There are some ridiculous moment with Qi Tian character but overall it is a cute Romcom
Please Be My Family is a cute RomCom about Qi Si Le and Song Hao Yu, who raised their siblings' children as their son and daughter form a family together to support each other.The two kids are adorable, but I don't like the voice dubbing of the two children. It was sometimes annoying, and I could tell that adults dubbed it.
The acting is not bad from both the lead actor/actress, and the 2nd CP did a good job as well. I am enjoying this drama so far, giving it a 7.5 for good acting and a decent script.

Don't waste your time. Cheesy and corny RomCom with bad acting
"From Repair to Pair" is last year's RomCom drama released in Dec 2022. I did not watch it and was not plan to watch it. However, I ended up watching it to kill time while waiting for new dramas to be released by iQiYi, Tencent, YouKu, and MangoTV.I was so disappointed with this drama for the following reasons:
- Bad acting across the board from lead actors, actresses, and supporting cast.
- It was a bad script.
- I was annoyed by Zhang Chao, the ML who played Qin Zhi Yuan, a well-known art repairer, who took in an apprentice, Qiu Yuan, played by Teresa Li.
- Their onscreen chemistry is terrible, and both the ML and FL cannot act. I was annoyed by their relationship and interaction with each other. Especially the ML, whose character is much older than his apprentice but so prideful and acts childishly.
- Qiu Yuan's cousin is a loser, and she bailed him out numerous times; the guy does seem to learn his lesson.
- If I were his girlfriend XiXi, I would dump him long ago.
- I was so annoyed about the series that I watched in 1.5x and 2.0x speed to see the ending. To my disappointment, it was a cheesy and stupid ending.
I give it a 4.0 rating and would not recommend anyone to watch it.

It is a comical gangster love story that was a bit dull but watchable
"Ash Is Purest White" is a violent love story from 2001 to 2017. By Western standards, it was not a violent love story because there was no killing.Qiao Qiao (played by actress Zhao Tao) hangs around with the wrong crowd and falls in love with a gangster named Bin (played by Liao Fan). During an altercation between the gangs, she fired a gun in the air and got arrested, and went to jail for 5 years. After she got out, her lover moved on.
She was on a quest to look for him and eventually found him. They broke up but got back together after a stroke paralyzed Bin. There were a few comical moments, but overall the story was slow and dull.
I give it a 6.5 rating because it was not exciting. The acting was mediocre as well.

Don’t waste your time. I didn’t even finished it because it was so bad.
The movie is so stupid and the acting is terrible both from the CP. the movie so slow and boring The CP dated 7 years, and finally her BF proposed. He didn’t know that she had a fake marriage 10 years ago. She wanted to get the divorce but can’t fine her precious husband because he disappeared.I am dropping it and give it a 2.0 rating. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad movie. How much I can write more about it since it was so bad. The acting is bad, the script is bad, and the onscreen chemistry between the main CP also bad.

Love the Wangx2. Watched them OWGM and now this. Awesome Romcom and fun to watch.
The Love You Give Me is another contemporary drama that reunited Wang Yu Wen and Wang Zi Qi together again. Their onscreen chemistry was off the chart in Once We Get Married, and now again in this drama.The script is good and focused on the mature relationship between the two, especially since together they have a son.
I like this drama a lot because Wang Yu Wen's character is a very capable mom and career woman in AI high-tech world, and Wang Zi Qi is an investor who invests in high-tech companies. Hence it makes their work relationship equal, and the kid, Cui YiXin, is so cute and smart playing their son, Min Quan Quan.
I don't care much for the 2nd and 3rd CP because they are unnecessary. It would be more interesting if Dr. Zhou RuJi had been more vocal about his interest in Min Hui; then, it would have made the dynamic of their relationship more interesting. I'm not fond of Yao Zi Zhu's character; she is annoying.
Overall, it is not a bad drama; I look forward to new episodes released M-Th and rewatch them often. I am giving it an 8.5 rating. A couple of songs in the OST are good as well.

