Little gem with really good actors, interesting characters, an exciting storyline and no fillers.

This is a great little gem with really good actors, interesting characters, an exciting storyline and no fillers. I liked this strong and sensible FL (a rabbit fairy) and this powerful and cunning ML. Their love story was heartwarming and even if the chemistry wasn’t off the roof, it was good enough for a short and mostly lighthearted story like this.
The short format was fitting and nothing felt rushed, although an open ending always will be somewhat abrupt. I hope there will be a season 2 one day.
So, if you love a good romantic fantasy show - with some twists and turns - this is definitely well worth watching.

Hilarious soul-swapping short show

This one had me switching between slapping my knees and drying off my tears of laughter. It was that funny to start with. Later on it had its serious moments as the story deepend. It was sometimes too fast paced - except for the scene where the Prince rides past FL (ep 1 before soul-swapping), which was in slow-motion, LOL, but luckily it’s possible to slow down the pace of the video. The storyline was interesting and the way the two interact and fall in love with each other while helping the other part in (for ML) discovering the truth and (for FL) achieve a lifelong goal is heartwarming.
Character wise:
FL is a kind but headstrong young woman who’s only wish is to marry the Crown Prince.
ML is one of four outstanding assassins who falls into a conspiracy involving the royal family and the most powerful minister.
2ML is a kind and clever Crown Prince who has his own agenda.
FLs father must be the most supportive I’ve seen so far. He is so sweet and fights for what his daughter wants in life, “If there is anything unhappy in your heart, pour all the bitter water to dad” had my heart bleeding.
Acting wise this is pretty good and the way the two main leads play their roles is very, very well. Only thing is that the actress playing FL is very good in portraying a male but as a woman it was a bit lacking, perhaps due to the directing and the fact that she actually wasn’t that feminine to begin with (the role not the actress).
So, if you love a good soul-swapping romantic comedy, this is a “Must Watch”.

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.

Wonderful fantasy costume production

This is a wonderful fantasy costume production with great actors and a storyline that keeps you engaged in the love story between a human and an immortal spirit. The story is heartwarming, funny, mysterious and a little heart wrenching.
So if you love a mostly lighthearted, good fantasy love story with some twists and turns, this is definitely well worth watching.

The summary should have rather been something like this:
FL is the future immortal spirit Queen but that causes her to be quite lonely. One day she wishes for a friend and meets ML, a human boy. In order to save him, she gives him her spirit Orb, breaking the rules of her race. So, 10 human years later, she goes to find the now grown man - only to find that he is now a fierce spirit hunter and that retrieving the Orb isn’t that simple. To have a chance to retrieve it, she has to join the organization of spirit hunters he is a part of, starting a wonderful love story.

A small in-novel gem

This is one of these small gems I am sometimes lucky to stumble upon. It’s a great in-novel costume story with a funny and interesting storyline. The actors are really good and the chemistry between the leads is great - as are the kisses. I truly enjoyed this. So, be sure not to miss out on this one.

SYNOPSIS - SPOILER ALERT!!!
FL is reading a novel she has been following for a while. This time the writer announces that it won’t be continued, due to the lack of inspiration, and encourages the reader to make up their own ending to the story. Still angry about wasting her time on the story and sorry about not getting an ending for her favorite female character, she opens an envelope that turns out to contain only a Wonderful Travel Certificate. Still annoyed, she goes to sleep with the certificate lying on her chest.
Next she wakes up in a bed with an unknown man lying beside her. Confronting him and exploring the room, she finally realizes that she has somehow transmigrated into the novel. After sending him off, she tries to get back home by going to sleep. When it doesn’t work, she decides to go to the brothel to stop her Prince Consort (ML) performing there. Something her character in the novel, the Princess, supposedly ordered him to before FL entered the body. Since she is now stuck in this body and world, she wants to try and change the destiny of her character, which is to be killed by the Prince Consort (ML).
Her change in personality and actions stirs up things and soon she is balancing on a knife’s edge, between the Queen Dowager, ML and a mysterious man (2ML) with whom the Princess seems to have a deeper relationship. Piece by piece she has to solve the puzzle of her character, while trying to get on the good side of ML.
Not spoiling too much, this has a happy ending.

Nice little short show

Sadly, this must be one of the more boring comedies I’ve seen - at least the middle part. I have seen the cast before, so I know they are good actors, but the comical part is somehow off - or it cannot decide whether to be a comedy or a romance, so it lands in the middle. As a Danish saying goes, it’s neither bird nor fish.
I admit that the last third was pretty good (great twist) so I’m glad I stuck with it and had myself some good laughs every now and then. It also had some nice character developments which is somewhat rare in these short format shows.
Character wise:
FL is a strong but simple (borderline oblivious) woman in search of a certain pill to save her father.
ML is a cunning and calculating thief who wants to rob the place.
Acting wise these are good actors but the directing or storyline lets them down a bit.
Well, if you have some time to burn - and like the cast - this is a nice watch.
