Por Favor, Não me Estrague (2022)

Cute

This series has thrown my rating system into disarray. Objectively, this is the hallmark movie of C-dramaland in that we get a story that's fast-paced, romantic, and watchable yet it has the depth of a puddle and a very linear story arc. Nothing special, still, it's exactly what is needed to cleanse the palate after watching a dense drama like Legend of Mi Yue (which I disliked).

Is it fair to rate it so high? Yes, because I'd like to send a message of support to the writers and production team so that they're encouraged to keep honing their skills and hopefully improve their outputs regarding quality, storytelling, and production values.

So cute & funny

I love this short little drama! It's so cute and funny! So different from the typical C-drama, maybe because it's short. FL is spunky and cute, but not 'cutesy' as in baby talk and pouting. I loved it when she punched Concubine Li in the eye! HAHA! And then they end up on the same side as both are arguing for her to be sent to the Cold Palace! Per the rules of the Book Officer, she's tampered with the original novel, and she has to remain in the Cold Palace for 100 days or be eliminated in both the novel and real life so she continually trying to return to the Cold Palace and the Emperor is continually interfering with her plans to go there, first because he was suspicious of her and then because he's begun to fall in love with her. Her antics are so hilarious and the reactions of the emperor and the other supporting characters are funny as well since she's continually surprising them. She does get sent out of the Cold Palace after a day, but the Book Officer didn't show up and she didn't start to fade so that's a bit of inconsistency with the premise of her having to stay at the CP, but I can overlook it because this little drama is so amusing right now! So refreshing from most C-drama historicals because it's fast-paced and keeps you chuckling through all the episodes. I'm looking forward to watching Season 2 & 3, but I dread how it's all going to end because either she stays in the novel or she has to leave. If she leaves, she'll be leaving behind the emperor - so sad. But, if she returns to the real world, let's hope that either the emperor can follow her (like in the K-drama 'W') or a lookalike guy shows up in reality.

Perfect for a busy week

This week was busier than previous weeks, so watching these bite sized episodes were perfect. But, I have to warn you, you may be wanting to watch just one more episode.

Though the eps are bite sized, I didn't think it felt rushed. The story moved and left me wondering how and when will the leads get together. What mysteries will they solve, if any.

I enjoyed the acting and costumes. I like strong FL that are independent, strong, and can defend themselves. I got that. I like it when she's not pining after the ML and has her own interests and dreams. I like it wgen the ML doesn't go for the "typical" girl that depends on him and lives to get his attention.

I really didn't pay much attention to the music except for during the credits. I enjoyed listening to it.

If you watch it on Tencent/WeTV, you'll have both English and Chinese subs. I love having both since I'm studying Chinese.


I've seen other dramas where the FL was sucked into the book she authored [or is still wtiting] or edited. Though she knows a lot about the chain of events and characters, one of the characters is there to prevent her from avoiding certain main events. She finds this out just after she successfully avoided a certain event from happening. It was fun seeing her try to force the event to happen.

It is a lighter, fun drama, which is what I wanted after watching Bloody Romance, Princess Silver, The Wolf, and Scarlet Heart. Like I said before, it was perfect for when I had 15-30 minutes.

Just like Unique Lady

This story is like our dream, where we fall into the book & become character in the book & become FL/ML & falling in love with main character there. It's become lucky if the story is our own writing, so we know inside out about all the character & plot.

This part/season of the drama is only the beginning where we get to know all the important character & plot. We see how FL, Yan Yi Yi/Consort Rong (YY), maneuver the story so she can save herself. In that maneuver, she create new characteristic for her character that make ML/emperor fall in love with her.

The reason I gave the title Just like Unique Lady, because this part of the story end like Unique Lady, which mid-part. Actually in my opinion the more fit to give the title of this drama not season, but part 1. And how much I really hope MDL not separate them, cause it suck to separate the review like this....

Overall all the story for this drama just the beginning in here & I quite excited to continue follow this journey

Cute Couple!

I was surprised by how watchable this drama is. It popped up on my YouTube and I thought I’d give it a go! What a cute as well as entertaining short ride! :)

What I liked:
- The FL turned out to be cute and yet not annoying. This drama was the first time I saw her and I was pleasantly surprised by how adorable she was and how natural her interactions with ML was.
- ML seemed to be a newbie actor (I’m not sure) but he acted very well and was manly!
- FL and ML have good chemistry.
- I liked the shenanigans! FL constantly wanted to go to Cold Palace to the bewilderment of everyone else especially the ML.

It was a fast and entertaining ride! I liked it so much that I moved on to the second season. :)

Season 1/5 The writer falls, the mess begins!

This is hilarious! Nothing new but really funny! And I am very difficult when humour is concerned. I hate slapstick and similar kinds of humour. This is smart funny.

The plot is the usual short c drama plot: a novelist falls into her own book and has to complete tasks in order to get out. Here, she needs to be punished and spend 100 days in Cold Palace in order to leave. But her quirky personality is very much liked by the cold emperor and she has trouble being condemned no matter what she does.

What makes this drama fun are the characters. All of them: main and support ones. They all have their unexpected sides. Even the cold and distant emperor sees his high walls shattered to smithereens by the FL's antics.

Just like any other hitorical c drama, this one is well produced, rather pretty to watch, runs smoothly (I watched edited full version) and is extremely well acted. By the whole cast. The main couple have great chemistry and you cannot help but root for them.

This is the first part of the series so the story is far from over. I just hope they won't mess it up by adding too many new characters. I am curious to see where the story is heading. The emperor is head over heels for the novelist who is currently only interested in leaving her novel and is not particularly drawn to the Emperor.

This is a perfect short Ron-com costume drama after you watch sad ending drama

Many C-drama is pretty long, like 50-60 ep easily, but this one is only 24 ep so you can imagine it’s easy to watch without fast forwarding in the middle of episode when most long drama tends to get boring around 25-30.

It’s quite cute and funny romance with heart beating to see how ML tries so hard to get to close to FL. ML reminds me of my favorite handsome actor Liu Xueyi. So if you are his fan, watch this. And if you like romance with comedy touch, this is one of the good one.

When I have nothing to watch, I tend to repeat watching this drama.
