Quanquan and the chemistry of leads are top notch...
I saw a clip of this drama so I decided to watch. Quanquan is so cute. He stole my heart right away.The leads' chemistry are really great. Story flow and pacing are steady but the misunderstandings are crazy. Anyway, that's part of the story so all good.
Honestly, I only watched the main story and skipped the side stories. But I am giving it a good review as I really like it.
Overall, Quanquan gave this show a good story.

Cliche but worth my time. I love it!
Ao Rui Peng and Tian Xi Wei have really great chemistry. I enjoyed their sweet scenes. The first time I watched Ruipeng is The Blood of Youth. So I am glad I came across this drama. Tian Xi Wei is so cute. They are cute together.The second couple also has good chemistry. I mean all couples in the drama are paired well.
Story wise, it's cliche but I love cliches and these type of stories. I need feel good series to entertain my introvert self. Acting wise, I also like it. The villains in the Qi Residence are on point. I love when all Qi members came together to catch the villain.
Happy ending. Happy viewer here. :)

I love it until...
I love Zhou Ye so I watched this due to her and so many positive reviews BUT my mistake was checking the last episode after I watched 5 episodes and ruined my mood. I just want a happy ending so I checked. And I am glad. So the episodes I only watched are ep 1-5 and 29, 30.Here's my take. Zhou Ye's acting is great. She made me cry on the last 2 episodes. I didn't like the ending at all. That was a cruel ending making the rest of the story useless. The whole story is just a dream so I was pissed. I actually hope it is not but I am glad I checked early on. The whole story was made up by her traumatized mind and spirit. This is why I am putting it as 5 star and no, I won't rewatch nor check other episodes because it's all a dream.

Zhao Lusi Supremacy
This is a cute drama that I did not drop. Yeah nowadays I drop at 5-10 episodes if it will not hold my interest.Story is quite cliche but I laughed and the actor playing ML grew on me. He is not my type but he is handsome, I must say.
Story-wise, the brother is creepy. But he redeemed himself in the end. My favorite character is FL's boss who became a great friend. And FL's bestfriend.
Overall, a good drama.

Good revenge drama
I didn't drop it so it was good. Lol.ML is an absolute green flag and I like the actor. I am not a fan of the one who played FL so I focused on the story. Scenes are so dramatic but it kept me clicking the next episode. It got me hooked.
The villain sister did well in her acting. She is annoying af. The villain prince and villain sister have chemistry. The FL and ML, not so much.

One of the great cdramas out there
I started getting immensed in the story from episode 25 to end. It was awesome. Episode 27 gave me goosebumps. The main lead grew on me and I really like his character. If there's season 2, I will surely watch.Xiao Yu's death is inevitable because his mom Wejun is as pathetic as when she's portrayed in Dashing Youth. Just a pushover.
The novel author might have hated happy ever afters. Yue Yao and Zhao Yuchen's deaths aren't poetic but frustrating. I mean almost all couples have dead partners.
Wuxin's character wasn't given justice. But understandable since it's the story flow. Xiao Se's refusing the emperor role is also understandable. As emperor, he will have a harem, restricted to the palace, battling conspiracies and wars. As he said, it's boring. He is a powerful man so he belongs in jianghu.
Overall I really liked TBOY. I watched Dashing Youth as well. They are both awesome. Although I like DY a little bit more since it's more fun than TBOY.

