Pros: All the casts did a phenomenal job. I like the acting, directing and costume designs. Also, the sets were very unique and well done. Very beautiful. The CGIs were beautiful, and not overdone in my opinion. The osts were so smooth to listen to and tears your heart to pieces. The music and sounds were nice and flow well with the theme.
Plot: Like the summary, the plot is about a maidservant that is out for her revenge. However, I feel that mostly the plot revolved around the CP and his father, the emperor. For example, everything that the CP did--the father is against it because the emperor doesn't trust him and perhaps, even feels threatening by him. In this drama, you can easily see that the father loves Crown Prince Ding Quan, but because he is the head of state-he cannot easily agree with the choices that CP made. So, to counterattacked the CP's choices-He used his second son to put CP in his place. Throughout this drama, I can feel the pain and suffering that CP went through-with protecting his love for Wen Xi and those around him.
Cons: I feel some scenes got cut out, and the story didn't flow nicely. But, still, a good drama to watch.

Not my cup of tea....

The plot was so confusing. It started out good and then the rap just make it worst.
I gather the story is about a teacher and he got violently r****. Then his rapist came to confront him, and then he told the MC to rap???? At the end, the MC died :(. The rapist never got charged and he cowardly ran away. Poor MC suffered and died at the end. Horrible script and plot. This plot is dark and no happy ending. The MC got divorced and then he might be into guys???

!!!!Do not recommend.!!!!!! Please do not waste your wasting time watching this, this bl sucks so much.
Edit: There were many details that went unnoticed, or ignore? I didn't get the movie and was so confusing. Definitely have to analyze and watch this to get what this movie is about. Below is a comment spoiler to make better sense of this movie :).

Going around in circle, but the finale kicks it off!!!!

This was a good spy drama, I like how the plot is easy to follow and the characters were easy to understand. The plot is about Fang JiaShu (played by HXM) and he placed himself inside the organization 76 to find out answers and questions to help his goal. I think he works for the Secret Agent, but not sure if he has multiple identites??? He might have been a triple agents???

Anyways, Tao YuLing, another spy agent from another company came to him and they pretend to be fake husband and wife together; along with Tao YuLing's two children. Together, they form a fake family to pretend so that 76 Organization doesn't suspect that Fang JiaShu is a spy. The family gets along well, and help each other.

That's the gist of it. I enjoyed it, it started off slow, but the pace picks it up. I especially the last 4 episodes because the finale and more revealing.

8/10.

One of my favorite short drama yet!!!

I love this drama from th beginning to the end. It wasn't too slow, or too fast. The pace was just right. I adore the romance and relationships between the main leads, and side couples. It was also nice to see the sons and father's relationship as well. The plot was entertaining and easy to follow. It tells about the FL, who got cursed by the butterfly curse. The ML loves and adores the FL that he would do anything for her, as far as going to take the poison from her to him. He's sort of selfless in this sense, because he loves his wife and doesn't want to lose her. They are like a pair of butterfly lovers, who does everything together and takes care of each other. It as an open-ending, so watch it with an open mind. To me, it was a happy ending :).

Love the music, cinematography, acting and chemistry between all the leads.

Will watch again. 8/10.

Good script, acting and story

I like this drama for its plot and story. It was very good, suspenseful, and engaging. I never got bored, and the ML is eye candy :). I like everything about the story, except for the revealing. I thought it was taking too long. Overall, it was a quick and good watch. The FL did a good job of showcasing her emotions. She finally got her revenge in the end. I like how the ML supports the FL and they work together as a team. I also like how the madam wasn't too annoying, and I like how the characters in this story stay true to their character, and are loyal to their bosses. In the end, the old man got what he deserved and he died.

It was good, but could have been better

This was a good drama. I like the main couple, and then the second couple grew on me. I wish the story overlaps, instead of having to show the first CP RainPyu first and then PaiSky in the second half. I read there's a reason why they did that because in the book; both couples start their romance and meet each other at a different time. I just wish they could have fit everything because it gives me the impression I am watching two different dramas lol.

