A mini series between parody and absurd.
PLOT: a second-rate actress, FL, is sent into a video game with a classic historical plot. But she bonds with the supposed villain of the Court (the ML), rather than with the 4th prince (OGML). She will face the hazards of the game, court plots, ... while trying to bring her darling back into the real world with her.The story is totally eccentric, surfing between parody (a long series of clichés from historical dramas) and isekai.
It's relatively well played, we can admire Li Ge Yang's handsomeness.
BUT
- I didn't get hooked on this unexpected/incoherent/absurd plot.
- the characters are inconsistent, as is often the case in mini dramas.
I would like to see Li Ge Yang again in a more developed series, but I do not recommend this drama.

Une mini série entre la parodie et l'absurde.
PLOT : une actrice de 2nde zone, la FL, est envoyée dans un jeu vidéo avec un plot historique classique. Mais elle se lie avec le supposé villain de la Cour (le ML), plutôt qu'avec le 4e prince. Elle va affronter les aléas du jeu, les complots de cour, ... tout en essayant de ramener son chéri dans le monde réel avec elle.
La story est totalement farfelue, voguant entre la parodie (longue suite des clichés des dramas historiques) et l'isekai.
C'est relativement bien joué, on peut admirer la plastique de Li Ge Yang.
MAIS
- je n'ai pas accroché à ce plot inattendu / incohérent / absurde.
- les personnages sont inconsistants, comme souvent dans les mini dramas.
J'aimerai revoir Li Ge Yang dans une série plus développée, mais je ne conseille pas ce drama.

Welcome to the drama of the Dead Fish Kisses….
Its an original concept with a simple enough storyline some funny moments and good enough acting.The drama is low budget so don’t expect something big but the costumes, setting, effects and everything are made well enough so it looks quality and believable.
It has a many funny scenes and a cool mix of modern life and video game/comic moments and historical ones so its quite charismatic.
The characters were a bit two dimensional, but its a very short drama so I don’t think we should ask much more of it.
The acting was so so, and the male lead was a bit bland. The chemistry was no where to be found and even though there were 6362826363873 kisses ALL of them were dead fish ones, so if you are looking for believable kisses, this is not your drama.
Overall, entertaining and lighthearted! And because it’s very short you will finish very quickly to watch it so give it a go.

I like this drama because of kisses and Xiao Bai
I got to know about this series after reading a reddit post about C drama with many kisses. This drama reminds me of 'Love Me in Three Days' because both ML needed kisses from FL for survival and 'Night of Love With You' where ML is the antagonist,What I liked:
1) Romance - I am surprised by the number of kisses as this story is a period drama. It's great that there were scenes of getting to know each other and falling in love. I also like how Female Lead Sheng Xian explained the mechanics of tv kisses.
2) Xiao Bai - My favourite character in this series! I think Wu Tian Hao should be billed third in the cast list.
3) Supporting characters - I also like Sheng Lian Hua, ML's right hand man and the fourth prince.
4) Style - I love the comic panels in this drama.
What I disliked:
1) Villain - I think the arc is too simple.
2) The ending - OMG, what was that ending? I wish they had gone with an ending similar to 'The Resilient Dr Ling'.
Favourite scene
The plot twist in episode 17

Good for romance
This was a typical romance drama with a predictable plot. There are many full length dramas with similar themes that are done better (e.g. Romance of Tiger and Rose, Different Princess, Romance on the Farm, etc) but this was an entertaining watch.The good
If you are looking for romance, this has it. Lots of kissing scenes and the main couple had good chemistry. Very heated, very electric. This drama played up the parody aspect which gave way to comedic relief. Lots of pretty people, if that’s what you are looking for.
The bad
Outside of the romance, it was a basic, recycled story and didn’t stand out or add anything new to the genre. The acting was mediocre, had bland characters and production was low budget with some editing mishaps.
I enjoy short length series as in between fillers to some of the larger productions and can sometimes find good stories with actors who have potential to make it big. This one has a lower rewatch value for me but was an okay one time watch.

