Short and sweet fluff or two hours long ad?

When they said mini drama they meant it. It is about 2 hours total in length. I have seen it presented as 20 x 6 mins episodes or 3 longer episodes each about 42mins long.

The premise is quite straightforward. The ML knew the FL when they were younger and there was a hint of first love but they lost contact. By some cliché plot device, the ML was transported into the future and met up with the FL again and they are now both working adults. He ended up living with the FL for a while and they fell in love all over again.

The story is fairly straightforward. It has a tropey plot but there was no nasty surprises. The OTP had good chemistry and they made a cute, good looking couple. A big negative was the egregious product placements. It wasn't just the usual jar of cosmetics by the sink or drinks in the fridge. They actually wrote the ads into the script so that the actors pushed one company's products relentlessly. At one stage, the ML got a job selling the products in a shopping centre and, of course, he has to demonstrate the products and tell us all about their benefits.

On the whole, it was a harmless show with a decent plot (point deducted for all the PPL). Cute and fluffy with minimal investment in your time and emotions. Think of it as a palate cleanser between two must watch shows.

Great Mini

I loved this Mini Drama, each episode are very short but it was very well written. The episodes make you look forward to the next and they don't leave you confuse. I enjoy the story since the first episode I was captivated by the story. The lead male character you wonder if he was brought back to her because of her wishing or their destiny. The lead characters are great in this story. I really like the actors, their performance was great and they seem to have very good chemistry. There had no push and pull scene and no mean scheming girl. Just a very nice story. I am watching it again all 20 episode non stop.

It's an advertisement more than a drama. A filler drama for the super bored.

This is an advertisement, not a drama. I mean, it’s not just a case of the usual Chinese drama plagued with product placements, it’s a blatant straight up advertising.

Story: This does not make sense in ways I don’t even know where to begin. The guy is from year 2015 vs the present 2020! Why did they make it in such a way that he acts like he’s dumb or alien to the modern world? If you time travelled, wouldn’t your first instinct be to look for the you in the present you’re in? It’s not like he’s from another country, too. He’s still from China! And even if he comes back to 2015, his memory would still be his, and would still remember her and they could look for each other. As it is, they began dating but didn’t even exchange info or plan what to do in case he disappears when from the get-go they knew he’d come back to 2015. like, wtf?

Acting: The guy’s acting is weird, too. He acts like a robot if you ask me. Again, he’s just from 2015, not from Pluto! It’s not like 2015 was the Jurassic Period and lacked technology. It’s not like he’s dead, too, and now he’s a ghost that there’s no way to figure out things. The girl’s acting is okay on the other hand. Like, more natural than the guy’s. The other actor role is irrelevant for me. With or without him, the drama would stand the same.

I’d say, this could pass as a filler drama, an in between drama kind of watch. When you’re done with a drama you’re still hang up with and can’t or don’t wanna start a new one yet but want to pass the time, this could be it for you. It’s light enough to to not play with or engage your emotions. It’s not for me, though. Light it may be, I just can’t get past the thought that it still is a nonsensical script. It may be 2 hours short but I can’t remember the times I stopped and watch something else.

Es muy corta...pero estuvo bien.

Tal vez es demasiado corta para mi gusto.

Este es un mini drama super corto de apenas 20 cortos capítulos de aproximadamente 7 minutos. Creo que no es malo pero tampoco es muy bueno o sea, realmente no estuvo mal, pero solo eso, no más de allí.

Como ya dije es un drama muy corto así que creo que no pierdes nada en verlo, ya que la protagonista es muy linda y también actúa bien, además no puedo negar que me reí en reducidas ocasiones.

Si viste chasing ball (drama en el que aparece la protagonista), te digo que en éste drama hay una escena similar a una de chasing ball, o por lo menos a mi me recordó a esa escena (si no has visto chasing ball también la recomiendo).

Creo que el hecho de que sea tan corta impide que se desarrolle bien la historia, aunque la trama tampoco es la gran cosa, más bien es algo ridícula y sin mucho sentido.

Creo que no te arrepentirás de ver este drama, pero tampoco será la mejor decisión de tu vida.

Supongo que es ideal para ver en caso de que estes muy ocupada, no tengas mucho tiempo y quieras ver algo corto o simplemente un drama que puedas terminar rápido.
