Heard there will be a second season of this, so before I watch that, let’s dive into this 1st season…

Story about Babe, race car driver who change s*x partner likes changing clothes. Haha… One day comes Charlie, who wants to be a racecar driver but he doesn't have a racecar of his own. So Charlie come to Babe to borrow his car in exchange for s*x. Amused by how brave Charlie is, Babe accept the offer & they officially become s*x partner.

The deeper in the series we also learn that this is not only about racing cars. But also about kids / people with special abilities. Babe has this special ability, his hearing is more sensitive than other people. Babe had a foster father, Tony Chen, Tony had collected & trained all special kids for a long time & all those kids called him dad. Babe at first feels grateful for Tony, to give him shelter, food & all the love & care. But later on Babe learned Tony is the reason his real father abandoned him & Tony also exploited Babe special ability for Tony's own gain, that pissed Babe, so he ran away from Tony grab.

But Tony did not just stay still. After so many years (they don’t tell us how many years) Babe ran away from Tony’s house. Now Tony finally decided to chase after Babe. Tony enters the race car business by investing in Babe’s no 1 competitor & trying every means to make Babe return to him, even with dirty tricks. How will Babe & all his friends fight against Tony & all nasty things he did…?

That’s pretty much the story, without giving away all important spoilers… Unfortunately this drama has too many stupid plot holes that sometimes just makes me laugh while watching…. Nothing much about what I like.

What I like:
+ Pavel Naret Promphaopun as Babe.
+ S Vorarit Vaijairanai as Tony Chen
+ The cute second couple Alan & Jeff. Although their story is also stupid. But I quite like their story.
+ The dirty business behind sport & the ambitious people that will do anything for the trophy or the change, like Winner & Dean
+ Kim, he’s one sportive man that acknowledges Babe as his rival.

What I don’t like:
- How combustible Babe. He really doesn't like to hear any excuses from people.
- Pooh Krittin Kitjaruwannakul as Charlie. I don’t know it just feel Charlie is so stupid. They want to give the impression that Charlie is a naive man, but I don’t get that vibe from Pooh himself.
- The story of Alan & Jeff. It is just like Alan falling in love with Jeff out of nowhere, it feels like that’s the script so they just go on with the plan.
- Seeing so d*mn many special people around Babe, until it just felt stupid.
- Everyone feels intimidated by Babe's ability.
- They don’t really explain to us the level of the special kids are… Like Babe special Alfa, Pete as Enigma. What the hell is Enigma…?

Below I'll write a little bit about the stupid plot hole that I notice. But that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! So read it at your own risk!!!












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

The plot holes:
- Tony’s house is filled with many kids with special abilities that Tony considers important & precious, yet the security really makes me laugh. It is like every person that is being held captive so easy to walk away from that property…. Like how Babe ran away from home, in the flashback we also see how Pete also just ran away or how Jeff ran away later on. See… that’s so easy…
- People so stupid yet so lucky. Several times what Sonic & North did is just plainly stupid, but they are important characters, so the writer decided to save them just at the last second.

Let's continue the journey of Fan Xian...

This season is heavier than the last season. Fan Xian (FX) fall deeper into the Emperor's web of plan.... As usual really like Jeana & PeachBlossomGoddes writing. For deeper thoughts read their writing....

Now let just discuss what i like & don't like about this drama...

What I like:
+ All the important cast is back!!! Hope remain the same in the season 3
+ The beautiful growth in FX character. Really like what Jeana & PeachBlossomGoddes wrote. Yeah this season more focus how "FX embraces his mother's legacy with a sense of purpose and a clear vision of what he means to do with it. & how the way "his thirst for justice and fairness builds up in every episode."
+ The next level in FX & Lin Wan Er (WE) relationship. Let me be a shallow girl & be exciting about their new status....
+ Every character keep surprising me with their hidden layer... I feel I need to learn about them every time they plan / act something....
+ How FX brutally honest with WE. Even when she ask him about her brother.
+ The joke & all the question that's been ask by FX's teacher in real world. Haha... That's the exact question I want to ask the writer...