It is a mediocre Xianxia movie with bad plot and stupid cliffhanger
Jade Dynasty, started by Xiao Zhan, Li Qin, and Meng Mei Qi, is a mediocre historical Xianxia movie with an interesting plot but not a good ending.The beginning explains how he got to the heavenly realm, but the ending does not explain how he got the demonic blood in his DNA. The ending has a cliffhanger, and stupid for them to let him go knowing that he can be potentially bad.
For a 2019 movie, I expected better CGI. I would rate it as a C-rated movie and give it a 6.0 rating. MarcusHere, a Youtuber recommended it, so I checked it out since it started Xiao Zhan. I was not impressed because the plot is so stupid.

A better crime drama in compared to "Who Is He". Chen Xiao performed great.
Thirteen Years of Dust tells the story of a series of serial homicides in Nandu 13 years ago, starting with Chen Xiao and Chen Jian Bin as they tried to solve the murders.Due to the limitations of CSI at the time, they failed to lock the suspect's case, so it became an unsolved case. 13 years later, the serial murder case resurfaced; the older and younger policemen joined forces again to investigate the cold case.
The flow of the drama alternate between 1997 and 2010; it is boring but not too bad. I think it is better than Who is He so far. The last 4 episodes reviewed more clues, and the unexpected suspect was eventually revealed.
I think it would be better for any crime drama to be cut short between 16-20 episodes so that it does not become draggy and dull. Otherwise, the theme and plot are repetitive as the policemen try to solve the crime.
I believe Chen Xiao performed better in this drama than last year, Being a Hero with Wang Yibo. Overall, it was not too bad; I give it a 7.0 rating.

Cute drama about older woman and younger man. Wu Lei and Zhou Yu Tong are awesome in this drama
Nothing But You is a good romcom about an older woman (10 years gap) and a young tennis player starting, Wu Lei and Zhou Yu Tong.I loved Zhou Yu Tong and first watched her in Begin Again with Simon Gong, and I have followed her ever since. Although her recent dramas didn't do quite well, in my opinion, due to bad scripts (i.e., The Coolest World, Medical Examiner Dr. Qin: Silent Evidence, where I ended up dropping them), She is a good actress.
I first watched Wu Lei in "The Long Ballad," and I did not think he was a good actor, and I did not like his acting ability in Love Like the Galaxy. Zhao Lusi is a better actress than Wu Lei in that drama. However, in this drama, he did a decent job playing a young guy who falls for an older woman.
His onscreen chemistry with Zhou Yu Tong is not bad, and the supporting cast is also good. I have watched about 24 episodes already and will finish it. I would recommend this drama because of the flow of the story, it is believable, and the acting is not bad for the entire ensemble.
I am giving it an 8.0 rating. I wish there were more intimate scenes between the main CP, and I am content with the ending.

Acting was great but the story was plausible. It is better to focus on crime investigation
Echo is a crime drama, and it is another iQiyi light on series. It started with Song Jia and Wang Yang and had 13 episodes.I finished it, and I have the following observations:
- The acting was good between the FL and ML; however, I did not like the plot.
- Half of the story was focused on the paranoia and broken relationship between Ran Dong Dong and Mu Da Fu characters. It was annoying to see that as a chief investigator of a police department, she had trust issues and was paranoid about her relationship with her husband.
- It was annoying and painful to watch both of them bickering about the same thing for 6 episodes which I don't think is relevant to the main story.
- It should focus more on crime scene investigation to solve the murder of the woman.
- I think the drama would be much better if it put the focus on crime and ended in 6-8 episodes.
As is, I did not like it very much and gave it a 6.0 rating because of the good acting between the lead actor/actress.

