Finally, get a hand in this movie. Really hard to find, usually when I search for The Beauty Inside, the majority it’s all linked to the drama, not the movie. What intrigues me to watch this movie, of course the summary. What would you do if you woke up with a new face every day? This happens to Woo Jin (WJ), a man who designs furniture, who has lived with this condition since his 16th birthday. WJ changes his body everyday to an elderly man, a little boy, a chubby woman, a foreigner, etc… The only people that know of his illness are his mother and his best friend, Sang Baek.
One day, WJ meets Yi Soo (YS), a girl who works for a furniture store and instantly falls in love with her. Since his physical identity changes frequently, he continues to visit her daily, acting as a customer that she has never seen before. When the perfect day with the ‘perfect face’ comes, WJ finally musters up the courage to talk to her and ask her out on a date. WJ knowing that his face will change once he falls asleep, attempts to stay awake for as long as he can. WJ managed to stay awake for three consecutive days and made YS fall in love with him. However, at the end of the 3rd day, WJ can no longer fight sleep, he passes out and wakes up with a new face. What will happen to WJ & YS story? Will WJ tell YS about his condition? What will Yi Soo think?
What’s best about this movie, besides the interesting plot, is the realistic portrayal of what would happen if we were as YS & WJ. I can put myself in their shoes…
What I don't too like is the stupid decision YS made in the end.
That’s overall the story… Overall this one unique movie you can check it out…
Below I'll write a little bit SPOILER. So read it at your own risk!!!
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
For you who want to know… Yes, WJ finally tell YS about his condition & they started dating. YS tried her best to overcome WJ's condition, but eventually it all came at the cost of YS mental health. You imagine your man changing his whole body into someone new. At first maybe it’s gonna be fun, but later you'll have trust issues & everything else… Like what YS experienced, it’s quite realistic, I can imagine myself in YS’s shoes.
After YS starts to have mental problems, WJ consult his mom & find out that it turns out his dad also had the same condition with WJ, and it concluded his condition is genetic. WJ’s mom tell him YS will be OK as soon she separated from WJ, cause that’s turned out happen to herself & WJ’s dad. Hearing his mom's experience, WJ decided to leave YS.
What would you do if you were YS or WJ? If I were WJ, I'd also make the same decision with WJ. And if I were YS I’d also gonna leave WJ, especially cause WJ first already left me.

