Easy -to-watch and enjoyable enough .
✅️ The plot:▫️Remind me of The Princess Royal except in this one , our leads get to redo 3 lifetimes.
▫️Fast paced as expected of a miniseries .
▫️Interesting beginning and middle.
▫️The ending was quite lacklustre. A typical c-drama's ending.
✅️ Character, Acting:
▫️I liked the fact that both leads know how to fight and are equally wise .
▫️ It was refreshing to see a new faces as main leads here instead of seeing the same faces in every drama .
▫️ ML reminds me of a more handsome version of P.O and FL reminds me much of Ariel Lin.
▫️ Good acting from FL while ML's still need room for improvement .
▫️Romance and chemistry rating: 8/10.
☑️ Cinematography, Costumes, OST :
▫️Just good for a low budget miniseries.
My conclusion: If you want an easy-watching, tired of watching the same faces in your c-drama, want to watch a revenge drama but has little time for a 40 episodes revenge c-drama try this one, you might enjoy it.

Wished it has more eps
This drama, though short, but was indeed a highly enjoyable experience. The whole drama would have been even so much more satisfactory if it had been extended. The performances of the leads were fantastic! They really brought their characters to life in such a professional and enjoyable way. I was especially impressed by FL ❤️❤️❤️; her character was exceptionally well-developed and fit beautifully within the story. Her nuances and complexities brought profoundness to the drama, making her one of the standout characteristics. Adding with ML's character just makes it so much more engaging.The story was flawless and so enjoyable. The quality of this drama seems to be excellent to me. And the ending was perfect.
Overall I give this a 10/10 ⭐

Enjoyable
Super-super fast paced (sometimes confusing) but pretty enjoyable. I've binged it all at once since it is not long. The story it is not original but the actors make it good, especially the FL. But how hard it is to write an endings where the main characters are happy together and that it shows that, if that is how you want to end the series?! Just a close-up of the faces at the end is such a let-down.Was this review helpful to you?
Short and Bare Bones But A Thrilling Ride
A Jade pendant, Revenge and Rebirth may be a bit cliché but this Mini drama definitely takes those elements and weaves them together rather well. What first glance seems like a open-and-shut case get unraveled deeper and deeper then further down the spiral the leads go within the story.Where the show excels is with its fight scenes, wire work, and morally grey characters. Almost everyone has a reason for their actions, whether it is a "good" reason or not is beside the point.
As for the plot, everything is bare bones told, nothing extra added which honestly does sometimes mean things you would like to have further explained are dropped and not discussed or shown on screen. But as for the MAIN story, everything important is shown and discussed.
One thing I found interesting was that the ending was expanded upon as much as it was. Without spoiling anything, the main conflict is resolved and then there is a final bit of romance in the last bit of the show. There are MULTIPLE times I could have seen the show ending earlier with a "lesser" ending but the one we got was VERY satisfying in my personal opinion.
8/10
(If it had had the budget to delve a "little" deeper it probably would have been higher but there's only so much when some episodes are 7 minutes cutting out the credits).

Lovely quick binge
The episodes are very short, which makes the show an easy binge. The short eps definitely let to a more brisk pace and maybe less depth to be explored along the way, but it still managed to be of a quality level only slightly below a full length drama, and still a large step above other "short ep web dramas".The lead, Gia Ge, is absolutely fantastic in this. The camera loves her and her gaze can just hold its attention in a very powerful way. The plot has beats of romance, revenge, melancholy, beauty; and the show handles each with vividness and care and emphatic emotional impact.
The only criticisms I have are there were a few plotlines that get kind of dropped, or at least not as resolved as I would have liked. But everything still made sense in the end, so it was mostly just the short length not having a lot of room for more, and the writing decisions to be only... somewhat bloodthirsty ;)

Short series (20 x 20"), mysterious and intelligent.
PLOT: The FL is killed along with her family on her wedding day, but thanks to the ML (Prince whom she saved as a child), she is reborn and finds herself before her engagement. She wants to protect her family and take revenge.+++ Excellent actors (I really like the CL)
+++ Well-written story, with well-maintained mystery and suspense.
+++ Superb production: fast pace, magnificently bloody fight scenes, costumes, effects, lights, ... perfect!
### The episodes are very short (15" without credits) and a lot of points are skimmed over. The happy ending is just suggested.
=> Good series to spend an evening.
