Southern Wind Passes (2024)

What a corny drama to start my journey.

I watch this on first month discover Chinese Short Drama and felt the plot was brainless at the time and my statement never changes.

FL married ML was for love, but unexpectedly, she was first sent to prison, then had her leg crippled. A fire resulted FL being accused of death. However, a month later, at a high-class banquet, "Anna," who has a similar face to FL, actively approaches ML, and a revenge plan unfolds.

For simple review ; revenge plot isn't satisfying.

The kiss was OK since it's Meng Na and Ma Xiao Yu. However, considering the filming timeline, it feels a bit awkward to watch.

Only watch if you're trying to watch all of Meng Na or Ma Xiao Yu's dramas

Honestly the script is bad. ML's trauma leads him to think everyone is only in transactional relationship except ::drumroll:: his mysterious high school drowning savior. He agrees to a business marriage with FL, who actually does like him, but THEN the "savior" 2fl appears. So of course FL is framed to have abused 2fl and sent to jail. OKAY when she comes out it's unsuccessful revenge attempts over and over. He traps her and she digs herself deeply and it is so frustrating. Sigh like girl give up. She takes seriously family and business losses.....and gets nothing but faking her death so POORLY then MORE LOSSES. At this point girl should have never taken revenge whew. The ML is always intense and he does kind of like her but kind of hates her??? They really don't do enough in the script to make it work as I've seen in a couple of other dramas. The ending was.....there. It's fine I guess. Sigh I will say this I have seen it twice because the shaking intense over acting Meng Na and Ma Xiao Yu can do is compelling. I don't think all vertical dramas and actors do the gripping telenovela performances but I think these leads usually deliver that vibe so they do capture attention.
