Seru tapi kurang
Awalnya emang seru sih. Konsepnya lumayan fresh dan menarik makanya gue lanjut nonton terus. Actingnya juga bagus. Lucu banget pls chemistry couplenya, apalagi si main couple. Bickering 24/7𤩠dan yang gue suka dari bickering nya ini tuh gak kerasa kyk boongan. Cinematography nya juga oke, make-up oke, color palette juga soft unyu gitu, costume juga pas dan cocok. Ganteng-ganteng pula aktor-aktornya (ini sih yg gue suka lol).Nah tapi tetep ada beberapa kekurangan yg gue notice di drama ini. Misalnya kyk si villain. Menurut gue character villain ini si Cheoyong. Cheoyeon? Choyeong? Ya itu lah ya. Si villain ini gak ada background story nya, tiba-tiba muncul aja gitu. Gak ada in-depth background nya, gak ada motive pula buat jadi villain. Apa dia jahat ke MC gara-gara jealous? Gak dijelasin weh. Cuma diceritain kalo dia mau ngebahayain Geumbok biar Bihyung bisa hidup sendiri tanpa harus bergantung sm masternya (ini yg gue ngerti tp yak cmiiw). Tapi kenapa anjir? Nah itu gak dijelasin dan gak ada background story nya. Menurut gue klo misalnya begini mending gak usah ada aja karakter villain sekalian. Jadi murni fokus ke plot romance nya aja.
Gue juga kurang srek sama cerita second couplenya. Menurut gue kurang in-depth juga dan karena hal ini jadi bikin mereka serasa gak ada chemistry. Gue nonton mereka muka gue flat kyk gini š«„ WKWK. Gak ada perasaan apa-apa samsek.
Yah mungkin segitu aja dari gue. Tapi donāt get me wrong. Drama ini tetep seru untuk ditonton jadi silahkan yang penasaran tonton aja.

Love it!
Let me just list the things that I like and donāt like about this drama.I like:
- The comedy. It was so fun and fresh, and I was cackling the whole time. The first half of the drama is the peak of the fun imo. Second half was more serious than funny. It took a turn and I was kinda caught off guard, but nonetheless I still find it fun to watch.
- The plot. Again, first half really get me going. I love me some transmigration dramas. Can never really go wrong (for me at least).
- Chemistry between characters. Gosh itās the cutest thing ever. I love the ML and FL bickerings in both worlds, and their bickering somehow felt so natural.
- All the characters. Especially the chef. Oh my god dude he is so funny and cringey but at the same time heās soooo sweet to his crush. He sacrificed himself, hurt himself for her, and then accompanied her, defended her AAAAHHHš.
Now, what I donāt like about this drama is:
- The FLās character. Not the acting tho (I think the acting is pretty cute and funny). I lowkey donāt like her character because she do be kinda useless :).
- The ending. Itās not that satisfying, even if the villains get what they deserved, but still. Too much good people died and thatās it? Nahhhš¤.
Thatās all tho. I think in terms of cinematography, color palate, hanfus, hair styles, make-up, they do scream 2021 (meaning, a bit on the older side), so I think itās pretty understandable.

Iām so confused?ā?
This drama felt like a whiplash especially towards the ending and also the ending itself.The whole time we were following the story of the FL, how she kept searching for a way to go back to her original world. But at the end, oh my god, the ending was⦠crazy? I donāt know how to explain this but it was disappointing. Was she able to go back to her world because she finished the story? There is no explanation about that because after everything ended on the ābookā world, she only felt dizzy and then after that she woke up in her own world. What the hell happened? My biggest question is: what happened to ML and FL? Their relationship, to be specific. The ending did not explain that as well and they just brush it off.
I donāt know. I hate the ending, but it is also kinda relatable (to an extent of course). Let me explain. Itās like when you dream about something fun but when you wake up, itās done. No attachments. Kinda like watching a movie or dramas as well.
Do watch this drama if youāre bored or want to watch something light.

