Thanks for these. I made myself a Youtube playlist for these dramas. I had watched the whole long-form Prisoner of Beauty so I'm excited to watch this new version.
Great, this would be a great service, since I've watched a number of shows based on your reviews.
But, I have a question about the short dramas. The Youtube titles are click-baity. How did you know that "Killed by emperor, she’s reborn, marries ruthless general who falls for her and makes her empress!" is a remake of "Prisoner of Beauty"? Does one have to be able to read the Chinese description? Or is this really an accurate translation of the Chinese titles for these short dramas?
It's definitely not the title. I think the uploaders often use an existing Chinese description or make up their own as click bait. They don't usually use the original titles probably because of copyright reasons. There are many drama providers now available in apps that one can download for mobile devices. From what I know most of the vertical dramas are from douyin and to repost them on YouTube can see them taken down. It's happened many times. Especially dramas featuring hugely popular actors.
Thanks for the recommendations! Here's a modern version of the revenge-escape plot and it's goooood (and steamy!). The two main leads have explosive chemistry.
I've seen at least 4 versions of this storyline with some variation regarding the ML. But the FL is an artist in each one. She's usually at the mercy of nutty relatives and one that's lusting after her.

Well, you've inspired me to finally figure out how to make separate playlist from my Liked list. It's something I've been meaning to do for some time.

LOL must be a popular trope! I like the ML in this one, a mob boss who's as crazy as FL is ^.^
