Not interesting

I liked the concept of face swapping. But the way that showed was too unrealistic. In a matter of four hours they easily swapped the face. Secondly the evil was concious and the good one was unconscious and even though she came into sense still she was in the state of dizziness. But the evil was so energetic. I thought it was fine not to use mind, just watch it for the entertainment.
I decided to watch it only because of first male lead but his story was not so interesting with respect to second leads
. I feel captivated more by their love story. But the way the story ended their story , spoil my mood to watch it further. But it was the fact of one more episode to go. So I bared to watch till end.
Personally recommend don't watch it. If you also ship second leads like me then it would waste of time .

Very lively drama about loving someone's true self

This drama was so emotional. Well atleast towards the end. The story is about two people that are engaged, the Male Lead (ML) has a 'fan'. And this 'fan' basically switches body with the Female Lead (FL) and the 'fan' dies. And it's about the ML and FL figuring out why the 'fan' in the FL's body was murdered and about the ML and FL finding their way back to their love. I knows it's a little confusing but the drama makes it to not be confusing. But. In this drama. Is a hidden jackpot. The second leads. Omg. I LOVED THEM And I was SOOOOOO sad at the end. Honestly the second leads' story was so captivating I kinda forgot about the Main Leads. But nevertheless, this was a really good storyline. The acting was marvellous and the music was nice to listen to in the background. Overall, This was a very captivating drama about loving someone's true self, and it has the most epic second leads' story. 👘👩🔁👩🏻🧰 💝🧑🏻‍⚖️

Diluido.


Debo empezar la reseña con una confesión: nunca imaginé que iba a ver un drama de Ju Jing Yi de principio a fin. La verdad es que tenía razón en evitarlos, peeeero este rol no era demasiado exigente lo que la lleva a tener menos chances de fallar. La verdad es que fue un aditivo a pesar de ser la protagonista principal ya que la trama era interesante y se vio atravesada por ella sin pena ni gloria. Literal. Su rango actoral es ínfimo, poco variado, no se llega a meter en personaje, las expresiones no concuerda con todo lo que está pasando y se encuentra limitada a verse bien en cámara y nada más.

Spoilers a partir de acá.

Hay varias cosas que me parecen desaciertos totales a la hora de contar la historia.

Primero: si me vas a dar realismo mágico, dame realismo mágico. Tenemos en 32 capítulos solo dos episodios de realismo mágico: cuando Shangguan Zhi hace el ritual para cambiarse al cuerpo de Yang CaiWei y Sheng Ci que se "comunica" con los animales. Ambos casos están escuetamente desarrollados (nunca vemos el ritual o a Sheng Ci comunicandose) así que te lo cuentan los personajes mientras hablan del caso lo cual le deja un gusto medio a nada a los hechos. "Bueno, agregamos esto de que la protagonista cambia de cuerpo para hacerlo más interesante y estamos". Son maneras de contar las cosas que vacían de sentido a la trama. Al final siento que fue una excusa para cambiar a la protagonista principal y ya. Sobretodo porque cuando se devela que en el cuerpo de Shangguan Zhi está Yang CaiWei, todos se quedan como "ah bueno, piola". Hola???? Ninguna repercusión¿¿¿¿¿??? Cuando se lo dicen al hermano de SGZ el tipo se enoja pero al capítulo siguiente lo tenés colaborando con el protagonista principal. FLACO MATARON A TU HERMANA. Y cuando se revela en el juicio, todos los que están presentes también lo aceptan y ya. O sea les chupa un huevo que les mientan en la cara o no tienen miedo de que una loca de mierda venga y les robe la identidad. Es todo muy wtf. A la única que le importo era a la sirvienta de SGZ que se dió cuenta al toque y celebró que su Ama ya no la trataba mal. El premio a la vara baja.

Segundo: que pérdida enorme para la profundidad de la trama no haber contado más sobre Bai XiaoSheng (PJ-Femenino) ni la relación de Pan Yue(PJ-Principal) con su madre. Le ponés al personaje femenino secundario una historia de superación tremenda y nunca la contás en detalle, no me decís como es que su pasado afecta a su presente, ni como en consecuencia se relaciona con su entorno. La mina vivió una infancia rodeada de recaudadores de deuda porque su madre era adicta al juego, después me decís que la madre la vendió a un chabón con guita, tenés el tupé de comentarme al pasar que la mina se escapó para juntar plata y pagar por su libertad Y NADA DE TODO ESTO LA AFECTA??? Tenemos pequeñas ventanas a su trauma nada más, como que la chabona estafa gente para acumular guita y se siente tocada cuando el segundo protagonista dice que confía en ella, pero ya. Después nos muestran a quien la compró cuando era chica solo para ser rescatada por el segundo protagonista y así darle a ella otro motivo para enamorarse y listo. Ahí queda durante toda la serie. Encima Wu Jia Yi actuó re bien. Haganme el favor de darle más diálogo y aprovechen que tienenuna buena actriz con un personaje super complejo. Pero no.

