Hated Some/Like Some Of The Story
I could say I like some of this drama and hated other parts of the drama. I found that as a medical/military drama to many things did not work for me. Especially being in both fields. The writer needed to study and research a little more about both topic. The female leads character makes a lot of mistake as she is suppose to be a doctor but does not seem to handle things that come up to her as a doctor. I found the romance to cold even in the last few episode were they finally emit their feelings just does not cut it for me as 2 people in love. The lead male character is as stiff and cold but military men can be serious and act very egotistic but most soldiers are the most loving, I have ever known. Even Marines who outward look can be scary are very loving to their spouse or girlfriend. There are time that scenes confuse you and this is to long of a drama. It could have been shorter. Many characters jump in and out of the story like the writer did not know were he was going in several episodes. The actor did a good job in their performance but the story could have been better. The ending left me very unsatisfied. The best characters in this drama was Luo Xiao Jun (Finn Han). His performance was great from the beginning of the drama to the end. I also like the story oh his mom and the doctor.Was this review helpful to you?
Watch Only If You Are Board
This story only gets worst the more episode. There is no romance or even cuteness. I thought since there are such few episode it would make a better drama but the writers forgot to write. The theme is a good one but after the 1st couple that they help with there love life the stories just does not worked. The lead female is annoying. She tries to be a strong female lead but all she does is be a scatter head that yells and does not think. The chemistry between the lead male and female character is not there. We have to wait to the last episodes for there confession to each other but you could never see any chemistry that they even like each other. The deal with the female lead character and her ex-boyfriend becomes annoying. How many times does someone have to say I don't want you. I could never believe that this large hotel was being run by 5 people. not realistic. The ending was even worst. They waited to the last episode for something major to happen to the hotel and in a few minutes it was fix. Tim Pei is one of my favorite actors but he could not save this drama. Gai Cass her acting was not very good. She over acted in some scene and could not convince me in a anything she did in every episode. She was rude and then sarcastic which made no sense. Her facial expression just gave mix signals. I would only see this if you are really board.Was this review helpful to you?
Don't Waste Your Time
I am being nice about this rating. one of the worst drama I have seen. I feel bad for the actors. The story line had no plot. The twist they try to put in was stupid. The over acting and terrible editing . The director need it to help these young actors because they needed help. The leads had no chemistry. To me he seem overbearing and she seem like a mummy from night of the living dead. The obsess girl had more control of everyone then the leads. The second lead male could not act for anything. Don't waste your time.Was this review helpful to you?
Better Then I Thought
This drama gives you a realistic view about the wives and the concubines and the maids who serve them. How scheming all of them had to be for survivable. Maids were bought and sold or made into concubine, if they follow the family rules and behave themselves so they could make children for the family. The story tells you about how many of the women wanted some independence and change the old family view. It was hard for the Noble women to earn money and keep it to themselves. The matriarch of the family rule and never really care about the feelings of their son or daughter-in-law. I see how many children fought for power when many where from concubines and not consider legitimate. The head of the family brought as many concubine so the family would have a lot of children. The treatment was not always the best, worst for daughters. This story is great and very well written. It has so many twist and turns and suspense. The romance between the 2 leads is nice and slow and you see how they fall in love and trust each other. The actors did a great job in their performance and the chemistry. The only thing that confuse me was the ending. I can figure if several years had past or was it just 1 or 2. It does not tell you and i was left confuse on what is happening in the end.Was this review helpful to you?

What A Surprise
I enjoy this drama. At first I thought it would be the basic girl likes the second lead an then the first lead but there is more to it. There was a prier relationship that left her hurt. I really like the three couples. We learn about men who are hurt from previous relationship and men who are afraid of a relationship. The main lead herself was devastated by her previous relationship and how she has to begins to trust again. I like that when the male lead gets confronted by his obsess previous girlfriend how he defends his love for the female lead character. That he stands by her side no matter what the ex-girlfriend try's to pull. The second couple is great how they learn about each other and stick with each other to overcome obstacles. The third couple is the most complex and the one that I related to the most. A girl has to finally give up and stop waiting for hope that might never come. This couple has a happy ending but it does not always works that way. The actors performance are great. Both the male actors and the female actors. It kept me going for 24 hours with no sleep because I could not stop watching it. I like the story line. The only thing that disappointed me was that I wish it had a stronger ending. Even do we see all the couples together it left some holes at the end.Was this review helpful to you?
