Reviewed solely as a Taiwanese drama

I wanted to watch this since maybe earlier this year, but I could not get over episode one, it was soooooo boring, so I dropped this drama. Somehow I keep coming back to this drama, so I checked out the comment section and honestly, soo many bad comments I changed my mind and decided not too watch anymore, then again I couldn't shake it, I really wanted to know why the rating was so high and the comments so bad, so I went ahead to watch.

The drama after the first 2 episode, as someone else mentioned, I watched it with the speed at around 2x, after i got to episode 3 i changed it to 1.25x, I started to enjoy the drama, the whole story of going into the comic and so one was pretty great, the romance was beautiful and the chemistry with the leads was amazing, best I've ever seen for a Taiwanese drama, tbh, it was great chemistry, and then there was episode 12 hahahaha... you got to watch to know, I kept wondering "What am I watching" hahaha, they really have great chemistry in this, it makes up for all the scenes with he power struggle in the real world, you can skip those if you want.

so my rating and review is based solely on the fact that as a Taiwanese drama, it was pretty good, minus the power struggle stuff and how slow the first two episode is. I personally think for those reasons it definitely deserve the rating it got. Truly one of the best Taiwanese romcom out there. I also didn't realize how naturally beautiful the FL was,, even with the ugly clothes, she is soo beautiful, I've only seen her in 2 movies, it's my first drama with her. ML is very handsome and a good actor as well.

Hmmm.. could have been better

This show started out very interesting and it was sooo funny, but then in the middle it started to get a little boring and draggy. At first I wanted to watch it, it seemed interesting also it has high rating, but then the comment section was saying that it was draggy, boring, so on.. but then I cannot remember why i decided to still watch this, but I did. I'm not sure whether to say I regret, but I only stick with it because I had already invested time, so I ended up continuing watching it with the 2x speed, that's how I was able to finish it. I wish they had change up some stuff in the middle of the show, that would have made a huge different, I like the different story of the gumiho turning into a human, no other fighting other species, just a nice love story, but it need more work. I never ever say this, but I don't think this show deserve such high rating, Idk how it got this much, I've seen so many other kdrama that was 100 times better than this show and ratings is less.

Amazing chemistry and beautiful love

This drama was really amazing, i had it in my playlist since the first trailer came out, but didn't watch it until now, 8 months later, I guess i was concern it may be one of those with a break up and just have my heart hurting r something, but then i decided it was in my playlist for too long and i should watch it. I was hooked from the first episode, though my expectations wasn't high i knew it was gonna be good, but not that good, it was way better than i expected, the FL was so beautiful, intelligent, well dressed and she was not annoying in any way at all, the ML was soo handsome, not cocky and mean, he was also intelligent and hardworking, they had amazing chemistry and i dare to say one of the best couple i ever saw in a cdrama.

The friend was a tiny bit annoying when they got to college, but then it was whatever, everyone did amazing in there roles, nothing was left to question, i didn't find any plot holes either, i finish the drama well satisfied, haven't seen a drama in a long time that the entire last episode was filled with pure happiness, and not just the las 10 mins, that was really good.

there is soo much i can say about this drama, but i may end up writing a book here hahaha, so i'll just say this couple, this drama, the story, the acting it's a 10/10 for me ad i usually don't give 10/10, i enjoyed this. I binge it without being overly obsessive or anything haha, it was a great watch, you can watch this in any mood at any time, its not heavy on drama, its just really great, and the message as well was great, about changing your life, making dreams into reality.

Don't miss out on this gem!. Forever Love

Simple

I watched this drama because I'm currently waiting for 2 new drama's to finish airing and subbed, Also because Simon Gong is in it, I really do enjoy his acting.

This drama was pretty simple, I loved the story to be honest, it really wasn't bad, but i did skip through a lot never the Main Couple, but the secondary couple and charcaters. I absolutely love how the guy chased the girl, it made this drama really nice seeing this.

As much as i did skip through, the acting was good. Simons Gong has thing thing with his eyes, he can literally make you feel so sorrrry for him, or fell in love with him simple by his eyes, that's pretty unique and i love that about him, it makes his acting special. The FL she's pretty new, but i love her character in this, she wasn't annoying at all, and she wasn't boring, she wasn't a ditz either.

The chemistry was okay, it was there but it was simple okay. There were a few things that i thought, oh my gosh are you kidding me hahahaha.. but hey, it was a good watch, i finally got it off my watch list. I think if they had change up some stuff, this drama would have been much better.

If you wanna watch to occupy your time, bored, in between a drama you're waiting for (like me) then go right ahead and watch.

Great story and chemistry

I'm writing this review after re-watching, I first watched the drama while it was airing, but never wrote a review. I just re-watched it and decided to write my review now.

This was the third xianxia drama I've seen, and its the first drama i watched while airing, i just happened to see it on Viki and thought it looked great so I watched it, waited every week for the episodes and subs, it was also my first drama with Xu Kai and Bai Lu who are now two of my favorite Chinese actors.

