Niangzi Zai Shang (2023)

Wife Above All is a miniseries set in a historical era that tries too hard to give the audience a comedy, action, revenge, and romance plot but it does not deliver any of these genres properly. The female leads are the dominant characters in the story and the male leads, which got married with ulterior motives, go to a process of learning how to become the right husband for their respective wives while battling a court antagonist, diseases, lies, and revelations. The drama is not well written for the main characters and one of the couples, Mo Jing Yu and Yun Zi Long , even after they supposedly fall in love and are willing to die for each other, end up been separated at the end in just an amicable and nonsensical way. The second couple, Mo Ban Xia and Qin Chong Lou, had a better storyline and it was nice to see them falling in love and supporting each other. The only well done part of this drama is the insightful and comedic side story at the end of every episode.

The right fluff that I was looking for after a very angst series!

Hey, why did this series get such low views? It's really impressive, especially for a short series!

The concept is very modern, and I love it! “Live in Husband”? That’s a refreshing plot for a c-drama. It stands out from the typical slapstick humor associated with many shows with this kind of plot, focusing on a casual, ordinary life with an engaging storyline.

The actors fit their roles perfectly, which is rare for a short drama. If you know what I mean! It portrays a lighthearted and casual c-drama that’s perfect to unwind with after a busy day. I really hope the cast gets more projects soon!

I love the couple dynamics. There’s no drama between the two daughters, and they have a great family dynamic! Since it’s a short series, it focuses on the four main characters, which I really appreciate. I also enjoy the vibe of the two male leads; their friendship is top-notch, and the bath scene really showcases that connection. This is a solid friendship! They each have their strengths, especially the two female leads.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if the roles were swapped (the general got married to the second daughter and vice versa), but that thought disappears the moment you see how fated they are to be with each other, ultimately becoming good friends.

Gosh, I love this short series!

If you just finished “Starry Love” and are feeling a bit of a hangover from it, then definitely watch this show. It offers fluffy moments and explores the “what ifs” when the two couples spend time together without the usual dilemmas. It beautifully illustrates the positive relationships between sisters and a brother-in-law. The parallels are great and made me realize why “Starry Love” stuck with me and why I watched it twice. This series provides the closure I needed to feel satisfied knowing that everything ends well and happily.

MUST WATCH!