The dub very disturb me
Not many people watch nor know this show. But I've watch season 1 & in my memory I quite like it, for mystery detective drama, this drama quite interest me. But in term of the story, I've completely forgot about this & not have any willingness to watch the season 1 first before jump watch this. Fortunately, the story is quite separated from season 1, only the important cast remain the same (ML & FL), so I or anyone can just jump to watch this, without need to watch the season 1 first.This time, this drama joined between 2 country, Thailand and China. The story, Jin Ling (JL) has been working with police in Thailand for some time (don't know how long). This drama open with Tan Jing Tian (JT) also go to Thailand for student exchange & met up with his girlfriend, JL.
Arrived at Thai, JT welcome with a murder case and him as a suspect ^^. After investigation, of course JT proven to be innocent just wrong place and wrong time. And with that JT also get acquaintance with the Thai police. Of course at this foreign country, JT also help police with their investigation, especially when it comes to insect. And over time the police more and more trust JT, especially the captain, "Chai" Vorarit.
That's overall the story for this drama. Now let's discuss what I like & don't like.
What I like:
+ The relationship between JT & JL is just cute. They're really one traditional Asian couple. No kiss, hardly hold hand & absolutely no sleep together. I don't know this the decision of the director or the actor/ess themselves. And the funniest thing, Chai is like the third wheel in their relationship. Always disturb JT & JL, especially when comes to crucial moment, like when they're about to kiss. That's why sometimes JL just be jealous for JT & Chai relationship.
+ The world of insect really wide, deep & interesting. In here we get a brief explanation about many insect, that in my opinion, sometimes we can learn & can't take it lightly.
+ The earbud translation... Haha... You know the smart technology that can translate any language directly to your ear. Yeah, because JT & JL in Thai and they don't understand Thai, they use that earbud for most of the time to communicate with police Thai.
+ They use the Conan cursed but ward it off nicely... Haha.. You know Detective Conan. Yeah... JT like Conan, who always find case around him, so some people just mocking JT with that mockery.
What I don't like:
- The final case seem anticlimax. I can't really explained how or what I mean. That's just what I feel.
- Sometimes they're not too consistent with the language. Sometimes they like forget to wear the earbud but they're like understand the conversation between Thai & Chinese.
- The one thing that's really bothered me for the whole drama, that make me HAVE TO give this drama quite low score is... The over dubbing. OMG.... They already join production with several Thai actor, but sometimes when it's all only the Thai people speaking, they still dub it into Chinese. It just make me feel weird & quite confuse actually when it's only Thai people and there's no people from other country between them, they still dub it into Chinese. And when suddenly there're Thai or English voice it just make me weird as a whole.... Oh yeah they still sometimes use Thai not dub into Chinese.... If maybe they're just completely dub in Chinese with a few English it's gonna be a little bit better.... Why...? Why must spend extra budget for some voice actor to dub the Thai language instead just use their own voice with Chinese sub...? I know I know maybe it's due to censorship b*lllsh*t.
And you know what the most funny thing for me. It's only for me & I'm sorry if that's make whoever read this feel I'm homophobic or whatever. But I think I watch too many BL drama, that's make me feel or rather search for BL vibe... Haha... And several times I feel like they try to insert the BL vibe into the drama... Like the relationship between Chai & JT, or Chai & Ter.
But overall I really happy this series get the chance to get season 2....

May 2024 Recommendation Challenge
Long time hesitate to watch this, because it really has long episodes but the review always great. But thanx to Recommendation Challenge & bitcoolcat, I finally watch this.... And yes I must admit this is one the best historical drama.The story nothing too new about the harem. Story about a girl named Wei Ying Luo (YL) who enter palace from embroiderer and rising to the top to became emperor's consort. The difference is just the motive beyond YL action. YL 1st came to the palace because of her sister rape & murder, she wanted to investigate & bring justice to her sister's death. And upon investigating, she find out, or think, the one responsible for her sister's death is Fuca Fu Heng (FH), the Empress's brother. But as time goes by, she learn the character of FH & finally trust it's not him responsible for her sister's death. How the story goes.... It's really interesting to watch how the story goes till the end.
YL is one interesting girl, she's loyal, brave, smart & quick witted girl. She's like a new wind in the palace, and her wittiness get the attention of the Empress, FH & even Emperor and later on the Empress Dowager. Her shortfall only one, she's willing & will do anything in her power to achieve her goal, no matter who obstruct her way she'll gonna strike it. And that's often bring trouble for her. But with the protection of Empress, FH, Emperor and later on the Empress Dowager, she's manage to avoid all the danger & thrive till the end.
What I like:
+ The clever FL. YL is really one smart girl that know how to manipulate situations for her advantage.
+ I finally understand the feeling of missing opportunity between FH & YL. Oh one really sadly miss opportunities for these couple. And I really quite like the chemistry between Xu Kai & Wu Jin Yan.
What i don't too like:
- A little slow pace the last 10 episode. I really hope it end when YL & 2nd Empress make peace. I mean the moment the 2nd Empress said it will gonna be peace for a couple of year, before the emperor's sons grow up. I understand they need to close the curtain when YL's revenge to Prince He is completely ending, and I really wish that happen before the emperor's sons grow up, but that's maybe what's written in the history book & I can't really blamed the writer for it.
- Watching too much of the same time period & the same person, but in different drama, make me feel the character itself blurry in the end. And the most obvious character for me is the character of the 2nd empress & the empress from Huan Zhu Ge Ge & FL from Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace is like different person although they all the same.
Overall this really one good historical drama to watch. Highly recommend.

