Xiao Cai Mi (2024)

A good in between watch

Good and entertaining. If you need something lighthearted, this is definitely one for you.
The only gripe I have is the change in the ML behaviour. It happens often in the C dramas, and I don’t get it. Why does a strong ML change into a pathetic puppet after he falls in love????? What kind of hang ups do the script writers have to think it’s attractive?
However, apart from this, the story is super fun, clever, and well paced. I absolutely love the FL and her mischief, a very good actress. ML is definitely one of my favs on the short drama lists, hope both get more and more opportunities to shine in larger productions. Don’t give this one a miss if you want something g to lighten up your evening. :)

Lacking in most areas!

I just felt this story did not have a lot of substance to be worthy of a good score. The ML is handsome and his acting is getting better but far from there. The FL just fell flat acting wise. She has a very pretty smile and it lights up but that is all that saves her. FL's character was lacking the strong FL element she was not really good at much. This had editing issues in many of the episodes that just made you do a double take ask what happened, what did I miss. It was annoying. going back to see if I had missed something. Tried to mix in modern elements which felt awkward and they did not flow.

On an upside "Pinger" her maid was a highlight for me. The actress was cute as a button and played her part well. She and her friend played their part well. Another character that made the story better was the ML mother for her small part I felt she played her part nicely.

All in all it was what it was a small mini drama with a low budget.
