Brilliant short show with lots of twist and turns
This is a brilliant short show. The storyline with an actress that ends up in the script she plays a part in is not new but what happens in this show is both different, interesting and exciting. Even if it is a romantic comedy/drama there really isn’t much romance but that doesn’t mean that love isn’t the fuel of the story.Character wise this has a clever and mentally strong FL. I personally love that.
It also has multiple males circling around FL with the wrong (according to the script) male as the primary ML. He is supposed to be a villain but because of FLs interference he becomes the ML and the whole story starts to spin out of control making it necessary for FL to try and correct some of the things and get rid of the bad people.
Acting wise this is high quality in most parts.
I know some comments say that the show jumps a lot and scenes to connect the red line are missing, but I watched a version that was edited into one full “movie” and I didn’t feel the story being neither segmented nor rushed. If there is a season 2 at some point, I am definitely going to watch that too (there is an open ending).
So, if you like a short romantic comedy/drama with lots of twists and turns - and don’t mind the shortened format - this is definitely well worth watching.

Great transmigration costume production
This is a great transmigration costume production with great actors and a very interesting storyline.It has a “Unchained Love”-vibe about it. Perhaps that is why I enjoyed it so much. So, don’t miss out on this one.
Summary should read something like this:
Song Zhao Rong transmigrates into the body of the eldest Princess. She is one day “asked” by the Queen to marry a Eunuch, Xiao Yu, in order to maintain the power of the throne. The Eunuch, a Governor, has the reputation of being cruel and vicious with numerous women on his conscience.
Not able to escape the marriage, she enters the bridal chamber and awaits meeting her new husband. When he finally arrives, she realizes that he forcefully married her because of an incident as children where the body’s original owner offended him by saying that he was neither male nor female and that she hated him for that. Thus creating a grudge. His fierceness scares FL and has her fearing for her life.
When she later meets the Queen again, she finds out the real reason behind her forcing FL to marry the Eunuch - to kill him. Soon, Song Zhao Rong is caught between a demanding Queen and a husband that scares the living daylight out of her.
But this Eunuch seems to come with a whole set of secrets and might not be the kind of person she thinks. Soon, the two of them are entangled and involved in a fierce power struggle and a big conspiracy.

One of those shows you won’t remember
This is an odd mini-show. The storyline is quite simple. A modern day woman travels back in historical time after being in a coma because of a falling turtle (yes a turtle). While being in a coma she experiences the life of an empress/queen.Acting wise this is not a high quality show. The FL is exaggerated in terms of facial expressions (pouting, laughing and so on) and sometimes her reactions to money/jewelry and when eating (which she does all the time). This might be a directing thing, I don’t know.
One thing that really annoys me is all the eating and cooking all the time. It gets boring after a short while.
The subtitles on YouTube are close to crap but at least I got most of what was going on.
So, if you like mini-shows and don’t mind the food-theme, this is an ok watch - but nothing more.

Sweet and enjoyable mini-show
This is a sweet and enjoyable mini-show. The storyline is simple but funny and rather entertaining.Character wise:
Due to the short format, there is only a limited amount of character depth and development but the script doesn’t need that. FL is a modern woman who ends up in historical times. She is strong, independent and resourceful. ML is cunning and very charming. For some reason he is able to hear FLs thoughts which gives him an advantage in dealing with a FL who wants a divorce.
Acting wise this is actually pretty good - taken into account the lightheartedness and comical theme. There are some characters that are exaggerated/cringe but not to an extent that ruins the show.
So, if you love a good, romantic and funny mini-show, this is well worth watching.

Great Premonition, costume production
This is a great but somewhat peculiar Premonition, costume production with good actors and a storyline that differs from most.I admit that I found it to be somewhat confusing at first because the “premonitions”/dreams came without a warning, and changed from the original one.
I liked this kind/protective FL and strong/intense ML. The chemistry was good.
I enjoyed this one.

Wonderful and different costume production
This is really a wonderful costume production, It has it all, except for the usual tropes (no forced marriage, no forced divorse, no annoying 2FL/2ML and no major misunderstandings).It's funny, exciting and romantic. Even the love story isn’t the usual kind, but a warm and touching story of two very different people thrown together by destiny.
I liked this strong and clever FL and calm, collected and scheming ML.
Acting wise and in terms of chemistry this was very good.
So, if you are in need of a mostly lighthearted, funny, romantic and different short production, this is definitely well worth watching.

Good revenge-plot short show
This is a good revenge-plot short show. The storyline of a woman who gets a second chance after being murdered by her fiancé isn’t exactly new but it is interesting and exciting. Even if it is a short show, it doesn't feel rushed and there are not many plot holes or jumps in the story - like we see in many similar productions.Character wise:
FL is a sweet and a little naive actress who changes into a strong and determined woman after experiencing her own murder and gets a chance to take revenge on those responsible.
ML is a cold and calculating man who thinks he has an easy “meal-ticket” in the original weak FL.
Acting wise this is pretty good and the actors do a good job within the limited timeframe.
So, if you love a good revenge-plot story, this is well worth watching.

