Unspeakable Longing (2024)

Here we go again, transmigration of the author into her novel

This is a short format drama with episodes on average 12 minutes but they have 2-3 minute closing credits, so watchable screen time per episode is generally 10 minutes sometimes more sometimes less. Twenty four episodes total, but with the short length you can easily binge it in a few hours, especially if you watch it at 2x speed.

The plot is pretty standard fare, FL is the overworked stressed out author who ends up getting sucked into her comic. She has a mission in order to avoid death in both worlds, she needs to get true love's kiss from the FL in 3 months time. You can guess the shenanigans she goes to in order to achieve this. ML of course is allergic to women, except for FL. The pursuit by FL after ML is pretty funny, but by the time she gets him to fall for her...she finds out that it's a horrible exchange, if she gets that kiss, he'll die but if she doesn't get the kiss, she'll die.

What choice will she make and who will she hurt along the way as she struggles to find out what to do?

There's a SML and I didn't ship him with FL but I did feel really bad for the poor guy. Their backstory was cute and he was protective of FL, even when he knew that he'd been used.

There are some unanswered questions by the final episode that frustrated me a bit, but not enough to keep me from enjoying the rest of the show. If you've got an afternoon to kill, go for it, just don't go into this expecting Shakespeare.

There are better and worse minis out there

Reasons to watch this show:
You are a fan of any of the actors/actresses
You feel a need to watch ALL transported into a comic minis
You want a transmigration HEA show

Reasons to pass on this one:
The logic makes NO sense
They cast a kissing king in a show where they CAN'T kiss ??
The 2nd ML storyline will make you roll your eyes
The "main" villian is easily guessed once you realize logic has flown out the window

Overall, if you're bored and looking to watch this on 2x speed it won't take long; but if you're one of those who has to watch on regular speed, good luck.
