Wow
I normally don’t watch short dramas because there’s just not enough time to develop the story or the characters and jump over much needed content like the cow jumping over the moon - nice try, but it’s always a miss.But this one, even though it felt a little disjointed at the beginning grabbed me from about ep 3. And talk about chemistry? I had to open doors and windows for fear of the fire coming off my TV triggering my smoke alarm.
The story was good. Rich heiress finds the man she had a one night stand with 6 years prior, manipulates him a bit by holding money over his head to help his sick mother get the treatment she needs. Little does she know he still harbors feelings for her, and she for him, but her desire to have another child so that the baby can donate bone marrow for the son who has just entered the critical stage of leukemia.
They get married after signing a marriage contract with a 3 month duration.
Enter crazy gossipy neighbor who wants her daughter to be with the ML, but he wants nothing to do with her. The acting from these two is terrible. Alrhough the mother pulled off the vicious gossip harpy to perfection - something that either takes a lot of practice, comes naturally or she’s experienced that in rl. The daughter doesn’t care if the ML is married. She wants what she wants and will do whatever it takes including lying and aiding in kidnapping and putting the ML’s mother in situations that cause her many health related attacks. Nasty family. Their acting was terrible.
The ex boyfriend is one of those characters you hate right away. Anither one of those people who won’t take no for an answer, fabricate situations to achieve his end, and even attempted assault and murder. He’s awkward and creepy.
The ML’s mother is overly dramatic and prone to having fits, feigning illness and screaming to manipulate her son. Some of her antics are understandable based on past events.
Then there’s the crazy doctor who is the FL’s exboyfriend who turns out to be the creepiest stalker and manipulator ever. His acting was okay in some places, but mostly it was like watching a chunk of wood lumber awkwardly around and recite lines.
Then the FL’s jealous and crazy brother. Worst actor ever. He had crazy in his eyes, terrible morals and used his wealth to have goons beat and harass people into submission. His character reminded me of a cornered chihuahua who would bite and snap and attack, then whine and blame his insanity on the FL.
The FL’s best friend was finally one who wasn’t an airhead or bounced around from partner to partner. She spoke her piece and then left it at that. This was a refreshing change of pace.
Two more overacted characters were the FL’s father and the wicked stepmother. Neither were convincable in their roles, and the stepmother wasn’t really needed to make the story better.
I have not seen the ML and FL aim any dramas before, but I was impressed by both of them. Their dialog, interaction as a couple and intimacy screens were spot on.
The FL is not a pushover. She doesn’t buy into lies nor does she fall for manipulations for very long. She’s a protective mother and despite her sharp words to the ML, she loves him as much as he loves her.
The ML was very much a master in his role. Strong, proud, protective and completely dedicated to the FL and has a pretty strong EQ. He risked his life and reputation to help her and protected. And let’s face it. He’s got the visuals. Plus, he knows that a kiss between lovers is not supposed to look like dead fish meeting dead fish.

A web drama well done
Look, I have been in a string of poorly made web-dramas. When it wasn't the performances, it was the infuriating storyline; or both. And I am no fool, I know the golden rule it's to leave logic at the door of the first episode to be able to enjoy them but lately it's been really bad, fam.I started watching Rainkissed Fate with no expectations ,and maybe that helped but honestly? I think this is actually a solid drama. Yes, the story is wild and as I mentioned before I left logic behind, but the performances are really good for the material the actors have to work with. And the leads' chemistry? Off the charts. FINALLY.
This doesn't mean the drama it's not filled with annoying secondary characters that are so sure they are doing the best for the leads that they resource to CRIME or misunderstandings that need to be solved in order for them to be together but it all pushes the story and the relationship forward.
This was nice. At the very least, I was entertained for a several weeks.

