A Fun and Whimsical Web Drama
“Be Yourself” is a delightful web drama that manages to pack a punch in its short runtime. Clocking in at around 14 episodes, each lasting about 6 minutes, this Youku production offers a quirky premise that combines food, romance, and self-discovery.
Plot Summary:
The story revolves around Chi Xiao Yu, an ordinary girl with social anxiety. One day, she stumbles upon a mysterious app that allows users to order a new persona just like they would order food. Imagine being able to change your personality traits or skills as easily as ordering takeout! Chi Xiao Yu dives headfirst into this intriguing concept, ordering various delicious “personality meals” to suit different situations. But there’s a catch: for every trait she acquires, she loses one she was born with.
What Works:
- Chi Xiao Yu’s Transformations: Watching the female lead act out different personalities is highly entertaining. From timid to confident, she navigates her interactions with her boss, Su Yang, who also harbors a secret.
- Hilarious and Heart-Thumping Moments: The drama strikes a balance between humor and romance. Expect awkward kisses and endearing encounters.
- Unique Format: The drama creatively portrays Chi Xiao Yu’s persona changes, reminiscent of leveling up in RPG games.
What Could Be Better:
- Pacing: While the story starts strong, it loses a bit of steam around the hour mark.
- Low Budget: As a web drama, don’t expect high production values. However, the female lead’s performance shines through.
Takeaway Message:
Beyond the entertainment, “Be Yourself” subtly conveys a valuable lesson: embrace your true self. The app’s offerings may seem tempting, but authenticity matters. People should love us for who we are, quirks and all.
Final Verdict:
“Be Yourself” is a fun little gem that combines food, romance, and self-acceptance. If you’re looking for a light-hearted watch with a dash of whimsy, give it a try!
