Short & Simple but Funny & Cute Drama
One has to remember; this is a web drama. It's only a 5-7 min per episode so you can't really expect much on a very short series. If you want to watch something with more involving around the plot or gives you something more then watch a drama that has at least 45 mins in each episode.That being said, I enjoyed this series. It does involve messing with time or in this case a time loop but for me personally, this writer wrote it pretty well. It's almost to the level of my favorite time loop drama Reset. It presented with a problem and then through each episode our leads try to figure out how to get out of this time loop. I think it's pretty sweet when the reasoning is revealed on why the time loop occurred.
Lots of funny moments with cute and jealousy scenes. The ML's character is so prideful and bigheaded. lol. He thinks that he's handsome (I mean he's not wrong), and everyone loves him (he's wrong here LOL), which is so funny to me. The FL's character is just funny & adorable overall. She's almost like the brains to this, as it starts with her being stuck in this loop as she tries to figure things out.
There wasn't a lot of music in this, mostly just background music to certain scenes so this drama does lose some points for that based on this rating
Besides that, if you're looking for something to watch but don't have much time to watch a full 45min-1hour episode, I definitely recommend this drama. It's short and simple and gets to the point because of that. Definitely a rewatch for me.

Cute leads and funny banter.
First off, I love the ML. I can’t believe he’s so young! Every time he smiles, my heart melts. His dimples are simply swoon worthy.The chemistry between the two leads is great and the “thoughts” that are revealed to the audience adds to the hilarity of each episode.
It’s a mini romantic comedy with a pinch of mystery to add to the plot. If you are having seconds thoughts-erase them and give it a shot! You won’t regret it!!
Though I’m not done with the series, I would definitely rewatch it simply for the interactions and banter between the main leads.

I liked this one!
I am not one for time-loop or similar dramas, but this one had me hooked from the beginning to the end! I could not wait for Tencent to up load them! They were not fast enough.Storyline - kind of, in a way, remainders me of “What’s Up With Secretary Kim” at first. Over worked secretary tired of bossy boss man’s wants to resign, but with a time-loop twist. I really liked this one. Was well done for my taste. Like a said above, it kept my interest and I could not wait for them to be uploaded.
Acting/Cast - the NL had such a cute smile but that aside I think he did a great job along with the FL. They did great. Loved both of them.
Rewatch - Yes! Added to my favorites.

Good drama to finish in 2hrs
So bored as I don't know what to watch, and this drama popped out in my YouTube recommendation. At first, I'm confused why it was 2 hrs, but it's a combined video in one.The drama was not bad. I like the girl. She's so cute and honestly, both of them are a good match. Still shocked how the male is only 20 yrs old. Like look how tall he is... And the female is 28yrs old. I like the drama overall, I just wish THE KISSING SCENE WAS more of a kissing scene.
Like close your mouth or like make them touch more.... Please and thank you.
I like how they went straight to the point.
Nice and simple to drama to watch if you have nothing to watch. Lol.

"I am the chosen one!"
I have to admit to having surrendered to chinese dramas! I never wanted to but these short dramas managed to put their claws into me and now I cannot break free. Especially when I just watched this cute gem of a mini drama!I Want To Resign Every Day is a perfect blend of two K dramas: What's Wrong With Secretary Kim and A Good Day To Die. The first one for the relationship between the self centered high maintenance boss and his long suffering and highly competent secretary while the second one offers the original take on groundhog day time loop and the comedy stemming from it.
This one is a high production value drama, well filmed and written. The plot moved on swiftly without any wrong points or plotholes. The solution was perfectly executed. The actors were amazing: they looked like the carbon copies of WWWSK cast though the ML was so much better: and that single dimple is to die for. (I am shallow, sue me!)
The writers managed to create a smooth flowing story where the two main characters grow and change faced with the challenges of the time loop. It was so nice to see the ML going from a jerk(hence the title!) to a human being and the FL admitting that he had a nice side as well beside being a jerk! Everything was nicely wrapped into a layer of not too cringy comedy.
If somebody recommended this to me as a movie, I probably would not have accepted to watch as I'd be scared of limited time and the lack of character and story develpment. But this is actually a movie. The producers did a great job editing all the episodes together so much so that the transitions from one episode to the next are invisible!
This is a great watch if you have a little time and need a palate cleansing after a heavy or a boring drama. (I had just finished Sherlock: The Untold Stories which was boring unfortunately and this is the right cure!)

