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.

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.

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”.

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.

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.

investigative version of the “Modern day Doctor transmigrates into ancient times”-story
This is a great, lighthearted, investigative version of the “Modern day Doctor transmigrates into ancient times”-story.This version has an aspiring coroner as the transmigrated person so the storyline is mostly about crime-solving.
I loved this peppy/clever/carefree FL and powerful/calm/nice ML. Although focus is on the case, there is actually room for romance (good chemistry).
This is definitely well worth watching but beware the ending.

Great “Harem fight”-production with great twist
This is a great “Harem fight”-production with really good actors and an interesting storyline that contains a great twist in the end.I loved this strong/adamant/fierce FL but I can’t say I even remotely liked the weak/manipulative/cruel ML.
Normally I shun away from Harem fights, but this one I liked - both the production and the ending. Definitely well worth the 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.

Don’t miss out on this time-loop gem
This is a great time-loop costume production with great actors and a brilliant and mesmerizing storyline. I normally hate stories with time-loops because they get too repetitive for me, but this one doesn’t. Each timeline has its own story with only the basic story being the same. It’s kind of a crime-solving story with a sweet romance.Character wise:
FL is a sweet and kind woman who ends up in a time-loop involving her and ML’s marriage.
ML is a clever and nice but reluctant man who doesn’t want to be a part of the power struggle for the throne.
Acting wise this is great and the chemistry between the leads is very good.
So, if you love a great time-loop/time-travel story - with twists and turns - this is a “Must Watch”.

Different love story with a rebirth-vibe
This is a story of a woman caught in a circle of hatred and revenge. The storyline is complicated as are the characters.Character wise:
FL is a woman who is in love with ML, who doesn’t love her. She insists on marrying him anyway.
2ML is a fierce and vicious man who loves only himself.
2FL is originally FL’s maid and best friend but also falls in love with ML, so she betrays FL.
ML is a friend of FL who loves her wholeheartedly. He is a doctor. He supports her and helps her whenever she needs it.
Acting wise this is pretty good and the actors do a good job within the limited timeframe.
So, if you like a different love story with a rebirth-vibe, this might be for you.

Sweet and funny transmigration story
This is a small gem. The storyline of a hand-illustrator entering the novel she is about to work on, is great. It’s funny, sweet and interesting. The ending is a bit of a letdown, but I chose to see it as a potential open ending towards a second season.Character wise:
FL is a modern day hand-illustrator who is sweet and righteous.
ML is a conflicted and skilled martial artist who is under pressure to become a painter.
Acting wise this is really good and the actors do a good job within the limited timeframe.
So, if you love a sweet and funny romantic comedy - and don’t mind the somewhat open ending - this is definitely well worth watching.