Excellent ensemble and the acting is super, but it was too long (68 eps)
The Rebel Princess is a costume/historical drama starring Zhang Zi Yi, Zhou Yi Wei, and Tony Yang. It is about politics and power between the Wang and Xie family. Internal turmoil within the imperial family and Princess Wang Xuan's father is the mastermind behind all the disruptions and killing of the Emporer and many innocent people, including her mother.The acting is exceptional in this drama, from the main actors and the entire ensemble. My major complaint was that it was too long, with 68 episodes where it dragged out too long. It could have been excellent with a 9.0 or even 10.0 rating if it was cut short by 10-20 episodes.
It took a while for me to finish the 68 episodes on prime video. It was not realistic to have one prime minister overpower the entire kingdom. Her brother is useless for not standing up against his father even when he was expelled from the imperial palace.
I would be more satisfied if the ending where Princess Wang Xuan is the one to kill her father for his selfishness and power desire without any remorse.
I enjoyed the drama and gave it an 8.0 rating, but it was too long.

Good acting but I found the drama too draggy and boring.
Ripe Town is a historical crime investigation of the Ming Dynasty, where the apprentice Qu San Geng, Judge Song Chen, and Gao Shi Cong tried to find out who murdered San Geng's master, Captain Leng.The first 5 episodes were interesting, and the acting was good, but it got draggy and boring. I have watched 7 episodes but could not find myself to continue. After I listened to the review from the AvenueX YouTuber, she did not give it a high rating. I am dropping this drama and giving it a 6.0 rating because the plot is not interesting, and the scriptwriters and director did not make the drama engaging.

The story got weirder from episodes 18 onward, I am no longer interested and dropped it.
19th Floor is a suspense drama about a group of college students recruited to play a virtual reality game to save lives.The Synopsis:
Unconscious after a car accident, university student Chun Yu and her best friend Qing You mysteriously find themselves inside the dangerous world of a VR game. Several other people have also unwittingly ended up here, and they soon discover they were all involved in the accident - except for substitute teacher Gao Xuan, who claims to have fallen asleep. Seeing no other option than to play the game, they eventually beat the level and wake up ... only to return the next night immediately.
Faced with deadly monsters, puzzles, and mind games, the players must learn to cooperate despite being unsure if they can trust each other. The pressure increases when it turns out that people who die in the game fall into a coma in real life. And then several more students are dragged into the game! The group spends their night.
My Reviews:
1. It is like Squid Game but less gory.
2. It had interesting plots with good thrillers and suspense values in the first 8-10 episodes. Still, as it progressed, it became draggy and boring. It would be better if it finished in 16 episodes instead of 30.
3. It was something different for Miles Wei, unlike his typical rom-com role. I am glad that he is branching out to other genres.
There is no romance between the main CP, even though it is insinuated.
4. It is predictable, and for every challenge they take, I know they do it without sacrificing someone.
5. I have watched 23 episodes and am no longer interested in completing them. I am dropping it.
6. The FL was hypnotized and stuck into a cocoon, and her dad is a chef who sacrificed himself to save her, which was weird.
I am giving a 5.5 rating because the story is getting stupid and draggy from episode 10 onward.

Don't waste your time with this drama. Awful script and onscreen chemistry between YY and WCR,
YY has better onscreen chemistry with ZLS in WRTW and acted better in that drama. I rewatched that drama so many times I lost count. Whereas, his onscreen chemistry with Wang Churan sucks. I would not recommend you watch FWOMH with Yang Yang and Wang Churan. I was frustrated watching this drama because of his awful onscreen chemistry with WCR. I have already watched 20 episodes of this drama, and the pace is so slow, and the script is stupid. I don't like WCR's character in this drama, and YY isn't convincing as a fireman. I think William Chan is a better fireman in ADWTF.Twenty episodes in, they are still not together and bickering, and her overbearing adoptive mother is a hateful woman and a bitch.
WCR's character is weak and annoying to me. She is a strong ER doctor who speaks up about her viewpoints with her superiors but is annoyed and timid when standing up for her relationship with YY's character.
Who at this stage still interferes with their children's love lives. It is unrealistic to have doctors co-exist and perform medical services with firemen. The drama forced their unions to the point that it was ridiculous and unrealistic in real life.
I am dropping this drama. I like YY, but he needs to pair up with a better actress to make him a better actor where he can stretch and grow. I think WCR had better onscreen chemistry with Peng Guan Ying in "Have a Crush on You." Her character in that drama is better; she acted better in that one than in FWOMH.
Let's hope that they will not be paired again in the future. I give it a 4.0 rating, so Don't waste your time with FWOMH.

