Fun Little Palate Cleanser

This silly little drama is wonderful for when you're in between more serious, longer shows and wan to watch something cute before you start something new. The episodes are very short- about 5 minutes per instalment- and that makes it good to just binge and relax for a bit. It's very tropey, but that goes with the territory for this sort of show. It's more an adorable parody of the stereotypical transmigration drama, and thus it's infinitely more forgivable.

My only real Gripe with the show is that our heroine is meant to be a music major, but for the most part the music is forgettable and the only reason to watch the two big musical productions at the end is because they're plot relevant. Beware, those viewers who are easily susceptible to secondhand embarrassment, because while the show is cute and funny overall, the musical sections can definitely trigger it.

But for being a small time parody drama, the acting was superb. Both Wang Haoxuan and Tu Zhiying have done a fantastic job with their portrayals, and where other actors might have seen the silliness of the premise and given half-assed, lackluster performances for the paycheck, neither of them have done that here. Even though the episodes were short, their chemistry was amazing. I'd also like to give a special shoutout to Yan Zixian for his wonderful job acting as my most favorite character in this drama, Liu Lin. I hope to have the time to check out his other projects soon!

Overall, the best part of this drama is it's rewatchability for it's shortness and cute plot. I plan to rewatch many times.
