A Waste Of Time
I started to watch this because I am a big fan of Seven Tan and Jiang Chao but this drama was terrible. The first 11 episode I could not stand Seven Tan acting. To me she was annoying. The story seem that it had a plot but I could not find it threw all 21 episodes. The story of the president assistant and his girlfriend was a better story and more romance. The main story with the lead characters had no romance just a lot of foolish playing with all different characters who I could not understand which way this drama was going. Seven Tan character was made to be pity but she was also scheming and then everybody hate her and her mother only care about her position, her sarcastic ways really annoyed me. How much more misery did the writer wanted to make the lead female to be. She might as well commit suicide by the misery this writer made her. I prefer to make her strong but I wanted to see a little happiness for her at least in the 21 episode I just watch. Jiang Chao seem to be back it his robot character from a different drama. He seem to have no feeling and did not even know how to have feelings I kept wondering if he was even human. The writer seem to try to write some human feelings but only to return him back as a robot with no charisma. You can write a serious character but still have some kind of quality charm. Both lead seem to have no chemistry and I found this drama a waste. I will try for the next 20 episode and I hope the write did better. Do not waste your time watching this try the 2nd season it might have some meaning.Was this review helpful to you?
Cute, Sweet, But Basic
This drama is cute and sweet but it was to basic. Ireine Song to me acts to childish and is hard to see her as an adult. The romance is cute and the story line with the team and the other couples is also very pleasant. I do hate when they put an obsess character and most of the time is a girl. We know when to step back especially when the guy does not like us. The story with the mom and how she left them was a little to much. I did like the ending at least it was complete with all the characters. The actors did there best with their characters and it is still a nice drama to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Watch All The Way
The one character I have enjoy thru this drama is Mo Fei. She has been a strong, positive, smart, and determine to get her dream. I love how thru all the ups and down she was not made weak, She kept her position on who she was. I like that Tang Ming Xuan supported her dream and who she was. The actors did a fantastic job in their performance. Hong Yao, You make us dislike you at the beginning but I have seen you in other dramas ( I loved "Art In Love") and have always like you is time to see you in a leading role. Yang Guang you were my favorite character and a very good and cute actor. I hope we can see more of you soon. I loved all the interesting information about embroidery, dyeing, Material making and the culture and history in China of clothes of the past. As I did not agree with the writers in many episodes and thought many episodes could have been better written but I do have to give it to the writers. I have enjoy the last 10 episodes of this drama. Thank You for not waiting to the last episode in the last few minutes to make this drama complete. Thank You for showing us what happen to all the characters in the drama, even does in the supporting small roles. I always enjoy a good ending and especially when the last several episodes were very good and gave the drama a completion and satisfying ending.Was this review helpful to you?
Not Bad, Cute Story
I liked this drama because it was a different story. The storyline is well written. How the lead male & female meet in the palace acting as royalty and the maid. How they get closed was fun and enjoyable. However the formula for the basic drama was still there. The main leads at first argue and bullies the female lead. They act like they don't like each other. The second lead steps in because he likes her and he treats her nicer then the main character. So you believe that the female lead starts liking him. But for some reason she starts liking the main male lead because she spends more time with him and gets to know him. (BASIC). I did like that there was no obsessive ex lover or parents that control their adult children's life. I especially liked Dai Fu and Linda. I thought there characters were believable and their romance was cute and much more realistic. I did not understand Episode 14 when Luo Kai Huai gets so mad at Zhu Xuan Wen. He lie to her because he was investigating who wanted to kill him. ??????? I also liked Kai Huai little brother and his romance with her friend. I did not know how Kai Huai could be a psychologist when she had mental problem her self and would not talk about it. I did enjoy the last few episodes and the ending was perfect. The actors performance was great.Was this review helpful to you?
A Different Story and Is Great.
A suspense mystery and the characters in this drama constantly keep you on the edge of the seat for every episode. There is action and suspense that make you shake and were you get scare and close you eyes because you do not know if you want to watch the scary thing on TV. In every scene you want them to succeed in their mission. You get angry when they get punish for doing the right thing and villains keep getting away with murders. Each member of the team has their own story that you follow along and support each character. The actors are great in their performance that makes their character believable and it sucks you in to the story and what they are doing. The chemistry of the team was great so the actors had a great chemistry. It is a different story and I have enjoy it. great script and special affect.Was this review helpful to you?
Great Mini
I loved this Mini Drama, each episode are very short but it was very well written. The episodes make you look forward to the next and they don't leave you confuse. I enjoy the story since the first episode I was captivated by the story. The lead male character you wonder if he was brought back to her because of her wishing or their destiny. The lead characters are great in this story. I really like the actors, their performance was great and they seem to have very good chemistry. There had no push and pull scene and no mean scheming girl. Just a very nice story. I am watching it again all 20 episode non stop.Was this review helpful to you?