Kinda bad
I mean, I kinda expect that it will not be that good because of the number of episodes and the duration for each eps. And I was right.Here are some of the points I want to mention:
1. The plot is like those cheese blocks with many holes in it. Too many unexplained elements and felt super rushed. Then again I get that because thereās only 14 episodes. Itās waaayy shorter than your usual mini dramas.
2. ML and FLās interaction is cute. But again, still feel so rushed. They got married after what only feels like days.
3. The villain is practically non-existent but in a bad way. Donāt get me wrong, there are still villains. But I feel like the villain does not serve any purpose to the story at all. What happened to them at the end? Literally nothing. No conclusion, no the usual satisfying endings for villains, and so on.
3. The ending is so rushed and just weird. I mean itās the typical ending that you would see in transmigration dramas, but this one feels⦠I donāt know. Feels kinda empty, perhaps? The FL just woke up like nothing happens and live on with her life. But if I think about it more, I guess that ending does make sense. You woke up from a crazy dream and what do you do about it? Nothing, right?
So overall, Iām giving this drama a low score. If you have nothing to do, I guess give it a try?

Um.. What did I just watched?
I just finished watching the drama and I am left with shock. The ending was super abrupt, I thought I miscounted the number of episodes but no. Maybe this drama was discontinued? Because on the last episode, the characters were about to jump into another story plot.Next, the acting. I may be wrong, but most of the charactersā acting is a bit flat, which is kinda disappointing. The story also felt VERY rushed, but oh well I get it. Each episode is only about 2 minutes long and thereās only 25 episodes total.
The only likeable element for me is the FL. I think her acting is the best and her character is the cutest. The FL and MLās chemistry is also not that bad, so itās pretty enjoyable only in these moments.

Cute and funny
Everything about this drama is super fun. The characters, the storyline, the comedy elements, the editing, and so on. It was super funny and interesting, which made me keep watching. My favorite scene is where the underling of the villain is fighting with yueying, and instead of showing the fight scenes the underling tells you that because they donāt have a stuntmen, he will tell you what happened verbally. I cracked laughing. I really REALLY love the slapstick comedy on this drama.The only problem I have is the length of the drama. Itās too short :(. I think if itās slightly longer, they couldāve make everything more in depth.

Not bad
I love the characters on this one, especially the FL and ML. The FL is money-driven and I weirdly love that. She is smart, not just her medicine skills but also her business skills and her building skills. This girl do everything at this point and I love that from her. The ML is an odd and funny person which makes their chemistry really good. I looveee the trope šÆšÆHowever, the drama do felt rushed especially towards the ending. I think there are some plots that remain unexplained so it was kinda confusing. There are also scenes that I think was deleted halfway? It felt like I accidentally skipped an episode but I wasnāt. The villain is⦠typical. Nothing new.
So⦠yeah. Overall, the drama is pretty good. I think if youāre trying to find a simple drama, go ahead and try this one.

It was fun!
First half of the drama was soooo fun. I smile and giggle like an idiot, shrieking happily at 1 AM in the morning, kicking my feet, and super focused on the story. The plot is interesting and pretty refreshing. I love the whole āneed-to-feed-a-dangerous-cold-guy-something-that-he-doesnāt-want-to-drinkā thing. aaaa itās so cute. And, oh my god, the second couple. I cried because of them. Thatās all I have to say about it.Now. I donāt know why, I really donāt like the second half of the drama. I think itās because of the focus change? The focus becomes about the villain and I personally think the villains in this drama is a bit⦠odd. I donāt know. Itās giving ālackingā.
On the second half of the drama is also where I started to realize how useless the FL was to the point that it was exhausting (and annoying) to watch herš . I may be wrong, but I notice that even from the first episode, she hasnāt done anything satisfying. She kept getting in trouble so the ML has to save her EVERYTIME, she lets the villain guy go away (literally whyyy would you do that). I donāt know maybe Iām just being picky and annoying about it. Or maybe I watch too much dramas where the FL is a literal badassš¬.
But aside from that, everything else is great. Sooo Iām giving a high score for this one.

Really good
This drama is really good compared to other mini dramas. It has a solid plot, good writing, not too much plot holes. All the actors and actresses did a great job, the hanfus are cute, cinematography is good too.I was a bit disappointed with the wheelchair element tho. I thought they were gonna do more scenes with it involved, for example more romance scenes involving the wheelchair (maybe I watch too much shorts dramas haha). But thatās okay. The drama is great anyways.

