Miss detective wants to take the lead. Beware of unrequited lovers from second arc.

The story : Two people who hate each other are forced to get married. And to work together to solves cases.
As they do, they are gradually drawn to one another. Will love or hate win?

Pros:
- Strong clever detective Female Lead.
- Strong clever military Male Lead.
- It is the fist time I have seen a heroine, daughter of a concubine, who is loved by her entire family and not bullied. Not a cliché. Yes (*_*)
- Chemistry is fire and the settings make it even more beautiful to watch.
- Characterisation is outstanding for Male Lead (Ding Yu Xi) who looks very manly as the great Shen Du.
- The inquiry is very good. Complex and involving many people. I try to guess the outcome as it progresses but I have a hard time doing so.
- Comedy is just great between the leads. I hope they had more comedic scenes.
- Cinematography is great.
- Action scenes are worth watching. There are few but when performed, OMG they blew my mind. Especially with Male Lead. I am still in shock (*_*)
- Overall the story is good and entertaining.


Cons:
- The mystery unfolds piece by piece and it can disturb some viewers. But like in Agatha Christies novels, you end-up getting the answer.
- Misunderstandings (who is Male Lead, who is Female Lead, what they do on their own...).
Sometimes they don't communicate enough.
- I don't like childish Female voice dubbing. Guess what ? The Female Lead's best friend has one *sight*
- Female Lead is not perfect, her many flaws could spoil your fun.
- Lots of unrequited lovers from the second arc for almost every cast member. This should be titled "conspiracy in love island" o_O

Overall :
This is a good drama. So I recommend it if you like case solving duo with strong Leads. You might like it.

And the OST is great.

Goofy Superwoman. I LOVE IT

This drama narrates the story of a female medical doctor who is transported back in times in the body of the ugly and despised Consort Chu. She is married to Prince Chu who hates her to the core and bullies her as much as he can. Will she survive?

Well ...When I stepped foot in this drama, the acting, pacing, setting, accessories... Everything was so over the top and it was so funny that I could not stop watching. At the time, the rating was arround 6.0 and now as I am writing this review, it reached 7.1. and it is going up.

Pros: Female Lead (Amy Sun) is such a great character. I love her in everything she does. She is a great Medical Doctor / Corroner/ Detective.... She is so gifted that she could rule the world if she had to.
On the contrary, Male Lead ( Wang Ting Wu) is oblivious to a lot of things and forced to obey a lot of rules, obstructing him in a lot of ways.
We would say opposites attract? And it is. Those two can't stop bickering, but it is so funny to watch.
The story is so wacky and entertaining that I like it more and more.
The music is good, like in a long drama.
Male Lead has a beautiful character development.
The villainess is very very entertaining.

Cons: The acting of some characters and the logic of the plot are sometimes lacking. For example : How could Female Lead operate a patient without cleaning her hand ect...
But, all this is done in such a comedic way that, it is easily acceptable because the drama is so crazy and funny.

Overall the plot is good and I am enjoying the show.
I liked the ending.

I recommend it if you like goofy dramas. Then this is for you.

When the lady is a man. The flavor of a BL drama.

The plot is simple : a modern womanizer travels back in time to find himself in the body of the 4th young lady of the marquis's mansion. Now what? Evidently the struggle is for him, to find his way back to modern times.

Big problem : this lady has a male thinking voice. So I was confused to see her getting closer and closer to Male Lead. How could a womanizer get seduced by a man just because he traveled back in time and he is kept inside a woman's body? Will they kiss? Will they consummate their marriage? Is it BL?
To me this plot point seems totally unlogical . So I decided to wait until the last episode to get the answer to all those questions.

On another note.
The plot is well written and there is a lot of twists and turns to this story. I never felt bored and I liked to follow the steps of Female Lead, where ever she was going to, in order to complete her tasks.
The entire cast was good and I liked their performances.

Generally speaking I would recommend this drama because it was very entertaining.

Crazy, Sexy, Cool drama with a good story

I was first attracted by the plot about this emotional counselor who helps wives with their cheating husband.
But the minute a set foot in this drama I was caught.
The drama opens in a sexy way. And the Female Lead and the Male Lead are so seductive.
As a result the chemistry is just top notch to say the least. To be honest, it almost made me fall off my seat several times. And I am not kidding.
The story takes several turns that made me forget that this is a 10 minutes drama. Actually, so much happened that I found myself passionate about this drama. So if you like a good short drama with twist and turns and a touch of sexiness This is for you.

