This is a very good and entertaining drama. From here on, the rest of this review is full of SPOILERS! This drama is a television series derived from the Korean manhwa of the same name but, given that it is a spin off, it has its own plot. The drama is not about a showdown of powers that the water god Ha Baek (played by Nam Joo Hyuk) and the other involved gods have; it is a fantasy romantic comedy that focuses on the developing relationship between Ha Baek and his servant Yoon So Ah (played by Shin Sae Kyeong). Taken as a romantic drama between God and servant, and other insufferable gods, this drama was nicely done. The leading lady, Yoon So Ah, is a character that carries deep wounds from her dysfunctional parental upbringing and the water god, He Baek, comes to the human realm with a mission. Both leading characters clashed for been presumptuous and self serving given the nature of their backgrounds but, as they experience adversity, tantrums from Moo Ra/He Ra (played by Krystal Jung), a goddess from the Water Kingdom and Bi Ryum / Ahn Bin (played by Gong Myung) a wind god, jealousy, and their own misconceptions, they grow to understand each other and from then on, a steadfast and nice romance develops. Although there are too many stiffed facial expressions, a leading lady that spends most of the drama in tears, quirky characters to bring comedy forth, and a spoil brat that provides some antagonistic instances, at the end of the day, the leading couple has a happy ending and there is also a smart twist to one of the gods. As said before, the drama is entertaining, enjoy it!

On this second season, the main lead Sheng Nan Fang (played by Bai Hao Yan) wakes up a month later with amnesia after been struck by a van on his failed wedding day to the female lead Su Shao Yan (played by Feng Yi Ran). Although the first part of this season has comical relief, the mistrust and misunderstandings continued even though the male lead has an established affinity with the female lead and instinctively keeps caring for her well-being. Even though this show has corporate betrayal, assassination attempts, and wicked antagonists, the relationship between male and female lead is the core of the story and, as in the first season, the leading couple has great chemistry, steadfast care and love, and a precious little girl that adds fun to the story. Enjoy it!

Don’t Mess With Ex-girlfriend is a lighthearted nice miniseries in which the female lead, An Duo Duo (played by Zhao Qing), is betrayed by her fiancé and her girlfriend and Duo Duo ends up in a fake marriage arrangement with the leading male, Qin Qi (played by Anson Chen). Although the leading couple has very good playful chemistry and their romantic intimacy is well done, the female lead’s eyes lack a bit the expressions of the feel of falling in love in comparison with the leading male’s eyes which convey beautifully. The drama overall is really nice and entertaining and the end is heartwarming and beautiful, enjoy it!

Ex-Wife Stop is a romantic miniseries that tells the story of Sheng Nan Fang (played by Bai Hao Yan) and Su Shao Yan (played by Feng Yi Ran), how they got to get married, how he breaks her heart because of many misunderstandings, getting divorced, and also getting a second chance at romance when, after the divorce, Sheng Nan Fang realizes he has lost his true love. Nan Fang and Su Shao’s relationship is full of misunderstandings created by a Tianwei, a habitual liar and deceiver, and even his own family. This drama is well done and the leads have really good chemistry, enjoy it!

Wise Woman is a great miniseries with a historical setting. The story depicts the life and struggles of Xue Wan Er (played by Yu Cong) and how she manages to come back from a near death experiences and becomes stronger as she seeks revenge upon her enemies and the injustices committed against her by elders in order to keep their family “honor” by all sorts of dishonorable acts. Xue Wan Er is a woman ahead of her times who takes it upon herself to fight for her life, protect her son, and the lives of others that have been wronged by the Rong and Xue families. This miniseries is well written and the cast did a phenomenal job bringing their characters to life. Although there is just a slight romance, it is her involvement with her lover and her loyalty to the relationship that precipitates her fall and subsequent rise to become a wise woman. Enjoy it!

The premise of this story is really nice and the and the relationship between Zuo You (the grass fairy) and Lu Qing Ming (a powerful immortal possessed by a demonic force) develops nicely and in a realistic way, but they don’t have good romantic chemistry. The leading couple carries the majority of the plot in this very short drama but the sequence of events is jolty been the main reason that the plot has too many things going on and very little time to create cohesion within the story. Overall, this miniseries fails to provide enough time to the cast to make it a better story.

Nice To Meet You is a drama that had a good premise of fated lovers facing obstacles and promising to always love and trust each other but the plot and leading characters could not live up to their promises because of the antagonists’ constant plotting against them and their failure to be completely honest with each other. This drama could’ve been better if it had about 30 less episodes since the story dragged and became repetitive. The leading couple had some nice interactions and romantic moments but, because of so many instances of doubt and push and pull from the lead female, their chemistry didn’t flow naturally. The supporting cast did well but there are too many evil acts and very little consequences. Overall, the drama could’ve been better but it is not that bad.

