Not that bad, lacking in areas
What took away the final stars:-Lin Yi is kinda awkward, ngl
-Xing Fei has more chemistry with Tang Xiao Tian in My Little Happiness
-although I watched this drama before MLH, I felt that Xing Fei was better with Tang Xiao Tian
-not that big a fan of school settings
Just reading other reviews:
-I kinda like the useless scenes, personally -- I found them cute ?♀️

Shortness was the Downfall
This is my first time watching a short historical Cdrama. The ones I'm used to span 24-42 episodes long.The idea of the plot seemed great, but if they could make each episode 40 min and keep the same amount of episodes to actually show the story, not tell it, then I would be satisfied.
Pros:
-chemistry was great
-cute characters
-handsome male lead
-main couple were cute
Cons:
-lack of depth to a point you're confused
-not enough detail to explain situations
-they switched scenes too fast to save time, so it always felt jarring
-The ending, they did end up together, but I didn't like how horribly it was done
-it just didn't make sense
-we have no backstories
-everyone is 2 dimensional
-The character arcs were basically told to us. then shown
-that's just bad writing
I love fiction books. The reason why I sometimes prefer dramas is because we get a deeper understanding of the situation because it's so long. We get to see the point the main couple meet to along the lines to the time they get married, which is uncommon in books.
Overall, if you like something that is so straight to the point, you get no real understanding, then you might like this.

Sweetest Love Story Award Goes To.....
I don't usually give such high reviews (for me, 10/10 means perfect), Soooo, 9/10 means smth!Pros:
-Chemistry is amazing
-THE BEST OST I HAVE EVER HEARD (ALL OF THE SONGS ARE GREAT)
-Slowburn, but done the right way, soooo sweet
-could not stop smiling
-natural and realistic romance
-loved the obvious pursuit of the ml
-they speak very understandably (good drama to watch if you want to practice your Chinese listening comprehension)
-very good looking cast
-very handsome ml and very pretty fl
-the way they did chemistry
-they didn't kiss that much, but the way they simply looked at each other gave me butterflies. But when they did kiss, it meant smth so it had all the more meaning
-more time dating and loving than not
-cuteness overload
-2 introverts in love
-both ml and fl are green forests (no red flags!)
-incorporation of Chinese food was not only educational, but also fun to watch!
-no love rivals (fl and ml were able to have friends of the other gender who didn't like them! That's really rare! Go platonic friendships!
-no breaking up
-best ending
-tied up many loose ends
(as you can see, I am overflowing with good things to say)
Cons:
-I felt it was a little slow paced at times
-some of the supporting characters didn't know how to mind their own business (but like it was cute)
-I wish we got the more time in the studio actually singing songs and the like (but the times they did, was extraordinary!)
-not very much skinship surprisingly
-very sweet and slow (which can also be a pro)
(cdrama makers should learn that a lot of people don't want to see angst, love rivals, separating relationships, toxicity. This drama had none, and that is why it's so beautiful!)
btw, if you liked Amidst A Snowstorm Of Love, there's a really high chance you'll like this. (They're also written by the same script writer)
Anyway, great watch!

Second chance romance
-Smart and strong fl-cute kid
-So much chemistry
-enemies to lovers
There is some parts that will make you sad (lasts 1-2 episodes) and a jump scare then happy ending in the last episode.
Enjoy!

Everyday CEO romance
It's actually really good, it's just not as good as some other cdramas.The beginning can be a bit difficult, because it's your everyday cold ceo archetype.
But, soon enough, it gets quite funny and cute. The cold lawyer becomes more emotional and nice (because dude needs a character arc)
There were some aspects that were plain weird, but like, but overlook them and enjoy the drama!
btw, the ending was really, really nice. You'll see! ?

Stiff ML
Why this didn't impress me-controlling, but secretly caring ml + passive fl
-ml just let misunderstanding happen, it was weird
-A lot of meddling supporting leads to break them a part
-very, very annoying
Hard to explain, but in the end, I didn't hate it
-they were cute
-ml had a cute half smile
-I like Bai Lu in general (the wig was weird, but it is easy to ignore) (Bai Lu had more chemistry with Luo Yun Xi)

Don't worry! There is payoff!
I painfully give 7.5 stars (I want to give it way more, but that isn't fair)Love the male and female leads from The Love You Give Me SO MUCH!!!
CHEMISTRY IS AMAZING!!!
The last 6 episodes are my favorite. All the episodes are my favorite excluding the meddling 2nd leads. Contract marriage was so good!
What took away the last 2 stars
-Just wish the love rivals can just go away for God's sake (no offense to the actual actors), like they took up way too much screen time
-Okay, I understand some people's reservations. The ml's personality in the beginning was a real turn off, but he does become more caring and drops his controlling nature.
-I just wish the fl could have some more agency over her life, I found her a tad too cute and passive for my liking (I like badass, strong, and/or smart fls)
Overall:
Although there are some odd parts, you should still give it ago!
Note:
If you watch this and don't feel satisfied, do not give up! Watch The Love You Give Me and you'll not regret it!

