Excellent isekai Satire, unexpected, humorous, and a truly great CL

PLOT: The ML, a star "diva" actor, and the FL, an unambitious actress, read the absurd script of the drama they're supposed to film (where the ML, initially a lover-husband, cheats on the FL, and ends up killing her). But the FL find herself immersed in the script. The FL, daughter of the Minister of War, was engaged to the ML2, and tries everything to correct the storyline, despite the rules imposed by the screenwriter.

+++ An excellent CL with Liu Yu Ning (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) always amazing (sings the opening song) & Li Yi Tong (even if her character's blind stubbornness is annoying during the drama's first half).
+++ A bunch of excellent and famous actors
+++ High-level production with a lot of budget: sets, costumes, CGI, fight scenes, ... Everything is perfect! The costumes are amazing, the designer did a great job!!
+++ Really great OSTs and sound effects
+++ Unpredictable storyline, with suspense maintained until the very end.

### The FL's attitude and behavior become unbearable (sticks to her initial prejudices, without reflection or progression)
### The ML2's absurd, pathetic obsession (both towards the FL, who rejects him, and in his revenge against the ML) :(

=> EXCELLENT, unexpected, humorous, and a truly great CL.
**************************************
Satyre d'ICK avec Liu Yu Ning & Li Yi Tong

PLOT: Le ML, acteur star "diva" et la FL, actrice "peu convaincue" lisent le script absurde du drama qu'ils doivent tourner (où le ML d'abord lover-mari, trompe la FL et finit par la tuer). Mais ils se retrouvent ts les 2 plongés dans le script. La FL, fille du Ministre de la Guerre était fiancée au ML2, tente tout pr corriger la storyline, malgré les règles imposées par le screenwriter.

+++ Un excellent CL avec Liu Yu Ning (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) always amazing (chante l'opening song) & Li Yi Tong (même si l'entêtement aveugle de son personnages, est agaçant).
+++ A bunch of excellent and famous actors
+++ High level production with a lot of budget : sets, costumes, CGI, fight scenes, ... ALL is perfect! The costumes are amazing, the designer did a great job !!
+++ Really great OSTs and sound effects
+++ Storyline imprévisible, avec un suspense ménagé jusqu'au bout.

### Attitude et comportement de la FL qui devient insupportable (s'en tient à ses préjugés initiaux, sans réflexion ni progression)
### Obsession du ML2 absurde, pathétique (tant envers la FL qui le rejette, que dans sa vengeance envers le ML) :(

=> EXCELLENT, inattendu, humoristique, and a really great CL.

A joyful and heartwarming series

PLOT: Cher/Laem (a playful student, gamer, and streamer) begins an internship at Boss Gun's company (a taciturn, demanding man with a history of homophobia trauma). Gun needs Cher's ASMR streams to sleep. A relationship gradually develops between them, allowing them to heal past wounds and face the challenges of the future.

+++ Force and Book are adorable, moving, subtle, and have very natural chemistry. I love this couple ☆✲゚。(((´♡‿♡`+)))。゚✲☆
+++ A coherent and realistic story that nevertheless tackles difficult themes (rape, domestic violence, suicide). Effective direction, with no dull moments.
+++ The overall tone is light, with two great teams: the friendship of the gamer team and the humor of the coworkers.
+++ Great OSTs.

### A few clichés, but handled with humor.

=> A joyful and heartwarming series.
***************************************************

+++ Force et Book sont adorables, émouvants, subtiles, et avec une alchimie très naturelle.J'adore ce couple ☆✲゚。(((´♡‿♡`+)))。゚✲☆
+++ Story cohérente, réaliste, qui aborde cpdt des thèmes durs (viol, violences familiales, suicide). Réalis° efficace, sans temps mort.
+++ Le ton est pourtant léger dans l'ensemble, avec 2 teams sympas : la friendship de la team gamers, l'humour des co-workers.
+++ OSTs OK.

### Qq clichés, mais traités avec humour.

I've rarely seen such a poorly written story :(

PLOT: Following the assassination of her husband (a wealthy businessman), a woman asks her driver to bring his son Palm (a fisherman) back to protect her own son, Nueng (a high school student and for everyday life). Palm protects Nueng as much as possible (physically and emotionally). However, an assassination attempt wounds the mother and forces Palm and Nueng to flee. When Palm's mother is also killed, the two (now) lovers decide to return to Bangkok to confront the Great Villain.

