Xi Jing Nu Zhu Tao Hua Duo (2022)

Brilliant short show with lots of twist and turns

This is a brilliant short show. The storyline with an actress that ends up in the script she plays a part in is not new but what happens in this show is both different, interesting and exciting. Even if it is a romantic comedy/drama there really isn’t much romance but that doesn’t mean that love isn’t the fuel of the story.
Character wise this has a clever and mentally strong FL. I personally love that.
It also has multiple males circling around FL with the wrong (according to the script) male as the primary ML. He is supposed to be a villain but because of FLs interference he becomes the ML and the whole story starts to spin out of control making it necessary for FL to try and correct some of the things and get rid of the bad people.
Acting wise this is high quality in most parts.
I know some comments say that the show jumps a lot and scenes to connect the red line are missing, but I watched a version that was edited into one full “movie” and I didn’t feel the story being neither segmented nor rushed. If there is a season 2 at some point, I am definitely going to watch that too (there is an open ending).
So, if you like a short romantic comedy/drama with lots of twists and turns - and don’t mind the shortened format - this is definitely well worth watching.

No, Thank You! For A 2nd Season

Disappointed is my word on this drama. It is a short drama and the story could be good. The writer could not make up what plot he wanted to used so he used all of them. There was so much confusion and so many skip in scenes that I wonder if I was coming or going. There is some comedy and the lead female talks a lot to herself about the future and her acting career. We know who the lead female is but Her acting as a drama queen was over rated. I could not understand when the scene was her showing sincerity or plan that she read the script which we barely saw. There is no romance in this drama. The characters have no chemistry. There are so many prince in this drama that you wonder why they are worry of becoming the emperor. Non of them are really related or I should said that we are never told of their relationship. We mostly know about the "Su Family" sisters and a little about the family. To me the writer and director did not help the actors in the their performance. I believe the actors tried their best but I could just bare through with 26 episode because each episode was 10 minutes long. The ending was terrible and give us hope for a second season. They would need to fix the story for me to see another season.
