Bo Ye Courted a Hundred Times, and Miss Jiang Showed Mercy (2024)

All Rounder

Wow. I did not expect that. This show had everything. It was heavy in a way that you genuinely felt for the FL but at the same time they casted the ex-best friend so well and she played her part so well that it's kept feeling bad for her despite the fact that she was a liar, cheater, and all around devil of human being. Do I feel bad she lost her baby? No. That child would have been exploited and twisted mentally his/her entire life. As would the poor dummy who believed her in the first place. I love that his parents took the FL in and regardless of everything still loved her. I would have loved to see more interactions between them and the FL but I get they were essential to the plot points. The FLs parents were 100% in the wrong. You don't need to isolate and abandon the daughter you raised for twenty years in order to make your daughter feel loved. If you do that is extremely telling on the biodaughter than anything else. Finally, the ML. He is not a green flag. He's a whole damn football field. He gave her reassurances, let everyone in his company know who she was, and even spoke (and got advice) about her with his family. Honestly, with everything her ex-husband, ex-best friend, and adopted parents put her through: she deserves it. Great chemistry. Great casting. Great Costumes. Great editing and directing. We need more dramas like this!

Excellent acting, writing and romantic scenes make this drama my favourite in the series

When I first explored vertical dramas back in December 2024, Dramazone Youtube channel was my only source for vertical dramas. I think the title of this drama caught my attention so I clicked 'Play'. I enjoyed it immensely. I watched a few Prince of Beijing Circle adaptations after this drama but "Bo Ye Courted a Hundred Times, and Miss Jiang Showed Mercy" remains my favourite Prince of Beijing Circle adaptation.

What I liked:
1. Romance - There was a lot of heat in this drama. High quality and quantity of kissing and intimate scenes. I also liked the romance development of the second couple because it contrasted with the romance development of the first couple.
2. Acting - Great acting by all four leads. Xu Jiang Shuai and Chang Dan Dan must had developed rapport because their characters' physical and emotional intimacy translated well on screen. The actor and actress who portrayed SML and SFL respectively did an excellent job too. I could feel their frustrations and heartaches even though I disliked them.
3. FL characterisation - I liked the complexity of FL. She seemed to put tough exterior when facing rivals but she also had a vulnerable side. I loved her at work scenes - she was knowledgeable and focused.
4. ML characterisation - I liked that he was smitten with FL and would do anything for her. Not only he was a great lover, he also became like a family to FL. The last plot twist was tragic - I was glad that ML apologised to FL immediately after finding out.
5. Styling - One of the best styling for vertical drama FL. Just impeccable. Chang Dan Dan must be petite because she wore stilettos most of the time.
6. Supporting characters - I liked Mr and Mrs Yan despite their son's horrible treatment towards FL. ML's assistant was also likeable.
7. SML's arc - Despite him being an antagonist, I must say that his arc is one of the best antagonist arcs I've seen in vertical dramas.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - Damn, SFL was a traitor. I couldn't believe she would do such things to her best friend. I also disliked SML for cheating on FL. FL's family was horrible too.
