Satisfying revenge and bittersweet love

I actually enjoyed Part 2 much more than Part 1.

I absolutely loved Li Jen and Chiang dating era—it was so sweet to finally see them spend quality time together, just being happy. After everything they went through, those moments felt earned.

The murders were portrayed in a very detailed way, and honestly? I get it. It made watching them get their revenge that much more satisfying. The plot twist was great and executed really well—it caught me off guard in the best way.

Tseng Ching Hua's acting is just phenomenal. I truly think he carried the entire drama. That smile of his, with pain still lingering in his eyes? Iconic. He conveyed so much with just a look.

That said, I didn't really connect with Chia Yen's portrayal. Visually, she looked too old for the role, and to be honest, her acting wasn't the strongest. It stood out, especially next to Tseng.

It was so satisfying to see everyone finally get what they deserved. But it was also bittersweet—because we know what will follow. The happiness doesn't erase the past.

For me, the real villain was always his mother. It all started with her. If she had made different choices, his entire future could have been different. That's the tragedy at the heart of this story.

At least, in the end, they got their happy ending. They're finally together.

Overall, it was a good watch. And it will stay memorable—mostly because of Tseng Ching Hua.