Y pasó lo mismo con lo de Pan Yue y el suicidio de su madre respecto a que él era en realidad un hijo ilegítimo del matrimonio porque la esposa había engañado al padre. Tenemos una sola escena donde al tipo le da un ataque de /algo/ por recordar una escena de su pasado pero esto solo sirve para que la protagonista ponga ojitos tristes y diga "uh bueno al final no superó esto que sucedió, quizá no deba desconfiar de él" Y YA ESTÁ. LISTO. FLACO SE SUICIDA TU VIEJA POR RUMORES Y SIENDO DETECTIVE NO SE TE OCURRE, NO SÉ, DESMENTIRLO? No, lo primero que haces en un lugar de poder es ir a buscar a la pibita con la que el emperador te matcheó cuando tenías 13 años así te casas. Al final al pibe lo único que le importaba era ponerla.

Tercero: Innecesaria la muerte de Zhuo Lan Jiang. Super innecesario. Retomo un poco del segundo punto respecto a este personaje. Nos lo presentan primero como un don nadie que es salvado por la protagonista femenina y después como un Joven Señorito de una organización criminal. Hay un salto enorme entre esas dos personalidades, sean amables y desarrollen un poquito más. Se la pasa en contra de una organización (Water-no-recuerdo-qué) pero medio a la mitad de la serie esa organización desaparece/se fusiona con otra, es medio confuso. Se entera de traiciones, ve morir al padre, se escapa a la capital a vengarse se garcha a Bai XiaoSheng y se muere. Siento que quisieron hacer un personaje medio misterioso o frío, pero chanchero y se les mezclaron los tantos. Terminaron con un personaje super dulce que no termina de mostrarse herido ni decidido. Como todos los demás sigue la corriente de la trama y ya. Tenían mucho más para explorar ahí.

La cinematoagrafía está interesante, buen ritmo visual, decisiones que enaltecen a la trama. A veces siento que fallaba el manejo de luz pero en líneas generales 10/10.

Siento que todo eso que eligieron no contar terminó en diluir una trama que de por sí era super interesante, con personajes que podrían haberse complejizado y desaprovechando a los 3/4 de actores que estaban a la altura de los papeles que interpretaban. Me gustó, es entretenida. Seguiré de cerca los pasos de Wu Jia Yi.

The biggest drawback is having two different actresses play the same character.

The premise of the drama is truly compelling. The initial actress portraying YCW did justice to the character, depicting her as a person who has faced numerous hardships without parental support. The scar on her face made her standout in contrast to JJY.

Regarding JJY's portrayal of YCW, there's a notable absence of similarity in mannerisms compared to the initial actress. It's challenging to perceive them as the same character. Her acting style is similar in "Legend of Yunxi" and "In Class of Her Own".
and her makeup (it is same in every drama and every character she plays)..
i liked her acting more when she played evil SZ , it is really refreshing...

I think both actresses need to have a proper discussion on how the character YCW should be played. Their differing styles create a disjointed viewing experience, especially when the drama frequently presents flashback scenes featuring the YCW played by the initial actress. This inconsistency makes it increasingly difficult to stay engaged with the drama.

Regarding the love story...

We've been shown that the ML loves YCW deeply and is genuinely devoted to her. However, there's no solid foundation or explanation for his love. The only justification provided by the drama is that they met in childhood and he developed feelings for her, which isn't very convincing.

Given that the ML and YCW only met during childhood and were separated for a long period, there hasn't been enough time for their feelings to naturally develop. His desire to marry her seems to stem from a sense of pity for not being there for her during difficult times, or perhaps because of a marriage contract. Additionally, YCW doesn't seem to reciprocate his feelings.

The chemistry between the leads is lacking.

I would have preferred the story if the ML started to like SZ/YCW as a completely new person, rather than because she resembles his deceased wife and shares similar personality with YCW.