This drama was pretty good, the chemistry between the leads were great. the only issue is that it did get a little bit draggy closer to the end, and there were some bad editing, which is no fault to the story and actors, so i stuck with my 9/10 because well i watched it twice so i really enjoyed it.

You'll love the story for this drama, you'll maybe cry for some of the deaths, and you'll be very angry and furious with the villains, trust me if i could have gone into the screen i would have, that's how furious i was with the villains, they played the role too good, i hated them soo much loool.

Give this drama a chance, lots of beautiful faces, great storyline, a great message as well "We're not always right", and "We should always check ourselves first before pointing a finger at someone else, because we might end up being the worse one" soo many things you can take away from this, and the best enjoyment you can have.

Sooooo sweeet

This was such a sweet and romantic show, and it's my first time giving a full score for music in a cdrama, the music in this was sooooo good.

I loved the FL she was soo mature in this, she's older than the ML in the drama, but she was still very mature and sweet, wasn't annoying or anything. The ML did a great job with his role as well, they both had such a great chemistry, i find there chemistry in this better than ML other drama put your head on my shoulder.

I have no complaints with this drama, it was a great watch, for those who love romcom, and tons of sweetness between the lead then this is for you, any misunderstandings they deal with it vert maturely, loved that.

Best body swap drama

This drama was really good, the whole body swapping was done very, you can truly tell when they switched, there personality, speech and conduct when swapped was on point,

I really have to give props to the ML and FL they both did a great job with this concept. The chemistry and kissing scenes were great, soo sweet, its real kisses too lool, you could see the passion and love between leads.

I did read some comments regarding the ending, and also read it's because of passing the censorship in China, not sure how true that is, but if that's the case its very understandable and i personally have no complaints about it.

The drama got a tiny bit draggy, but tbh not for a long time, its very very minimal, but the comedy, you'll surely laugh out loud with some of these scenes and with the acting, I enjoyed it soo much, great laughs so i have no regrets.

I recommend the drama for those who love romcom, it's sooo funny and the romance is sooo sweeet, hmm... hahaha cheers to the MC

I wasn't sure what to expect watching this, I saw a few clips a couple months ago and added it to my watchlist, but I never got around to watch it. I saw the reviews on mydramalist and its literally the highest rated chinese drama I saw for romance, so I decided to give this a try.

I thought this was just so amazing and indepth, usually I only watch these heavy dramas if they're Korean, it's my first to watch a modern drama that has this kuch conflict etc. But I enjoyed every bit of it, there was so much going on in te kids lives, I felt so heartbroken so many times, it's truly great that they has each other to to through or get over there traumas.

I also liked the different perspective and approach they took for this drama, some may say anti-feminist but that's not quite fair, many times I've seen so many single mother shows, movies around the world but you never really see single father shows, that's just as important or indepth like the latter. They truly did a great job portraying these things in this drama, it was a great experience watch this, seeing how the fathers were and how the moms were, moms make mistakes just as dads though sometimes and I loved the story about this one, it shoes you that it is possible to happen and how each mom resolve there issues with there kids or how the kids resolves the issues with the moms and some dads as well.

The romance stars halfway through, it's pretty sweet between the ML and FL. I wouldn't really say there is a love triangle, so don't worry about that. This was a great experience to watch, good life lessons and so on. I enjoyed it.

The reason I give 9.5/10 stars, was because there were a few things that I wish was a bit different, the way the romance started I wish they kinda took a different approach or different choices of words. Also I wish one of the mom had apologize to her child for a specific incident that they didn't not cause but was blamed for, it traumatized the child and though the mom apologized for many things. I wish that specific thing was addressed and discussed because it was the main root and cause of the broken relationship. Other than that, even though there wasn't a whole lot of romance, it's my first to truly enjoy such a drama like this.

Another things I loved is the FL, I watched this also mainly cause I just finish watching Under The Power and loved it, and loved the character and acting if the same FL, so I thought I had to really pick this up, she is an amazing actress, I love how she never ever comes across as annoying, I've seen so many chinese and other dramas and gosh the FL most are so annoying at some point. Her character in this isn't at all, and she doesn't chase the guy/guys, she's the one being persued I loved that.

Slow build up romance, but never dragging. Simply beautiful

I wasn't sure I wanted to watch this, because i thought it would have a lack of romance and too heavy of politics. But I'm soooo happy that I watch his drama, it was amazing.

The costume in this drama was just gorgeous, everyone was dressed well.

The acting 10/10 for everyone, they did a great job, there were never any cringy moments.

ML he was my favourite character, he was dressed very well, his outfits were all amazing and very flattering on him, I loved how unique his uniform was. His acting was phenomenal, he didn't have to say anything for you to catch what he wanted to say with no words, his eyes and his body language had many words. What I loved most was that he was 100% into his character, there was never a moment where I felt like he wasn't. His character was cold/kind inside and even after falling in love etc, he still kept his personality and everything but was soooo sweet, he didn't have to become goofy and changed who he was from the beginning, to be sweet or show affection. He did it in his own way and I loved that a lot.

