A Sigma female in all her glory
The female lead in this series was true SIGMAShe is kind ...smart .. intelligent ...strong focused ...amazing martial artist... ..attentive to details ... She is a saviour ... Reliable ..daring to take risks ... fought single handedly .. ML was mere helper in fact she never suggest him to fight. She gets him birthday gifts .. honestly she is a dream woman to a lot of guys out there ... The chemistry between leads was clean ..no beating around the bush like other shows which make JALEBIS out of a love story.
That was about the lead characters
Story didn't have much time it . A regular avenge the death of family pattern. Secret investigations, looking for clues and holding the villian accountable ...
My take from the show was the FL character ..she was motivating .. I suggest if you wanna give this show a try watching it for the characters and their conduct ... Story might not be able to fancy you.

Addicting Rom-com in all its chaos
I happened to lost the track of time while watching this show ...It was so addicting ...Though Plot is little random and confusing at first ... And a lot of things were not given the due explanation..still I was fun to watch ... The events are taking place in a very haphazard manner and between the events we see leads's blooming love .chemistry between the leads is somewhat unique. I mean they are couple but more like comrades ..or a team ..they just don't share romance but a fair deal of team work ...
Cast is amazing the FL is beautiful ML is extremely handsome.will be watching more of their shows

"love story with tragic end in a loop" -absurd writing of convenience.
The core moral of the series was "no matter how many chances you are given you can't escape your fate",which is perhaps true as a statement ...but ...The destiny of side characters was distorted to the level of their death just to make the leads meet their destiny ... Where in the Mary's world does this scenario makes any sense?????. You as a writer want to convey a massage about inescapable destiny but you kill FL's lead sister ..you kill ML's childhood friend/vamp,who weren't supposed to die .. you add more characters and kill them as well ... What about these people ??? Their destiny doesn't count ???
**I WANT JUSTICE FOR THESE SIDE CHARACTERS **
as we move away from the obvious mistakes in the plot we see the story started on a good pace .. leads were bright and comic ... Then as we finish more episodes they started becoming more and more hopeless and stupid ...they can't actually do anything to atleast try and make a difference. Anyways I think thats the fundamental rule in drama world you have to leave the logic out as you enter the world ...
In my opinion the cast was very impressive I didn't find any character from leads to vamp and support roles who doesn't fit the scene.
You can try watching it but it's one of those series which are more likely to be dropped around 15th episode ..there is no juice after that ..just a drag

Real-life crush VS gaming crush in complications
The show started on a good note as FL likes ML in real life while he likes her in gaming ..both are gaming enthusiasts working towards the gaming industries in their own way.. the concept was cute, especially as he gets jealous of himself unknowingly when he here's about FL's crush ( who is he himself in real life) ... There is soft romance ..healthy jealousy... Sparking chemistry with almost enough comedy between the two.I must say Zhou ye was the perfect choice for FL role she is my fav and I love watching her in playful roles. ML character compliment it even better (but I live for the FL here ?)
Coming back to plot the only thing I felt missing they added very less scenes about the process of creating games ... These days people don't watch drama just for the sake of love story but they actually look into the purpose/profession of characters. I wish they could have elaborated the process of game programming or something ... Rest is well directed ...
A soft delight to watch ..you can definitely go for it.

Cute romantic comic entertaining
Story is about past classmates who meet again under different situation so like most chinese shows this story is also backed by a plot in the past.OST and closing soundtracks were one of the best?
Entire cast is impressive ... Leads have good chemistry ... The ML character is quite calm and collected whereas the FL lead (one of the twin sisters) is bubbly funny sassy talkative ..NENE did amazing job playing tye double role ... I personally feel there are very less chinese actresses who can play comic roles ... Most of the times their comic act turn into sort of over acting but not with this actress ... She totally convinced me with ...I was laughing loud ...and i even watched various scenes on repeat cause she was genuinely funny ??? ... ML character in contrast to hers added beautifully to their chemistry like you know "calm male bubbly female couple" duo are always the best ...
The story has different shades of white and black like comic ..crush ..romantic ... Friendships.. then to the contrast it has events of assualt...rape ... Abduction .. suicide ... Attempt to murder .. I mean to say a full package ...
I think it worth watching
Re-watch value ...that depends on the individual

Typical melodrama fantasy
Leads were the best thing about this show ... They are talent packed and glamourous what else can you ask for ... Plot (adapted from a hit novel) was very interesting in the beginning as she swallows the bead and he calls her to stay at her place ... But say after 8-9 episode it turns quite monotonous and boring ... The ending was okay but could have been much betterOverall the series is worth a single watch ..
Re-watch : I don't think I will watch it again

Chen Fang Tong and Dai Gao Zhang 's another captivating HIT
Chen Fang tong and dai Gao Zhang have extremely excellent chemistry ... They have worked together in numerous mini series and all of them were good ... And I think chen fang has put on some weight during the series and she looking stunning in her curves ... Dai Gao is of course forever handsome ... The plot revolves around a blind heiress who is surrounded by back stabbers ..her fiance is a big time fraud who is cheating with her friend behind her back and wants to take over her father's company by transferring her chunk of shares ... Meanwhile ML has some old time score to be settled with FL father and his group ...so he is approaching her with a sole motive of winning her trust into obtaining the evidence to support his father's case ... What I liked about the show is the gradual pace of the affection that slowly blossoms and builds into a beautiful love story ..how irrespective of all the grudges he still lives up to his principles and help her through the most panic situation .... Like the safety alarm pendant he gives her ... Seriously that was a beautiful gesture like once it beeps no matter what he will come this her rescue ..For us in the real life people won't come to our rescue even when they claim to love us ..right ??? Love in real life is such a hard bet you are most likely to lose ... And there we see these dramas where he came to rescue his enemy's daughter....SO UNREAL
Stories and drama are more or less the same but still some hit differently ..this drama was a delight ...
One hundred percent worth watching ...

