On The Rise of Ning • Oct 10, 2024
Title The Rise of Ning
The Double did this "daughter accused as a child of hurting the pregnant favorite wife of the father and sent away for years and returns and is still mistreated by the father and his cunning favorite wife" already, just some months ago, and The Double did it really well, so that's a huge disadvantage for this drama. The timing of the release of the drama is not very good since there's now unavoidably comparison with The Double which was a huge hit drama. Hopefully I can get over it, but I keep remembering everything from The Double, even the nasty sister is there, and the FL's loyal maid servants, and the grandma who is frustrated with her son and dotes on her granddaughter, and the FL is smart and brave like in The Double... Finding it hard to get into this story. Wish there would have been enough time between the release of these two dramas, or that the directors wouldn't make dramas that are so similar to each other at the same time. Maybe later the drama will be different from The Double, enough to make me get over this and be able to keep watching it...