Fluffy butā¦
Honestly, this mini drama is what I have been searching for. Just full of romance and all fluff with very little conflicts. But this is exactly why it felt like something was missing. The chemistry. They just bombarded you with romantic scenes after romantic scenes with not much plot behind it, thus making those supposedly fluffy cute scenes become āmehā.Loved the story plot tho. The mind-reading thing was a cute touch. I think with these kinds of plots nothing can go wrong.

Wait I lowkey like this drama
The story line is a bit confusing, yes.Basically, the story is told in 2 timelines; the ancient times and the modern times. They donāt really specify what actually happened here, about why they told the story in 2 different timelines, and what the connection is. Which is why I love this drama because it really makes you wonder. Iāve seen a lot of peopleās theories about what the connection is, and I have my own.
I love the message that theyāre trying to tell at the end. Both timelines ended with sadness, which gave me that punched-in-the-gut feeling of reality ā how theyāre maybe just not fated to be together at the end, even after everything theyāve been through, even after 2 timelines. That sucksš.
Nothing else much to say about the drama because I think everything else is perfect.

Weirdā¦
Okay. This drama is not the best, definitely, and let me tell you why.The comedy is super cheesy. With cheesy falls, cheesy punches, cheesy effects, etc. Though for me this thing is not that bad. Itās still cute and funny. Next, is the FL and MLās love journey. I donāt feel a thingš. Yes, they do have romantic scenes, but it just didnāt register in my head and their romantic scenes looked more like a brother-sister bicker. Their chemistry feels like siblings-chemistry, not romantic love chemistry. However! That do resonate with the ending.
I love the ending. He didnāt take it too seriously and seemed like he cried because the ending is bad, not because he actually fell in love with her. You know, like how we cry after a sad ending type thingā We cry because the ending is sad, but have no attachments with the characters.
So yeah. The acting is good, hanfus are okay, story-wise⦠a bit simple to my liking but itās still acceptable, cinematography is okay.
I give an overall score 5/10. Itās averageā not bad but also not that good.

Really good
I. Love. It.I have been watching mini dramas for the past month because Iām taking a break from those 40-episode-long dramas. The past mini dramas were mostly mid, some even flopped. But this one is āØgoldāØ.
Okay, let me explain. Although yes, itās still far from perfect (thus I am only giving it an overall score of 9/10). For example, the plot. Honestly it is not that bad. But I got really confused with Act 3, when ML explains how heās going to sacrifice himself. And also when he suddenly just pop out of nowhere after being ādeadā for one year. The man just appeared and give us the reason why he is brought back to live just by his own words. No scenes, nothing. I get it tho. The drama will take more time and more budget to do thatš .
Buttt the romance is romancing. And I love that teeheeš. The whole intertwined fate thing which forces ML to always save her, the jealousy, the part where ML suddenly forgets about her. I love every single thing about it.
So yeah. Definitely watch it if you havenāt

Really good at first but flops at the end
The story is pretty similar with my favorite dramaā the double. The FLs both were killed by their husbands, are married, the MLs both use fans, both storys involve revenge, and so on. Thatās why I have really big expectations for this drama.Act 1 was really fun. The love-hate relationship between the two characters are not unique but is still fun to watch. Then it develops into a cute bickering type relationship. Cute. Love it.
Then the beginning of Act 2 is still really fun, but as the story progresses from then on, it became a bit boring? IMO.
Act 3 is just.. disappointing. I was so fricking bored and literally skipped episode 29,30, and 31, and speed through episode 32. It was suddenly hella boring, I think after the point where the grandma died. After that scene, everything kinda fell apart and I just skip skip skip hahaha.
Definitely not worth rewatching. But my overall score is 6 which is still pretty high, and thatās because I appreciate the first half of the drama. Thatās all. Thank you for reading :)

Fun but a bit confusing for me
The story is actually really fun, but there are things that I donāt understand, like what is the virtual world thing? Is it a game? What is it for? Either they have explained it in the beginning and I just didnāt pay attention, or they actually did not state why this virtual world even exist. I also think that there are plot holes, for example the ending. If the guy at the end is him, how is he alive? Donāt they need the transportation ticket to get back? The CGI is meh but honestly I donāt really care.However, there are also a lot of things that I like about this drama. First of all, itās the color grading and cinematography. Itās so beautifully done. I do also appreciate that they wore pretty hanfus and not a tacky or cheap-looking hanfus. And I do love me some good obsessed MLs sooo yeahš.
