Unique drama with lots of entertainment and nice execution

I decided to watch this one only for TanJianci but I didn't expect much from this drama as it was an original script so didn't know what to expect n initial promo were not much interesting either, but man then the drama actually gave me such a pleasant surprise by being so good that I was so hooked from the first 4 episodes itself, becos I found the concept very unique, so different from all the typical romance idol dramas which I m getting bored of becos of same story in evryone of them more or less! So this one came as a breathe of fresh air. And i was in a good cdrama slump from so long, this drama finally broke that n made me so hooked from the getgo. The story is fresh, the acting is sooo soo good of everyone and the execution of the drama is the best thing for me here, becos nowadays I find very very less dramas having a good execution. A good execution for me is when the story flows smoothly, the scene transition makes sense, has connection from one scene to another, n the scene don't jst jump from one to another without making sense that we feel how did this happen suddenly!! So i had nothing to complain here in that department too.
Now about acting, i loved evryone's acting, all the supporting actors who played Su Cheng cheng actually acted like SCC that they actually made it very convincing that u feel they r actually SCC only. Even Wang HongYi n Tan Jianci(though he played for few seconds only )played SCC to the perfection. Ofcourse credit goes to the director too! Although I heard this director is new he did a very well job of executing this show so smoothly!
And how can I not praise the one for whom I started to watch this drama! TAN JIANCI, TAKE A BOW Man! Each and every time n in every role u just amaze everyone n leave evryone just spellbound. N the most unique quality of his is, that no character of his looks like the other character or even like Jianci himself! He has this unique ability to make every character actually have their own essence and qualities n expression that u can't even imagine the same actor played that other role too! Like u can't find shenyi or mo qingchang in Tang Qi or, Yuan Mo in FFB or XL! Heck u can't even find FFB in XL too, he portrayed them so differently in jst one show even though they were same person in the same drama. That's the quality of a very brilliant actor. Which is rare trust me!
My first time seeing Li Landi and i really liked her acting too, she is very cute and pretty and suited SCC ckt so so well! I can't imagine anyone else playing SCC n she look so adorable.
So to conclude don't miss this one unique drama with nice different concept if u wish to watch something different than the usual idol romance stories n want to have good entertainment and feel stress free from ur daily life with having few laughs. I will definitely rewatch this!

Funny, exciting, and good chemistry.

Thought this was gonna be the same old boring drama about a girl who doesn't like her looks. Nope! FL may not like how she looks, but that doesn't stop her from helping people and working hard.

Main actor had to make the audience believe he is in love with the face filters fl used. He did it!

His acting is so well done it's insane.
Each character he fell for was believable.

The women that had to act for the filters did excellent in portraying fl personality.

The chemistry was there for Jianci and Landi.

The script was really fun! Didn't think I would like this drama, but decided to watch it anyways.

If you're looking for something cute and funny with a happy ending. Then start this!

Filter: Image or Sentiment?

An insecure woman is given a filter bracelet, which can alter her appearance, and chaos ensues when her former high school crush keeps falling for her alternate identities.

The performance by the lead cast was very entrancing (especially the alpaca), and the actors who played the alternate identities were great in portraying the characteristics of the original. The scenes when the filter was being used were transitioned very well. It really felt like it was the same person the audience was engaged with. The music was a favorable addition to exhibit the emotions. The secondary characters and their story were wonderful and didn't overshadow the main story flow.

Personal boundaries and psychological lines have been crossed for a few grins. The female and male leads are morally gray to an extent, and their actions at times are hard to connect to and understand. The miscommunication trope has been used a lot. The last few episodes could have been reduced. It didn't add much to the story after the problem was resolved.

Overall, even with cliches and an already used storyline, the drama had its unique qualities and was entertaining.

A rainbow is beautiful because of its many colors!

I’m really glad I gave this one a shot! I usually have a hard time getting into modern Cdramas, but Filter pulled me in with its charm, comedy, and surprising emotional resonance. It starts off feeling like a silly, lighthearted romance with a weird sci-fi premise — but turns out to have way more depth than expected.

The comedy in the first half had me laughing out loud (the alpaca 😂), and the romance between Tang Qi and Su Cheng Cheng ended up being really sweet once it got going. Tan Jianci was so good — going from cold and closed-off to warm and loving in a way that felt natural and earned. Landy Li also shines here, especially as Cheng Cheng’s confidence grows over time.

