One of the better ones for short Chinese dramas and highly entertaining

In recent years, Chinese entertainment have really expanded their list of short dramas and you can start to see which ones are the better ones. This is one of the better ones on every level: production, soundtrack, acting, story, and directing. Compared to bad ones--where there are a lot of inner monologue to move forward the scenes and lack of cinematography (all meant for quick consumption)--this one is longer in episode length and so have more time to develop the relationship. I definitely put this on the higher tier, among other well known short dramas like "Queen of Attack" and "The Killer is also Romantic."

Premise: A manga character who typically plays the female villain role in stories gets a new assignment: she is to be the female villain character for the romance story of a domineering CEO & pure-hearted kind girl. However, after she entered the world, she somehow took over the role as the female lead! To survive against the female villain while the male lead is in a coma, she teams up with the male villain.

The chemistry between the characters is sizzling and the story is so fun as the character makes fun of typical cliches and tropes (while being stuck in it) and there's actually several twists that had me on my toes since I didn't expect it. At the same time, there is a bit of a fun tragic/angsty aspect: as characters in a story, you're stuck to follow the story--but what happens when you break from the story? I love these kinds of dramas.

Overall, a very entertaining drama with memorable scenes and several good songs and especially a breakout moment for the main leads: Liu Xiening and Guan Yue. They have great visuals and look really good together!