My delicious margherita pizza.

This drama is like a delicious margherita pizza.
There is so many pizza recipes out there, but the margherita pizza is the basis of them all.
When the ingredients are top quality and the recipe is well executed. You got a delicious margherita pizza that you cannot help but devour.

I have the same feeling about this drama. The story is simple: two former high schoolers reconnect after 10 years. The Male Lead had a big hidden crush on Female Lead. What will happen?

I was more and more drawn to this simple story full of clichés and tropes but the drama is so well executed that none of the tropes nor the clichés seemed annoying or out of places.
I found myself rooting for the Lead's romance at every single moment until the 8th final episode.

So, if you like a well executed classic k-drama rom-com featuring strong-witted leads and good side stories, this drama is for you.

A feel good goofy rom-com

Imagine that you were afraid of handsome guys, to the point that it makes you sick. Could you live that kind of life?

This is the crazy situation that Female Lead is facing. This could result in a lot of misunderstandings and a lot of funny situations. And it did.

I liked that :
This is a feel good drama .
The female Lead is specifically attracted to ugly guys. That's for a change.
She and her sister are so different in every way. It is fun to watch.
The Male Lead has a hard time seducing her because he is handsome . Evidently, this produces a lot of funny situations.
The supporting cast are cute

I disliked that :
At times, the pace was slowing down a little.
The music is just ok.

If you like a fluffy rom-com with a lot of crazy situations. You might like this drama.

Is it stockholm syndrom or can love bloom from overcoming harship together?

The story : On his quest for revenge, Wei Zhao crosses paths with Jiang Ci, who spoils every plans he makes.
However, getting to know each other they are drawn to one another.

First of all, when I saw how Male Lead treated Female Lead, I could not help but wondering if Female Lead suffered from stockholm syndrom ? How can she fall for someone who harmed her like that ?
Then, as the story progressed I understood that those two share a special / unspeakable bond.

Pros :
- Smart countryside Female Lead .
- Smart high ranking court officer, Male Lead.
- Good action scenes.
- Mortal Enemies to lovers trope. Male Lead's killing spree goes far, as he is aiming at Female Lead and that's surprising.
- Great acting.
- Great revenge plot.
- The plot seems complex. That's a good thing because it is promising and can surprise the viewer.

Cons :
- One of the last performances of Jeremy Tsui as a Second Male Lead before retirement. How sad ?! I hope to see him again.
- Sadistic assassin Male Lead. That's a Red Flag.
- There are some glitches in the CGI. For example here : they stopped the CGI before finishing the scene (^_^) I laughed so much o_O
Are they saving money on CGI budget ? This is weird to see the raw images with subtitles.

Overall this is a good show : I laughed, I was afraid, relieved... So far so good.
If you like enemies to lovers stories with intelligent leads, this is for you.

The title song has just been released and it is cute : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Hl5kJUGtqs

I will update the review as the drama progresses.

Best Romantic Espionnage Action Thriller Drama

I approad this drama because I was intrigued by a prince being kidnapped. I Thought it was a romantic drama. In reality, there is a sprinkle of romance but in the end I fell in love with the power struggles and political ploys. So I really enjoyed the drama.

So what this drama is about:
On the first episode I clearly understood : this would not be a fluffy rom-com ( as I thought) but a mystery/ espionnage/ action drama. I could sens that, a deep dark secret organisation was behind all this story.
I was hooked. So, I gave the drama the time to develop the plot.

And OMG, the more the episodes aired, the more I was addicted.
I waited patiently every saturdays and sundays to watch the new episodes as they were airing.
It was a roller coaster ride of emotions as the story developed.
I was totally in love with this drama.

I heard that many people complained about the fact that the romance was almost unexisting.
I don't agree, actress behind the Female Lead ; Yong Ye Ji; said that the text might not be romantic but the actors behaviours on set are. Indeed, they are affectionnate.

But looking back at the way the story developed, personnaly, I liked that the story was more about the palace ploys than the romance.
Because, from my point of view, the suspens set by the schemes spiced up the romance and I was sometimes afraid for the Leads because of it.

So this is a great drama. One of my favourites.

And I dont even speak about the OST, which I am crazy in love with.
Especially the Suho's "love you more gradually ", "100 days of dreams" and of course " love is like the wind".
The later was my lullaby before sleeping for a long time (^__^)