Favorite Moments:

x Gu Yu and Yuan's meeting (🤢🚗)

x Su Miao vs lightning

x the alpaca

x Tang Qi in Yuan's apartment bewildered by Su Cheng Cheng as the gold statue and then framed art

x Yuan gushing about her characters and artwork lol

x Gu Yu cooking for Yuan or just in general being the world's best boyfriend

x that tennis match LOL

x Quan Sheng Tang's "death"

The invisibility arc toward the end dragged a little for me, and the unplanned pregnancy twist felt like it came out of nowhere. But I appreciated how the drama still tied everything back to its core message: beauty and transformation aren’t bad — it’s about intention and self-acceptance.

Would I rewatch? Probably not — but I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something funny, heartfelt, and romantic in a modern setting. It made me smile more than I expected, and I’m really happy I stuck with it to the end. 💖

Lies again and again

I'll be very blunt and straightforward be prepared.
Everyone is praising how this drama is funny but in my case the fact that the FL is continually lying until the episode 23 is a big no no for me and that didn't let me enjoy the comedic aspect. The lies were understadable in the beginning he was a jerk to her and she needed that job, but after the photoshoot, i was more and more repulsed by her actions. I couldn't find anything funny since most of the funny scenes were based on the absurdity of all the lies.
I HATE LIES in dramas. She made one good use of her filter : to catch a cheater and punish him. Other than that it's used to lie to the ML.
Maybe you'll desagree with me (i'm sure most ppl will find it funny i just couldn't).

Lack of consequences

Dropping at episode 23, which will probably be telling to those who watched the whole drama (or at least up until this point). During the first 10 episodes, I disliked both the ML and FL; the first was arrogant turned laughable, the second selfish and lacking empathy. But eventually I made it through (with a big help of the second couple, who actually were decent and sympathetic characters), and then grew more and more curious how the crucial moment, when FL's secret will be revealed, will play out. Turns out - it was nonexistent. The FL said sorry, the ML nodded, and that was pretty much it. No consequences, no explanations, no reactions which would suit normal human beings. As a result of it, the ML feels pathetic and FL like Mary Sue with a free pass. Not for me; I prefer romances with balanced, equal couples, instead of those where one is butt of every joke and borderline desperate, while the other is "cool" and can't do any wrong (regardless of which gender gets which role).

A drama that reminds you what a good drama should be

Finally, a modern fantasy that respects its audience. When discussing feminism and the rise of girl power, we sometimes focus too much on how a woman should act in certain situations rather than recognizing, validating, and understanding why she makes those choices. This drama does exactly that—it sees women. A good drama should convey its message through its plot, the actors' performances, and the overall atmosphere. And, of course, it needs conflict. In this case, the misunderstandings between the ML and FL from the beginning and how they bridge the gap as the story unfolds create a compelling dynamic. Filter nailed it.

Kudos to Tan Jianci for his performance. I love this kind of "unconventional" ML—one who breaks the mold of typical male leads in Asian dramas. And yet, this kind of man is just a regular person! He doesn't operate in god mode, always knowing everything. He has emotions, he can be blunt, he can cry, doubt himself, and even be a "victim" rather than someone who dominates the world. Compared to Tan Jianci’s other roles, this one is definitely unique—and sooooooo adorable. So much complexity.

And to those criticizing either the FL or ML, accusing one of bullying the other—you won’t be saying that after finishing all the episodes. So go watch it! Otherwise, congratulations—this drama has already drawn you in, making you see things from the FL or ML’s perspective.

Be confident in who you are. ᕙ⁠(⁠⇀⁠‸⁠↼⁠‶⁠)⁠ᕗ

Lets talk about female lead 1 st : 

Truly speaking, I don't like the female lead. She is not ugly, but she just doesn't take care of herself.

First of all, her interview—she wants to work in a company that produces beauty products, yet for the interview, she didn't wear anything formal. I always thought you needed to wear formal attire for an interview, but apparently not!

