Inside out drama version
Long time want to watch this drama, especially cause of the cute cells. Finally this year decided to watch for my Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge. Good drama, but unfortunately leave unpleasant feeling in our heart when they close the curtain. Fortunately at the time that I watch this, they already has 2nd season to continue the story. But I think I'll gonna watch this next year for another Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge. Haha...The drama is really cute with all the cells involve, like watching inside out but more complicated feeling & emotion. Story about a woman named Kim Yu Mi (YM) & all the emotion that lives in her, and later on also we can see Ku Woong (KW) emotion. The really story quite close to the reality of our life, so we easily attach to it.
A little reality check:
+ Really make me smile when KM love cells infiltrate YM heart by very simple thing. By using frog... Yeah sometimes that simple thing that silently infiltrate our heart.
+ I don't know like or not about this, but sometimes KW is a little too perfect as man. He is man with rarely having relationship but he can read all the little gesture that YM give. Like when he decided to block YM knowledge about how close he is with Seo Sae Yi actually is, he can sense danger that if he said about it YM gonna be angry so yeah he block it instead. Sometimes man is so stupid reading woman gesture, so when I found man like this in the drama world it makes me a little bit happy.
+ As simple as love infiltrate our heart, sometimes a little things too that annoyed us. And when that little thing finally piling up, and sometimes without our knowledge too, that's when we think to end things up.
Overall this really good drama to watch

Watch this for 2023 ALPHABET DRAMA / MOVIE CHALLENGE. Turn out this quite good drama for short one. But unfortunately they kinda leave me with the feeling of lack of something when they close the curtain. & it's almost like an open ending one.... So yeah I lower the score... Like Joyce Chan wrote in her review. They all the unnecessary love rival & obstacle in their story. The more toward the ending, not the closure we got, but all the obstacle start to come out. Until the end it leave the feeling like unfinished story still need to be finished.
If only the ending not this messed up, maybe I can say this drama has beginning, middle & ending for the short drama & one of the good ones. But once again since this only short drama everything feel rushed...

Stupid love story, but quite cute & adorable
I actually don't know what to say about this. But for sure thank God this is just short drama not a long one.Story about one stupid boy that falling in love with a girl but don't want to say his feeling & only troll the girl feeling. And at the brick that girl almost give up her feeling, that boy finally admit that he like her too. Yeah one stupid love story that we romanticizes. But funnily, even for me, no matter stupid this story is, we still like it & cheer for that relationship to finally blossom.
Overall thank God this is just short drama not a long one if not I don't know how will they stretch this...

I think one or 2 year ago I saw this drama up and go in the feeds, since this year I have empty slot for Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge I decided to give drama a go. Turn out not as good as I expected.What make me hang to the last scene is the black hole. I'm really curious about that black hole, what is that? Is it really connect between the comic/story realm? Or just a glitch in the system? Unfortunately until the last scene we never get explanation about this black hole. Gonna be much better if we can know what is this black hole.
And also about that self conscious. How come some people get it some people not get it...? What the criteria to choose it? Is it because the character that selected for several times to be in the new story world? I mean just like Eun Dan Oh & Ha Ru, we can see them as character from the previous story, but Lee Do Hwa no I don't think so. Or maybe because they have too much interaction with the self conscious character, like Lee Do Hwa & Yeo Joo Da? So you see it just so confusing why they're the chosen one?
Overall for me this unique concept of story but not so much in the realization...

Reverse mode
Horah!!! They continue their story after season 3, or I'll gonna say season 1 part 3. Because for me, this is the real season 2. And of course that make this Season 2 part 1 for me....This time it's Qin Yu (QY) turn to come to the future, or you can said out from the book to the real world, to search for Yian Yi Yi (YY) / Consort Rong. But of course the story not that simple, since YY's memory about her adventure in the book world already wipe clean by book officer. And of course YY receive new mission from Book Officer to send QY back to book world. But whatever happen QY still insist to stay in real world & start to chase YY again.... And their journey begin....
This part tell story about YY's life in real life. We get to know YY's close friend & family. We get to meet several familiar face from previous season & also new face.
The biggest and questioning part of this season is where the h*ll QY get all the money. Haha... QY is still QY. Even in real world he still becoming rich guy & of course pampering YY with all the money. We get the glimpse imagination that maybe QY pawn or sold everything he bring from book world & also cut & sold his hair. But is it really enough for sponsor all the spoil thing he did to YY...? And YY also become one stupid girl that never ever even think/bother to ask QY where he gets all the money.... She just receive it & think that natural thing to do by man.... Aiyo....
The second question: How fast QY & Li Zhi Duo adapt in real / modern world. Ok they kinda explained that QY is fast learner& quite smart you can say. But for someone that comes from ancient world that easy adapt to our world is one big question mark for me. Haha...
And apart from that question the problem also start to raise for our lead. And close the curtain with obstacle that QY & YY have to solved. So their story continue to season 5 or I'll say part 2....

