Ok mini-show with a diffent storyline than most mini-shows

This is an ok mini-show. The storyline is quite simple but different from a lot of other mini-shows out there. The editing could have been better but that’s to be expected.
Character wise:
FL is a sweet and kind young woman who is supposed to marry the Water God.
ML is the Water God and he is gentle and loving. Marrying a human woman is his destiny as well as hers.
Acting wise this is not exactly top shelf but the actors are sweet and try their best within the limited timeframe.
Well, since it is so short - and the main characters sweet and adorable - this is an ok watch.

A nice revenge-ish plot mini-show

This is actually a nice revenge-ish plot mini-show. Even if the revenge-part is easy to overlook, the story is interesting and rather entertaining.
Character wise:
FL is the sole survivor of her family and she is out for revenge on the man who caused her parents death.
ML is the cold and fierce son of that man.
Acting wise this is not exactly top notch but it isn’t bad either. The acting is a bit exaggerated to portray a cruel and heartless gangster-like family.
Well, if you like a story of revenge and love, this is actually quite entertaining and a quick watch.

Short and sweet trans-world story with fierce FL

This is a nice mini-show. The storyline about a woman entering a novel/show she is reading/watching/writing is something we have seen before. But there are things that set this show apart from others, like the lightheartedness and FLs rather brutal personality. Neither the scheming girl or “the villain” are that bad and FL is fierce and totally against the character she ends up playing in the show she enters.
Character wise:
Many comments say that FL is too violent (and I tend to agree) but we have to remember that FL knows she is in a fictitious world so she can pretty much do as she feels like doing. So when she is abusive and violent, she knows it’s not real. In the real world she would never do that since there would be serious consequences.
ML is kind of the usual CEO-type although he is not cold.
Acting wise this was mostly fine but I couldn’t help thinking that they should have casted ML and 2ML the other way around. 2ML was much more charismatic and would have played a more credible ML - in my opinion.
Anyway, if you want something short and sweet, this is well worth watching.

Ok mini-show for a rainy day

This is an ok mini-show. The storyline is interesting enough and the fight scenes are actually surprisingly good for this type of mini-shows. Only problem is that it feels rushed and rather low-budget, like odd editing and why put “Next episode” at the end of each episode when you have episodes that short?
The best thing about the show, besides the fight scenes, is the twins. They are quite resourceful and cunning for their age. They could have had a bigger part in the story for it to be more entertaining.
Acting wise this is - except for the two female leads - mediocre. It’s not bad, but it does fit into the low-budget frame.
So, if you have time to spare and want something fast and not too complicated, this is an ok watch.

More silly than funny game-themed mini-show

This is a not so funny mini-show. The storyline of a young man logging into a game sounded interesting. In the game he gets missions and rewards. That part worked fine even if the text on-screen wasn’t translated in the version I saw. The missions themselves are sometimes interesting but they somehow got boring and I ended up skipping just to finish. It does get more interesting towards the end but not enough to salvage the show for me at least.
I guess the cast had fun shooting the show, but only a fraction of the fun actually comes across the screen since it gets more silly than funny. What must have been a funny script is ruined by exaggerated acting, silly characters and way too rushed format.
Well, if you like these short shows you might find this a little entertaining, but my advice is to find something better.

A small hidden body-swap gem

This is one of these small hidden gems I sometimes stumble upon. The storyline might not be unique or new, but the execution of the story is great. It is kept lighthearted and funny.
Character wise we get this Emperor that is somewhat cold and indifferent towards his Empress who is a bit of a troublemaker especially in regards to the managing of the harem where the Emperor's favorite concubine rules. When the Emperor and Empress switch bodies they have to rely on each other to get through their everyday life and the Court affairs.
Acting wise this is pretty good. It takes some skill to portray (believably) a character of the opposite gender and the main actors possess that. There is also development of the main characters which is good, given the limited timeframe.
So, if you love a good body-swap comedy, with lots of funny moments, this is definitely well worth watching.

Nice "second chance" mini-show with a strong love story

This is a really nice mini-show. The storyline might not be new and refreshing since a lot of shows are similar to this, but it is highly entertaining. There are a lot of the usual tropes but they are handled in an interesting and good way.
Character wise:
FL is a strong and independent woman - at least after she gets a second chance to live her life. The thing I love most about her is that she doesn’t become weak and vulnerable like so many FLs do when they fall in love. Her love and trust in ML is unwavering.
ML is a warm and dedicated man. They describe him as possessive, but I see him more as decisive in his actions and love towards FL. He is not the usual cold CEO that FL has to thaw.
Acting wise this is actually pretty good with a few exceptions that doesn’t ruin the show in any way.
Well, if you love a fast paced mini-show - with a lot of the normal tropes that’s handled differently than most shows - this is a nice watch.

Lots of kisses and an interesting twist

This is a sweet mini-show. The storyline revolving around a blind perfumer (ML) and a thief (FL) is kind of new and refreshing. The thief is somehow able to make the perfumer see for a short while if she wears a certain perfume and kisses him, LOL. I think this is the show with the most kisses in the shortest amount of time I have ever seen.
Character wise there isn’t much depth due to the short format but that doesn’t mean that they are not likable. FL is a badass and not one you can shove around as one pleases - not even MLs father.
Acting wise this isn’t bad but it’s not great either. They do a decent job in the limited amount of time they have.
Well, if you like an interesting mini-show with a twist, this is actually worth watching.

Great gaming movie with a sweet love story

This is such an enjoyable movie. The storyline is interesting and romantic.
Character wise:
Both ML (Crown Prince) and 2ML (Prince NIng) are fierce and cunning characters. FL (Crown Princes) is a modern woman who accidentally logs into the VR game “Metaverse Romance” as another player.
Unable to logout she must find her own way to survive until the bug is fixed - setting in motion a string of events and unlocking a hidden mission.
Acting wise this is great, I have seen most of the main cast in other productions and they are rather skilled.
So, if you love a game-themed movie with both excitement and romance, this is definitely well worth watching.

How to redeem yourself after being a jerk

This is a way better season than season 1. The storyline here is that ML who was very abusive toward FL realizes that all he thought back then was only a scheme by mainly 2FL. Sadly it’s too late since FL already left and he is unable to find her.
Character wise we see a ML that has clearly learned from his mistakes even if he still has some of his bad behavior left like grabbing and threats. On the bright side he deals with the people behind the original scheming and makes sure they pay the price.
Acting wise there isn’t anything new to say about that. Not good but not bad either.
Only thing that really annoyed me was the sentence in the end “Hoping that all women find their true love”. If I had been through that, ML would never have been my true love - no matter what he did to redeem himself.
Anyway, if you watched season 1, this season will make up for some of the bad things happening in season 1, so this is actually more than ok to watch.

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.