FL she did a great job, I'm so happy to find a female lead who is smart from beggining to the end, who is also funny but not annoying. She wasn't cringey either. The actress did a great job with her role, I truly admire her, acting was just great and not over the top like some other female leads, it felt so real and natural.

My favourite part of this drama was the chemistry between the lead. There interaction with each other was great, sweet even though they didn't get together until the second half of the drama, but I wasn't sad because it wasn't dragged at all, the pace was great. You can tell the moments where they started falling in love with each other, especially ML you saw how he was in the beginning and then you saw how he gradually started protecting the female lead without being over the top, still his cool aloof self but soooo sweet. They didn't have to do much and being around each other you can just tell the chemistry was there, I enjoyed everyone of their scenes. I loved every moment they were together! Best chemistry I have seen, no joke. I usually never say this, but i hope to see them acting together again, that's how gray the chemistry was.

Don't hesitate to watch this, i enjoyed everything about this drama, the only thing was... I didn't want it to end lool it was soo entertaining, if there is something worse than binging i did it, It was just very good, very entertaining with every episode. Truly a good watch! You really wouldn't be disappointed.

Great movie version

This is a movie version to "Itazura na kiss", I've seen all but the Thai version, I'vealso seen the anime as well. I love the story so much. This movie Verizon is short, but it has all the important details in it.

The love letter for this one is the best from all the versions, i went online and saw the translation and trust me, after i read it i fell more in love with this version, who wouldn't fall in love with FL after reading that, it was truly the sweetest thing ever.
I also love how they show you at the end all the hidden emotions and feelings the ML had for the FL, when we thought he didn't care, he did care a lot and i loved that they did that for this version, makes the ML more likeable than other versions.

All in all, its short and though it does not have all the content like the other dramas, it was pretty good. I've seen it twice, and about to watch it right now again, its perfect for one of those 2am late night and you cannot sleep, but need a really short and sweet Asian movie to watch.

Beautiful romance

I was really hesitant to watch this because it had an 8.0 rating, so I didn't think it would have been good, but this exceeded my expectations to the point where i binged watched this in 2 days lool. Definitely deserve a higher rating than what it has, I can't believe i almost didn't watch this. If you're like me and you're on the edge i hope my review helps you to reconsider and give it a chance.

I love the chemistry between the MC, they did a phenomenal job with there roles. there romance was sooooooo wonderful as well. I definitely wouldn't say that the story was totally cliche. I find in some easy its pretty different than other historical drama, regarding the reveal of the fake princess that's why I didn't think it was too cliche, it was pretty unexpected the way they handled it and i loved that. It was so wonderful.

you'll get annoyed at a certain someone, but i skipped there part, i was interested in everything else but that character lol.

I totally recommended this, after i watched something so emotional and deep like love and redemption, i watched a couple other dramas and couldn't get over it still, then i watched this and i got over it, this is sooo funny, sweet and the romance was wonderful. Truly not like the typical historical, its a breathe of fresh air. Its very lighthearted, not too deep in the political stuff, but it was very good. I love the romance so much and there is no love triangle #Bonus.

Wonderful Drama

I was looking forward to this drama and waited for it to air and finish before watching. Im sooo happy that i watched it, it was my favorite drama of 2020, and there was a lot of wonderful Cdrama that can easily be favorites as well.. but this one, idk it just touched my heart.

I absolutely loved the MC, they were just beautiful, i loved the idea of a strong ceo female lead, she chases the guy, but it was soo funny and different, i loved her character. ML was great as well, he was so real and sweet, his back story would make you feel so much compassion for him you may just cry. What i loved is that in the second half, they both had character development, we see the things they struggled with in the first half changes. It was a really great drama, I can't wait to rewatch this. I know its going to be one of those drama's that i watch once every year hahahha. Yes i loved it that much, i guess the chemistry and the emotions i got from the MC was just great for me, and there romance as well.

Give it a chance, its not your typical girl annoyingly chases the guy... its quite the reverse and they made it work!.

**I just re-watched this drama and honestly It's truly one of the best contract marriage, with an amazing ending, love it so much

Romantic

This was such a lovely romance drama, it may have the same story as others, but it was different in many ways, and I'm soo happy I give it a chance. I find myself binging this even though I thought I wouldn't. There were some moments I skipped, due to flashbacks, but this show, the romance and the MC it was worth watching. The romance literally started as soon as they started their contract relationship, it felt so real and natural, and soo realistic

I'll be honest at first I wasn't sure where all those 10/10 reviews were about, but as I decided there must be something hidden in this drama to have so much great reviews, and boy am I happy I sticked with it, and this is why...

I love how it wasn't done the same way as other contract relationships drama, I love the romance that was everything in this. The leads had such great chemistry. I love the way the ML looked at the FL, and boy the way he kissed that woman... gosh, that was something!! The FL I love her personality in this drama, she wasn't annoying, she wasn't that shy, she was so kind, bold, beautiful, and yet so meek. There were a lot of chacater growth in this as well, well especially the ML. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but based on the situations if you used subs, the music was actually tied into that, i thought that was soo cute lool.
