La Heredera (2020)

Un argumento conocido con un toque original

comentario después de 4 episodios: Parece una historia bastante trillada: se me ocurren 2 o tres dramas que tratan de chicas disfrazadas de chico, en un entorno escolar (tanto actual como en ambientación histórica). Sin embargo, en esta ocasión, me encanta que la protagonista no vaya maquilladisima, sino con la cara lavada, y se comporte como un muchachito (dentro de lo que puede)… hace un poco más creíble la situación..
En mi caso me gusta más el SML, pero supongo que será cuestión de tiempo..
Iré actualizando la reseña conforme avance

Vistos 16: me gusta cada vez más. Ambos MLs hacen muy buen papel y la FL actúa fenomenal en su papel!!

Vistos 22: Merece la pena terminarla.

Start for the comedy, stay for the drama and end with frustration

So back in 2018, there was a tv show called "Legend of Fu Yao". And it was pretty great. Good story, interesting storylines and characters. Good acting. It had it all going for it. It got a little messy with some side stories, but the main plot was worth it so I watched that show for 60+episodes. And I got rewarded with the final episode wrapping up the final plot leaving behind gaping plot holes, in a weak conclusion that took 10 mins and a 45 second shot of the "Happy Ending for the heroine and hero". I was so angry. And now, whenever a promising show with everything going for it, pulls a "quick, conclusion without a satisfying ending", I call that "Pulling a Fu Yao". And that's exactly what this show did.

They pulled a Fu Yao. The first 21 episodes are worth it. They've got good pacing, a reasonable plot and the actors are interesting to watch. I don't even mind that (SPOILER ALERT), they don't end up together, something that is actually foreshadowed in episode 15 when Wang'er shows Shiyi the last episode of his play "The Heiress" and his female protagonist doesn't end up with her Prince. But Shiyi and Yanyi's split happens ridiculously quickly with very little build-up, and Wang'er's contribution to it seems stupid considering that he fesses up to it as she's leaving, but by then she's had enough.
The final scene of them ALMOST meeting and missing each other is just CRUEL to the viewer.

I don't think I'd watch all of it again, but I'd watch certain scenes that I really enjoyed. And the only reason I'm not more annoyed at this drama is that I only had to sit through 24 episodes to get a dissatisfying ending, and not Fu Yao's 60+