Good season 2 that doesn't take itself too seriously
This is a sweet and enjoyable mini-show - and a second season that is just as good as the first season. The storyline based on amnesia and a lot of distrust and misunderstandings is interesting even if it is a bit cliché. Normally I skip shows with the amnesia-tag because I dislike that kind of stories. Since I watched season 1 and know that the show doesn’t take itself too seriously, I decided to watch it anyway. I’m glad I did because it is both fun and interesting without any fillers (one of the things I love most about these mini-shows). I did miss the second child we were “promised” at the end of season 1 but I can live with that, LOL.So, if you want something that is fast, funny, romantic and a bit dramatic - without being too serious - this is definitely worth watching.

Wonderful and kind of hot mini-show with a nice revenge plot
This is a wonderful mini-show. The storyline might not be new but the show is really entertaining.Character wise we have this nice and capable FL who runs into this strong and powerful ML. Not knowing their previous connection FL is drawn into the MLs net when she is in need of help to avenge her unfaithful boyfriend and his mistress.
Acting wise this is actually very good with little or no cringe acting. The chemistry between the couple is way better than most mini-shows. Often this is a bit lacking due to the short format - but not in this, LOL.
Anyway, if you love a sweet (and kind of hot) romantic mini-show - with a nice revenge plot - this is well worth watching.

Interesting and sweet mini-show that will make you laugh
This is such a funny mini-show. I love these stories where someone goes into a novel/comic book/manga and has to complete missions to get back home. I enjoy those with happy endings most and this fits me well - even if I feel that it’s a bit too fast paced and there are jumps in the story that’s a bit confusing. Not enough to ruin the show though.Character wise: FL trying to be a spy is hilarious - absolutely no talent whatsoever, LOL. Instead she is clever and very cute. ML is really badass - rough but with a warm heart. The interactions between these characters are funny and sweet.
Acting wise: The main actors are really good and the chemistry is great.
Well, if you like a fast paced, interesting and funny mini-show - with a sweet love story at center - this is definitely well worth watching.

From fun to excitment - great season 2
This is a wonderful mini-show. Where season 1 was funny, season 2 is exciting. The storyline is more complicated and we see more of the characters. I was highly entertained.Acting wise the cast is good and the fight scenes are great. I love a strong FL and that is what we get here.
The only thing is that this is so short that a part of the story feels a bit rushed. It doesn’t ruin the show but leaves a bit of plot holes every now and then.
Anyway, if you like a fast paced romantic comedy with entertaining twists and turns, this is well worth watching.

Brilliant rebirth/revenge-plot costume production
This is a brilliant rebirth/revenge-plot costume production with great actors and a fascinating storyline.The story is well woven and kept me glued to the screen.
I loved this strong/capable/kind FL and powerful/supportive/nice ML.
The chemistry was off the roof and no one was afraid of a little skinship.
I loved how the ending took me by surprise. Great twist.

Sugar-overload
OMG this is sugar-overload. The storyline is quite simple but we get a lot of romance, passion and sweetness. I had a lot of laughs watching this since there are a lot of funny scenes. Even if it is a mini-show, it doesn’t feel rushed but perhaps a bit abrupt in terms of editing. Nothing that ruins the show, though.Character wise:
Both FL and ML are sweet and caring people that fall victim to a controlling mother and miss out on a lot of time together.
Acting wise this is great. I have seen a couple of shows with ML and he is quite talented. It would be nice to see him in something more up-scaled (and longer). FL is also quite talented and natural in her acting. Together they have sizzling chemistry which is very important especially in mini-shows where the love story has a limited timeframe.
I would like to point out that the kid actor is a great contributor to this show and adds another dimension to the story.
So, if you love a romantic and funny mini-show - with the sweetest kid actor - this is definitely well worth watching

Very sweet and interesting mini-show
This is a very good mini-show. The storyline is interesting and romantic. The short format does make it feel a bit rushed at times and leaves us with shallow characters but overall it’s good.Character wise we have a strong FL who is a mortician in modern day. When she travels back in ancient times she has to rely on herself to survive. We have a ML who initially meets FL in an assassination attempt. FL cunningly tricks him into protecting her instead - and their love story begins.
Acting wise this is not top shelf. There are some decent actors but there are also some who would benefit from attending some acting classes. Not that it ruins the show but it goes to prove that this is a low-budget production. Which is actually a shame since the story is quite interesting and even a bit exciting.
So, if you love a good mini-show - with an interesting storyline - this is definitely well worth watching.

What a mess......weirdest thing I've seen in a long time
This is a weird mini-show. Even if the storyline sometimes makes sense, suddenly it doesn’t. Especially the beginning was all over the place and nothing seemed coherent. FL being married off even if she is supposed to be married to ML (who is who?) and then a battle between two families (over money/possessions?) and then there are two brothers (family feud between legitimate and illegitimate sons?) - and what’s with the snakes? What a mess. For once it wasn’t the subtitles making it confusing but all the story-jumps and things unexplained.The acting was ok but not great and the editing could definitely have been better. Best thing about this was the special effects.
So, if you like something weird, then go ahead and watch. If not, save yourself some time and go watch something good.
