TTR - The Truth Review

Not good. The show is poor, but at least it was watchable. The FL is looking to infiltrate the new Dynasty to avenge her families massacre and the ML is a spy from the previous dynasty undercover. They go from enemies to lovers but are constantly on the back foot while the villains plan and scheme relentlessly to torture and murder innocents. What really bothers me with this type of show is the usual nonsense where villains like the adopted daughter who decide to redeem themselves are forgiven for all their crimes and face no accountability and have a happy ending and when the villains do get their comeuppance. It’s usually short and sharp and they die instantly where they’ve made the heroes suffer horrendous agony over a long period of time while they’ve been living in luxury and happiness . This kind of perverse pleasure in watching heroes suffer for 90% is quite disturbing and I don’t understand how Chinese audiences enjoy this kind of thing because there is no emotional satisfaction and the payoff is useless by the end.