Let You Decide
I watch this drama because I am a huge fan of Mike He. The start of this drama I really enjoy. The story was different and it seem more of a mystery type of story. Yes, it is a fantasy and with a cute romance. Special affects are added and the story tries to explain each character. I was only disappointed in the last few episode of the story were the lead male character is suppose to be a leader in the underworld but could not do anything to the evil villain. That made no sense to me when thru all the previous episode everyone was scare of him and the power he possessed. The lead female character disappointed me because she acted so strong with naïve and innocence but smart. Yet when the evil characters came face to face with her she acted like a dog with her tail between the legs and scare. Even when her friend was being torture she just stood there and did nothing when she had one strength in her and that was the evil villain was in love with her. The ending was so so and did not totally satisfied me. But over all I let you all decide because there are some good scenes in it. The actors did the best performance with this story.Was this review helpful to you?
Call It "The Liar And Her Lover"
I really like Kris Fan as an actor and as an actor I believe he did a good job in this drama, but it is to bad that the story line of this drama is so bad. The 1st thing I could not stand is the lead female character with a whinny and baby like voice. She was suppose to be a fighter and look strong but she could not make it work. I could not stand that she kept saying she love him but betrayed him. I feel that this drama should have been call "The Liar And Her Lover, There was so many lies told I wonder if this drama was real. There were so many good characters in this story and they could have made a great story about women MAA fighters but this love story was stupid to me. I could not believe the love story when I could not believe in the female character. I am being nice with the rating because I really like all the other characters in this drama. The lawyer and his romance became my favorite, He made it sincere for his love of Lin Wen. Lin Wen was also much more of a strong fighter and much more mature. Wei Wei kept calling herself the love expert but new nothing about love has she even had a boyfriend. Ly YunZhu made her character believable as a fighter but I was not convince of her love for brother Zhixiao, I wanted her to fight harder for his love. This drama was so much about not trusting your own family members or the person you are in love with that the ending was unsatisfactory. I blame this on the scrip mostly I believe the actors did their best in their performance.Was this review helpful to you?
Different But Good
A different kind of story and romance. I like the story and very dramatic way the lead male and female show the love for each other. The competition of the bow and arrow was very important to them. The strict rules and the way they have to move is amazing. All about honor and respect. The romance is also very dramatic and the story of Mikami personal life is very dysfunctional. I have seen many of these actors before and they are very good. They did not let me down in this movie the performance is great.Was this review helpful to you?
Must Watch, Best This Year
Great drama, great story, Great acting and directing. One of my favorite this year. No annoying old girlfriend who think that the ML belongs to her. Parents who tried to interfered in the relationship but these characters are adults and handle it very well. Both female leads were great. they were strong and independent, with their own careers and knew what they wanted. The second couple was my favorite they seem their relationship was very realistic of 2 people. The chemistry was great with both couples. I would have love a stronger ending but I am hoping for a second season. All the actors performance was great. Must Watched !!!!!!Was this review helpful to you?
No, Thank You! For A 2nd Season
Disappointed is my word on this drama. It is a short drama and the story could be good. The writer could not make up what plot he wanted to used so he used all of them. There was so much confusion and so many skip in scenes that I wonder if I was coming or going. There is some comedy and the lead female talks a lot to herself about the future and her acting career. We know who the lead female is but Her acting as a drama queen was over rated. I could not understand when the scene was her showing sincerity or plan that she read the script which we barely saw. There is no romance in this drama. The characters have no chemistry. There are so many prince in this drama that you wonder why they are worry of becoming the emperor. Non of them are really related or I should said that we are never told of their relationship. We mostly know about the "Su Family" sisters and a little about the family. To me the writer and director did not help the actors in the their performance. I believe the actors tried their best but I could just bare through with 26 episode because each episode was 10 minutes long. The ending was terrible and give us hope for a second season. They would need to fix the story for me to see another season.Was this review helpful to you?
