Finished the 1st epi somehow, not good at all unless one's expectations are quite low. So far only Fay has done a good job but I wonder if she'll be enough to make me watch the rest of the drama...
Have you tried Soul Sisters? There's also a bunch of imho really enjoyable mini dramas (I thought Cage of Shadows…
Thanks! I've bookmarked both. A couple of years back I had come across many chinese mini GLs, they were so beautifuly made and the actresses were quite good.
Most short dramas are aimed at youngsters who mostly don't care about low quality. The only good aspect is that these dramas have some really good actors who may not easily get lead roles in long form dramas...
MDL needs to start specifying which dramas are made for young girls. The FL is definitely strong and I loved that about her, but since it's aimed at young viewers, she starts to act stupid every now and then, which lowers the quality of the drama. Dropped it.
The original story was already stupid, instead of working on a fresh idea the writer simply swapped roles of the leads. Hence, another silly drama. But the actors were good.
6 episodes already. The FL is not just submissive but stupid as well. I don't know if it's her acting or the way the character has been written but she fails to evoke any sympathy for her. Her disgusting husband is the real villain, and the actor has done well.
The FL's mother is old but brainless. She keeps blaming the other woman for 'stealing' the husband as if he is a toy with no brains. She has no control over the cheating man, so the easiest way is to fight with a stranger.
But the ML is even worse. Instead of staying neutral when he knew a hotel guest was cheating on his wife, the ML went out of his way to protect the cheater to further his own career. Such a man is a massive red flag.
Now that the ML is softening, I thought the FL would become smarter as well. But whenever her filthy dad protects his concubine, all the FL can do is to act shocked as if she doesn't know what a loser he is. Hopefully the drama won't just keep showing women being beaten while letting the main culprit suffer a few insults and get away with it.
On the 7th epi and as soon as the ML appears, all that the FL can do is cry, beg or kneel in front of him. All her independence and strength disappears in front of him. I hope it changes soon.
