of this I could not rate it higher. Be warned spoiler below:


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

After all of the struggle to get to a loving understanding, things fell apart and our female lead essentially falls into a coma in the end. Aka eternal sleep, leaving our male lead gloomy. For a romantic comedy, this wasn’t funny too me.

I’ll be the odd ball again and say this one is hard pill to swallow. I personally was/am having a hard time connecting with any of the characters. Although they appear to be people with internal struggles it still just feels like it’s missing something. Dumped by your love years ago, meets him again, gives cold shoulder and then all of a sudden friends again. The level of pain displayed does not match with the ease into it again. So far there is 70% hospital drama, 10% family issues and 20% romance/in my feelings. Makes for a good hospital drama but not so much romance drama for me. Acting is good but somethings missing for me, maybe emotions. Had to drop it.

His series started off strong and it ended strong as well. How did the riders touch my emotions like this. This is one of the most heartfelt historical series that I have watched. It not only evoked tears but also joy frustration anger and intern most understanding of the emotional conflicts that many are faced with. There was a mixture of action, politics and romance. I am simply amazed at the riders ability in developing the characters wrote and also revealing their personalities without giving away too much information at a time. You can honestly tell by the first two episodes who has the potential to be the evil people and who does it. I like that they did not rush the romance between the characters and allowed us to see each of them developed and connect with each other. This story does surround prophecy about a family legacy however it does go much further than that. The three sisters surrounding the series play their characters really well. The male leads were all amazing as well. Each sister had a romantic interest and responded differently to those interest. I will say that the series appears to span over a large time frame but it was still amazing. One thing that I am not so keen about is that the riders me the intended villain appear to be a villain but I saw him more as someone pushed too far and later manipulated. This is a first for me not seeing the portrayed villain as the actual villain. I enjoyed the bond between the sisters initially but like all good things..... this series will definitely have you looking at that fine line of right and wrong but also make you wonder where the line is between stupidity, insanity and loyalty. The female villain in this one was a mixture of all three. There was definitely closure in this series so are you happy that you won’t be left hanging with the making up your own ending event.

The series starts off at a great pace and initially seem like it was going to be really good, however finishing this series has been very torturous for me. Up to episode 75 it was like watching and waiting for something to drop. To explain further we have all seen those series that have mysteries or secrets attached to the lives of its characters. There’s nothing wrong with them however I’m absolutely not a fan of drawn out reveals. It’s almost not interesting for me because I know when the reveal takes place everything shifts so I spend the entire time waiting for the turning point which I know is coming. Sadly for this series the reveal took place after 75 episodes out of 100 to and it’s still not completely revealed. The supporting cast characters were absolutely annoying. the older sister’s character was rude and inconsiderate and her husband behaved so much like a teenager that you only cringed when there were things with him in it. And I sincerely mean Cringe. his behavior was so immature that it was absolutely unrealistic for his age, it was extreme. the younger sisters character was immature as well. It sincerely seem to me that the supporting cast characters were severely immature and it teetered on the line of tantrums and spoil brats. The supporting cast of characters someone set the life out of the series not to mention it’s 100 episodes. There are almost no peaceful moments within the series. I am convinced that this drama is 90% tension, 4% romance I am 6% weirdness. If you like dramas that are packed with the drama and nothing more this might be a perfect thing for you however if you’re looking for a blend of family, drama and romance this is absolutely not it. Be warned because you can get hooked on the middle sisters storyline but the supporting cast characters almost makes it not worth it. By episode five I started to fast forward through the scenes with the younger sister, but episode 30 I was annoyed with the older sister‘s husband. These two have the emotional capacity of a teenager that was going through a life crisis. Absolutely weird and toooo much.

This show was just too realistic. First of all for a family drama I am pleased to say that it was not super long which made it even better. The series revolves around your family 05 in and the relationship they have with each other as well as people outside of their family. It shows their struggles, dilemmas, the heartaches and more.

I honestly really liked it. I felt that this series was different from so many other family dramas that I’ve seen. Was it this series a part for me was most certainly the land but not only that it was the topics that was covered here. A deviated from the normal family drama in the sense that this one was not about to fight for money and power this one was the real uncut drama that occurs in so many families but you never really see it on TV. To elaborate this series shows how individuals within a family unit often misunderstand each other, How they distance from cells from their love ones and why Comer their hopes for a better life and ultimately the love that they have for their family despite the misunderstandings and hardship.
The ending were well done although I love the happily ever after and everything tied with a bow. I didn’t get that but I got an ending they gave closer and hope for the future. It’s definitely worth a watch.

