unbeliebubble
Eye-candy "Noir" atmosphere but draggy sometimes : 2, 3, 4 scenes or settings by episodes.
Story : An heiress was deceived and betrayed then killed by her cheating husband. when reborn, she is set for revenge.
Well... The premise of this drama is great. And the cast was great in previous works, so I decided to watch this drama with high expectations. I didn't feel disappointed by the acting. The leads are great actors and the rest of the cast members are also doing a good job.
However the story could have been better. The script is simplistic. The 10 mn episodes are not showning enough development to my personal taste. The problem is not the shortness of the episodes. The problem is how the episodes are built. Several times I had the impression to watch 2 or 3 long scenes in the same setting. And I feel that, this might be the reason why the drama was a little too much slow paced.
In a nutshell : it is like a movie they cut every 2 or 3 scenes and they called it a drama. To me it felt weird.
Other than that, it was an easy watch if I don't question too much the accuracy of the script.
Pros :
- ML & FL are played by great actors that really liked in previous works : Dai Gao Zheng and He Hua.
- The story is good, even if it is very simple and the twist and turns are not surprising.
- The last twist at the ending is surprising and this is a good thing.
- Great premise for the story will a good villainess. But the villainess has no substance and character development.
- Beautiful cinematography : the "noir" atmosphere is eye-candy. Sometimes it make the characters even more beautiful.
- I also liked the lighting is this drama. Sometimes it was just amazing.
- DGZ is good at fighting.
Cons :
- The chemistry is ok but not top notch in my opinion.
- FL was annoying to me because she was foolish in my views. I mean, If you had to beging again with the aim of avoiding being killed. Would you trust the same people you did before? And FL was strong for a moment and then she was weak a minute later.
- Low pacing because of how the episodes are built.
- Some clichés and tropes.
- The ending. As usual you have to decypher the ending.
Overall :
I recommend this drama if you are fan of the cast and you have time to spend for an easy-watch.
You are ready to not question the accuracy of the business talk. Then this drama is for you.
If not, you migh feel bored by the slow pacing and the 2 or 3 scenes/ setting episodes.
I am sorry because I like Dai Gao Zheng and He Hua a lot, and I wish their next project is better crafted.
