Du Chong (2025)

Sweet reborn drama but I disliked ML's action in third act

This is the second time I watched Wu Tian Hao in a vertically shot drama. I love his performance in I Just Want You. I had never watched Yang Zhi Wen's work before this drama.

What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - This FL is sensible and I liked it! She's wary of ML's intentions because of her past relationship and I think that's smart of her. I like Yang Zhi Wen's portrayal of this role because she managed to showcase different facets of her character. FL wasn't annoying.
2. Wu Tian Hao - It is great to see him playing an assertive, no-nonsense character. It contrasts with his pretty boy visuals.
3. Tone - It's light and fast-paced.
4. Reborn - I liked that when given second chance, FL focused on herself rather than sought revenge.
5. Romance - Sweet romance except the start felt off (see What I disliked section)
6. Styling - ML had impeccable styling. As for FL's styling, I prefer the mature look to the teenage look. The white dress she wore in third act was pretty.

What I disliked:
1. ML's deception - I disliked ML for deceiving FL to fix a situation that he's facing.
2. Pursuit - I felt that the wooing was aggressive and no wonder it took awhile for FL to accept ML's pursuit.
