Cool Concept, missed delivery
**Caveat** The subtitles on the YouTube version I watched were auto-generated, so much of the content was confusing and proper subtitles may have improved my perception of the delivery. It very well may be that I will give this drama a better rating if I watch it again with real subtitling. (I'm looking at you Viki volunteers :))
**Caveat 2** I watch a lot of mini-dramas. I love these because I can get my Wuxia/Xanxia or Chinese Rom-Com without committing to 24-50 hours of viewing. I understand the limitations of the media and therefore gave this drama a higher rating than I would have had it been a traditional web or broadcast drama.
**Caveat 3** I have no memory of the music and watched most of this on mute.
This is such a cool concept. Not a spoiler because it is in the opening sequence - a fixer comes into a comic/novel/TV show to help the character who is getting beaten down but doesn't deserve the treatment. Here she is coming in to help the chubby wife of a philandering husband from getting beaten to death. Pretty high concept for such a comedy-toned mini-drama, but it still worked. The writer had a big task and tried to take on more than they could accomplish in 70 minutes. They tried to have too many complex backstories and another transmigration character that was unnecessary.
I think this idea could have been better dealt with in a short form with some streamlining. That being said, I enjoyed it.
