Deng Yun Tian (2025)

Tragic, no-rebirth revenge tale with a dash of romance

I was in the mood for Zhao Mu Yan's dramas and to my delight, I found this drama. I started to enjoy Chen Tian Xiang's performances after discovering him in She Is Only Three Points Well-Behaved. So I watched this drama a few days ago and overall liked it.

What I liked:
1. Opening scene - Wow, what a shocker! She was determined!
2. Revenge - I'd say revenge is the main focus of FL. I liked that she noticed potential threat in the harem, by chance and that this revenge drama is without rebirth. FL got justice.
3. Romance - This arc was carefully designed by FL. Even though there were not many romantic scenes, I could sense love especially from ML's perspective. The intimate scenes were hot.
4. Final 10 minutes - FL's action shocked me.
5. Supporting character - It was great to see some characters supporting FL and saw her sincerity and acts of kindness.
6. Acting - Zhao Mu Yan was amazing especially in the final 10 minutes of the drama. Chen Tian Xiang and the actresses portraying FL's love rivals gave good performances too.
7. Ending - I liked the ending even though I wish FL had taken the predictable route.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - Cut throat concubines. Wow, I just couldn't believe that they wouldn't mind harming pregnant love rivals.
2. Duration - At 2 hours 45 minutes, this drama was too long for me.

Favourite scene
That final dialogue between FL and ML
