Very sad drama.
When I said its a sad drama, its literally a sad drama. No one ended well. Ofc the saddest arc is the main leads. I really cried a lot.Anyways moving on, in terms of the story, there were a few number of illogical stuffs in the story especially towards the end but all in all, I love it because
1. They resolve some issues or cases first. I never get tired of this because I find that it's the best way to build the relationship of the leads
2. Iirc they can easily solve misunderstanding. Like they won't take 5 eps just for that misunderstanding that it becomes annoying.
2. Love is very pure. Different types of love can be seen throughout e.g. selfish love, selfless love, silent love chuchu
I also like sad dramas (but not watch consecutively) because they have more impact.
For the female lead, idk but her face looks weird. Like she's pretty nmn but the face shape looks wrong. Acting not as good as ML.
Just advice if you don't like sad dramas, dont watch it.

Overrated
I swear this drama is very overrated. It is true that IU and Lee Joon Gi have very very nice chemistry and I honestly love watching them on screen but the story has too much illogical stuffs. Also the FL has this so-called charm that almost all males fall for her. Ugh. I hate this logic.Anyways if one is after the romance and the handsome cast, go watch it.
If youre after the story, I suggest cdramas. Theyve got more complicated plots that will make you anticipate the story. Also those cool costumes haha.

I love ittt
Very very nice drama.Few to none nonsense.
Few to none illogical stuffs.
Almost followed the novel`s plot. Of course there were a few changes because of the censorship but nonetheless almost all important elements are there.
Nice effects, perfect choice of cast. I love the chemistry of Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan btww ahhaha. Those subtle glance and metaphor. Aside from those, the story itself is perfect. It makes you feel sorry for WeiYing but despite those, Wei Ying still have morals.
Masterpiece.
Worth watching.

Ho ho. It was good
I just watch this one because I'm curious of Xing Fei. This is my first time watching her and honestly, I felt she did quite well especially those emotional scenes.For the cast, most commendable character is Mu Ze. He is so perfect as Mu Ze because he has the charm and at the same time, he has an unpredictable, weird personality that made me want to watch. Im looking forward to what he'll do next. I also love Lu Anran. Although time travel or second chance concept isn't new, it was well written here.
Characters are not too dumb. Yes, fl has future knowledge advantage but it didn't undermine the villain's IQ. Even those harem issues are nicely written, I didn't feel that they only exist to infatuate to ml. They're using brains to devise schemes to get Mu Ze's attention. The story also didn't dwell too long there.
It was a satisfying watch. A little bit underrated drama.

So so
I dont know why many people love this drama very much, okay? So.. I am going to comment based on what I feel. The strong point of this drama is the shameless flirting of Wen Ke Xing to Axu, splendid fighting scenes and nice costume. With regards to the story, it is just so so for me because I was expecting more side story for this drama not expecting these 30+ episodes to revolve mostly around the glazed armor only. It didnt do much impact to me unlike the story of Guardian and Untamed.I somewhat regret watching WoH.

Not your usual costume drama
Bruh I thought it was just a lovey dovey love story. Thankfully I still continue to watch. Plot gets interesting at the middle. Also the love triangle of FL's dad is not the typical annoying third wheel. She's cool and not sticky.Characters are logical in their decisions at the start. Logic starts to lose towards the middle end but was able to recover towards the last few eps. Most of them are not stupid and has serious thing to do. (Not a character that only seeks love or flowervase)
Their cast are new to me. So far they all did well especially Yin Zhuang. She may be boring but she has the charisma of an aristocrat. Love her. She's actually my fave. Ahahah
King of Suchuan becomes useless as the story progress. Bruh.
Obviously, they spent more money on CGI and set? Btw the CGI is very nice. Love itt.
I hoped they made their OST and poster or whatever look more serious. They made it seems like the drama is just another typical fantasy romance drama or light hearted drama.
Some spoiler:
Im currently watching ep 25 and I was shocked with the plot that involves human experiment. Didn't see that coming because it was all laughter and romance in the first few episodes.
I n short, I love the overall plot. (I forgave some stupid decisions because I really want to know how to resolve everything)(All lose knots are resolved)(The story makes sense in a way that despite the main leads are powerful, there are things they can't change like death of people) I also love the CGI. I hate the bgm and posters.

Very nice movie. Masterpiece
I dont understand why the rating is so low.. Like I swear I had low expectations because of the low rating. But nah, this one is definitely a gem. Worth watching. Only less than 2 hours.Ok so I watched this on YouTube without sub so I was confused with who is Zhao and Han.
The story is basically focused on the brotherhood of the imperial guards and where their loyalty lies. It's a sad story actually. They all treasure their brotherhood but because they're in politics, they tend to betray the brotherhood.
Plot
The story started with a death case of an official and his whole family. Let's assume he is an important official that's why the imperial guards are sent to investigate. Throughout the story, one will realize that the case is not that simple because it involves the higher up like Han and Zhao and the emperor. It is also through this that the brotherhood of the imperial guards are tested.
I suggest you watch it because it's really nice. Nothing about candy love story. Bruh grew tired of it hehee.
Cast are new to me. Except the one who portrayed gu bu fan. So far they did well. Thanks to the plot.

