My Page in the 90s is one of those C-dramas that sneaks up on you and suddenly becomes your comfort watch.

The story follows a modern-day live streamer who gets transported into the world of a novel she constantly criticized. But this isn’t just a random isekai situation she’s trapped in a game-like system where she’s given quests, earns rewards, and is told her ultimate mission: win over the male lead if she wants to leave. It sounds chaotic… and it is in the best way possible.

What truly makes this drama shine is its comedy. I haven’t laughed this much at a C-drama in a long time. Every character has impeccable comic timing, and the humor actually landsinstead of feeling forced or cringe. It’s witty, self-aware, and genuinely fun.

Then there’s the 90s setting, which I absolutely adore. The pagers. The landline phones. The maps instead of GPS. Dating rumors in magazines. Vintage CEO suits and ties. Bold polka dots and loud colors. The hairstyles. The entire aesthetic is nostalgic, cozy, and ridiculously charming. I’m completely absorbed in this world.

Lin huan er, the female lead, is a standout. She’s smart, witty, chaotic, and genuinely funny but not a pushover. I love how she uses her modern-day mindset to navigate this old-school world. What really impressed me is how her approach to “winning over the male lead” evolves: she goes from impulsive and reckless to strategic and thoughtful. That growth makes her feel mature and layered rather than exhausting or one-note.

Gao Haiming, the male lead, is everything I didn’t know I needed from a CEO character. Yes, he’s dashing. Yes, the vintage suits, ties, and hairstyles are doing things for me. But more importantly, he’s calculating, intelligent, driven, and emotionally guarded with actual depth and baggage. And for once… he really *works*. Like, he actually goes to his office and does his job. Chen Xingxu is genuinely bringing back the charm of CEO leads.

And their chemistry? Perfect.
They have this “you use me, I use you, and we both know it” dynamic that’s so refreshing. There’s mutual awareness, tension, and unspoken rules. They don’t cross emotional lines too early, and that slow, strategic dance between them is exactly my kind of romance...their interactions made me giddy and thats how I know iam sold on chemistry...loved every minute of these two.

My Page in the 90s has been a delightful watch simple to follow, genuinely funny, retro, cute, and full of charm. It doesn’t try too hard to be deep or dramatic, and that’s exactly why it works. It knows what it is and fully commits to being an entertaining, feel-good rom-com with a clever twist.

If you’re looking for something light, nostalgic, and ridiculously fun with great chemistry and lovable leads… this one is 100% worth your time.

Conclusively;


"Sometimes, a drama doesn't need to be grand; it just needs to be simple yet entertaining, and this show is proof of that. My rewatch value for this is incredibly high, and I know I'll definitely watch it again. The chemistry between the leads was a major highlight, making me giddy throughout. And the comic timing of the various characters? Chef's kiss! The 90s setting added a wonderful layer of nostalgia. Give this show a chance; it will sneak up on you when you least expect it.
