Reviews

I don't have the right to a review because I dropped the show early on.

I don't think I have the rights to write a review on this one because I decided to drop the show early on, maybe around episode 4. But I'm gonna write one anyway.

Not for me. Watching a ML who values money more than anything is not how I wanted spend my time. Honestly, I didn't find anything interesting with the first few episodes that I've watched. FL being blind and her being on an arranged marriage with the ML while still looking for justice is their selling point that fell short.

I don't have the patience to wait for his character to develop into someone admirable. I don't have the patience to wait for ML and the FL to fall in love.

My observation may be off because I've watched too little but this is how I feel about the show.

This has got to the worst adaptation I have ever seen. The cast for Dr. Frost was horribly not on point. The guy is a fucking fish, has a square face and fat cheeks. Even if the cast did not look exactly like Dr. Frost, I thought
I would be able to handle it if his acting was on par but it was not. It's like the guy didn't even read the webtoon and didn't understand what Dr. Frost it. Dr. Frost should have no emotion and speaking in monotone but this mother fucker is just fucking filling his words with emotion. I can't even. 1/10 Characters not on point, didn't incorporate the feel the webtoon has, overall terrible.

Not sure if 50 episodes is something I will do all the way UNLESS this can keep up the momentum as well as my interest engaged.

The first two episodes have had cute moments as well as cringe worthy and embarassing ones, but at least the kids equate to adorable.

In it we have a mother with major debts and her three children surviving the best way they can only unfortunately the mother isn't the best role model and tends to step on people's toes. They all end up living at "Mr Romantic's" family home (short term) until the mother does the unthinkable.

As for her daughter (Beauty), she happened to bump into a teenage boy one day (Mr Romantic) and ended up having the biggest crush on him even to the extent of letting him know it and kind of stalking him right until they had to suddenly move.

15 or so years later when she is famous they cross paths again.

And this takes us into episode 4 mainly...

Before I forget - the child actors have done their parts really well!

Actually, the boy that played "Mr Romantic Junior" is a lot better looking than the adult male version of him that is for sure. It is a shame he isn't doing both parts as he would have got my approval - just being cool and a rebel got the thumbs up.

One little thing that irks me with the adult him is the cool rebellious boy teen of yester years seems to have been replaced by a fumbling awkward idiot.

Bring back Prince Charming is all I will say!!!!

If this drama could drop all the screaming interfering women and irrelevant scenes that aren't really about Beauty and Mr Romantic I would probably stay in it for the long haul.

Women that scream and scream and yell for the sake of it irritate me no end - so episode 4 has brought this down a notch or two from the NOT TOO BAD department to OH NO! MY EARS ARE BEING INDISCRIMINATELY ASSAULTED YET AGAIN.

Will have to to do a wait and see approach...

Is it worth watching ?

Well start is not very good as storyline was very predictable but drama gets better and better as story moves forward. I think story best starts from Episode 16 after shanggu scarifice herself and then came back or probably reincarnated. Now story is worth watching as its not very much predictable as a good drama should be. i watched trailer of episode 23 its looks brilliant. Its a 50 episode drama and drama goes at its peak at episode 23 also our main villan is still alive so its gonna be a amazing fight between damons and gods while sanggu is back and so baiju but from episode 16 some things have changed. Now shanggu is not the most powerfull one but she has not magic which makes the drama exciting. Note: there is no spoiler is this review all these content are availiable in preview and trailers.

I have a feeling I am going to regret watching it but so far it’s interesting.

I am not sure if January is the right month to watch another jdrama for me but the story is really interesting so I am giving it a chance. I have a feeling this one is going to hurt pretty badly and I am kinda excited for it.
Just imagine giving your heart like that. I think it's way worse than dying tbh. So I am kinda curious how is the story going to go from here. I love when the mood is kinda melancholic from the beginning and I am sure it going to get more heavy as soon as she starts losing her senses. I kinda wonder how the hell is she supposed to live after that tho…

I will start avoiding dramas with Allen Ren

In all, I've watched four dramas with Allen Ren as the male lead, and with each one, I come away with the same impression.
1. He's too old to be playing teenage bopper roles with female leads who are sometimes 10 years younger.
2. He's not a versatile actor and has very limited ways of emoting. Also, how many times can he do the stoic, cold hero before we start to subconsciously label him as a one-trick pony?
3. The industry rumors are that he refuses to do intimate scenes like hugging or any type of skinship. It seems the only part of his body that can be touched freely are his lower legs, I mean, why else did Seven Tan keep holding him by the leg? So stupid


The funny thing is he's not even that good-looking with his big head and round face. Someone like Xu Kai (who is another overrated actor) at least has his height, youth, and dreamy looks going for him whereas Allen is going over the hill and unless he starts taking his craft seriously, no one will cast a 35+ yr old actor when there are many idol actors coming over the horizon.

As for this particular series, it packed a lot of irrelevant scenes into an already convoluted premise with zero redeeming factors (like sizzling chemistry) to bear the brunt.

