This one is hella cute and a blast to watch! Lol'd through out. Definitely ranks in the top 5 of all Yang Ze vertical dramas. Give it a try (and thx OP for sharing! ❤️)

I am gonna watch this show just for him. Even if he is only on screen 5 minutes

I mourn this shift in c-ent towards verticals! The 3 micros/verticals on his MDL list are all very good but he has so many others out in 2026 and very few are any good so far. Watching one of his longer minis rn and you can clearly see the difference in quality, including his acting. The rushed production schedules for these vertical dramas means even talented actors can't do much more than throw on a costume and say their lines.

The wine drinking scene in ep 4 is great! Hilariously written and I adore the acting choices by them both.

This. From subtitle languages offered for cdramas it is clear which regions are prioritized. Europe is clearly not one of them. Selfishly, i want the popularity to increase so I can read in french.

Good concept, bad execution.

Cute pair of normal people with normal skills go from having a fake -> real marriage, struggle to make their restaurant successful while also clearing the name of a disgraced father, and along the way they accidentally collect a found family of rag-tag tag fighter types. It all feels very medium stakes (but in a nice, comforting way).

This was quite cute! The beginning is just okay and it gets a little slow in the middle, but I am glad I didn't give up on it because the last half came together really well.

Not quite as good as it could have been but I will have a soft spot in my heart forever for this one because of that final line of dialogue 🤣

Nope

Agreed. First saw him in this and he impressed me. Now I am gonna watch out for his future projects. Minis have a wide range in quality for sure, but what matters more than the form is the effort and skill put into it. Actors should take on good roles with good crew and not have to worry about genre stigma. Get that face in front of an audience and win over new fans

Believe the title on this one. This story is only about her supreme competance and her rise to greatness. She has no character development/growth, only societal advancement. The whole tetanus plot was cringe/unnecessary and i wish they had used some of that time on the ML and his (non-existent) investigation and the palace villains instead

This was almost really excellent - intriguing setting, good themes, good characters (heroes and villains), good acting. There was so much to love about this, but ultimately it didn't quite pay off on a great setup and became tedious because it forgot that protagonists who are always perfect are ultimately not very interesting.

There is a subbed version on Facebook if you search, but imo this one is not worth finding

Thank you!
