My Page in the 90s

Highly recommended - a slice of life kind of story - at a normal pace in terms of relationships

*Spoilers*

I honestly love the drama too - yes, it's a story where the FL - Lin Huan Er, who's a live streamer ended up in the book that she was debating about with another online live streamer too - after she met the ML - Gao Hai Ming in her timeline of 2025 at the beginning of ep 1. At the beginning - Lin Huan Er didn't really believe in love or felt like that she should be in any relationships at all - so during her livestreaming at the beginning, she was against it. Eventually, when she ended up in the book of 1999 - she was force to learn how to love, care, work hard and change her mindset about love - eventually leading to true love b/w the two leads. At the beginning the ML and his assistant was skeptical of her - but overtime, she worked hard to change his perspective of her and he too fell in love with her hard - both of them went through a lot of trails in their lives - one after another, it wasn't easy, but they both overcome them all. Yes, there was a lot of scenes where I ended up crying a bucket full of tears - especially when the 2nd time he proposed to her and he almost died from the car accident saving her - and at that point she broke the rules of the system, got severely punished by it - and that in terms lead to ML - Gao Hai Ming losing his memories/had short term amnesia of forgetting who she was - including the others around them both too.

I literally cried for them both - when she had to deal with him losing his memories of her - after the car accident/reversal/erase memory thing caused by the annoying manipulative pager - system of hers that she had. It was a tough uphill battle at times when he couldn't exactly recall anything about her - but slowly/surely he did get some burst of memories of her here and there when they both went around to the different places they used to visit/hangout/created memories together.

The biggest part that made me cry aside from the proposal scene - and eventual poof departure scene of hers. - I mean don't get me wrong - I cried a bucket full of tears there - when he was left alone by himself on the merry-go-round without her. It was very raw and emotional for me too.

Where I also cried was when he thought that she drown in the river - when he was talking to her over the phone - after he rushed over with his assistant from his company - during his birthday party there - so he just assumed she fell in and he jumped into the river - despite unable to swim and literally almost drown there, had she not jump in after him to rescue him instead. This part - eventually led to him recovering his memories and also allowed him to gain insight of what's bound to happen b/w the two of them. In his mind - he did have some mental preparedness of her inevitable departure - b/c he too realizes those around him are clueless/seem to not know they were in a relationship before or that she worked in another company before joining Letao -- him stating to his assistant - that he was the one who poached her from the Yunshao (?) advertising company and not what the assistant said - that she joined their department after the new years - from the marketing department in their company.

Honestly the fact that he knew before her inevitable departure - he did his best to make/create wonderful memories together and capture them before she was to leave without any notice to him on the merry-go-round. He was even smart enough to write a special love note to her unbeknownst to her until she returned to her world - of 2025 and stuck it in her jacket pocket - which at that time he said it was the "special wonton" recipe he got from their favorite wonton food stand at that time. Though I do wished that I see Gao Hai Ming actually say "I love you" before she disappears/poof into thin air after his proposal to her and on the merry-go-round - filming her/kissing her until the very last second - and not when she's gone that he said that. It was also nice to see the he was still alive in his world - when she left; had the camera full of their memories that they created together before she left and the pager that from time to time - allow him to see her - in her world of 2025 somehow and of their memories too.

All throughout the last few episodes of the drama - from ep 20-24 I literally cried - not just for the two main leads - but also the 2nd leads too. Especially when we hear/see that the 2ML died suddenly when the 2FL was preparing for their supposedly wedding - trying on the wedding dress - when she got news about her fiancé got seriously injured and which lead to his eventual death - having to see the 2FL (her best friend - Mengmeng - breakdown - crying while painting the picture of him in police uniform - to remember him - to seeing Lin Huan Er being there for her at those times and Gao Hai Ming comforting her - realizing that what she said before - was inevitable - a pre-determined destiny that even though she thought could change - didn't change - he still died the next day - after the big accident - that they eventually help him avoid dying from the previous day (at the hotel planning the wedding venue, etc).

I like how despite the censorship, we were able to see the FL (Lin Huan Er) - get to see her best friend walking happily with her husband together hand-in-hand and Gao Haiming's assistant as well - before she eventually meets the ML in her world of 2025 too - and that the place they met up again - was the model airport museum that had contained all their memories there - plus the model planes they built together. I'm also glad that they got to meet again - in her world - rushing towards each other/hugging and both of them crying in each other's embrace/greeting each other/smiling/ him wiping away tears and then kissing each other for a long too. What I really wished was that they didn't have to cut out the other episodes that it was supposedly have - to show how he came to his world along with the others characters that she treasured the most together too. Plus how did her best friend Mengmeng's husband didn't die and were together again - and everything else. The way the so-called censorship forced the drama to cut out so much - to be honest wasn't necessary - especially like other said - 40 episodes was originally the max one drama could have - so why cut them out??

It definitely made the ending still somewhat really rushed with a lot of unproper - unanswered questions in the mind of the viewers watching it. I really wished there was more too it. To be able to see them together - live their lives in her world 2025 would have been great - and his turn to adapt to her world/lifestyle too. At least at the end - there was a typed up message about their story of meeting each other - kissing passionately - and then left us with somewhat an idea of how Gao Hai Ming eventually ended up in her world of 2025 - which was related to the pager that he had in his hands when she left - but the writer left it as a mystery - where may be one day they'll explain how he did get to her world of 2025. Plus then we get to hear them both saying - that love transcends all times/space - that they are able to meet again and stated to each other "Grateful to see you again".

Now I wished there was a part 2/season 2 too!!

P.S. Thank you to all the actors/actresses/film crew for bringing this drama to life - well done and well acted! Definitely recommend watching it. A slice of life kind of story - learning to love - not in a rush way - but at a regular - normal pace - and seeing the character grow/evolve/change over time. Was definitely another drama worth my time to watch.

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.😭

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.
