Thing in the Palm (2024)

Transactional relationship with good camaraderie

I was in the mood for Wang Chen Peng's dramas after loving his recent drama with Bai Yan. This drama had been in my playlist since I also enjoy Li Ke Yi's acting. Overall I liked this drama.

What I liked:
1. Romance - It started off fake & transactional but I liked how it progressed into real romantic relationship. I liked that there was warmth from the start - FL & ML went into marriage of convenience without animosity.
2. FL's arc - She was daughter of a criminal & carried that stigma all her life. I liked how the arc was told. There was childhood connection between FL & ML.
3. ML's characterisation - I knew he had crush on her when he kept offering money for a task. However I didn't like ML forcing kiss on FL at the start of their relationship.
4. Supporting characters - I liked FL's friend & ML's assistant.
5. Acting - I liked the performance by Wang Chen Peng & Li Ke Yi. Good chemistry.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonist - ML's pursuer who was family friend and overstepped boundary. I also disliked ML's mother for disrespecting ML and FL.
2. Abuse - The abuse faced by FL was too much.

-Thing in the Palm(2024) is a splendid romance miniseries with Wang Chen Peng (as Qin Yu Chen) and Li Ke Yi (as Han Jing Ru) in the leading couple’s role. The cast did a very good job bringing their characters to life and the leading male was great displaying a wide range of emotions and creating a sensual aura when approaching the female lead which, once she realized that she was in love with the male lead, her facial expressions softened and she was nicely reciprocal to his feelings. Both main leads have strong characters and were straight and honest on their serious conversations. Overall, this series is quite entertaining, enjoy it!
