Parallel universe , mystery try to solve plus romance?
Right off the back, this mini drama gives me the vibes of someday or oneday.. This drama is portrayed as a parallel universe/time traveling/ inside a anime book. The concept is interesting but the story does not really develop too well and i dont like how each episode is cut into 12 mins long. ( minus the beginning and ending song, each chapter is like 10 mins long? ) Youtube has all episodes but no subs yet..The female lead , one day hears from her professor about the mysterious disappearance of a student named Zhang Yu Bo in 1999. Coincidentally she finds Zhang Yu bo 's anime he drew in the library and somehow mysteriously transport herself in his anime. She and the male lead ( Zhang yu bo's ) first appearance was she landing on Zhang Yu Bo , while they were in the boys dorm. At first she doesnt know what happen , but quickly catches on that she has transport back into time. She wants to know what happened to him and help him discover the mystery. The female lead is the best at trying to find out what happens. She falls in love with Zhang yu bo but he thinks she is some psycho/ has psychological issues. He tries to cure her lol. He thinks she has two personality. One is bubbly , loud and cute the other is stone cold and no emotions. When the female lead transports to the novel she has her bubble characteristic, but when she goes back to the modern days, inside the story there is also the same character except she is stone cold and not much emotion.
The real mystery of this story was kind of a let down . I think all along we kinda could guess who the creeper was/ who as behind it all. It would of been more interesting for them to discover the fact then we be able to see it happen and already knew who it was. Also the end part was kinda a let down too.. like at the end a natural disaster destroys the library.....
The romance of this drama .... i wouldnt say its the strongest... didnt feel the chemistry as much, or the passion. The friendship of this drama is nice.

Addictive!!!
The friendships between all four characters were spot on and I never knew what was going to happen. That itself made the series very addictive (I finished it in 2 or 3 days).Li Yi Tong was spot on the entire time; she's badass, rough around the edges, yet grows and show her vulnerable side more as the series progresses. Li Jie was kind of a nuisance at the beginning, but later shapes into a more responsible, character (yet still maintains his boyishness). Zhang Yubo is a little cold at the beginning, yet his transforms into a more caring one as his friendship/relationship progresses with Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu was the only character I did not like as much relative to the other three. She kind of getting herself mixed up between pursuing Yubo and trying to save him at the beginning. She makes Yubo the center of her universe too much and is annoying was she cried/gets upset. However, I did like how Xiao Jie showed determination as the series progressed.
Nevertheless, there were a few things that I did not like.
1. It was predictable that Fatty was up to no good almost the entire time.
2. I wish the drama between Yi Tong and her mom was played out more.
3. The end was a little confusing imo
Definitely would recommend this to someone that is looking for something just a little different (but not super different)

One of the good short drama, but the ending... I wish for a few min more to make this drama has the best ending possible... This short drama has almost complete story, This has beginning, middle and almost the perfect ending.... Unfortunately this drama close the curtain with something hanging in the air. Yeah I know they give us preview about what the ending, but if only the actual ending where Zhang Yu Bo really meet Xiao Jiu, it's gonna be perfect...
This drama begin with Xiao Ju (XJ) keep dreaming about a boy that have accident. She doesn't know who is this boy, or why she keep dreaming about him. But one day through her professor she finally know this boy name, which Zhang Yu Bo (YB) the boy who was missing. One day XJ found a book in the library, a book about YB & one day by magic she entering the book, while her consciousness inside the book her body is sleeping in real life.
In the book XJ finally meet YB & try her way to be as close as possible to YB, cause she think that she sent to the book world to save YB from missing. She manage to be a 'crazy' girl that try to persue YB. But one day she accidentally pull back to real world. And while she come back to real life, the XJ in the book world back to herself, turn out the personality of the XJ in the book world & XJ in real life is very contradictory. And that finally what make YB pay attention to XJ.
At first YB though XJ has double personality, but the more YB become closer to real life XJ, the more attract he is with the real life XJ. And from there on they feeling keep growing to each other, and of course naturally they finally become couple. & YB since then also believe the word that real life XJ said that she come from the future.
The story become more interesting with real life XJ friend that also come along with her to the book world, Lian Jie (LJ). And his story is more interesting you can say... Because the book LJ is turn out to be a little bit sissy & quite hilarious when they transform from one to each other. & to make thing more complicate of course LJ also has to find the love in the book world.
See the story is quite unique & interested. But unfortunately the ending is kinda incomplete.... Well I write pretty much spoiler, I don't want to spoiler a little more to messed the whole experience for you. So I gonna stop writing here. Just watch by yourself to know the ending that I mean. Or you can message me to know it...

No Thank You
It started with a fine story but then you did not know if the writer was turning the story into a mystery or suspense. It was out of control with so many different things happening and back and forth but not sure if it was time or the comic book. The relationship between the ML and FL made no sense, no chemistry. Each characters was not really able to develop a story of themselves because the writer did not give time to really get to know each character. These are young actors but they need a better scrip to be able to show what they could do. Better direction could have also help.Was this review helpful to you?