Fill with spoiler. Watch with ur own risk
Quite intrigue watch this short drama... But as usual with short drama, this also quite fast pace & a little week at the end.Tell story about Lin Xian (LX) & Zhuang Xiao Man (XM). They arranged to be engaged by their grandpa. But after a little threatened by LX's grandpa, LX finally settled in XM house. XM that's being sick by all the blind date the villager arranged for her & LX that's need to be agreed to his grandpa make a little secret deal, to be agreed in their engagement for about 1.5 month and after that they agreed to break the relationship.
But.... Because LX & XM is the main couple here, of course they finally fall in love with each other. LX that gets used to with farming life also falling in love with the lifestyle in the village. The end...? Haha.... This is drama, of course not....
LX's company turn out hanging on the cliff, and before coming to the village, he made a deal with Lu Yao (LY) to be her fiance. LY try to break LX & XM relationship through Chen Jingwen & successful. They break up. But later on XM find out the truth & decided to chase LX to the city. Will it successful? Well... I think I spoiled enough. You need to continue watch urself.
What rush?
- The way XM & LX fall in love feel a little bit rush. Suddenly they just already fall in love with each other.
- The ending. Ugh... I really wish for better ending...
Overall do I feel this worth watching? For short drama YES! This has beginning, middle and end. The story quite clear & good. The acting also quite good, not feel the actor/ess like just graduates from acting students drama.

Intrique to watch this from YouTube pitching. Turn out as quite good. Sometimes really amazing with YouTube algorithm. Haha...Story about a man, Liu Li (LL), who goes through heart break. Although it's been 2 years, but LL still can't move on from his crush and that's effect his writing. It's like he's been running in place for 2 years. And that's when he meet Gu Jing (GJ), the owner of beef noodle restaurant under his house. And they story began when LL drunk & accidently kiss GJ.
This drama told story about time, friendship & love heal the wound & open new beginning. This drama also tell us about to learn to put ur partner in every things in ur life. Like when GJ have trouble with his mom, LL that finally speak up & break the cycle.
Overall this heart warming story about love & relationships.

I can't believe my eyes...
Whoa... Where should I start...Never expected to find BL stories that more chaotic than tharntype. Haha... Everything that so messed up that you can think about materialized in here... Haha... Of course, I'm talking about Fu Yong Jie & Ye Xing Si story...
Trigger warning, this gonna be big SPOILER ALERT. Cause I gonna tell you what mean with 'everything that so messed up that you can think about materialized in here.'
Ok as usual save review first.
This drama basically tell story about 2 couple. 1st Xiao Li Cheng (LC) & Teng Mu Ren / "Teng Teng" (TT) and 2nd is Fu Yong Jie (YJ) & Ye Xing Si (XS).
The 1st couple LC & TT tell story about 2 best friend that with time & the right trigger in the end having more feeling with each other. Why right trigger...? Just don't judge me homophobic after reading my review.... But their feeling starts after one of their new colleagues, Liu Mei Fang, observation toward their behaviors with each other, start playing 'matchmaking'. And after so many influences LC & TT start to feel different toward each other, especially after one special night... That's why I said the right trigger. Because without the matchmaking game I don't think their feeling for each other will go anywhere & just stay friend & platonic.
But anyhow I kinda like LC & TT chemistry with each other. And I also really like the friendship & dynamic between LC, TT & XS. The mature & father figure of XS that help LC & TT with giving his ear for their problem. The cat & mouse relationship between TT & LC. And in the end they're really one true friend that gonna stay by each other side though thick & thin...
Overall this quite good drama with many many problem....
==================================================
Ok now the BIG SPOILER!!!!
Fu Yong Jie (YJ) & Ye Xing Si (XS) story is so messed up, it make me quite speechless...
The biggest problem!
How can until the end no one educate YJ for his fault & problem. Even until the end XS still said he can't be angry for everything that YJ did. OH... MY... GOD... (said it like Janice from FRIENDS. Haha...)
What YJ did wrong...?
1st he stalks his brother, his hidden love, even when he's sleeping.
2nd he rapes him, yup RAPE, made his brother drunk & f***ing rape him.
3rd he goes against his brother, now lover, wish & tell their dad about their relationship. Even with the knowledge that his dad can have heart attack when hearing this info...
And what his family do after all of that??? F***ing nothing. They just forgive & accepted him back to the family with no consequences at all. Not even a little bit punishment or wrath from the family...
Once more OH... MY... GOD... (said it like Janice from FRIENDS. Haha...

