Interesting and sweet mini-show that will make you laugh
This is such a funny mini-show. I love these stories where someone goes into a novel/comic book/manga and has to complete missions to get back home. I enjoy those with happy endings most and this fits me well - even if I feel that it’s a bit too fast paced and there are jumps in the story that’s a bit confusing. Not enough to ruin the show though.Character wise: FL trying to be a spy is hilarious - absolutely no talent whatsoever, LOL. Instead she is clever and very cute. ML is really badass - rough but with a warm heart. The interactions between these characters are funny and sweet.
Acting wise: The main actors are really good and the chemistry is great.
Well, if you like a fast paced, interesting and funny mini-show - with a sweet love story at center - this is definitely well worth watching.

From fun to excitment - great season 2
This is a wonderful mini-show. Where season 1 was funny, season 2 is exciting. The storyline is more complicated and we see more of the characters. I was highly entertained.Acting wise the cast is good and the fight scenes are great. I love a strong FL and that is what we get here.
The only thing is that this is so short that a part of the story feels a bit rushed. It doesn’t ruin the show but leaves a bit of plot holes every now and then.
Anyway, if you like a fast paced romantic comedy with entertaining twists and turns, this is well worth watching.

Very sweet and interesting mini-show
This is a very good mini-show. The storyline is interesting and romantic. The short format does make it feel a bit rushed at times and leaves us with shallow characters but overall it’s good.Character wise we have a strong FL who is a mortician in modern day. When she travels back in ancient times she has to rely on herself to survive. We have a ML who initially meets FL in an assassination attempt. FL cunningly tricks him into protecting her instead - and their love story begins.
Acting wise this is not top shelf. There are some decent actors but there are also some who would benefit from attending some acting classes. Not that it ruins the show but it goes to prove that this is a low-budget production. Which is actually a shame since the story is quite interesting and even a bit exciting.
So, if you love a good mini-show - with an interesting storyline - this is definitely well worth watching.

Sweet and enjoyable mini-show
This is a sweet and enjoyable mini-show. The storyline is simple but funny and rather entertaining.Character wise:
Due to the short format, there is only a limited amount of character depth and development but the script doesn’t need that. FL is a modern woman who ends up in historical times. She is strong, independent and resourceful. ML is cunning and very charming. For some reason he is able to hear FLs thoughts which gives him an advantage in dealing with a FL who wants a divorce.
Acting wise this is actually pretty good - taken into account the lightheartedness and comical theme. There are some characters that are exaggerated/cringe but not to an extent that ruins the show.
So, if you love a good, romantic and funny mini-show, this is well worth watching.

Good revenge-plot short show
This is a good revenge-plot short show. The storyline of a woman who gets a second chance after being murdered by her fiancé isn’t exactly new but it is interesting and exciting. Even if it is a short show, it doesn't feel rushed and there are not many plot holes or jumps in the story - like we see in many similar productions.Character wise:
FL is a sweet and a little naive actress who changes into a strong and determined woman after experiencing her own murder and gets a chance to take revenge on those responsible.
ML is a cold and calculating man who thinks he has an easy “meal-ticket” in the original weak FL.
Acting wise this is pretty good and the actors do a good job within the limited timeframe.
So, if you love a good revenge-plot story, this is well worth watching.

Sweet mini-show with some serious eye candy, LOL
This is a nice mini-show. There isn’t really anything new in the storyline about a younger man who falls in love with an older woman but it’s a nice and funny story anyway.Since the storyline is quite simple there isn’t any rushing or jumping in the story. The love story progresses normally.
Acting wise this is a very good show and there are definitely some real eye candy for those who enjoy that (like me, LOL).
So, if you want a funny, sweet and romantic mini-show that isn’t too fast paced, this is definitely well worth watching.

A remotely intersting continuation of Oh, My General
This is an ok movie. The storyline is a continuation of “Oh, My General” where “Liu Xi Yin” (the generals female cousin) is transported 1.000 years into the future instead of dying from the poison she drank. Here she meets a male version of the General whom she loved so much. That is actually an interesting plot and I was looking forward to watching this because I absolutely loved “Oh, My General” (still one of my favorite shows).Sadly this movie doesn’t live up to the show and even if I was entertained, there is nothing about it that stands out or is worth remembering. It’s just an ordinary movie.
Maybe it’s because I really disliked “Liu Xi Yin” in the original show and moreover I couldn’t feel the chemistry between the leads in this movie. Not even a kiss did we get let alone any kind of passion. We did get a lot of swirling and dancing but that isn’t all that interesting.
So, if you loved the original show, this might be worth watching, but don’t expect too much.

The Only Girl You Haven't Seen Season 2

Great season 2 but not for the faint of heart
This is a really good short show. Season 2 is more serious and in some parts dark. I’ve read a lot of comments saying this is a bad season and I considered not watching any of the seasons based on that. As you can see I ended up watching anyway - and I’m glad I did.Some of the controversy is about using rape as part of the story - not once but twice. I can understand why that is unacceptable for a lot of viewers. Since I’m european I have a different tolerance to things used in a show/movie and even if I don’t condone the use of rape, I will not let that keep me form watching an otherwise great show/movie.
The first rape was unnecessary in my opinion since the problem could have been solved otherwise. The second was more relevant since it served as a way to show how much the desire for power had corrupted him (trying not to spoil too much).
It’s kind of sad that what’s being discussed after season 2 is the rapes and not the story of these two in many ways great people who love and support each other so beautifully. They help each other get revenge and heal their wounds. In the process they mature and become the pillars the country needs to stand on. They are by far the best power-couple I’ve seen so far.
So, if you love a somewhat lighthearted romantic drama - and can see past the use of rape - this is a “Must Watch”.