+++ I like Pond and Phuwit, particulary Pond who is charismatic, but Phuwit is a bit too poker-faced for my taste. Pond and Phuwit are very cute and handsome, but the chemistry isn't obvious. More, Phuwit doesn't seem very comfortable in intimate scenes. Pond is much more natural.
+++ I love the OSTs.
+++ No technical issues whatsoever. term of production°.

BUT
### Palm's father character holds the record for stupidity and incompetence.
### NOTHING in the storyline makes sense: the heir (later avenger) in high school? A young, incompetent fisherman as a bodyguard? An 18-year-old kid, alone, facing a powerful and ruthless mobster uncle, while his (adult and capable) parents couldn't even protect themselves? [...] I can't list them all, it's too long, but we don't do KinnPorsche in high school...

WAY TOO MUCH nonsense, inconsistencies, plot holes щ(ಠ益ಠщ) щ(ಠ益ಠщ)

=> It started off well, but it quickly went downhill 。゚(゚´(00)`゚)゚。

*************************************************
Rarement vu une story aussi mal écrite :(

PLOT: Suite à l'assassinat de son mari (riche homme d'affaires), une femme demande au chauffeur de ramener son fils Palm (pêcheur) pr protéger son propre fils, Nueng (lycée et vie quotidienne). Palm protège Nueng autant que possible (physiquement et émotionnellement). Cpdt, une tentative d'assassinat blesse la mère et oblige Palm et Nueng à fuir. Qd la mère de Palm est tuée, les 2 (devenus) lovers décident de revenir à Bangkok pr faire face au Great Villain.

+++ J'aime bcp Pond & Phuwit, surtt Pond qui est charismatique, mais Phuwit est un peu trop poker-face à mon goût. Pond & Phuwin sont très cute, handsome, mais l'alchimie n'est pas évidente. En particulier, Phuwin ne semble pas très à l'aise dans les scènes intimes. Pond est bcp plus naturel.
+++ J'adore les OSTs.
+++ RAS techniquement en terme de réalis°.

MAIS
### Le personnage du père de Palm détient le record de la bêtise et de l'incompétence.
### RIEN dans la storyline, ne tient pas la route : l'héritier (puis vengeur) au lycée ? un jeune pêcheur sans compétence comme garde du corps ? Un gamin de 18 ans, seul, face à 1 oncle mafieux puissant et prêt à tout, alors que ses parents (adultes et compétents) n'ont mm pas su se protéger ? [...] Je ne peux pas faire la liste, elle est trop longue, mais on ne fait pas du KinnPorsche au lycée ...
TROP TROP de non-sens, d'incohérences, de plot holes щ(ಠ益ಠщ) щ(ಠ益ಠщ)

=> Elle avait bien commencé, mais cela n'a pas tardé à sombrer 。゚(゚´(00)`゚)゚。

Mini Historical Revenge series (26 x 15") - Sweet and Fun

PLOT: Two feuding sisters were married in the same mansion: FL (calm and wise) to the son of a concubine (lazy, opportunistic, and perverse); and FL2 (jealous, manipulative, and twisted) to the Crown Prince (why ? He is not the emperor's son). The Crown Prince divorces, and both sisters are killed. They are both reincarnated and decide to swap husbands. The Crown Prince will gradually be won over by FL, but this couple has many enemies (love rival; ML2; FL2; Prince Ning, etc.) who will eventually kill the Crown Prince and the sisters. Second reincarnation -> everyone will be more cunning.

+++ Excellent actors. I am delighted to see Qin Tian Yu in his first leading role; he truly deserves it!
+++ Effective, fast-paced direction and consistent storyline.

### Lots of used twists: poison, aphrodisiac, corrupted rival, evil FL2 always appearing at the right time and place, etc.

=> Nice, light, played by talented actors ... but not memorable. Just for the fun :)

A very chaste Japanese BL with two great leads

PLOT: Because of a name with a heart on an eraser, Aoki (Michieda Shunsuke) confesses his feelings to Ida (Meguro Ren). Ida is surprised but decides to think about it. Over time, Aoki truly falls in love with Ida, who eventually agrees to be a couple. But these two love novices have many obstacles to overcome.