Fight for life
Why did I watch this series and what did I like about it? Especially for the sight of the male lead's body.The chemistry between the two main actors and the plot... nothing special.
Then, her friend who wanted to be his girlfriend at all costs and was always in the middle to hinder their couple, was a real nuisance. How nervous, I personally would have sent her miles away. What a toxic and invasive person! Same thing for the little doctor who had designs on Bu Yan. A real obsession!
I wonder... wouldn't it have been better to say what the problem was and how things were?
This poor guy was beaten, threatened, "bought", betrayed and despite this he always proved to be a good person. Much respect.

cute at first then got irritating and repetitive
This was a cute little watch, I'm not expecting Oscar level acting or Emmy winning writing, very fun for mini series. The FL and ML had so much chemistry, the kiss scenes were amazing and I really loved seeing them interact on the screen , however, the story started to get very repetitive. Every 2 episodes one of them was getting hurt, if not both. The SFL and SML can not take a hint to save their life, they make this show so unbearable, its literally so hard to ignore. They would constantly pester the FL and ML even after being rejected a hundred times.Same note about the Fl's brother (hes an asshole), there were just so many characters that created unnecessary drama.
While the FL and ML gave the illusion of being mature, talking out their feelings and trusting each other, they were still very naive, and made stupid decisions (like the FL not telling the ML that her twins were his kids too). I'm not going to lie this show was just way too dramatic, its quick but there is a lot of drama.

This is making me so mad….
I’m eleven episodes in and, wow. This show is making me SO mad, lol. This abusive manipulative FL is a real piece of work! She gives him zero information, expecting him to just be a stud for her with no reason given, doesn’t think he’s worth knowing the kids are his, thinks her family is worth lying and scheming for, but USES his family, baiting his mom to force him to sleep with her….good grief. I’m going to keep trying but it’s SO bad…. Will come back and update if it gets better.Was this review helpful to you?

I feel like "pick up sticks"
The theme song is wonderful. The ML and FL have terrific chemistry and excellent acting skills. I would love to see them in a more conventional drama as well.I understand these vertically filmed dramas are a new genre. They seem to have their own rules. They remind me of the old fashion soap operas--overly dramatic but emotionally engaging. They're fast paced and somewhat shallow in content. They are immensely addictive. I would prefer seeing this particular drama as a more lengthy series and not chopped up into short segments. I am, however, binge watching this which says something for how hooked I am, but the frequent stops and starts kind of irritate me. I'm glad I'm watching this after all the episodes have aired.
Gaozheng Dai is totally hot. I will definitely watch more of his dramas. His kissing is off the charts. I like very much that the FL is sexually assertive and that their PG13 interactions are sensual. I do like that the drama is unashamedly sensual in nature and that the ML looks gorgeous without his shirt--over and over again. Thanks for that. Made my day.

Every Breath You Take
RainKissed Fate (2025) is a wonderful Chinese Melodrama which has the sauciness of the Korean Drama ‘Perfect Marriage Revenge’. This drama is about an Heiress (Bu Yan played by Chen Fang Tong), who has a one night stand with a Boxer (He Yu Chen played by Dai Goa Zheng), then she drops off the scene. When Bu Yan turns up pregnant with twins her family disowns her and kicks her out of the house. She is a strong woman and in spite of these issues, she builds a highly successful business. However, one of the twins gets leukemia, which sends her searching for the father for help.RainKissed Fate has the VIKI translation team named “How to Reclaim a Daddy”. The drama is a very sultry and a tantalizing romance drama of the ‘Heiress and the Boxer’. There is so much frisky physical contact between these two actors, you will stay up all night long to finish. RainKissed Fate is like the sensual Korean Drama ‘Nevertheless’, but still in a PG 13 kind of way. It is lots of fun with lots of visuals and heart throbbing action. There are 30 episodes, but each episode is less than 15 minutes per episode for this Chinese Drama Short. The Chinese are leaning towards Shorts this year. You can binge Rainkissed Fate in no time. This is the type of drama which will get you hooked to Chinese Dramas. You will look back and say, “This was my first one”.
Shorts are a new wave for Chinese dramas. Shorts have a short episode count and/or shortened time periods per episodes of under 20 minutes each. Grab popcorn and an air conditioner (required). You will need both.
Applying medicine is a love ritual.