It’s a slow and sweet series. The two main leads grow up together and have and amazing bond and they care deeply for each other. Their love and commitment is seen in nearly every episode. If you’re looking for a nice series this would work out fine for you. I will admit that although the characters had an amazing relationship the chemistry just felt lacking. There were almost no scenes of warm and fuzzy. I just felt like something was still missing. The relationship was heartfelt and it was very minimal crazy people however I felt that I was constantly waiting for something big to happen or a big climax but there was no build up, climax or plot twist. It was just the same all the way, which isn’t bad for individuals that don’t care for excitement. I am a true lover of romantic dramas as well as romantic comedies and in each of them you will get some sort of excitement or event that has you wondering or putting you on the edge of your seat. I just didn’t get that here. It was like their theme song for the series was this soft and borderline romantic or sad type tone and the series was consistent with it.

I stuck it out because their characters were good but on several occasions I honestly did not feel entertained. It got a bit boring. Their love kept me invested. 58 episodes is a bit much for no twist, climax or event. I had nothing to hope for watching this series. You know how you like a character and you hope for something good for them or you dislike one and hope for justice, I had no feelings for anyone. The script gave me no expectation, nothing to desire or hope for. It was like over hearing someones uninteresting conversation from another table. I’ve watched many series and this one by far has to be the most boring I’ve ever watched and also the one that displays exceptional communication between a couple, but that communication just wasn’t enough to make up for the nearly emotionless faces throughout.

And don’t get me started on chemistry and emotions, I think it was absent during the filming. I didn’t understand it before work but I do now. The lack of chemistry between characters can be the difference between a good and a bad show. Great chemistry makes it more believable and heartfelt but without chemistry it almost seems like they’re reading a script off of paper and that’s what this felt like it felt like. So in short this feel like a very long script that was being read that would have given the same impact if it was read over the phone because the body language and chemistry with absent. It was kind of weird actually. I don’t know if that change my perception of the series as a whole but I can say that it played a big part. The story wasn’t awful but that too was long and unexciting. I encourage any potential viewer to watch 2 random episodes. Doing this will allow you to see the tone of the series. It’s like this all the way through. And I might add that I think that the synopsis for this is wrong as well. I believe that it indicated some sort of tragedy and twist but aside from the tragedy there was no complication, no twist no trial of any kind. But I am on episode 43 of 48, a plot could happen.????????‍♀️

I was really excited to start watching this series because it just seems so intriguing and interesting. The beginning started off pretty well. I did get a bit of the déjà vu in terms of fashion designer meets person then you know the rest although There is a different plot to it. I got really frustrated watching the series from episode one to 23 because I had no idea what was going on and there were too many side plots that left me wondering who is really who And what’s going on. Although some people may like the whole mystery who done it vibe, I do not. Initially I found this series entertaining until we got to around episode 6. The female lead was being portrayed as a strong individual however she turns into a weak minded naive person and at times she absolutely does seem like she’s lost her mind due to love and needs to be admitted to a mental institution. Just not my cup of tea. I began skipping scenes because it seem like they didn’t add any value to the actual story or plot and after a while it just started to get a little bit boring. The writers have managed to stretch this series out to 58 episodes which is extremely too long for a drama of this caliber. By episode 25 you sort of know which way the wind will blow and watching 28 more feels like to much of a commitment for this relationship. Can’t recommend this to my romantics, not at all. Giving it a a lower rating because the female changed from a smart and elegant woman to someone who has completely no self control or foundation. Not cute at all. I honestly stopped at episode 38. I really wanted to finish it. I had invested so much time already however by episode 38 I didn’t even care how it would end. I did not care who was who or who would win. I didn’t care who would end up together and who would end up alone. That is how bad it got for me while watching this. The plat guide old so fast and it was no longer entertaining. I honestly could not tell you what the point was. Nothing made sense. After 38 something should make sense but no. In truth the female lead begin to wonder about the real identity of the male lead but by that point for me it really didn’t matter if he was who she thought he was or someone else. But hole storage is ran into the ground and there was no redeeming quality remaining after episode six. This is officially my first time dropping a series after watching this many episodes. Literally. But I stopped once I realized that I was not amused or interested. I let go. If you are hopeless romantic this one is not for you. If you are looking for action this one is not for you. If you’re looking for some amazing chemistry this is not for you. If you’re looking for a budding romance this is not for you. If you’re looking for cute banter between the leads this is not for you. If you’re looking for confusing revenge you’ll enjoy it.

