Love After Reborn (2024)

Sombre tale with captivating ML

I don't remember what made me to check out this drama but I save this drama to my Youtube playlist after few minutes of watching.

What I liked:
1. He Jian Qi - He is handsome but what made me drawn to him is his gripping performance. He was expressive with his character's feelings from indifference to anguish and sincerity. The styling (hair & outfits) for his character suits him so much.
2. Plot - I like how the story progressed and scenes with villain were not draggy.
3. Supporting characters - The actor playing FL's friend & senior gave good performance and was handsome. Has potential to become ML in other dramas. Too bad I don't know his name.

What I disliked:
1. Romance - There wasn't much time dedicated to romantic scenes as ML & FL were more in indifference & anger stages. However the kiss between ML & FL was hot and passionate.
2. Length - This drama is just slightly more than an hour if I am not mistaken. Wish for extended scenes for example the reconciliation.
3. FL characterisation - Underdeveloped and distant. Hard for me to root for her.

Favourite scene:
Whenever ML felt anguish.

Iconic acting

What a performance… what a brilliant performance by He Jianqi. My god, babe, I’m still crying... and you know I don’t cry easily. They say an actress proves her talent in ruthless scenes, but an actor becomes a legend when he nails the emotional moments… especially the loss-of-beloved scene. Only a few men can pull it off like Luo Yunxi in TTEOTM, and now He Jianqi just joined that league.

As for the plot? Ahh… let’s call it what it is — mediocre.
FL is exhausted from seven years of a failing marriage.ML blames her for his ex-lover’s death.
Broken and defeated, she attempts suicide.
She disappears… and then the ML finally realises what she meant to him.That’s literally the story.

But Jianqi? He carried this entire drama like a one-man army. The FL did well, though her character barely had anything to do. The actress playing the vamp… honestly, she needs a full acting workshop. Imagine being in a cast with such strong leads and delivering that performance... painful.

Still, the drama hits. Best enjoyed with a bowl of noodles and a cold can of Coke.
