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.

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”.

Little gem with really good actors, interesting characters, an exciting storyline and no fillers.

This is a great little gem with really good actors, interesting characters, an exciting storyline and no fillers. I liked this strong and sensible FL (a rabbit fairy) and this powerful and cunning ML. Their love story was heartwarming and even if the chemistry wasn’t off the roof, it was good enough for a short and mostly lighthearted story like this.
The short format was fitting and nothing felt rushed, although an open ending always will be somewhat abrupt. I hope there will be a season 2 one day.
So, if you love a good romantic fantasy show - with some twists and turns - this is definitely well worth watching.

Nice and interesting poor girl/rich man mini-show

This is a really nice mini-show. The storyline is interesting.
Character wise:
FL is an orphan who was adopted by a professional hustler, leading to her taking up the same trade. She is kind and street-smart but longs to earn an honest living.
ML is the usual clever and cold on the outside CEO with a problematic relationship with his father who cheated on his mother.
Acting wise this is not top shelf but it’s pretty good. The actors do a fine job with their characters given the limited timeframe.
So, if you like a nice poor girl/rich man story, this is actually well worth watching.

Nice "In-Game"-story that landed between two chairs

This is a nice and sweet “In-Game”-story with good actors.
Sadly, the storyline seemed a bit wavering in being an investigative or a love-brain story, so it ended up landing between two chairs.
I can’t say I particularly liked this lecherous/sometimes headless/intrusive FL who didn’t really put to use her modern day skills and who seemed more interested in nailing this oblivious/clever ML rather than solving the cases. Not to mention that FL seemed quite a bit older than ML (although she really isn't), giving me "a Wolf staring at a Sheep"-feeling more than once. I know they went for a more realistic modern day woman versus ancient man, but they just overdid a bit.
The Game-arc worked very well and the Game-master was a brilliant touch (cute kid).
Well, it’s a nice watch.

Wonderful fantasy costume production

This is a wonderful fantasy costume production with great actors and a storyline that keeps you engaged in the love story between a human and an immortal spirit. The story is heartwarming, funny, mysterious and a little heart wrenching.
So if you love a mostly lighthearted, good fantasy love story with some twists and turns, this is definitely well worth watching.

The summary should have rather been something like this:
FL is the future immortal spirit Queen but that causes her to be quite lonely. One day she wishes for a friend and meets ML, a human boy. In order to save him, she gives him her spirit Orb, breaking the rules of her race. So, 10 human years later, she goes to find the now grown man - only to find that he is now a fierce spirit hunter and that retrieving the Orb isn’t that simple. To have a chance to retrieve it, she has to join the organization of spirit hunters he is a part of, starting a wonderful love story.

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.