+++ A funny, subtle, and very cute CL with Michieda Shunsuke and Meguro Ren. The emotional bonds are strong and well-expressed, but romance and physical expression are lacking.
+++ Talented actors and endearing characters (some almost caricatured "in the Japanese style").
+++ Fast-paced direction and a story that portrays the trials of first love quite well.

### Very Japanese style OSTs
### Not even a kiss :(

=> Cute series, but a little frustrating.

Avec le temps, Aoki tombe vraiment amoureux de Ida, qui finit par accepter de se mettre en couple. Mais ces 2 novices en amour ont bien des obstacles à surmonter.

+++ Un CL drôle, subtile, très cute avec Michieda Shunsuke et Meguro Ren. Les liens affectifs sont forts et bien exprimés, mais le romantisme et l'expression physique sont absents.
+++ Des acteurs de talent et des personnages attachants (certains presque caricaturaux "à la japonaise").
+++ Réalis° rythmée & story qui décrit assez bien les affres du 1er amour.

### OSTs très très nipponnes
### Même pas un bisou :(

=> Mignon, mais un rien frustrant.

Short-length series about inner court struggles

PLOT: The FL and her sister infiltrate the Palace to survive. The sister gains the Emperor's favor, but [due to the plots of the other consorts] ends up being sent to the Cold Palace and dies. The FL, an intelligent and cunning maid, remains in the service of successive consorts to clear her sister's name and expose her murderers.

+++ The story is fairly coherent, focusing on the Forbidden City, the rivalries between consorts, and the struggles for the Emperor's favor (wealth, power, status).
+++ Limited budget, but the sets are beautiful and some costumes are magnificent (other costumes, however, look very cheap).
+++ The actors are attractive, but their acting skills are uneven and inconsistent. The Emperor and the ML (the Emperor's uncle) lack charisma.

### It's difficult to get invested in this story because something's missing: less clumsy direction? More convincing actors? A more subtle plot? In any case, the recipe is incomplete...

=> Worth watching just to pass the time, nothing more.

+++ Story à peu près cohérente, focus sur la Cité Interdite, les rivalités entre consorts et les luttes pr avoir la faveur de l'empereur (richesses, pouvoir, statut).
+++ Budget limité, mais les décors sont beaux et certains costumes, magnifiques (d'autres costumes, par contre, font très cheap :)
+++ Les acteurs sont beaux, mais ### leurs acting skills sont inégales et variables :) L'empereur, le ML (oncle de l'empereur) manquent de charisme.

### Difficile de s'investir dans cette histoire, car il manque qqchose : 1 réalisat° moins maladroite ? des acteurs plus convaincants ? 1 story plus subtile ? En tous cas, la recette est incomplète ...

=> A voir juste pour passer le temps, rien de plus.

Was the script written by an AI ?

Watched only for Ryan Ren, this mini-drama is a rom-revenge story during the Republican Era.

PLOT: The FL, Liang Yi, an heiress, is disfigured and "killed" on her wedding day by her husband (ML2). She is taken in by a brothel, has her face changed to become Xu Yin (desired by a rich jerk). She is rescued by the ML (gang leader) who marries her.
ML2 marries a fake Liang Yi to inherit the family fortune. Opium trafficking, power struggles (governor and military), etc.

+++ Ryan Ren as ML
+++ Great OSTs

### Who wrote the script?? An AI, probably. If it was a real person, were they smoking opium? The storyline is twisted, incoherent, and unnecessarily convoluted. There's a lot of violence (how many liters of fake blood?), deaths, attempted rapes, not to mention the face swaps, illegitimate children, etc.

### The FL, supposedly smart and educated, acts so stupid and naive it makes you want to cry/roll your eyes/tear your hair out. Nobody behaves like that in real life.

### The director very clearly designed his series SOLELY for visuals, forgetting all coherence and logic.

=> I'm like Daydreamer, wondering how I managed to watch this drivel all the way through. Out of curiosity? For Ryan Ren (why did he agree to this series? Did he owe the director a favor?).

=> In short, don't waste your time watching this stupid story (unless you're a die-hard Ryan Ren fan).

************************************************
Regardé uniquement pr Ryan Ren ce mini drama Rom-Revenge, dont le script incohérent, a probablement été écrit par une IA.

