Romance mixed with Historical Drama
I watch "The Real Has Come" and I wondered how K-Drama Producers and Writers could go beyond that Drama, because it was a great drama. I found the answer in the drama "My Dearest" and "My Dearest 2". These two drama are outstanding.The costumes for there era is on point. The raw violence for that era, makes you wonder it you could survive in that era. Scenery and stag props goes with the times. It makes you wonder how in the world could one live back then. The Life expectancy for that time couldn't be that long. The way women were treated wasn't very well, especially if you were poor. I mean look at how they were treated they got caught by the invaders. If their family would out cast if they came back and were touch by an invader. The Boyfriends or husbands didn't want anything to do them. I hate it when people can see that a person is crazy, but follow them anyway.
The music score is right on point. In this drama you don't have this misplace music. Parts of this drama makes you angry and make you think "Why did they so that?" I can't say it enough this Drama is outstanding in every manner.
I am not from Korea, so I have so many questions; which is good. It will cause to to want to know more about that era. All I can say is that if you watch this drama and you don't like it: you're brain dead. I like the twist at the end. I love the ending.
I highly recommend to watch this drama. I will watch it again.

Enjoyable watch
So far this is very enjoyable to watch. There isn't a "Bad Boy" demeaning young ladies nor is there mindless ladies. I can wait to watch the rest of the Series. Everyone know the high school years were something else. Accounting to Episode 1, it explains a lot of what is going on. You must watch it or you may not understand the rest.This will be an ongoing comment until I finish the series. I really hope other are enjoying it the way I am. Everyone who went to High School can relate to the one that got away. Episodes 1-5 were great! Lin sure knows how to get underneath his skin.?
9 Episodes in and it keeps getting better. You can see each person going through their own problems while maintaining a positive image on life. I can relate to semi-finals and finals nail biting time?. The eraser part was so funny?. The antics we use to pull in High School?. I remember the crushes I had on two girls in High School?. This series remind of those days.
Ep 19 is hilarious. What they do to Pen is great. I can see myself doing that to a scumbag. The lecture part was a great prank. It remember my school days. Plenty of laughs to go around. It is hard confessing to a girl that doesn't feel the same way you do. Been there, done that in school.
I am so glad that the Producers and Writers didn't have the typical "Bad Boy" pouting and demeaning girls in this series nor do they have the weak minded, jerk me around girls. Thank You. It is going to be sad when this series ends. I wonder if they'll do a part 2, like what happened after College, besides getting married.
I finished it. I will recommend folks put this on their watch list.
Maybe some of you don't get it. Here it is: It's not a "Bad Boy" demeans girl and say sorry at the end, to get with her series. It's not a low esteem, mindless girl letting a Bad Boy jerk her around series. It's an enjoyable coming of age Romantic Drama between a boy and girl with it ups and downs. Their friends truly friends with the ups and downs their friendship brings. I will watch it again.

Typical Start
It starts as a typical Chinese Drama: Strong, so called "Bad Boy" dominating a weak minded female.Why in the world do all these Chinese/Korean romantic Dramas start the same way? I am tired of writers starting with a so called bad boy and mindless weak acting females. The man always treats the female like a pet, yanking on them, telling them where to go and what to do. They get all in their faces and the women take it and doesn't say a thing. In the middle or towards the end, the bad boy repents says he is sorry; so she falls for him. In whose world does that work in? Why can't they ever start and end with a strong minded female? Strong doesn't mean. It means if a male gets in her face, she doesn't allow it. If a male yanks her arm, she pulls away and scolds him. No wonder in some cultures men figure they can dominate females and the females dare to say anything. This Series appears starting the same way . I hope it gets better.
11 episodes in: You tell me that Li can knock a person cell phone out of his of his hand, on purpose and nothing happens to him! In whose world is that in. He should of gotten his butt beat. So far this series is going as I expected to go. In the real world when you show up uninvited to see a girl or male, is called stalking. Li is getting on my nerve the bruiting look is wearing thin. He needs a good beat down and everyone is afraid of him. Enters his sister explaining why is the way he is, in an attempt to redeem his as a good misunderstood person.
Li is a stalker. He goes to her home uninvited. He gets an one bedroom Hotel room and she doesn't know what he is up to? Really!? How gullible can she be? Now she gets paid for services rendered. Why couldn't he wait until school was back in? I have to ask and I don't mean bad about this: Are Chinese women this gullible and mindless?
Li say says fetch, Zhu fetches. LI acts like a little spoil brat. Zhu is a codependent.
How in the world can folks give this Romance/Drama a 10!??
I don't know how anyone can give this Series a 10. I hope they have a second season. Zhu needs to be seen as having a backbone and a mind of her own. Zhu is a servant of Li. Whatever he says or do (being rude, demeaning, arrogant and a brat) she will support.
I use to feel sorry for Zhu, I don't any longer. She keep going back to Li to be abused some more. Prison didn't change him one bit, he is still the self hating, arrogant, demeaning, every body are afraid of and spoiled person.
It is easy to know the ending. to sum it up: self hating, arrogant, demeaning toward women, spoiled repenting at the end, get the girl. The girl, suffering from low esteem, sub servant and like being abuse gets the arrogant guy.