Wonderful mini-show with a sweet love story
This is such a wonderful mini-show. Even if the storyline sometimes jumps a little too much and creates a brief confusion, it makes sense after a short while. I love these stories where someone goes into a novel/manga/comic book and has to complete missions to go back.Character wise: FL is clever and works on the missions tirelessly. ML (or 2ML in the book) is so cool and it’s obvious why FL falls in love with him instead.
Acting wise: Most of the actors are pretty good but some have a tendency to over-act a bit. That is normal for these shows with short formats. It didn’t ruin anything.
Only thing I thought was that it’s a bit too fast paced. As I am not proficient in Chinese, that is a bit of a problem because I had to slow down the speed to 0,75 and even had to pause every now and then - and I actually read English very well (my 2nd language).
Well, if you like a fast paced, funny and interesting mini-show - with a great love story to spice it up - this is definitely well worth watching.

Definitely gonna watch
This is gonna be a good one, judging from the pilot here. The time-travel aspect makes it interesting and there is also some crime-solving and of course a great BL love story. What’s not to like?The characters seem interesting and the comedy part is not exaggerated like we see in many Thai BLs. t's ok in some shows (like those with very young actors), but I like the more serious BLs where the comedy is more subtle.
Acting wise it looks like the pairing of James and Net is a good one. Their chemistry seems good and I look forward to watching how their love story unfolds.

Sweet and interesting in-game story
This is such a nice movie. The storyline is not exactly new but it is interesting enough to catch your attention. It’s lighthearted but also tells a love story between two young people who have a hard time expressing their feelings.FL and ML are so sweet and lovable. FL's switching back and forth between her two female friends' personalities and her own is fun but also impressive acting wise. Both of them are really good actors.
The ending is so sweet and very fitting.
So, if you are in the mood for something sweet and interesting, this is well worth watching.

Highly entertaining revenge-plot short show
I really liked this short show. The storyline revolves around a revenge plot based on two happenings. These happenings lead FL to go full-blown revenge-bitch, LOL. The storyline doesn’t take itself too seriously so I had a great time watching the many schemes FL and others in the household come up with. It’s fast paced without any fillers which I personally love about these short shows.I know many viewers compare this show to “Maid’s Revenge” but they really shouldn’t since this is an entirely different kind of story. I admit that the revenge theme is similar but the things that happen and the backstory is not.
Character wise we have this strong FL who is clever and cunning. The ML is rather weak but changes drastically due to the thing that happens to him. 2ML is a cunning and shrewd man with violent tendencies. Nothing gets to stand in his way and nothing is worth more to him than his ambition. Of course there isn’t much character depth because of the short format, but the characters are whole and not just one-dimensional.
Acting wise this is great. All the main actors do a great job with the little time they have.
So, if you love a strong revenge plot show without fillers, this is definitely well worth watching.

Enemy-to-lovers story turns into a power struggle for the throne
This starts off as a lighthearted enemy-to-lovers story but turns into a power struggle for the throne story. It is very well constructed and the storyline keeps you interested all the way.Character wise:
I loved this strong and capable FL and this calm and collected ML. Well, I actually like all characters, except for the villains (as it should be).
Acting wise this is great and the characters are full-bodied and interesting.
So, if you are into a mostly lighthearted romantic comedy - with an interesting storyline - this is a “Must watch”.

Good transmigration story with a strong FL
This is a sweet and interesting transmigration story. There are some inconsistencies in the storyline that makes the ending unrealistic except (see spoiler in the comments section).Character wise:
FL is a strong and righteous General that supported the Emperor in his fight for the throne.
ML is a man FL saved early on and has been by her side ever since.
The Emperor is a ruthless and shameless man that will stop at nothing to get the throne.
Acting wise this was great. Even if the short format leaves little room for in-depth interpretations of the characters, these actors actually manage to give us more than just a one dimensional version.
So, if you love a good transmigration story and a strong FL, this is definitely well worth watching.

Surprisingly entertaining mini-show
What a surprise that was. This turned out to be a great mini-show. The storyline was romantic, passionate, intriguing and a bit exciting. I don’t think I have seen anything quite like this.From the comments section I expected something bland and not that interesting but this is anything but. It might not be the story of a century but it doesn’t have to be as long as I am entertained - and that I was.
Character wise:
We have this mentally strong, fearless and persistent FL who will do just about anything to get her “story”/headline. In doing so she meets this ML who is somewhat of a chameleon. He has a hidden identity causing him to shun all personal relationships. Their meeting and falling in love turns their worlds upside down.
Acting wise this is great. There aren't a lot of characters and the chemistry between the main couple is what fuels this show. Sizzling might be the best word for that, LOL.
Well, if you like a good romantic drama - with an intriguing storyline - this is definitely well worth watching.