Apart from the face swapping and love story, the drama has several strong points:

1. The mystery element is very well executed.
2. The storyline is well-paced.
3. The costumes are excellent, and watching LXY is a treat for the eyes.

ok, I am dropping this drama.
However, I would recommend it to people who aren't bothered by face swapping or body swapping plots.

Story: 10/10 (The mystery and investigation are really interesting).

Mysterie and love

It's a very intriguing story. FL and ML solve mysterious deaths. The change of the FL is also very interesting. Some may not like it, because the actress who played the FL in the first episodes is also very likeable. Both actresses made a very good impression on me.
I have watched the drama to episode 7. I can't wait till the next episode is aired.

The story between the FL and the ML got me. The FL leads' tragical life.Her families' unsolved deaths which were tarned and presented as her father's betrayal to the state.

All seem to slowly unwind like a big knot giving small hints episode through episode. - We still have to watch many more episodes.-

The ML truly faithful love for the " believed dead" FL is shown very clearly. Although he at first seems to show no emotions, he cares a lot and hides every feeling very well behind a carefully put on passionless mask.

Unico crimine di questo drama? Lo scambio di corpi! Eh sì, perchè il solito elemento magico dell'intera storia quindi mal giustificato. Per carità, all'inizio ci sta e capisco anche perchè è stato fatto ma poteva essere benissimo gestito senza questo stupido espediente. Oppure introducimi qualche altro elemento del genere, altrimenti è ovvio che stoni! Per il resto mi è piaciuto davvero tutto. La storia non certo per chi cerca uno storico romantico perchè qui c'è un colpo di scena dietro l'altro, davvero non c'è nemmeno un attimo di respiro! Forse può risultare pesante alla lunga? Ma questa cosa mi è piaciuta assai perchè mi ha tenuta attaccata al pc senza farmi addormentare XD
Inutile dire che lo consiglio, soprattutto a chi non è mai stufo degli intrighi ma di quelli fatti bene!

Mysterious Lotus Case Book but Romance Version

I watched this because both main leads are popular and it looked interesting when people were telling me about it. It was good, but not the best and was boring at times. If you like something like Mysterious Lotus Case Book but with romance, this is the show for you! There are spoilers in this review so if you don't want to look at the spoiler, I suggest you do not read this.

STORY
The story was okay but there were lots of mini-cases that ended within 1 episode, which you can imagine how many there are when there are 32 episodes. I get that it was for the build-up to find who the real villain is but it would've been much better if they had dived deeper into the episodes because the cases were kind of generic. Also, after a few episodes, you'll realize that you will know what will happen in every case because it's always the same outcome, death. They should have made it a little different because seeing everyone dying for every single case made it look repetitive.

This is also a drama with the typical "know-it-all" female lead who apparently can solve everything while the male lead just stands there staring at her. Also, I understand that Shangguan Zhi (SSZ) switched body with Yang Cai Wei (YCW) but YCW in SSZ's body seems like a whole new character. In the beginning, you can see that YCW was a little timid with others as well as a little mysterious, which was what drove me to watch this drama but when YCW was in SSZ's body, she became so jolly like where even did this character come from?

The romance between SSZ and PY as well as Bai Xiao Sheng (BXS) and Zhuo Lan Jiang (ZLJ) felt kind of rushed. Especially for BXS and ZLJ, I don't think that the romance was there even though there were romance scenes, which was kind of disappointing. It felt like ZLJ went for a second option because YCW was with PY instead of him getting to know and liking BXS but it's probably because there are only 32 episodes so there wasn't enough time to build it up. SSZ and PY's romance was okay, but the connection wasn't that good either like it's good but not the best.

Therefore, I think that the cases were a little boring, the build-up wasn't that good either as it was predictable but all-in-all it was an okay drama, not even on the same level as Mysterious Lotus Case Book but this is good for something with romance and cases. I wish they would have gone in an alternative route than doing all these mini cases with all of them dying because it does get a little boring.

ACTING/CAST
The acting was okay, Xue Yi's and Jing Yi's acting was a little awkward at times but it was fine. I feel like for both, there has to be more depth, especially the female lead to bring out YCW's character. It doesn't seem like YCW in SSZ's body, it felt like someone else in SSZ's body, which doesn't align. Unfortunately, halfway through the show, I don't know what happened with the makeup but you can see the wig hairline, which wasn't the actor's fault but it was kind of funny to see that.

MUSIC
The music was good, there weren't any memorable songs but I might have to relisten all of those OSTs to give better feedback on them.

