Finished this drama at 3 am at night and eyes swollen in morning going to school is pretty bad!
i would give the best 10 stars or 100 stars. But ost wasn’t fitting the song, however when i realized at the very sad scenes while i was crying, osts were doing their job which made me cried more. If you hate sad endings, or i don’t think this is counted as sad ending it is happy ending but more questionable, unreasonable, open ending. 24 episodes were not enough for me when last few episodes just made me cry at 3 am. I never thought it would be this sad but at least it’s little bit better than other drama’s fictional world travel. This drama took my whole soul away at 3 am.😭Was this review helpful to you?

light cute and funny
As a “Wow the world” fan seeing them in a drama together felt so refreshing. I’m so used to seeing them bickering with each other. But! now it makes sense cause this drama was filmed before the variety show thats why they knew each other better~The plot is something like Love Game in Eastern Fantasy/Dream within a dream. LHE travels into the story of a book and has to make GHM fall in love with her. The issue is once he falls in love with her she will disappear as her mission ends.
So the drama is her process of getting his attention by helping him alot in his work. He slowly warms up to her and starts liking her. This is when she realises her time is running out so she starts to distance herself.
Now, the leads are cute they have chemistry and there are comedic moments. However, sometimes i felt like the plot was a bit draggy also cause the story of the second leads was not interesting so i ended up skipping all of it.
You cant really watch this drama with logic in your mind because most of it is being controlled by the “system”. So she is often thrown into ridiculous missions randomly.
Overall a funny cute romcom~

I love the storyline and the main characters of this drama! Its such a wholesome drama to watch and make you laugh out loud! I wish the ending was so confusing and wished they gave us a couple more episodes explaining how GHM got to the modern world. CXX did such an amazing job, I like his character in here more than Love between lines. This is my first drama watching Wang Yuwen and I love her acting. Both of them have such amazing chemistry and knowing that they have a variety show together, I'm already watching WOW the world to see their true personalities.When I was in the middle of the drama, I had an theory that GHM also had a pager and had task to do too! I wished they just cut the scene where GHM got hit by the truck and Lin Huan'er had to retrieved his memory to how he came to the present world. I believed that the truck came out of no where was to bring Lin Huan'er back to the present world. Even tho I was disappointed at the ending but overall the drama is worth to watch! I'm already re-watching it!

Meta and Nostalgic
The show follows Lin Huan'er, a romance coach from 2025 who gets sucked into a cheesy 1999romance novel she was publicly trashing. It's a brilliant set-up because she knows all the tropes ( the 'cold CEO', the misunderstanding, the 'tragic second lead') and tries to use them to finish her 'quest' so she can go home.Moreover, Chen Xingxu and Wang Yuwen have been friends for 16 years in real life, and it shows. Their banter feels natural, and the 'fake drunk' scenes in the early episodes were comedy gold. The production team nailed the late '90s vibe. The pagers, the 'brick' monitors, the oversized suits, and the constant fear of the 'Millennium Bug' (Y2K) add a great layer of authenticity. It's also hilarious watching a modern influencer trying to navigate a world without Wi-Fi or high-speed data.
However, some episodes in the middle felt like they relied too heavily on the 'miscommunication' trope. Like many transmigration dramas, the 'rules' of the book world can feel a bit inconsistent when the plot needs a specific conflict.
In conclusion, My Page in the 90s is a light-hearted rom-com that shifts its tone to a very emotional core ( the bittersweet nature of time and memory), which was well balanced. Ultimately, the show concludes that while you can't 'edit' your past like a page in a book, the connections you make, even in the most unexpected circumstances, are what define your reality. In my opinion, this is one of the strongest transmigration dramas of 2026 because it respects the 90s setting rather than treating it as a gimmick. It's a rare book-travel story that feels like it has actual stakes.

Not on my page
Lovers of this drama will utterly disagree with me but sharing my opinion.I got bored. The tropes we expect were all there, but gosh, the creativity behind them was that the game says" it has to happen or else"--it felt like lazy writing and even the FL exclaims (often) how inane the game is! Also the second leads storyline adds no value to the primary story and is unneeded.
Visually, ML never looks bad (in all his dramas, he's so darn photogenic), and in this drama, FL is styled and madeup and shot more beautifully than her prior dramas. I was puzzled by ML wardrobe--often a turtleneck under a shirt with tie--perhaps my styling awareness is outdated.
At any rate, this was another dud for me re: ML (A Beautiful Lie was also disappointing) , so his recent Love Between Lines was far more watchable. And FL has been in lots better romances prior. I am waiting until the last episode is available to binge-fast scroll to see the end but don't anticipate upping my ratings.

One of the best series I have watched!
This is by far one of the best series I have watched. It has great actors - both ML & FL have amazing chemistry - the whole cast is really good. The plot is interesting, different to what I have watched, it has a little bit of everything, it has a lot of romance, it has comedy, both FL & ML are funny, more the FL she is crazy, everything she does to conquer the CEO is simply insanely crazy but funny. As always the assistant was so funny. The plot keeps you in suspense, but at the same time, it makes you anxious without knowing what is next. The "System" is heartless - - The soundtrack is great, I love one of the songs the most, but all the music is great.... This is a classy series, it was very well written, produced and directed... it's one of those that you can't stop watching, until you get to the end, and then it keeps you wanting to watch more - - - 2 Season will be great!!!I wish the ending would have been different, at least a little different.... I wanted to see them married and with kids, or at least pregnant... even when they did enjoy their relationship, it's still lacking the wedding and marriage time - - I SIMPLY LOVED IT! the last two episodes made me cry like crazy, both actors, ML & FL acting is wow great, amazing, they made me feel their pain, mostly the ML while pretending everything was ok and not made her feel sad, he kept the pain to himself - that made me so sad, they really act superb....

the power of love
i love the story, tho lots of questions needs an answer of how it happens, yet it could be covered by "because of love'.because of love - everything became possible, craziness became amusing - that's how i find their story.
though the 2nd couple gives me off, but thru them in the later episodes, Haiming & Huan'ers love for each other became stronger, that whatever will happen to them - the warmth of their affection for each other will always be within.
i like the loyalty of Gao Haiming 's assistant, a typical one and portrayed well.
All in all - the story is fun to watch... plus the couples played it well...

