Watch another drama instead and save yourself 24 episodes of nothing

Every other revenge drama has done revenge a lot better than this show. That's really all you need to know about this show. Every plot point is predictable, every twist telegraphed way in advance, every scene pulled from a different show that undoubtedly did it better. There is NO heart in this and it's not even fun to watch for the crazy stuff... because nothing crazy happens!!! You know exactly what is going to happen, how it's going to happen, and what will result from it immediately. I lost track of how many times I went "oh boy WHO would've guessed THIS would happen????" because if you've watched any show ever... you know what will happen.

Other gripes:
- Every character is both smart and stupid depending on what the scene needs them to be. EVERY SINGLE ONE. You could make this a drinking game.
- Still no chemistry between Wei Zheming and Xu Lu. You do not get a sense that the two characters love each other.
- None of the emotional beats hit!
- WHY DID THEY HAVE THE STORYLINE WHERE HER NEW BROTHER FALLS IN LOVE WITH THE WOMAN WHO NOW HAS HER SISTER'S FACE???? AND WHY DID EVERYONE ACT LIKE THIS WAS FINE?????????? NO ONE WAS LIKE "THIS IS WEIRD, DUDE"???????????????????????????????????????? WHY??????????????????????????????????????? (Other than that, I liked Zishan... at least he stayed consistent.)
- One note villains.
- Why was this 24 episodes?

Save yourself the trouble of watching this show and watch ANYTHING else.