Hesitate to watch this cause Angelababy not my fav actress, a few times watch her just to find her acting lack something. But on the first ep I already see Ren Jia Lun act something beyond my imagination. Of course that make me have to watch this....This story really interesting to watch. They talk about something taboo, mental illness & make us understand that this kind of illness we can't take lightly & sometimes we really need consult or just talk to someone & that's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Ok this drama talk about Liu Xia (LX), a psychological counselor & Qi Lian Shan (LS), a screenwriter. They accidentally become roommates & friend & finally partner for each other. Really interesting how their relationship grow, it's a little slow pace but how they build the friendship & trust is real & fit. I can feel Ren Jia Lun & Angelababy have good friendship, if not earlier at least in the time they shoot the drama.
What really interesting from this drama:
+ We can sometimes see Ren Jia Lun act combustible, due to him act according to script he write. We see him jump, do little karate, everything so cute that I never expected him to do...
+ We got more story than we expected. Haha... LS is script writer and during the drama he write 3 drama, so we get to see all the story he write comes to life with familiar face from all the actor in this drama. So yeah each actor also played more than 1 characters throughout the drama.
+ We got to see the real character true face from the drama LS wrote, especially the police story.
What feel a little lack:
- I don't like the ending. It feel it still leave something hanging in the air that need to be take care of before they close the curtain.
- Due to each character play several characters in the drama, I sometimes got confuse about it. Yeah i know they quite different, but still....
Overall this quite good drama to watch

Another good short drama, with complete concept with beginning-middle-end. We can see this is not really a low budget short drama. Even though it's only 14 ep with 35 min each, but we can say this made with love & story to tell.Really interesting how they flip the concept of time travelling & what a poor Lu Yu An (YA). This story start in the future & with each time travelling Shen Bu Yan (BY) move backward in time instead just moving forward. So the first time meeting between BY & YA is actually the last time they met each other & the last meeting is actually the first time they met each other. So yeah, with all the knowledge & missing feeling of BY by YA, it's just pity her...
This drama tell story of BY that try to change the fate of YA. With each time travelling he tried his best to change the fate of YA, but instead changing it, I say he put everything just in the place where it's belong. And with the wheel keep going backward each time we got story to tell...
This time travel concept tell us that we can't really change what in the past, we can only learn & know what happen in the past. That's why, I kinda frustrated with BY actually. He a little bit slow in understand the concept of his time travelling, so he just waste so many valuable time to tell YA what she need to know about future. I mean YA obviously already told him, in the second time, at that time she still has memory of BY, how he not understand that he can't change the wheel of fate...? A little slow if I must say. Haha...
Overall this really one good short story that you may check out. Oh and btw, This is maybe the first time that I really like the performance of Zhang Ya Qin as YA... She played her good....