A Seemingly Light Story That Earns Its Ending
My Page in the 90s is one of those rare dramas that doesn’t aim for depth—and yet still manages to land emotional impact where it counts.At its core, this is a light, high-concept story: a modern influencer is pulled into a novel and must complete a “system” mission—win the male lead’s love and secure a proposal—to return to her own world. It sounds gimmicky on paper, but what makes it work is the execution. The female lead doesn’t “perform” the role; she inhabits it. Her reactions feel grounded, her choices feel real, and over time it becomes easy to forget how absurd the premise actually is.
The male lead complements this perfectly. He brings a natural, lived-in quality to the relationship—small gestures, subtle emotional shifts, and a steady presence that makes the romance believable even within a constructed world. Together, they build something that feels authentic rather than manufactured.
The drama also maintains strong pacing for most of its run. Each episode moves forward with new situations, challenges, or character moments. It never feels like nothing is happening—until it briefly does.
Around the late middle (roughly Episodes 14–17), the story falls into a familiar trap. The main couple becomes stuck in a cycle of avoidance and misunderstanding, repeating the same emotional beat multiple times. At the same time, the second couple—who are otherwise charming—are also caught in their own loop of hesitation and self-doubt. With both storylines stalling at once, the momentum noticeably dips. It feels less like intentional tension and more like the narrative marking time.
Fortunately, the drama recovers.
From Episode 18 onward, the story pivots in a meaningful way. Instead of continuing the same conflict, it raises the stakes and reframes the central question. The emotional weight deepens, the pacing tightens, and the characters are forced into choices that carry real consequence. What follows is a final stretch that is both moving and satisfying, culminating in an ending that feels earned rather than rushed.
The second couple also finds resolution here, and their storyline adds an important thematic layer about fate—what can be changed, and what cannot.
The finale, in particular, is handled well. Rather than relying on a last-minute coincidence, it allows time for separation, longing, and active searching before reunion. It doesn’t over-explain its mechanics, but it understands that emotional closure matters more than technical detail.
This isn’t a drama that belongs among the most intense or tightly constructed stories. The mid-section drag is real, and it does rely on familiar tropes at times. But it also knows how to deliver where it counts. The ending recontextualizes the journey and gives the story a sense of completion that many similar dramas fail to achieve.
In the end, My Page in the 90s succeeds not because it’s deep, but because it’s sincere. It’s a light story that understands its limits—and still manages to make you feel something real.

Writing Falls a bit short but it’s still a fun show!
The cast has great chemistry but I feel like the writing fails them a bit.First off when the CXXs character starts liking her I feel like the transition could’ve been better because he randomly went from disliking her to immediately liking her. I feel like they should’ve eased into it a bit more.
Secondly the ending was a bit weird. It seemed like they were going to show us how he came through but no he just somehow appeared out of thin air?!
I feel like the random truck plot was super unnecessary and that they were just trying to drag the series. Stupid ass Kdrama truck 💀
Anyways I really enjoyed WYWs character. I thought she was super fun and that the plot was a very fun concept. I enjoyed the little schemes and how she used her chances. I also really enjoyed the ex boyfriend plot.
I liked how a major point of this show was to normalize periods especially amongst men.
Althought I spoke about a lot of the things I didn’t like, overall I had a fun time watching this series.

Pleasant way to pass the time
I mainly started watching My Page in the Nineties because of Chen Xingxu and Wang Yuwen.Chen Xingxu is currently my favorite actor (that changes from time to time, but right now it’s definitely him).
The basic “being pulled into a book” storyline feels quite overused and sometimes doesn’t make much logical sense.
At the beginning, I was a bit bored. However, after a few episodes, you start to feel immersed in the story. The chemistry between the two leads really carries the drama, and their love story is sweet and enjoyable to watch.
The second couple felt rather pale to me, but luckily they weren’t overused. Overall, it’s not a masterpiece in terms of logic, but it’s nicely made and a pleasant way to pass the time.

Rough scene editing, weird storytelling, sudden ending
Watched this mainly because of the off screen chemistry and real life relationship between the main leads. It had a good start, meeting the main lead ahead of all the time travel like it was a mystery. The styling and settings were good, even the clear folder presentation was nostalgic. Then comes the cuts between scenes. It was rushed like suddenly they are on a date. They ending was the awful part, they left the audience hanging like how did the main lead and everyone else came out of the book. How was it connected to the first scene???Was this review helpful to you?
Somewhere between fiction and feelings
I started My Page in the 90s expecting a simple, slightly silly rom-com, and in many ways it is exactly that. But there was something about the atmosphere that kept me watching. The whole idea of entering a romance novel set in the late 90s gives the drama a nostalgic and playful tone, and the story never takes itself too seriously. What I liked the most was how the relationship slowly shifts from a calculated “mission” to something that feels real and unexpected. It’s not a groundbreaking drama and the plot stays fairly light, but it’s easy to get attached to the characters and their dynamic. In the end it felt like a warm, comforting watch – the kind of story that reminds you that sometimes the lines between fiction and real feelings can blur in the most surprising ways.Was this review helpful to you?