The kungfu fighting scenes are good, but I didn't like the plot. I am dropping it.
Tiger and Crane is a historical/costume drama about young people fighting demons.The Synopsis: This tells the story of a group of teenagers who, for the sake of their dreams, love, and responsibility, trudge through the gloom of the chaotic world to save the world. The optimistic and cheerful mountain orphan Huzi accidentally swallows a red pearl, a treasure of Yang, and befriends the cold captain, a clean freak, Qi Xiao Xuan, a national demon master. The two young people with very different personalities are forced to go on the road together because of a red pearl, and they make friends with Zhao Xin Tong, Wang Yu Qian, and others.
Each other's differences attract them, and through some adventures, they become life-and-death friends when Qi Xiaoxuan is imprisoned to protect Huzi. To save Qi Xiaoxuan, Huzi, and his partners come together to participate in selecting the national imperial demon master. Still, they uncover the great conspiracy of the national imperial demon master and seek to find the truth about the human-demon war five hundred years ago.
The Kungfu fighting scenes in this drama have some funny moments. I think Jiang Long did a decent job, and I am watching this drama because I like Wang Yu Wen. I was not too fond of the character she played in this drama, and I believe she is better in modern drama than historical one.
Zhang Ling He is popular and has been in many dramas this year; however, I don't particularly like his acting. He is another one-dimensional actor with the same facial expression regardless of joyful or emotional/suspenseful scenes.
I watched 16 episodes already, and I am dropping it because I don't like the plot and am not interested in demons fighting. I give it a 5.0 rating.

A very inspire story of human triumphant post a tragedy event. Definite worth to watch.
Born to Run is a melodrama about life's tragedy and how one overcomes it. The story of two sisters and their daughters after a car accident that left AnXin losing both of her legs and the life of Chen RouXuan.The Synopsis: It tells the inspirational family ethics story of two mothers and daughters who rebuild their souls and ignite their lives through a female perspective after a car accident hit the bottom of their lives.
Xiu Fang and Xiu Li are completely different sisters. Xiu Fang is optimistic and tenacious. After losing her husband, she opened a fried chicken shop for a living, all the while going through depression. Xiu Li is pessimistic, depressed, patriarchal, and has a strong desire to control her two children.
After Xiu Fang's 60th birthday party, a car accident claimed the legs of her daughter, An Xin, and the life of Xiu Li's son. How to start life again has become the biggest problem facing the two families... What would you choose to do when fate made a big joke with you? The future is blocked by resentment, fear, helplessness, hesitation, and despair, so what will you do?
My Reviews:
1. The plot is fantastic. I love stories about life's struggles; we can overcome loss, despair, and triumph as humans.
2. Xu Di, who played AnXn's mother, portrayed an optimistic yet devoted and supportive mother.
3. Chen Xiao Yi did a good job as a pessimistic and love-to-hate mother who had ruined both her son's and daughter's lives because she was verbally abusive and a controller. She refused to listen to her older teacher and wrap her life around her children and, in the process, suffocate them.
4. I love Elaine Zhong; she is a good actress who can play any role, and her acting is so good that it makes me cry in emotional scenes.
5. Yang Chao Yue could be a better actress; I dropped all her dramas where she played the female lead. She did a decent job as the second female lead in this drama.
I love this drama because the plot is good, and so is the acting of the entire cast. I give it an 8.0 rating.