Short & simple drama
Simple story about love. A short drama that sweet, fluff & just simple to fill your day. For the short drama I can say this has complete story, has beginning-middle-ending. The story itself not a complicated one, but still leave a footprint in your memory.Story about a girl that like another girl. Maybe like shiro wrote: 'This is the story about the girl who wanted to learn how to make great coffee... or more like got a crush on a barista so she used the oldest trick in the book "learning" to get close to her.' But cause it's just a short drama, so we got no story from their family or you can say, anyone else. This just a story about 2 girls, how they start the acquaintanceship > friendship > courtship > being together.
One short drama that you can watch to fill you day...

annoying BGM
Watch this for Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge 2023. Turn out the story quite interesting, the acting not so bad, the costume etc also not so cheap. The only thing that annoy me to the point I almost drop this is the BGM. I don't know why, or it just pure my bad luck, but this time youku have that annoyed BGM where it should not be, or the disappearing voice altogether (almost like mango tv in YouTube if you know what I mean). The only help only the text still exist so we still understand what they talk about. Thankfully the story still quite interesting & it's only short one, so yeah I hang till the end.This drama tell a story 3 sister, Mo Shi Shi (SI), Mo Sha Sha (SA) & Mo Jing Jing (JJ) that Fall in love with the same guy, Shen Mu Han (MH), SA & JJ have the same mother while SI has different mother, but they all have the same father. The story begin when Si married to MH, but later on she died injustice & back to the past to the day of her wedding with MH. With the memory of the future, SI start to change her own fate & begin her love story with MH.
Shen Mu Han (MH) married with SI with one purpose, to take revenge to SI cause he think that SI kill SA (his love). But with time he learn that everything is not like what he think it is. MH start to know the real SI & of course fall in love with her, he also found out who he actually love in the first place.
With time rolling, SI & MH start to unravel many interesting past regarding SI's parent story. And finally SI get the revenge for her mother & light everything that evil try to hide. (I'm not gonna write it here, cause that the big spoiler & I'm not gonna ruin that much)
Except the annoying BGM for me this drama is like any other short series, feel quick & fast forward, where some story happen so d*mn fast.
Overall if you can ignore the BGM & disappearing voice, this story still quite bearable & good enough.

Watch this shortly after I watch Love of Replica, and due to my personal problem I even watch it together for some first few episode. Found the story quite similar, where the the same face girl take another girl place & later we find out that they are turn out to be twin. But with more episode we go through, turn out the 2 drama not really similar story.This drama tells a story about a girl name Nie Sang Yu (SY) that fall from the cliff & lost her memory, she is a wife of the marquis Ning, Ning Yu Xuan (YX). As the summary told us, SY is a woman with a reputation for treachery, scheming, and evil, but this new awake woman has completely different character from the description woman, she is cheerful & kind hearted woman. But because of the amnesia, everyone keep believe she is the same girl. And later on we find out that she is completely different woman, named Ji Man (JM) that turn out to be SY twin.
What I love about this drama:
+ The chemistry between Ding Yu Xi & Peng Xiao Ran. Although Ding Yu Xi wardrobe, hair style & character kinda remind me of his other character in The Romance of Tiger and Rose, especially the hair style.
+ The funny story of Gui Bai (GB) & Shui Niang Zi. Although also a little frustrated by stubbornness of GB, but yeah it's still kinda understandable.
+ The noble character of Yuan Lang. He is one man that never avoid his fault & finally that this very character that finally bring peace to JM & YX.
What I don't too like about this drama:
- The classic stupidity of the opponent, in here I mean Ling Jian Xing.
- The usual greedy of another family of the emperor, Prince Tan. Nothing much, just kinda boring with this plot.
- The too easy situation of ML. YX as usual ML, get all the trust from emperor & everything seem easy for him.
Overall this drama has nothing new or old to offer, but still quite good to watch.

