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.

Problematic mini-show with abusive content
This is a problematic mini-show. The storyline is abusive and there is sexual harassment in the beginning. I know that in many countries it’s technically not considered sexual harassment (rape) if it happens in a legal marriage - as in this show where FL loves ML. But that doesn’t make it ok. Seeing past the obvious problem this is a story about misunderstandings, manipulations, greed and love. Sometimes we have to lose somebody before we get to know their importance.Character wise we have a FL who has been in love with ML since they met in school (around 11 years when the story starts). Then we have this ML who is a CEO and a rough man. Thinking he was tricked by FL to marry her instead of her sister (whom he thinks saved him during an earthquake) he treats FL as an enemy. Besides that we have this 2FL (FLs sister) who is straight out a bitch.
Acting wise: This is not top shelf or anywhere near that, but it’s not bad either.
So, if you like these kinds of stories - and can get past the abusive part - this is an ok watch.

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.

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.

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 transmigration, costume production
This is a nice transmigration, costume production with an interesting storyline. The summary should rather say that she has to mess with 5 men in order to obtain their beads, not marry. And she never becomes a female version of “Wei Xiao Bao”. I guess the one who wrote the summary didn't actually watch the production - or had some other glasses on than me.Acting wise this is difficult to rate. I know it’s set in the comical universe, but I did find FL too excessive in her speaking - or rather yelling to a point where my ears were bleeding, LOL, and body language. Not that I didn’t like her character because I did - it actually had a depth that is sometimes missing in short/comical productions. It was just too peppy for me.
I found that the “Moneymaking”-arc was too extensive and the “Bead”-arc underdeveloped (and that is what it should have been mostly about). The “Power struggle”-arc was good.
Well, if you need something funny, not angsty and with an interesting storyline, this is worth watching.

Great transmigration costume production
This is a great transmigration costume production with great actors and a very interesting storyline.It has a “Unchained Love”-vibe about it. Perhaps that is why I enjoyed it so much. So, don’t miss out on this one.
Summary should read something like this:
Song Zhao Rong transmigrates into the body of the eldest Princess. She is one day “asked” by the Queen to marry a Eunuch, Xiao Yu, in order to maintain the power of the throne. The Eunuch, a Governor, has the reputation of being cruel and vicious with numerous women on his conscience.
Not able to escape the marriage, she enters the bridal chamber and awaits meeting her new husband. When he finally arrives, she realizes that he forcefully married her because of an incident as children where the body’s original owner offended him by saying that he was neither male nor female and that she hated him for that. Thus creating a grudge. His fierceness scares FL and has her fearing for her life.
When she later meets the Queen again, she finds out the real reason behind her forcing FL to marry the Eunuch - to kill him. Soon, Song Zhao Rong is caught between a demanding Queen and a husband that scares the living daylight out of her.
But this Eunuch seems to come with a whole set of secrets and might not be the kind of person she thinks. Soon, the two of them are entangled and involved in a fierce power struggle and a big conspiracy.

Great detective story with lots of eye candy
I admit, this is one of the productions with the most good-looking cast I’ve ever seen. Even the supporting actors/actresses were pure eye-candy (which is pretty much the premise of the story). But this is also a great detective story. Even if I guessed “the villain” and his identity almost right away, the storyline and unraveling of the case(s) was interesting. The twists and turns were nicely executed and kept me a bit confused as to exactly why and how - that’s always a sign of a good story. And even the romance between the main leads was nice to watch with a natural flow to it.Character wise, I liked that this FL was smart but not overly smart and her martial arts was really good but she wasn’t invincible nor was she fearless. A character that wasn't one-dimensional. I found ML to suit the job, since he had to be highly intelligent, calm and fearless. He had a strong presence.
Acting wise this was great and the chemistry between the main leads was good, not sizzling but suitable for their respective characters.
So, if you like an intriguing and romantic detective-story, this is definitely well worth watching.

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”.

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.

Nice fantasy mini-show
This is a nice fantasy mini-show. The storyline might not be all new and refreshing, but it is interesting.Character wise we have this little plant that has recently taken human form (FL). She is kind and naive. ML is a strong and powerful immortal that is somehow connected to FL but also possessed by something evil that takes over under certain circumstances. FL seems to be able to subdue the evil in ML.
Acting wise this is good. There isn’t much time for the actors to shine given the short format but the actors do a good job.
So, if you like a nice fantasy mini-show, this is a nice watch.

Kind of odd mini-show but surprisingly entertaining
This is a kind of odd mini-show but surprisingly entertaining. The storyline of a girl with blood that can cure all diseases is utter nonsense but the premise of this story. You just have to buy that like you do in sci fi and magical themed shows.I especially love the ending since there is a major twist.
Character wise we have a strong and rich ML who has a strange disease and a FL who has the blood to potentially cure him. When they fall in love it complicates matters.
Acting wise this is perhaps not top shelf but it’s good enough. The chemistry between the leads is great.
So, if you can buy into the story, it is actually worth watching.

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.
