The Child Is Not Yours (2025)

I enjoyed this snappy drama about cheating and moving past divorce

I was in the mood for a Song Chen drama so I chose this one because of the short running time and positive comments on YouTube. It was worth watching!

What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - She was reasonable - She already noticed potential threat to her marriage and warned ML. She was decisive and confident. Once trust was broken, she never gave him a chance for reconciliation - way to go, girl. I also liked that she didn't feel the need to conform to societal pressure.
2. Length - I loved that this drama was under 1 hour. The pacing was great!
3. Acting - This is my second time watching Zhang Zhang in this type of role (scorned FL) and she nailed it. Loved her icy stare and assertiveness. ML was infuriating so well done to Song Chen for getting on my nerves. Well done to the actress playing junior secretary because she was cloying.
4. Supporting characters - I liked ML's first secretary who knew what is right and what is wrong and reported to FL. I also liked ML's parents for being sensible and immediately condemned ML's behaviour.
5. Romance - There were two arcs in this drama: one with ML before things went downhill and another one with new love interest. Enjoyed both although the actor who SML wasn't attractive to me.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - ML was certainly the main antagonist in this drama. He humiliated FL by being away from home for months and bringing intern-turned-junior secretary to events that should be attended by his wife, the FL. Emotional cheating is still cheating and he did that. That junior secretary was pathetic.

Confesso que odeio ver meus atores favoritos interpretando papéis de canalhas, e o Song Chen não é diferente.
Mas ADOREI a maneira que a FL lida com toda a situação, ao presenciar toda a indiferença e traição moral do marido, como o título mesmo diz (então não pode ser um spoiler) kkkkk Ela simplesmente engravida e o larga, deixando claro que ele não é o pai do seu filho.. Aplaudi a frieza e firmeza dela.

Engraçado que depois que passou uns 4 anos ou 5, não lembro mais, o ML jura que a chá verde não tá próxima dele e voilá, a bichinha aparece num piscar de olhos para atrapalhar a conversa dele com a FL hahahahah me dá preguiça esses roteiros que seguem esses pontos tão óbvios.

Minha nota é totalmente em prol da FL hahahahah