Just like Unique Lady
This story is like our dream, where we fall into the book & become character in the book & become FL/ML & falling in love with main character there. It's become lucky if the story is our own writing, so we know inside out about all the character & plot.This part/season of the drama is only the beginning where we get to know all the important character & plot. We see how FL, Yan Yi Yi/Consort Rong (YY), maneuver the story so she can save herself. In that maneuver, she create new characteristic for her character that make ML/emperor fall in love with her.
The reason I gave the title Just like Unique Lady, because this part of the story end like Unique Lady, which mid-part. Actually in my opinion the more fit to give the title of this drama not season, but part 1. And how much I really hope MDL not separate them, cause it suck to separate the review like this....
Overall all the story for this drama just the beginning in here & I quite excited to continue follow this journey

a love tragedy where no one wins.
This is a story about the selfishness of a girl, revenge story & the backlash/karma after that.Story about Jiang Li (JL) a woman that died whose try to find the reason & the man who is responsible for her dead. At first we get to see JL as an easy go lucky girl that try as hard as she can to get the love & attention from her love, Mo Yan (MY). And the story start to role, we can see that turn out JL not as naïve as we think she is, she is the spoiled girl that always get what she wants. That's why she keep harass MY in the name of love, just because she can't get him. In the end, finally she gave up & move on to the one man that always beside her, Zhao Qian Qiu (QQ).
What become pity here for our JL. As the story role we also can see that QQ turn out not honest or sincere toward JL. And the reason behind it quite pity too, the revenge for his dad. But in my opinion, if the story not this short, maybe we can see the polemic within QQ heart, where turn out he already fall in love with JL.
And in the end it become really really pity when we see the story between MY & JL. But for know the story for MY & JL themselves you can watch yourself. If I wrote that here, it will gonna be a big spoiler & I'm not gonna wrote that big spoiler here....
In the end, this is like Howard wrote: "In the end its a love tragedy where no one wins." But once again this a good story to self reflect. Because what you did in the end gonna be bite you back...

Confusing plot + messed up translate
This actually kinda good quality short drama. The costume, make up, décor everything kinda not cheep & the cast acting bearable & quite good actually. But unfortunately MangoTV still can messed this up.As usual MangoTV translation kinda suck. Sometimes completely mistranslate, sometimes no translation including the missing voice (so no sound at all, only Hanzi or mandarin word in the screen). So yeah except you very influence with HanZi or at least you want to read the word completely, you will like me, not really completely understand the plot nor the word they said in here. Haha...
I don't know it's just me being not understand the plot or what. But I feel the plot or story sometimes like jumping from place to place. Like after Zhang Xiao Mei's (XM) sister gave birth suddenly the child is missing & there's goat. Or just like Zhou Qing Zhu (QZ) & XM run from Li Ye, suddenly there's 3 years gap & I don't really understand is QZ only dream or what, but they also say XM died 3 years ago. So d*mn confusing.
In the end I hang on till the last cause still hope the story can make more sense in the end & because this just short drama. If usual length drama, I'll gonna drop it....

Well what I can conclude from this drama is, you don't need 4 reason to hate Christmas, you only need 1, which is you don't have someone special to spend the time with. Haha...Every single person here is lonely and of course they don't have that special someone to spend Christmas with, so they become bitter with everyone seem enjoy their Christmas with their loved one.... Sometimes I glad live in my country where Christmas & American's holiday (such Halloween) not feel so much of celebration like in the drama.
I really wish this drama bring more than the lonely people who feel bitter & jealous with everyone have couple or loved one to spend the holiday season together. But I kinda glad to see not everyone of them in the end get match with someone....
But overall in the end this still one good short drama to spend your time with....