Well nothing I really don't like, so let me just add too in here... Haha... What I don't too like:
- Woman sometimes really can't lie about their face. Although we see almost no different in the man face, but the woman (WE & Fan Ruo Ruo) we can see their older. Haha... Especially Li Qin, make up can't hide this fact, or maybe the make up indeed a little bit different from season 1
- I don't like the changing in Yan Bing Yun (YBY) & Ye Ling Er (LE) cast. No i don't complain how they can't act. But I don’t think both actor/ess fit to play the role. Wu Xing Jian can't even come close to Xiao Zhan serious face when come to YBY character, his face is too cheerful maybe to play the serious face of YBY. And vice versa with Gina Jin as LE, her face is way too serious....
- This season a little bit too heavy for my plate. There's a time I kinda bored with all the scheme the emperor plot....
- I got more and more confused about the mysterious temple & FX's mother.
- The ending. Although not really a cliffhanger like season 1. This season still leave us hanging in the edge of the cliff...

Overall I quite happy this drama can have season 2. quite exciting for season 3. I really hope I don't need to wait too long like season 1 to 2 & all the important cast remain the same...

My July recommendation challange

Watch this for my July recommendation challange by forest Not realize I've already watch the Japan version just a few month ago. If not for the challange, I'll already drop it in the first 10 minutes. Haha...

Tell story about Chul Min (CM), a former boxer, who starts a new job as a parking lot attendant. One night, a visually impaired young woman, Jung Hwa (JH), walks into his tollbooth to watch television with him. JH's bright smile & cheerful spirit reach through to CM's lonely heart. Together CM & JH bring ray of hope into each other lives.

But their love and happiness may be short-lived, cause soon CM know the reason for JH blindness & his connection to it & fell regret yet responsible at the same time. For that's reason, CM finally decided to take the challange of underground fighting, to get enough money for JH's eye surgery.

In the end, there's some accident after CM underground fighting & that's causing CM to disappearing from JH's life. What will come in the end? Will CM & JH meet again in the future?

That's overall the story. Now let's talk what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ The Japan version I forgot, even though MDL write the summary about ML also go to underground fighting, to get enough money for FL's eye surgery. But I don't really remember much about it. But this one, leave bigger imprint in my mind about his intention for underground fighting.
+ I more like the chemistry Korea Version than the Japan version.

What I don't like:
- Many problem apart from CM & JH relationship are not explained. Like how CM back to Korea after the fight, or what happen with his business with underground gank... (You know the diamond...)

Overall this good movie to watch. I'm quite happy can re-watch this with different version.

Finally, get a hand in this movie. Really hard to find, usually when I search for The Beauty Inside, the majority it’s all linked to the drama, not the movie.

What intrigues me to watch this movie, of course the summary. What would you do if you woke up with a new face every day? This happens to Woo Jin (WJ), a man who designs furniture, who has lived with this condition since his 16th birthday. WJ changes his body everyday to an elderly man, a little boy, a chubby woman, a foreigner, etc… The only people that know of his illness are his mother and his best friend, Sang Baek.

One day, WJ meets Yi Soo (YS), a girl who works for a furniture store and instantly falls in love with her. Since his physical identity changes frequently, he continues to visit her daily, acting as a customer that she has never seen before. When the perfect day with the ‘perfect face’ comes, WJ finally musters up the courage to talk to her and ask her out on a date. WJ knowing that his face will change once he falls asleep, attempts to stay awake for as long as he can. WJ managed to stay awake for three consecutive days and made YS fall in love with him. However, at the end of the 3rd day, WJ can no longer fight sleep, he passes out and wakes up with a new face. What will happen to WJ & YS story? Will WJ tell YS about his condition? What will Yi Soo think?

What’s best about this movie, besides the interesting plot, is the realistic portrayal of what would happen if we were as YS & WJ. I can put myself in their shoes…

What I don't too like is the stupid decision YS made in the end.

That’s overall the story… Overall this one unique movie you can check it out…

Below I'll write a little bit SPOILER. So read it at your own risk!!!












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

For you who want to know… Yes, WJ finally tell YS about his condition & they started dating. YS tried her best to overcome WJ's condition, but eventually it all came at the cost of YS mental health. You imagine your man changing his whole body into someone new. At first maybe it’s gonna be fun, but later you'll have trust issues & everything else… Like what YS experienced, it’s quite realistic, I can imagine myself in YS’s shoes.

After YS starts to have mental problems, WJ consult his mom & find out that it turns out his dad also had the same condition with WJ, and it concluded his condition is genetic. WJ’s mom tell him YS will be OK as soon she separated from WJ, cause that’s turned out happen to herself & WJ’s dad. Hearing his mom's experience, WJ decided to leave YS.

