Tan Huan (2025)

I watched it solely for the male lead

I finished it and don't know why. I must be a visual and mental masochist to inflict this level of pain upon myself willingly.

This sh!t was turrible. (Yes, it was past terrible).

In most dramas involving a misunderstanding where the FL thinks the ML killed her family, it's typical of them to be stupid. They hardly ever do any real investigation, fall for every scheme and jump to conclusions without putting in an ounce of common sense into the process.

I thought Maid's Revenge was bad, but this one here takes the cake and throws it against the wall.

The FL does ZERO investigation, she doesn't peek around one corner to spy. Doesn't look into one drawer, eavesdrop on one conversation, interview one staff person or ask the only other person who was also at the scene of the crime one damn question to see if she can find clues to prove if the ML is innocent or guilty.

She just finds the keepsake she gave him by her dad's corpse and decides right then and there that the ML killed her entire family, even though he tells her multiple times that he didn't do it and is looking into who did. Also, he continues to rescue her from her own stupidity while she continues to plot against him to get him killed.

Like, if this dude killed off your whole family, he's that cold blooded, what's to stop him from killing you? Did she think she was too pretty to die? Must have, since her only goal is to throw herself at every man in the house in her attempt to get "revenge".

This series pissed me off.

Then after she gets her way, as usual, the ML's right hand man tells her what we have all been thinking, and she's left looking stupid. And this is where the series really screws us over. You hope to see her grovel for forgiveness, but nope. The next episode drops us into a rushed ending that feels like we missed at least 4 episodes in between. You're like "when did this happen?" And "where did he come from?"

Bottom line this series had no romance development, rushed ending, no time for reconciliation, no scene to show accountability on FL part. This FL is the worst I've ever seen and the writer and director must have really not liked the actress to make her play this role. And she didn't love herself enough to turn it down. Maybe she has bills on late notice to pay.

Either way... They owe us, the unsuspecting audience, an apology.
