Love is the Cure
Much touted revenge-themed period drama with smart leads navigating venom-laced paths together under the weight of a bitter past and heavy familial burdens.
Though forced together by an awkward alliance to sooth the terrible betrayal years back, both leads know nothing good would come of the wretched union. Yet, mutual attraction seems thinly-veiled — 5 eps in and we see gradual understanding and respect despite what is deemed irreconcilable differences. There were some good moments- a great sign hopefully of what’s to come!
The tension in the story is kept taut, and the layers are coming off bit by bit. Characters are being nicely developed with backstories and side stories. So far, very good!
Liu Yu Ning’s character reminds me of the one he played in The Story of the Pearl Girl - brilliantly savage yet kind but to only a few. Song Zuer is fun to watch as she flits from one emotion to another, but is steadfast in her pursuits.
A priority on my must-watch list!