What would you do if you were YS or WJ? If I were WJ, I'd also make the same decision with WJ. And if I were YS I’d also gonna leave WJ, especially cause WJ first already left me.

Overall this really one interesting advertisement short drama. Even though adv, i can't really say they talk about the mall too much. Just enough here & there. So, in my opinion, we can really enjoy this simply as a short drama...

Below I'll write a little bit about each story. But that's also mean SPOILER ALERT!!! So read it with ur own risk!!!

1st story. Lee Joon Gi. "Childhood connection"
* The story about the store manager who ask SJ out after her shift ended. Turn out this store manager know her from quite sometimes, they knew each other since childhood & he longed like her & want to confess.
> in my opinion he's a little bit like stalker, that made into romance cause he's handsome & rich. U imagine this man have collection of ur photo every year & that's took without we realized it... If he ugly & we're not watch romance scene, that's actually kinda creepy....

2nd story. Park Hae Jin. "Dangerous Boss"

* The story about secret agent that infiltrate underground world, but he got caught & branded as traitor. In this story, SJ also turn out as a secret agent. She can fight like she used to it.
> This story begin in the middle. & quite weird actually how fast SJ can grab the reality & get used to it. From all the story, this is the most dangerous one...

4th story. Kai. "I'm your teacher"
* Story about SJ as chinese teacher that's got confession from her student.
> This story also begin in the middle, SJ herself shock at first when she find out she can speak chinese fluently. But the forbidden fruit between teacher & student, sometimes is so tempting... ^^

5th story. Ok Taec Yeon. "The millionaire"
* Story about SJ as a girlfriend of a millionaire heir. Of course as common girl, she got rejected by his family, but turn out he's willing to give everything up just to be with SJ.
> This story also begin in the middle. And are u ready to go against the world with ur man?

6th story. Lee Jong Suk. "The celebrity"
* Story about Lee Jong Suk that's will shoot adv for TV Commercial & SJ is the lucky employee that's got selected to be paired with him. Very nervous with big celebrity beside her, first make every move that's SJ did so ackward & wrong. But later she get the hang of it & even befriended Lee Jong Suk himself.
> This story begin from the beginning. But are u ready to have celebrity as ur man...?

7th story. Lee Min Ho. "The Adventure writer"
* Flying to heaven with all the man above make SJ head over the moon. So when Lee Min Ho comes to her desk, she already so big & imagine the wildest thing about their connection. But turn out it's all just vain & he just plainly a visitor that ask for direction.

May 2024 Recommendation Challenge

Long time hesitate to watch this, because it really has long episodes but the review always great. But thanx to Recommendation Challenge & bitcoolcat, I finally watch this.... And yes I must admit this is one the best historical drama.

The story nothing too new about the harem. Story about a girl named Wei Ying Luo (YL) who enter palace from embroiderer and rising to the top to became emperor's consort. The difference is just the motive beyond YL action. YL 1st came to the palace because of her sister rape & murder, she wanted to investigate & bring justice to her sister's death. And upon investigating, she find out, or think, the one responsible for her sister's death is Fuca Fu Heng (FH), the Empress's brother. But as time goes by, she learn the character of FH & finally trust it's not him responsible for her sister's death. How the story goes.... It's really interesting to watch how the story goes till the end.

YL is one interesting girl, she's loyal, brave, smart & quick witted girl. She's like a new wind in the palace, and her wittiness get the attention of the Empress, FH & even Emperor and later on the Empress Dowager. Her shortfall only one, she's willing & will do anything in her power to achieve her goal, no matter who obstruct her way she'll gonna strike it. And that's often bring trouble for her. But with the protection of Empress, FH, Emperor and later on the Empress Dowager, she's manage to avoid all the danger & thrive till the end.

What I like:
+ The clever FL. YL is really one smart girl that know how to manipulate situations for her advantage.
+ I finally understand the feeling of missing opportunity between FH & YL. Oh one really sadly miss opportunities for these couple. And I really quite like the chemistry between Xu Kai & Wu Jin Yan.

