Second season that's actually better than first season
This is a very nice mini-show and a really good season 2. The storyline builds upon the storyline in season 1 and connects to that seamlessly. Not all season 2 does that.Character wise this show gives us two new versions of the main couple from season 1. FL is on a new assignment and ML is her new target of interest after getting a divorse from her husband who abandoned her 5 years earlier - and has returned with a new woman he wants to marry. Neither ML or FL remembers their love story from season 1 but love isn’t that easily suppressed.
Acting wise this is better than the previous season. The chemistry between the leads is great and they actually have steamy kisses (I can’t stand those pecks on the lips we often get instead of real kisses).
Anyway, if you like a good mini-show with a great love story, this is definitely well worth watching.

Fast mini-show with a good love story
This is a really nice mini-show. Even if it is low-budget and the storyline isn’t much different from a lot of similar shows out there, it is funny, sweet, heart wrenching and entertaining.Character wise I really liked ML since he is the one that develops the most but at the same time suffers the most. FL is clever and resourceful (read…seductive, LOL) and I love that about a FL. I’m not that into weak, dumb and naive FLs, even if they are cute (in the eyes of many men).
Acting wise this is a little more than mediocre. Only a few cringy moments - nothing that ruins the show. The music is good and supports the mood - a thing that isn’t always so in these mini-shows. There is a season 2 and I’m definitely going to watch that.
So, if you like a fast and sweet mini-show that will bring a tear to your eye, this is well worth watching.

Hilarious soul-swapping short show
This one had me switching between slapping my knees and drying off my tears of laughter. It was that funny to start with. Later on it had its serious moments as the story deepend. It was sometimes too fast paced - except for the scene where the Prince rides past FL (ep 1 before soul-swapping), which was in slow-motion, LOL, but luckily it’s possible to slow down the pace of the video. The storyline was interesting and the way the two interact and fall in love with each other while helping the other part in (for ML) discovering the truth and (for FL) achieve a lifelong goal is heartwarming.Character wise:
FL is a kind but headstrong young woman who’s only wish is to marry the Crown Prince.
ML is one of four outstanding assassins who falls into a conspiracy involving the royal family and the most powerful minister.
2ML is a kind and clever Crown Prince who has his own agenda.
FLs father must be the most supportive I’ve seen so far. He is so sweet and fights for what his daughter wants in life, “If there is anything unhappy in your heart, pour all the bitter water to dad” had my heart bleeding.
Acting wise this is pretty good and the way the two main leads play their roles is very, very well. Only thing is that the actress playing FL is very good in portraying a male but as a woman it was a bit lacking, perhaps due to the directing and the fact that she actually wasn’t that feminine to begin with (the role not the actress).
So, if you love a good soul-swapping romantic comedy, this is a “Must Watch”.

Funny and entertaining short show
This is a funny and entertaining short show. The storyline is lighthearted and fun as we see how a female writer gets sucked into her own novel while re-writing the ending her female writer-friend originally wrote. I don’t think I have ever seen any storyline with that twist.Character wise:
FL is a female writer who is tasked to rewrite the ending of a novel because her female friend has writer’s blockage. She is kind and resourceful as she tries to find the way back to reality. In doing so she interacts a lot with ML (who is her husband in the novel) and slowly falls in love with him.
ML is a kind and upright man who cares about the people he is in charge of as Lord of the City. He was always uninterested in his wife until the FL took over her body. The change in personality makes ML fall in love with her.
Acting wise this is very good.
So, if you like a fast paced, romantic comedy - with lots of funny moments - this is definitely well worth watching.

Nice little costume mini-show
This is a nice little costume mini-show. The storyline is quite simple but there are a few twists and turns along the way, making it interesting.Character wise:
FL is a sweet and gentle Princess that is haunted by the death of her grandfather. Her biggest wish is to find out why and who was behind it.
ML is a fierce and strong Regent that hides a secret not many could imagine.
2ML is the vain and insecure Emperor and brother of FL.
Acting wise this isn’t exactly top shelf but the actors do a good job within the limited timeframe.
So, if you like a short and simple costume drama - with a nice love story - this is worth watching.

Nice and funny mini-show to pass the time
This is a nice and funny mini-show. The storyline about a woman who enters a comic book isn’t exactly new but it is entertaining. It’s lighthearted and sweet but there is also a comical aspect that is on the brink of silliness, especially in the first half. ML can really shake it, LOL (you’ll know when you see it). Luckily it becomes less silly.Character wise we have this FL who follows a certain graphic novel on her phone and thinks that the ML in that is a real scumbag. After falling asleep she enters the novel and becomes FL who might or might not be in the possession of a treasure map.
ML is a kind and warm man who is forced to seek out the treasure map - by seducing FL - to save his stronghold from starving.
Acting wise this is not top shelf but it’s not bad either. I think everybody does a decent job within the limited time frame.
So, if you like something fast and lighthearted, this is a nice watch.

