real nitty gritty doesn't begin till EP 13, like lots of skipping!!

Dunno where to begin....

This face-trope was interesting in the beginning, as it sets up the premise for revenge...

But, revenge never really came...

Evil sisters, too many, are at the center of this familial dysfunctional mess of jealousy, greed and utter madness...

I came for the main leads' CP & chemistry, while trying to ignore the big total mess of uneven, ludicrous plots running amok...

I had to skip over many bad plots/acting from the evil sisters & wicked mother...

This drama would've been way concise if it were just 12 EPs of 10-min run each, like I'd prefer to watch it in FULL VERSION real time, just to enjoy the CP pairing alone, but it's just way too long-winded....

Do NOT waste your time lest U can afford to skip around, get the gist, and move along as quickly as possible!

Frustrating to watch

I liked the premise and thought the identity change thing was pretty convincing. I liked her relationship with her brother.

BUT: The male lead is just a bully at this point. He's in charge of catching criminals and has an extended misunderstanding arc where he wrongly suspects the female lead because her various revenge-related rendezvous coincides with the activities of a genuine criminal. He's absolutely brutal towards her and she can't do much to fight back other than the occasional snark. HE isn't even a smart man, judging by how shit he is at extracting information even after resorting to torture. Meanwhile, SHE isn't exactly bright either, mainly because the plot needs her to be the reckless one so she could get caught and give the male lead an opportunity to assert his dominance. Yikes, I'm not looking forward to them eventually becoming a couple. Neither am I looking forward to watching her seek her revenge, so far, she seems to be good at two things, (1) using her newfound station to bully those who wronged her in her previous identity and (2) enduring abuse from the male lead 'interrogator' until her new brother shows up and gets absolutely furious at the man

A vingança mais lenta e desinteressante de todas

Eu gostei do começo da história, fiquei esperando uma bela vingança, mas a FL parecei perdida na própria história. O roteiro é fraco, você consegue adivinhar tudo que vai acontecer. E o pior de tudo é que conseguiram deixar o Wei Zhe Ming com um visual feio.

Achei sem sentido o irmão se apaixonar pela FL que tem o mesmo rosto e voz de sua irmã, isso é muito estranho.

A FL se perde no roteiro, em alguns momentos ela é inteligente e forte e em outros é tão estúpida.

Sem dúvidas a melhor atuação foi do príncipe vilão!

ho iniziato questo telefilm perchè il trailer sembrava promettente e avevo già visto alcuni drama con Miles Wei, la storia mi ha presa fin dal primo episodio, scorre bene e ti invoglia a vedere la puntata successiva.
c'è più di un cattivo e le motivazioni sono abbastanza plausibili, niente di nuovo come trama ma è comunque piacevole da vedere e ben recitata.
solo un paio di episodi intorno al 18 mi ha annoiata, ma solo in alcuni tratti.
penso che avrebbero potuto usare meglio un personaggio secondario femminile.. ma non vedo cmq l'ora di vedere come risolvono tutti i nodi della trama.

aggiornamento: mi è piaciuto come hanno concluso la serie, i colpi di scena me li aspettavo ma sono graditissimi.

c'è possibilità di una seconda stagione? spero di sì!!
