Beyond the Flame (2025)

HUSBAND FORCES WIFE TO HAVE A BABY WITH ANOTHER MAN

As I am writing this, there are four versions currently but I believe a fifth one is coming out soon I just don't know when.

This is the second version and the most sexual one. The ML also has the best bod of all of them too.

Considering all factors, I would say that the third one starring shitong is by far my favorite. The FL in that one is the most badass as she was a former boxer.

Basic plot in most of them goes like this: FL family is in a lot of debt and forced into a marriage with a scumbag who loves his white moonlight. Scumbag tells FL to get pregnant by another man because he won't touch her. That's where the ML comes in. FL gets pregnant and constantly lies about it. She is going to come across as unlikable to a lot of people.

The stars of the full versions are
1. Wang zhao yang, guo Jing
2. Zhao guan Yu, Zhang Shan
3. Wang Ying jie, Shi tong
4. Song yubo, Wei fanshu

The fourth version is the worst one by far.

Kisses everywhere indeed

As user Lindaseton mentioned in her review, there are, at the time of this review, four versions of this story. Version 1 starring Wang Zhao Yang & Guo Jing, version 2 starring Zhao Guan Yu & Zhang Shan, version 3 starring Wang Ying Jie & Shi Tong, version 4 starring Song Yubo & Wei fanshu. I watched version 2 (this version) first. I have watched Zhang Shan dramas in the past but Zhao Guan Yu was new to me. What a mighty fine introduction!

What I liked:
1. Romance - Wow, Zhao Guan Yu is the finest stud in vertical dramaland. The kisses between him and Zhang Shan were blazing hot. I echo what is said by a YouTube user - "They bless my eyes with so much intimate scenes. I love it!"
2. FL characterisation - Smart, confident, self-sufficient - all the qualities I like in FL.
3. Styling - Love the hairstyling & outfits worn by FL. Gorgeous!

What I disliked:
1. FL ex husband - He is the stupidest husband ever for agreeing to be cuckold. Double standard - he has no right to be jealous!
2. Mistress arc - Gosh she annoyed me so much that I felt like slapping her. I wish she was given less screen time.
3. ML's grandpa - OMG the twist!
4. Relationship - It's great that ML supported FL by investigating her ex's family. However I wish there were more scenes that focused on their growing emotional connection. Something that would be unique to them i.e. not related to FL's family problems.

Favourite scene
ML answered FL's phone when she was in the shower
