Twin trouble, murder mayhem and a beautiful BGM
Okay, so we’re working with another “new identity + revenge” formula, but hear me out—it tried to dodge the usual cliché traps. No lookalike-sister, Instead, we get a face reconstruction twist in a twin setup, and honestly that was refreshing. Now, mix that with a fight for the heir’s throne and two tangled love triangles for a spicy hot pot.
BUT, the plot moved like it had dial-up internet and misunderstandings took their leisure time to subside. Also, someone PLEASE explain to me the law and order system in these Chinese dramas. Like, how is the villain out here committing serial murders with his shiny mini katana and somehow still roaming free? Meanwhile, our leads have to conduct their own FBI-level investigation, find evidence, set up PowerPoint presentations, and probably submit a written application before saying, “Hey, he might be the killer.” like there is no police station or investigation agency in the town.
Sir, this isn’t petty theft—someone literally died, and still no cops, no court, no investigation? Wild.
Now let’s talk cast—
Dai Gao & Hong Xiao: my long-awaited power pairing since Revenge of Begonia, and they did not disappoint. Hong Xiao, the visual goddess that she is, served versatility with elegance. Enters as Seductress? Check. Then turns Pitiful blind woman? Check. Later into Conflicted heiress? Protective sister? Daring lover ready to kill? Check, check, check.
Dai Gao? A certified gentleman throughout. Usually, his roles come with some "bad boy turned soft" but here? Full-on green flag from start to finish.
Now, let me bless your ears with the true MVP of the series:
BGM – “Love Is Back”
Go to YouTube and thank me later. That song? Chef’s kiss.
Final Verdict:
Would I watch it again? Nah.
Would I recommend it? Yes ( cry out loud)
Did I enjoy it despite its chaos? Absolutely
Score: Solid 7 to 7.5/10
Not perfect, but definitely a guilty pleasure done right.
