Nice Thriller for duanju class
Its first Bad Ending for Zhai Yiying drama since almost all of her drama are Happy Ending. Shen Haonan suits for this kind of character (schizophrenic person). Zhai Yiying tries to get dark character and her effort is paid well.The Plot is about ML who wants to get revenge for his girlfriend (FL) murderers since he want to propose her but he saw her friends kill her until he hallucinated about his late girlfriend and admitted to psychiatric hospital. Few times later, He got test for being sane (He pretends to being normal to get out while he always hear FL whisper) and start his revenge against his girlfriend murderers.
For revenge arc is quite sad and satisfying ending for the enemies with ML struggles to being sane.
Recommended to watch.

Not Expected Coming from China
Woah. Did not expect this out of China. The ML's fiance was 🍇 and murdered by chaebols. After biding his time in a mental hospital he gets his revenge by taking them down from the inside. Using their own secrets, betrayals, and abhorrent actions to have them bring each other down. Throughout the entire show he sees his dead fiance interacting with him, showing just how far hone he was. In a world where Yu Menglong did not get justice (and given corruption in China/entertainment industry) and likely never will, the end was a stark warning to those who would think about vigilante justice. Almost as if this (IMHO award winning) entire drama was made to deter netizens from taking revenge on the people who murdered him.Was this review helpful to you?
