He’s Handsome. She’s Angry. Plot Is Missing
I really wanted to like Spring of Blade, but unfortunately this was another disappointment in another 2026 edition of disappointing C drama’s.
And honestly, I don’t understand why this drama has such high reviews. Maybe I watched a completely different drama from everyone else. 😂
First of all, yes the male lead is handsome. Very handsome. Unfortunately, being handsome is not a substitute for having an actual character arc. He felt like he was there to look good while the story happened around him.
And then there’s Zhou Ye as the FL. I keep wanting to find a drama of hers that finally works for me, but once again, I found myself frustrated.
The revenge story was weak on both sides.
This drama had all the ingredients for something intense: betrayal, revenge, family conflict, secrets and plenty of reasons for these characters to hate each other. But somehow the revenge never had the impact it should have.
Instead, we got plot holes. Lots of plot holes.
All that revenge, and nobody thought to check the plot holes. 😂
The wedding, for example, was ridiculous. The way she came into that family was crazy, and I was sitting there thinking, Are we seriously doing this?
And the father? I don’t even know where to start. His whole part of the story had me questioning what the writers were thinking.
Then there was the sister drama, which just kept adding to the chaos without giving me the emotional payoff I was expecting.
And let’s talk about the grandmother explaining everything at the end.
Lazy. Lazy writing.
Instead of properly developing the characters, motivations and family history throughout the drama, we’re basically handed explanations at the end and expected to accept them.
That isn’t satisfying storytelling. That’s the writers trying to clean up the mess they created.
And then there was the tone.
This drama was supposed to be serious. Dark. Emotional. Revenge-driven.
But honestly? I found it comical. 😂
Not because it was trying to be funny, but because so many of the situations and writing choices became ridiculous that I couldn’t take the drama as seriously as it wanted me to. The frustrating thing is that I could see the potential. There was a good revenge story buried somewhere in here. The characters had enough history and motivation to make it compelling. But the execution just wasn’t there.
He’s handsome. She’s angry. Everyone wants revenge. All that revenge, and nobody thought to check the plot holes.
And honestly, I still don’t understand the high reviews.
Disappointing.