This drama told story of almost impossible logic or science. If you read discussion below, there's someone talk about this story probably happen in the future timeline. Yeah that's kinda make sense, if we see the phone they use here, transparent phone in that case. But if really happen in the future timeline, why not just make it completely obvious with all the futuristic technology, or at least give more obvious sign that this happen in the future timeline. If yes, that's more make sense for the story in this drama to happen. So kinda patchy story, if I must say.
But the good about this drama:
+ The chemistry of Tsao Yu Ning & Yilia Yu never disappoint me. That's the advantage with pairing old couple together
+ This drama tell us that family is not only about blood relative, but more of connection. Sometime Asian drama talk about how important blood are, but lack the importance of the connection that build overtime. I'm not gonna spill here, cause it's a major spoiler. You definitely have to watch till the end to know what I mean.
+ Funny relationship between Tian Sui & her 2 men, Ding Bei Fan & Jiang Tian Cheng. But I really happy with who she choose in the end. It show that sometimes companionship is a lot more important than love at the first sight.
Overall even though feel this like push the boundary for the story to match with the whole picture, but this drama still provide us good chemistry between our lead, good friendship, action & good story to tell. So yeah I still say you can check this one out.

Just like Unique Lady
This story is like our dream, where we fall into the book & become character in the book & become FL/ML & falling in love with main character there. It's become lucky if the story is our own writing, so we know inside out about all the character & plot.This part/season of the drama is only the beginning where we get to know all the important character & plot. We see how FL, Yan Yi Yi/Consort Rong (YY), maneuver the story so she can save herself. In that maneuver, she create new characteristic for her character that make ML/emperor fall in love with her.
The reason I gave the title Just like Unique Lady, because this part of the story end like Unique Lady, which mid-part. Actually in my opinion the more fit to give the title of this drama not season, but part 1. And how much I really hope MDL not separate them, cause it suck to separate the review like this....
Overall all the story for this drama just the beginning in here & I quite excited to continue follow this journey

One perfect short drama
Sometimes pick the right short drama is like picking lottery, so many bad thing, but once you found a good one just like hit the jackpot. Haha...This short drama compare to other you can say one perfect little short drama. One short drama that not only offer you complete story (with beginning, middle & end), but also has very good meaningful story to tell. Although of course every drama still has it's minus point, but for me a short drama like this is just hit the perfect point. A little warning, I'm gonna spoiler a little, but still not a big spoiler so I don't think I'll gonna ruin your enjoyment for watching this drama. But if you don't want to spoiler at all, just skip reading my review then...
This drama tell a story about very unconfident woman named Chi Xiao Yu (XY), that often be doormat for the people in her office. The story begin when she found an app that can bring dishes that can change her characteristic, and the first order of course to give her the courage to change her as a doormat at her office. And from that the story go on... Unfortunately the effect from eat the dishes not long, only 15 min if I'm not mistaken & she has to order and eat it again. The interesting part is she's not only order that specific character, but also other character, like became queen of drama romance when she wants to date, etc....
What XY never expected, there's heavy price that she has to pay for the character that she's order. Like in real life, when something to easy, there're usually heavy price that we have to pay to gain it... Yeah in this case, her drawing talent, overtime her talent became worse and worse. And this the little MINUS of this drama, she never realize what make her talent became worse and worse, she just think because she's not practice it. So yeah she just continue practice her skill, while she's also stop ordering the special dishes. So yeah of course her skill become better and better again.
In the other hand turn out our ML, Su Yang (SY), also the customer of the character shop. But him in the other hand, only order 1 special dishes... Can you guess what...? Watch it for know it. Haha... And the heavy price he has to pay is his time & his appetite. He has no time for anything except his business & he can't eat anything except the special dishes he order from the character shop.
Overtime they bring us another price that they have to pay for eating the specialty dish. Our CP, XY & SY, think what the other like about themselves, the actual character of themselves or the character that they got from the character shop. That's also happen to ourselves in real life. When we put too many mask in our face for other to see, we will never gonna know what other person like more about us, the real us or just the mask that we put in our face, that sometimes we put to please other people.
What really interesting is the closure of this drama. Where both XY & SY finally stop ordering from the character shop & finally brave enough to show their real self to other person. Or to take quote from Wang Zhe, the owner of the character shop: "what people really need is the bravery to change themselves."
If you look for any short drama to watch. This is just one prefect short drama to be put into your watch list
