Mou Ta Ri Jiu (2025)

Pseudo-incest, cute couple

As with most dramas it starts well and loses its tempo after a while. The wrap-up was somewhat ok though. Anticipated (and would have enjoyed) an overflow of different near-intimate scenes, but, alas, this wasn't the case. But the existing scenes were ok (though repetitive)!

Yes (yes-yes!!!)
Love the widowed sis-in-law - brother in law forbidden love. The ML-FL couple does bring to life the relationship.
ML gives a good overall performance, with some moments of more refined acting.
Storywise, besides the bitchy antagonist 3FL there is also another antagonist 2FL who is cool (sister power vibes).
The actor playing the ML's subordinate was interesting actingwise.
Settings and costumes not the best, not memorable, but good enough most of the time.

Not so much yey...
Some repetitivness and boring writing did allow for some yawnings, and at times camera angles really didn't do justice to the actors.
Also, felt that the director could have helped FL and ML bring out a range of more, and more subtle, facial expressions, given the many layers of antithetic feelings the two characters faced and the two actors' performances.

A decent watch.
