A Dama Caída Retorna (2025)

Quick, satisfying and easy to watch

Have you been watching historical/wuxia/xianxia dramas and been disappointed in how they finish off the villains? Perhaps they don't show them being punished, perhaps the punishment is too light or perhaps, and I hate this the most, they give them a redemption arc and a happy-esque ending?

Well worry not because this 21 episode mini-series has handled all the villains perfectly. Short on time they could not really show long torture sessions but they did the next best thing <3

The writing was good, they did stumble once in the end but then again as a mini-series they did not have much time to continue blundering so that saved it. The acting was good enough. The FMC has the chops for long series heavy screentime characters. The MMC however needs either more acting lessons or a different character- his expressions were too smiley (?) for this role. The side characters were good too.

All in all, for a short drama, this is worth your time and I would definitely recommend it

it was satisfying to watch! both the revenge and the romance was done well.

the acting was good! the costumes were gorgeous!!
the leads had good chemistry and understanding of each other. they were so clear about their affection to each other that it saved me from the frustrations of dragged out romantic misunderstandings.

what I liked about fl's character was that she didn't show fear or confusion the moment the original events were dealt with and new challenges were thrown at her. Aldo she fell in love with ml but didn't change her personality! she wasn't dumbed down for ml to look smart, they worked together perfectly. (except in ep 17/18 in which fl made a stupid move and got both of them in trouble)

Here comes my complaints about this drama:
-my main issue with this drama was the dubbing. specially in earlier episodes it was hard not to notice that the audio didn't match or wasn't in sync with their lips.
-the other issue could be the abrupt start of some episodes without prior build up from the previous episode. (though this is common in short length episode cdramas)
-episodes 17&18 were a bit too out of place and out of character for both leads in my opinion. so it deserves its own complaining line in my review!

So should you watch it?
*it's a decent one to start watching short cdramas if you are new to the format.
*it's quite fast paced so it's very binge worthy.