WOW
If you like plots on top of plots and more subplots, this storyline is for you. If yo aren't paying attention, you'll miss some critical moments. Thank you producers nd writers you did a great job. The scenery was ok. It will show a person how people will go to make their money. You will see the cast system, which is in China (Which is not only in China). If you are looking for the typical Bad Boy doing whatever to the FL If you want to see a weak mumbling, you can do whatever and I will not do a thing FL. This is not a storyline for you. Some of the Episodes drag. It took me 3.5 days to finish to Storyline and it was worth it.Li Zhao and Ye Ming Zhu had a great chemistry going on. You could see the love and hurt both of carried, The most of all you would believe that they went through. Your heart felt the sadness of most of the actors and the deep roles they played. You can see the chemistry display by the entire cast members. Ye Ming Zhu is a strong minded , know what see wants, positive role model. The hard ache makes you want to cry.
The scenes of the cut throat Experiment Industry , was eye opening. The ways and means of maintaining rich people's money and how they get it, makes you shake your head. The English Subtitles needs a lot of works. They would always display He for She or Him for her. Sometimes the subtitles would not show up or cut out.
I recommend this Series to be watched. I will watch it again.

Great Sports/ Romantic Drama storyline
First of all I want to thank the Writers and Producers, for not making the typical Bad Boy or Rich pouting, demeaning to women, gets everything at the end of Storyline man. You also didn't make a mumbling, weak minded, you can jerk me around and I will not fight back FL. This Storyline has so much in it, if you don't pay attention you'll miss out.The way you see Duan Yu Cheng go from a sort of rich, cocky boy to a respectable young man. You can see how he was so sure of himself, to be unsure of a lot of things. You can see the struggle within himself. Luo Na playing his coach knows how talented he is and that he was to cocky. She knows at one time he must hit a wall. When he hits that wall it is a wake up call for him. He realized that there is someone out there better than him. The coach doesn't give up on him.
I just finished the Storyline. It is one of the best Chinese Romantic Dramas. Finally the right people got what they deserved. The scenery was fantastic. The chemistry among Cast members was fantastic. It was an easy Storyline to follow. Politic was bad all over the world. What happened to Duan Yu Cheng was totally a sham. Luo Na played a strong positive for female role. You can see those two go together and how devoted they were to each other.
I will watch it again. I recommend it.

