A Fun Show, Just Don't Take It Too Seriously

This was my first mini-series, and honestly, it wasn't that bad.

Here's how the story goes: Qi Qi [played by Liu Xie Ning] is a manga character who has played many villainess roles throughout the years. However, when she enters the world of the manga "Night of Love With You", she accidentally ends up in the role of the female lead Luo Qing rather than the villainess and still has her own conscious, meaning she could act upon her own will. And when the male lead is out of the picture, she makes the most of what she has and tries to get the story back on track in order to reset everything and get back into the villainess role.

The plot of the show seems straight out of a webtoon, so much so that I'm surprised it wasn't an adaptation of anything. The story itself isn't mindblowing nor was it unique, but there is something about it that makes it special.

It's pretty obvious that the show had a relatively low budget. Sets/locations are reused, the OST consisted of maybe 3 songs in total, the editing was lackluster at points, the acting was subpar, etc. There were definitely scenes that would have benefited from just having the cast film another take.

However, even with its limitations, the show made the most of what it had. The story itself was interesting and kept our attention. They knew when to slow down the plot and when to amp up the conflict. Since each episode was only 9-15 minutes long, they knew what scenes were important to include for the overall story to make sense. Yes, there were some inconsistencies and hand-wavy things, but as a whole, it was a fun watch.

Don't take the show too seriously and enjoy it for what it is.
