how is NOBODY singing praise abt this minidrama
This drama is fucking me up.I didnt even watch this drama purposely. i clicked it by mistake and decide to watch 1 episode. I was enthralled even from the start.
this minidrama made me realize that I didnt really like romance that manifest too early at the beginning of the story. I like it slowly burning, building up, so the pay off is delicious. The set up for FL's revenge story, ML's cunning tendency, and their toxic (?) dependency at the beginning rlly did it for me.
the plor was beautifully threaded, full of mysteries and suspense. at a particular episode i even yelled abt a cliff-hanger lmao and the characters are so enchanting! Very absurdly, i love The commander (second lead). He's the type that's brawny, loyal, and fierce. So sad that he only got few screentimes.
the acting! All of them do it excellently, but I shout out to Yunchong's tear-filled eyes scene when he was being coldly brushed odd by the FL. GOD. HE IS SUCH A GOOD ACTOR 😭😭
the downside of this drama is probably bcs this is minidrama, there are few details that are bejng glossed over to axe the time, that were probably being explained even more in the novel. Also, how cold and aloof the FL was! is it because she's a cultivator that made her this way?
this is the first cultivator/civil official romance drama ive seen, btw. Usually if it was cultivator-centered, then it would only revolved in wuxia-theme. Or if it's about celestial being, then it would only consist xianxia beings. rarely i saw mixed couple like this. its really interesting. Also, the open-ending... I'm going to assume she would go back in time to him, being a good wife, and then live happily ever after till the end, hehe.

An Underrated Mini Drama
To Kill a Songbird is a revenge drama, with a simple storyline and that plot twist I never saw coming (nope, no spoilers in my review)!!! The main characters complemented each other, so their chemistry was good. Zhao Xi Xi, I mean Kung Fu Xi Xi :); I love strong female characters in Cdramas and movies (#IndependentWoman), and she delivered well. Mr. Fang Xiao Dong was fantastic too, wow can he act!! In summary, this mini drama is worth your time.Was this review helpful to you?
