The Most Beautiful You in the World (2021)

Game concept dubbing circle? typical met from childhood couple, short and sweet but not perfect.

[Plot-wise ]
It started out great, the plot was paced right and it was interesting to see how they do dubbing like a game where all the people could gather and listen to how they do character voicing.
Its actually much more interesting than the other drama (which did dubbing as the theme as well)
however, as this drama's production felt a bit low budget(and it was hard to get the source to watch it), it might not be as "full/abound" and each episode is only 30+ mins. towards the 2nd half of the drama, the scenes/editing of it became choppy, the story felt like it was in a rush to end/wrap up loose ends. Overall, there is still cute moments between the casts. Good as a filler drama in between all your overly-dramatic pieces =)

[Cast]
FL - I've seen her in [Dragon Day, You're Dead] but her acting was little bit stiff, but in this drama she improved a lot!
ML - Very dashing and a diff kind of charm...you might think he is the usual "cold/aloof" male leads, but he is totally not! first few eps is a deceit xDD he is actually kinda cute esp towards the FL. His acting with FL while doing dubbing was totally commendable.
Others - The other actors/actresses acting was decent but not super great.

[Romance]
Romance - ML/FL got together between epi 13-15...Chemistry was not too bad.
Dont expect huge amounts of kisses or deep kiss, but expect many cute moments (those actually compensate it xD)
2 pairs of very cute side couples (eyecandies alert!!)

Voice dubbing in an online drama meets real life

Didnt hold much expectation for this drama in the start because there were many voice dubbing dramas already and the kinda tired of the plot . This one was surprisingly good ! I really enjoyed it. This one was interesting in the sense that they had this online forum/ voice dubbing hangout spot online and voice dub a famous novel. The male and female lead would voice dub for the main characters in the novel, which made it a story within in story. The novel was located in the ancient times.

The male lead has a crush on a girl in his childhood. In his childhood he once ran away from home due to his family being to busy. The female lead's family take him in. The male lead ends up going back to his family and they lose contact. The male lead always remember and wants to find her. He finally finds her in the online voice dubbing forum. The male lead happens to be the xiao cao, aka the handsomest guy in school. The female lead and her best friend are in journalism major and has to try to interview the male lead.

Overall I enjoyed most of the drama esp the side story of the novel and their characters. I forgot to mention that the female lead didnt know the male lead was a powerful/well known voice dubber. When it was finally revealed that the male lead was her idol voice dub actor, it wasnt too exciting.

This drama had no unnecessary evil characters or drama which was good! I think they ended the voice dubbing novel to early. That focus was my main enjoyment. My interest of the drama dropped slightly after that ended...