A little bit too long
Long time heard about this drama, split between want to watch (because of Niu Jiu Feng & Landy Li) and some not too good review for this drama. But finally decided to peek into this drama, and the first ep success to capture interest, that's why finally I watch this drama...After watch also split between want to give good score, due to very interesting story that you can say cover all the aspect, or bad score, due to very God D*MN long episode. Finally settled in 7.5, cause I don't think 8 is good enough for this drama. Haha...
For me this drama kinda losing it's focus cause too many aspect that they want to include in. Ok. I think I'll gonna spoiler a little bit. If you don't want to know just skip reading my review then...
The little too many aspect:
- Trauma. Sheng Jing Chu (JC) trauma that cause by accident that killed his parent, make him can't see color. The worst healing process that happen in the drama. Once he open his heart to Cheng Liao (CL), suddenly he just healed. Ugh, yeah I know how romantic that's for our drama, but is it really that easy to heal the trauma...??
- The unhealthy obsessions Yao Ke (YK) to JC. Yeah I know this still sport drama, and sometimes there's crazy person that want to do anything in order to win and be number 1. But I think this obsessions take too much & unimportant screen time. They can treat YK like JC's other opponents with limited screen time only when competition time, because you can't say YK is a worthy opponent for JC. Another case if they make YK more worthy opponent for JC, like I really wish that Jubango can be really worthy of our screen time, where we can see how they alternately lose and win between YK & JC to make that scene is more exciting for us to watch. Instead this only make YK has more and more unhealthy obsessions to JC. Sometimes feel very sorry for YK, even though he has 2 teacher, no one really pay attention to the dark side of his heart, while JC always have good advice. That's why in the end JC can manage his heart and get out from the dark side, while YK fall more and more deep into the dark side.
The part that I don't know to put it into good or bad part.
- The other program from the TV station. Good cause make this drama not only about go, but also about other stuff. Bad because what this drama actually about, what is the focus of the drama....
- The other drama. Between Cheng Yi (CY) & her man. Good because they show us the step, from introduction to finally she acknowledge her own feeling. Bad because in the end, it's still like CY also has to choose between these 2 man, & can't actually happy by herself & her career.
- The other drama. Between Ding Lan (DL) & Cao Xi He (XH). Good cause what DL said to XH is so true, like how she can like him if he keep changing every time they meet, just for know her preference in man instead be himself. Bad cause they just take unnecessary screen time, that make this drama longer.... But their interaction quite liven up the drama, so I kinda like it....
OK. Now on the (+) side of the drama:
+ I really like how the romance develop between our couple. Apart from the drama of CY's 2 man, I still like how she develops feeling for Jiang Yu Da.
+ How JC & CL support each other. Although sometimes they don't talk too much about their problem, but they know how in the end they will gonna support each other. Like when JC want to change his style when playing go, how CL just support him without much asking question.
Overall this drama can have shorter ep if only they more focus on the importance stuff in the drama, and not try putting everything... But in the end this still quite enjoyable ride for me

heart warming story
This is one heart warming story about your pets and you. How animal remember us in their own way, how loyal they are to us, how protective they are and many other story...The cutest story or the very unexpected story comes in the term of pig as a pets. Haha... The woman expresion when she saw that pig is really precisely as mine if I get to that situation... But still one funny one if we only experience it through our screen...
Overall this really heart warming story that remind us how good animal to us....

This is indeed a very unique drama, funny, light hearted, but at the same time still quite heavy with it's political issue. What stop me from time to time watching this, as usual for me, the duration of K-drama with each ep more than 60 min.
But to be truth as non k-drama watcher the more ep sometimes the more confuse I am with the political issue. With the king become the doll king & all the corruption in the kingdom. Sometimes I feel like just want to drop this drama, but then they make it funny and full of excitement again with the story of the king & the queen. Hehe...
Unfortunately for me this drama close its curtain with weird phase or u may say the weird phase for Jang Bong Hwan in the future. It's like something amiss that I can't put my finger into....
But overall this really one good & unique drama for you to fill yours days...

Another short drama that have messed up plot. Ugh... I can't even understand at first what this drama about... So damn confusing...The story about one girl (Fang Xiao Ying (XY)) that very anti social, most people can't see her & she little by little become disappearing. The only person that notice & can see XY until the very end only Yu Zhi Ang (ZA) & he often said he is the reason for XY to disappear. OK until this I still found this drama very curious & want to know is XY in the end will disappear or not.
But in the end XY did disappear & the story from this fall apart very fast & very confusing. Everything ZA did after XY disappear is very confusing & have no logic. And after that we just wake from the dream & everything start to make more sense.
But there're no saving from the moment XY disappear. it just become one flop drama in the end.

Well as usual as other short drama this included in one messed up plot...The story happen just so damn fast, with the no clear of the problem & one confusing plot that like jumping from scene to scene.
Story happen at first when Wang Zi Fei come across with her boyfriend with another woman that turn out her big client, and suddenly there was Dong Zi Fan just out of nowhere over marriage to her. The summary told us about business enemy... Well this is not really the case. Yeah they're company is rival to each other, with Zi Fan as the owner at the rival company and Zi Fei only as employe at her company. Later on, Zi Fei's boss want to do dirty business & ask Zi Fei to steal Zi Fan company secret. This where the plot get messier & makes no sense. Maybe if they make the plot more tidy it's gonna be better & much more make sense.
Overall this only one short drama that running over in ur time

Several times heard this drama, really interesting after ??? ??? ?? ??? ???? ????????? by Kate - guilty pleasure of 2022 & discussion on the feeds. Haha.... Never expected this to be short drama, so that's why I finally just jump to watch this drama in the end. Haha...Yeah you can say this some kind of trash for some people, but definitely quite good quick story for me. They have story to tell, have beginning & also end, and definitely have some abs to look at. Haha...
But unfortunately the story lack a little bit. The moment Dong Ting Yao fall in love to Fang Tian Yi is a little bit blur. It just like it a sudden move from hate to love. Yeah I know he saved her. That's maybe the trigger. But the feeling is not too clear. Maybe because this is only quick drama, if they have longer duration the feeling can elaborate more and more.
Well in the end this is just another quick & short drama to pass your time....
