Just Don't!

Oh dear what to say. Everything about this just stinks! Bizarre plot lines based on ml and fl childhood pasts, his stint in a security force, her business.
Just know who the villain will turn out to be pretty early on. The ml and fl relationship is noncommunicative and based on his childhood love for her which is flimsy to say the least. Plus with his ptsd and lack of self worth what sense does it make that he believes he can protect her in a marriage where they meet on the wedding day!!!Most of her loved ones incl ml lie to her in one way or another- all in her best interests of course! Incl loving, dying granny!
Ml is just aggravating in how he acts around her for most of the series - do not find his behaviour endearing nor his facial expressions attractive. She is a cold fish and its hard to see anyone warming to her. She was only appealing with her ex who left her in the typical dont explain but come back once he had proved himself scenario - actually i did prefer him to the ml!
After dragging out the business plot in ever more bizarre ways whole thing relocates to scene of his past for evermore ludicrous scenarios. Once back home and thinking it was the last episode witnessed a horrendous birthday party to expose his true feelings - what? Why? As if there was any need. I would have been angry beyond words.
So to my horror another 5 episodes to reveal all.Sorry that party was the last straw for me after fast forwarding for so much of this series as it was. I feel no interest or love for any if the characters and cant be bothered to see the predictable conclusion.
Most disconnected, ill thought out premise and plot lines with unappealling characters and nonsensical scenarios its ever been my mistake to watch! Rrally dint waste your time!

Very nice drama

I like the storyline, the mix of slow burn romance, bussiness and criminals. There are lots of action and fighting scenes. Both couples chemistry work well too, especially between Mu Wan Qing and Liu Qing. Nice acting of Zhu Ya Wen and Yang Zi Shan. Also like the costume they wear. I really enjoy this series. Hope there's season two of this series. The OSTs are also good. The only thing I don't like is the english dubbing, very poor. But overall, It's great to watch and rewatch. This one will reside in my hard drive.

This is probably one of the best directed C-Dramas set in Modern Time

I gotta say, this show has me hooked. It's shot and directed incredibly well and the leads play their roles to perfection. It also helps that the on screen chemistry between all of the main and side characters really works in this show. And the plot surrounding these great details is engaging enough that it feels like episodes fly by rather than drag. I don't really understand why this is rated as low as it is at the time of me writing this review. It's honestly better than most dramas of its type with a MC having a secret past or past life as a badass cliché.

Really Like this Series

I found out about this title because I really am not a fan of cdramas and the way the cinderella always comes off as a helpless little girl. The little girl act, I assume is preferred by those in the country, is kind of creepy. So I don't watch them at all. The male leads are always better to me. I researched to find some more mature Cdramas because I didn't want to just give up and this is the first series out of the list that I started watching. That was 16 hours ago and now I am on episode 14.
I really like this series, I like the two male leads. I think both of them are extremely handsome with great characters. I actually think Liu Qing is the more handsome because I really like his personality, always smiling though he hides so much pain. Of the two female leads, I didn't like Wan Qing at all. You told your father to pick any husband then you complained about the husband he picked. But as she softened more to her husband, her personality began to grow on me. I don't like JunDie, she's aggravating. She looks like a started puppy and acts like one. I think what I don't like most is she behaves like the cinderella that thinks she is tough but probably gets beat up all the time, especially by life. Seriously don't like her character.
Will update this review as I complete the series.

Mahilig sa action at pagibig huwag palampasin

Mahilig tayo sa mga action na pilikula sa kung kukumpara wala masyadong visual effect ito o kaya sanay na tayo sa ganitong estilo. Pagdating din sa team song masasabi kong tapwe lang kompara sa ating mga pelikula. Pero eto ka pagdating sa istorya at pag arte pag ako tatanungin eh oks na oks di lang makapagkumpara samga artista kasi paka may ma sagi ako at may masaktan. Kanya kanya tayo nang idol diba. Ganito nalang madadala ka sa istorya pati na din sa pagarte. Ang istorya mahirap hulaan, ako isa ako sa mga nanonood na alam ko na ano mang yayari dyan tignan mo, ganyan ako minsan kaso dto halos lahat nang hula ko palpak. Yung idang babae at lalaki pagmagkasama sa eksena para mo lang pinanonood kaibigan mo. Natural ang dating nila. Yung mga sumosoporta yung kapatid nang kaibigan abay kung maaabot kulang mababatukan ko ibig sabihin madadala ka talaga sa Role na ginawa nya kasi nga nainis nya ako hindi dahil sa hindi marunong umarte kundi sa galing. Yung mga kaibigan din na naging magpartner kahit di sila sing galing nang mga namumunong artista hayop naman sa halik kung maka halik supsop ay naku nakakaingit. So di ka man maluha or matuwa aba masisigurado ko naman na maiinis ka at madadala sa ingit hehehe. Basta pag umpisa medyo akala mo di maganda ang papanoodin mo, ang masasabiko lang huwag mainip bago matapos ang unang kabanata ok na takbo nang kwento. Sige sana magenjoy kayo katulad ko kahit di na sila bata tulad nang mga idol ngayon ok na oks pa din.
