Here Is My Exclusive Indulge (2021)

Could have been better if fleshed out

The editor literally put evythg at 1.5x speed

There are a lot of dramas with thin plots that are 25 to 40mins long, and 24episodes or more. Then heres one with a plot and two leads with gd visuals but on a 2-3min length for 34episodes. Do the math.

You hav a FL with a mom who has been duped and a horrible stepfather. But she doesnt cowers. Intelligent and courageous. Plus shes really pretty and cute and suited her role vy much. The ML lost quite a bit of weight aft recently watchin him in another drama. He has the chiseled good looks and suited the role with the cold aura. But surprise he can charm your socks off and becomes a natural flirt where the FL is concern. I thk you can count him on those that really put aside face to pursue what he wants.

Like i said someone came down with the decision for the length of this drama and hence some scenes are very choppy and skipped ahead a lil too much. It affected the continuity of it.

For what is worth it was enjoyable for a really quick watch.

Superbly sweet rom com short cliffhanger

The actors and actress portrayed the roles well. Actually it was way too short everything was put to end exactly at 5 minutes. Come on, they could add up some extra scenes on the film to make the drama more engaging to watch.

The chemistry between the leads are awesome. The story was quite written well.
The supporting characters don't have much screen time. The director focused only on the devolopment of the story of the leads. Some twist are missing like in the typical drama out there.

Though i feel really bad cause each episode end too soon such a cliffhanger. If there's a season two or a remake of this one i would love to rewatch it again. ?

A Refreshing mini series packed with entertainment

This does have spoiler sort of.. I saw the ad on Utube" as The disability CEO falls for the girl" and it caught my attention. While looking on *Tencent Video-Mini Drama* i found it all put together in one full scoop @ 1:40:27 in eng sub. The cast did an amazing job portraying there characters either good or bad and you could feel the chemistry between the ML/FL then naunnaun is the cutest. I really enjoy this mini drama (almost a movie) as it keep you entertained with the clumsy yet assertive xiangxiang who was brought up by her mom and money hungry sleaze bag of a step-father. She gets into an accident with Fu sihan a wealthy business man who's confined to a wheelchair and is smitten with her clumsiness. This is how there love story begins with how she protects her mom & assets against her stepfather and his evil family. While Sihan and his faithful assistance Chu he are silently helping and protecting her from behind. Chuhe is assertive, but funny with his comments and facial expressions. I read a few reviews and went back to read the description and then realized she went back in time and a few things made sence.. A great drama Enjoy???

An Example of the Worst Kind of Screenwriting

If you are able to make it through 33 episodes (albeit short format) without giving up in disgust, then the last episode might redeem this drama. The ML's performance, his assistant, and marginally the mother contributed to helping the story to survive. Even a couple of the 'villains' managed to be convincing in the badly written roles all these actors were given. To be fair, the worst role was the FL's character - so this is not a critique of the actress' skills, but of the part she was given to play.

What is it about these writers than insist on portraying women as brainless, immature, ridiculously shy and seemingly naive? Do Chinese women really admire these simpering, juvenile, childish stereotypes? They giggle and hide and overact to the point of ridicule. The costumers dress these women like children, which only adds to the cringey feel of the characters behaving like, looking like children - with these handsome, older male leads. It borders on almost perverted at times, especially in the romantic scenes where the ML is more aggressive, and the FL behaves like a child.

When the FL is written in this light, adding the trope of drinking till the character is wasted and almost unconscious, waking up in some man's (usually the ML) bed, and not remembering anything of the night before is an equally disturbing trend.

We, the viewers, long for well-written storylines that utilize the talents of so many of these actors/actresses. We welcome and relish positive stereotypes and realistic and intriguing plots that draw us in, not disgust nor disappoint. It seems to be getting worse in these mini dramas and micro dramas and that is a real disservice to the Chinese Drama genre and in particular, women.

I certainly cannot imagine that I watched the same drama that most of these reviews refer to. Except for that last episode that offered a modicum of dignity to the story, the FL's character in rest of the episodes was almost embarrassing to watch.