The final episode should be allocated to the FL's original face. The FL should be allowed to have her own identity i.e. own face back. The FL and the ML must look for someone to reverse the original face back to the FL. If not, can the ML accept the face of a woman he never had the feeling for and sleeping next to a woman's face he had no feeling? Can the ML face a woman's face he does not love daily? So the ending of this drama is reasonable.

My true overall rating is 2 stars for the only 2 episodes worth watching

Cdramaland has been pretty lacking lately, but this drama was my tipping point. It just slapped me in the face with how cdramaland consistently sacrifices actors who can actually act for actors who suck at acting but have money and/or connections. In Kdramaland and elsewhere, actors are expected to be able to actually act - at a minimum. Shocker, I know.

The first two episodes gave me hope like there was never before. A director who knows what they're doing, a promising and interesting storyline, and two leads (ZHHZ and LXY) who have the best genuine chemistry that I've seen in a long time from dramaland. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. This is chemistry that no amount of money or back door connections can buy. Also, both ZHHZ and LXY are legit great actors.

Then, comes JJY. With her makeup that doesn't change across any drama or character or situation that she plays. With her acting that doesn't change across any drama or character that she plays. With those two wispy hairs on either side of her face that are completely inappropriate for the period and antithetical to the character she's playing but that doesn't change across any drama or character that she plays. I mean, talk about vanity and playing (at least at the beginning of this drama) a villainess who is obsessed with her looks. On the nose much?

Yet what took the cake for me and made it unbearable to watch any further is JJY's uncanny valley face. Felt like I was watching a period drama then, every so often, a Chinese makeup influencer with a permanent face filter would pop up, seemingly time-traveled from the modern age to talk with these ancient people.

If there are any astute producers out there, I'd be booking ZHHZ and LXY right now for a future drama. I mourn the drama that this could've been. And I mourn the state of cdramaland.

The plot is good, but it's a bit tough to watch....

It's really just a matter of personal preference, but I think they stretched the appearance of the original character, Yang Cai Wei, too much. Even with Ju Jing Yi portraying her, I find it hard to continue watching because I'm so used to the original character's face. It would have been better if the writers didn't focus so much on the original's appearance, as it makes it challenging for me to stay engaged. I'm not trying to criticize the plot, but personally, I found it difficult to watch. In the end, I decided to drop the show.

This review might be me fangirling to Liu Xueyi a little too much

I'm late with a review but what's new lol
This drama has Liu Xueyi as a illegitimate son of an influential family, despised by his father, wanting to marry his love of his life and in order to do that, he has to jump quite many hurdles and solve various crime cases as the magistrate of a county. Absolutely LOVE, I love Liu Xueyi so much, I think he's a great actor, he looks amazing even without hair (Blood of Youth anyone?) and he's even more dashing as the young lord. Did I mention that he is so so so very handsome and I love him? And the character Pan Yue in this drama, the hero when you need a hero.
Then we have Ju Jingyi as the FL. Personally, I don't particularly like her as an actress. Probably because the dramas I watched with her had her casted in a tomboyish oblivious to her admirers, strongminded female lead (Legend of Yunxi, Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion) and I don't really like characters like that. But, here she is at first as a bad B I T C H who wants to marry Pan Yue at all costs and I think that type of character suits her so much. She slayed in this role. Then her character switches bodies with Pan Yue's childhood love, who is a gentle, humble, smart coroner and undertaker and the mystery begins.
We have a love triangle here as well and as much as I dislike love triangles, it doesn't bother me too much here because the crime cases and the mysteries are prevalent in this drama.
I'd say that the plot is a basic "we have to solve many mysteries which seemingly don't have anything in common with the main mystery, but they slowly add up and lead us to the main mystery" with a romance on top. I like such story line a lot and this drama has is very well balanced and written. The episodes keep you hung onto the story.
What I'm missing so far is, that we had some witch healer in the first episodes and this aspect of the drama was pretty much nowhere to be seen (aside from the bug summoning character in ep 20). I still have some episodes to go, so maybe this will be resolved.
Other than that, I think this drama is really good, Pan Yue is gorgeous, Zhuo Lanjiang is as gorgeous and if you like this genre, you should watch.

Edit to add after finishing the title: endings are endings, I was quite satisfied but I could do without the very last scene. I missed only one thing and that was Yang Caiwei should have said something to Shangguan Lan at the end, because the silence was deafening lol. Someone like Caiwei would definitely tell him to come visit if he ever misses his sister and also because he and Pan Yue are friends.
