Nice, fast paced costume production (read alternative summary)

This is a nice costume production with decent actors and an entertaining and slightly romantic storyline.
In the beginning I did have trouble deciding whether to love or slap this childish/peppy FL. Fortunately she grew up.
I loved the calm/supportive ML, but my favorite character was actually this wonderful Emperor. Well, if you like a fast and entertaining story, this is a nice watch.
Summary should rather be something like this:
Sheng Tao Tao is a princess that is unruly, arrogant and reckless. Her father, the Emperor, gives her a marriage to General Mo Li but she refuses to accept. When she once again messes up - unintentionally - at the Emperor’s birthday party, he punishes her by sending her to a province that is down and out. Although he officially puts the marriage on hold, she sends Mo Li with her, partly to secretly investigate a case surrounding a gold mine and partly to see if they would be able to get to know each other better and maybe even cultivate feelings.
On the way all their money is robbed, which sets in motion a string of events as they try to get used to living in this poor place and find that sinister forces are unwilling to let them stay. But this stubborn, money-grubbing and arrogant Princess isn’t prone to giving up without a good fight.

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.

A small in-novel gem

This is one of these small gems I am sometimes lucky to stumble upon. It’s a great in-novel costume story with a funny and interesting storyline. The actors are really good and the chemistry between the leads is great - as are the kisses. I truly enjoyed this. So, be sure not to miss out on this one.

SYNOPSIS - SPOILER ALERT!!!
FL is reading a novel she has been following for a while. This time the writer announces that it won’t be continued, due to the lack of inspiration, and encourages the reader to make up their own ending to the story. Still angry about wasting her time on the story and sorry about not getting an ending for her favorite female character, she opens an envelope that turns out to contain only a Wonderful Travel Certificate. Still annoyed, she goes to sleep with the certificate lying on her chest.
Next she wakes up in a bed with an unknown man lying beside her. Confronting him and exploring the room, she finally realizes that she has somehow transmigrated into the novel. After sending him off, she tries to get back home by going to sleep. When it doesn’t work, she decides to go to the brothel to stop her Prince Consort (ML) performing there. Something her character in the novel, the Princess, supposedly ordered him to before FL entered the body. Since she is now stuck in this body and world, she wants to try and change the destiny of her character, which is to be killed by the Prince Consort (ML).
Her change in personality and actions stirs up things and soon she is balancing on a knife’s edge, between the Queen Dowager, ML and a mysterious man (2ML) with whom the Princess seems to have a deeper relationship. Piece by piece she has to solve the puzzle of her character, while trying to get on the good side of ML.
Not spoiling too much, this has a happy ending.

Nice little short show

Sadly, this must be one of the more boring comedies I’ve seen - at least the middle part. I have seen the cast before, so I know they are good actors, but the comical part is somehow off - or it cannot decide whether to be a comedy or a romance, so it lands in the middle. As a Danish saying goes, it’s neither bird nor fish.
I admit that the last third was pretty good (great twist) so I’m glad I stuck with it and had myself some good laughs every now and then. It also had some nice character developments which is somewhat rare in these short format shows.
Character wise:
FL is a strong but simple (borderline oblivious) woman in search of a certain pill to save her father.
ML is a cunning and calculating thief who wants to rob the place.
Acting wise these are good actors but the directing or storyline lets them down a bit.
Well, if you have some time to burn - and like the cast - this is a nice watch.

Nice short revenge-plot story

This is a nice little revenge-plot story with a fairly simple storyline. The only thing missing is some romance since there is very little - and a couple of kisses would have been nice.
Character wise:
FL is a strong woman thirsty for revenge on the family members who are behind her parents and grandmother's deaths. She accidentally ends up entangled with ML.
ML is a nice and clever man who falls in love with FL, so he makes her quest for revenge his goal too.
Acting wise this is pretty good, but I felt zero chemistry between the leads. Perhaps because the romance-arc was so weak compared to the revenge-arc.
Well, if you like a short story with a strong revenge-plot, this is worth watching.

Short and sweet mini-show with interesting storyline

This is a nice mini-show. The storyline might start off simple but as in many C-stories, some drama is introduced towards the end. This is no different, but it does make the story more interesting and even a bit exciting.
Character wise:
FL is a simple and nice woman who works as a security guard at the compound where ML lives.
ML is a clever but damaged young man who doesn’t want to take over the company.
Acting wise this is good. The actors don’t have much time to shine but I did think the supporting character Mumu was played by a rather skilled actor. I think I’ve seen him in some drama before but can’t remember which one.
Well, if you are into something short and sweet - with a bit of interesting drama - this might be for you.

Short, funny and sweet romantic costume drama

This is a funny and sweet romantic costume drama. The storyline is interesting and even a bit exciting. I loved ML’s brother’s character and the strong FL that never wavered.
Character wise:
FL is a sweet and strong woman who is an assassin. She snatches a mission from a colleague but accidentally loses part of it so she misunderstands it as a kill-mission and not a protection-mission as it was meant to be.

Acting wise this is good and everybody does a good job within the limited timeframe.
