The World's Little Mad Doctor (2023)

Interesting short time-travel show that doesn't feel rushed

This is a great short show. The storyline is interesting even if the basic premise isn’t explored well enough in my opinion. In that I mean that there aren't enough missions or healing/curing of patients which there should have been since that is why FL travels into this new world/dimension. Not that it ruins the show but it does make it feel like it has some unlocked potential. At least it didn’t feel rushed and the ending was actually pretty good.
Character wise:
FL is a modern day medical student who somehow travels in time/dimension. There, her identity is a princess from an adjacent state. She is medical skilled, resourceful and has a strong personality - unlike many of the women around her. One thing that occurred to me was that FLs bedside manners could use an update, LOL.
ML is a calm and cunning prince that hides a lot of secrets including a strange illness that FL seems to have a beneficial effect on.
Acting wise this was pretty good. The actors did a great job with their characters despite the limited timeframe.
So, if you like a romantic time-travel story - with an interesting storyline - this is definitely well worth watching.

Was so good until….

Another good mini drama. However… THE ENDING!!! come on give me more! Sigh… ONE MINUTE does NOT satisfy my romantic hopes in a drama. Other than the ending it was not half bad. So I marked the story down. Sorry, if you are not going to give me a bit more to satisfy my romantic craving… then your story loses ratings for me. That is not the entire reason why I marked the story down though. I will list them below.

Storyline - was not bad. Only bad part for me was the ending. That said… the FL was supposed to help people (she is supposed to be a doctor in training/school) to get through this time travel in 120 days. I was a bit confused because she helped some people then it is like they dropped that part of the storyline for quiet awhile and then picked it up and then dropped it again. She had this fancy watch that helped her out but then the rest of the drama it is like it all disappeared. So the storyline was not consistent at all. Things jumped around a bit and was a little confusing. Other than those thing I did not think it was half bad.

Acting/Cast - was not bad. They could use some work. I am guessing that most of these mini dramas are new actors/actresses and so some do good while others don’t. I would say that I liked both of the main leads. Sometimes they lacked the proper emotion but all in all I liked them.

Rewatch - I might sometime down the road. If it was not for the poor ending it would be a YES! Unfortunately it is a might.

Despite being cheesy, sloppy and full of cliches, It is entertaining.

Let me be honest with you, This was my first Cdrama ever that I completed.
And well well well I was left speechless after watching this.
But
But
But
But now that I've watched tons of other rom-com-costume cdramas I know that this drama is not really worth the time... .
There are like many other dramas about the time travel plot and transmigration that are veryyy much better in terms of story and acting.
The makeup is awful as someone mentioned "the FL's was so pale, she looked like a corpse. When she put her hand to her face, it was yellow compared to her face."
I can say that there are lots of cute male characters so maybe you can watch this because of them (:
Beautiful men everywhere >.<
The ending was kinda weird. I can't believe they ended it like that.
The best thing about this drama is the OST. It is amazing, one of the best OST's out there.
The OST's meaning really suits the story.

Cute moments, bad ending. Same old time-travelling storyline.

The plot of this time travel drama seems to be stuck in a repetitive cycle, with a predictable storyline and a disappointing ending. However, there are a few positive aspects to the show, such as the dual identities of the male lead and the inclusion of an AI-powered watch and the good-looking male actors. The first part of the drama may have been a bit redundant, but the fact that each episode is only 10 minutes long makes it easy to overlook this issue.

The show takes a dark turn when the female lead is killed off so that she can return to modern times, leaving behind a heartbroken male lead. However, the plot twist that follows is interesting, as the female lead wakes up to find that her beloved's twin resides in the person of her professor.

Although the female lead is not particularly captivating, he is still a better character than the female lead in another time travel drama called "Different Princess". If you're looking for a show to take your mind off things, this might be a good option. While the first two-thirds of the show are entertaining, the last part could be improved.

The OST deserves all the praise! I'm almost certain that it's the same composer as "Love like the Galaxy" - a piece of music that I absolutely loved.

Recitazione maschile meh, trama inconcludente, noioso

Sono 26 episodi che, al netto di opening e ending, ammontano a non più di 5/6 minuti ciascuno.
Arrivata inizio del n. 20 mi arrendo: nel momento in cui non mi interessa sapere come vada a finire (ma ricordo la scena iniziale!) è inutile che rimanga a soffrire anche solo per mezzora di più.
Per carità, i costumi sono carini e le ambientazioni pure, ma la recitazione! Sembra di guardare un cartone animato, è proprio il format che non fa per me. In realtà la FL non è neppure male, ma gli uomini si lasciano guardare e basta.
Certi mini drama hanno un approccio più demenziale, se vogliamo, almeno si ride. Qui han voluto fare una cosa un po'più seria ma non sono stati capaci. La trama perde i pezzi da tutte le parti, le premesse dell'isekai tornano in auge solo quando fa comodo, la protagonista, per essere piombata nel passato, è al corrente di troppe cose senza alcuna spiegazione. Insomma, un terribile pastiche con poca redenzione.
Parto per lidi migliori.