Slow Burn with Little Pay Off
How we got 5 stars:-nothing was wrong with acting, well casted
-Music was really nice, added them to my playlist (find on youtube)
-like crossdressing trope personally
How we did not get the rest of the stars:
Slow burn romance:
they get together in the last 2 episodes. The rest is just them flirting, which really isn't that satisfying. For me, a good ending should have a marriage or a proposal of marriage.
Actually the ~parents~ (trying not to spoil) tried separating them and it was really really painful. I actually took a break for a month and then skipped the painful part to the confession. It dragged so long.
Also, there was a lot of parts that just seemed plain dumb.
In general, I like Chen Yao. She was really good in Maiden Holmes. Hope to see more of her. Those stars are partly for her. I actually didn't like the ml that much. He was a little annoying at times.
Very much would not watch again because it would be far to painful. I'm not a masochist.
If you like slow burn with little pay off, here you go!

Not the greatest, but not bad at all either
Story:-quite shallow, but still enjoyable
-lack of sufficient backstory made it a bit jarring at time
-had some weird conflicts that didn't really make sense, but it did drive the plot
-romance was cute and no angst
-I admit that at parts I would watch at 1.25, 1.5, or even 1.75 times the speed because it got a tad boring at some parts
-The end was really cute and tied all loose ends
Acting/Cast
-chemistry was good
-some parts weren't acted as well as I would like, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment
Music
-they had like only 2 songs
-they were good songs, but I wish there were more
-But, this is a short series so it is forgiven
Rewatch Value
-there are some twists, so rewatching wouldn't be that great
-however, the couple was really cute when they got together, so if I were to watch it again, I would simply skip parts to the nice parts
Overall
if you
-got some time on your hands (like 3 hours)
-don't care about details
-are bored
Then, give it a go!

Mr. Perfect and Miss Almost

Cute and Sweet
This Cdrama was so cute.I love how caring the ml was and how naturally cute the fl was.
They also actually look good together, so good casting
It can be a bit slow burn at times, but the reward at the end is definitely worth it.
This is perfect if you want something simple, but cute to watch.
At first, I didn't really like Wei Zheming (Miles Wei) that much when I saw him in You Are My Secret, but now, I really like him
Also, the fl is really pretty in a humble way, which I thought was really great
I love how the love rivals got dealt with efficiently.
The second couple was cute and third couple was a bit unneeded, but they didn't take away anything from the drama.

The Romance of Tiger and Rose

Nice Light-hearted Romance
The chemistry was top notch. The main leads acting was really great. I follow Zhao Lusi, so that was why I watched this drama. Although I had never heard of the ML before, he soon caught my heart with his expressive facial expressions.I just wish the 2ml and 2fl could get outta the way sooner. (That was why I took away a point)
Also, the last episode gives you a heart attack, but then it fixes in a really cute happy way. The OST was great!

Power Couple
Really enjoyed this. It had capable main leads and a lot of political intrigue.The chemistry was pretty good (it could've been better, hence the minus 0.5), both are excellent actors, Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi.
This was the first Cdrama I ever watched. Not too romantic, but still puts a smile on your face,
I found this quite entertaining.
Also, the OST was awesome.
Hope you enjoy!
Update:
This is me a year later (a much more seasoned watcher as you can see from my other reviews). This drama, compared to the many other dramas I've watched, is extraordinary. Also, we don't have a stereotypical damsel in distress who needs a strong man to save her; we have the definition of a power couple, both are rivals (but then work together), so they both have brains and martial arts skills.
Please watch!!!

switching bodies trope done right
Pros:-switching bodies trope done right
-really really funny
-very natural relation between ml and fl
Cons:
-the product placement was a bit much at times, but it was also funny
-the chemistry between the ml and fl felt more like best friends than lovers
-quite a bit of second hand embarrasment
I will finish this soon, so await final review!

38 episodes of my life: Gone
This drama has a bad ending. There, I said it.The whole time, we're rooting for them. If it wasn't for Xiao Zhan's pretty face, ngl, I would have left a while ago.
The whole time, we are just waiting for them to realize each other's feelings, but they are too stupid.
I cried on multiple occasions because of this.
I'm the kind of person who needs to have a good ending. Like, I'm not gonna waste 42 episodes (around 32 hrs) of my life, just so you could make me cry, have multiple heart attacks and multiple stabs in the guts. Like why does the Fl say 我爱他 and not 我爱你 to the ml??? Like was that necessary????
Btw, I'm writing this review a few months after watching. As you can see, I'm still very emotional about it. I hope this can properly warn you...

-lots of twists and turns
-love the scheming
-love the political intrigue
-love the dealing with of the 2ml

-love how the main leads support each other (using power, finances, and emotionally)

-some of the plot twists stab you
-one of the side couples are kinda annoying (skipped past them)
-the sister of the ml is troublesome
-not a huge amount of chemistry
(I will soon finish and give my final review)
