Very hot and different "Uncle"-story
This is a great but very different version of the “My Fiancé Cheated on Me, So I Married His Uncle”-story with great actors and a storyline that can make most people blush.I loved this strong/capable/playful FL and the both powerful/possessive and submissive/passionate ML - and their sizzling chemistry.
I admit, this one had me quite entertained and I consider it a “Must Watch”.

Sugar-overload
OMG this is sugar-overload. The storyline is quite simple but we get a lot of romance, passion and sweetness. I had a lot of laughs watching this since there are a lot of funny scenes. Even if it is a mini-show, it doesn’t feel rushed but perhaps a bit abrupt in terms of editing. Nothing that ruins the show, though.Character wise:
Both FL and ML are sweet and caring people that fall victim to a controlling mother and miss out on a lot of time together.
Acting wise this is great. I have seen a couple of shows with ML and he is quite talented. It would be nice to see him in something more up-scaled (and longer). FL is also quite talented and natural in her acting. Together they have sizzling chemistry which is very important especially in mini-shows where the love story has a limited timeframe.
I would like to point out that the kid actor is a great contributor to this show and adds another dimension to the story.
So, if you love a romantic and funny mini-show - with the sweetest kid actor - this is definitely 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.

What a mess......weirdest thing I've seen in a long time
This is a weird mini-show. Even if the storyline sometimes makes sense, suddenly it doesn’t. Especially the beginning was all over the place and nothing seemed coherent. FL being married off even if she is supposed to be married to ML (who is who?) and then a battle between two families (over money/possessions?) and then there are two brothers (family feud between legitimate and illegitimate sons?) - and what’s with the snakes? What a mess. For once it wasn’t the subtitles making it confusing but all the story-jumps and things unexplained.The acting was ok but not great and the editing could definitely have been better. Best thing about this was the special effects.
So, if you like something weird, then go ahead and watch. If not, save yourself some time and go watch something good.

Great version of the “Modern Day Doctor transmigrates into Ancient times”-story
This is a great version of the “Modern day doctor transmigrates into ancient times”-story with great actors and an interesting and slightly different storyline than usual - like the “destined one”-arc and the last part (I’ve seen this once before with another cast, I think).I loved this strong/capable/kind FL, powerful/fierce/loving ML and cute/smart child.
Well, this is definitely well worth watching.

Sweet, cute and enjoyable
This is a sweet, cute and enjoyable costume production that has a focus on food and investigation.I did find it a bit boring since the food-arc was too extensive for me (it did make sense but still…).
Character wise I liked this clever/perky/cute (done right, not excessive) and dedicated/calm ML.
If you look for something easy and warm to watch, this is it.

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.

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.

Great season 2 of a very different mini-show
This is a great season 2 of this mini-show. Actually much better than season 1. The storyline becomes more complicated with the major twist that starts the show. There is a more serious atmosphere and the story is more dark. On the other hand we get an epic love story that is not typical for these short shows.Not everybody will like the ending and I admit I shed a tear but I choose to see the ending as a start. Perhaps we will get a season 3. I will definitely keep my eye out for that.
So, if you love a good mini-show that has different characters and storyline than normal - and an epic love story - this is definitely well worth watching.

Great mini-show with unique characters
This is a great mini-show. It’s funny and different since it’s about a Demon instead of “just” a normal man. That challenges FL who is supposed to change the story because the plot would result in the Demon destroying the world. The problem is that her appearance messes up the plot in an unpredictable (and funny) way. I really love those kinds of twists.I read in the comments that this had a “Love between Fairy and Demon”-vibe and I fully understand that, LOL.
Character wise: FL is clever and cute. ML is scary but also shows feelings when surprised by FLs advances. His reaction to FLs touch while in trance (communicating with his people) made me laugh and feel embarrassed at the same time.
Acting wise this is very good even if the short format makes it feel rushed. I ended up watching the show with reduced speed (0,75). That felt like the right speed.
Since it’s so entertaining but open-ended, I can’t wait to watch season 2.
So, if you love a good mini-show that has different characters than normal, this is definitely well worth watching.

Interesting time-travel themed short show with food for thoughts
This is an interesting short show. The storyline starts off quite simple but soon gets more complicated since more than one person goes back in time. I see this show as trying to play with “What if…” in the sense that these people get a chance to see what happens if they make other decisions now than they did back then. Quite an interesting thought that I think many of us have had at some point in life.Character wise:
We have this sweet and kind FL who is abused by her husband and commits suicide but is somehow given the chance to go back 10 years before she chooses the wrong person to marry.
We also have this nice and caring ML who is drugged and tricked into marrying a woman he doesn’t like who also commits suicide. He also gets the chance to avoid his miserable life.
The two of them were in love back then so now they get a chance to be together. Will it be possible to live another life and be happy, or is the life they ended up in really their unchangeable destiny? That is what this story gives us a take on.
Acting wise this is pretty good and the actors portray their characters well within the limited timeframe.
So, if you like a good time-travel/dimension-travel story - with a satisfying ending - this is actually 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.

Somewhat funny “Reincarnation/Rebirth”-story
This is a somewhat funny “Reincarnation/Rebirth”-story with good actors and a storyline that starts off quite interesting but changes into some kind of comedy with a FL who hardly use anything she has learned from her previous lives, so she run around like a headless chicken, or at least without anything resembling a plan.Luckily, it finishes off better with a nice twist. Well, this is a nice watch.

Nice transmigration, costume production
This is a nice transmigration, costume production with an interesting storyline. The summary should rather say that she has to mess with 5 men in order to obtain their beads, not marry. And she never becomes a female version of “Wei Xiao Bao”. I guess the one who wrote the summary didn't actually watch the production - or had some other glasses on than me.Acting wise this is difficult to rate. I know it’s set in the comical universe, but I did find FL too excessive in her speaking - or rather yelling to a point where my ears were bleeding, LOL, and body language. Not that I didn’t like her character because I did - it actually had a depth that is sometimes missing in short/comical productions. It was just too peppy for me.
I found that the “Moneymaking”-arc was too extensive and the “Bead”-arc underdeveloped (and that is what it should have been mostly about). The “Power struggle”-arc was good.
Well, if you need something funny, not angsty and with an interesting storyline, this is worth watching.

Nice, fast paced costume production (read alternative summary)
This is a nice costume production with decent actors and an entertaining and slightly romantic storyline.In the beginning I did have trouble deciding whether to love or slap this childish/peppy FL. Fortunately she grew up.
I loved the calm/supportive ML, but my favorite character was actually this wonderful Emperor. Well, if you like a fast and entertaining story, this is a nice watch.
Summary should rather be something like this:
Sheng Tao Tao is a princess that is unruly, arrogant and reckless. Her father, the Emperor, gives her a marriage to General Mo Li but she refuses to accept. When she once again messes up - unintentionally - at the Emperor’s birthday party, he punishes her by sending her to a province that is down and out. Although he officially puts the marriage on hold, she sends Mo Li with her, partly to secretly investigate a case surrounding a gold mine and partly to see if they would be able to get to know each other better and maybe even cultivate feelings.
On the way all their money is robbed, which sets in motion a string of events as they try to get used to living in this poor place and find that sinister forces are unwilling to let them stay. But this stubborn, money-grubbing and arrogant Princess isn’t prone to giving up without a good fight.
