Strong Cast, Weak Rebirth Script
I’m sorry, but this just wasn’t my cup of tea. This is another drama I genuinely wanted to like, as I have a soft spot for He Landou and Jerome Deng — I’ve enjoyed them in many other performances (I can recommend some if you’d like!). I also love rebirth-revenge mini dramas and have been gorging on them for the past two years, but unfortunately, this script just didn’t land for me.
The performances were wonderful, I loved the second leads, the costume choices were beautiful, and the basic premise was genuinely interesting. I thought this drama had great potential, and I could see where it could have soared — but for me, the script was the main issue. Unfortunately, I struggled with the overall experience solely because of it. I’m well-versed in short-form content and have watched plenty with excellent scripts, so I don’t believe the format itself is the reason behind my feelings. That said, it was a very short feature — only about five minutes per episode — so it was an easy watch for a rainy day and supported He Landou and Jerome Deng
