[CDrama] 锦绣宅心 / Threads of Destiny (2025)


ahahaha lol what was that
This is a short form drama, so instead of basic 40 minutes we have 15 per episode. So production is obviously rather cheap and the plot is rushed as if it's a galloping horse. It's based on a webnovel and follows the story of two reborn sisters who switch places when they marry into the same house, Lu family. But one is full of petty tricks while other crushes the opponent with wit. Very melodrama, high-speed paced, every happens with convenience and for the effect. Never watched these before, very random find on YT. I basically opened up any drama that attracted me and looked first few minutes. Before I found a couple of main actors who'd make me watch them and also have at least some skills instead of being a wax face.
So the female lead here is gorgeous. Pity they have pretty heavy make-up which is too modern (like many details if you care to notice), but she is still gorgeous and fun to follow.
So I went to MDL and looked at her page, even if the girl films short form, it doesn't matter since sis is Working. I suppose Chinese entertainment industry is pretty harsh. But considering how many drama I passed by they release some crazy amounts of it.
What bought me was not only her but the chemistry of the two, to me it worked, they were cute.
The plot itself isn't anything new, it's packed with tropes and main character don't have a second without someone plotting against them, this is why some epic soundtrack is always playing to showcase how great they are or the moment is simply epic and you need to pay attention.
But I'll be honest, that ending was lost on me a bit, because it was done for only one character redemption.

The English version is available on YT.
