The mini series without a plot

This series is a mini series, 22 total episodes, supposedly 10 minutes each but it’s really about 7 minutes each. It revolves around a fairy/food deity being sent to the human world for punishment but it talked a turn because upon her arrival there is slight chaos in the home and apparently she is already fated. Okay, I know it sounds weird but this short story has so many plot holes that it was really hard to figure out the point of anything. As we get to the end, we are life with an unprecedented cliff hanger and it appears purposefully done. Although the cast were leads were good in appearance it couldn’t make up for this choppy series and ended like it was a commercial break.
Is it worth the watch? No, not in my book.
Why? Nothing made since and it was too choppy to really understand things. On top of that no growth making it hard to like anyone.
Would I recommend? No because their was no plot or reason,
Is it romantic? Nope
Is it cute? Nope, just people dressed up nicely.

A big no

The only reason I decided to watch the drama was because of the main male lead, but it turned out to be a big disappointment. It was a complete waste of time. The story was silly and poorly executed. It felt more like a fairy tale for young children, where you don't need to think too much about it.

These Reviews are too harsh ฅ՞•ﻌ•՞ฅ

This was fun, cute, and well-acted! If you don’t mind a bit of rushed storytelling, it’s a cute mini-drama. Don’t let the low ratings discourage you! (╯✧▽✧)╯ I give this about a 7.5/10, gave higher to offset the bad reviews lol

Okay, so I saw the low ratings for this drama, and honestly?? A little too harsh imo ૮꒰ ˃̣̣̥ ◠ ˂̣̣̥ ꒱ა I hope you keep in mind that mini dramas aren’t meant to have the same depth and pacing as full-length ones! This is fast entertainment, not a deep character study! With 7-minute episodes, there isn’t exactly time for long monologues or slow-burn character development lol.

That being said, I found this entertaining! It made me laugh, the acting was solid, and the cast?? Adorable. Everyone was well-dressed, and good looking, acting well. The pacing is quick (as expected), but the plot makes sense if you adjust expectations. Sure, there might be a few "interpret-it-yourself" moments, but baby episodes of 7 minutes each let's just be realistic and enjoy the ride lolll

As for the ending—I HATE bad endings ( I literally Google endings before watching a drama to avoid heartbreak lol) and this?? Wasn’t tragic. It was more open-ended, sure, but that’s not the same as being devastating. A little confusing? Maybe. But interpretation-based rather than flat-out sad and not at all shocking IMO, I called the ending by episode 4 lol. If you liked "The Snow Moon," "Fortune Writer," or "The Only Girl you Haven't Seen," this has a similar mix of humor, fate, and light melancholy without being too heavy. (Though Fortune Writer was way more emotionally intense, included here for balance and certain elements reminded me of it lol).

I just wanted to put this review out there because the negativity might scare people away, and that’s a shame! It is not at all perfect, but definitely deserving of more than the 1.5 stars lol As long as you have an imagination and don't mind filing in a few holes on your own (common imo for mini dramas lol) then this should be entertaining for you ᵔᴥᵔ
