Falls into a lake but time-slips into a bathtub, what a funny setup~ The male lead does a little sword demo and I got a faint Chen Xi vibe there~ just my opinion. So I looked him up, turns out he's Chu Young-woo's younger brother~ The acting's not bad, but it's not wildly fun either. Time-slip from the Joseon era!!!
Leans hard into the romance-slash-human-drama vibe built around a doctor and the female lead, with 'my son's physician' being the special thread that ties them together. Responsibility toward family and love flow naturally into romance. It's just so-so.
Pretty sure I've watched this 3 times. Both leads are good-looking and it's watchable. The eye makeup bugged me a little, though..
A fast-paced story packing in the friendship, betrayal, love, and coming-of-age that teens go through. Best part is that our lead Yoo Je-ni, who's got a real backbone, doesn't just sit there as a victim, she goes on air to expose the truth and fights her way through it. Worth a watch~ ^ ^
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.
The grandkids just keep coming from somewhere...
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.
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.
Less about plot, more about mood. The handsome lead and sensual visuals create a chemistry that's sultry yet never heavy.
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.
