Minister under the Dress (2025)

Purely revenge tale that is a satisfying watch

I don't remember how I came across this drama but upon reading user comments, I decided it was worth watching. It was indeed.

What I liked:
1. Acting - Well cast drama from main characters (FL, ML) to supporting characters such as ML's father, ML's bro, ML's mother & FL's mother. Liu Xi Yu carried her role well despite having an angelic face. The actor who played ML's brother caught my attention. Too bad I don't know his name because I'd love to watch more of his work. It was also nice to see the actress who played FL's mother as I enjoyed her acting and visual in another drama. I also was surprised to see ML being turned on - eeerrmm Qian Zhe was hot.
2. Revenge plot - This drama focuses on revenge. There are "romance" scenes but there are intentional for the purpose of revenge. Even though I could predict FL's plans, it was satisfying to see her sticking to her plans.
3. Kink - I was shocked. I didn't expect to see an adult playroom in a Chinese drama!
4. Manipulative - It is an important theme in this drama as it is exercised by several characters such as FL, ML, ML's father & ML's mother.

What I disliked:
1. ML's father - One of the grossest character I've seen in vertical dramaland. He was abusive towards FL & her mother - some scenes are distressing.
2. ML's brother arc - I wish his arc isn't preditable.
