I am glad you did not take my comment offensively :)
The number of times I cleared and rewrote to ensure I wouldn't sound rude saying that 😖

I am hoping they reason it as body exchange. That would make more sense than face swapping. (Also remember how that 'doctor' was ringing bells and weird stuff before performing the 'surgery', maybe that could serve as clue to the supernatural calamity of body exchange)
Also the personality change part, yes, she is trying to pretend indeed. Its just the vibe. Umm how should I state this? She just gives a feeling that she is a carefree person. I don't know if it's because JJY is unable to give off that 'gone through a lot vibe' or it's an issue from the directors side. She sounds carefree and playful even when she is alone in her own thoughts

I do understand that you mean no hate or offence at all, but mentioning other names to the page that isn't related to them and comparing them could attract unnecessary hates especially from that particular community of triggered fans. Everyone has their own pace of improvement. Let's not compare them with others.

When the face swap was shown, they should taken care of the hair style details and stuff.
Like even if the face swap took place, did SGZ have so much time in hand, that she even managed to exchange their hairstyle. May be they shouldn't have exchanged the hairstyle too, it would have been easier to understand the face swap thing.
Also based on first impression YCW is a character who has gone through a lot. Hence she always has that serious, mature, very careful and 'a person who has gone through a lot's vibe to her. Her expression gives a feeling that she has heavy burdens in her mind.
But after the face swap, it feels as if a personality has taken a 180 degree turn in the maturity aspect. She has become more on the funnier side.
Considering the fact JJY is playing the role, this character has colours and fun to it, cause she just gives a different kind of personal vibe to characters, but the personalities after face swap don't match.

Good so far! I am loving the dynamics between both the leads. Wow, LXY slays every role he plays. Why did take him so long to get a permanent spot in the male lead. JJY literally being that actress who can easily integrate her personal charm with the character.
But I wish they could have worked on some of the details for easier understanding.

That's not JJY. If you watch the cast list and also based on epilogue (ending song), you will see, that Yang Caiwei ( the scarred woman) is probably gonna die and reincarnate in JJY's character Shangguan Zhi.

This is something I am very curious about. A lots of comments said something about shiqi and nini being together. I haven't watched s1 yet, so I have no idea who nini is, (I am watching it in reverse order).
Was it really participants from two different seasons who got together?
I think shiqi did say about, nini being his ideal type (no idea, if I remember wrong, since I am watching two different seasons simultaneously)
Did they get together after the show?

Is that so, no wonder, I found so many things fishy, like a big part being blurred, I thought it was because they were probably using some brand which wasn't for promotion (like they do in lots of vs, they blur a brand that isn't sponsoring the show)
Also in first ep 3 people sent no message, that was so weird. And lastly shiqi had literally no presence in the show (not even a voice recording). I thought it was because he had been to another dating show before, that is why girls did not like him. So I thought it was weird, after all his personality seemed quite good.
Such a pity for the one who interacted with her in the show. He really deserved good screen time. Atleast until ep 5, it seems he did not budge from his first choice.

So at the end, was all the news and bribery stuff revealed or not?
Was her fake identity revealed in the news?

No one told me this existed. I just completed the 6 episode version.
Could a kind passerby please point out some major differences between two versions. Is there anything here that hasn't been shown in 6 ep version?

You are expecting too much. I am never forgetting how bad c-industry is in its English naming!
I am just hoping they don't come up with a lame title like 'love between fairy and devil' (afterall the producer is same) or 'ski into love' which is literally a copy paste of 'skate into love'.
Apparently, they go for these 'simple' titles to make it easier for 'international fans'.
Tho- I as an international fan don't really find any benefits to this uninnovative name changing.

Actually there's another english title that has been circulating for a while called

❛ Eternal night of Star river ❜

Tho I am sure that, the team can't possibly have such a good taste, but still sincerely hoping they could go for this title, cause it's beautiful and has great field of imagination !

No offence to HYX, I am sure, she must have something that got her this role.
Its just, YBY's acting was just too good based on the trailers. And tbh, her acting (w/ angst being a brownie points) was the reason I got this into my PTW list.
What a pity we can't see her. She did a great job putting up the innocent face as well the vengeful determined face well. Like it was just too good, to the point I rewatched the trailer nth number of times.
Its highly understable how pressurising it is going to be for HYX, considering how high YBY has set the bar. She was really brave to take this role, I hope she can slay in the role!

Li yunrui's acting is shouting through the trailer itself. I am curious about his character!

Loving the pace so far, neither too fast, nor too slow!

She did mention that it wasn't MS's fault. But in somewhere, she kept feeling angry and hated her, even tho she knew that it wasn't her fault.

Ohh, after reading the comments below, I understood how this thing works.
I was so confused with 'date a drama's like what is that supposed mean kinda!
Its actually like getting recommendations type! That's so exciting!
I got a Thai drama, never watched a Thai drama before cause I heard the accent gets you in, just busy thinking if I should try it out!
Thanks for this amazing list! <)

Oh myyy! That's a long list, thanks for typing this whole bunch of recommendations!
Actually I am a newbie in minidramas.
'Maid's revenge' was my first minidrama, but the whole plotline disappointed me so much and few modern dramas too which had extremely silly dumb plotlines, so I literally gave up on minidramas!

A familiar stranger was a drama I watched because of Cheng Lei and Guo jingming's stories(discovered them in My Journey to You)
And finally this drama (TOLAL) pulled me into the minidramas world.
So I really needed that whole bunch of recommendations!

Ohh, I guess, I gotta check them all out, I do like the ml here!!
Thanks!

Can someone please recommend similar mini dramas?
