Xie Jing Mo De Man Chang An Lian (2025)

Typical Cinderella story, but still hits the right spots

[In other platforms, this drama is titled 'His Silent Obsession']

Like any other Cinderella story, we have an empowered FML who knew her worth right off the bat. Most of her trials involved her biological family trying to ruin her over an adopted daughter. FML's family is cruel, but the brothers were mostly annoying and irrational. The adopted daughter is also annoying, but I love how there weren't "overdone" scenes of her bullying the FML. Sometimes it was kinda unreasonable that her family still doted over the adopted one even until the end, so there wasn't any satisfying moment of them begging for FML's forgiveness. I love how innocent-looking the FML is, but she never lets herself be trampled over and always stands her ground. And of course, the MML being supportive of her all those years was the cherry on top. He knew when to step aside and patiently waited for the FML. I love how he was portrayed as a cold man, but his love for the FML softened him so that he would do cheesy stuff for her. There were times of comedic relief, which is why it wasn't boring at all, especially the SML (who kinda looks like Ricky from ZB1... I hope I'm not the only one). He didn't do anything drastic to get FML his way, and just spent wallowing over a love he wasted. Of course, the chemistry between leads were given but I love how the MML throws his lines, like he was made for that character.

Overall a good watch, but don't expect anything new. I wanna know the name of the FML too ><
