Shen Shi Da Lao Si Xia Wei Zhuang Bu Bu Bi Jin (2025)

Familiar plot but great chemistry between the leads kept me watching

It has been awhile since I watched this drama. Glad that the MDL page has been created because I write a review & remove this drama from my 'No MDL review' list.

What I liked:
1. Romance - That intro scene was just smoking hot. I liked a take charge FL. ML was very lusty once they got married but there were sweet moments from 2nd act onwards. Though I enjoyed most of the steamy scenes, I wish FL would show more interest/desire.
2. Li Tian Yuan - This is my first time watching Li Tian Yuan & I enjoyed her acting. She was radiant in this drama. I am definitely keen to watch her other dramas.
3. Familiar plot - This drama reminds me of You've Been Tricked starring Yao Yuchen. Both dramas have ML with memorable tattoo & flashbacks to FL & ML's childhood. I wonder if this drama is an adaptation/iteration of the same story.
4. FL's best friend - It's good to see a best friend playing integral role in vertical drama.

What I disliked:
1. Rescue - FL was kidnapped & I was surprised that ML came alone to rescue her.
2. Africa - The whole 'I banish you to Africa' threat should stop. It's insulting.

Favourite scene
When ML revealed his secret to FL