What a waste of time......
This is an odd mini-show. There are so many things that are unrealistic, that the show ends up being a waste of time.Spoilers!!!!
One is that FL manages to raise a child for 5 years without ML knowing it is his - and FL doesn’t tell him even if she marries him. Then she suddenly needs 3 mill for an operation for the kid and her love rival cuts her off so he dies. Only one month later she is fine again (as in not grieving) even if she also has a miscarriage with the second child of MLs she is carrying when she loses their first child. And the 2ML moves in and occupies her couch! Don’t get me started with the fact that 2ML somehow becomes a child by carrying FL on his back for a long distance!! By the way he is faking it to get FLs sympathy.
Character wise we get this FL who waits until the very last to tell ML what really happened. A lot of her suffering and both her children could have been saved if she just told the truth from the start. We get this ML who misunderstands FL and treats her like shit to get some kind of revenge. In some ways I understand why he feels the way he does but the way he handles it is immature and abusive. 2FL is a classical gold digger like so many other women that sets their eyes on marrying into a wealthy family.
Acting wise this is definitely not top shelf but it’s not that bad.
Anyway, if you want a “no-brainer” story that has a nice ending, this is ok. Otherwise just find something worth your while.

Crime-solving short show that is actually a hidden gem.
This is actually a hidden gem. The crime-solving storyline is interesting and exciting - somewhat different from most short shows these days. I love how the case gets unraveled and how the investigation brings about some big twists and turns.Character wise: We get this smart but cute FL who is dead set on marrying ML. ML is very clever and an excellent investigator - and definitely not up for marrying anyone else but FL. There are a few other interesting characters that play huge roles in this story like the general, the emperor and the Queen but the short format sets a limit to the number of characters and individual stories.
Acting wise this is a very good show. The actors are rather skilled. Only thing is that the chemistry between the leads isn’t quite there and I was only certain of ML's love for FL after he told her directly that he was serious about her. It’s not uncommon that the chemistry is lacking in short shows but it’s always a shame because it gets the viewer less committed to the characters.
Anyway, if you love a good crime-solving story with a sprinkle of romance, this is well worth watching.

Very hot and different "Uncle"-story
This is a great but very different version of the “My Fiancé Cheated on Me, So I Married His Uncle”-story with great actors and a storyline that can make most people blush.I loved this strong/capable/playful FL and the both powerful/possessive and submissive/passionate ML - and their sizzling chemistry.
I admit, this one had me quite entertained and I consider it a “Must Watch”.

Brilliant “Transmigration / Hidden/Secret Identity”-story
This is a brilliant “Transmigration / Hidden/Secret Identity”-story with good actors and a storyline that is well constructed and highly entertaining. Frankly, this is one of the funniest productions I’ve seen in a long time.Thx to the writers for bringing us something new.
I loved this strong/feisty/flirty/resourceful FL and calm/arrogant/oblivious ML and their quite different love story.
This is definitely a “Must Watch”.

Fast, sweet and romantic mini-show that is worth watching
This is such a sweet and funny mini-show. The storyline isn’t actually new but the show is very entertaining. The short format does have its disadvantages but that shouldn’t keep you from watching this one.Character wise: FL is capable but somewhat unlucky. I love the way she gets stronger when she gets a second chance to live the last year over again - not wanting to repeat her mistakes. She is also very cute, done right this time.
ML is cool on the outside but sensitive and thoughtful.
For once we get a mom who actually supports her son and let him choose whoever he wants to love. That is what I love most about this mini-show.
Acting wise this is not even near top shelf (frankly some of the actors are pretty bad) but the main actors are sufficiently skilled, cute and likable.
So, if you are in the mood for something fast, sweet and romantic, this is definitely well worth watching.

Comedy that puts the light on mental disease
This is a funny and sweet mini-show. The storyline with a girl that’s “allergic” when touching a man and a boy that’s actually split into two quite different personalities is unique.I love that this show puts the light on mental disease which is rare in comedy shows. The open ending was also appropriate since it isn’t easy to cure mental diseases.
Sometimes we can create awareness through comedy and deal with issues that are otherwise tabus. This show is able to do so if it gets more attention.
So, if you want to watch a romantic comedy with food for thought, this is well worth watching.

Somewhat funny “Reincarnation/Rebirth”-story
This is a somewhat funny “Reincarnation/Rebirth”-story with good actors and a storyline that starts off quite interesting but changes into some kind of comedy with a FL who hardly use anything she has learned from her previous lives, so she run around like a headless chicken, or at least without anything resembling a plan.Luckily, it finishes off better with a nice twist. Well, this is a nice watch.

Odd but sweet investigation production
This is an odd but sweet investigation, costume production with really good actors.Sadly, the premise of the story doesn’t really work for me. It’s odd for a human to run around sniffing cat hair and investigating murder. If FL was a cat-fairy or -deity, it might have worked better.
The love story is also odd, going from 0 to 100 in a split second.
Other than that, it’s a nice watch.

Nice, fast paced costume production (read alternative summary)
This is a nice costume production with decent actors and an entertaining and slightly romantic storyline.In the beginning I did have trouble deciding whether to love or slap this childish/peppy FL. Fortunately she grew up.
I loved the calm/supportive ML, but my favorite character was actually this wonderful Emperor. Well, if you like a fast and entertaining story, this is a nice watch.
Summary should rather be something like this:
Sheng Tao Tao is a princess that is unruly, arrogant and reckless. Her father, the Emperor, gives her a marriage to General Mo Li but she refuses to accept. When she once again messes up - unintentionally - at the Emperor’s birthday party, he punishes her by sending her to a province that is down and out. Although he officially puts the marriage on hold, she sends Mo Li with her, partly to secretly investigate a case surrounding a gold mine and partly to see if they would be able to get to know each other better and maybe even cultivate feelings.
On the way all their money is robbed, which sets in motion a string of events as they try to get used to living in this poor place and find that sinister forces are unwilling to let them stay. But this stubborn, money-grubbing and arrogant Princess isn’t prone to giving up without a good fight.
