No weak links in the cast, so my heart is at peace.

Seven years of unspoken feelings, built without a single grand gesture. A quiet record of first love — the kind that lingers.

I'd call this the start of my short-drama journey. Watch it and you're hooked, guaranteed.

The storyline actually pulled at the heartstrings. It was well a written, soap opera like drama with some somewhat goofy directing and acting scenes. Sure, the acting could have been improved. But overall a pretty decent job. If the budget were bigger, I'm sure this could have been turned into a great film.

Watched this back in the early Beeglow days, and I was like 'a cult leader in a SHORT drama??' but I had a blast. It's a twist-on-top-of-twist kind of show, and also the first thing I ever saw Ki Hyun-woo in.

Peak visuals for Wang Do-cheol. You get to see him WITHOUT the glasses and it's a full front-and-back hazard zone. That smooth, sly Do-cheol charm gets you every time and it's just fun. Highly recommend!!!

A BL drama, based on the webtoon of the same name. School-set young love — the flutter and growing pains of youth, all giddy sweetness with an undercurrent of tension. He just didn't want to end up the loser at the bottom of the boys'-school pecking order. There's a love triangle too; it's comedic and I had fun with it ^^

The story might be hit or miss for people. The setup where the lead, dumped on her wedding day, gets trapped by a blackmail video..

Original: 危情合约 (Zhang Bei-shi & Zuo Yi). An ad popped up so I rewatched it, and since I loved it the first time, it's still great on round two. It runs the contract-relationship + chaebol chairman + revenge + reversal formula. Thanks to Zhang Bei-shi and Zuo Yi's chemistry and the fast pace, it hooks you to the end — textbook Chinese short drama. Later on, the once-exploited heroine seizes her own happiness. Lots of kiss scenes, definitely watch-your-back territory. Recommend it!!!

Burn through the family fortune and she gets to go back to the modern world — but the more she spends, the more everyone praises her lol. A comedy about desperately trying to go broke and failing.

When I first watched this I was like, how is this GUY so pretty, and it was Wang Ho-jung. Basically a knockoff-uncle version of Wang Ho-jung~ The Yeo-in and Wang Ho-jung combo~ Yeo-in's short too so it gives even more of a niece vibe. This is one of those early short dramas I really enjoyed, so it stuck with me~ It's fun ^ ^

Watched it because Jin Zhu-xing is in it, and turns out it's based on the Chinese short 'Crossed Fates.' I already knew the story, but Jin Zhu-xing serving up his regret-guy, obsessive-guy, psycho act means I've gotta watch. What's different from the original is the cat-and-human? mistaken-for-a-sibling thing. You already hurt me every way possible and think a 'sorry' fixes it?

A shaman gaslighting her way to taking over a home-shopping company, a scene of someone tied up in ropes, a whipping scene where they beg to be hit harder. Plenty of provocative scenes, and the gaslighting/brainwashing runs on bell sounds? Everyone at the home-shopping network gets basically hypnotized by the bell chime on their phones. You do eventually find out WHY she wants the company so badly, and it's worth a watch ^^

Original: 另攀金枝 (Liu Yu-hang & Yang Shu-yu). Liu Yu-hang plays a dual role as twins!!! A drama that really nails the signature Chinese-short-drama cathartic pacing. In just a handful of episodes it packs in betrayal, misunderstanding, status reversal, revenge, AND romance, holding the tension start to finish — and the lead refusing to bow to an unfair reality and proving her worth is especially satisfying to watch.

A drama where I was needlessly on edge the whole time, sweating over whether they'd get caught being a fake couple. The actor playing Ji-an is handsome. But he acted so cautiously and tentatively that it kept me nervous. Happy ending though, so I did enjoy it.

Peak scumbag-hot sexual tension. Wang Yiran nails this kind of thing too. But... the ending's a bit of a hollow letdown.

They set out to destroy each other, but end up saving each other — a tale of two obsessives.

In short dramas, a good face IS the plot.