Great Fantasy
The visual affects in this drama was great. The story is a fantasy and it is a good written story. All the characters are easy to follow from beginning to end. The male and female lead character keep the episodes very interesting along with the other characters. The twist in the story half way and a cute romance keeps us engage in the story. The actors performance is great and there is so much chemistry between them, That they put you in the story and make you believe in it. The fighting are exquisite and the special affect are the best. One of the best stories I have seen this year.Was this review helpful to you?
It Is Disappointing
I watch this show because I was following Zang Yaqin. I have liked her in other dramas and at the beginning I like her strong character but the writer made her into a squeaky annoying character. I found this drama at the beginning interesting but the more episode I saw the more board I became. The male lead show very little emotion that he even liked any of the female characters. to me he was scum because he used them all. The treasure hunt was becoming annoying by episode 19. The old men character that was staying with them became an excuse for more episodes that were not needed. This story became annoying and the script writer seem to keep us wondering because he did not know what else to write. Romance there was none. The bad guys were as stupid as the lead male character. very disappointed.Was this review helpful to you?
Try It You Won't Believe How Good It Is.
A very good story from beginning to end. Every episode keeps you engage and I love all the female characters in this drama. Especially the lead and supportive female characters. Is a plot with mystery and suspense and a cute romance. I like the way the male lead character support the female characters. The romance is cute at the start and it get better as every episode goes by. The twist and turns in the story keeps you on your toes. The actors performance was great and they seem to have a lot of chemistry. Very well written story. Love it !Was this review helpful to you?
A Short Surprise
It is a short love story. It is cute and very enjoyable. The story starts like a dream and ends with a big surprise. The characters are perfect. The female lead character (Song Qingqui) is strong minded and independent. She keeps every episode alive with her ideas. The 2 male leads characters (The General/The Emperor) are very handsome and both want to support the female lead character. The other female lead at first you start thinking she will be an obsessive character but she becomes the lead female characters friend and joins her at her adventure in opening an entertainment/restaurant. The characters are very charismatic and have a lot of chemistry together. The ending was perfect as we find out what happens to all the characters. The actors performance of the characters is very good and I really enjoy the story.Was this review helpful to you?

Ass Expected Great
Great second story. The lead female was not my favorite, but I did like her as an ordinary girl. But the best was Jung So Min in the first story. Their romance seem to have more chemistry and realism. I enjoy all the characters came back and it was easy to follow the story. My favorite is Maidservant Kim and her romance with Lord Park Jin. I thought they wear cute and it gave me a smile how much chemistry they had with each other. The ending was wonderful, special affect and excitement. The actors performance was great and I really enjoy the story. Prince Go Won was my heartthrob. I found him very handsome and so cute when he gave us that great smile.Was this review helpful to you?
Disappointing
This drama is so disappointing. I really like the beginning and trying to understand the relationship form by the 2 lead actors was great. It was not the most romantic but you really still want the best for these 2 characters. The story seem to go around in circles as we wait for the lead character get his full level of strength but the ending totally kill me and destroy the whole drama. Is like the writer put everything in the last episode to finish because he had no more ideas. There was no ending to end these characters. The actors did a great job in their performance but the story stinks.Was this review helpful to you?
Be Happy With Yourself
The acting of this drama was great. The sadness, and misery the actors had on their face was overwhelming. I watch every week to see if they ever had any happiness. I could not understand how they made it day by day with such misery about their life and the stage of their life they were in. They constant complaint about there life. How they stay civil to each as siblings once they got home and be with their parents. I felt bad for their mom who was over work all the time. Between working at home doing house work or out in the field. Even working at the factory with her husband making cabinets and yet she still had to do house work afterward. I kept trying to find whet happiness they could have or satisfaction and yet at the end I still could not see if they ended really happy with life and satisfied or just realize thing could not get better. Very hard psychological drama to me. I ended up being happy and satisfied with my life and how little I have but I can smile every day.Was this review helpful to you?
WOW What A Topic !!!!!
Let just start with the subject of the movie was very surprising but the story was great. The 2 main leads are great the way they meet and start agreeing on helping each other, if you want to call it that. I did like how they were supported with each other and share there feelings. I love the leading female character was strong and took charge and that she was the master dominating him. The chemistry was magnificent. Is a subject not to many talk about but you know is happening. The editing and direction was great. The actors performance was a 10. It kept you smiling and a little giggles and embarrass in front of male friends. Love it.Was this review helpful to you?
Cute But Confusing
It was cute and sweet but not very realistic. The male lead character with OCD and barely with no lines. When he did speak he had one or two word sentence. If they should have had the female lead character know sing language that way we could see how she communicated with him. They seem to read each others mind which was a miracle. The female lead character love to talk and I did not liked how they made her clumsy and stupid but yet she was award a scholarship to go to an over sea university. I think that made her smart. The first 10 episodes is how they like each other but won't admit it. There was a little to much push and pull game but once they got together they show great chemistry and romantic. The male lead really liked to kiss her but very few words. I did not like the ending. Was it a dream or was it real? Do they get together or do they separate and later get together? Does question were left in my mind. The other characters were also thrown it and out and made it confusing. It is short and cute so give it a try. The actor do a good job in there performance. The writer should have done a better job.Was this review helpful to you?
