Revenge Served Lukewarm, but Still Tasty
Solid revenge drama. The villains got what was coming (finally), and the ending mostly delivered.Typical stuff, suffers beatings and stabbings only to be up and chipper moments later. Add to that a “lost” relative element and a jealous love rivals.
So basically just another Tuesday.
That said, who thought it was a good idea to toss in a surprise bad guy with 20 minutes left? Because we clearly didn’t have enough chaos already.
Still, it scratched the petty itch. Average overall, but I don’t regret the watch. Not every drama needs to be a masterpiece, sometimes “good enough” is good enough.
And he was handsome in that uniform!

Predictable but decent
Watched on iqiyi under the title "The Beauty Double." Was a bit predictable but decent.Was this review helpful to you?
What’s up with the older sister?
I have watched this drama, however I’m confused as to why the rightful sister needs a substitute in bed with her husband? I get the impression that she has some kind of STD from sleeping around and now the half younger sister has to step in as her twin? I wish the script writers would be a little more clear in why the substitute, these things can not always be implied.Was this review helpful to you?

Don't watch this with your brain on.
I remember when this drama was come out on the first time everyone was hyping it but i didn't feel the same since the plot was quite generic and Yu Jialin acting was not my cup of tea.It's a revenge drama riddled with plot holes and lacking in logic; you can't watch it with your brain. The makeup and styling are okay, the costumes and props are average. Wang Haozhen only has two outfits throughout the entire series, but he still looks quite handsome. FL is also quite pretty. It's not a romance drama, so there's not much interaction, and there's no sense of chemistry between the leads even the hot kisses was not helping it.
This creates an interesting cliché: how the ML manages to distinguish between the two women (actually the same person) and the fake one, constantly reflecting on his own actions and wondering why the people around him seem different.
Maybe you need to empty your brain to enjoy this drama. I cannot enjoy this drama due my brain is overload with work related.
