Yu Ran Fo Zhu (2025)

Finally found Gao Ming drama that I enjoyed - him as a "vampire"

I am a fan of supernatural themed vertical dramas. I got to know about this drama from subreddit CShortDramas. I watched it a few weeks before Halloween and I enjoyed it. I musy say that this drama is better than Liu Lan Bo's vampire drama.

What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - She was kind and soft-hearted but wasn't naive to the point of sacrificial lamb.
2. Romance - Both genuinely liked each other but too bad bad events separated them. When they were together, they were sweet. I liked that FL wasn't shy about intimacy.
3. ML characterisation - I liked his protective nature. I also liked that he did his best to atone for his family's bad deeds.
4. Supernatural - He wasn't quite a vampire - it was more like a curse that fell on his family. I liked this plot device.
5. Supporting characters - I liked ML's assistant and the housekeeper.
6. Acting - Good performances by the cast. I also liked the chemistry between Gao Ming and the main actress. I finally found a Gao Ming drama I enjoyed.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - SFL Lola was batshit crazy. She did everything she could to get ML including harming FL. FL's university rival was silly & annoying. I also disliked ML's grandfather and cousin / rival. The family doctor was horrible too for being an accomplice.
2. Communication - I hated that ML distanced himself from FL because he believed the family doctor's advice. He should have discussed with FL instead.

Favourite scene
When FL came to rescue ML at a hotel
