Bizarre plot with a mix of romance, comedy and angst
The drama is about the female lead who, after catching her boyfriend cheating, gets electrocuted and starts seeing bullet comments that predict she’ll end up in a mental hospital. To change her fate, she must make the rich, cold, wheelchair CEO fall for her.POSITIVE:
- Cold + scheming male lead.
- Soft but sassy female lead.
- Plenty of sweet kisses + one super spicy scene.
- Bizarre moments and plot twists. So many crazy things happen in the drama that it was highly entertaining and quite unpredictable.
- A great mix of romance, comedy, suspense and angst.
NEGATIVE:
- Noble idiocy. It's a small part towards the ending episodes but it had my jaw drop wide open. However, the character on the receiving end handled it like a pro and I loved seeing that.
- Final episode. It didn’t ruin the drama but it definitely made me deduct 1 point. One of the scenes was so ridiculous it had me thinking “wtf were the writers smoking while writing this”. And the very final scene was a confusing censorship insert, most likely because of the fantasy element with the bullet comments. The thing is, the bullet comments were only funny in the first few episodes but afterwards they didn’t add much to the story. The drama would’ve been just as good without the fantasy element.
- Too fast paced at times. I actually loved how fast paced the drama was except during the romantic moments that passed a bit too quickly. I needed about 5 more seconds for the camera to linger while the leads were glancing at each other or about to kiss.
OVERALL:
This mini drama would have been a perfect guilty pleasure watch, if it wasn’t for the final episode. Still, I loved how bizarre the plot was and all the romantic scenes between the leads. Despite the weird title and generic poster, I found the drama quite unpredictable, fast paced and highly entertaining. I recommend it (if you can overlook the weak final episode).

A good enough blend of a watch
This isn’t bad. Most often I’d hang on if i feel that the leads brings interest to see where story leads. Though some actions early on in story is a turn off, that usually makes me hit the next search button, the female lead is a new watch and i wanted to see more of her acting. At conclusion, I’d say she’s growing and has lots of potentials. Looking forward to seeing her growth. As for male lead, the typical cold, hard to please character, played that part well. For someone unsmiling for the most part of series, it really did shine through when she said, “ah, is that a smile”. That was actually cute because it really was nice to see him smile. He outdid that cold demeanor role. He’s good.What i liked was that the male lead was on top of everything from the background to keep her protected. In family conflicts for wealth control isn’t new plots but this one made for interest because the execution had some interesting twists, enough to hold me in. Biggest twist came few episodes before last that didn’t quite hit my fancy but at least it was resolved before last episode. Some may like it, i just think a better plot would be building leads relationship.
Again, this is a decent watch. Though it has blends of mystery and schemings plotting, it’s a feel good drama to see leads end up together.

Muito bom, mas realmente... uma mistura de sentimentos
Mistura de Sentimentos é um drama curto muito bom, que começa como uma história de vingança de uma protagonista feminina mas logo evolui para uma história de romance. Inicialmente, ela é traída pelo namorado que na verdade tramava para alcançar o sucesso às custas dela. a partir disso, ela resolve ser forte e revidar, tentando seduzir o CEO da empresa, chefe e tio(mas bem jovem) do seu ex namorado. Após a metade, o plot já está irreconhecível. A "outra" e o próprio ex namorado já não estão mais na história, mas outros mistérios e personagens se instauram. Não digo que isso seja negativo, mas realmente é uma loucura, inúmeras reviravoltas acontecem durante a série. Não esperem um drama simples. Foi divertido e fácil de assistir, também, ótimo para treinar um pouco do mandarim.Was this review helpful to you?

Pretty Good
I’ll start off saying that if it wasn’t for the leads, this drama wouldn’t have received as high a score as I gave it. Initially I wanted to say the only thing that saved it was the music, but changed my mind after watching it all the way through.The casting and acting for every role other than the leads felt like I was watching a middle school production. Editing was bad in several places and the supporting cast was super weak.
I could tell from the first appearance of the ML’s brother that he was the villain. His smile was too fake, his praise and friendliness was artificial. He had no concept of how to look genuine but be a slime ball. His wife was a little better, but not much. She was too obvious.
The FL’s ex, who happened to be the ML’s cousin was just a terrible actor. You could tell he was nervous by his aggressively over-acted “passion”. His kisses were forced and awkward. Every kiss scene with him looked like he probably gave the women a swollen lip because he crashed into them repeatedly.
Even the ML and FL’s grandfathers were extremely awkward.
I preface this by saying that I apologize if something had happened to this actor to cause speech issues. I am saying this S someone who has no knowledge of his oersonal life experiences but you could hardly understand him as his words were so slurred and blended together (kudos to those who managed to extract anything intelligible from his speaking).
The ML’s grandfather was supposed to be a domineering retired CEO but he was more like a bullied student who relied on a practiced false bravado enforced by his clicking cane shoe tapping.
There was bad editing as well as sound effects. For example, the scene where the ML steps out from behind a tree that the FL is looking at straight on and his shoes are making noise on dirt and grass. And just before he steps out from behind the tree, the camera had shown noone behind the tree as they showed her looking at it. Tgen the scene where the FL was in the “forbidden” bedroom and had picked up a framed photo to look at. initially it was facing the wall opposite the headboard. But when she put it down it was facing the bed. When they showed the FL leaving the room the photo was back to its original position even though she hadn’t touched it again.
Like I said, the leads carried this drama. The script seemed to be pretty well done for a short episode drama, but there was a lot of time spent on reminiscing the past in the last few episodes. So the production fell a little short also.
The leads were very cute together and seemed to have good chemistry. Their acting didn’t feel forced or awkward. Their physical contact wasn’t uncomfortable to watch, but seemed like they truly had affection for each other. Their facial and eye expressions were also on point.
If half of the cast had been left out, they still would have carried the rest on their performances.
Even though this review seems negative, I actually enjoyed it even though I am not a fan of short dramas. If you take anything away from this review, take this:
Watch the drama. Toss aside logical thought for a while and enjoy the leads. It’s really not that bad.
