Crazy-Fast Pacing & Interesting Storyline... but truly MESSY editing & Plot doesn't Plot EVER.
Plot is super-fast paced and I actually love the lead actors. The FL's dad is such a slimeball I actually want to skip his parts because he makes me uncomfortable when watching his maneuvering, shamelessness, and vileness. We all know why the FL came back and that's to get revenge, but, honestly, I'm seeing a lot of things almost happening on their own rather than because she had a hand in them.
Another question for me is why doesn't the ML just tell the FL who he is?
There seems to be tons going on but at the same time a whole lot of nothing. It's a little mind-boggling. With all the ML's power, why is he going about things the hard way? Same for the FL. Except for her plotting to get taken back into the family (in which the ML even saw through immediately and it seems the Grandma did too...) I don't see her smarts, her plans etc coming to any sort of point? Every time she even finds/brings in evidence, someone in her family just cries "family business" and it's swept under the rug or fobbed off on whomever is convenient.
FL, I'm guessing is supposed to be "cold hearted" in this but her character is coming off as mute/blank-faced instead.
Also that banquet was a little crazy... FL did absolutely nothing and 2ML just fell at her feet? Same for the one sister and Pei guy? Really? A glance and one person is betrothed and the other is suddenly the 2ML's one and only? yipes.
IDK... maybe I'm only still watching because of ML at this point and I didn't even realize it until I started my review LOL.
Still watching the last 12 episodes though ^_^
again and again the FL is just reacting to things happening to her or more like... no reaction at all. ML saves her so many times it's crazy and revenge just isn't revenging. Disjointed editing and a mess of a "plot" that really isn't plotting.
But really the editing and scene cuts/transitions are SO SO bad that it was very hard to keep watching. I said "wtf is happening" more than once... it's a MESS.
Final few episodes... FL still didn't figure anything out... everyone just decided to TELL HER what happened in the past. Just like her stepmother telling her about the mirror which made zero sense for that character to do at that time. Everything from the past was revealed like it never meant a thing to the plot. People died. A side sister had a HEA like she actually deserved it even though she was a vile character for 23/30 episodes. ML's revenge was forgotten, his bro dropped off the radar and so did other important side characters. All the way to the end this drama was a MESS.
ML is such a great actor but the plot etc did him dirty.
PASS.