Strong female lead
It is a breath of fresh air to watch a Chinese drama that has a strong female lead. Having say that, I am enjoying watching his drama. The drama is slow to develop, but once it starts you don't want to miss any of it. You may get frustrated, wondering when the evil ML will get his due, but wait karma is coming.The evil male, plays a great role; because you will dislike the character, Wei Ming. The actor who plays him Li Ze Feng (She and Her Perfect Husband) was a somewhat of a person in that drama. Ming's parents are money greedy people, who you will dislike immensely.
FL is a strong , but unsure of herself person. You will be able to see her become more sure of herself. You will see the ire in her grow as she takes on the evil ML. I feel the last straw for her is when her In-Laws steal her child and the evil ML uses her as a bargaining chip. I guess people can go into a school and say this is my grandchils and I want to take them out and no-one questions the person. In many places in the world, if you are not on the list to remove a child or pick up a child from school, the teachers will not let you have that child, regardless of relationship to that child.
It is kind of a twist to see the wife and the former mistress become friends and take on the evil ML, I like it. It amazes me when everyone around you including your parents tell you that a person is bad and you don't believe them. It is never a good sign when the In-Laws fight at the wedding reception. Wei Ming's parents are the most money greedy people I know. You will hate the mother and the father is measured. It is interesting to see what people will do to obtain money and climb the social latter. You can see what they will do and how they will compromise thier morals to obtai it. FL continues to treat her IN-Laws good after the kidnapped her daughter and hid her. Why?
The scenery throughout the city was fantastic. It's nice to know everyone has traffic jams. You know what they say; The bigger you are, the harder you fall. It was so sweet to see Evil man go down. He demeaned every women he had a relationship with.
It was nice to see positive immaged FL women. My hero was Jiang Xi, you'll have to watch the drama to find out why. The musical score for the Drama went well with the story line. A person must have patients to watch this drama.Some folks will say that it oves to slow,. I will disagree with that, because it was just right in episodes. Sometimes it was frustrating, but latter you can see why they put that in. The storyline is worth watching again. I will watch it again.
Thank you for the English subtitles.

I hope it gets better, it didn't
I was enjoying the storyline, right into they made Tong a mumbling, mindless lady. She is supposed to be a genius, so why did the writers do that to her. When Han told them that she was his gf, she should of stated no I'm not. For some reason Chinese Writers/Producers love to make the leading young ladies mumbling, tell me what to do, I can't stand up to a man women. Why? They always make the men strong, demanding of females, Do what I say, pouting and arrogant. Why? How about making a storyline where both the Male and Female are positive role models. Just because the female isn't weak minded and a codependent person doesn't mean they can't fall in love. It's getting really old always having a so called arrogant, don't care about any one else, demeans women towards the end leading men. They always says sorry, lady forgives them and the get together. I agree with Lan's mother, he is too old for her. Tong is portrayed as a stalking. mindless, naïve, submissive person. I will bet if Han told her to get down and bark like a dog, she would gladly.Ep11 was really powerful. You can tell they use to be very good friends. Something happened which pulled them apart. It's a shame, that happened. Han is a bore. He acts inappropriate towards Tong with impunity. I am trying to like him, but as of now it isn't happening. I am glad that I am knowing more what happened in his past which makes him act this way. Han has a personality of a rock.
I have to ask: Is it a custom in China where the man pats the female on the head like a pet? I know where I am from, there would be a fight, if a man did that to a female.
There are some really good laughs in this. Just like I said; you can tell the pouting Han is beginning to change (so predictable). It is a complicated story land and if you don't watch it closely you will miss it. The storyline drags in part, too many flash backs. I am 14 episodes in and I still don't like him. Isn't Tong supposed to be a Brainiac? Tong totally disregarded what her mother told her. Lan promised her mother not to have contact Tong. How many times did he break that with no consequences?
I am going to keep watching to see where it is going to go. I like the supporting cast, great chemistry. There was no chemistry between tong and Lan. The only person talking common sense was Tong's mother. The father was an enabler. No father would want Lan for a son-in-law. Tong turned out to be a submissive stalker. She knew nothing about love, but she loves a guy approximately 10 years her senior. What, Lan couldn't find a woman around his age? In the end I disliked both of main characters.
How in the world can someone give this series a 10!?
This series is 20 episodes too long. This was a waste of 3 days of my time. I will not watch this a second time.