What i don't too like:
- A little slow pace the last 10 episode. I really hope it end when YL & 2nd Empress make peace. I mean the moment the 2nd Empress said it will gonna be peace for a couple of year, before the emperor's sons grow up. I understand they need to close the curtain when YL's revenge to Prince He is completely ending, and I really wish that happen before the emperor's sons grow up, but that's maybe what's written in the history book & I can't really blamed the writer for it.
- Watching too much of the same time period & the same person, but in different drama, make me feel the character itself blurry in the end. And the most obvious character for me is the character of the 2nd empress & the empress from Huan Zhu Ge Ge & FL from Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace is like different person although they all the same.

Overall this really one good historical drama to watch. Highly recommend.

April 2024 Recommendation Challenge

Watch this for my April Recommendation Challenge by Natalie Rodriguez. Quite interesting story, talk about the hanging what if...

Nora or Na Young & Jung Hae Sung (HS) were childhood friends that have puppy love with each other. They separated cause Nora's family emigrates from South Korea. HS try to reconnect with Nora through Nora's dad FB & successful, their reconnect 12 years after Nora's family emigrates. But life happen, and they separated again & continue with their own life. Nora met her husband, Arthur, & got married, while HS also got girlfriend.

Life go by, 12 years later, HS decided to reconnect again with Nora. HS visit Nora in America, he bring all the nostalgic feeling for Nora & leave her with all the what if questions. What if Nora not go to Canada, will they start their relationship, will their relationship continue with more serious one or will it fail...? And so on... So how will they continue the relationship? Will Nora finally choose HS over her husband?

One thing that really good about this movie is... How mature everyone is, especially Arthur. Arthur see how vulnerable Nora when she met HS, but still can put smile & calm in his face when he met HS. And the fact that Arthur still told Nora the truth about how he actually don't like that Nora met HS, but still appreciate & trust her in the end.

Overall this one good movie to reflect our own life & relationship with anyone around us.

Below is SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
This end with sad ending for HS & Nora. They separated for good, no one sacrifice their own life for each other.

Fill with spoiler. Watch with ur own risk

Quite intrigue watch this short drama... But as usual with short drama, this also quite fast pace & a little week at the end.

Tell story about Lin Xian (LX) & Zhuang Xiao Man (XM). They arranged to be engaged by their grandpa. But after a little threatened by LX's grandpa, LX finally settled in XM house. XM that's being sick by all the blind date the villager arranged for her & LX that's need to be agreed to his grandpa make a little secret deal, to be agreed in their engagement for about 1.5 month and after that they agreed to break the relationship.

But.... Because LX & XM is the main couple here, of course they finally fall in love with each other. LX that gets used to with farming life also falling in love with the lifestyle in the village. The end...? Haha.... This is drama, of course not....

LX's company turn out hanging on the cliff, and before coming to the village, he made a deal with Lu Yao (LY) to be her fiance. LY try to break LX & XM relationship through Chen Jingwen & successful. They break up. But later on XM find out the truth & decided to chase LX to the city. Will it successful? Well... I think I spoiled enough. You need to continue watch urself.

What rush?
- The way XM & LX fall in love feel a little bit rush. Suddenly they just already fall in love with each other.
- The ending. Ugh... I really wish for better ending...

Overall do I feel this worth watching? For short drama YES! This has beginning, middle and end. The story quite clear & good. The acting also quite good, not feel the actor/ess like just graduates from acting students drama.

One drama that silently aired & no much people talk about. I also almost missed this if not for random click on WeTV. But quite happy to watch this stupid, hilarious yet full on meaningful family drama...

The story revolve around Chun Family. The single mother that raise 4 daughter, with their character & uniqueness themselves.

1st daughter, Chun Jin Rong (JR). With materialistic characters, that turn out offer more that the eyes meet the first time.

3rd daughter, Chun Ban Xia (BX). With smart & stubborn character, that in the end learn not all her ways is always right.

4th daughter, Chun Ke Ling (KL). The youngest & childish one in the family, that in the end learn to group up & take her responsibility in the world & in the household.

And finally our FL, 2nd daughter, Chun Pei Lan (PL). One woman that at first, take the responsibility to care of the house herself, to the end learn to let go her 'responsibility' & choose her own path, with her man... Haha...

Really interesting to see how these woman grow to be the better self of themselves through out the drama. Of course with each conflict in the family we can experience ourselves in our real world or no stranger in drama world.

Overall this really one interesting drama to watch. With grounded characters & actor/ess.

Another good short drama, with complete concept with beginning-middle-end. We can see this is not really a low budget short drama. Even though it's only 14 ep with 35 min each, but we can say this made with love & story to tell.