Not As Bad As I Thought
I found the story line a little cheesy but I really liked all the characters. I liked both leads in this drama and even the 2nd and 3 lead. There are so many characters that I could not find one not to liked. The main female lead was great strong minded and independent and did not let anyone put her down or make her step back. The main male lead is funny, cute and supportive and was very loving. The second lead male was very much the character I thought would be obsessive but realized that he would be happy if the girl he love was happy even with someone else. There was some medical error that the writer did not research to make it correct. The twist about the evil guy with the drugs was to mafia for me. That part of the story could have been better especially that he only wanted to hurt one person. I also liked that there were no parents against the couples, since these are adults and no love triangle. I believe that the actors did a great job in their performance. There were some thrills and some disappointment in the filming of some action scenes but overall I liked itWas this review helpful to you?
Do Not Waist Your Time.
I found this drama slow and boring. I found that I was more interested in what was happening in 2015 then in 2007. The male lead is a typical cute boy who bullies the female lead because he likes her but won't tell her. The female lead is the usual shy, naïve girl that does not do anything bad but always gets in trouble. The female lead annoy me because I felt that half the time she was space out, and as cold and stiff as a light pole. When they said she was crying I could not see it or feel it because it look so fake and her eye did not even seem wet. I could not understand the relationship with her parents. Yes, they were strict but they seem as they had no feelings for her. What happen to motherly love. Especially she is their only child. Her house seem more as a detention center then her family house. The principal seem as he was constipated, that is the look he constantly gave. The man could never crack a smile. Maybe he needed to fart. The army sergeant had more understanding of the kids and was more relatable to the kids then the principal. The story did not make sense and I thought the back and forth was worthless. The script writer especially needed to read his own scrip and make it work and the director also needed help.Was this review helpful to you?
Great !, Great !, Great !
I felt in love with this drama. At first I thought it was going to be about 4 wild and arrogant men. But the ladies' in this drama win it all. I love how strong and confident they show us front of everyone but they also show us how weak and soft they are inside. These 4 men who are insecure about love but start to fall for these strong women who help them as they go thru life ups and down. It shows that women can be beautiful, smart and still be a leader and can be soft toward love. The lessons these man are put through to understanding women and how to love them is great in this drama. I have not seen a great drama like this in a long time to show what women stand up now and their independence. The tittle might give you an Idea that it is all about men but it is more how men can learn to know what women want now and how to love them. The actors performance was great and the chemistry between the characters was great. Very realistic that absorbs you into the drama and you fall in love with it. Great job in this story.Was this review helpful to you?
A Great Fantasy
A great drama to watch. It is full off fantasy and great special affect. There is 3 good couples that are in the lead characters. The story line was well written and makes you mesmerizes from episodes to episodes. There is not much romance but the special affect are great. The cast is great , their performance made you believe in each character. I love the theme of humanity toward people and animals. The drama also has the subject of friendship and trusting one another. There is plenty of funny scenes that keeps a smile on you as you watch. The music is nice and the scene were they are on the road and they start playing made up instruments is great. The female in the drama are all strong and I like how they are treated equal as the male lead. A must drama to watch. The ending is the only thing that I was upset because it is a cliff hanger.Was this review helpful to you?
A Realistic View
I find this story very sad. The emprises has no say in her marriage to the emperor. He is gay and does not touch a women but send his men to sleep with her because he needs an heir. She has no say in the emperors order and summits to his request. She falls for the first guard and he falls for her after he has been sleeping with the emperor. The emperor get jealous because he is in love with the guard. the emperor jealousy ends his rain on the kingdoms. It is a realistic view of what the past could have been. I have to say I cry especially at the end. The performance of these actors was great. A great story.Was this review helpful to you?
