Revenge has many faces
This series can be seen on YouTube with English subs. The heroine is Zao Er, a cute but spunky girl who’s revengeful and endearing at the same time.
Synopsis
Zhao Er decides to crossdress as a male doctor to enter the house of the prestigious Family Ji to find out who was responsible for the demise of her parents. Her father was once the respected family doctor, but when she was still young he was wrongly accused for poisoning a concubine, and soon after murdered together with his wife. When Zhao Er finally makes it into the Ji manor under the disguise name of doctor Tian Qi, a series of murders and conspiracies unfold. Will she be able to revenge herself?
The Cast
I’ve seen actress Sun Qian in Take my Brother away. She was a cutie then and now, really expressive in her facial features. Huang Jun Jie is more than just handsome. I’ve read some complaints about his stiff acting, but I disagree. He has to play a stickler-for-the-rules kind of guy, so it’s kind of fitting, and they both are more compatible that way. Of course there are others at the cast, but I tend to forget them since I’m completely absorbed by the fluffy romance of the leading couple.
The Story
I know it’s silly to watch a girl playing a boy, and a boy who doesn’t recognize her at all. Imagine this boy is a bully too, and you’ve got all the drama cliches bound together from the past ten years. Still I love this stuff, knowing she’ll have her revenge later on.
The Music
This drama has some catchy tunes, but not too memorable. Thank g*d they didn’t fade out the songs due to copyright issues like some other series on YouTube.
Verdict
The good thing about this drama is there’s each for every one. Some traditional romcom with crossdressing, hate turning into love, a love triangle. Some who-done-it episodes for thriller lovers, and melodrama for couch potatoes with a tissue box aside. Of course, the heartbreaking moment arrives when our leads discover they've known each other from youth, only to be teared apart by their dark past, each on opposite sides. So, will they have a happy ending? Just watch the closure theme, and you'll know.
