The Princess and the Werewolf is not a Beauty and The Beast remake; it is a fantasy similar in topic but it really tells its own story. The drama is a comedy, it has satire flair. There are some really funny and some warm moments but it seems grotesquely exaggerated for the most part. The drama is set in a historical era shadowed with a knack for the use contemporary effects such as: English language usage, the statue of Michelangelo’s David (1501-1504)-(covered by a cape, of course) that the Princess’ mother sent her from Europe, mention of abstractionist art, costumes with a modern flair, cocktail shakers and bartending tricks, a tango dance (a dance that originated in Buenos Aires in the late 19th century), and the character Chun’er which is the equivalent of a social media application, which indicates that this drama is not meant to be taking seriously for its content. For those that are expecting a great romantic story between the lead couple, it will lead to a great disappointment. The leading lady is supposed to be independent, smart, and “mischievous and lively” but, for most of the drama, her character is insufferable and she spends most of the drama been conjectural and manipulative. The leading man also comes up as only a deceitful person in her eyes even though he is constantly risking his life to save her. Also, for been a comedy, there is a REALLY unnecessary occurrence close to the end of the drama that leaves an overall sour feel by the end. The happy ending is rushed and uneventful.

This drama is great if the viewer is only looking for great CGIs; well choreograph action scenes, and beautiful settings. As for the rest, the plot is more about the demons getting their way until almost the last 10 minutes of the drama. There is a hero in the making (the male lead) that, even with all the achievements, doesn’t get rid of the antagonists until the last final minutes of the last episode while the righteous guys kept dying throughout the drama. There are some attempts at comedy that were not really funny, and the drama was more about fighting, use of great computer generated images, and twists and turns that only serve to drag the drama into a boring mess. There is a romance storyline but no chemistry between the leading couple. Overall, the drama failed to deliver a great story. Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

This is a very distressful drama that, as the synopsis says it is: “A sad and painstaking love story between a teacher and student as it follows the heroine and her plot for revenge.” The drama is a tumultuous rollercoaster that pervades up until the very end. Although the leading couple has a good bantering and fun chemistry, they don’t have a good romantic chemistry. The leading lady, from beginning to end, is impulsive and lacks trust in her relationship with the leading male causing too many tragic turns of events. The choice of a very young looking leading female works well for the beginning when she was very young, but, as the character grows older, the actress’ demeanor doesn’t show physical or emotional maturity since she keeps looking and behaving like a 12 year old. If the viewer likes dramas where the leading couple is mismatched, where there is a prolonged separation for the main couple, and a senseless ending, then this is the drama for you. [The movie is a sequel to the drama and, although it has a fairytale ending you will get to see the leading male recovered, it has a comical atmosphere and lacks a loving mood.] Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

This is a very low quality drama. The cinematography, costumes, plot, and acting are really subpar. Although the main leads have shown better acting skills than the rest of the cast, there is not a single actor that can be singled out as having done a great portrayal of his/her character; possibly the worst are the actors that are doing the parents’ roles. Some reviewers have said that the drama is cute and great; but REALLY, don’t waste your time on this one. SPOILER: And what is that ending all about? Cliffhanger of her sister coming back hinting at a second season? Is she going to take her place now? JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT! It will be terrible to continue with this series, get the main leads into another drama to give them a better acting opportunity! Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Cute Programmer is a very good business romantic drama adaptation from the manhwa "No Programmer Can Be So Cute!" by Tianyi Icartoon and Vitality Studio. Although the drama has some comedic moments and characters, there are some heart tugging moments that are very well delivered by the actors. The leading couple takes some time to develop mutual feelings and longer to trust each other, but their journey is believable and their love for one another remained steadfast. There are some cliché incidents but this drama is not to be compared with “You are My Destiny” in any way. Although he learns that his ex girlfriend (the main antagonist) was not totally responsible for his company’s troubles a few years ago and he shows her some sympathy as she tries to manipulate him, it is clear that he is not harboring amorous feelings toward her but just a kind of care for her struggles. Although the leading male is of high intellect, his has a low emotional intelligence that caused him to make errors in judgment and the leading lady doubted his love for her for too long, their journey to love and trust each other is nicely done and endearing. There are two more couples that provide some nice moments aside from the leading couple but the drama never loses its focus on the “cute programmer”. Overall, although the drama is not perfect, the actors delivered their characters well and it is entertaining. Enjoy it! Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

This is a nice travel fantasy romance drama set within a historical time period. The drama is very well done in matters of cinematography, music, costumes, filming locations, and action scenes. The plot develops within three travel times and, although the female and male lead are insufferable creating misunderstandings as they maneuver to find a way to make the malefactors pay for their crime, the drama sticks to the evolution of their twisted fate love story. There are some parts that drag a bit due to some unnecessary plot twists, but overall, the drama manages to stay entertaining. The leading and supporting actors did a good job bringing their characters to life and, although the female lead could’ve done better with her facial expressions, her love and care for the main lead grows stronger with every time she travels back and forth. The leading actor is the antihero that, ultimately, saves the day and, although he comes out as a cold manipulative strategist in order to avenge the decimation of his family, he comes to love and understand the female lead as time goes by. The leading couple has good chemistry and the second lead couple is really enjoyable to watch. The climatic fight between the last antagonist and the heroes is short but very well done and justice is served! Although there are some clichés like amnesia, obsessed second leads, and a foolish last minute separation, the drama has an insipid happy ending. Overall, the drama is not perfect but it is very entertaining, enjoy it! Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

My Kung Fu Girlfriend Season 2

This review is for Season1 & 2:This is a fun and winsome short fantasy drama where the characters of a virtual game, Bo Ye and Yan, accidentally crossed to the real world after the game shut down. In the real world, Xiao Yu and Yuan Fan team up with the master of Bowu Sect to get rid of Yan, the villain of this virtual game. Coincidentally, Xiao Yu becomes Yuan Fan bodyguard and they become romantically involved. The romance is slow burned and the leading couple lacks chemistry. The drama is farcical and many characters are satirical and exaggerated, but overall, the drama is lighthearted and fun to watch while waiting for a great one to come.
SPOILER ALERT: The drama ends well since, even if the story was a dream, the leading couple has its destined meeting.

This review is for Season 1, 2, and 2 short extra episodes!
Season1 @ 2: This is a wonderful drama in matters of production, cinematography, beautiful costumes, faithful to Xianxia’s theme of heaven, mortal, and back to heaven realm plot and setting, fantastic CGI’s and action sequences, and great acting from most of the cast. The OST’s are good but the drama could’ve had some scenes in which using just sounds and rhythm would’ve been a better choice since there is a lot of metaphorical dialogue on this drama. ChengYi (as Ying Yuan) and Yang Zi (as Yan Dan) did a great job portraying their character. They truly delivered their emotions well and they have good chemistry throughout their interactions. The reason the drama is not a rating of 10 is because of how Yan Dan’s character was written. Although Ying Yuan made mistakes in the first part of the drama (Heavenly Realm) that gave Yan Dan a painful and heartbreaking experience, he was equally disconsolate and miserable as he was also harsh toward himself. As much as Yan Dan loved him to the point of sacrificing herself, she wasted precious time with him. She forgave others with ease and warmth, but her demeanor and harshness toward Ying Yuan made her character insufferable and nonsensical, almost to the end. Still, taking in consideration that these characters and plot are intrinsic to Xanxias, theses drama is excellent and very entertaining. Enjoy it! (PS: The 2 short extra episodes provide closure to many characters and bring a happy ending to the drama)Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