PLOT: La FL, Liang Yi, héritière, est défigurée et" tuée" le jour de son mariage par son mari (ML2). Elle est récupérée par un bordel, change de visage pr devenir Xu Yin (convoitée par 1 riche crétin). Elle est sauvée par le ML (chef de gang) qui l'épouse. Le ML2 a épousé une fake Liang Yi pr récupérer les biens de la famille. Trafic d'opium, luttes de pouvoir (gouverneur et militaire), etc.

+++ Ryan Ren en ML
+++ Bonnes OSTs

### Qui a écrit le scénario ?? Est-ce qu'il fumait de l'opium ? La storyline est tordue, incohérente, inutilement convoluted. Il y a bcp de violence (combien de litres de fake blood ?), de morts, de tentatives de viol, sans compter les changements de visage, les enfants illégitimes, etc.
### La FL, censée être intelligente et instruite, est d'une stupidité et d'une naïveté à "pleurer / rouler des yeux / s'arracher les cheveux". Personne ne se comporte comme ça IRL.
### Le réalisateur a TRES visiblement conçu sa série UNIQUEMENT pour les visuels, en oubliant tte cohérence et logique.

=> Je suis comme Daydreamer, me demandant comment j'ai réussi à regarder ce navet jusqu'au bout. Par curiosité ? Pour Ryan Ren (pourquoi a-t-il accepté cette série ? Il devait un service au réalisateur ?).

=> Bref, inutile de perdre son temps à regarder cette stupide histoire (sauf si vous êtes un fan absolu de Ryan Ren).

If you need an evening full of laughter :)

I'm not a fan of miniseries because they have many flaws (superficial tone, lack of character development, abrupt editing, low (or very low) budget, etc.). But I really liked this one.

It's an Isekai miniseries (24 x 10 min.) Funny and lively

PLOT: The FL, cheffe in modern time, has a traffic accident and is sent (in a coma) to a historical universe as the wife of a ferocious general (whom her two more favored sisters refuse to marry). To return to her world, she must discover her "true love."

+++ I really like the CL (Smile Wei & Cui Yu Xin) and I would like to see this couple again in more developed series.
+++ The tone is very humorous.
+++ All the clichés, but the direction is skillful.

### Drama with a low budget, but this one is well used.

=> Very entertaining nice series
*****************************************************
Je ne suis pas une fan des mini séries, car elles ont bcp de défauts (ton superficiel, pas de dvlpt des personnages, montage abrupt, petit (voire très petit) budget, etc. Mais j'ai bcp aimé celle-ci.

PLOT: La FL, cheffe, a un accident et est envoyée (coma) dans un univers historique comme épouse d'1 féroce général (que ses 2 sœurs, + favorisées, refusent d'épouser. Pr revenir ds son monde, elle doit découvrir son "true love".

+++ J'aime bcp le CL ( Smile Wei & Cui Yu Xin ) et j'aimerai revoir ce couple ds des séries plus développées.
+++ Le ton est très humoristique.
+++ Ts les clichés, mais la réalis° est habile.

### Drama avec un petit budget, mais celui-ci est bien exploité.

Not my cup of tea :(

Short-lenght format (24 X 10") with ALL the usual flaws

PLOT: A couple (actress & CEO) married but secretly, is on the verge of divorce. The ML has an accident that leaves him with amnesia. He returns to live with his wife, and must face without understanding anything, the multiple misunderstandings that have separated them from each other.

+++ The ML is convincing
+++ OST well suited

### The FL (inexpressive doll) and many other actors in this drama, need to improve their acting skills!!
### Everything is "rushed", without explanation, without transition ...
### Low-budget production, with only few sets, few costumes and ALL the clichés.

=> Not my cup of tea :(

+++ Le ML est convaincant
+++ OST adaptées

### La FL (poupée inexpressive) et bon nombre d'autres acteurs de ce drama doivent améliorer leurs acting skills !!
### Tout est "rushed", sans explication, sans transition ...
### Production low-budget, avec peu de décors, peu de costumes et TOUS les clichés.

Only if you are used to short-lenght format : this one is hot !

short format (30 X 15") mixed Action - Rom.

