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.

Nice and sweet story with adorable actors
This is a sweet and funny short show. The storyline is interesting, funny and sweet with a bit of drama. Only thing is those dead-fish kisses. No passion at all, which stands in contrast to the “hot” scenes showing us the physical attraction they have towards each other.Character wise:
FL is a capable young woman with a somewhat fierce personality. Underneath she has a heart of gold for those who are closest to her.
ML is a sweet and gentle man who is taunted by what happened to his mother.
Acting wise this is not exactly top shelf but the actors do a good job and are nice and adorable (for most parts).
Well, if you are into something sweet and low on drama/angst, this is well worth watching.

Short and sweet trans-world story with fierce FL
This is a nice mini-show. The storyline about a woman entering a novel/show she is reading/watching/writing is something we have seen before. But there are things that set this show apart from others, like the lightheartedness and FLs rather brutal personality. Neither the scheming girl or “the villain” are that bad and FL is fierce and totally against the character she ends up playing in the show she enters.Character wise:
Many comments say that FL is too violent (and I tend to agree) but we have to remember that FL knows she is in a fictitious world so she can pretty much do as she feels like doing. So when she is abusive and violent, she knows it’s not real. In the real world she would never do that since there would be serious consequences.
ML is kind of the usual CEO-type although he is not cold.
Acting wise this was mostly fine but I couldn’t help thinking that they should have casted ML and 2ML the other way around. 2ML was much more charismatic and would have played a more credible ML - in my opinion.
Anyway, if you want something short and sweet, this is well worth watching.

Nice bromance mini-show set in historical times
This is a nice bromance mini-show. There is only a hint of BL. The storyline is quite simple and easy to follow.Character wise we have this ML who is assisting the Crown Prince in his attempt to secure his position as the next king. The Crown Prince is a suspicious man so he places one of his brothers next to ML in order to keep him in line. Against the Crown Prince is the Eldest Prince who wants to get the throne for himself.
Acting wise this is rather good even if it is a short format so there isn’t much time to work with the characters.
Well, if you like a nice bromance set in historical times, this is an ok watch.

Time-travel themed mini-show with a twist
This is an ok mini-show. The storyline is a bit different since the time-travel isn’t actually the important part of the story. The recipe (of the wine) and the love story is the core. Sadly the short format makes it feel rushed and the pestering/scheming girl makes it feel a bit cliché.It also lacks consistency like, she is supposed to be from historical time but dresses like a modern woman (bare legs) on her first day at work (for ML). A woman from that time would have covered herself up and never have shown bare legs and arms.
Even if the story is more serious than funny, there are some rather funny bits like the way she “extinguishes” the fire on her tv, LOL.
Character wise there is nothing special about the show. We get the ML who is CEO (cliché) and FL, who is from Tang dynasty. Side characters are the usual male secretary, the parents and of course the pestering/scheming girl.
Acting wise this isn’t that great but it’s not worse than so much else out there.
Anyway, if you want something fast - and don’t mind the short format and the clichés - this is an ok watch.

Business-themed mini-show to chase away your boredom on a rainy day
This is one of these mini-shows you can watch on a rainy day. The storyline isn’t even close to being new and it’s mostly situated around two businesses and the people running them. There is of course also a nice love story. Nothing much to remember this by but entertaining enough if you have time to spare.Character wise: Because of the short format we don’t get much depth in the characters but they are quite stereotypical so we have seen them before. No surprises there.
Acting wise: This is actually rather good actors but the directing of “the villain” is kind of off. Too exaggerated. The chemistry between the leads is lacking but the love story is only second after the business-theme so it’s not that big of a problem. Other than that it’s ok.
So, if you want a nice business-themed mini-show to chase away your boredom on a rainy day, this is an ok watch.

Cliché mini-show that doesn’t require a brain
This is an ok show. There is nothing new or special about it - just the usual clichés. Best thing about it is the ending.I really don’t get these stories where FL acts all tough and sure of her love, then gets scared of a love rival and decides to use 2ML/a childhood friend to try and put a distance between her and ML. It’s childish and immature.
Acting wise this is a little better than mediocre and the chemistry between the leads is only so so.
Well, if you want something that doesn’t require a brain, this is an ok watch.

Ok mini-show with an intersting twist
This is an ok mini-show. The storyline is interesting since an active author is introduced making things extra challenging for the FL.Character wise we have this strong and clever FL who is supposed to complete her mission and set things back on track. ML is also strong and this time there is a twist surrounding his character. It’s actually intriguing. Sadly the short format kind of ruins things a bit because the story lacks explanation and it’s a bit confusing,
Acting wise this is good but not great. Some of the scenes seem created only to showcase the two main actors.
This show by the same leading actors and actress is the one that’s the least interesting.
Anyway, if you have some time to spare and like mini-shows, this is an ok watch.

Funny and interesting mini-show that will get you hooked...
This is such an enjoyable mini-show. The storyline about a supposedly bandit leader taking over the position of Magistrate is brilliant. The storyline is funny and exciting at the same time since it’s lighthearted.Character wisee this show has lots of funny and interesting characters. I especially love FL who is not a damsel in distress. She is clever and able to fight for herself. ML on the other hand, LOL….
Acting wise this is a better quality than most mini-shows.
So, if you love a romantic comedy with an interesting storyline - and a few twists and turns - this is well worth watching.

Funny and exciting mini-show
This is a funny but also exciting mini-show. The storyline about a Nine-tailed-Fox and a warlock hunting foxes is very good. There is also an unlikely bromance that is actually nice to follow. The pace of the story and the coherence is great for a mini-show that might otherwise have plot holes (as so many mini-shows does).Acting wise: They may not be top-actors but they do a good job.
Since it’s so short the characters and story in general lacks depth and development but that doesn't mean that it’s not entertaining.
The graphical side to the story (like spells and shields) is very good but the sound is underdeveloped and let down the show.
Anyway, if you like something fantasy/magical, this is actually worth watching.
