I think I'm spiraling ahaha
THIS IS UNHINGED. FL is UNHINGED all capital letters. This is the case when someone steals the show for being crazy. By that I mean ML is quite crazy but FL is CRAZIER. True enemies-to-lovers story. Both have a deep grudge from the beginning and do things out of spite only to go through many adversaries and dangers together before their feelings changed.
It has a bit of old-school drama sadistic elements, but the story is quite gripping and my thoughts on FL are basically - oooh~ she's a spicy woman~
But in reality, the story is about a sudden marriage when ML's paramour is reported to be murdered by a carriage, the one at fault is a childhood sweetheart of FL. She is a daughter of a minister and he asked her to take the blame for him, his prostects in the future exam and his entire life will be otherwise over, blinded by love she agrees although fails to see the true nature of her lover and has no idea what accepting the charges as her own will bring her. ML forcefully marries her to make her "suffer", but she is not having any of it. Her schemes and actions, her change of face at the drop of a handkerchief leave no space to doubt that while ML is toxic, she is an acid subtsance too. Knowing the truth that she who always considered herself smart was a fool in the face of love, now she tries to prove her innocence, but it's a bit too late to extract yourself from many intrigues of this house.
One must know that this is not a healthiest relationship, while they reach for a better future they hurt each other plenty.
Since it's a short-form also there is no need to expect anything grand from the story, but hoenstly it perfectly portrays some of the moments in webnovels I would like to have a visual reference for, now I have it. If I read something like this I'm not sure if I'd like it on the same level as this drama.
Also of course production is on the level which is obvious, but some things made me openly laugh (especially the convoy that was leaving the city left on foot, no horses, no carriages, I think the one I saw before at least had a horse, they're not cheap).
And actress who plays FL is gorgeous but also good at it.
Anyway, one reaction - oooh~ It's obvious I opened because of the poster and the title, after all it's daring to name a show this way, but boy it paid off.
Honestly, this actress was so good at her craft I wish the budget would be more abundant, nothing high class but at least will include some additional footage that will fill in the gaps. Like the ending is emotional but two characters appear that we thought were finally over. Also despite the villains being one-dimensional, I liked the idea overall. In spoilers~
Not naming the main guy behind the scenes, but I liked the idea of "possibility" in this scenario. If Fan Xingxu did not marry the heroine, he probably would not have discovered the identity of his "lover". Because of her actions and the original set-up it did not go as planned for her, so not only she gave herself out, but also did not get the man she fell in love with.
Also details are short and shallow, but ML and FL have a feeling of fated lovers, since her diary that she lost in the past was found and used to shape the identity of this "lover" girl.
Part of me thinks it's a pity that I myself am filling the gaps and the story has only necessary bones, at least they have those and it's not completely illogical.
