When the Phone Rings from Shein

I've lost many count for how many Chinese vertical short drama adapted their Shein version of K-Drama. Some of them are too chopped to watch even compared to original one but i want to say it slightly better on duanju terms but below average of the original one.

Personally i like how the drama focused on relationship between FL and ML and also the kidnapper backstory compare to following all the original one who focused on FL family backstory. Both actors had very decent chemistry but duration and the plot trimmer make their dynamic duo has not been shown on the drama.

Recommended to watch for once

Another nice premises with lack of resource.

I watched this is since i want to see other Deng Yanni works. The plot is quite interesting about ML who was married to FL family since his family are consider poor in 90's ans he is breadwinner in family since his father was bedridden.
It was rare to see matrilineal marriage but i see FL was quite not tiger woman rather than she only has strong physical compared to ML who is handy and genius.

I like how ML brothers first dislike FL for being one who had more authorized than ML but they are slowly attached to FL since they are being used by ML only sister.

ML sister was the weird one since she envy FL for getting ML attention and want to destroy FL.
The chemistry between FL and ML is lukewarm.

Recommend to watch for once.

Still enjoy it but Plot are too inconsistent

I was watching another A Shang collaboration with Ming Chuan and the collaboration feel too flat so i tried to watch this to compare it and i am quite liking this drama more than the one i first watch,

The Plot is about FL who transmigrated to FL who was on her coffin while her step mother and step sister wants to throw he coffin into cliff. FL was awake and step mother& step sister thinks she was ghosted. Without any idea, she run away afraid she would be killed again. For her runaway, FL saved old woman and to thank her she wanted to arranged marriage for his grandson. On the night, FL found child and take him home. Without her know the child was actually ML who was crown regent.

Plot is quite mess and inconsistent. They didn't focused on FL and ML relationship progression but i quite enjoy their dynamic duo as friend. There is less romance scene but even without the romance scene.

Recommended to watch only once.

Everything is flat in this drama.

I quite like A Shang and tried to watch her drama. I don't familiar with Ming Chuan so its my first ever drama i ever see from him.

The Plot is about FL trust wrong person and accidentally poisoned his husband aka ML and she is being killed by SML. and SFL. She get reborn and try take revenge to SML and SFL.

The chemistry and dynamic duo between A Shang and Ming Chuan is barely exist and there is not too much romantic moment. Even for revenge drama the FL is not to witty and messed up her own plan until ML helps him.

The ending is not powerful so everything about this drama is too flat.

Not really recommend to watch for general public.

Without Han Yutong, i would dropped this drama fast.

I watch this drama because of Han Yutong and Zeng Hui and may it only one of their drama that being saved from Youtube takedown. For plot quality its full of light comedy and the quality is still lack (My least favorite are them with children drama).

The plot is generic about FL who was substitute lover got her contract ends as ML lover comes. FL pretends to being sad for ML while actually happy since she got money. FL wants to divorce but getting rejected by ML grandpa. There is bickering couple scene was begin.

Actually the only highlight of this drama is Han Yutong cheerful and witty remark (I like when she spitting ML to shut him up) to keep me watching until the end. I don't enjoy SML and SFL backstory since they are quite dragging and snoozefest.

Only recommended for CP drama.

Watch it for Ma Lejie only.

I watch it because i enjoy of Ma Lejie acting skills and actually not to fond of Xie Hongxin acting. But the plot seems promising about Older Woman-Younger Brother romance.

The plot is about FL who got his soon to be ex had affair with her best friend. Broken hearted she got one night stand with ML, FL though he was prostitute so she paid him and ask him to not meet anymore while ML wants to close to FL.

For the chemistry, i wont say they didn't have chemistry but it feels so lukewarm for younger brother romance or I should said Ma Lejie acting skill is far superior than Xie Hongxin while actual plot was written to make ML shine. There is no angst scene but few of plot was not necessary to add.

The ending is not memorable and quite lacking for everything. Only suggest to watch once.

I'm not having it with the plot.