What can I say? The series is definitely the genre that I enjoy the most however this series in particular was just OK. I want to say that the series itself was unique and somewhat interesting however there were some characters that were extremely annoying. Sadly, it was the FL whom the series is focused on.

Overall plot: The series revolves around a female lead. She is most certainly part of a big plot. Unfortunately at the beginning of the plat she loses her memory and forgets all about it. This is where the story begins. I love that it revolves around intelligence. The schemes weren’t simple. The were orchestrated in a way that you knew required planning and smart moves. That alone make it enjoyable. I think our ML was most definitely the star here and really carried the show. Although some of the scenes went deep into fantasy, it was good.

The overall concept was interesting however the FL character was frustrating. Explain further I really do enjoy a wide genre films but I absolutely dislike any film or series that has a character who comes off is snobby, immature and ungrateful. And this is exactly what the female lead was. She was cute but her character wasn’t. From episode 1 to 15, the male lead saves her over and over again and she disregards him and treats him like a villain/bad guy. Not to mention she loses her memory and can’t remember anyone but she does this. Imagine You rescue someone 4 times and each time they turn their nose up at you and folds their arms ( this was her for 15 episodes).

After episode 15, it gets much better.although we still running into some of the old habits.

There were so many loopholes and utterly unrealistic things you just cringe but you keep watching because you hope it gets better. This goes on until the end. There is also a series titled the prince of landing. I only assumed that it was the effort to link the two however there is no connection between the two and to be honest the prince of lan ling is absolutely better than this one. If you get a chance watch it.

Is it romantic? Nope
Do we get a smooth sailing couple? Nope
Is it funny? Yes, but it wasn’t on purpose.
Is it a good pace? Absolutely
Rewatch: Not completely, maybe if you’re really bored.
Do I recommend it? Not as a romantic piece.
Did I fast forward: many many times.
Is it worth it? Yes because there are good moments.

OMG, Flawless Acting and Series

It took a minute to express my feel lints about this series. What can I say, but “I loved it.” The acting, plot, scenery. Everything was great. The character development, the plot buildup and the ending were amazing.
The series revolves around a male, with a somewhat unclear past at least initially anyway and the female lead who enters his life and makes such a significant impact on him. This series head so many heartfelt moments and I don’t mean the cliché tight I mean genuine heartfelt moments where you really wanted to reach out and give the characters a hug and squeeze. I mean those type of heartfelt moments. The tears of each cast member seem so genuine. I am not surprised because watching it you may want to cry along with it as well. But that didn’t deter me from watching it, although they were many heartfelt moments within the series they were absolutely even more action packed moments in mystery moments that leave you on the edge of your seat wondering what in the world is going to happen next. You really couldn’t tell. It was top notch.

The two leads were superb. I am a big fan of the male lead and I have to tell you he does not disappoint. His expressions, his tears, even his quirks were flawless.

Even the music was good.

I won’t lie. I watched up to episode 18 and then skipped a few, then watche to episode 42 and then went right to the ending. It was just too long and boring. There was action but it wasn’t good action, well at least I wasn’t impressed with the fight scenes. There was no big conflict, just plotting. SMH. Everything about this series screams outdated, the wardrobe, the way the cast speaks, the scenery, video quality. If I didn’t know the air date, I would have assumed this was filmed in the 80’s. At first, I honestly thought this was an old Kong fu movie. The actors are a little older and they speak in that sharp manly tone, the wardrobes seemed fine for some but others it’s weird. I saw a scenery that had a garden but it wasn’t grass. It was turf grass clearly overlapping. Most of the cast are 30+ so don’t expect some youthful romance. The intro music is an indication of the type of series you’re getting yourself into. If you like long slow burners you may like this. Be warned, this is not on the level of yanxi palace or legend of Dugu, this one here is not as entertaining. There was no chemistry between anyone, no romance, no major plot except for getting the throne or keeping it. No big surprises or surprise ending. Just your good old fashion c-drama that most have grown to hate.

