Time travel story with a comical touch
The version I watched was so poorly edited that the story didn’t make much sense. It’s attempted to be comical and that actually works. But when scenes are repeated, the chronology is sometimes wrong and the subs aren’t helping, it gets confusing.I liked both FL and ML’s characters - and the different kind of love story they have.
The ending was touching but could have been better if it didn’t feel rushed.

Great lighthearted in-story production
This is a great lighthearted in-story production with good actors (nice chemistry) and a storyline that is unpredictable and interesting.I loved how this progressed at a fitting pace and the love story was heartwarming and fun. The twists and turns were well constructed. I really enjoyed this.
The characters were interesting and had more than one dimension so even if it is rather short, we do get to know the main characters and their challenges.
So, if you like something short, romantic and interesting, this is definitely well worth watching.

A small in-novel gem
This is one of these small gems I am sometimes lucky to stumble upon. It’s a great in-novel costume story with a funny and interesting storyline. The actors are really good and the chemistry between the leads is great - as are the kisses. I truly enjoyed this. So, be sure not to miss out on this one.SYNOPSIS - SPOILER ALERT!!!
FL is reading a novel she has been following for a while. This time the writer announces that it won’t be continued, due to the lack of inspiration, and encourages the reader to make up their own ending to the story. Still angry about wasting her time on the story and sorry about not getting an ending for her favorite female character, she opens an envelope that turns out to contain only a Wonderful Travel Certificate. Still annoyed, she goes to sleep with the certificate lying on her chest.
Next she wakes up in a bed with an unknown man lying beside her. Confronting him and exploring the room, she finally realizes that she has somehow transmigrated into the novel. After sending him off, she tries to get back home by going to sleep. When it doesn’t work, she decides to go to the brothel to stop her Prince Consort (ML) performing there. Something her character in the novel, the Princess, supposedly ordered him to before FL entered the body. Since she is now stuck in this body and world, she wants to try and change the destiny of her character, which is to be killed by the Prince Consort (ML).
Her change in personality and actions stirs up things and soon she is balancing on a knife’s edge, between the Queen Dowager, ML and a mysterious man (2ML) with whom the Princess seems to have a deeper relationship. Piece by piece she has to solve the puzzle of her character, while trying to get on the good side of ML.
Not spoiling too much, this has a happy ending.

Short and sweet mini-show with interesting storyline
This is a nice mini-show. The storyline might start off simple but as in many C-stories, some drama is introduced towards the end. This is no different, but it does make the story more interesting and even a bit exciting.Character wise:
FL is a simple and nice woman who works as a security guard at the compound where ML lives.
ML is a clever but damaged young man who doesn’t want to take over the company.
Acting wise this is good. The actors don’t have much time to shine but I did think the supporting character Mumu was played by a rather skilled actor. I think I’ve seen him in some drama before but can’t remember which one.
Well, if you are into something short and sweet - with a bit of interesting drama - this might be for you.

Short, funny and sweet romantic costume drama
This is a funny and sweet romantic costume drama. The storyline is interesting and even a bit exciting. I loved ML’s brother’s character and the strong FL that never wavered.Character wise:
FL is a sweet and strong woman who is an assassin. She snatches a mission from a colleague but accidentally loses part of it so she misunderstands it as a kill-mission and not a protection-mission as it was meant to be.
ML is the clever and cunning future Lord of the City who has been forced to wear a mask and pretend to be weak since his father’s death. He is also “the mission”.
Acting wise this is good and everybody does a good job within the limited timeframe.
So, if you love a short romantic comedy - with a bit of drama - this is definitely well worth watching.

Sizzling mini-show with interesting storyline

Second season of mini-show with revenge-plot
Season 2 starts a bit abrupt, but I guess the child FL gives birth to in season 1 is killed and FL thinks ML did it. The storyline goes from romance to revenge-plot..ML is even more narrow-minded and suspicious than before, but him seeing what he thinks is FL’s lookalike, awakens his sorrow and longing for his deceased consort.
FL is out to avenge her lost child and decides to try to become the Lord's consort again.
Acting wise this is like season 1 since it’s the same bunch of actors. They are definitely not bad, but there is room for improvement.
Well, if you like something short, this is actually worth watching and the end in this is satisfying.

Very good revenge-plot/crime solving short show
This is a very good revenge-plot/crime solving short show. The storyline is intriguing and contains a lot of twists and turns as the FL tries to unravel what happened 2 years earlier. Frankly, it kept me focused and guessing all the way to the end. I was right in most of my guesses but there were a few things I got wrong or didn’t foresee. Just the way I like it, LOL.Character wise:
FL is a strong and tenacious actress who was framed and targeted multiple times when she returned after a 2 year absence from the entertainment industry. She is adamant to find the truth.
Acting wise this is pretty good and all the actors do a great job within the limited timeframe.
So, if you love the mix of revenge and crime solving, this is a “Must Watch”.

