Runaway Wife Misloves Iceberg CEO (2023)

The abuse part went on for too long

Listen, I absolutely get the appeal of this subgenre of romance, it’s one of my guilty pleasures since I discovered questionable "kidnapped by the mob boss" stories like Haou Airen back in the 2000's, but this one didn't do much for me. It's just endless suffering for the FL. It does work on a visual and conceptual level as Meng Na and Ma Xiao Yu are very attractive people put in juicy situations, but the writing doesn't make a lick of sense, and it reminds me too much of some older melodramas that were just torture porn meant to be watched with morbid interest. At some point it's clear the heroïne has a self-sacrifice kink (or is a full-blown masochist) as she keeps putting herself in harm's way with zero sense of self-preservation. It's not even that hot as the actors are awkwardly fake kissing. I have to admit though : the fake bestie from hell puts to shame many green tea bitches, instigating the craziest evil plans only fueled by pure greed and jealousy, and is super entertaining to watch. Special mention to the CEO's family and housekeeper who are like "but he's a good guy inside" while our hero keeps torturing the FL for no good reason. There are better versions of the "CEO having an affair with his own wife" plot out there and better Ma Xiao Yu dramas.

I will watch all of Ma Xiao Yu's dramas!

I really like Ma Xiao Yu.. everything in him! I do not like Meng Na. I don't like her acting. I don't like her face. I am sorry. I hope next time, Ma Xiao Yu will be paired up with a cutie lady or a beautiful woman. Not very tall. Sometimes, in Asia, a very tall woman, looks like a man. Why not Xiao Yu be paired up with Chai Hui Xin and the other beautiful actresses? Although I think Meng Na,his FL that I do not like the most, I'll still give this rating a 10 because of Ma Xiao Yu. I have nothing to say about the movie because it doesn't interest me. Like I frankly said, I do not like Meng na.
