A very addictive drama. Priest masterfully built the plot, placing riddles all along the way, and practically giving no clues. In the end, everything was explained and shown. Dorama was swerving like a drunk on the road, back and forth. The ideas are taken from a variety of places, but it turned out to be quite an innovative product.
When they write in the comments, why is so much time devoted to the beauty topic? The author has nothing he doesn't need. Direct quotes from the drama: "God helps those who help themselves", "If you want something, you have to make yourself worthy of it ..." First, we are shown how the heroine and her boyfriend "pecked" for easy money, which can be obtained simply by testing a toy, and got a fatal result... And then the heroine with her own hard work, sweat and blood (and we are shown this sweat, dirt and blood, setups and rivalry) I earned a place in the sun by studying and improving first in the profession of a stylist, then a make-up artist. That's what all this salon entourage is for. In addition, Priest skillfully connected two story arcs, heroines and "villains" through the son of a makeup artist. Otherwise, everything would have hung in the air.
And portals and time travel, there are a lot of dramas around with this topic, it's good that Priest abandoned them and moved on to the usual everyday problems of family and society and managed to do it very interestingly.
The drama, of course, is based on the exceptional play of Liu Hao Cun. The boys are Lin Yi (the eternal rescuer of the girl), and Huang Sheng Chi (an unhappy makeup artist, but good), Wan Yan Luo Rong (a former traitor), Wang Cha Сha (the charming head of the salon and the stylist squad)... - just a pick-up from the actress.
I will not review this, because I have not watched any drama a second time, too many new and interesting things are coming out, there is no time for repetitions.
