Queen of Darkness (2025)

It should have been good...

It started off cheesy and hilarious and sexy. So idk what went wrong. But it's like a snoozefest sandwiched between a hot beginning and a hot ending. The middle is SUCH a slog. I mean the kisses were great. But the kilig is really really missing, and it didn't have that My Lethal Man over the top makjang crack-addictive plot. You think when it starts out that its giving MLM, but really it's totally not.

We know these two actors are hot enough to burn a hole in my CPU. Not only that, but they are also really good at the actual act of 'acting', which is more than can be said for many (coughcoughcoughkaisosocoughcough). So what went wrong. How did this happen. Answers to these kinds of questions are above my paygrade, and outside the realm of my psychic intuition. Needless to say, it was just a disappointment.

It's times like these I find myself alone on a hilltop, the stormy night howling through the billowing sleeves of my black sequined dragon robes, my full length ice white hair alight in the wind, my hands outstretched shooting mad bolts of lightning into the sky, crying in confusion, "JUSTWHY!"

So anyways. I regretfully have to give it a 6.5... and what that means is it's actually a 6 (that's right, I said SIX, I know what I said) but with a spicy kiss as the thoughtful after dinner mint that comes on a little tray when they bring you the check.

O início do drama é bem parecido com o drama, também chinês, My Lethal Man, principalmente pela situação da FL. Já o ML daqui tem motivações diferentes para apoiá-la, mas muita coisa me fez lembrar bem o drama citado.
Os episódios são considerados curtos, de 15 minutos, então a dinâmica é bem rápida, a interação dos atores principais que fazem a FL e o ML é boa, mas cenas de beijo deixaram a desejar, até chegarmos no último beijo, da cena final, ali sim pareciam realmente sintonizados, mas também é justificável pelo desenvolvimento da história.
Já o marido é desprezível e seus abusos e dissimulação em confrontar a FL como sempre segue o clichê chinês que me dá náuseas.
Acho que chegou um momento que virou plot em cima de plot e acabou ficando além da conta, mas deu para passar o tempo. Me lembrei também de Embrace in the dark night, não só pela atriz, mas por alguns pontos.