The FL, heiress, and the ML (a boxing champion framed in a fixed match) were drugged to spend the night together & ruin their reputation. 6 years later, the FL returns with twins and signs a marriage contract with the ML (she desire to be pregnant again to save her leukemic son). They will fall in love again, and untie the knots of the past, despite the shenanigans of love rivals.

+++ The actors (including Dai Gao Zheng who are excellent) do what theit everthing to make this story believable. An electric alchemy in the CL, very sensual with hot kisses in each episode.

BUT
### Incoherent story, full of clichés/plotholes/nonsense => Flaws of short formats where everything is rushed!
### Low-budget series (few sets, few costumes) and it shows!!

=> Entertaining for an evening, nothing more, (even if Dai Gao Zheng is hot)!

Ils vont retomber amoureux, et dénouer les nœuds du passé, malgré les manigances des rivaux amoureux.

+++ Les acteurs (dont Dai Gao Zheng excellent) font ce qu'ils peuvent. Une alchimie électrique ds le CL, très sensuelle avec des hot kisses ds chq épisodes.

MAIS
### Story incohérente, bourrée de clichés/ plotholes/ non-sens => Flaws des formats courts où tout est rushed !
### Série Low-budget (peu de décors, peu de costumes) et ça se voit !!

=> Divertissant pr une soirée, sans plus, (même si Dai Gao Zheng est hot) !

A mysterious (and sometimes confusing) trip

Fantasy series (double space-time) with Fan Zhi Xin

PLOT: the ML, heir to 1 group, threatened by his uncle since the death of his father, finds the FL who had saved him as a teenager from suicide 10 years earlier. In 2024, he hires her as an assistant to keep her close to him. She has the "quantum telephone" invented by the ML's father, and receives calls from 2025!ML who wants to do everything to prevent the planned FL's death.

+++ Fan Zhi Xin is fantastic, brilliant and moving, in these kind of mysterious & romantic plots.
+++ the format is short (16 x 30") and allows no downtime.
+++ Very good OSTs, beautiful cinematography.

### We have difficulty finding our way in the storyline: between the flashbacks, the 2 timelines, the memories which are updated according to the changes, etc. It's quite confusing!
### the narration hass plotholes at times

=> catchy, mysterious series, carried from start to finish by the talent of Fan Zhi Xin
*******************************************************************

Elle dispose du "téléphone quantique" inventé par le père du ML, et reçoit les appels du ML 2025 qui veut tout faire pr éviter la mort programmée de la FL.

+++ Fan Zhi Xin est fantastique, génial et émouvant, dans ces plots mystérieux & romantiques.
+++ le format est court (16 X 30") et ne permet aucun temps mort.
+++ Très bons OST, belle cinématographie.

### On a du mal à s'y retrouver dans la storyline : entre les flashbacks, les 2 timelines, les souvenirs qui s'actualisent selon les changements, etc. C'est assez confus !
### la narration laisse des plotholes par moments

=> série accrocheuse, mystérieuse, portée de bout en bout par le talent de Fan Zhi Xin

It's not light, it's dumb (despite Huang Sheng Chi's performance)

Series with a very pronounced comedy tone (let your brain at the door) about an architecture team in a historical context. The Team is made up of 1 architect (ML), 1 princess (FL, incognito), her servant, an official, 1 manager who does not know how to manage, 1 supervisor, 1 investor in love with ML. .. no one apart from the ML is really competent!!! The Team will become more and more cohesive, around various projects.

+++ Good actors, especially Huang Sheng Chi.
+++ Endearing characters, with well-developed secondary romances.

### Low-budget production
### Unrealistic story, not coherent, full of incongruities. It's a pain in the ass at times!!
### Xu Jia Qi (FL) is pretty, but she doesn't know how to act: frozen face all the time, with fake smile, fake tears, ... Even her kisses are fake ლಠ益ಠ)ლ

=> This series will not be remembered, despite Huang Sheng Chi's performance.
***************************************************************************

La Team va devenir de + en + cohésive, autour de divers projets.

+++ Bons acteurs, particulièrement Huang Sheng Chi.
+++ Personnages attachants, avec romances 2aires bien développées.

