Wu Ni Bu Huan

The second version makes the first more decent.

I remember i only watch half-way since FL characterization is make my blood tense high until i recently watch Jin Jiayu-Xu Siqi version which make me curse and my neck hurts for blood rises.

Basically: FL aka Qin Sang is aloof traditional beauty who gentle outside but resilient inside while ML aka Sheng Yu just another Yandere CEO ML who has brain unlike usual CEO on duanju and secretly love fool. Plot is mainstream about past love with misunderstanding troupe. FL have sex with ML and left him without reason and got pregnant. While ML is getting yandere personality due FL leaving him without any words. Five years later they met again when FL forced to get blind date by her father and met ML and mistakenly as male host. The tug-of war is quite too long but the mutual redemption is fine since ML has character growth (while do some gRapey scene on first part and later ask for FL consent).

Plot pace is quite angsty at first but later is quite sweet. Zhang Liren is the highlight of the drama, he got mannerismand the chemistry between him and Zhao Fei is fine though he looks shorter due Zhao Fei's height (172 cm). Cameramen did their best on hiding the different.

I dont know if there is other version will beat the first version since second version is out and there is not really recommended to watch.

FL's lack of trust in her relationship with ML infuriated me

I really liked Zhao Fei's performance in Bai Ri Bu Shu so I checked out her list of dramas and found this. This drama frustrated me and after 1 hour 20 minutes of watching (mostly fast forwarded), I decided to stop wasting my time & drop this drama.

What I liked:
1. Sub-plot - FL was investigating her father's case - he was framed for something he didn't do. I found the deep fake issue fascinating.
2. ML characterisation - I liked that he always stood by FL's side and kept reassuring her. This is probably my first drama of Zhang Li Ren. I was captivated by his performance here. He has a soothing voice
3. Supporting characters - I liked ML's assistant & FL's relatives.
4. Styling - I liked most of the outfits worn by FL & ML. The red & blue qipao was pretty.

What I disliked:
1. FL characterisation - Gosh, she seemed clueless and easily intimidated. I was infuriated with her for going along with an offer after being blackmailed. I think Zhao Fei was miscast in this drama. With her sharp, matured features, her visuals and acting didn't match the character's damsel in distress persona.
2. Romance - At 1 hour mark, FL was threatened with fake sex video. Instead of turning to ML who was already acknowledged as boyfriend, she decided to go along with perpetrator's demands. It was clear that she had no confidence in her relationship and I just couldn't accept this crap anymore. I also didn't sense any chemistry between Zhao Fei and Zhang Li Ren.