I like how strong the leads are, and I like how there is no force stuff in here.

This is the same author from TT, so if you like TT you might like this one.

Quite unexpectedly good!!!!

This drama was better than I expected. I went in expecting nothing, but the plot, acting, directing, and chemistry blew me away. I have never watched the leads in anything, so it was good to see them in this drama. They are both good actors.

The ending was confusing to me because I think I miss the reason why the leads were separated for three years?? I'm assuming the vlogger ghost guy need some time to himself so he left. Then he came back and be with his boyfriend; who became a celebrity. I like the ghost family, and was sad when they all disappear into thin air :(.

Overall I enjoy it.

Fight till the end!!!!

I randomly stumbled upon this short 8 episodes drama and have nothing to watch at the moment I give it a try. It was good, and I enjoy the thrill of the FL going after the second FL and giving her a taste of her own medicine.

All the characters did well and it was astonishing to watch how every character's life is full of riches, but behind those walls---there's deception, insecurities, disloyalty; and miscommunications.

I feel sorry for the FL that her husband of a cheater died but also proud of the FL to reveal the second FL her garbage to the world at the end. Justice was served in the end, and that is all that matters.

In the end, when you think about it the marriage agency can do more damage than good; especially if the people going there are not seeking a genuine proposal.

Horrible leads, not so great plot

Plot-This plot is about the main girl and how she is skeptical of love because her ex-boyfriend cheated on her. She went to the bar I think and she accidentally met the male lead. The male lead's character revolves around him being a player, who doesn't "believe" in a real relationship and he just wants to fool around and play with the main girl. Eventually, they ended up being friends with benefits. The main girl catches feelings, but she still wants to hit it. Even though she obviously knew the rumor about the male lead being a playboy, but she wants it---So across the episodes; the male lead and main girl basically go back and forth trying to see who will cave into each other. The male lead is awful, predictable, and is not honest about his feelings. Sure, you can be a playboy; but be upfront about it. The main girl is a mess too, she is drawn to the male lead and his fake likes and kisses; and eventually, throughout the messiness, they ended up together (roll eyes).

Acting-good, everyone acted their characters well. I really do not like male lead; his character is trash!!!!

GL plot- It was cute to see two best friends confront their feelings and ended up together :). Their plot was the only good thing that save this show.

Rant over!! :)

I saw the drama and then I watch the anime and read the novel^^!!!! I didn't know I would end up loving this drama so much! The acting was amazing, the plot was great, and character development was remarkable. Everything in this drama was just great! I would re-watched over and over again. All the music here was so pleasant, love the OSTS!!!!! I cannot say anything bad about this drama, it's just very good. It's definitely one of the best dramas I have watched in recent years. The acting didn't disappoint, and every episode----I'm always wanted more. I'm glad the episodes were all out before I start it, and so I binged watch it. It was that good! Our MC is a playful, smart, caring, and supportive brother and friend. He is a master at his martial crafts, and he is one of the best characters in the drama. He went from playful to mature and growing up. He suffered a lot in his past, but towards the end, he accomplished all that he wants to and he leads a happy life. There were happy, disappointed, and sad moments all in this drama. The Jiang siblings make my heart ache for what they went through----The loss of their parents through murder and the loss of their loving sister. You have to watch it!!

Amazing production and acting :)!!!!

What can I say!!! This is the best drama so far in Chinese dramaland :)!!!! I really love the OTP, Awu, and XiaoXi are a powerful couple who fought for peace and freedom for the people. Awu's not a very complex character, but her soul and heart are so pure :). She is all about love and forgiveness. I don't think I have watched any female lead as kind as her?? Her kindness is also a weakness because it seems like so many bad people are betraying her, but in the end, she came out as a winner as her heart is always in the right place. XiaoXi is a warrior that is all for peace and equal-ness. He marries Awu and they built their life on love, kindness, and trust. Their relationship was so nice to see because they are just loving and caring towards each other. They are far from being perfect, but they still trust each other. The plot was great in the way that it makes one think about the hardships within the court and outside of it. One important aspect Awu mentioned is that "if the capital is at peace, then the world----people. citizens will also live a peaceful life..." In the end, Awu and XiaoXi turn the situation around; and bring peace to the world :). The osts amazing too!!!!

