Might be on bilibili but not sure how to search for it.
In Bilibili, I usually just copy and paste the drama title and input the episode number next to it to find. Cannot click to enlarge viewing unless we are from the same country of this platform, China. So on my mobile, I just pinch in to enlarge my screen without clicking the platforms full screen mode. Once click any addition features/ button will trigger the platform to stop all viewing unless you’re also from China.
I believe these are called minidramas, and I also wish there would be an easier way to search for new ones to…
It depends on each person’s liking really…But since it’s so short, it’s worth exploring. Even if not your cup of tea can just stop without having spending too much time ya 😉 For me, it was nice & enjoyable.
I mean, who dares to speak out about big shots or superiors who sexually assaulted and/ or harassed them for the fear of being ostracized and losing their jobs. What’s more when nondisclosure agreement is signed, will have legal implications to the victim who speaks out.
Short drama are easy to binge…and it’s plus point when watching this makes me smiling to myself during the sweet happy moments.
Both FL & ML is fresh (first time I’m watching their works) and FL feels more experienced in her portraying of the characters, her micro expressions are good, and at some point it appears to me she resembles S.H.E. Selina’s vibes and looks (at a glimpse). Like how her character here is steadfast, knows what she wants and pursue it at her best…indeed not the kind of damsel in distress crying or waiting for knight to rescue. She can very well rescue herself if within her strength/ power.
ML has that freshness in his acting but at times his micro expressions a bit lacking, i did rewind few scenes to rewatch (best part about short drama, much more time for me to do such moves…lol) whereby especially his chuckles (yeah it’s difficult to portray the feeling of mischievous smile yet in positive way nothing fishy or devious but yet need to express ‘I nailed it’ sorta thing) ain’t too convincing. And after watching him here, thinking maybe he could look better in period drama where layers of clothing can make his body ratio more balanced and appealing. At some point, his eyes and some moments does resembles Chen Xiao (best in A Dream of Splendor, 2022) vibes and hope ML can do better than this drama as he has the looks for it.
2ML’s acting feels weird for his character…understandable he’s a mama boy in here but maybe his looks is so sunshiny with smiling face (yea noticed his face is all smiling bright eyes etc despite in scenes need to be showing doubtful to his wife!) that it’s not convincing he’s such an airhead with no self logic for his relationship dealings (7yrs with FL and just split up on a whim and marries 2FL just like that?! I know it’s short drama but gotta be convincing right) and unable to decipher what’s right or wrong…at best, I think all his expression throughout the drama is being puzzled with everything around him….glad he got the looks that kept me looking despite acting mismatch the character.
Good to watch this short production when in between errands and to get some small peaks at the end of a busy day. The villain parts aren’t lengthy hence not giving any unpleasant feeling, so it’s just feel good throughout the drama : )

Probably if you like the story setting in the Republican Era (where there’s warlords, similar to Maid's Revenge) you may wanna check out Provoke (serious, romance). It’s a nice short drama, engaging story, good acting and nice OSTs : ) it’s still in my head despite watching mths ago..lol
Holy shit! The guy who acts as his secretary is only 17!!!! WOW!
Wow…now that you mentioned, yeah true! Didn’t expect tht bcos the secretary guy character is well portrayed and he’s just 17y/o and I do think he was doing quite a good job with outstanding expressions for many slapstick moments…sometimes his expression is even more natural than his boss (ML)…lol🤣
Oh after few mths I’m still coming back here to see if any other similar drama genre is being introduced by other viewers…Provoke’s OST is so catchy that the tune is still my head until today and I play it on & off over YTube…lol🤣
Hey thanks so much for your insights. Yeap, am anticipating for end of this week…probably while counting down for the new year, also counting on the final few episodes to be released by then…lol😂
As usual I opine ZX never disappoints on portraying her character in this drama…Like how she (and director) slowly reveals her past emotional wounds when she faces this case with similarity to her younger self.
JL seems well portraying her character here, being the wishy-washy victim that couldn’t speak out her mind…I do think this character despite flawed (with insecurities and moments of greed on the luxuries, stability that the rich boss tempted her with, causing her crossroads and uncertain of her true wants in life) is somehow what a lot of people are facing in society day in day out…our voices can seem so small that even if spoken out loud may cause disbelief or being disastrous results to oneself, hence dare not speak out at all…thinking of burying true thoughts bringing it to the coffin!
