Nice short revenge-plot story

This is a nice little revenge-plot story with a fairly simple storyline. The only thing missing is some romance since there is very little - and a couple of kisses would have been nice.
Character wise:
FL is a strong woman thirsty for revenge on the family members who are behind her parents and grandmother's deaths. She accidentally ends up entangled with ML.
ML is a nice and clever man who falls in love with FL, so he makes her quest for revenge his goal too.
Acting wise this is pretty good, but I felt zero chemistry between the leads. Perhaps because the romance-arc was so weak compared to the revenge-arc.
Well, if you like a short story with a strong revenge-plot, this is worth watching.

Short and sweet mini-show with interesting storyline

This is a nice mini-show. The storyline might start off simple but as in many C-stories, some drama is introduced towards the end. This is no different, but it does make the story more interesting and even a bit exciting.

Short, funny and sweet romantic costume drama

This is a funny and sweet romantic costume drama. The storyline is interesting and even a bit exciting. I loved ML’s brother’s character and the strong FL that never wavered.
Character wise:
FL is a sweet and strong woman who is an assassin. She snatches a mission from a colleague but accidentally loses part of it so she misunderstands it as a kill-mission and not a protection-mission as it was meant to be.

Acting wise this is good and everybody does a good job within the limited timeframe.

Fantasy mini-show with intersting storyline

This is a really nice mini-show. The storyline is funny, interesting and romantic - and a bit sad too.
Character wise:
FL is a peppy princess that is set to inherit the throne since both her brothers - due to a conspiracy - are deemed unsuited to be emperor.
ML is a mysterious man that approaches and marries the FL with his own agenda.
Acting wise this is set in a comical tone so the acting might sometimes be a little exaggerated. I believe that is what the show is aiming for. The main couple are really nice to watch and I appreciate that they are not mainstream actors (overly thin and beautiful/handsome).
Well, if you like something short and funny - with a twist in the end - this is actually worth watching.

Sweet and enjoyable short show

This is a funny and romantic short show. The storyline might not be new and refreshing, but it is entertaining.
Character wise:
FL is the author of a novel. She is smart and resourceful. She somehow enters the novel as a side character when she wants to change the course of the story.

Very good revenge-plot/crime solving short show

This is a very good revenge-plot/crime solving short show. The storyline is intriguing and contains a lot of twists and turns as the FL tries to unravel what happened 2 years earlier. Frankly, it kept me focused and guessing all the way to the end. I was right in most of my guesses but there were a few things I got wrong or didn’t foresee. Just the way I like it, LOL.
Character wise:
FL is a strong and tenacious actress who was framed and targeted multiple times when she returned after a 2 year absence from the entertainment industry. She is adamant to find the truth.

Odd vampire/love story

I’m not quite sure what I just watched. The storyline was pretty straightforward except for the twist in the end - which I don’t know exactly how to interpret. It was like the show didn’t know whether to be a comedy or a vampire story so it landed somewhere in between - and not in the good way. I found myself skipping along the way because it was kind of boring.
Character wise:
FL is a vampire that despite her being that, is unable to fight other vampires. Perhaps she is too kind and sweet. ML is a movie director who is a scammer but also quite street-smart.
Acting wise this is pretty good but the directing made the characters odd and borderline silly.
Well, if you are into either love or vampire stories, this is not interesting enough. If you have some time to waste, this is an ok watch.

Ok mini-show with a diffent storyline than most mini-shows

This is an ok mini-show. The storyline is quite simple but different from a lot of other mini-shows out there. The editing could have been better but that’s to be expected.
Character wise:
FL is a sweet and kind young woman who is supposed to marry the Water God.
ML is the Water God and he is gentle and loving. Marrying a human woman is his destiny as well as hers.

Low budget love story that won't rock you world

This is one of these countless low budget productions that overflow the entertainment market at the moment. Quite frankly, it doesn’t stand out in any way - and not just because of the ridiculous auto-generated english subs.
The love story goes from 0 to 100 in a split second but nobody reacts to a proposal like that (ep 17) if they really love the man in front of them.
Acting wise this is mediocre (for the most part) even if ML seems to be somewhat talented. I think I’ve seen him before in these productions (on YouTube) that have no real name.
FL seems ok when acting alone but the scenes with ML feels awkward and lacks any chemistry. It doesn’t help that there is a substantial height difference that makes FL look like a child beneath the towering ML.
Well, if you have some time to spare - and don’t mind the low budget feel - this is an ok watch.

More silly than funny game-themed mini-show

This is a not so funny mini-show. The storyline of a young man logging into a game sounded interesting. In the game he gets missions and rewards. That part worked fine even if the text on-screen wasn’t translated in the version I saw. The missions themselves are sometimes interesting but they somehow got boring and I ended up skipping just to finish. It does get more interesting towards the end but not enough to salvage the show for me at least.
I guess the cast had fun shooting the show, but only a fraction of the fun actually comes across the screen since it gets more silly than funny. What must have been a funny script is ruined by exaggerated acting, silly characters and way too rushed format.
Well, if you like these short shows you might find this a little entertaining, but my advice is to find something better.

A small hidden body-swap gem

This is one of these small hidden gems I sometimes stumble upon. The storyline might not be unique or new, but the execution of the story is great. It is kept lighthearted and funny.
Character wise we get this Emperor that is somewhat cold and indifferent towards his Empress who is a bit of a troublemaker especially in regards to the managing of the harem where the Emperor's favorite concubine rules. When the Emperor and Empress switch bodies they have to rely on each other to get through their everyday life and the Court affairs.
Acting wise this is pretty good. It takes some skill to portray (believably) a character of the opposite gender and the main actors possess that. There is also development of the main characters which is good, given the limited timeframe.
So, if you love a good body-swap comedy, with lots of funny moments, this is definitely well worth watching.