Then, let's talk about the alumni program—
she went there to see her crush, and her friend helped her a lot by dressing her up and doing her makeup. But suddenly, she started working! Not just that, she even started opening bottle caps just because others asked her to! ¯⁠\⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Now, about her new job—she went there to work, but suddenly she decided to show up with that face and started modeling instead of doing her actual work, which made her colleagues suffer. If I were a colleague, I would have been angry too. And then, out of nowhere, she became a full-time employee, which felt so unfair. →⁠_⁠→
Also, how did she even know where Mr. Tang lives? And after going there, she just suddenly fell asleep—uff, I hate this female character, she’s so annoying.¯⁠\⁠_⁠〳⁠ ⁠•̀⁠ ⁠o⁠ ⁠•́⁠ ⁠〵⁠_⁠/⁠¯



Okay, now about the male lead:

I hate him.(⁠눈⁠‸⁠눈⁠) No matter what, he always ignores her but likes her other faces. He even called her ugly before =⁠_⁠= and didn’t want to apologize. He said he liked her personality, but how come he never noticed it before? He was always biased. After episode 5, the female lead became okay, not as annoying as before.

There is only One thing I hated about the lead was that he only noticed her when she had a new face. But , he got punished by seeing them disappear or die (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠). Later, when he lost the ability to see colors, he finally noticed her—༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶbecause she was the only one who remained colorful. When she got caught, I felt bad for her because she genuinely tried her best to hide the truth.



**Episode 24**
I really liked this episode. Finally, the moment I was waiting for happened—she confronted him:

"You like me? You like Su Miao's pretty face and Fang Jin's personality. I have nothing. Why do you like me?" (⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠)

I wanted to add more, like: "You have always been biased against me, thought I was a bad person, a bully, etc. You treated me unfairly from the start."
(⁠T⁠T⁠)
Everything seemed fine until she became invisible. Anyway, I liked the ending—it was done perfectly. The message was clear: be confident in who you are. I also loved the OST that played during the drama!
(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

Morality, Admission, Forgiveness & Acceptance

I’d like to start my review with a song: “I’m an alpaca. I like carrots.”

Now that the music is out of my head, I’ll commence with my review.

There is a lot to say about this drama, and aside from my initial issues with the way the ML was treated, and the seeming indifference by the women involved, were resolved.

As an aside, honesty, the admission of your mistakes, apologizing and forgiveness are paramount to any relationship - whether with a potential mate or a friend. One’s pride or lack thereof are no excuse to withholding the apology owed to someone you have wronged. Being judgemental about a person because they don’t meet your standards for beauty is no reason to belittle, bully or humiliate another person. Misinterpreting someone’s words and intentions doesn’t mean that you are free to hurt them or treat them poorly. These character traits put you in the same category and EQ as the person who may or may not have harmed you.

These are the things that brought this drama into a class by itself. The screen writer did an excellent job bringing the unrealistic standards of beauty, the prejudices against those who, by no fault of their own, miss the societal mark. Misunderstanding someone because you assume you know what they meant by their words because of the ‘filters’ of your internal dialog doesn’t mean your understanding is correct.

Tan Jian Ci’s portrayal of the ML is spot on. He is a scientist, his mind is built to analyze, solve and create something new for his chosen field - makeup. He is a little nerdy, very naive and very persistent in his pursuits. This gets him in a bit of trouble in various circumstances. He doesn’t know how to let go because he is used to finding a solution, and even though his persistence may have initially been annoying, it is understandable when you consider his profession. He is also the King of the awkward first kiss.

Lindy Li plays her role well. She is cheerful, happy, caring and highly protective of the bullied and underdogs. But to herself, she has believed the bullies and judgemental attitudes of children and adults that base a woman’s worth on their looks and appearance. Yet she clings to a belief that someone out there will find her true self worth fighting for, while she also tries to temper her disappointments by non-adherence to fashion or makeup.

Enter the bracelet that contains the filters. The FL is drawn by the ability to change her appearance and by using it, accomplished many good things, but also caused a lot of hurt to the ML - which she seemed to ignore based on her misinterpreted thoughts of his current and past behavior. Her bff and sister did not help matters when it came time to end the charades of the filtered people, and created some terrible resolutions to end the existence of those fictitious people.

However, they overlooked the depth of the pain their poorly planned exits would affect the one person involved with all of them - the ML. He was deeply hurt emotionally and suffered through physical and emotional backlash from these plots and took responsibility on his own shoulders that never should have been placed there.

