Be Yourself (2025)

Need more Cdramas like this…

Great show. Very fun! These are the type of Cdramas that keep me excited to see more. This simple little mini series kept things moving right along and was very engaging. Lots of comedic moments and the story was good. Each character was interesting. The acting was decent and the exaggerated characters with their facial expressions and antics kept me laughing. I wouldn’t mind seeing a longer version of this sort of drama. Surprisingly, the CGI wasn’t terrible. It definitely reminded me of Dominator of Martial Gods which I also enjoyed. I liked this one just a tad more because of the comedy. Our main lead was awesome in this and hope to see many more lead roles with him.

The only downside is it’s a mini series so you don’t get much of character building and backstory.

That was one ridiculously fun ride! ?

Another completely biased review from me to you.

The story sounds like your typical wuxia/xianxia drama but trust me this is not! The humor is just spot on. The ML is outstanding, my favorite form of snarky ML who doesn't take himself or anyone else seriously at all. I am absolutely in love with Pan Lu Yu and can't wait to see more from him! And even though it is a short length series with each episode only 10 minutes or less (plus intro/exit music and credits) the story is so well written!

Lots of spoilery bits below:
The story starts out with the ML doing some sort of ascension trial (?) and ends up dying. That scene is when I knew this series was going to push all my buttons in the right way! The ML breaks the 4th wall and deadpans into the camera "I'm doomed.' His expression and delivery made this sweet perfection! 😘

The ML wakes up in the recently deceased body of a guy who was pretty much a lazy waste of space in his life and proceeds to snarkily have fun with this new life, going from a supreme being to a wastrel! 🤣

Along the way we meet his 3 gorgeous fiancés, his adorable maid who thinks he is the best in the world (everyone needs someone like her on their side!), his beautiful martial arts master, a foster brother who hates him and is constantly trying to get rid of him and talks smack to his father about him, and a father who treats him like dirt and definitely favors the foster brother. Not to mention a pair of incredibly badly over-acted villains with hair so bad you just know it's camp, right?🤣 Oh, and an evil prince too.

The quality of this series is way higher than most short dramas. The writing and direction are superior. The job the stylists did was fantastic (except for the villains of course). Even the OST is great. I let the opening credits play each episode cause I love the song!🥰

Oh, and the story ends nicely but then gives us a To Be Continued! I hope this is one that actually gets a second season 🤞

So what are you waiting for? Got watch this now! With only 24 ~10 minutes episodes it won't take up much of your time and is guaranteed to make you laugh!😍