Long Secret

First of all I would like to warn everyone that this series is one of those “hold the secret until almost the very end” type bombshell shows. If you are one that do not like long drawn out secrets you may want to steer clear of this one because that is absolutely what you get. The writers did have a way of adding more unknown secrets onto the secrets that most viewers were already aware of.

This is one of the first times that I was a bit conflicted about writing a review. First, I would like to point out that the beginning of story itself is really good however the progress and/or development is not ideal. The beginning of this series focused on just that, the beginning. It follows our main characters from childhood and it really shines a light into who they are and how they met and how their bond and relationships developed over time. I find that the beginning of the series was absolutely adorable because it really show the innocence of the characters as youth. It showed their energy and ultimately their temperament as well. What stood out to me about the beginning of the series was that the reveal of community families to include the significance on a child’s life experiences, security and growth. It was very hard moving and fun to watch.

Once the cast transitioned from childhood to adulthood things somewhat took a turn. The pacing stayed relatively the same. The actors changed, naturally as expected, but the warm and fuzzy we got from the youth experience disappears/disintegrates/burns. The show takes a complete 360° turn it. It went from warm and fuzzy to crazy, shock and regrets. That’s right I said regret. After watching 60 episodes it becomes really apparent that the warm and fuzzy may not return until the very end. Sadly that very end is 60 episodes away. I have honestly watch so many episodes of this series and at this point I feel like I just wanna see how it ends. I am no longer invested in the middle pieces although I do plan to watch them. I’m only watching to see how it ends at this point. If you’re a lover of smooth sailing shows like me, be warned. Although there is the mystery series drags it out a bit longer than I’d like.

To make matters worst, I waited 80 episodes for someone to just tell the truth about 1 thing. 1 THING!. The script is far out there. I can’t think of anyone on earth or in drama land that would actually allow themselves to be bullied and manipulated while knowing that they have the power to take down the bully or at least suppress them. On another note I can’t think of any bully that will continue bullying knowing that the other people have the power to destroy them. Things just didn’t make sense. Throughout the series, I continued to ask myself “why are they letting the evil people get away it?” And “why don’t they just tell the truth?”

These people held a secret for no apparent reason. No exaggeration! and they suffered needlessly.


To top it all off we have a Guardian who has add the blue develop feelings for the very elementary person that he took in and raised from such a young age. Let’s ignore the fact that he has an aged at all but the very thought of it seems quite uncomfortable. There is really no way to foil this. This guy was already an adult running a restaurant. He was most certainly not a teenager but probably in his 20s and she was a kid that looked about 8 years old.

Am I still watching? More like skimming. Why? I would like to see the father and daughter connect. What I recommend it? Nope. Would I rewatch it? Absolutely not.

I have never, ever, ever watched a series that is as twisted as this. The power is twisted, the parental relationships are twisted, the friendships are twisted and if I have to be completely honest the adults are now appearing twisted as well. Reason has left this series.


This is by far one of the worst dramas that I have ever watched. And I have watched a lot. First of all within this very very unusual drama you have a criminal who commits crime repeatedly and never get punished even though everyone knows that they were criminal. Everyone just casually pretends that nothing ever happened. Secondly we have an overly passive female lead who is suppose to be smart and strong but everything about her character reeks obliviousness, weakness and stupidity. Thirdly we have this weird out of the blue romantic interest of a child and guardian after years have passed. Not only was this awkward but it was also random and unsupported. Fourth, what shall I say we had that magic ending where we just assume that everyone lives happily ever after. No charges were pressed. We’re friends with the murderer of our parents. We marry people that we don’t really like and the end. This was just the strangest bunch of mess I’ve ever seen.
Titanic vibes, #CPR COULN’T SAVE THIS!

My brief synopsis of this series is as follows:. A good guy with a secret that could destroy the bad guy. Good guy holds the secret while being trampled by the bad guy. Bad guy knows that the good guy holds the secret that is crucial but still behaves wickedly. So ultimately what you’ll get while watching the series is the good guy having the power and ability to destroy the bad guy but instead of doing so they allow themselves to be bullied, lied on, controlled and manipulated for over half the series. At least up to 80.
It was like watching someone hold a weapon but standing still to get beat up. WHY???????

