Pure Revenge with No Romance

I waited this drama for last year and watch again in this year to make proper review.

Satisfying revenge drama with a strong FL. There's no romance, so you don't have to worry. It's not a case of the FL being stronger than the ML, and there are no generic seduction scenes. FL is rational, clear-headed, and decisive in her actions. The overall pacing is tight and smooth, with no empty talk.

FL never suffers a loss from beginning to end, making for a highly satisfying experience. The production is excellent, even dividing the series into chapters. The cinematography is superb, with well-controlled camera angles. Coupled with the FL's outstanding performance, the viewing experience is very immersive, even reminiscent of a blockbuster film. The only drawback is the rushed ending, and the villains throughout the series suffer from severe intellectual decline, resorting to nothing more than destroying people's innocence--a rather frustrating tactic.

Cheng Qiaosi as antagonist is decent enough but this is Han Yutong powerhouse acting showcase. Both of the lead are doing great job.

Recommended to watch if you want to watch pure revenge drama.
