Great Cdrama ever
Well this drama was a rollercoaster. But I would call this drama a dark romance story straight Outta Wattpad.The story is good, cinematography is also good ✨ but actors lacking in acting skills . They lack so much in expressing their feelings. Like, female lead is just there without any expressions. A little more expressions and acting skills would've made this drama even more better.
I also think this drama lack a little bit of logic. There are few things in their storyline that lack so much logic. they could've shown with more logic than just doing it in a dumb way.
Let's talk about characters now.
FL- her acting skills lack so much. But let's give it an applause for the chemistry and tension with the ML. Her character isn't one of those typical FLs where she's just sooo " oh hero pls save me my prince charming, I'm weak and fragile ", but she's not " that's how it's done love " type of girl either. She's not that smart but not that dumb either.
ML- this guy!! I think he played his role pretty well with all those dark and morally grey vibes. All the fighting scenes were awesome. A little bit logic with his actions would've been great😂
Overall it's a nice Cdrama I've ever watched till now in romance department. Romantic Scenes and chemistry is on point!! I'll probably re-watch it!!

Surprising little watch
I started watching this from a clip I had seen on youtube for it and can't believe how sucked into it I was. The ML was definitely someone to watch in this show. His action scenes and intimate scenes were so good. The FL wasn't bad but wasn't what kept me into this show she was great in her scenes with the ML they have chemistry. Plus the decisions they had her make sometimes were not the greatest but I wouldn't say they were completely dumb either. The episodes I felt went so fast that I was getting through it before I know it and I really just wanted to know what happened.One character I have to mention is Ling Yuan. He is also a really interesting character even though a lot of it is really creepy but the actor plays it so well. You think he is the master mind behind everything but really he is really a sad person about what has all happened, and he has been used by his dad. Didn't feel bad for his dad either he drove his son into what ends up happening. I know Ling Yuan did make some bad decisions and he isn't completely innocent but he is also not the most terrible villain either.
I say it was at least worth the watch for a short little drama.

bien mais sans plus
alors j'ai regardé le 24 épisode sur plusieurs jours avec des pausesj'ai aimé mais trop de rapidité dans les épisodes
pas assez de développement dans l'histoire
beaucoup de scène avec des bisous forcé
énormément de violence mais ça je le savais
après les acteurs principaux on bien joué leurs rôles je les vues un fois mais je ne le regarderais plus j'ai toujours du mal avec les dramas a cause des longueurs mais là ça allait mais franchement je ne le recommande pas

eccitante !
Serie pessima nell'ambientazioni,budget probabilmente bassissimo, attori Non un granché tranne Ren.... Ma assolutamente da vedere eccitante dall'inizio alla fine non ci fa mancare brividi, mal di pancia e ansia..vista tutta dun fiato. se la regia da una parte è stata bravissima nelle scene più hot in tutte le altre scene era terrificanti quanto fossero false e quanto gli attori fossero assolutamente inappropriati. Comunque vale la pena di guardarla perché è veramente emozionante.Non me lo sarei mai aspettata da un drama orientale. Baci pazzeschi!!!Was this review helpful to you?
Didn't want this night to come to an end ...
About the storyThe drama was good ..like real good. . the plot was interesting.. good paced less cliche .. dialogues/ script were to the point .. there is balanced amount of suspence , mystery , chase ,action and romance .
About the cast
The ML (Jesse ren) was amazing I have seen him in support role in a few dramas but this was my first time watching him as lead ... And he did commendable job ... He is in such a great shape .. his act was also good and his kissing scenes were bomb
. 💣💣💣 ..HE IS THE ONLY ACTOR I HAVE SEEN WHO USES HIS TONGUE WHILE KISSING ONSCREEN Like moving it all the way inside the co actress mouth 😆😆😆 (or tell me they were dating for real)
FL is such a cutie .. I must say she is one of the most gorgeous girls I have seen in Cdramas far far better than a lot cdrama actresses who look excessively plastic and can't act at all. Her acting was also good the only thing that I felt odd about her acting was she didn't keep a good difference between the double roles she played (both sister's characters were extremely over lapping)
About the music
It was fine for a drama ost nothing appealing as such
Re-watch value
I read the comments section of this drama on YouTube and there were already a lot of viewers who were watching it for third and fourth time ... I myself will definitely come back to this one ..❤️❤️
Overall this drama was totally worth my time .

Psychotic ML and a story that went off the rails
This drama started our so well and I had such high hopes for it. It was intense and action filled and I was really rooting for the characters. Then somewhere along the line, the ML had a personality switch and completely one eighty-ed into a psychotic and toxic alpha male who I didn't like at all. His character was ruined imo, and I couldn't root for him anymore despite still liking the FL. It ruined the story that his character changed so much and the story itself dragged a bit and although I absolutely loved it at the start and appreciated all the action, this drama went of the rails towards the end and it ruined the story due to lack of consistency meaning the characters weren't believable.Was this review helpful to you?
Suspenseful, action, and romance helped to make this movie worth watching.
There were ample suspense, action, and romance scenes to keep the story moving and interesting. The story has a good beginning that piques the viewer's interest to see what will happen in the next event. The acting of the main leads and supporting actors was good enough considering what they had to work with. The main male lead's consent intimacy with the female lead has you wondering if he was taking advantage of the female lead or if he had feelings for her.Jesse Ren's features resemble a younger Liu Yuning and could pass for Yuning's younger brother. It is evident that this is a low-budget film, and the cast had to work hard to keep the viewers' interest. Compared to other low-budget films, at least this film didn't have annoying background singing and unbearable sound and acoustics.

It plays on one thing - and plays on it a lot
The amount of times the FL gets held, pushed, pinned to the wall/bed/sofa far exceeds any other dramas I’ve seen. If those kind of scenes trigger you negatively, then stay away. If not, it was the chemistry between the ML and FL that kind of kept this worth watching from my pov.There were things that bugged me in the story (which I’ve already forgotten after a few days), so can’t exactly say it’s memorable.
Although I didn’t really like him, the 2nd ML was an interesting character, and his acting was decent.
So, if you are looking for something with a bit of action and suspense but story doesn’t have to be very strong, and you don’t mind a lot of male dominance, then this is something that can help you kill time.

It wasn't bad at all
When this just came out, I watched it up to episode 6. The ML acting was good but the other elements wasn't giving.I was influenced by tiktok to pick it back up and truthfully, it was not that bad at all for a short drama.
I love the tension the leads had between them. They had good chemistry and it shows in the BTS.
The storyline to me was just okay as it was very predictable but it was still fun to watch. I hope that ML gets into bigger roles.

C drama estranho
As pessoas estão enlouquecidas com esse drama, então resolvi dar uma chance para assistir... confesso que eu não consegui terminar. Uma história mal elaborada, umas interpretações muito estranhas, eu não consigo entender como as pessoas acham normal o relacionamento do protagonista com ela. Um cara possessivo que vive amarrando ela por aí, não consigo achar isso normal...... Assistir até o décimo primeiro episódio e não consegui termina, eu creio que as pessoas gostam por conta da proposta diferenciada mas realmente é uma coisa muito rasa, ainda mais que os episódios tem entre 10 a 15 minutos. Não pretendo terminar de assistirWas this review helpful to you?