Sweet and short advertising drama
I like the ML a lot. After the impressively second Lead in "in blossom" I searched for another drama with him and found this.This is a sweet and short show about a girl, which found herself as player in a computer game. The first encounter in this play was the villain and the rest is cliché. This show is indeed not logical but there are a lot of kissing scenes. I don't like the FL (why I think she looks like a duck), but that should not influence my rating.
Overall it's a nice 7, naturally not one of the best but not bad either.
But: give this actor a nice ML in a great show please 🥰

Fun Watch with Great Chemistry
I have tried (AND DROPPED) many historical C-Dramas, but the amount I have liked has been slim. Knowing this was a web drama, I had even lower expectations. But “Supervisor Husband” far exceeded them. It was a fun watch.Pros:
• Off the charts chemistry! Our two leads were both good characters and actors on their own, but together they were dynamite. Not to mention, I’m just 6 episodes, there are SO many kids scenes, and they are done so beautifully and with real passion and chemistry.
• A funny parody of drama tropes. This story knows how to balance the seriousness of a historical drama with some hilarious tongue-in-cheek moments as it pokes fun at all the ridiculous tropes in C-Dramas. It made me laugh out loud.
• Good pacing. Because it’s short, this drama delivers an excellent story without dragging on. I watched it in one day and really enjoyed the whole experience. Plus, who doesn’t love a happy ending?
Cons:
• The second male lead (the fourth prince who was supposed to be FL’s original lead) is one of the most annoying characters ever. I cringed when he was on screen.
• The ending, while happy, was really confusing. I’m not entirely sure what happened, but, at least they’re together… I think.
• Bad acting from the supporting cast and extras. This is typical of web dramas and C-Dramas in general, but I found it distracting in this one.
Overall, this is a fun watch. It’s a quick binge with great chemistry and a fun story.

Short but Sweet!
This very short drama is so much FUN! It makes light of all the tropes and cliches of popular Asian dramas and uses them to its advantage. Of course, it tells the viewer this will happen right away and does a wonderful job balancing humor with plot. The main couple have great chemistry and the secondary couple are a riot.A young woman unfulfilled in her career, enters a romantic comic "game" to earn a better place in life. Is it a silly premise? Yes. But incredibly enjoyable. The female lead is upset about falling for the supposed 'villain'. Oh, honey, haven't we all at one time or another?
If you are looking for a shorter show with a lot of humor and a genuinely good time, this is it! Expect a lot of kisses, goofy support characters, and all kinds of humor. I choose this drama because of one of the actors, but I would rewatch it again and again for the enjoyment of the tale.
I would give the drama a ten save for a few minor issues. One, the last two minutes should be ignored. Someone was either trying to get past censorship or thought they were very clever. Two, some of the minor time jumps were a bit confusing, like scenes were shortened or deleted. Three, it could have been a bit longer. Such a great story deserves more air time. It also deserved a theme song with opening credits.

Isekai simpatico e divertente, senza troppe pretese
Un drama romantico di stampo isekai come molti altri. Molto divertente a guardarsi, con una coppia di attori principali nella parte, lei molto piacevole, lui molto carino e adatto a ruolo. I due attori danno l'aria di essere decisamente molto più apprezzabili in costume rispetto agli abiti moderni, e insieme hanno comunque una buona chimica. Buoni anche i personaggi di spalla, hanno fatto tutti un lavoro più che dignitoso.Il mondo fantastico ha le sue regole, che per esigenze di copione, però, vengono aggirate fin troppo spesso. Beh, è una commedia, ci sta.
È chiaramente un lavoro a basso costo, ma le ambientazioni fanno il loro dovere e i costumi, per quanto non cambiati spesso, sono decisamente gradevoli. Tante scene di bacio, tanti flashback, forse un po' in eccesso. Termina in modo abbastanza brusco non troppo spiegato, può darsi che ci sia una seconda stagione, chissà. Non so se mi interesserebbe la seconda stagione eventualmente ambientata in tempi moderni. Comunque questo drama termina con un finale vero e proprio per cui può considerarsi concluso.

Vilão que nada
Cheguei na Viki ontem e esse título me chamou atenção.Comecei assistir e me encantei.
História linda, leve e diferente.
Esse vilão.... Vilão que nada é um neném. Super fofo e também me apaixonaria por ele.
Confesso que gostaria de viver uma história assim.
Além disso, o figurino é impecável.
