So, to be honest I am also quite dissapointed with this one.

The storyline definitely had potential and the actors did their job well and fit perfectly. However, I feel like it was not well thought through and somehow lacking.

What bothered me most was that the FL wanted to be just and upright, as her father, but she betrayed her fiancé several times and played with both guy's feelings. Uncool. I know it was supposed to be a love triangle, but it felt so wrong.

The ending was sloppy and a bit random. Most annoying that we don't get what we were made longing for this whole time. Either make her marry her fiancé and be as upright as she wanted to be. Make him change for her or something. OR let her be with the other guy, but I want a certain ending!

A circus of misplaced emotions

I don’t know what I was expecting from this drama, but it definitely wasn’t this circus. The plot had potential, like most pre-Republican stories, but again the writer forgot how to actually use it. The female lead is on a revenge mission, but her idea of revenge is pulling out a gun 99 times and only shooting once. The rest of the time she’s busy kissing the ML and smudging her cheap red lipstick all over his face 🤡. No investigation, no planning, no brains. Just 💋

And somehow, she also wants to save society. Like girl, you can’t even save your own storyline.

The ML was all action, no delivery. Though I’ll give him some credit for doing our useless FL's share of investigation on her behalf. His reaction after killing his brother was just weird fake guilt, especially when both leads were hooking behind his back.

The SML wasn’t some tragic hero either. He claimed he loved her and dreamed of marrying her, but goes missing whenever his presence needed. Both times the FL was humiliated by that leacher man sent by his own father to rape her, this So called lover boy was nowhere to be found. Instead He followed his traitor father like a loyal puppy, ignored her pain and loss altogether. In fact He didn’t even try to hold his father accountable for conspiring against the nation. And the one time he “thought of her,” his brilliant plan was… running away. Not standing with her to face the odds Just running. Peak spineless energy.

So no, I didn’t feel bad for him at all. A man without backbone deserves the fall he gets.

Still, I liked that the story gave him some dignity in the end. The FL and ML went their separate ways, and she stayed engaged to the SML… or at least that’s how I interpreted her staring at the ring like it was a life decision instead of a piece of metal.

If the writer deliberately wrote this nonsense to make people hate these characters then I will this was an extremely good attempt but the writer was expecting as to feel sympathetic with them .. then I am sorry my sympathy has it's own IQ ..i can't feel it for these characters clowns even if I want to.

Would like to see a season 2 for this movie

Enjoyed the movie and hoping for a season 2 to continue the relationship of the two main leads. The female and male leads were perfect for this story. The tragedy between the two male leads was unexpected. After 15 years of being apart, do they get back together or does the story go in a different direction? First time I've seen really serious kissing in a Chinese film from the main leads.

Obscene story that praises adultery and betrayal by women

Another disgusting CDrama written by women feminists to encourage adultery and betrayal of husband/fiancée.

This ridiculous story is set in the 1930s/40s, when betrayal by women would have resulted in severe punishment. But in this story everyone including the father of the fiancée is praising and helping the woman who is betraying his own son.

The female writers of China have lost their minds and have become total retards.

:/

Qué decir... venía todo dentro de lo esperado; estos minidramas siempre tienen cosas de dudosa explicación, bastantes situaciones "milagros del guion" y deus ex machina. Este no es la excepción, pero la historia estaba buena, era atrapante, y la pareja principal tiene química. Los besos son un 10 (además, no los escatiman, otro 10 más). Veníamos más o menos bien... hasta el final. ¿¿¿QUÉ FUE ESO??? porque seguro, un final no!!!


SPOILER
No sé qué les pasó en la vida a los guionistas, pero seguro fue algo muy grave para que escriban EL PEOR FINAL que vi en mi vida. Y es mucho decir. Ni siquiera es objetable, o abierto. NO, ES PÉSIMO Y NO HAY POR DONDE AGARRARLO. NO TIENE DEFENSA. ES HORRIBLE. ES TAN MALO QUE NO TENGO MÁS CALIFICATIVOS.
Una pena por los actores y actrices, que hacen lo que pueden, en especial el trío principal, que lo dan todo.
FIN SPOILER

Y es por eso que no la recomiendo. Vean las otras producciones de estos actores y actriz, seguro están mucho mejor.