The pettiness is delicious
I actually came across the omnibus version of this randomly on YouTube, a total 2hr 40mins+. It was time well spent.I won't go into the nuts and bolts of the story but it involves time loops a la Groundhog Day and a mystery to be solved.
The ML is perfect in his role of narcissistic, self involved, annoying boss and the FL does justice to her role of long serving and overworked assistant. There are many times I felt like yeeting my phone through the screen at the boss.
The two were hilarious in their interactions and made the run of the mill story fun.
If you like What's Wrong with Secretary Kim or similar stories this will be right up your alley.
I'll definitely give this one a rewatch down the road, especially for the pettiness.

Good chemistry and interesting plot, but overall nothing special
Quick and easy, finished this in less than 3 hours. It's just your run-of-the-mill low budget web drama. Nothing sticks out like a sore thumb, nor is it anything special amongst a sea of very similar dramas. The time loop plot is quite interesting and I do like the execution of it. But the mystery/thriller part feels very out-of-place.The leads have good chemistry and they look good together. ML is handsome and quite young (21 years old). He reminds me of a younger and less chiseled Dai Gao Zheng, though we didn't see his abs. FL is a very experienced actress and has appeared in many dramas. The acting is decent, and nothing is too cringey.
However, it has the usual things that I don't like in a Chinese drama - accidental falls/kiss/tripping in slow motion & poorly dubbed voices. The kisses are disappointing. I was really expecting more because censorship is usually a little more relaxed for these short web dramas. At least the male lead is not drowned in white foundation and white filter. He actually appears normal and good-looking.
Overall, it's OK. I can't really rate this as if it's a high budget production. A 7.0 seems about right.

Just a short, fun little ride
Honestly, I just came in with no expectations, I knew it was a short little web series so I know this was not going to be a seriously good drama or anything. I just wanted something short, quick, and cute and that's what I got. The acting and the plot could be a bit silly at times but if you just want something that is a very easy watch that moves a bit quickly, this is the drama for you. I don't have anything else to really say. A time loop drama in this short little format was very interesting so it kept my interests piqued and it resolved quickly enough that I was satisfied. Our ML and FL had enough chemistry to keep things cute and entertaining as well.Was this review helpful to you?
Cute Web Drama
This is my 2nd Web Drama, although it is 21 episodes long - longer than the first web drama I watched - but it is still quite interesting and refreshing. The 2 male and female lead actors are really cute together. From what I have read, the male lead is relatively new - not much under his belt, but he did a good job (in my personal opinion) for this web drama. Lesser "drama" compared to the normal series, but if you want to just catch something short and sweet, I would say this would be a good one to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Poor sound, editing and acting
I came across this last night and started watching it without knowing anything about it. Initially it gave off a What's Wrong with Secretary Kim -vibe, but then moved to Groundhog Day. Secretary Bai wanted to resign because she hated her boss with a passion but was frustrated by being stuck in a time loop and reliving the same day over and over again. She learns how to anticipate the needs of everyone because she's already lived each circumstance of the day. It's a cute premise, but not well-executed. The sound production is awful! The sound cuts out suddenly periodically, sometimes it becomes loud, and often the voices sound like they are coming from a tunnel. The "special effects" with the elevator were awful. The way it was edited was odd too. Sometimes we saw how she changed things, sometimes we didn't. Quick cutaways that were jarring "oh, I guess we're moving on". It really felt like I was watching a movie of an amateur that had some free time and just decided to make a movie.The ML was a complete narcissistic jerk. Apparently, he acted the way he did because he's liked his secretary all this time...sure, it makes sense to make her life a living hell, that'll prove you like her.
I do have to say that the last 10-15 minutes of it are cute, once his true feelings are known.

Stayed up until 3am to binge this, loved it, no regrets!!
I wanted to find a super short drama to stall myself from finishing my main one, and omg this hit the spot.I LOVED IT. It's like What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, with a pinch of Reset and Start-Up references: all the dramas I "grew up" with. Chances are if you like those, and want to see the alternate universe happy ending for Han Ji Pyeong, THIS is your answer (I actually was on the Nam Do San team too!!). The couple and their interactions, as well as the story, I loved everything about it.
I had to question myself if Kim Seon Ho decided to act in a Chinese web drama because the male lead looks so much like him even down to his expressions and mannerisms! I appreciate the little Start-Up easter eggs sprinkled in near the end as it seems the crew behind this drama acknowledged it as well. The female lead is also super cute and easy to watch. She did very well, and her character wasn't frustrating to watch at all.
I'm also a sucker for the early 2010 kdrama tropes (again, that legendary secretary kdrama!), so this tied the knot on it very prettily. I actually think I like this one more, it doesn't drag and they paced everything perfectly. Super impressed.
High chance I'll rewatch it again because their scenes are so cute, and there's plenty throughout, even each episode, because of the time loop :)
