Jie Pi Xiao Zong Xi Dang Die (2024)

Fast-paced revenge drama but the actress who played FL gave a bland performance

I was on a diet of Xie Yu Wang dramas in preparation of a reddit post about his work. The title and the running time caught my attention so I watched it. I liked it.

What I liked:
1. Revenge - Interesting that ML approached FL to enact revenge on SML.
2. ML characterisation - Smart & always ahead of SML. He was the brains of this revenge plan even though he didn't have as much screentime as FL.
3. Romance - It was good to see that ML and FL partnered up for a common goal - to bring down SML. I also liked that FL told ML about his mixed signals. There was a kiss at the end that was satisfying.
4. Supporting characters - I liked Lele and ML's assistant.
5. Duration - A short shorts at 1 hour 40 minutes. Fast-paced.
6. Styling - I liked outfits chosen for FL. ML looked handsome.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - SML was despicable for harassing FL. His wife was horrible. FL's colleague was another horrible person.
2. Acting - Zheng Qian Yi lacked charisma to pull off the FL character. Her facial expressions were bad. Unfortunately I didn't sense any chemistry between her and Xie Yu Wang.

Favourite scene
When Lele went into the bedroom while FL & ML were cuddling