Really interesting how they flip the concept of time travelling & what a poor Lu Yu An (YA). This story start in the future & with each time travelling Shen Bu Yan (BY) move backward in time instead just moving forward. So the first time meeting between BY & YA is actually the last time they met each other & the last meeting is actually the first time they met each other. So yeah, with all the knowledge & missing feeling of BY by YA, it's just pity her...

This drama tell story of BY that try to change the fate of YA. With each time travelling he tried his best to change the fate of YA, but instead changing it, I say he put everything just in the place where it's belong. And with the wheel keep going backward each time we got story to tell...

This time travel concept tell us that we can't really change what in the past, we can only learn & know what happen in the past. That's why, I kinda frustrated with BY actually. He a little bit slow in understand the concept of his time travelling, so he just waste so many valuable time to tell YA what she need to know about future. I mean YA obviously already told him, in the second time, at that time she still has memory of BY, how he not understand that he can't change the wheel of fate...? A little slow if I must say. Haha...

Overall this really one good short story that you may check out. Oh and btw, This is maybe the first time that I really like the performance of Zhang Ya Qin as YA... She played her good....

Short & simple drama

Simple story about love. A short drama that sweet, fluff & just simple to fill your day. For the short drama I can say this has complete story, has beginning-middle-ending. The story itself not a complicated one, but still leave a footprint in your memory.

Story about a girl that like another girl. Maybe like shiro wrote: 'This is the story about the girl who wanted to learn how to make great coffee... or more like got a crush on a barista so she used the oldest trick in the book "learning" to get close to her.' But cause it's just a short drama, so we got no story from their family or you can say, anyone else. This just a story about 2 girls, how they start the acquaintanceship > friendship > courtship > being together.

One short drama that you can watch to fill you day...

annoying BGM

Watch this for Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge 2023. Turn out the story quite interesting, the acting not so bad, the costume etc also not so cheap. The only thing that annoy me to the point I almost drop this is the BGM. I don't know why, or it just pure my bad luck, but this time youku have that annoyed BGM where it should not be, or the disappearing voice altogether (almost like mango tv in YouTube if you know what I mean). The only help only the text still exist so we still understand what they talk about. Thankfully the story still quite interesting & it's only short one, so yeah I hang till the end.

This drama tell a story 3 sister, Mo Shi Shi (SI), Mo Sha Sha (SA) & Mo Jing Jing (JJ) that Fall in love with the same guy, Shen Mu Han (MH), SA & JJ have the same mother while SI has different mother, but they all have the same father. The story begin when Si married to MH, but later on she died injustice & back to the past to the day of her wedding with MH. With the memory of the future, SI start to change her own fate & begin her love story with MH.

Shen Mu Han (MH) married with SI with one purpose, to take revenge to SI cause he think that SI kill SA (his love). But with time he learn that everything is not like what he think it is. MH start to know the real SI & of course fall in love with her, he also found out who he actually love in the first place.

With time rolling, SI & MH start to unravel many interesting past regarding SI's parent story. And finally SI get the revenge for her mother & light everything that evil try to hide. (I'm not gonna write it here, cause that the big spoiler & I'm not gonna ruin that much)

Except the annoying BGM for me this drama is like any other short series, feel quick & fast forward, where some story happen so d*mn fast.

Overall if you can ignore the BGM & disappearing voice, this story still quite bearable & good enough.

Watch this shortly after I watch Love of Replica, and due to my personal problem I even watch it together for some first few episode. Found the story quite similar, where the the same face girl take another girl place & later we find out that they are turn out to be twin. But with more episode we go through, turn out the 2 drama not really similar story.

This drama tells a story about a girl name Nie Sang Yu (SY) that fall from the cliff & lost her memory, she is a wife of the marquis Ning, Ning Yu Xuan (YX). As the summary told us, SY is a woman with a reputation for treachery, scheming, and evil, but this new awake woman has completely different character from the description woman, she is cheerful & kind hearted woman. But because of the amnesia, everyone keep believe she is the same girl. And later on we find out that she is completely different woman, named Ji Man (JM) that turn out to be SY twin.

What I love about this drama:
+ The chemistry between Ding Yu Xi & Peng Xiao Ran. Although Ding Yu Xi wardrobe, hair style & character kinda remind me of his other character in The Romance of Tiger and Rose, especially the hair style.
+ The funny story of Gui Bai (GB) & Shui Niang Zi. Although also a little frustrated by stubbornness of GB, but yeah it's still kinda understandable.
+ The noble character of Yuan Lang. He is one man that never avoid his fault & finally that this very character that finally bring peace to JM & YX.