A very cute Drama

It is s a very cute and delightful drama. My only complaint is that is is a very short mini drama. Like the episode does not even last for 3 proper minutes. So much more could have been done with the story line and the story could have developed better if the series was a bit longer. Except that the drama was very nice.

Ok I am gonna complain a lot but then it is just because I hoped this would have actually happen. Coming to the complaining part, my first complaint is lack of proper character understanding and also......... the so called "villains" are just dumb ??. Ok this might have been because of the short plot and there I go again complaining about the length of the series. I just feel like if the series was longer we would be able to connect to the story properly.

There you go I am done with complaining, let us get to the good parts. The ML is such a flirt every time he sees the FL, its sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cutee?. Also the FL is very independent and strong and mostly does not even need the ML for help (p.s. Every girl should be their own hero and save themselves and also dont wait for your prince, be your own prince). Unlike many FL's who are vulnerable and there's always the ML to help her, here the FL learns to help herself most of the time.( No offense to the other FL's in other dramas) . Anyway it was a very nice drama .

Would i rewatch it?? Probably . But its a must watch for mood upliftment.

Also I forgot to mention, you will fall in love with the ost??.

Filmed manhua

Starting from the ridiculous and incomprehensible title,to the fortunately short episodes and the storyline adding one clishé after another ending with corny love speech, this is a mercifully short and a really fun watch!

It is the usual setting of rich CEOs and hairesses going through family dramas and fights over money and for power.

This story's only originality is the main male character who is it the wheelchair! And for once it is not presented as an ultimate tragedy. He happens to be handicapped (until the last minute when he miraculously regains his ability to walk!) but that does not mask the fact that he is smart and competent and always there when she is in a pickle! Female lead was also better than usual, not too much of a damsel in distress batting her eyelids and waiting to be saved, she was proactive and at least knew when someone was trying to take advantage of her.

Ah, the magic of manhua, the cold CEO with a hidden heart of gold wearing the ubiquitous pin striped suit (so ugly!) and the sweet cooky girl not letting anyone walk all over her and using the feminine wiles to give the bad guys their comeuppance! Every short episode seemed to be literally filmed episode of a manhua, without any special rewrite or editing involved in order to make it more palatable. But, just like mangas, I prefer reading over watching them: the things that happen in a book should be toned down for screen. Just my take on this issue!

The acting was mostly over the top, cinematography looked cheap, and sets seemed vulgar and bling bling(as in: Let me show everyone how rich I am!). And the music was a bit weird and inaudible mostly(copyright issues on youtube?).

I usually never watch c dramas: I can't stand the number of episodes but I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered these micro episodes dramas. This is the fourth one I watch, the novelty has worn off and I think this is going to be my last one. I want to stick to my principles!

Way better than expected!

It's a novel based, I've once read the comic version and didn't expect much but the main leads have very very Sweet Chemistry.

I like how main couple hv plenty of cute scenes irrespective of being a Mini drama. I wish it was a full length drama coz I really enjoyed their chemistry!

Story :-
Since it is rebirth and revenge, FL is strong and self-reliant. Male lead didn't intervene much in her matters & respect her.

His assistant, Chu He deserves a special mention for his humor. He added a special spark to the drama and also helped FL to learn fighting skills.

Cute and short

This was a cute short drama. That I liked. I can only find it on YouTube and the sound issues were really bad! But I got through it and I will put it as a rewatch.

Storyline - I actually liked. But it felt chopped up at only 2-4 minutes per episode. Other than that I thought it made for a sweet, short, kind of cheesy romance. Just wish the sound was better and it had a bit more to the storyline.

Actin/Cast - I thought they did well for what it was. The “Dad/Uncle” and his mistresses acting was a bit off for me. I think they needed to explain that whole situation better but I caught on to what was happening in the first few episodes. The main leads did a good job. I will have to look for more of them in the future.

Music - well… did not hear much of it due to the poor sound issues so I really cannot say if it was any good.

Rewatch - yes, I would because I am a sucker for the bite size romances when I am tired of the really long ones and want something fast to watch. I will keep looking for a better copy of it.
