Encontrado y Perdido (2024)

Lacked creativity

Ah, another revenge drama where originality took a long vacation! The writer must have thought, “Why settle for one copy-paste storyline when we can have two?” So here we are, with both the FL and SFL on a mission to avenge their families—also seems like in china it's a trend that if you want revenge you have to be either an opera singer or bar dancer .. for the rest you can try changing your citizenship.

And our FL’s master plan? Very inconsistent sometimes her actions look very brave other times stupid. Either way with all her martial arts and weapon expertise she still can't deliver anything. For half of the show her face is shown beaten to pulp after one fight or the other .. yet there is absolutely no result .. as far as performance of the actress is involved,she can definitely work on her crying portion .. her sad and crying act doesn't feel convincing.
Meanwhile, our ML was either injured, dead, or just plain useless. 😒 His only part in the show was to kiss ..and kiss more.

The pacing? Chaotic. Secrets spilled faster than asked. After that everything seem flat and predictable. Moreover I personally felt villain of this show wasn't that invisible but he was portrayed like some god of cartels... Fool was just a watchdog to big fishes in the pond yet why he was left alive even when he was on the gun point multiple times. Beats me ...
All in all, this show lost me early on, then there was. No hope till the end.

Have a good cry

The actors were great, the cinematography is top notch, and talking about the leads, they are top dead gorgeous. ML is so handsome that you would like to see him again and again, also I like the FL, she nailed her character.
However, I think the plot was a bit rushed, they never gave enough time for character development, you would start with main leads, and they are already planning to take enemy down, and when you understand the story behind the villain is already dead.
Also there are scenes when directors are confused about the temperament of scene, because when Manli was captured by police, they show it as comedy, but then it become serious. It becomes hard to understand character that way.
Although I liked the FL role, but I think they didn't justified the ML character, because the villain along with his brother and some side characters has more screen time than the ML. And the ML didn't even done anything great, when he tried once, he got shot by a bullet, again when he tried he died. Can you believe that, they killed the ML, I BINGE WATCHED IT, and you telling me that FL WAS ALL ALONE IN THE END.
I was bawling my eyes out in the last episode, but its crocodile tears so don't worry.
But I'm disappointed, how can they just kill the ML, he didn't even have a proper fight with anyone.
There was dialogue it between and it stays true that, " After revenge, comes emptiness". Even I could feel that.