A great Series
This series had everything in it. It made you laugh, cry, angry and joyful. I really enjoyed this series. The Female leads and Male Leads were on equal footing.Some people will not like it because there isn't a male dominated role. There isn't a pouting, demeaning to women, yanking and telling them what to do. There are positive role women in this series. They are strong and have there minds and allow to exercise their rights and a lot of men don't like it. Strong minded doesn't mean being rude nor does it mean crude. Their are plenty of times the soft side came out. I especially love the rivalry between Xu and Bia. Chen was great! I felt for her getting a divorce and it was her husband fault. You could see the conflict in her face about divorce or keep her family together. When Xu was in front of the court and see showed what happen to her...THAT WAS POWERFUL! She told her the Court don't let this happened to other women.
The cast were clicking together. Their energy was through the roof.
The ending was funny and perfect. I would say the hero in this was Song, because of the sacrifice he did.
I want to thank the Writers and Producers for not making a typical Chinese Drama: Pouting "Bad Boy" demeaning Lead Female throughout the series and towards the end repents and say sorry. Weak mindless lead female will accept the apology and marries or goes off with him.
I have watched this twice and planned on watching it a third.

A Comedy/Romantic/Drama storyline.
The last two days I have been watching the storyline. I am enjoying watching it, but it drags in spots. Hong Xing Xing and Sun Mei Xi are portraying positive role models for women. No-one s jerking them around or getting in their faces. The main plot is kind of weak, but the subplots are better. So far I watched 3 episodes that could of been just one episode. There are some really funny parts and some are ok.Wei Lan(ML) is a immature, CEO, spoiled brat that doesn't get along with his father. For once, the male is a mumbling idiot. Hong Xing Xing (FL) is a a positive , strong willed family orientated former military person. Why the producers made them as a relationship couple, makes me scratch my head. There isn't any chemistry between them. If anyone would look at them they would say NO WAY! They look like the odd couple. When they look into each others eyes, it appears Hong Xing Xing to be saying really, I am hooked up with him. Sun Mei Xiand great chemistry with Ling Ting. The subplots where great and in some scenes better than the main plot.
The ending was kind of messed up. Overall the storyline was good and the acting was so so. watching it once was good enough, but if I had nothing else to do, I would watch it again to see what I missed.

Tittle should be: How I took a poor female martial artist as a slave.
It is starting as a typical Chinese Romantic Drama; Rich, arrogant, I can get anything man(Liu) ordering what is right now strong minded girl(Su) around. She is suppose to be his body guard not a servant. The parents look like they would sell their daughter to the highest bidder for money. I bet anything before this series is over. Ling becomes weak minded, can't do anything girl, who falls for rich guy, who changes and say sorry. Anyone wanna bet? Liu looks pale and sick with all that white wash makeup on.I am sorry to say this, but Liu needs his butt whipped. As usually he can do anything he wants, to anyone he wants and nothing will happen to him. Ling could beat him up obviously and she should. Will she ever stick up for herself? Su should kick his butt and tell him to get lost.
I dislike her parents. They have no morals. They allow their daughter to be abused in the name of money. In Ep 9 you'll see that they are nothing about money. They can careless about their daughter. It makes the Chinese family unit look bad. Liu is always hold the debt over her head. I guess that is love?.
7 episodes in and this is getting more and more predictable. Rich arrogant, demeaning male changes falls for poor simple minded, low esteem girl. He says sorry and they get married. The good guy who treats her like a queen get left out. Let's see how right I am.
The romance between supporting cast was a better part of this story. They both were equal and treated each other that way.
I was right: money talks ... Bullcrap walks.. In this case all the way to the alter. She sold herself for a debt. In some places it's called prostitution. The Writers/Producers can't tell me that if she had never broke that statue, she would of ended up with Liu. There is no chemistry between ML and FL. The Producers are forcing the audience to accept that they are in Love. NO person in their right mind would fall in love with their overseer. Why does Su talk like a little girl during the whole series?
Teenagers will like this series because it has a cute boy and girl in it. They will mistake a Rich demeaning, arrogant, abusive, can do anything to girls and a low esteemed, mumbling, weak minded poor female as a Romantic drama.
I was right! There should a part 2 to this. Cute Bodyguard was so bad, Cute Bodyguard 2 got to be better. I suffered enough. This was a stupid series. It had nothing to do with being a bodyguard and everything to do with a rich arrogant boy getting his way. No-one was willing to stand up to him. Su was relegated to being a low esteem, mumbling, always talking like a little girl person.

