The Best and Moody Short C-Drama

Firstly, I love the Story very much, it's Fun, i feel touched, When I'm feel boring or isn't on Moody conditions but after watched it i feel better and have Happy mood. I also love the Soundtrack by Nene, it's very nice and never bored. The Acting and the cast are amazing, love Nene & Song Ji Yang , OMG these CP are so fluffy and cute...!! Awwww love this couple ? But things that i dislike is when the Female Lead (Lin Chen) is something happened or on bad conditions the Male Lead will come to save her and i feel that's so coincidence , but Overall I love it so much and hope their can be together on new drama. END, You all must Watching this!! Highly recommended ????

The C-Drama that you should watch. Hope it have a longer version. The BEST Soundtrack so far

This is an interesting series. At first, it's like a typical CEO cold and serious ML and a funny and beautiful FL. After watching 10, I loved it, can't stop watching and excited to it.

It's fun to watch and love their chemistry. Love the FL, not only beautiful but she acts perfectly in the character. Love her for being funny and being herself. Love her personality and her voice.

Most especially, the best OST so far, I listen to the song "all about that day which is the opening song, and the shock that the singer is the FL itself. It's been a loop every day since I heard it. Bravo to the production for choosing the perfect songs for the series.

It's not boring at all, I just hope that the length of every episode is longer than it is. I never watched a C-drama that I'm looking forward to the next episode as this.

Really recommend it and listen to the soundtrack, it is so good.

The lead actors carry the drama

For what it is, it's pretty good. My favorite short format CDrama is 'Familiar Stranger.' This one is just pretty good in comparison.

Overall, the story was a little out there but still fun, dialogue wasn't bad at all. The FL has great comedic timing which I wasn't expecting. The script also played to her strengths, which was great. The ML played his role perfectly and was quite adorable to watch. I'd say he and the FL were the best part of the show.

Their chemistry was pretty good (longing looks) but the skinship / kisses were very *meh*. (In comparison, 'Familiar Stranger' had both top notch chemistry and better / more realistic skinship scenes than most full-length dramas.)

I'd say it's worth a watch if you're looking for something fast where the central story is the romance.

Just Okay

Tbh i saw an edit of this show and everyone in the comments said it's good so i thought I'd watch it since i had free time.

But now after completing it I'm left with disappointment. This was such a low value produced show. The plot was horrible.

The main leads however were so amazing in their acting skills as well as good looks. I only went through this show for their sake. So if you want then do watch it for them<3

We get lots and lots of kisses but the plot is just repeating the same silly things again and again. I got sick n tired of it.

Really disappointed with this show. It had so much potential and could've been made into a way better plot but sadly that wasn't the case.

Deserves to be watched !!

I just finished watching an amazing drama! It completely exceeded my expectations, despite its short length. The writing and directing were both expertly done, and the actors gave outstanding performances. I enjoyed every moment of it and loved it so much. To be honest, it's even better than many full-length dramas I've seen!
PS - the kissing scenes were soo well done!
Do give it try I promise you won't regret it.
!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of kisses, mix of romance and thriller

The story revolves around a woman who takes the place of her famous twin sister to participate in a dating show. Her enemy stops her from pairing up with the guy she wanted, so she decides to approach another guy with a fake dating contract. Unfortunately, or luckily, for her, he's not the other guy, but the ceo of the hotel, her first love. Aside from the romantic development there's also a subplot about an SA event in their youth. The assaulter seemingly comes back to haunt them all.
The main leads were a terrific match: i could feel the chemistry overflowing. Her eyes are amazing; his face looks great in 90% of the shots but sometimes they messed up the styling or makeup, making him look less attractive. They kissed a LOT for a cdrama, and the kisses in the last episode were almost steamy with the thigh action going on. The kisses aren't very chaste pressing off the lips, but actual kisses. The show had some production errors, which is not uncommon for a mini series (most notaby, the book he's reading upside down). Overall, i enjoyed the mix of romance, light humor, and thriller. I want to see both leads in another romance where they have more chance to develop their characters.

A satirical gem in the rough

This show is something. It's perfect for what it is- a comedic short drama. It's fast paced due to the short episode length but they're the right length for a show like this. it's very easy to binge this all the way through and I recommend you do that.

I keep saying its funny because it is I don't know if its the sleep deprivation or it generally encapsulates my humour but I found myself constantly laughing at the FL's corny jokes. The scenes are so cringey but it's a very fun show to watch. I find myself laughing randomly but be warned the humour isn't top class.

The storyline with the assaulter/stalker is pretty interesting for what it is. It's not at all original but its played out well. The character itself is pretty edgy and he comes with tons of plot twists which help the story move along.

The only reason the ratings are so low is because it's just a basic show to watch only if you're bored. Its nothing special but I have enjoyed watching it. I think the casting for the FL is perfect she has such a great way of acting awkward/ sarcastic that makes me laugh.

This show also doesn't have a comedy tag? WHEN I TELL YOU SCREW THE ROMANCE- THE COMEDY IS WHAT YOURE HERE FOR- IS MY HUMOUR BROKEN?

FL single-handedly carried the show

I dove into a whirlwind of Chinese mini-series last weekend, starting with "My Villain Husband", which had such a disappointing plot. I was really let down. Then there was "A Tale of Love and Loyalty", where the logic was absurd even without considering the plot. It seemed like the writers had no sense of reason. The only thing that kept me watching till the end was the good-looking main leads and their steamy kissing scenes.

Next, I tried "The West Wind Is Strong" and "The Everlasting Love" but found them so disappointing that I couldn't even finish.

Then I stumbled upon "Confess Your Love." Surprisingly, the female lead's acting was quite impressive. Her subtle nuances were smooth and natural. Despite the illogical setup around the villain and the overall acting in this series, I'd say this actress single-handedly carried the show. I managed to stick around till the end because of her charm; she really drew me in.

The plot was okay, but the storytelling was rather illogical. There were so many details that wouldn't make sense to anyone, yet they deliberately steered the story in that direction for convenience's sake. Still, this mini-series was much better than most in its genre. I've watched 8 in total over these couple of days, and 6 of them were a lot worse than this. There's only this one and "The Deliberations of Love" that are passable in my opinion.

--------------------------------------------------

PS.1 - The ML's acting was super stiff. The FL truly carried the whole show.

--------------------------------------------------

PS.2 - The list of my 8 binge-watched shows is as follows:

Passable:
1. The Deliberations of Love
2. Confess Your Love (2023)

So bad:
1. My Villain Husband
2. A Tale of Love and Loyalty
3. My Cat-astrophic Lover
4. My Fake Wife

Dropped:
1. The West Wind Is Strong
2. The Everlasting Love

Best short drama I have seen

I went into this not knowing what to expect but so pleasantly surprised by it. If you look at this drama as the low budget short drama that it is then it really pulled off so much. The production was great from the choice of locations, the camera angles, the colors, the outfits. Everything chosen added to the overall experience. The acting was also very good. There was no instance where I thought that these were new actors because they never appeared nervous on screen. Their characters showed through well and fit the story. The soundtrack is also one of my favorites.

If there is anything that takes away stars it is only the storyline. But that is mostly because of the short nature of the drama that things had to progress quickly and leave out details to fit the length. But even though some things can be a bit unbelievable it was still done extremely well within the constrictions. There is a clear motive for any of their actions so you never felt lost. Honestly I would love to see the story expanded for a longer drama with the same actors.

I've seen a lot of asian dramas and quite a few short and low budget ones; this is my favorite among them. Well worth the watch and it will only take a couple hours since the episodes are only about 10 minutes long each.
