Fu Ren (2025)

A good mix of reverse harem, fantasy, romance & revenge!

Judging by the rather low overall rating (7.4) at the time I started watching this drama and the fact that fantasy isn't really my favorite genre, I didn't expect much but after watching the first 2 episodes, I find it quite fun to watch!

the acting is good, and on top of that the cast are all so good looking!
the bickering of Ao Jue and Chong ming is fun to watch and the chemistry is good! (I don't mean it just as romantic but as a trio of 3 strong different characters that get along well despite the arguments)
the three of them make such a great team!!
I think it could count as a reverse harem drama in the first half but in second half it turns into the typical romance drama match up of couples.

The scenes are entertaining, and somewhat over the top but it's neither cringe nor awkward.
I like that the drama doesn't beat around the bush that much and gets straight to the point. (for example the introduction of the characters were done the way it wasn't difficult to figure the relationships).though it did drag a bit in the last 6 episodes.
they all desire something and are willing to do what it takes to get it.

The cgi is okay.
The ost was nice.

the few complaints that I can come up with are as follows;
-the dubbing sometimes feels off (a bit out of sync) but I could overlook it since it wasn't to the point of distracting me.
-some episodes starts in new plot points that didn't have any build up from previous episode's ending.
-the mask man's identity was easy to guess! I said it was too easy because I'm not the type to analyze stuff while watching dramas and I usually let the drama surprise me with a reveal. (by ep 5 it's hard not to know and that's a bit too early for a 24 episode drama)
-I'm nitpicking on this one! Although they did a good job for casting of the sister, the casting for fl's teen years left me speechless.


It's one of the good short cdramas and you might have to stretch the logic for some parts but it's not as severe to the point of making it silly.
The ending was done well and didn't disappoint.
I think it was worth a watch.