This drama will break your heart into little pieces. I feel so sorry for the OTP's love for each other. They were doomed not to end up with each other at the start. So this story goes, the Prince and Princess from different neighbor countries makes a marriage alliance to keep the peace between two countries. However, along the way, the main lead Prince killed the Princess's beloved grandfather. She lost her memories that contained her relationship with the Prince. So, she ended up going to the Prince's country for her marriage alliance. The Prince also lost his memory, as the Princess jumped into the river of oblivion, and the Prince followed after her. So, they both lost their memories of knowing each other. Throughout this whole ordeal-the Prince is trying to make his way to the throne. He loves the princess very much, but because he killed her people and wanted to take over her country---That didn't sit well with her. At the end, he ended up alone, sad and miserable. Overall, a very good drama!!!

You will cry and laugh

This drama is about the FL, who went back in time to redo all her wrongs in her first life. The FL has three main guys in her life. One is her best friend, the other one is her first love, and the last one is her one true love.

This drama is also a kind of harem, in the sense that there is harem drama with the queen dowager. Anyways, the FL tries to redo all her wrongs and finds out the truth to save the people in her life.

I enjoyed this drama, and really like the ML. Love the ost, and cinematography in this drama.

I would watch it again :). 8.5/10.

Strong start, weak in the middle onwards

This was an interesting watch that shed some light on the MeToo movement. Here are some good and bad things I like about this drama; I like that it has a good and strong start that allows viewers to see that what you see is not what you think. Our protagonist is the "imperfect victim" ZS. She is the young 25-year-old Sr.Assistant to the antagonist, Boss Chen Gong. ZS got her position because the boss likes her, he woo her and chase after her because she is a beautiful girl. With that said, she does everything with him; accompanying him to company dinner hangouts and drinking with men. She is young, naive, and inexperienced. This is by no means saying that she is stupid because she is not. Chen Gong is powerful, rich and is the boss at the company that ZS works at; he likes her beauty and promoted her to Senior Office Assistant (which is a position that usually takes about 5 years to get to), but for ZS it only took her 3 months after being an intern at the company; she was promoted through her connection with the boss and plus he likes her. He gifted her good luxury brands, like clothes, a company suite, and purses. Throughout the drama, ZS is unapprehensive about being alone with Chen Gong. On the night of the r***; she drank heavily at the company dinner and got drunk. Chen Gong took her home and laid her on his bed; she even told her she wants to go back to her house. He ignored her words, and instead took her back to his place. On that night, Chen Gong's bodyguard follows them and makes an anonymous call to the police that ZS is being raped. Police arrived at the scene and the drama begins from there.

At the very beginning, ZS is in a complicated mess and contradict herself between her visions of truths. I like how the drama is good at showing that not one version is the truth, and also good at showing literally what is the "Imperfect Victim," and its meaning in the drama. As the plot unfolds, ZS became a victim of her voice and treading the line of her words against his (Chen Gong's words). To sum it up, I like how the drama starts off strong, with good acting, and the ending song was nice too.

LinKai played by the actress was good and her delivery lines were amazing!!! She definitely knows her craft since she's a veteran actress. Chen Gong is also played by a veteran actor and he played it well. The captain policewoman was amazing!!! Basically, all the older actors played great here. ZS played by Jelly did a good job too. I saw her in one drama, and here she really improves her acting. I also like KangHui and YinZhang.

What I didn't really like is that this drama was longer than it needs to be; because it was draggy from the middle to the end. In some episodes, it seems like filler, and the plot was slowly moving along. I think YinZhang's gf plot was too long to tell; although I can see why it's in there. Other than the drama being too long, overall it was good. 7.7/10.

Definitely watch this drama with an open eye, and trust the process.
