The Startled Swan Glides over the Fields (2025)

Rising to Triumph of Love from the Abyss of Great Injustice

I love this drama so much. Both the FL and the ML suffered terribly from the hands of their own family. They lost their most beloved ones and where deceived and manipulated yet they rose from lies, deception and tragedies through their intelligence, determination and wise use of skills. Justice grinds so well at the end.
I thought in the beginning that the issue of justice and retribution is only limited to the story of the FL but as the story enters into high pitch the ML himself is also subjected into suffering and pain to the point that he too is planning to exact revenge on those who murdered his parents.
It is also nice to know that the ML and the FL were close to each other from childhood but unlike in other dramas there are no flashbacks of memories showing them playing as kids. They didn't linger in the past. They built a new life together using the present and securing the future.
The FL is a great actress. She is very beautiful which is soft, weak and seductive but at the same time strong-willed, fierce, a lethal fighter and a master strategist. The FL played it well in a very convincing manner. I love strong FL. I am so tired and disgusted by weak FL who always need to be saved by the ML because they are so stupid and useless. So this is a bit of fresh air.
The ML on his part appeared so perfect in the beginning. He is super rich, very handsome, powerful and influential. He is at the top of the business world and the master even of the underground forces yet he too had his own share of pains and was also a victim of injustice. I love how the ML and the FL found strength through collaboration by helping and supporting each other and ultimately attained genuine love and happiness.
The FL is such a seductive and alluring beauty while the ML is like a royal prince in business suit.
