Sweet mini-show about a Fox and a Prince
This is a sweet and adorable mini-show with a storyline surrounding a Fox and a Prince. Even if it is a simple story, we also get an epic love story between the two.Character wise:
FL is a sweet and peppy Fox Demon who accidentally loses her inner force to Prince Hong Yi (ML). She needs to retrieve it before the first snow falls.
ML is a cunning Prince who plays a fool in order to uncover a conspiracy within the palace.
Acting wise this is not exactly top shelf but since most parts have a comical aspect, this is understandable. This couple often does these kinds of shows and I, personally, am always highly entertained.
So, if you want something fast, sweet and a little mysterious, this is definitely well worth watching.

Silly mini-show with intersting storyline
This is a funny mini-show as always with this couple. The storyline is quite interesting but the execution comes out a bit silly. Not unusual for this couple.Character wise:
FL is a jinx that causes her husbands to die on the wedding day.
ML is a poisoned young Lord who actually needs a jinx in order to wake up from his coma.
Acting wise this is hard to rate since the production is aiming at silliness. I’ve seen other productions with this couple and know that they are actually not bad actors.
So, if you want something funny and sweet to pass the time - and don’t mind the silliness - this is a nice watch.

Second season of mini-show with revenge-plot
Season 2 starts a bit abrupt, but I guess the child FL gives birth to in season 1 is killed and FL thinks ML did it. The storyline goes from romance to revenge-plot..ML is even more narrow-minded and suspicious than before, but him seeing what he thinks is FL’s lookalike, awakens his sorrow and longing for his deceased consort.
FL is out to avenge her lost child and decides to try to become the Lord's consort again.
Acting wise this is like season 1 since it’s the same bunch of actors. They are definitely not bad, but there is room for improvement.
Well, if you like something short, this is actually worth watching and the end in this is satisfying.

Funny mini-show with different type of actors
This season 1 is kind of a mess. There are some holes left unexplained and even if the mini-show is quite funny to begin with it ends up sad.Character wise:
ML is a narrow-minded and suspicious Lord who is actually easily deceived.
FL is a modern woman who wakes up in the body of the Lord’s now unfavored consort.
Acting wise this is not exactly top notch to say the least but I’ve seen several things this couple has done and I have enjoyed it all. I like that they are not mainstream actors who are usually chopstick thin and perfect in appearance. This couple is in fact “normal” and that is rather rare.
Well, if you want something fast and funny, this is actually worth watching.

Sweet and funny mini-show with adorable ML
This is a nice little mini-show. The storyline isn’t exactly new but the characters are adorable and the storyline contains some exciting aspects.Character wise:
FL is a dimension/time traveler from modern time who is strong and hotheaded. She meets ML and falls in love with him.
ML is a kind and rather naive man who believes in the best in people. That makes him a bad judge of character but a nice person.
Acting wise this isn’t top notch but the actors do a good job within the limited timeframe.
So, if you are looking for something light, funny and sweet - and don’t mind a cliffhanger ending - this is well worth watching.

Lighthearted yet hard-punching comedy
This is a nice and simple romantic comedy. It’s lighthearted and funny (even a bit silly at times). I liked the angle of the fathers setting up their kids so they could meet naturally and not by forcing a marriage onto them (which is actually the aim). That was refreshing.Character wise:
FL is a smart and intelligent woman who grew up knowing her father would have liked her to be a boy. She is the sole heir of the family business.
ML is a smart, rough and temperamental young man who is the son of the current CEO in the family business but not the sole heir.
Acting wise this is pretty good and the main actors do a good job even if the story has a more comical aspect that doesn’t leave them that much room to shine.
Anyway, if you are into something light, funny and a little romantic, this is a nice watch.

Sweet and adorable no-brainer movie
This is a sweet and adorable movie. Even if there isn’t really anything new or different storyline and it is kind of similar to so many other same-themed movies/shows, it is entertaining and easy to watch-Character wise:
FL is the usual sweet and airheaded woman who is indebted to ML because of certain circumstances.
ML is the usual cold and shrewd CEO who inserts himself in FLs life because she is different from other women he knows.
Acting wise this isn’t exactly top shelf but I guess the actors were directed to act their characters so they appear a little silly, especially FL and her bestie. That is often the case when they want to make a lighthearted movie/show.
Well, if you are looking for something short, sweet and angst-free, this is actually worth watching.

Nice low budget mini-show
This is a nice low budget mini-show. The storyline is interesting in there being a kid involved. Other than that, it’s quite cliché.Character wise:
FL is somehow framed into spending the night with ML, resulting in a kid. She is a kind and sweet woman. ML is a cold CEO who ends up spending the night with FL even if he doesn’t want to. Seeing he has a child, he wants to spend time with him and thereby reconnects with FL. And so the story begins.
Acting wise this might not be top notch but it isn’t anywhere near bad. The actors do a good job within the limited timeframe.
Well, if you look for something simple and sweet, this is actually worth watching.