### Réalisation low-budget
### Story irréaliste, pas cohérente, pleine d'incongruités. A s'en mordre les doigts par moments !!
### Xu Jia Qi (FL) est jolie, mais elle ne sait pas jouer : visage figé tout le temps, avec fake smile, fake larmes, ... Même ses kisses sont fake ლಠ益ಠ)ლ

=> Ne restera pas dans les mémoires, malgré la performance de Huang Sheng Chi.

Only watch it if you want to get frustated!

PLOT: FL's mother, a super embroiderer, is the victim of a conspiracy hatched by the Head of the Outfits office. Before dying, she entrusts her daughter (an embroidery genius child) to a eunuch who hides her in the palace. 11 years later, the FL has to flee because of the same Villain. She meets several times the ML, a young scholar who wants to help the Crown Prince in his reforms, helped by Lady Wu. This goes against the desire for power of the 19th prince, who conspires.

+++ I like the 2 lead actors, but the FL's charactere is unbearable.
+++ Lady Wu and the ML seem to be the only ones with a brain :(

### Slow production (Speed ​​1.5)
### Above all, the story is poorly written, with nonsense: which Outfit office would have such great power? Could give orders in prison? would freely dispose of a cohort of servants?
### The FL is young, yes, but above all she is TOTALLY stupid!!!

PLOT: La mère de la FL, super brodeuse, est victime d'une conspiration ourdie par la Chef du bureau des Tenues. Avant de mourir, elle confie sa fille (génie de la broderie) à un eunuque qui la cache au palais. 11 ans + tard, la FL doit s'enfuir à cause de la mm Villain. Elle croise à plusieurs reprises le ML, jeune érudit qui veut aider le Prince héritier dans ses réformes, aidé par Dame Wu. Tt cela va à l'encontre du désir de pouvoir du 19e prince, qui conspire.

+++ J'aime bien les 2 leads actors
+++ Dame Wu et le ML semblent les seuls avec un cerveau :(

### Réalis° lente (Speed 1.5)
### Surtout, la story est mal écrite, avec des non-sens : quel bureau des Tenues aurait un si grand pouvoir ? Pourrait donner des ordres en prison ? disposerait librement d'une cohorte de serviteurs ?
### La FL est jeune, soit, mais elle est surtout TOTALEMENT idiote !!!

Pure comedy!! To enjoy it, let your brain at the door (◍´͈ꈊ`͈◍)

Reunion, gradual attraction then love, between 1 spendthrift ML & 1 super thrifty FL, working within the same company.

Love rivals, complicated families, 2 secondary CLs.

+++ I really like the ML, Sam Lin.
+++ The production is dynamic
+++ The OSTs are well suited.

It's a comedy, OK. BUT :
### some characters are clearly caricatures (FL's father, ML2, etc.)
### FL's voice (high-pitched) particularly annoying and I also have trouble with her exaggerated facial expressions / pouts.
### FL's behavior in the last narrative arc (breakup if not reconciliation with the ML's father) is INCONSISTENT and TOXIC !! Her so-called logic ("we don't have the same values") no longer holds at this stage of the relationship, and what the FL is doing is called emotional blackmail. Lamentable ... Same for the avoidance in the last episode (☉_☉)

=> Comedy only to watch for fun and Sam Lin.

Pure comédie !! To enjoy, let your brain at the door (◍´͈ꈊ`͈◍)

Retrouvailles, attraction progressive puis amour entre 1 ML dépensier & 1 FL super économe, travaillant au sein de la mm Sté.
Love rivals, familles compliquées, 2 CL secondaires.

+++ j'aime beaucoup le ML, Sam Lin.
+++ La réalisation est dynamique
+++ Les OST sont bien adaptées.

C'est une comédie, OK. MAIS
### certains personnages sont clairement caricaturaux (père de la FL, ML2, etc.)
### voix de la FL (sur aiguë) particulièrement agaçante et j'ai aussi du mal avec ses mimiques / moues exagérées.
### Le comportement de la FL dans le dernier arc narratif (rupture si pas réconciliation avec le père) est INCOHÉRENT et ABERRANT !! Sa soi-disant logique et celle de de ses parents ("nous n'avons pas les mêmes valeurs") ne tient plus à cette étape de la relation, et ce que fait la FL s'appelle du chantage affectif. Lamentable ... Idem pour l'évitement dans le dernier épisode (☉_☉)

=> Comédie à regarder pour le fun et Sam Lin, uniquement.