Powerhouse of Handsome Men
This series is filled with handsome men. Lol. Eye candies gallore.I watched this because it's a Neo Hou drama and I was not disappointed. I enjoyed this more than Back from the Brink because I am more of a martial arts fan than romance.
My favorite characters are:
1) Master Li. This op immortal is the best character.
2) Dongjun's Poison Master Uncle. Such carefree and cool uncle.
3) Dongjun's 1st Master, Gu Chen. He did well readying a young Dongjun in the jianghu.
4) Dongjun's family (mother, father, grandfather).
5) Xiao Ruofeng. He should have been the emperor.
My hated characters are:
1) Grand Eunuch. He is ambitious and dangerous.
2) Yue Qing. Every time she appears on screen, she irritates me so much. Truth be told she is more beautiful than Yue Yao but she is annoying af.
3) Prince Qing.
4) Li Hanyi adult version. She is no longer the cute little girl who always eat tanghulu.
My favorite scenes are BEWARE SPOILER
1) The appearance of Dongjun's giant white serpent. I wonder why it did not appear again. It could have been really cool
2) When he got his sword 'dustless'. He showed a great sword style but it never appeared again during his fights. Such a let down.
3) The kid with fire power who made the sword merge and fly. I guess he is a TBOY main character? Not sure. Haven't watched it yet.
4) Master Gu's fight. That was awesome. Sad he died.
5) The liquor challenge. This is a fun episode.
6) Master Li's regression to his younger self.
7) All scenes with Dongjun with his first and second masters. Master Li is a delight.
8) Master Li's fight with rain demon.
9) Master Li's fight with Grand Eunuch.
10) Every time Master Li appears. Lol
Romance is sub par. No chemistry at all for all couples.
Story progress is 7.5/10. I want Ye Dingzhi to win multiple times. I read a lot of manhuas/manhwas where I root for the demonic sect. He is just retaliating because of the unfairness of the world.
What I hate is what happened to Li Hanyi. She was an adorable person as a kid but became power hungry as adult. I also hate Ruojin for forcing himself to Wen Jun and she reluctantly bear a child.
Ending is inevitable. I still root for Ye Yun.
MAJOR SPOILER!!! This is from novel. Yue Yao was accidentally killed by Dongjun because he taught she is Yue Qing which is the dumbest sh!t ever! Dongjun lived in seclusion after that. So what's the point of having two powerful masters and learning some of the most powerful sword techniques when you just end up like that? Pathetic path and frustrating af.

Badass FL
This show is fun and hilarious. I love that FL (An Duo Duo) is not a damsel in distress and can hold her own ground. She is the kind of FL we need to see more in dramas. ML (Qin Qi) is supportive and loving.The chemistry is on point for the actors. When the mother in law saw her birthmark, she instantly know that she is the one her son loves so I love that scene.
My favorite character is the Secretary.
Overall, a funny and nice story. If you want a light and quick series to make you laugh, go with this.

Neo Hou and Zhou Ye Acting Supremacy
This cdrama is surprisingly good. And I find it quite underrated. Zhou Ye and Hou Minghao did well.Romance is a bit lackluster. I felt like they're just best friends because of lack of kissing scenes and romantic contacts. However, they have good chemistry. Not great chemistry but good.
Story pacing is well done. It's not everywhere unlike other wuxia/xinxia dramas. It made me cry, and made me laugh. Bai Xiangsheng's character as antihero/hero is commendable. He became a God of Love/Matchmaking/Marriage in the end. It made me smile.
This drama gave you a lot of love perspective
Epic love - Tian Yao and Yan Hui
Obsessive love - Su Ying to Lu Mu Sheng
Til death do us part love - Lu Mu Sheng to Princess Yun Xi
Wrong and naive love - Tian Yao to Su Ying
Friends to enemies love - Zhu Li and Huan Xiao Yan
Hidden love - Xian Ge to Feng Qian Shuo
Destructive and dark love - Fu Yin (Dark Phantom) to Queen Xue Lin
Unrequitted love - Bai Xiao Sheng to Yan Hui
Patient love - A Cha to Master Qi Yun
Romeo and Juliet kind of love - Ling Fei to Zi Feng
The challenge of love and duty - Xue Lin and Chen Yi
Overall, I enjoyed this drama and might rewatch if I have time since I have a lot on my list right now. Lol.
Neo Hou is sooo handsome. :D

Power Couple
As a wuxia/xinxia fan and an avid novel/manga/manhwa/manhua reader of martial arts/murim genre, I find this cdrama really good with strong fl and ml. This became by far my favorite cdrama.The only flaws are the ending which did not follow the novel and the plot which became so-so on the middle of the series.

DROPPED AT EPISODE 1
Watched this because I am a YY fan. But surprisingly, I did not like this cdrama at all.The only thing I liked is the medical and rescue elements in the story. Also the supporting characters. Other than that, I struggled to start episode 2 and decided to watch another drama instead which I found really good and already halfway in the series.
Not going to pick up again.