The Queen of Attack is a nice miniseries romantic comedy set within a historical period. This is a very entertaining drama with a good dose of comedy, romance, and political schemes. Even if the drama is not perfect, the story develops quite well and the leading couple did a very good job bringing their characters together. Some of the supporting cast did well but others could’ve done better. The comedy was done well and the romance plot line is really fun to watch and the leading couple has very good chemistry. Honorable mention goes to the very well done and heartbreaking scene on episode 4 when the female lead’s father relinquished his military power to protect her and she kowtowed to stop her father’s humiliation.

This is a cute short drama set in historical times that is just for passing time. The cast’s acting skills were weak and the drama needed more time to create events cohesion. It is a short romantic comedy and the leading couple had a nice chemistry that seemed as they had fun in the making of this drama. The leading couple carries out the drama since it is about the developing relationship between the ninth lord Cang Lan Ye with two personas in one body: human and demon (played by Cavan Wen) and Ye Luo, a girl with supernatural powers that came from the future (played by Lu Fang Qi) and how they fall in love as they encounter and fight the antagonists in the story. As said before, this miniseries is not to be taken seriously but it is fun and entertaining.

This review is for seasons 1 and 2 together.

This review is for seasons 1 and 2. Both seasons are fantastic. The cast did a great job bringing their characters to life and the leading couple has a splendid relationship that develops into a beautiful, steadfast, and heartwarming romance with very good chemistry. It is refreshing to see He Lian Xuan (played by Wang Zu Yi) and Leng Li/A Qi (played by Wen Mo Yan), two very intelligent characters, as they get closer and stronger to become a devoted power couple. Since it is a miniseries divided into two seasons, it is best to see one right after the other to appreciate that, although the production is not perfect, the both seasons are well done in matters of production value. These miniseries have a substantial plot that could have been better served if turned into a long format drama. Overall, both seasons are worth watching and entertaining. Enjoy it!.

What Is Wrong With My Princess is a well produced and performed revenge miniseries. The sequence of events advanced in a natural way and the actors, for the most part, did quite well bringing their characters to life. It is a revenge plot so the romance portion of it is gradual and subtle but the leading couple has great camaraderie as the female lead exact her revenge but there was not much in matters of the fluttering feelings of falling in love with your destined one. The antagonists did great as they were plotting together and their relationship as lovers was much more credible than the leading couple. It must be said that Mu Le En (as Murong Xin Er) brought her antagonist character of a rotten spoil wretch deluded from jealousy and hatred towards the female lead to high levels. The miniseries is well written and maybe, with lengthier episodes, the characters could’ve been more flesh out to intensify the revenge and romance of the leading couple. Overall, this is a nice production, enjoy it!

This is a drama that could’ve been great but it was not properly abridged. The jump on scenes and plot twists come too abruptly and, in the processed of trying to keep the audience in suspence, the sequence of events and characters’ reactions don’t make a lot of sense. Although there are logical explanations by the end of the series relating the male lead Wei Shang Zhi’s unfortunate marriages and his real reason to marry the leading lady Bai Zhi, the narrative was all over the place and it made the drama’s plot feel disjointed. The actors did the best with what was given to them but, even though the leading couple had some nice moments, their relationship lacked intimacy in their romantic chemistry. Overall, this drama missed a great opportunity to even be good enough to watch.

(Update after first rewatch 11/8/2023): This is a very good romantic comedy. The leading actors had good chemistry and, Zhu Ya Wen (as Zheng Chu), made this series worth watching. Zheng Chu (played by Zhu Ya Wen) comes out as an aloof and childish man whose character throughout the drama remains faithful to his overall persona: a loyal friend, familial stronghold, and a wonderful caring and steadfast lover with an incredible sense of humor. On the other hand, there is the leading lady, Su Mang (played by Wang Li Kung) that comes out as a domineering tigress but has a heart of gold and equally loyal and steadfast toward her loved ones. The drama lost one star because, at the end, there was a tragic twist to one of the supporting characters that was completely unnecessary to use just for the sake of the selfish, conniving, and insufferable Chen Shan Shan (played by Ma Qiu Zi). Overall, although I am not satisfied with some side storylines, this drama is well written for the leading couple with great bantering, slow burned but beautiful love story, and a very good ending. Enjoy it!