Química INSANA dos protagonistas.
Não é o primeiro trabalho dos dois juntos, mas é surpreendente que ainda assim a química dos dois continua explodindo. A trama é envolvente e confesso que adorei ver eles nessa fase casamento - família - pais de casal de filhos.São episódios curtíssimos então não vai tomar muito do seu tempo. Adoro essa atriz e ela entregou tudo fazendo uma mãe dessa vez. Fiquei impressionada com a evolução da atuação dos dois também, até as crianças atuam bem.
A música vai ficar um tempo na minha cabeça haha.
(espero que nunca deixem de contracenar juntos, eles são muito bons juntos.)

Honigsüße Liebe!
Diese kleine, süße Serie ist für mich der beste Zeitvertreib am Abend in dieser Woche.. Ich habe mich entschlossen, eine Rezension zu schreiben, obwohl das Drama immer noch läuft, in der Hoffnung, das Interesse anderer zu wecken.Es ist eine bezaubernde Liebesgeschichte. Die Hauptdarsteller treffen sich nach 6 Jahren zum zweiten Mal und es wird sehr chaotisch ....mehr verrate ich nicht:) Besonders hervorzuheben ist die spannende Handlung. Die Hauptdarsteller kenne ich bereits aus ihren 2 anderen Projekten und ihre Chemie ist einfach unglaublich....auch die schauspielerische Leistung der beiden finde ich schlichtweg großartig!
Der einzige Nachteil dieser Serie ist, dass wir jeden Tag nur eine Folge von etwa 10 Minuten sehen. Hoffentlich gibt es auch ein gutes Ende für beide, aber meiner Einschätzung nach sieht es danach aus!

Una pareja espectacular con un guión que.... bueno... pero ellos valen la pena ?
Chen Fang Tong y Dai Gao Zheng tienen una química "insana", como dice otra review (me dio mucha gracia, por la expresión y porque puso en palabras algo en lo que coincido totalmente, jiji) Este es su tercer trabajo juntos, y están tan cómodos y trabajan tan bien, son tan naturales, que es un placer a la vista ver sus escenas. En serio, sus interacciones son lo MEJOR de todo el drama. Transmiten cariño, pasión, amor; son una pareja hecha en el Cielo. Además, la naturalidad con que tratan, se hablan, se miran, se tocan, hace que sean una pareja tan creíble que de a ratos lograron que me olvide de que están actuando.La producción: un gran, gran 10 en este drama. Las locaciones, los vestuarios: la atención al detalle para lograr el contraste entre la vida en el pueblo y la casa de la familia rica. El uso de colores, el equilibrio en las escenas, el uso de los juegos de luces y sombras y de los reflejos... una genialidad. AMÉ el vestuario de ella, sobre todo cuando está en el pueblo. Y Gao... ¿existe algo que ese hombre pueda ponerse y que no le quede DIVINO? 😍 Madre del Amor Hermoso, puede pasearse por ahí metido en una bolsa de plástico y va a seguir pareciendo de pasarela.
Lxs niñxs: ¡por fin una historia donde son criaturas normales y hacen cosas normales! Me encantó. Nada de cosas raras ni de actitudes artificiales.
La música: OTRO GRAN ACIERTO. Además de usar la canción de Forerver Love (un toque que a lxs fans nos emocionó 😍), la canción del drama es muy bonita y es un gran, gran acierto.
Lo malo: el guión. MAH, el guión es un delirio. Quisieron poner todo, y quedó un revoltijo. Pero yo lo solucioné fácil: me saltié todas las escenas donde no están ellxs, y listo. Soy feliz 😁
Conclusión: vale la pena verla siendo fan de esta pareja, por ellxs, su trabajo y por el infernal y BUENÍSIMO trabajo de la producción y de la música. El resto... (como la historia), mejor pasarlo por alto 😁

Recommended for you who love romantic+hot scene
"I didn’t think I’d actually finish watching the dramas at first. Because i thought boxer themes drama wpuld have a lot bloody scene. But after seeing their chemistry i decided to watch till the end. Simple plot and it turned out to be more about family matter. There were so many hot scenes that looked natural , i loved it. And the happy ending really uplifted my mood.Was this review helpful to you?
