Wei Ming Yuan Hun Quan Fa Ze (2025)

Quiet mystery romance with good chemistry between the leads

I was surprised to see a collab between Zhang Chu Xuan and He Cong Rui. Both are my favourite actors. I watched this drama within first 3 days of its release. I enjoyed it.

What I liked:
1. Tone - I like the quiet mystery element of this drama. The drama is not too dark which is a breath of fresh air.
2. FL characterisation - I liked her determination in investigating her sister's death. She was more concerned about truth rather than vengeance.
3. ML characterisation - Gosh he was mysterious that I was praying he's not a baddie. He figured out FL's hidden agenda quite early but he didn't go overboard with confrontation nor meddling.
4. Acting - I really enjoy the acting of both ZCX & HCR, individually & as a couple. It's great to see ZCX playing this role (a softer, vulnerable woman) as I've seen her in too many "strong woman" characters. HCR exuded the right allure for this mysterious character.
5. Romance - Slow burn because investigation takes precedence. There was good balance of push and pull - sweet & spicy moments. FL begging ML scene was unexpected for me - it was very sweet.
6. Styling - ZCX looked beautiful in that floor length dress. I also liked the pink blush dress.

What I disliked:
1. FL's action - I did feel that FL was stringing ML along and I disliked it. Good thing she didn't take long to fess up.

Found nicely executed mystery drama

Once upon a time, He Congrui and Zhang Chuxuan wants to do their first collaboration and the writer quite trust both of actor script selection and turns out the intuition was completely right.

The plot is very consistent from first until the end and FL way of characterization is quite strong-willed with focused on her goal. The chemistry is on off since FL didn't want any romantic infatuation distract her goal. Even the romance it not their main theme, they can put dose of romance right without being overly done like usual type of drama. Glad ML character is not scumbag and not burdensome character and glad they didn't give any useless plot twist that unnecessary to drama.

I still rewatch since this drama is need little bit of brain but overall i enjoy this drama and collaboration.

Recommended to rewatch.
