Wen Rou Shou Hu, Chong Sheng Hou Bei Zhen Chong Shang Tian (2024)

There Are Always Bad People Who Want to Hurt Me is a 2024 historical to modern times romance drama with some hilarious comedic moments. The drama has Jia Pei Kai as the male leading characters Daxi Emperor/Gu Jing Ci and Zhu Mo Yan as the female leading characters Shen Qing/Shen Si Wei. The leading couple has very good chemistry, especially on their playful moments since, even though their fondness is nicely conveyed, the romantic scenes are blurred and short, which made those moments seem fake. Aside from that, the drama is very entertaining, enjoy it!
The drama can be found on YouTube under the caption: “NEW [There are always bad people who want to hurt me]1-97All episodes” or “After being betrayed, he reincarnated as a CEO to find his previous life lover and seek revenge”.

Good transmigration tale marred by lack of romance

I am a fan of Zhu Mo Yan but has never watched her historical drama. This had been in my playlist for awhile so I thought why not watch it while I am on historical vertical drama phase. I was disappointed by this drama.

What I liked:
1. Jiao Pei Kai / Bai Fang Wen - This is my first time watching his drama. He was quite endearing and comical as ML. I liked him enough to explore his other work.
2. Li Sheng Jie - I wasn't sure it was him at the start but once the drama hit halfway mark, his appearance confirmed my suspicious. It was good seeing him as a sinister SML as I've only watched him as kind ML.
3. Transmigration arc - It was fascinating to see ML being transmigrated because most transmigration dramas had FL experiencing it. I also liked the very last scene.
4. Zhu Mo Yan - This wasn't her best role but I liked her character during the ancient times. Her outfit looked great as she looked convincing as minister/right hand person to the majesty.

What I disliked:
1. Romance - There was so much resistance from FL that there was barely any romantic scenes in the drama. The poster to me looked like a romcom but in the end gave me false hope.
2. Jealousy arc - With running time of almost 3 hours, I'd say this drama gave too much screen time to the antagonists. It was draggy that I was playing on my phone i.e. didn't pay attention to the subtitles.
3. Styling - I have issues with FL's shoes. They didn't match her dress. I am not sure if she was given flat shoes to maintain height difference with ML but c'mon, give her pretty sandals or ballet flats.
