Fu Chai Di Bok Yik (2026)

A New Low for Me (to finish watching this)

*note: I have never watched any other version, since others saying this is a “Marry My Husband “ remake, so I don’t have anything to compare

I thought Samantha’s role in Queen of News was interesting (kind of grey character) so I was interested to see this one where she is the FL (I also watched her in the variety show Joyful Grownups 2 and found her charming there). I am a native Mandarin speaker but my ancestral homeland is south enough (and dialect close enough) that I can reasonably understand Cantonese. But I don’t know if it’s a cultural thing or what but this story was just way too out there.

I get that she “travels back” to before she marries that gross Mark but just how much does she need to put up with?!? I guess that’s the beauty of this is to show anyone (male or female) that being a pushover does you no good. Also the show spent too long on the Ryan crushing on FL (I think they keep spelling her name Senna), that was just completely unnecessary. I did like in her “second” timeline that she was able to show up that stupid Sherman multiple times, from the classmates’ reunion to even her wedding (who was the one who told Sherman’s mom? That’s still a mystery to me). Her blaming Senna for her miscarriage was just the ultimate pinnacle of despicableness (thanks Sherman’s mom for once). Finally she gets fired.

The worst is the ending. Although Sherman finally does the right thing in the end, you don’t know what happens to her after she’s in the coma (she is now penniless and a vegetable). That despicable Mark is also not (yet) punished by the law but you only just know he is chased by the creditors. Although big bro finally “turns around” in jail, that was just way too easy. ML and FL are finally together but so lame - the only kiss the entire show was that accident from many episodes ago. Even the villains got so much more action than they did.

That ending song was horrible and really grated me (hence just one star for music). It was just so corny!

I do regret watching but unfortunately I am a never dropper so had to finish (also hated the speed these episodes came out). Better off watching Queen of News or Themis.

Started promising, ended like a wet fart

I know this is a Hong Kong edition of the Korean drama “Marry My Husband” so I will cut it some slack on originality, but the producers chickened out on some plot points and I think it says a lot about censorship on Hong Kong TV these days.

So Samantha Ko plays timid woman who has stomach cancer, is married to a terrible man who steals her money, a mother-in-law who doesn’t care about her and a best friend who has an affair with her husband. When she catches them both in bed at a hotel (this is a an important point as I will reveal later), she runs away to the street to be pushed in front of a car by her best friend and boom, death.

Except no. Samantha wakes up in hospital many months in the past before it all happened. She was in a short coma after getting hit by a car.

This is a common trope in many manhuas where the protagonist dies and regresses to the past to make changes to their lives so the same tragic fates they experienced could be avoided, so I was hoping it would be done well here. At first it seemed as if it was flowing smoothly and it was following the typical trope beats beat for beat, but then suddenly it started to get very TVB.

You see the hotel too I mentioned earlier? It is room 310, and I noticed in this drama that every single scene that involved a hotel and an affair occurring it would happen at this same hotel in that same room, and somehow the characters would easily get access to the hotel room card to get into that room to take photos. Like did the production team just rent one room at a hotel and film all the affair scenes in that room on the same day to save money? It felt so lazy and it annoyed me so much.

Kenneth Ma is the love interest for Samantha and I will give it to him, there were many scenes where he would do things to save and help Samantha which I found to be very romantic and selfless. Those echoed the Korean vibes immensely and made me like Kenneth a lot, but sadly Kenneth is a rather passive character other than for those scenes, not really doing much but reacting to things out of his control and assisting Samantha without question because he truly likes her. His conflict with his elder brother is a subplot that somehow becomes the final plotpoint the drama ends on instead of the main plot with Samantha. The weird thing is that besides from one kiss scene between Kenneth and Samantha, there were not really many scenes where they got intimate. This made their coupling rather forced and I hated that.

Samantha’s best friend is played by Rosita Kwok and Rosita was such a disgusting bitch in this drama. She has absolutely no shame even when her cruel schemes are discovered and revealed by the other characters, she is not afraid to push the blame all on Samantha somehow. The more I watched the drama the more I wondered how anybody would let her into their friend circle because she was just a hateful harlot of a woman. Her reason for hating Samantha was also so stupid. I won’t even mention the cause here because when it is raised I actually said, “What? That’s why?” Watch it and go wtf yourself.

Samantha does manage to push her best friend with her ex-boyfriend played by Jonathan Cheung so she avoided the future where she would be treated poorly by him, but it took almost over half of the drama for her to succeed. Jonathan was such a persistent cockroach that it took ages to make him leave her.

What annoyed me most of all was near the end when Samantha decides that she never actually regressed but it was her subconscious that deduced her future would be from all the evidence she already knew before going into a coma after getting hit by a car. This made no sense because in the entire drama all the events that she saw happened and she got all the occurrences correctly, so how could her brain have known of those things would happen with that much accuracy? This was a plot rewrite by the producers that made no sense and it feels like it was forced on them by some censors.

The final boss is Kenneth’s elder brother played by Ben Wong. It turned out Samantha’s initial coma and future vision was caused by Ben’s reckless driving. He tried to cover it up but as Samantha started remembering details about the incident, Rosita suddenly has a video clip of what happened and it has Ben as the driver. Yes, Rosita had time to push Samantha into the road, have the car hit Samantha, then she had tine to run back and hide and then get her phone out to film the entire thing, and only near the end of the drama did she go “yes I will bring this out now”. Such lazy writing here. In any case, she wanted to sell the clip? Her husband Jonathan arrives and tries to sell the same clip to cover his debts, Ben goes apeshit and decides to kidnap Kenneth to make Samantha bring the clip to him. It all backfires after Kenneth uses the classic TVB trope of appealing to the goodness of the villains heart, which sort of works before Samantha arrives with the cops.

The drama ends with Samantha proposing to Kenneth with a ting she bought for herself and we never hear anymore about Rosita or Jonathan’s ultimate fates. The ending was so lame I almost vomited.

Started well, but chickened out at the end and gave us a lacklustre load of crap.

Omg I nearly forgot to mention the end credit song. That S.H.E.R.O song, what on earth were they thinking? And the AI animated superhero characters based on characters in the drama were terrible! They looked like terrible IronMan rejected ideas, and Matthew Ho was done wrong here because his AI character looked nothing like his at all! Instead it kinda resembles Edwin Siu! Stop overusing AI please!