So while I initially had issues with this line of progression in the story, it began to unravel the lies and misconceptions and brought everything into the light. The ML, once he figured out that all of the people he had been attracted to and fallen in love with were the best qualities that the FL possessed, began to pursue the FL with gentleness and great care, even though the FL still held a false prejudice against him.

Once they were able to get past their misunderstandings from the past and present, they actually started forming a bond that was unbreakable.

The screen writer brilliantly brought in the topics of forgiveness (but wasn’t really emphasized) and communication being paramount to any relationship. There was also acceptance of one’s self, respect for the thoughts and opinions of others, as well as the need for transparency in relationships even when it was uncomfortable, or when you feel like no one can see you for who you truly are.

There a moments of hilarity built in to relieve the tension, and Tan Jian Ci played them to perfection. The dance at the photo shoot, the alpaca, the attempted rescue of one of the fictitious characters - there were many - and they broke the angst of a lot of the heaviness in some of the situations.

I appreciated the way the concept of having a strong support network around you is important as well. Friends and family can support without interference or pressure. This is quite different from a lot of dramas where parents and friends try to manipulate and force an outcome that is better resolved between the parties involved.

The 2nd ML and FL were uniquely built for each other and worked through their issues by doing a lot of talking and taking the time to understand each other - and giving each other time to process their own thoughts. This was another area where this drama stands out.

The music itself added a bit of humor and more fuel for thought about the relationship between perceived physical beauty and the deeply attractive beauty of a persons heart, soul and care for others.

I loved the imagery of the ML proposing on the glass walled pier in the middle of nowhere with the beautiful flowers at the time the FL was invisible to everyone. He saw her not in her physical form but from his heart and loved her for who she is (the often invisible hidden part of every human being). That was a brilliantly subtle scene that spoke volumes about the MLs character.

There is so much hidden in the depths of this drama that it deserves a rewatch, which I will be doing because I know there is much I missed.

All in all this is a drama worth watching. When a story invokes an emotional response, it is well worth the watch, and the experiencing of those emotions whether good or bad. Just like people around us, this story brings to light our own prejudices and misconceptions of outward appearances and words taken out of context.

The moral of this drama is two-fold:

People are more than their appearance, and should never be judged on that concept alone.

And second, communication in any relationship is imperative. Assumptions, internal dialogue based on your own filters are often wrong, so ask questions before you make a judgement call that could hurt someone or yourself. Find ways to dispel the self-aggrandized comments of people who think they are superior to you based on their own looks or prejudices picked up from other small minded people. Appreciate your own uniqueness and embrace the totality of who you are - no one can define you as ugly or unworthy unless you give them that authority by being ashamed of what you look like.

An extraordinary story "dedicated to ordinary me and you" (cit. ending quote)

Filter will engage and entertain you since the very beginning, leaving a mellow aftertaste long time after you're done watching it, independently of your personal genre-preferences and expectations. Its fresh, original plot and well-crafted dialogues smoothly range from modern fantasy to comedy and then to a romance. Because of its uniqueness, this is a rare (if not the only) story I've ever rated with full marks.

PLOT: the protagonists (main couple) greatly differ from each other, FL can be described as a "force of nature", she is (at least, physically) stronger, she is a straightforward, positive and somewhat immature girl liking a guy who percieves her as a bully since they were in the school. She makes him shiver, out of fright, even disgust... and being the ML a rational, "scientific" but also a romantic person who awaits his "one and only" in life, they are apparently "not meant to be", unless... certain "filters" help them in clearing misconceptions, in understanding their reciprocal fragilities (like FL's insecurity about her looks) and flows (ML's tetrachromacy with higher-intensity light receptors) and, finally, in combining their very different (read: opposite) point of views. Because love is "a deep desire to see the life and the world around us throught the eyes of Another". This deep desire is so palpable in Filter and both FL and ML will radically (and positively) influence each other in the way how they see the world around them.

But love is also a magic, and the FL comes early into a possession of a powerful magical tool: a super-tech bracelet which can shape-shift her appearence into... well, almost anything else, but which is also very "experimental" and needs frequent updates which create even more misunderstandings, tensions and twists.

