Extraordinary World
Awe-inspiring and mind-blowing series of 2021! Definitely a must-watch!!
To begin my review, just so you all know, after I finished watching "The Rebel Princess", I was definitely lost for words. I gotta say, I love everything about this fantastic series, from the epic glorious; breathtaking battle, the tender romance of the main characters, the never ending villains, and most of all, the character of General Yuzhang (Xiao Qi). Perhaps the only thing I can complain about is the tittle. For me, personally, the most suitable title for this series is "Princess and General" or "The Rebel General". If any of you have watched it, I believe you all agree with me here. I honestly think, this series is by far has the best cinematography (fantastic angle for capturing the battle of thousands of soldiers and the wonderful view of the empires/palaces).With the total of 68 episodes, I must give myself a big round of applause for finishing "The Rebel Princess" in less than a week without skipping any scenes. Just like that, when I'm in love with a drama or series, I will give it all out. I'm addicted as well as determined to enjoy and finish it as quickly as possible. As I mentioned in the beginning, one of the reasons I enjoyed "The Rebel Princess" was General Yuzhang who played by the one and only incredible actor, Zhou Yi Wei. His character was undeniably the scene stealer of the series and he set the bar so high as a male lead in any other Chinese series I have watched so far. My first time watching him and I was completely struck by his stunning act. I guess, I will need time to move on from his character as he was undoubtedly so amazing as General Yuzhang and I must say I have the greatest respect for him. Bravo!!
I think we all know Zhang Zi Yi and I don't think I need to talk about her further. She is a very well-known actress in China and knowing "The Rebel Princess" was her first television series, I have to say, she's still without a doubt, one of the most beautiful leading ladies in the television series. Although, in the beginning I was a bit skeptical when she played the younger version of her character, Awu, but in the long run, I started to like her character as the older version.
On the whole, "The Rebel Princess" was awe-inspiring as well as mind-blowing series that I recommend you all to watch it right away. I can assure you all will love it from the very first start. Impressive!! Magnificent!! First-class!!

Fantastic series to die for!
Firstly, I would like to appreciate everyone involved in this spectacular series. I must say I was completely overwhelmed by every aspect of this show. I finished watching "The Wolf" in less than a week without skipping or fast-forwarding episodes or scenes. So, you guys could imagine how I looked like after watching it. ? Two of the reasons why I loved "The Wolf" were simply because of the exciting story line and an unique love story between the two main leads. Darren Wang and Li Qin did a fantastic job with their characters and I was completely in love with both of them. Well, frankly speaking, watching Darren Wang as Bo Wang was the pleasure of my eyes as he was undeniably perfect for the role. The chemistry he had with Li Qin was also on point. They were so undoubtedly perfect for each other. I just could not take my eyes off them whenever they appeared on screen.Finally, I would recommend "The Wolf" for all of you out there. I strongly believe you won't feel regretful after watching it. Trust me. It is indeed one of the best drama series you could possibly ask for. Thumbs up!!

A simply irresistible drama series!!
I was looking for something light and fun to watch and to find it I always check some certain websites as my reference. While I was picking up, this one popped up and I was intrigued to read the synopsis and some reviews. Due to good reviews and interesting summary and without high expectation I tried to watch it. To my surprise, I really enjoyed it to the core. At first, I admired the costumes (Dylan Wang has such a good posture and he looks amazing as well as gorgeous in every costume), the cinematography (light and sweet colors) and as the story went on, I just could not take my eyes off the screen.Love Between Fairy and Devil has an absolute interesting package. Every part of it is superb. The chemistry between the main leads is definitely first-class. Dylan Wang and Esther Yu are still young actors but they performed their characters competently. Trust me, they will become big stars in the future.
All in all, if any of you still cannot find something good to watch or you're looking for something romantic, Love Between Fairy and Devil is definitely a must. Check it out!!

Zhao Lusi and Wu Lei are undoubtedly the most attractive couple of 2022!!
I did not expect anything when I started watching "Love Like The Galaxy", but to my surprise the drama series got so many things to offer, and I still could not believe myself I finished watching it in just a few days.What made me enjoy "Love Like The Galaxy" so much was the chemistry between Zhao Lusi and Wu Lei. Whenever I saw their moments on screen, I could not help myself from not admiring them. They looked absolutely attractive as well as lovely together.
This was my first time seeing Wu Lei in a drama series and I honestly think he's a terrific actor. He played his character flawlessly and I appreciate him for that. Pairing him with Zhao Lusi was such a perfect choice as they looked so good together on screen. We all know Zhao Lusi is the queen of chemistry as she always makes good chemistry with any actors she's been working with, and that was one of the reasons why I love her so much.
Last but not least, there were some certain episodes that I cried my eyes out, therefore I must give them big appreciation for their remarkable act. Well done, Zhao Lusi and Wu Lei for your hard work and amazing act!!

