Originally, I was surfing the web when I found this drama series. I recognized that Bosco Wong was mainly a Hong Kong Actor and I was curious to see how he would do on a Mandarin speaking drama. I also really like watching  crime mystery detective type dramas. When I started the drama, I was immediately hooked.

The way this drama was written is a lot different from a lot of other crime detective dramas where the crime is already committed and the main cast needs to track down and catch the culprit. That usually takes like three to four episodes per case. This one has a title that shows up when a new segment starts to tell the audience a new case has started. The cases are connected in a way where the main cast are basically on a journey. They weave a lot of the other developments into the drama as the case unfold (like let's say the main characters' love story or character development). The cases are very interesting and keeps me on the edge of my seat.

As I watch this drama, I could actually care less about the main characters' love story, I was actually following the second main leads. Usually, there is some sort of love triangle or square around the main cast, but this drama is different, the second main leads develop an interesting relationship. It's pretty funny since the guy is basically a prince  where everyone is usually very impressed by that except this girl. I really liked watching scenes with these two since almost kind of rare. Their story is hidden behind all the different kinds of plot developments from the cases themselves to the political plot. There are times where I watch these two  and I go when did their relationship get to that stage? Probably also due to the fact that there are different versions of how many episodes there are. The total number of episodes are 40, some websites have 36 or 39. The shorter ones have some scenes cut out in different parts of different episodes but I found out that it was most of the scenes for my favorite couple, the second main leads.

The music is really great because the main cast, the ones that are traveling together each contributed a song. The song that each of them sang sounds to me like it's their unofficial or maybe even official character's theme song. I thought that was really awesome.

This is the first drama where I saw Ma Tian Yu and now I'm a big fan.

P.S. I found a cover song on YouTube where the lyrics of the song were rewritten to be about my favorite couple and if you watch the drama from beginning to end, you'll see there is a secret message in the lyrics inspired by the drama itself. I had to watch the music video several times to realize that some of the first words were a different color and bigger text to find out the message.

The music video seem to have been taken down because I cannot find it but the song name is called 誤芳瑶 by ASSEN捷 if anyone wants to check it out. If you can find the lyrics, you can see the message when it starts spelling out Yuan Fang Meng Yao.

I was debating about how to write a review for this drama. I actually tried several times but I am just not that good at writing where the review would flow and make sense. I decided that I would write one because I wanted to express how I feel about this drama.

All I have to say is that AHHHHH they are just so CUTE!!! This drama combines two of my favorite things: Greek mythology (which is a first in a Chinese drama so I thought that was pretty cool) and the Ocean (I just love standing up the ocean and feeling the breeze, it feels like I can clear my mind with the wind).

I just love Ye Hai and An Fei's chemistry. They started out as your typical bickering, hate turns to love kind of couple, but their interaction is hilarious! They don't really argue, they straight up troll each other! Both of them are trying to outdo the other with witty comments or jealousy, it is just too funny!!!

I came to watch My Poseidon after watching Leon Zhang for the first time in My Roommate is a Detective. I wanted to see Leon in as a main lead and it was such a refreshing transition. It was fun watching him act so straight up flirtatious which I only saw little glimpses of it when he was in My Roommate is a Detective.

I really love it when the cast takes part of the OST and sings the songs. Leon and Eleanor did a great job on their duet! All the songs are great but my favorite is Lost Lover by Lex. I'm a big fan of songs that involve lyrics about nature and I can hear Poseidon's longing for his wife.

This was the first drama I saw Eleanor act in and she did a great job!!!!

I debated about watching this movie but I am glad I decided to watch it. It is just too funny!!! HAHAHA. I feel like there are probably a lot of pretty cliche plots (like some crazy meeting, fight and then meeting again) but they took it to the extreme so that's why it's so amusing to watch. I've only really seem Dilraba in Three Lives, Three Worlds so it was pretty fun watching her act so badass and tough. The plot is pretty funny and I love how both main leads grew and changed with each other. One of them was about to help the other with letting go of something that they couldn't before while the latter didn't want to hold the former back.

The ending is just really really cute and touching. There's also two little epilogue/extra clips in the credits that's pretty fun to watch. They both kind of are a continuation of some of scenes from the movie.

I watched this drama a long time ago like in middle school, around the time I first started reading manga and watching anime. I'm pretty sure I already knew the story from the manga and anime. The anime was a really funny direct take from the manga. I didn't know this drama was based on the same manga until I realized the names were the same. HAHA

Usually live action remakes of manga are really similar to the manga that I feel like I don't really want to watch it but with this drama, I watched it without realizing. The little changes in this story were great and made this drama unique even though it was following the storyline of the manga.

Don't get me wrong I still really like the anime because there are some things that anime do that you couldn't really do with live action like Sunako's chibi form or the nose bleeds or going to the dark side from a kiss or her love of chocolate. All that is still pretty funny.

Instead of those she was given powers and the love story was changed, which I really liked given the fact that the manga version of Sunako and Kyohei are very dense and who knows when their relationship is going to go anyway.

I kind of find it kind of funny and ironic that the actress playing Sunako whose's goal is to become a Yamato Nadeshiko is actually a Yamato Nadeshiko  in a different drama (Mei's Butler which is based on a different manga if anyone wants to go check it out).
