Decent Plot with Zero Chemistry

I like the story wise. The plot is quite decent but Ge Xiaoxi and Meng Jiahui didn't have any chemistry and another fake kisses by Ge Xiaoxi and feel Meng Jiahui is tried too hard to fill the CP (my sole point goes to him only) and feel bad for him.

Plot is about FL aka Meng Jiu Yi is underground reporter tried to get Juicy news of ML aka Tan Yu Chen and barely caught by him and tried to runaway but somehow ML is being drugged and found FL and they had sex and she escaped. ML tried to find about her (he knew her identity as her childhood sweetheart) and found her boss and threated her boss to met her again.

The plot is quite detail about FL family issue (her stepmother, her stepsister) but the biggest letdown is FL is quite miscast and her acting effort is barely exist.

Ge Xiaoxi needs to learn again about chemistry acting and her obvious wig always distracted me.

Decent version but too much cut

I watched Ge Xiaoxi-Meng Jiahui and Yang Shuyu-Wang Yilei. (I dont know if there is another version but i have feeling there is more than three) and this one is quite fine even it's not the best.

Plot is about FL aka Xu Nuo is underground reporter tried to get Juicy news of ML aka Si Jing Nian and barely caught by him and tried to runaway but somehow ML is being drugged by FL stepsister and found FL and they had sex and she escaped. ML tried to find about her and found her boss and threated her boss by making lure mission with condition it must be offline meeting and get mission to make FL ex school crush as target to get his crime.

The chemistry was fine even the kisses is not hot like usual Wang Yiran drama but the hint of sizzle chemistry is there. The plot is getting cut due the duration so there is many plot hole (FL childhood, her family downfall, the bodyguard backstory, etc).

Tian Tianyi is always deliver as cunning girl (her comfort zone) while Wang Yiran is doing usual good job.

Recommended for both actor fans and got few time for entertaiment.

The second version makes the first more decent.

I remember i only watch half-way since FL characterization is make my blood tense high until i recently watch Jin Jiayu-Xu Siqi version which make me curse and my neck hurts for blood rises.

Basically: FL aka Qin Sang is aloof traditional beauty who gentle outside but resilient inside while ML aka Sheng Yu just another Yandere CEO ML who has brain unlike usual CEO on duanju and secretly love fool. Plot is mainstream about past love with misunderstanding troupe. FL have sex with ML and left him without reason and got pregnant. While ML is getting yandere personality due FL leaving him without any words. Five years later they met again when FL forced to get blind date by her father and met ML and mistakenly as male host. The tug-of war is quite too long but the mutual redemption is fine since ML has character growth (while do some gRapey scene on first part and later ask for FL consent).

Plot pace is quite angsty at first but later is quite sweet. Zhang Liren is the highlight of the drama, he got mannerismand the chemistry between him and Zhao Fei is fine though he looks shorter due Zhao Fei's height (172 cm). Cameramen did their best on hiding the different.

I dont know if there is other version will beat the first version since second version is out and there is not really recommended to watch.

Wasted Opportunity for the Cast

I remember watch this drama last year and as far i remember this is the first version of the novel and try to rewatch for this review. I like the chemistry between Zeng Hui and Chai Huixin. The ML is somewhat douchebag and FL is just plainly foolish. What i never like on this film is kind of stalled because they only tell Female Lead was abducted to Myanmar (There is no season two, prepared to be disappointed) and its kind of ironic because latter versions have completed story and refined plot but the chemistry are subpar compared to Zeng Hui and Chai Huixin. 50:50 to recommend this because it giving bitter reality of this stalled project.

Patriot drama scam; it was common love story.

I watched this as someone who never watch long drama version so it based from my own experience. I watched this in the day drama was released.

I was expecting a heroic female general's inspirational story, but I was wrong. Well, this drama still rely heavily on kissing scenes and i was quite annoyed on the kissing on first scene since FL as general should instinctively get her judo skill if she encountered danger?

Although, I quite like Guo Yu Xin, I felt she wasn't suitable for the role of a female general Her characterization didn't quite match of her as a patriot general. The plot had many holes, and the cause and effect were unclear. You need to get through the confusing beginning. For the chemistry between her and Yan Zi Xian, it was still passable to watch.

FL speech was contradicting from the action for the example she said to crown prince "I will never allow my future to be about fighting for a man," is followed by her suddenly borrowing 50,000 troops from the crown prince to attack a Gu sect and rescue the ML.

The switching between the young and adult versions of the ML's scenes is very smooth and natural. Patriotic tale is scam, it is actually a story of personal romance, and the ending completely disregards logical details.

Only for hardcore fans of the actors.

FL was still dumb on her second life.

I watched this in Dramabox since most of Ye Ting's drama is more fast update in here and he didn't have any chemistry with Meng Lu.

This drama tried to cram in way too many elements. The first half was good, but in the second half everything suddenly became a mess. Too many verbal sparring that loses the focus and it become a snoozefest.

FL in first life is an idiot in her previous life chasing after a married man, giving blood of her daughter to the man's daughter and nearly killing her, harming her own husband and children for the other man when the man has a wife and is always scheming with the scumbag.

She really does not deserve the ML and children. Even after being reborn, she still never gives a clear explanation to ML and is entangled everywhere with the other man though she is trying to make up to her family for her previous life mistreatment of them. She really does not deserve her loving family and their hatred of her is real founded.

Not worth watching even for hardcore fans.

Quite bad drama even if you watch in that time and this time.

I watched this in 2024 and i know this plot was quite trend among short drama.

Plot is about FL who become substitute bride for her sister to marry disabled ML. FL only know her sister was having affair with FL boyfriend so she agree to become bride for disabled ML who turned out to be FL boyfriend uncle. When FL have wedding night FL ex wants to rape her and suddenly ML open his eye and scare FL ex. ML family suggest FL to get pregnant but ML don't want FL to be pregnant and will kill her baby if FL get pregnant. FL was actually pregnant lying she had abortion and using her ex name for medical checkup.

The acting and chemistry was that bad. It feels like you watching C+ drama assignment in your highschool since iit was obviously on-budget drama and yeah fake kisses strikes again.

The only decent acting is ML sister acting in here. Overall this drama was bad.

Fake Upright FL

I watch it because of Zhang Beixi even i dont like his character in here. I never fans of Li Ruoqi acting and yeah she cannot make me like the character.

I know the plot is quite common FL and ML break up and 4 years later they met when FL tried to make love with SML. FL get hymen operation to assure she is virgin lmao.

Genuinely felt bad for SML, He got into jail because her father did crime. His best friend backstabbed him to get his dream girl His dream girl just used him for revenge. Only his character deserve justice.

The ending was too hypocrite for me she want to get feminist stand by her but her action is saying otherwise always dependent on men. Ugh.

Not recommended. Full of FL hypocrisy.