Many different characters stories of being oppressed and abused in this drama, regardless emotional and even physically and yet unable to stand up for themselves to defend what’s right or wrong. In the eyes of law, most grey areas/ points is often seen as insincerity or deceitful of the victim…although there’s the clause of giving benefit of doubt to the victims but other factors does contribute to this ‘benefit’ being stripped off from the victims.
Voices of the public is another strong point being brought up in this drama…given today’s society many public voices are overtly concerned being morale police despite only having pieces of information gathered from online discussions and/ or unknown source leaks under the pretense of intel from justice above….may unknowingly harmed the victim itself by its’ viral strength! Glad the director or script writer has this point included into the drama as somehow a mental note/ mirror effect to audience to be more skeptical on information found online, not to overtly react on it.
Appreciate how this drama is plotted and at some point it does makes my heart cry for our few female characters for having to go through such scarred life experience despite in todays modern world. We have evolved much more than our ancestors but yet there’s still unspoken rule of discrimination and abuse happening at some workplace, some homes (places called home but could be a hell to live in!) and anywhere around the world…Hope more people can get exposure to such genre not only for entertainment purposes but to have a glimpse of how to have somewhat empathy onto others…as we will never know what others have experienced hence not to play judge onto anyone’s life.
So I felt the final scene in the final episode was a little cramped. That scenes had to be omitted. For instance,…
Wow you’ve drafted a perfect ending for this drama…guess this drama named Imperfect Victim is bound to have an imperfect ending…am just glad they have a happy ending instead of sad one, that’s all I can ask for…😂
Short watch of fluffy romance (at some point FL seems head-over-heels with ML) with reversal role (FL is left/ right hand of the emperor, so she holds high rank position and supposedly level headed when on duty).
First time I’m seeing works of ML and indeed upon checking this is actually his debut drama and so is 2ML. But for debut am quite surprised with the many kiss scenes and skinship with FL (usually actor/ actress cld be unwilling to be more revealing on screen especially not when first time debut!)….and at times I think it’s kinda unnecessary to be so cringey touchy (it’s period drama so a bit weird especially the scene whereby FL put her hand into ML’s loosely wore top to caress his chest—okay it was seen just placing hand inside his top while pretended caressing and it is the thought/ message she’s trying to showcase only—while trying to fool the guards with the alibi to keep him) but am thinking if for this scene the director/ producer is trying to attract more fan base and get attention to boost ratings!
Rest of the background story isn’t detailed nor with general sense of rationale (yea, just close all our morale police or logical sense and sit back to just enjoy the drama!) but okay to overlook it for the sake of this is a short drama and we get to watch pretty boy ML’s clingy & loyal love to FL..being a fan of romance genre, that’s probably the reason I stayed on to watch until the very end. Ending is rushed, what the heck, it’s short drama so yes can understand. Just wished it could be longer and more development but hey what can I say more…it’s considerably good for newbies as debut.
Hahaha…liked the myth part about mermen being loyal to their partners (once found the love of their life, will only stay with one partner throughout their lifetime!)…wish us humans can learn from them if it really is such…🤣🤣
But here isn’t the full episodes right? Am wondering why only until Episode 24…was there any off period/ holidays from airing, by any chance if anyone knows?
I think this is the latest trend that nowadays city folks are rushing to work, busyness in life…so they came…
Undeniably city folks are being overworked to the extent of losing themselves each day…i too have friends who migrated to other western countries (somewhere that the herds of cows and other livestocks are even more ratio than human population!) that’s more laidback to have slow pace in life…but then of course not everyone has this luxury to be selective in their pace of life, given the background (both family and financial related) we’ve been born with.
Strangest thing is that we humans can be very adaptive to life to the extent of creating such super short drama to have momentarily perks in life—away from the hustle & bustle of city pressures and work stress, etc. I don’t blame the current culture as this is how evolved our human population is, but I do appreciate the effort that different types of drama length is created to fulfil the needs and demands of the society, as though it’s a new norm.
I do agree that it’s choppy editing (at some point I’m glad we have the same POV) however it’s acceptable for me and guess this is the likes of current society with short clips postings, reels etc being daily dose of momentarily enjoyment being created not solely due to low budget but highly likely it’s the today’s trend of the newer generations…lol🤣🤣
P.S. Actually I lived by the generations of watching super long episodes of drama (i.e. A Kindred Spirit with 1,000+ episodes) those whereby camera position is very still & upright…but am glad I’ve also come by to accept this new changes in drama production world…it seems weird at first but along the lines only if we don’t measure/ compare these new against the older methodology, it isn’t too bad at all!)