There are also "additional tools" which help to create the right atmosphere and rythm/pace of the drama: eg. well chosen bgm, the 2 opening osts, Du Qing 渡情 from the '90s xianxia drama New Legends of Madame White Snake, the constant reference/homage to "Something Like an Autobiography" which immediately creates a connection with one of the greatest movie directors/visual storytellers ever, Kurosawa, and alludes to his most famous movie, Rashomon, dealing with how various people who have witnessed a murder of a samurai in a forest differently describe the events relating to the murder. They are all telling the truth, but the truth greatly varies according to their own point of view. Last but not least, the references to LYF also contribute to the fun.

CAST: One word - perfect. After The Starry Love, I've never doubted Li Landi could perform such a strong (yet profoundly fragile) character in a romcom, but Tan Janci in the role of Tang Qi will be a revelation, he may not be good in tennis, but his microexpressions are always so much on point, what a talented actor! All side characters are well-casted and well-written, as well.

All in all, although I'm not into a "romance" at all, I'm very glad I've seen this brilliant drama and I warmly recommend its vision: it is good and it will highly boost your serotonine level

The truth untold.

» [Review # 12] «

Filter is a drama capable of healing wounds you thought were forgotten.
It has it all: drama, sci-fi elements, love (not just romantic love), thought-provoking questions, and comic relief.
A story is not just the narration of fictional events. It's also a piece of work capable of moving the viewer to tears, getting someone to think and live the event narrated. Filter, with its memorable yet ordinary characters, does justice to the everyday struggles and insecurities of modern society.

▶︎ This story is dedicated to the ordinary you and me. ◀

What happens when you grow up thinking someone else is always better than you, more attractive than you, more clever than you? You become an adult with profound scars who belittles yourself. No good can enter your life, so you get used to the mediocrity.
What if I were cleverer, more beautiful, and more social? Then the others could see my true self?
But I'm not. Until I acquire the ability to be the best version of myself.
A hyper-technological device gives me the power to alter my appearance, burying my insecurities behind a filter.
They say beauty does not matter, but it does. It matters so much that I could become addicted to the overwhelming sensation I feel whenever I change to a better version of myself.
But a life built on lies is still worth living?

▶︎ Even without a magical bangle, my eyes had filters. ◀

Filter is not just the title. It depicts the reality human beings live. We don't want to face it, but we all go on with our lives and make decisions based on filtered pieces of reality.
When we meet someone, first impressions shape our feelings towards that person. Time could change these feelings, but it's not set in stone.
The story of Su Chengcheng and Tang Qi conveys this possibility. A relationship that spans years was founded on misconception and prejudice. And here comes one of those questions: if they never got to know each other thanks to the magical bangle, would they have the chance to clear these misunderstandings? Probably not.

▶︎ Final considerations. ◀
NOTE: depending on your sensitivity, you might find some things mentioned as spoiler.

Filter had the potential to be a hidden gem in Chinese Dramaland. And, to some extent, it was. However, some writing decisions and a few loose ends left me dissatisfied.
1. Poor writing decisions: actions taken by some characters didn't seem coherent with the psychology of that character. That resulted in a sloppy conclusion that seemed an attempt to take off the burden of a dubious and incoherent choice made by the scriptwriter.
2. Loose ends: not everything was addressed properly by the end of the drama. I would have liked to know more about the bangle - its origin, who created it, and why - as well as the mysterious grandma. I suppose they couldn't go deeper due to the censorship. Nonetheless, what a pity.
3. Casting-wise, Li Landi seems miscast. Viewers can see how beautiful she is, despite being made look 'uglier' for plot purposes. The only explanation I could give myself was this: the character of Su Chengcheng was never intended to be ugly, as she is a fine lady. It was the lack of self-confidence and the perception of those around her that made her look less good-looking. In that regard, even this shows how the eyes of those we love have filters.

PROS:

- Questioning the standard of beauty and challenging the ideal beauty in modern society were much appreciated;
- The lack of self-esteem of Chengcheng and why she got accustomed to using the bangle/filter were portrayed properly;
- Tang Qi is a green forest
- The second couple is cute, even though I wasn't that much invested in them

CONS:

- The second couple's sub-plot made me roll my eyes towards the end of the drama due to a stupid and sloppy writing decision;
- The whole bangle-like filter thing went down the drain: so many questions, so few answers.
- Su Chengcheng, portrayed by Li Landi, being a meh girl is a bit ridiculous.

