Bu Cheng Ti Tong (2025)

Republican drama with a great FL character

Reincarnated multiple times, our FL shaman is one tough and enigmatic cookie. I love her! Cool as a cucumber she is an exceptional foil for the ML, who is more on the passionate side. Although a marriage has been arranged, our FL finds a way to stall while she saves the family business. And of course, her fated death is right around the corner--.

She has a big job cleaning up the family (she is suddenly a part of) as she has returned as the "rightful daughter" who supposedly grew up in a brothel. One thing I did enjoy is that she helps her brother and sister grow into better people. They start out as brats, but instead of watching a show where they continue their stupid thinking, they finally start listening to her wisdom. I appreciate that a lot considering how these short dramas usually play out with family.

ML is also in the Fiery Young Marshal (this one is hot!); and Spring Night's Fiery Kisses (Bad boy, mob boss type). In the few I've seen with him, he 1.) knows how to kiss (no mouth closes, face presses here); and 2.) he seems to have a lot of chemistry with his female leads. I suspect he knows how to put them at ease when they are doing these scenes because the intimacy scenes are generally very good with him.

Costumes, sets, and filmography are well done. The FL's dresses are really exceptional. The dark red dress with the black shawl; and the black dress with the flowers are wow. BTW that striped dress she wears? A master made that as you can tell where the seam is the lines have been carefully worked to match.

This show seemed to have a lot of extras in it and they didn't look like they were taken off a bus somewhere and stuck in suits that don't fit. So that also gets a plus.

The reason for the score is due to the spoiler below...

SPOILER BELOW






The ending is bittersweet. She meets her end. There is a fast forward to a current reincarnated life where she meets her soul mate but their ages are at odds and its unclear if one or both remember anything. So not happy with that and why I would probably not rewatch.
