This, my friends, is a truly fitting homage to one of China's legendary martial arts heroes! A thrilling, action packed, never-a-dull-moment gem of a drama, reminiscent of the days where kung fu/action drama relied on actual skill rather than CGI.  Definitely not your typical fluffy idol drama. 

And it's not just the stunningly choreographed fight scenes that will keep you glued to your seat (or jumping up and down in glee).  The plot and characters will definitely keep you glued to the screen...

Final Review - Jiu Liu Overlord (2020)

Final Review/rating -  Jiu Liu Overlord (2020): Pride and Prejudice in the Tang Dynasty which begins well but sadly fizzles out 

Jiu Liu Overlord (2020)

This is 6/10 stars ✮✮✮ from Pandafan🐼

Overall rating:         6 Stars

Plot:                       5 Stars

Acting/cast:            7 Stars

Couple chemistry:   6 stars

Music:                    6 Stars

Re-watch value:      5 Stars

Enjoyment factor:   6 Stars


I've finally finished Jiu Liu Overlord and have mixed feelings.  This started with such promise - think Pride and Prejudice in a Tang dynasty setting with a Darcy-like Li Qing Liu rethinking his prejudices and falling for the proud and carefree Lizzie-like Long Ai Yi. Unfortunately, the drama loses steam part way through and doesn't quite live up to its promising beginning.  That said, if you're a fan of Bai Lu, this is still worth watching for her alone.

Final Review - The Sleepless Princess (2020)

Final review/rating: The Sleepless Princess (2020) - Adorable couple chemistry and a Tale of Two Endings 

This is 8.5/10 stars ✮✮✮✮ from Pandafan🐼

Overall rating:         8.5 Stars

Plot:                       7 Stars

Acting/cast:            9 Stars

Couple chemistry:   10 stars

Music:                    9 Stars

Re-watch value:      7 Stars

Enjoyment factor:   8 Stars


The Sleepless Princess definitely lived up to the promise of the first few episodes. It's a squeal worthy romcom, which (fair warning) gets increasingly angst filled in the middle to end episodes.  For those who felt shortchanged by the open ending in episode 35, fear not, there is an epilogue episode that ties up the loose ends! 💕

A romance between intellectual equals💕

Maiden Holmes
 is so wholesomely satisfying! Finally, an intelligent heroine and an equally intelligent and high EQ hero, who isn't intimidated by having a smart lady by his side.  I get the feeling that Prince Qi would happily cook dinner and change the kid's nappies while his wife goes out and kicks baddies' butts, while also providing any backup she needs. In a word, ideal!

Final Review/rating - In a Class of Her Own (2020): Heartwarming tale of friendship that strikes all the right comedic notes 


This is a solid 8/10 stars ✮✮✮✮ from Pandafan!🐼

Overall rating:         8 Stars

Enjoyment factor:   9 Stars

I highly recommend this drama if you want a friendship heavy, fluffy romcom that hits all the right comedic notes and doesn’t take itself too seriously. The cast are gorgeous, the scenery and costumes are gorgeous, the entire drama is gorgeous. 36 episodes is about the right length - some episodes did falter a little in terms of pacing - but I had so much fun following our Fab Four that I’d happily have sat through another 10 episodes of their adventures. I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to our Yuanshang Quartet - it’s been such a feel good, angst free, often laugh out loud 36 episodes with our plucky heroine and her hot friends. A real joy to recap 😃
