The Revenge of Begonia (2024)

Dark revenge tale charged with sexual tension. I liked it!

I was in the mood for more Yang Jie dramas because the previous drama I watched was not satisfying. Came across this title and immediately watched it because her co-star is Zhang Yun Tao and there was only 1 working link listed in the comment section. I enjoyed this dark drama.

What I liked:
1. Revenge - FL was convinced that ML's mother killed her parents & uncle so no further investigation required. She went straight into design & implementation of her plan.
2. Acting - Great performances by Yang Jie, Zhang Yun Tao and the actress who portrayed ML's mother. Terrific chemistry between Yang Jie and Zhang Yun Tao. Wonderful to see action scenes performed by both of them.
3. Romance - Now there were more push than pull and some toxicity but my gosh the sexual tension was electrifying whenever both FL & ML were in close proximity. They definitely desired each other.
4. Styling - Very beautiful qipao worn by FL & ML's mother. Zhang Yun Tao looked handsome in republican era military uniform.
5. Ending - The story was nicely wrapped up. I think the couple deserved that fate.
6. Supporting characters - FL's friends, ML's right hand man were good addition.

What I disliked:
1. The third act - I felt it was rushed especially when the big bombs were dropped. I wish the murder of FL's parents were told in a different way.

Favourite scene
When FL was pressured to kill someone
