Beautiful Reborn Flower (2020)

Tissue Rate (aka how much I cried); 1.5 out of 5 (this was mostly out of anger/irritation)

To start off, I've NEVER EVER have been so annoyed/irritated watching a drama. This drama shouldn't even be 50 episodes. It's like BS adding on BS... One after another. Like please, I just want the two main characters to be happy without so much BS.

The storyline is not bad, its just the characters that are just annoying. But still I felt like this drama should've been at least 30 episodes, not 50 episodes... A lot of the scenes were very unnecessary and problematic, it felt as if the writers had it in mind that they wanted 50 episodes but after half way of the drama, they ran out of ideas to keep it going so they just added BS plots points until it got to episode 40...

Character thoughts; Ah Li (second female lead) is just so annoying and she really needs to stop trying to win He Ping's heart, like girl you know he has feelings for someone else. It's annoying to see her get jealous of Qiao Man over smallest things. Ah Li claims that she helped him a lot when he had nothing and she just wants him to like her back in return. But he has told her MULTIPLE times that he thinks of her as a older sister and would never date her. Everytime I see a scene with her in it involving Yang Lan (her assistant) in it, I feel disgusted with their actions smh... I hate people who are just so manipulative and just wants everything to go there way and is always playing the victim.

After episode 24, I was like "omg Qiao Man and He Ping can finally be happy together." But no, I was wrong. Of course, there were going to be more BS on top of BS. I just wish all everyone can just respect Qiao Man's choice with being with He Ping. Everyone just thinks they know what's best for Qiao Man, like she is a WHOLE adult and she can make decisions for herself. And they should also consider her feelings, if she is happy then let her be and let live her life.

This is a decent drama overall, it just gave me a few hundred headaches but anyways I would recommend this drama, if you want to be extremely stress and want your head to blow up lmao.

So I just want to start off by saying I didn't hate this melodrama but I am disappointed. I agree that there was a lot of unnecessary scenes and not enough romance between Nan Sheng (Qiao Man) and He Ping. I also found the ending to be nonsensical, after regaining her memories how could Nan Sheng be so cold and unforgiving towards He Ping yet be so forgiving towards Hansen who essentially kidnapped her and lied to her about her identity and didn't even try to find her family, as well as Qiao Feng who essentially used Nan Sheng to replace her own dead sister, how in the entire world could Nan Sheng feel comfortable going anywhere with that psycho? Did she not care at all how He Ping and his mother felt? I understand her feelings towards Shen completely because how dare you act all buddy buddy and like everything is normal after you killed my daddy and only come clean when you thought I was dead and as for Ah Li, she should've been to prison so many times like it was all so unrealistic and it shouldn't of taken till the very end to regain her memories that's not even reasonable. Barcelona and all the flashbacks absolutely meaningless, Luo Chen another psychopath, I honestly thought he was going to be the one to solve the mystery but he was just useless and annoying I didn't get his deal at all. I liked this drama because it kept me interested but it was rather frustrating, I would like a S2 solely for the purpose of rewriting a better story that makes sense because there's no way a man who I don't know (Hansen) can tell me "Oh yeah I actually found you long ago but I was so infatuated with you that I didn't even bother to try to find your family or friends, instead I wanted to wear you down so you'd marry me, I don't care if you ever loved me", and me being like "Oh ok, let's go back to Barcelona." Meanwhile the love of my life and my mother who have mourned me and my father for years I leave them without a word? Who would do that? That makes no sense and then in the end He Ping goes to Barcelona to see her and they have a silent conversation with their eyes and she thinks "He Ping, I missed you." Girl what??? So a S2 is definitely in order or a remake of this drama because it was good but also extremely awful. I don't blame the actors they could only do so much with this script, I wish I could've taken part in writing the adaptation of the book, it would've certainly turned out better than this.
