Great mini-show with unique characters

This is a great mini-show. It’s funny and different since it’s about a Demon instead of “just” a normal man. That challenges FL who is supposed to change the story because the plot would result in the Demon destroying the world. The problem is that her appearance messes up the plot in an unpredictable (and funny) way. I really love those kinds of twists.
I read in the comments that this had a “Love between Fairy and Demon”-vibe and I fully understand that, LOL.
Character wise: FL is clever and cute. ML is scary but also shows feelings when surprised by FLs advances. His reaction to FLs touch while in trance (communicating with his people) made me laugh and feel embarrassed at the same time.
Acting wise this is very good even if the short format makes it feel rushed. I ended up watching the show with reduced speed (0,75). That felt like the right speed.
Since it’s so entertaining but open-ended, I can’t wait to watch season 2.
So, if you love a good mini-show that has different characters than normal, this is definitely well worth watching.

Funny and interesting mini-show that will get you hooked...

This is such an enjoyable mini-show. The storyline about a supposedly bandit leader taking over the position of Magistrate is brilliant. The storyline is funny and exciting at the same time since it’s lighthearted.
Character wisee this show has lots of funny and interesting characters. I especially love FL who is not a damsel in distress. She is clever and able to fight for herself. ML on the other hand, LOL….
Acting wise this is a better quality than most mini-shows.
So, if you love a romantic comedy with an interesting storyline - and a few twists and turns - this is well worth watching.

“You need to be brave in love”

This is a wonderful show. The storyline is romantic, sweet and heartwarming - yet sad and heartbreaking.
It’s a serious case of “You don’t know what you got until it’s too late” - or more precisely “You need to be brave in love”. Sometimes you need a wakeup call in order to man up and move forward - no matter the consequences.
Character wise we have this FL (singer) who has been in love with her friend for 10 years and this ML (director) who has been keeping her at an arm's length due to a promise he once gave his father. While ML is filming a dating-show where FL is paired up with another man, he struggles with his feelings that won’t allow him to let FL go even if she through psychotherapy has given up on her feelings towards him.
Acting wise this is top notch. The actors are great and the chemistry is very good.
So, if you love a mostly lighthearted romantic comedy/drama - with food for thoughts - this is definitely well worth watching.

Lighthearted fluffy romance with a fantasy theme

Warning: Contains a few spoilers.....
This is a wonderful, funny show. The storyline revolving around scents is new and interesting. The love between the main leads becomes epic. It does help that it’s real kisses (lots of them) and not those fishy pecks on the lips, LOL.
One of my favorite characters is actually ML's younger brother, “Yu Ren”. He is so sweet, innocent and full of love. The way he helped his older brother with the unwanted love interest was brilliant. Every time he was in the picture I couldn’t help smiling - OMG, he was so cute. By the way, the BL-vibe is downright hilarious. I honestly couldn't help falling a bit in love with that character.
Character wise I loved that the two brothers had a good relationship - unlike so many dramas these days. I also loved the sacrifice the FLs two assistants (shopkeepers) made to give FL and ML a chance to fight for their love. It was extremely touching.
So, if you love a lighthearted, very sweet and funny romantic comedy - with a touch of drama before a very happy ending - this is a “Must watch”.

Hilarious soul-swapping short show

This one had me switching between slapping my knees and drying off my tears of laughter. It was that funny to start with. Later on it had its serious moments as the story deepend. It was sometimes too fast paced - except for the scene where the Prince rides past FL (ep 1 before soul-swapping), which was in slow-motion, LOL, but luckily it’s possible to slow down the pace of the video. The storyline was interesting and the way the two interact and fall in love with each other while helping the other part in (for ML) discovering the truth and (for FL) achieve a lifelong goal is heartwarming.
Character wise:
FL is a kind but headstrong young woman who’s only wish is to marry the Crown Prince.
ML is one of four outstanding assassins who falls into a conspiracy involving the royal family and the most powerful minister.
2ML is a kind and clever Crown Prince who has his own agenda.
FLs father must be the most supportive I’ve seen so far. He is so sweet and fights for what his daughter wants in life, “If there is anything unhappy in your heart, pour all the bitter water to dad” had my heart bleeding.
Acting wise this is pretty good and the way the two main leads play their roles is very, very well. Only thing is that the actress playing FL is very good in portraying a male but as a woman it was a bit lacking, perhaps due to the directing and the fact that she actually wasn’t that feminine to begin with (the role not the actress).
So, if you love a good soul-swapping romantic comedy, this is a “Must Watch”.

Nice and funny mini-show to pass the time

This is a nice and funny mini-show. The storyline about a woman who enters a comic book isn’t exactly new but it is entertaining. It’s lighthearted and sweet but there is also a comical aspect that is on the brink of silliness, especially in the first half. ML can really shake it, LOL (you’ll know when you see it). Luckily it becomes less silly.
Character wise we have this FL who follows a certain graphic novel on her phone and thinks that the ML in that is a real scumbag. After falling asleep she enters the novel and becomes FL who might or might not be in the possession of a treasure map.
ML is a kind and warm man who is forced to seek out the treasure map - by seducing FL - to save his stronghold from starving.
Acting wise this is not top shelf but it’s not bad either. I think everybody does a decent job within the limited time frame.
So, if you like something fast and lighthearted, this is a nice 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.

Interesting and lighthearted timetravel story

This is such a sweet and wonderful mini-show. The storyline is quite simple. A modern girl has an accident on a film set. She wakes up as a concubine in historical times. The emperor becomes her task towards getting back to the real world. She solves some more or less easy tasks but her mission is to become the empress. That mission gets complicated when other characters get in her way and she starts to fall in love with the emperor.
Acting wise this is actually high quality since the main actors are rather skilled. Nice to see that in one of these mini-shows.
So, if you like a romantic and interesting mini-show, this is well worth watching.

Brilliant and funny in-game/in-novel costume production

This is a brilliant and funny in-game/in-novel costume production with great actors and a very interesting storyline.

I loved these characters (all 4 leads), each with their own strengths and weaknesses - and very different love stories.

The “symbiosis” was a great twist and the story around it was well constructed, even if there were a few times where it was reversed without explanation (mistakes?). I would also wish that the fact that FL is a doctor was used more in the story. Other than that, this was a great watch so don’t miss out on this one.