Very nice drama. Little to no nonsense
I didn't regret watching this even if it meant backlogs for me cause the story is interesting. Didn't expect to actually appreciate this drama even if the setting is mostly revolving around police station and bus stop. It just proves to us that a drama doesn't need veteran artists or grand settings, props etc for it to be good. I believe they didn't spend much on this drama.For the acting, everyone did well.
For the ost, idk but having a English ost on a Chinese drama is very weird. I mean, it's good as ending or beginning song but weird as bgm. Ahhaha.
I also like how they include side stories of the passengers without overdoing it.
Characters are realistic and most of the time logical.
No love triangle or whatnot

Not bad.
Yeah really not bad. Like the story is decent but it didn't give me a wow factor. Maybe I am just too used to watching dramas lol. Ost is almost non existent so i dont know. For the acting, they did well. I think they're newbies sonce never encountered them? Or maybe not popular ones.All in all it is a nice leisure if you have one hour plus to waste hahah
The story started with Emei peeps having an epidemic. Most of the time they can manage it but this time it was worse so they invited a male doctor. Take note Emei is exclusively for female disciples so they're really desperate. The leader too was infected I think so she went close door cultivation. Then one time there was this male disciple from another sect who was bitten by a poisonous snake and need help. This male disciple was helped because Emei is indebted to his sect. This so called victim is the villain. He caused ruckus to get the martial arts. To achieve his goal, he made use of the fact that the seven lead disciples are scrambling to get the position of Acting Master.

Nice movie infairness
Umm speaking of chinese period movies, I rarely find nice ones so I can say this movie is top notch. Not toof fast and too slow. Not the usual legend of white snake story . In this case, its the guy who is the snake ?. I don't really understand 100% what was going on because You Tube has no English sub but I am somewhat confident that I know what's happening. I don't understand why did the guy fall for her. Anyways i dont care because the guy is so sweet and protective. The female lead is annoying at first. Childish and weak but there is development I think? But still weak. Ugh. ?Anyways I thought it was nice bec of the male lead. Not bad trying since you only need more than an hour .

Not bad.
I love Ban Hua`s familyy. Very supportive. Thats what I like in this drama. Regarding the story, it is nice but it is not something that will surprise you or something. Basically if the watcher is after some light story, this is good. But then I want stories with surprises or story that will rip my heart so yeah gave it a lower rating hehe. Another thing I didnt like much in this drama is the fact that many guys fall for the female lead. But thank God it is tolerable and not that annoying as that of the princess agents and scarlet heart. Also, the ending was rushed. The pair ups were very very random. The production team didnt even bother to build up chemistry. The weirdest pair up is prince akeqi and the slave of Banhua. Like huhhhh??? They should have removed that part. It destroyed the story. Everything else is okay.Was this review helpful to you?
Messy plotline
It started good and picture quality is superb but the story is.. meh. Very messy. Especially the end. I think the writers dont even know how to end the story. Also there are times that the story is illogical, almost all males fall for the female lead. I regret trying to finish the series thinking I like how there might be some surprise at the end because of high ratings. Bruhh the ending actually gets worse. This drama must have receive high ratings because of the cast. Honestly they all did well. Strong chemistry between FL and ML. Li Qin is very commendable in this drama. Character development is evident.To sum up, I find that my time is wasted on this drama.

Painted Skin: The Guo Jingming Edition

Not bad
It is so so. I mean, it is actually expected because it is just a movie.I just felt sad for the lovers because the girl adopted someone home then this someone is actually the demon they are looking for. This demon then fell in love with the girl so he decided to hurt the guy. Nice depiction of selfish love and ungratefulness . One thing I dont really get is the ending. What is the purpose of lying?
Anyways they're all good but I honestly will not rewatch.
It is short by the way so no need much investment of time

Very nicee. Underrated for me
Hii just finished watching Sleuth of Ming Dynasty and all I can say is it is perfect!! Love this trio.I only have some problems near the ending cause Tang Fan made mistakes (Bolang got discovered bec of this)(also why didn't he shout when BoLang is being stolen like wtfff) but ofc it's normal as a human. Forgivable. Its just very annoying haha. But he was able to make up for the mistakes. Also, Tang Fan has this annoying personality cause he easily gets emotional and immature but that's Tang Fan. Like that's his character so I turned a blind eye to that
To add, the first few eps is a bit off for me. Like idk what they're doing but trust me, it's a masterpiece.
They said it's a BL drama but for me, it's only bromance. Like not even close to untamed flirting hahaha.
Little to no nonsense.
Loyalty and friendship ❤️❤️
No love triangle and cliche elements
Not focus on romance
My fave character is Wang Zhi.
Plot similar to: Ancient Detective, Imperial
Coroner.
**Pls suggest other dramas like this too huhu.
Im gonna miss them.** I need a new drama to move on hahaha. Sorry. Got attached to them.

Im sorry. Worst drama
Dont hate me if you liked this story ok..The drama started out nice and decent but plsss very very draggy. Actually it was my mom who finished it to the end. I just want to take note that the FL is too stupid. Like i understand there were innocent peeps in real life but its very annoying when played in drama. Safe to say like dora who needs someone to guide her bruhh.
Also the ending?? Wtf after all that happened she just chose to be single? Whats the point of everything?
Imho, this is not reccomended. Sorry