I almost missed it
This is one of the most entertaining dramas I watched so far. Both the Male Lead and Female lead are on equal foooting. If anything, the Female lead is a stronger person. The story around DNA testing is interesting. In this drama they give you the when, how and why. The drama shows people that there're consequences for ones actions, some good and some are bad, There are some seriously funny parts in this drama.Cheistry between the cast members is great! Dong Ning Shu and Zhang Xi Da have a natural rhythum. Producers did not rush into making a romance. They layed the foundation first and then proceeded with the romance. For once the Producers did not have the ML be a rich, arrogant, get in ones face, yank the female around male lead: nor was the female lead a mumbling, you can get in my face, weak minded female (which you see in so any of the Chinese dramas)
This is a well done drama. The ending is a tear jerker. It approched certain subject delicately and it was rude nor scarery. Like I said I almost miss watching it. It is only 15 episodes long.
I highly recommend people watch this. I will watch it again.

Lack of positive female role models
This series is typical Chinese and Korean romantic/Dramas. The female is a stupid, weak minded poor person. The Man is rich and abuses the female throughout the series, until he repents. She falls for him and they get together. Why don't the writers ever write in strong willed female, instead of a weak minded, bumbling needing a male to help her out person? The strong positive female role models were found in the Series "Lady of Law".The series lack that certain repour with the audience. I like a lot of the other persons in the series they have great depth in character. What else can I say about this series? I hope the 2nd one is better than the 1st.

1st series was typical.
Rich spoil guy treats poor girl like he wants. She bows to his every wish. The main leading lady was weak. For some reason the writers always make them weak minded. At the end the rich guy changes and the weak woman will except his apology and they go on. Why the writers strong women into the scripts? In my opinion she is a terrible role model. They made her out for money and the rich spoil man, has something over her head. The good man in these romantic dramas always lose out. The best Romanic/Drama was Lady of Law. They had very strong women role models.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Grow up as friend develop a relationship
I will say at times this storyline frustrated me. The acting is really good. You can really enjoy this storyline. No bad folks as far demeaning ML and weak mined FL. I don't know how the Producers got the actors to have so much chemistry among cast members; but the did a real good. Thank you. So far there times you just bust a gut laughing so hard. There are times you grab for the tissues, because of the sadness. Yes, there are times it appears to drag.Xu Fang made me so angry, I wanted to slap him through television?. He had so many times to tell Lin Xi Chi, how he felt. He need to man up and grow a pair. Young ladies don't to talk in code. Stop dropping hints and tell her. All I can say about Xi Chi's mother, is that she screwed up and never should be forgiven. Jiang Zheng Xu was a true friend to Xu Fang.
I really enjoyed this series. You could tell that they grew up admiring each other. When you find out what happened to Lin Xi Chi and her Mother, your heart breaks. The mother could understand why Lin Xi Chi felt the way she did. Later on she realized why her daughter felt that why. Lin Xi Geng was a stand up male and others should be proud of him. Nie Yue and Jiang Zheng Xu are the perfect match.
I will watch this Series again. I recommend it to be watched.

Enjoyable mix between Fantasy, Martial Arts and Humor
The mixture of Fantasy, Humor martial Arts and action make this drama one of a kind. I came upon this drama by accident and I am glad I did. The mixture of Live and Animation worked very well.This will be a short review. If you are not into fantasy lore rooted in heritage, this drama is not for you.
I did not know anything about the Comics of this drama, but the storyline made me understand on what was going on. The ML and FL had a great repour and the chemistry among the cast members was great. The action in the drama was through the roof. Fighting sequences were unblemished coupled with animation, had you on the edge of your seats. Humor throughout the drama is great and there were some spots where you will get sad on. The graphics are outstanding.
The only thing I did not like was the ending. They could of given it about another 2-3 episodes. Zhang Chu Lan and Feng Bao Bao together and did they have a happy life? Will there be a part 2? I wish I knew he whole story. I will watch this again. It is very interesting.
I really recommend this Drama.
