Not much plot but super hot & steamy
The plot is thin as paper, but you aren't watching for that. You want to see the ML relentlessly pursue our FL by stealing kisses behind screens, in corners, and wherever else he can proposition her. Bonus: a man in uniform.
Why does this pursuit work when so many of these short vertical dramas do not with the same theme? Because while the show presents the FL as hesitant bc she thinks she is in love with her foster brother (out of gratitude), you can tell she wants it. LOL If this had been played by any other actress, it might have veered into SA and be icky, but our FL's acting gives our naive girl enough humor and exasperation that you quickly see she wants him to devour her.
Both of these main actors are so very good! Both are so talented, and I've loved a lot of what they've been in. Chen Si has a scene where he is asked to kneel to appease the guy who has the girl, and the acting there is Aplus. Wow! Top tier.
JMO but I really like Chen Si in this one because his face is real. Not sure how to write about that but I like the more mature look on a guy and this is a very good foil for the FL's very young baby face. Bonus? He's a hot-hot-hot kisser.
Really great speech at the end when the FL explains to the 2ML why she knows its love with the ML. It shows she's really thought about the difference between a crush vs longlasting love.
HOWEVER, there is a very problematic scene in the beginning that I really did NOT like as it was gratitious and unnecessary. Early on the FL visits the ML and he has someone under questioning (why didn't his guard stop her? hello??). The idea that a ML has to prove how ruthless he is by torturing someone is (for some reason) a key in these Chinese dramas. Me no like it.
Add in that the ML just shoots the guy in front of her so his blood splatter gets all over face!!?? She would have some SERIOUS PTSD.
Another scene is the Russian roulette thing at the party. Really? Any real man would say "how dumb are you?"
Overall, watch it for the hot scenes and there are plenty of those!