The strangest tale was that the love interest was dropped out down the line

I am at episode 13 and seriously considering to stop watching it. The first thing which draw my attention for being quite off was the fact that the love interest presented in the first five or six episodes was completely forgotten by writers, actors and directors in the next five episodes. Two young people, who were presumably in love with each other while events and people kept them appart, are as stiff as wood when events bring them together, sharing meals, rooms, adventures. No emotion, no furtive glanses, no pauses full of yearning. Nothing. It did not have to be lines, or hugs or kisses. But it had to be something there, that the actors and director could have put into it, if the writers completely forgot what they wrote in the beginning. Well, it was not. The only thing going for the series was the detective stories. And the fun the actor playing the older detective put into his character. Otherwise, no character development, overall, and the series walks the thin line which lies between skematic and bare naked and lacking.

WOH is The best Wuxia ever

I love all about Word Of Honor .. love the story, acting, ost & I love the both actor Zhang Zhe Han & Gong Jun ❤️❤️ They are very handsome & talented. The best Wuxia ever !

Though it's only 13 episodes I have watched until now but The story is very beautiful, and the actor Simon Gong's acting skill totally cool ! And his expressions ohh my God ! And when they flirting expression very cute .. There are a lot of fun elements. The audiance will eventually laugh and get along with it. Zhang Zehan acting as Zhou Zi Shu very good , he is cold but sometimes very cute.

I love this drama ! They are updating 1 episode per day with sub .. i almost die to wait ? hopefully everything goes well untill end of episode.

This drama is not for me, but I would still like to share my thoughts for any others planning to start this series. There is nothing exciting/ notable about the story or characters after 2 episodes. Here is my suggestion, jump to the following clip as a sneakpeak of what is to come. If you think the 5 minute acting and interaction between characters in the hotpot clip in Episode 2 Timer: 33:35 - 38:15 is bearable, be my guest and continue to follow the series.

Story
Initial story is about a mixup of bags between Si Tu Mo and Gu Wei Yi which causes problems for each other. Later on, Gu Wei Yi 'saves' Si Tu Mo from a bad situation which leads to Si Tu Mo wanting to repay Gu Wei Yi by going an extra mile to resolve Gu Wei Yi's current situation. Furthermore, I don't like how the drama uses side characters to be "I just happened to be here at the same spot and time" to drive story and a wedge between the couples (I am looking at you Mr. Physics Teacher)

Acting/Cast/Characters
After watching 2 episodes of the drama, I can confidently say that most characters/casts' acting are bad.
-Fair Xing (Si Tu Mo) is doing her absolute best to give life to her character, but the other casts' acting are so bad, it makes her look like she is doing a terrible job too. (the half a star is for her trying)
- Lin Yi (Gu Wei Yi) is literally a robot. His acting has 3 steps. Step 1. Look to side, Step 2. Say Line, Step 3. Don't blink or Look Around. Having looked at his profile on MDL, he is a total beginner. (Can't say if his acting gets better later on)
- Daddi Tang (Fu Pei)'s character is very cliche. Likes Si Tu Mo but doesn't give 2 cents/ make the effort to chase the girl.
- Also making a point, the random one-time side characters' acting are really bad too.

Music
Since I have only watched 2 episodes of the drama, I cannot comment if the music/ OST are good or not so I just gave an average of 5.

Rewatch Value
I do not recommend.

Why I gave the drama my current rating? (1)
The acting was so atrocious, I had to drop the drama. If the story was interesting, the drama could be redeemable, but the plot is bottom tier too. I am already expecting angry fan-girl replies to this review, but this is my honest opinion.

After 44 it become a disgusting 18+ show

first acting other that old man no one was able to act or director wanted them to over react in every scene,

Main couple were disgusting mother and son
it was comdey but still relationship between step mother and son was disgusting
and they way they act innocent was more disgusting
i know it was fake marriage but they could have waited until that old man die
it was so disgusting to see them kiss

it would have been more fun if third son would find there fake marriage after 80-90 epsiode and then they begin there relationship adter clearing everything

Don't Invest , not a Family Love drama... it's going to turn into a love triangle.

I was looking forward to this drama given that it had Seven Tan and SWL. But I was very disappointed despite enjoying the first five episode, because this drama is going to turned into a love triangle. It's so disturbing , it ruins the family plot that originally peaked my interested in this drama. I am so sad! The synopsis completely lied to me! I also find it strange that despite growing up together, they did not form that chemical bond in their brain, that most individuals will naturally form with their family members, making them unattractive to their sibling and parents.

Don't watch it if you are looking for a heart warming family drama.

I am not sure why this drama is averaging a rating of a 9!

Before I get started with my review, it's important for me to mention that I typically don't like Chinese romcoms. I've tried to watch at least seven over the last 5 weeks, and in most cases I couldn't make it past episode 6. I fancy Chinese period and historical dramas. Chinese romcoms tend to be over the top with it's effects (e.g. slow motion) and unrealistic romantic love between the two leads. Personally, I like for there to be some realism even in fictional romcom dramas.

I think the reason why this romcom is receiving such a high-rating is because it's a feel-good drama, as opposed to a drama with true meaning behind the story. If you want to imagine that there's a perfect guy out there for you, watch this drama and it'll give you hope lol.

Regarding the acting, the female lead actress (not the character) seems to act the same way in this romcom as she did in her previous drama, The Imperial Corner (a period drama). I am starting to notice that the younger Chinese actress/actors don't have versatility when it comes to acting. In this romcom she wasn't very expressive, and she looked clueless; that type of acting worked in The Imperial Corner, but not in this drama.
