Tale of grieving mother, useless husband and his white moonlight
I liked Wang Lu's acting in Dark and White co-starring Si Jia Li. I decided to watch this drama because of the beautiful poster and short running time. I was a tough watch because of the topic but overall I liked it.
What I liked:
1. Acting - Great acting by Han Wei, Wang Lu & Yin Xin. I empathised with FL for losing a child and having a scumbag husband.
2. Styling - FL wore pretty clothes after the death of her daughter. I loved the bob too!
3. FL characterisation - She was a great mum who sought justice for her daughter and herself. She was smart by collecting evidence.
4. Duration - Drama is less than 1.5 hours.
5. Revenge - I liked revenge arc was carried out because those baddies got what they deserved.
What I disliked:
1. ML characterisation - In this drama, ML was the baddie. He was prejudiced against his wife but overly concerned for his "saviour" / white moonlight over his own family. I got it if he overlooked the tag on Xi Xi's wrist but to prioritise white moonlight's plea over an urgent surgical case? He deserved to be fired!
2. White moonlight - What a bitch! I was so gald that she got her comeuppance because she deserved to suffer.
3. ML's mother - Another character that I disliked. Stupidly sided on ML but no respect and grief for the granddaughter.
4. Slander - It's typical to put public shaming scenes in vertical dramas. I wish FL had taken legal action towards her husband for neglicence.
Favourite scene
When FL unveiled it all in front of reporters
