BEAUTIFUL, PASSIONATE METAMORPHOSIS
*adaptation
OTHER TITLES:
• Promise You Joy and Sorrow
• In Love, Through Pain
GENRE:
Supernatural Romance
MY SYNOPSIS:
ML has been searching endlessly for an umbraborn (bloodmoon born) woman who has a bloodmark (birthmark), because she is the only one that can save his life. He will die unless he removes his ancestral scorchbane (fire poison) curse via consummation with the umbraborn FL on the bloodmoon of New Years Eve. ...But, it will make her weak and is progressively fatal. At first, the ML is conflicted, oscillating between selfish and mean to compassionate and protective, as he plans to sacrifice the FL. His plans to trade her life for his are soon upheaved when her beautiful humanity transforms him and he falls in love with her.
REVIEW: ⚠️ SPOILERS ⚠️
I usually won't watch something with a sad ending, but I'm glad I watched this. The ending was spiritual and full of love and so it was bittersweet instead of awful. (Of course I would RATHER have a completely happy ending, which is why my rating is 7☆ instead of 8☆). Both leads and their tiny daughter did an incredible job showing raw emotion, PHENOMENAL actually. I really liked the FL's beautiful personality and expressive eyes, and I loved how much the ML transformed because of her. He was so incredibly passionate, as a person, a dad and a husband. His heartfelt 🩷 interactions with his daughter were soul-crushing. The kisses 💋 and intimacy ❤️🔥 with his wife were amazing. It was beyond chemistry - it was deep love 💓. The child actress is beautiful and her fervency for her mom blew.my.mind. She's incredible. It even sounded like her real voice, too, instead of the usual adult cartooned-voiceover.
The production aspect was okay but there was a lot of sloppy jumping between scenes and it felt overall rushed in several places. It had such a good storyline and script, though, that it really makes me wish the production had been higher quality, longer by an hour or so, and had a happily-ever-after ending. There was definitely a bit of ridiculousness, such as the HIPAA-style violations at the hospital and their little daughter's ability to handle adult-level arrangements as if she's a prodigy. However, I liked the overall story enough to overlook that stuff. 💗.