A very simple, sweet and pure kind of love!
Another Chinese series got me hooked on after watching the first episode. Yes, to be honest, I simply got butterflies in my stomach while watching 'When I Fly Towards You' and that's purely because of the two main leads. Let me tell you all, I was completely in love with them. Though they are both still young, they manage to convince me as an audience with their amazing act here. I honestly believe Zhang Miao Yi (Su Zai Zai) and Zhou Yi Ran (Zhang Lu Rang) will be the next queen and king of great chemistry in the future. Frankly speaking, I have never seen their previous work before, however, after watching this one I strongly recommend you all to watch it as quickly as possible.Genuinely, I am not really into teen-romance love stories kind of thing. But, 'When I Fly Towards You' hits me differently. The simplicity and purity of the relationship between the two main leads/characters make the series outstanding as well as exceptional. Well, without further ado, I suggest you all to go watch it right away. Thumbs up!! Love it very much!!

Love the visuals of the main leads!!
Before I start my review, allow me to show my biggest admiration for all the great music themes of 'Back From The Brink' has. The opening song of this series is one of the reasons I like watching the series from the beginning till the end, and knowing that the male main lead, Hou Ming Hao/Neo Hou also sings one of the tracks from the ost gives me more excitement to watch it and let me tell you, his song really fits the moments between the two main characters (Tian Yao and Yan Hui). Every time his song is played during their moments I cannot help myself from not falling for his soothing voice.Honestly, I have never seen the works of these two main leads (Hou Ming Hao and Zhou Ye) before and I must say that pairing them up together in this series is an undeniably great choice. They look cute as well as sweet together and both obviously have amazing visuals. They are still young and I believe with their hard work they will become megastars in the future.
I hope people will stop comparing 'Back From The Brink' to other series as we all know each series has their own plus and minus. For me, personally, there are some scenes or moments I think that's really unnecessary in 'Back From The Brink', but they don't stop me from watching this series, and for the record, I just finished watching it last night. I think the ending is a bit satisfying although I hope there's more explanation to some things that I find them odd to figure. In spite of that, I'm quite contented with the whole thing.

A drama series you all definitely cannot miss!!!
First thing first, I'd like to show my biggest appreciation to the writer/s who gave the role of Shang Gu and Bai Jue to Zhou Dongyu and Xu Kai. They both portrayed their characters successfully and I give them my enormous respect for that. In the first few episodes, I was a bit reluctant to continue watching the series since I could not find the chemistry between the two of them. However, I pushed myself to continue it and by the time I reached episodes 20 above I got myself hooked on it once again. And that's basically the success of Zhou Dongyu and Xu Kai as each of them played two characters (Shang Gu/ Hou Chi) and (Bai Jue/ Qing Mu).This was my first time watching Zhou Dongyu and I must say I like her a lot as she could express her sadness with her eyes only. Her chemistry with Xu Kai was also on point and I hope they both could work together again in the future. Another thing that I like most in this series is the soft colour combinations in each costume. They did not need to use complicated accessories to match up the costume, the simplicity itself makes the costumes look attractive and elegant. I just love to see Xu Kai in all costumes he's wearing here. He looked very charming as well as handsome on all of them.
Overall, if you are a fan of Chinese Wuxia or Xianxia series, "Ancient Love Poetry" is something you definitely can't miss. I believe you all will enjoy it. Thumbs up!! Cheers!!

Kim Ok Vin and Teo Yoo are the real bad-ass!!
Love to Hate You is a new romantic comedy that I strongly recommend you all to watch it as soon as possible. It has 10 episodes only and for your all information, I finished watching it in just one day.For the record, I have been watching so many romantic comedy series and I absolutely enjoyed this one from the first episode. What I love the most about the series is the bad-ass female lead and the fast-paced dialogue and scenes.
I guess I don't need to talk about the chemistry between the main leads, why? It is simply because I haven't seen anything that as natural as their romantic scenes in any other Korean dramas. Mostly when the main leads in other dramas have a romantic scene, they tend to have it forced. But Love to Hate You is a different case. The main leads (Kim Ok Vin and Teo Yoo) had successfully made me ask for more. Their visuals and body language in the series are undeniably gorgeous.
In addition, this series is Teo Yoo's first romantic comedy and he portrayed his character satisfactorily. Pairing him with Kim Ok Vin is a very perfect choice. They definitely complete each other. Too bad this series has very short episodes, if only it had 16 episodes like normal episodes of Korean series, I believe it would have been a big hit. But, I'm still glad I found these two gems.
