ah ok. Yea the double didn't have high budget but was a smash hit, even blossom didn't have a big budget. Only other female revenge/fl centric arc drama I watched which is in my all time list would be ming lan. Another women centric show which I heard is a classic but haven't watched is yanxi palace with the same FL as the double. I loved blossom but it does have a lot of angst for me, the double other than the last couple of eps was the perfect synergy between drama, revenge, strong fl and strong ml, extremely strong villains. that's why I rate it so highly. Wu Jin yan is just a force majeure with her performance.

why do these idiotic screenwriters have to include toxicity of the same old trope, anyway 3/4th of the drama was great. Both leads, esp Liang Wen Jing was perfect. Ending/last arc was rushed.

I can understand saying lofg is overrated but I don't see how the double is anywhere near overrated. it was low budget, low expectations I guess and one of the best revenge dramas of the decade. i guess you will call story of kunning palace and blossom overrated next

are people giving lower ratings just cos of fl age/romance? This is easily in 8.8-8.9 category as POJ, the Double, Blossom, Story of Kunning Palace..and definitely better than prisoner of beauty imo

Skimmed it, thin plot, lot of fluff for anyone who likes that. Obviously visually appealing leads

agree, not a fan of the trope but i the chemistry was great and plot was decent

Agree she should have her MDL page, seen her in many dramas now

Ooh I saw this ML had an upcoming drama, I have never seen him before but seen the FL with few big MLs. So Wang Kaimu has an upcoming drama with WXY? That would be nice lol. I think her most recent drama with YPC got decent reviews but havent watched it

*Yu Yu Tong

For me it had nothing to do with the chemistry..the overall screenplay, character setting, development, tone and how morally grey characters were handled was just perfect for a slow burn. One of the very few where I didn't skip a scene. Ironically another with a similar experience, even if not the exact same genre, was the wang kaimu-wang gege one which had LXX cameo.

The WXW version was levels above. This made me want to rewatch that

any reviews?

yea this was a high quality one.

quite good

only thing i didnt like was FL's mother was a bit of a POS and constantly slapped her but FL never fought back even at the end..

This was really nice and both leads were beautiful with great chemistry.

I totally agree with everything you said, it was so frustrating that 5-10% more effort in story/screenplay would have added it to me rewatch list. Can't do that now knowing the ending. We're supposed to believe the ultra strong ML has no way to deal with the evil 2nd FL other than screwing himself..I wanted to ask you, did you see the last scene, she had a miscarriage and the kid is hers? I was mad at the ending so FFed a lot..

same

I came here cos i was pissed off that i watched him in 2 good dramas which could have been far better if he were not the ML and I see people posting imaginary stuff like "he can't with his face but he does so well with his eyes". So other top actors don't have eye expressions? Seen ZL in POJ? HMH? This guy is an outright terrible actor. Cya

So you're saying if someone has so called eye expressions or whatever, that's an excuse for a completely wooden expressionless face lol. Nice try