Absolutely no development in story
The story is stuck in the first half of season one ...there is absolutely no development further ... Chemistry between main leads is totally off ..guess they signed a no kiss agreement ...( For a couple in love living in a no Netflix era i can't believe they don't even share a couple of sweet kiss ... )Plot is swiping into a more confusion created ng zone as nothing of sort is revealed ...
fL's acting is annoying she keeps making annoying noises ... Like her sound box just don't rests... Weird Sounds just keep leaking out her mouth ... Even though it's not her turn to say the dialogue .... Honestly her habit is so irritating..she spoiled the entire show just because of making those nonsensical voices ...
ML ''s sister character is pathetic and boring .. her suicide committing scene was so unnecessary... She is one of the very view characters who we wish to leave the show ...
Worth watching : No

Boring and slow paced
The flow of events is very very slow like right from ep 11 -19 you won't see really anything happening ... There are all sort of twist but they are ending into nothing concrete ... You can really skip on this one. It's not worth watching at all. I have realised chinese writer don't have that what it takes to write a suspense mystery drama.Was this review helpful to you?

Light story but strangely addictive
The story doesn't have much of a plot ... Things are going on two time zones practically 5 years apart ... First thing that appeals is pair of mature, independent and successful lady CEO with her graduating husband ...The twist was very cute cause she was doing everything for him that we generally see CEO ML doing for their FL partner ..you know that pampering them stuff ... She got him clothes in every style .. she drops and fetches him in her car to and fro from his college ... We generally see Male CEO doing these things in other dramas ..
The romance between them was not the usual like normal couple but still very sweet with a pinch of spice to it ..like when she tries to talk him out in trying to have a baby,the situation was beautifully conveyed as how awkward she felt asking a graduating boy to get intimate ...
As far as we talk about acting and cast ..FL was better than the ML in my opinion ..may be because her character has strong shades as lady boss ...
Later on the whole abduction plot was normal nothing unique about it every drama has a hidden mystery/ past that is solved later.
Worth watching : YESSSSSSS!!!
worth rewatching : Hm!! NO ...it was a cute story I watched just leave it to that ....

Oh my my I watched half of the show for villian rest half for the ML
The main cast was amazing ...the ML FL villain vamp all of them ... And this was the show where I enjoyed watching the villian even more than the ML ... Gosh he acting and the way he delivered the script ... Mind-blowing ... The story was good ... ML is having long time crush on FL and he helps her gety ng revenge against her fiance who cheated her with her bestie ... It was so heart breaking to see how ML struggles to win her heart even after lobing and supporting her for so long ... seriously I cried everytime I watch him say " is your heart made of stone" to FL ... Poor boy ... There were practically negligible boring spots in the story it went by a consistent pace ..there were heart breaks ,romance ,fight, betrayal, office conspiracy, good girl turn bad and dynamic slap scenes ... .I thoroughly enjoyed watching .. totally recommended..

Pathetic act performed by below average actors
It is my first time watching a drama with such pathetic casting ... The leads were pretty average but the supporting cast was totally Cgrade ... Actors playing their parents and friend ..the goons ...all of them were just bad ... Story had more scandals scenes than Leads hugging/kissing scene ... Cringe and cliche were the highlight of this story and the music was equally bad ... It's hard to call a project straight up bad but this one deserve a negative ratingWas this review helpful to you?
Ludicrous story
"ML's weird syndromes nullified by FL kiss" ..he keeps her by his side for his "daily dosage" so that he can be the "CEO" ... further return or childhood fiance who he was treating like a "sister" ..second lead who wanna take his chance ... Vamp sending FL to the hotel to create chaos ... Blah blah blah ... The story is just full of cliche ...If anyone says they haven't already watched atleast 5-6 drama on exact same theme ..I will not believe them ...either you are green to Cdrama/kdrama or you don't watch at all ...
As for the cast I didn't find any impressive faces or talent ... Nothing really appealed to me

watchable ..
i love the dramas with historical settings like this one ... story was slow but not entirely boring ... casting could have been better as jin zi xuan was not looking princess like at all she is outstanding actor but her face goes good as modern bubbly girl ... casting her for this role was not the best thing in my opinion and dont know why she and deng kai were not looking very couple like at all .. the chemistry was there in the initial episodes but it just disappear as soon as they become couple ... honestly romance was quite flat ... these two actors are very talented but as duo .. not so good.MY FAV THING ABOUT THIS SERIES WAS IT'S OST "EMPTY CITY" what a lovely song.
and though the title is govenor's secret romance .. but there was hardly any romance and that too was not secret.

Cute ... Feel good ..short drama ...
Lovely ... Just finished watching it ... Such a cute story ..no beating around the bush ... In the beginning it might look complex as the FL has a weak character but as she comes back from the dead her personality is completely opposite the story starts today become more interesting as she tries the make up for the mistakes she committed in her past life.Leads have a good sweet "butterflies in my stomach" chemistry. No unnecessary drama nothing ... In fact the story was quite realistic and relatable to real lives like financial crisis ... Studying for some govt exam .. mother in law's being unreasonable... Thefts and competitive business... Couple standing up of each other etc etc ... A little of everything was there.
You can watch .. you won't regret it.