What I don't too like about this drama:
- The classic stupidity of the opponent, in here I mean Ling Jian Xing.
- The usual greedy of another family of the emperor, Prince Tan. Nothing much, just kinda boring with this plot.
- The too easy situation of ML. YX as usual ML, get all the trust from emperor & everything seem easy for him.

Overall this drama has nothing new or old to offer, but still quite good to watch.

Kinda excited to see Tsao Yu Ning & Yilia Yu again together. But the story weirdly not as good as I expected.

This drama told story of almost impossible logic or science. If you read discussion below, there's someone talk about this story probably happen in the future timeline. Yeah that's kinda make sense, if we see the phone they use here, transparent phone in that case. But if really happen in the future timeline, why not just make it completely obvious with all the futuristic technology, or at least give more obvious sign that this happen in the future timeline. If yes, that's more make sense for the story in this drama to happen. So kinda patchy story, if I must say.

But the good about this drama:
+ The chemistry of Tsao Yu Ning & Yilia Yu never disappoint me. That's the advantage with pairing old couple together
+ This drama tell us that family is not only about blood relative, but more of connection. Sometime Asian drama talk about how important blood are, but lack the importance of the connection that build overtime. I'm not gonna spill here, cause it's a major spoiler. You definitely have to watch till the end to know what I mean.
+ Funny relationship between Tian Sui & her 2 men, Ding Bei Fan & Jiang Tian Cheng. But I really happy with who she choose in the end. It show that sometimes companionship is a lot more important than love at the first sight.

Overall even though feel this like push the boundary for the story to match with the whole picture, but this drama still provide us good chemistry between our lead, good friendship, action & good story to tell. So yeah I still say you can check this one out.

One perfect short drama

Sometimes pick the right short drama is like picking lottery, so many bad thing, but once you found a good one just like hit the jackpot. Haha...

This short drama compare to other you can say one perfect little short drama. One short drama that not only offer you complete story (with beginning, middle & end), but also has very good meaningful story to tell. Although of course every drama still has it's minus point, but for me a short drama like this is just hit the perfect point. A little warning, I'm gonna spoiler a little, but still not a big spoiler so I don't think I'll gonna ruin your enjoyment for watching this drama. But if you don't want to spoiler at all, just skip reading my review then...

This drama tell a story about very unconfident woman named Chi Xiao Yu (XY), that often be doormat for the people in her office. The story begin when she found an app that can bring dishes that can change her characteristic, and the first order of course to give her the courage to change her as a doormat at her office. And from that the story go on... Unfortunately the effect from eat the dishes not long, only 15 min if I'm not mistaken & she has to order and eat it again. The interesting part is she's not only order that specific character, but also other character, like became queen of drama romance when she wants to date, etc....

What XY never expected, there's heavy price that she has to pay for the character that she's order. Like in real life, when something to easy, there're usually heavy price that we have to pay to gain it... Yeah in this case, her drawing talent, overtime her talent became worse and worse. And this the little MINUS of this drama, she never realize what make her talent became worse and worse, she just think because she's not practice it. So yeah she just continue practice her skill, while she's also stop ordering the special dishes. So yeah of course her skill become better and better again.

In the other hand turn out our ML, Su Yang (SY), also the customer of the character shop. But him in the other hand, only order 1 special dishes... Can you guess what...? Watch it for know it. Haha... And the heavy price he has to pay is his time & his appetite. He has no time for anything except his business & he can't eat anything except the special dishes he order from the character shop.

Overtime they bring us another price that they have to pay for eating the specialty dish. Our CP, XY & SY, think what the other like about themselves, the actual character of themselves or the character that they got from the character shop. That's also happen to ourselves in real life. When we put too many mask in our face for other to see, we will never gonna know what other person like more about us, the real us or just the mask that we put in our face, that sometimes we put to please other people.

What really interesting is the closure of this drama. Where both XY & SY finally stop ordering from the character shop & finally brave enough to show their real self to other person. Or to take quote from Wang Zhe, the owner of the character shop: "what people really need is the bravery to change themselves."

If you look for any short drama to watch. This is just one prefect short drama to be put into your watch list