Watched this, of course, for my Tan Jian Ci—and I’m so happy I did! This drama has a unique story about identity, self-acceptance, and learning to love who you are.

Let’s talk about the drama…

This is the story of Su Cheng Cheng (CC), a woman who struggles with low self-esteem due to her appearance. Adding to this low self-esteem is her pretty and very capable sister, Su Qing Li (QL). It's not that QL bullies or mocks her—in fact, she’s kind & always supportive of CC—but CC can’t help but feel the comparison between them.

One day, CC attends a high school reunion where she runs into her long-time crush, Tang Qi (TQ). At the reunion, CC accidentally got her face wet and was mocked by TQ. Embarrassed, she fled the scene.

Outside, CC met a woman selling flowers. The woman gave her a bracelet to thank her for the extra money for the flower. The bracelet turned out to be a special high-tech device that allowed CC to change her appearance.

At first, CC didn't know the bracelet's ability and couldn't control it when it changed her appearance and accidentally transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman. By coincidence, she meets TQ in this new form. Enchanted by her looks, TQ falls for her instantly.

Angry at being judged solely by her appearance, CC decides to teach him a lesson. When she learns to control the bracelet, she creates a new persona — Su Miao (SM) — and begins interacting with TQ under this identity. As SM, CC repeatedly rejects TQ — but when he refuses to give up on her, she starts planning how to make SM disappear forever.

Amidst all the chaos, one rainstorm day, the bracelet suddenly stopped working. When it turned on again, it turned out the system was updating. The problem was... CC was stuck in SM's body!

When the bracelet started working again, it brought many upgrades. So, together with her best friend and sister, CC began a plan to "murder" SM. When they successfully made SM disappear, TQ was heartbroken and depressed for a while. But with the support of his friends, TQ finally came to his senses and eventually recovered.

After that, CC uses the bracelet’s powers a few more times to help others, creating different identities. But each time she uses a new character, she crosses paths with TQ again. Unwittingly, she captures TQ's heart in the process, TQ begins falling for each new persona, again and again.

But just like with SM, CC eventually has to make each of these identities disappear. TQ, unaware of the truth, experiences heartbreak over and over again.

Eventually, things reach a breaking point. TQ is on the verge of emotional collapse and couldn't take any more heartbreak. That's when TQ finally saw CC in a different light. Around the same time, another person appeared who baffled TQ because that person also emitted the same characteristics as CC. Yes, as you can guess, that person was also another character created by CC.

TQ isn't a stupid man; he quickly put two and two together and planned to trick CC into confessing.

So, the question now is... What will CC do? Will she confess to her 'crime,' or will she let TQ catch her red-handed? If so, what will TQ's action be afterward?

That's pretty much the story without giving more spoilers. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ A powerful story about learning to accept yourself.
+ Unique storytelling — seeing things from both CC’s and TQ’s perspectives adds depth and humor.
+ One of the best on-screen friendships: CC & Lin Yuan (LY) are true besties—full of trust, loyalty, and no secrets.
+ CC has a loving and supportive family. From her sister to her parents, they were all very supportive and later became her emotional backbone when she needed them most.
+ A different approach to relationships from other Asian dramas, especially the relationship between LY and Gu Yu (GY). I'm genuinely happy that their relationship worked out in the end.
+ It's hilariously funny how almost every time CC got stuck in character mode while the bracelet was updating, she'd always run into TQ.
+ The moment of confession—when each family member opens up and admits their own part in the things that contributed to CC’s low self-esteem.
+ Tan Jian Ci was amazing! 😍

What I don't too like:
- Toward the end, the focus shifted a bit too much onto the main couple’s relationship. I was curious about GY’s mother’s reaction to LY & GY’s big relationship decision—but the story just glossed over it, leaving things vague.

Overall this is a truly unique drama that makes you wonder what you would do if you had access to such a magical bracelet. Beyond the fantasy element, it’s a heartfelt story about self-worth, identity, and learning to love yourself for who you are.

If you’re looking for something different from typical romantic dramas, this one is definitely worth watching!