I remember i had watched the same plot with Wang Bo as the Male Lead (I quite forget the Female Lead name) and seeing Ma Lejie and Liang Siwei took this script i want to see what is the difference.

The Plot is basically about FL who want to divorce ML due his indifference behaviour to her and to her surprised she was pregnant. The tug of war drama is finally started.

First of all i quite like Ma Lejie acting as heiress and she is quite hardworking but she lacks of dignity when she fall in love with ML. Liang Siwei acting was fine but i don't like how inconsistent writer wrote ML character (just like Wang Bo version since they are basically same script). Actually the problem was communication and the misunderstanding is quickly solved while they pushed more tug of war to make another male lead who pursue FL (the younger one aka 3ML is unnecessary for me).

Only recommend to watch only one. Even if you are fan of both of the actor.

The editing in this drama is sucks.

I quite waiting Han Yutong with her non CP drama and there is one of most waiting drama since they released almost half a year due lack of production cost. Never heard of Qiu Hong Kai, This my first drama with him.

First, Han Yutong has good chemistry with Qiu Hong Kai. Qiu Hong Kai is quite brave on their kiss scene despite being minimalize and cut by the editor. The romance between older woman-younger man was pleasing to watch, the tempo is not too fast but never too slow. And there is no childish hindrance between the couple.

I quite like how they show the plagiarism accused from SFL to FL while FL was collecting evidence to prove her innocence.

My biggest concern in this drama, they show bad editing since few of scene was being jumped and make viewer confused. (It was obviously the reason this drama was getting halted for a while). FL father was being unreasonable at all.

If the editing was decent, i would rate this drama 7.5.

Its literally same as their title and got nice ending.

I watched this since i was fond of Peng Yao acting despite everyone criticism for her ponytail hairstyle. Jin Jun Liang is basically on his field being best scumbag SML. The kiss scene between Duan Meiyang and Peng Yao was only few scenes. The chemistry is obviously show on entire drama.

The Plot is about FL accepted SML confession on his victory against other school basketball team while ML was seen everything while he want to give FL love letter. Years later three of them met again, FL and SML was on airplane and ML was being their pilot. There is sick person on airplane, FL was doctor want to save person while ML didn't like FL profession. FL save the person and ML was pilot want to give award to her. They met again when ML was going first for business issue leaving FL alone and waiting for taxi.

I quite like the slow pace about ML pursuing FL and the way drama show FL being trapped and rarely smile when she with SML and FL smiles when she nears ML without being realized she is infatuated by ML.

The FL parents is pain in ass, I hate them for forcing FL to being SML despite SML disrespect attitude.

The ending is quietly nice and wished they show FL and ML marriage scene. SFL and SML got their deserve ending. Quite like SFL character progression realizing when realizing SML never love anyone but himself.

Recommend to watch slow burn romance.

Nice ending with crap plot.

I watched it on my first time of watching short drama. I love Bai Yan and she suited damsel of distress FL. Lu Dandong has scumbag image in my eye so his acting as ML is quite good.

The plot is about FL sister who was entrusted her husband and their children to FL since she know FL was in love with FL and they have an affair. FL sister didn't have any time since she got terminal cancer and died. And the roller coaster between FL and ML was begin.

For my view, FL, ML and FL sister was not good person. The ending is well deserve for everyone even i thought FL should redeem herself too.

Generic plot with forced ending.

I was on Song Yujia festival and decide to watch without seeing her Male Lead name. Huang Haowen usually plays sweet and noble Male Lead and tried to challenge himself by playing scumbag Male Lead.

The plot is usual about FL who was tired for ML indifference to her when they are married and want to divorce him. ML was her sponsor on TV News and want to stand by herself and there is SML who helps her to get another sponsor since ML was sponsored his mistress instead.

Unfortunately, Huang Haowen and Song Yujia did't have chemistry. But i feel bad for SML, his backstory was being wasted by inconsistent FL. The ending was expected but it feels too forced since ML didn't redeem himself. I don't like the ending absolutely.