Low budget love story that won't rock you world
This is one of these countless low budget productions that overflow the entertainment market at the moment. Quite frankly, it doesn’t stand out in any way - and not just because of the ridiculous auto-generated english subs.The love story goes from 0 to 100 in a split second but nobody reacts to a proposal like that (ep 17) if they really love the man in front of them.
Acting wise this is mediocre (for the most part) even if ML seems to be somewhat talented. I think I’ve seen him before in these productions (on YouTube) that have no real name.
FL seems ok when acting alone but the scenes with ML feels awkward and lacks any chemistry. It doesn’t help that there is a substantial height difference that makes FL look like a child beneath the towering ML.
Well, if you have some time to spare - and don’t mind the low budget feel - this is an ok watch.

Nice "second chance" mini-show with a strong love story
This is a really nice mini-show. The storyline might not be new and refreshing since a lot of shows are similar to this, but it is highly entertaining. There are a lot of the usual tropes but they are handled in an interesting and good way.Character wise:
FL is a strong and independent woman - at least after she gets a second chance to live her life. The thing I love most about her is that she doesn’t become weak and vulnerable like so many FLs do when they fall in love. Her love and trust in ML is unwavering.
ML is a warm and dedicated man. They describe him as possessive, but I see him more as decisive in his actions and love towards FL. He is not the usual cold CEO that FL has to thaw.
Acting wise this is actually pretty good with a few exceptions that doesn’t ruin the show in any way.
Well, if you love a fast paced mini-show - with a lot of the normal tropes that’s handled differently than most shows - this is a nice watch.

Nice mini-show that keeps you entertained
This is a nice little mini-show. The storyline is actually quite interesting even if the short format makes it feel that there are scenes missing or things are rushed. Not to an extent that ruins the show so it’s still worth watching.Character wise we have this badass woman (FL) who is ordered (by 2ML) to approach ML who is a smart and rough man - and a criminal apparently.
Acting wise this is good and the actors do a pretty decent job with their characters.
So, if you are into something short/fast with a sweet unexpected love story, this is worth watching.

Sweet short show with refreshing storyline
This is such a funny and sweet short show. The storyline is rather refreshing. The basic story of a woman who experiences her first kiss while very, very drunk at an office party is somewhat new. Not knowing who the man is, she encounters 4 different love related stories while trying to figure out what happened that night and ultimately start a relationship with that man. That led to a lot of funny and awkward moments.Character wise we have this relatively young and inexperienced (in love) woman who is a game planner at a big game development company. The 4 men she thinks might be the one that night are her calm and collected boss, her young and naive junior, a calculating actor/singer that wants to be an ambassador of the game she is developing with her team and her sweet and close childhood friend who is also her landlord/roommate. She has to go through a lot before realizing whom she actually loves.
Acting wise this is pretty good and I have actually seen several members of the cast before. Even if it is a short show they are able to give their characters a bit of depth which is better than a lot of other short or mini-shows out there.
So, if you love a funny and romantic short show - with some interesting characters - this is definitely well worth watching.

Surprisingly good mini-show with an refreshing storyline
This is a surprisingly good mini-show. The storyline is kind of refreshing and rather entertaining. Even if it is a mini-show it doesn’t feel rushed and there are no inconsistencies or jumps in the story - only a few things left unexplained.Character wise we have this FL who is stuck in a time-loop trying to avoid a fire that wipes out her puppet-troupe. Then we have ML who is actually the author who has created the book that both of them are in. The two of them have to work together in order to revive the puppet-troupe, investigate who caused the fire and in doing that, make it possible for ML to return to real life.
Acting wise these are some really good and experienced actors even if they are challenged a bit because of the short format. That causes the character to feel somewhat shallow. And in terms of chemistry between the leads, there is room for improvement as one could say. Not that it ruins the show but it affects the overall rating.
Anyway, if you like something fast with a mystery theme, this is actually well worth watching.

Sweet and lighthearted mini-show for a rainy day
This is a nice mini-show. The storyline has nothing new but it’s sweet. Since it’s a mini-show we get these jumps in the story and the coherency is pretty challenged - like their love that goes from 0 to 100 in a split second. It’s not to the point of confusion but still.Acting wise: Even if the story is sweet, they should have found actors that were more comfortable with kissing. The kisses seem awkward and nothing more than pecks on the lips. Often we get these angled “kisses” - and why still so shy when they supposedly have already had sex? Another thing that annoys me is that FL believes some stranger telling her something bad about ML and she doesn’t even ask him about what’s true. Immature.
In terms of chemistry, there isn't much between ML and FL. They are not bad actors but they are not able to fake an interest in each other.
Well, if you like something lighthearted and easy to predict, this is an ok watch.
