Xin Yang (2025)

Electric chemistry, good storytelling & Wang Yi Ran in top form made this drama enjoyable

I saw Undead_AEM_Bug's review on my feed and this drama got me curious because hey I missed Wang Yi Ran. My last drama of his was the one with Bai Yan so yes that was almost 4 months ago. This drama did not disappoint me - I enjoyed it immensely.

What I liked:
1. Wang Yi Ran - YES, he shined so much in this role. What a great performance! He was able to express different façades of his character.
2. Romance - Electric chemistry between WYR and Bai Xu Han. There was a great balance of spicy and sweet scenes and what I enjoyed the most is feeling the growing love between FL and ML.
3. Acting - Bai Xu Han, the actor who played senior Fang and the actress who played FL's stepmother were great in their roles.
4. Main characters - I liked that FL was emotionally strong but had moments of vulnerability as well. It must be hard to receive a health scare that could jeopardise her future. I also liked ML because he had his own mission to accomplish.
5. Plot - It's a revenge tale with many plot devices thrown in so plot holes are unavoidable. Despite the flaws, I enjoyed this drama because the obstacles faced by FL were different from what I've seen.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - Wow, FL's stepmother was evil for abusing FL since she was a child. Her bro Mr Fang Senior was equally evil and status hungry. FL's stepsis was bad minion.
2. Abuse - Too much abuse faced by FL. Good thing she was emotionally strong.