I’m not really sure what I just watched. I mean it was a series but I’m a bit confused. It was airy! There didn’t appear to be a plot. The synopsis is accurate but just no there is nothing more to it than that. Series is about young adults in the modeling industry, 2 models/actors, a photographer and a make up artist. It was okay but noting happened.

What you’ll get is a struggling actor trying to make it, a successful actor who is greatly supported. The series is unique in the sense that the 3 males all appear to be really good and loyal friends since childhood. Our female lead is new to the circle, kind of.

There was so cute moments but mostly tears from their struggles or peculiar family.

I can’t recommend this. I sort of feel like I just watch a long fashion ad without a chance to see full ad. This is not really romantic although the bond between the males is refreshing.

I loved it. Best series of year hands down!

The first thing I’m going to do is find out who the writer is and watch any other shows that he has written. This show is absolutely amazing. I have never watched anything like this that he has a vote such emotion. It literally had me crying and laughing at the same time. I don’t know who this person is that created it but they did it in such a way that the heartfelt moments are so touching and the cheerful moments are so natural and hilarious.

This show definitely encompasses healing, forgiveness, family, love, acceptance, friendship, trials, and finding your own path. just amazing. This is easily the best series of the year. For me this was not a hard thing to say at all. I watch so many dramas a day and during the week but I absolutely feel that this one is untouchable. It gives you an opportunity to learn from not only the older people but younger as well.

It absolutely embodies what loves really means.

Serious around two male siblings and a female. They have all been somewhat affected by an event in their past. This event ultimately has an impact on their life choices in the present as well as in the past. What you will get here is “the fight to move forward and overcome it all” and it’s beautiful.

There is no crazy ex-girlfriend. There’s no ridiculous love triangle. There is no stupid make up break up that last 40 eternity. There is no nonsense in this series. I absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a good Hartfield series to watch or a romantic series or a series I have some mystery and it may be a little bit of thrill. Either way this one will satisfy all those needs.

The story was great. The acting was perfect. The music was great. I’m even considering locating the song for my ringtone. The rewatch value is definitely a big plus because it has so many moments that I have already gone back to look at the part again, And this was while I was still watching the series. The ending was beautiful. It gave the feeling of a new beginning. Oh the possibilities. I was sad that it was over. Overall 10 for me.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started watching the series but the cover image seemed really good so I decided to give it a try. Well I can tell you that I don’t regret watching it but I was really expecting something more romantic or maybe a better place. The series starts off very up be and you really get a good vibe from me. I could tell that it was going to be good.
Long story short this is not and overly Sweet series. You will get lots of action and fight scenes here. You’ll get a little bit trail mix with that good or misunderstanding that leads to hatred and revenge. After around episode 15 I started to feel like I was watching a murder mystery “who done it.”
Although there were relations tied into, it just seemed more like a detective film with a hint o love, the action was good, the chemistry was so so, kiss scenes cringe worthy, plot unknown. The ending was okay.

If you’re looking for a upbeat historical film that involves solving mysteries with a hint of romance you may like this one but if you’re looking for a historical romance that is predominantly relational I would advise you to look someplace else.

I honestly was not sure what to expect but I went ahead and decided to watch it. My initial reaction was that the series was very slow pace but you can honestly tell that the directors put a lot of thought into the composition of it as well as the storyline. I felt that the beginning of the series was somewhat confusing because they were showing clips of their past, then they were showing events that happened earlier or events that were going to happen before they happen. So for me that was a bit confusing. It mostly happened in the beginning of the series but by the middle to end of the series you’ll notice that the confusion somewhere kind of dies down a little bit. I think overall the series was very very heartfelt. It showed the effects of different things that happened in these individuals lives as they were growing up and how these things that happen in their past affected their present whether that’s relationships with their family or relationships in general. I think that for some people this is a mega tear jerker.

I somewhat prefer the ending of the series versus the beginning. In truth I was going to start watching it but I’m glad I kept going because it really showed how everything is not as it seemed but it also show true honest and raw emotions. There was no make-believe band is that made everything OK and we’re friends again things that took place in this. The people we have real feelings and they were genuine about it which is more closely related to how normal people will deal with rejection or betrayal. So I really enjoyed that about this I feel that it closely reflected human nature and feelings. No magic ones took place here. So if you’re into a slow pace, bit of a tearjerker and heartfelt drama with a little romance you may like this. Again this is really not an overly romantic series although you will get a little romance in here but this is more about past pain and healing.