Nice but draggy dance-themed love story
This is an ok movie. The storyline is simple and revolves around a young man who falls in love with the dance instructor his female friend uses. The pace of the story is rather slow which makes it feel a bit draggy.Character wise ML is carefree and outgoing. FL is a sweet girl who loves to dance.
Acting wise this is only mediocre. It doesn’t ruin anything but it goes to show that the movie is kind of low-budget.
So, if you have some time to spare and want a simple and sweet romantic movie, this is an ok watch.

Rushed fantasy movie with a hint of romance
This is an ok movie. The storyline is quite simple.Character wise we have an immortal (ML) who is suspected of stealing the Magic Lotus Lantern when in fact he was trying to prevent an intruder in doing so. He then throws himself into reincarnation in the mortal world in order to get the lantern back. Here he meets and falls in love with FL who is a strong woman with superior martial art skills.
Acting wise this is not top notch. Focus is on telling the story but they are trying to put in more than there is time for, so it feels rushed.
Anyway, if you like the fantasy genre, this is an ok watch - just don’t expect too much from the romance.

Nice bromance mini-show set in historical times
This is a nice bromance mini-show. There is only a hint of BL. The storyline is quite simple and easy to follow.Character wise we have this ML who is assisting the Crown Prince in his attempt to secure his position as the next king. The Crown Prince is a suspicious man so he places one of his brothers next to ML in order to keep him in line. Against the Crown Prince is the Eldest Prince who wants to get the throne for himself.
Acting wise this is rather good even if it is a short format so there isn’t much time to work with the characters.
Well, if you like a nice bromance set in historical times, this is an ok watch.

Mini-show with food for thoughts
This is actually a great mini-show. The storyline revolves around a FL who is stuck in a time-loop. In order to break the loop, she ends up repeating the day a lot of times - each time changing her actions a little.It’s funny to see how FL spends her time-loops (wooing ML whom she falls in love with in one of the first resets) while the other person (2ML) also stuck in this time-loop uses it in a whole different way.
Things get better and better - and more complicated - as 2ML starts to help FL. I think they try just about every possible storyline available, LOL. Sometimes it’s downright hilarious.
Well, if you like a mini-show that gives you food for thoughts, this is definitely well worth watching.

Surprisingly good mini-show with an refreshing storyline
This is a surprisingly good mini-show. The storyline is kind of refreshing and rather entertaining. Even if it is a mini-show it doesn’t feel rushed and there are no inconsistencies or jumps in the story - only a few things left unexplained.Character wise we have this FL who is stuck in a time-loop trying to avoid a fire that wipes out her puppet-troupe. Then we have ML who is actually the author who has created the book that both of them are in. The two of them have to work together in order to revive the puppet-troupe, investigate who caused the fire and in doing that, make it possible for ML to return to real life.
Acting wise these are some really good and experienced actors even if they are challenged a bit because of the short format. That causes the character to feel somewhat shallow. And in terms of chemistry between the leads, there is room for improvement as one could say. Not that it ruins the show but it affects the overall rating.
Anyway, if you like something fast with a mystery theme, this is actually well worth watching.

Mummy movie with untapped potential
When I saw the low rating I thought it couldn’t be that bad - sadly it was. The storyline seemed interesting. Kind of like “The Mummy” in a Chinese version and a little different backstory. As a story there wasn’t anything wrong but the quality of the movie was just too bad. Especially the end scene makes no sense when this is supposed to be a love across time.Character wise there were these mainly three people. A FL who back in ancient time was in love with an ancestor of ML. Then we have 2ML who was the son of a man who forced FL and ML to separate so he could marry FL himself. Due to a curse, FL kills 2ML by mistake and is buried in a tomb with 2ML. They come back to life 2.000 years later and FL meets ML.
Acting wise this is really not top shelf and since the actors are rather experienced it must be the directing that causes the movie to look like it’s low budget (maybe it is?). What a pity.
Anyway, if you like a mummy-movie that is not so scary - and don’t mind the low quality - this is an ok watch but nothing more.

Seriously, find something else to pass the time
This is a strange movie. The storyline is quite straightforward and easy to follow but there are so many things being told instead of shown - and the unrealistic love story strikes like lightning from a clear sky.Character wise: FL is way too childish, ridiculously stubborn, dumb as a doornail and dressed more for a party than work (except when she is at the bar of course). ML is fierce and dominating but intelligent.
Acting wise this is not even near the top shelf but it isn’t bad either.
I saw this review on YouTube that was spot on, “So this whole drama is about 2 idiots that should have stayed home and would not have died .. Causing all this grief.. And the other 2 falling in love is so ridiculously absurd that…well it passed the time..”
So, if you have an hour or so to waste, this is ok - but seriously, find something else to pass the time.
