Po Jian Xin Sheng (2024)

Refreshing fantasy tale of revenge & transmigration but too bad Zhao Xi Xi had little screen time

I was in the mood for Zhao Xi Xi dramas after finding out that she has mini dramas on wetv. I chose to watch this drama instead because of the short length and highly positive reviews. I was enraptured by the storytelling.

What I liked:
1. Writing - Wow, I didn't know where I was headed with this drama. I was on edge because of the plot twists. I liked how how the bodies were selected for FL to get her revenge.
2. Acting - Good performances by Zhao Xi Xi, Zeng Xi Tang and Wang Yi Lei. The supporting cast did well too.
3. Supporting characters - Pei Chen made the biggest impact for me because he had more to lose and well Li Ruo Xun was handsome.
4. Styling - Stylist who decided on Wang Yi Lei's final look should get a raise. The shit left unbuttoned, the ear cuff... be still my heart!

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - Mai Jia Ming was an evil man. The mistress was a b!tc#.
2. Screen time - Zhao Xi Xi had too little screen time for a main character so she didn't shine as much as other characters she's played. Wang Yi Lei even lesser than Zeng Xi Tang.

Why the leads screentime was limited than supporting cast?

I thought "Breaking the Cocoon Prologue" was the first season, but it turns out it's the sequel! I was so disappointed! But it doesn't affect the visuals much; the leads from other dramas are all incredibly good-looking. I didn't expect the first season to have so many plot twists! Watching the good parts in order should be even better, no wonder I didn't understand some of the plot in the second chapter.

After understand this drama, FL 's revenge is pointless; she doesn't save her son; she doesn't change the hosts' fates; she's reborn into nothingness. The kissing scenes between Wang Yilei and Zhao Xixi are absolutely mesmerizing but i feel they could develop more romance subplot since the leads screentime was quite limited due supporting casts.

I watched this since i love Zhao Xixi but personally i wont recommend this drama since it was complicated.
