Xiangbei Regret (2024)

Xiangbei Regret, made me think of my own

woah, it’s crazy how much the Mini Dramas have levelled up, from being all about rich CEO and poor woman or damsel in distress.
The plot of this show is quite different and refreshing, I like how the show is expressing.
They try to touch current problems like Depression, Love, Focussing only on Career and neglecting family, Importance of Communication, and so on.
I am glad I watched it, it is not your normal happily ever after, it is different, but trust me, the story line is worth it, although there were some loopholes here and there, they pulled it off quite well.

A short and binge-able drama about life regret with mediocre acting from the cast.

Xiangbei Regret is a short melodrama about a girl who gave up on life after the loss of her mother and lives to regret it.

Synopsis: Freelance photographer Mo Xiang Bei unexpectedly gets pregnant. At the same time, her childhood boyfriend, Mu Yi Nan, is focused on his career. As tensions rise over his frequent absences and an actress's advances, Mo becomes increasingly suspicious. After the loss of her mother and miscarriage, she breaks down and leaves Mu, starting a new life in Dali with a small shop called "Regret Inn," seeking self-redemption.

My Reviews:
1. The story is okay and less believable.
2. The acting is mediocre, especially for newcomer He Qiu. The entire ensemble, including the ML, Peng Han Chen, acted mediocrely.
3. It is a short drama that is binge-able. Each episode is 10 minutes long and has 20 episodes in total.
4. Mu Yi Nan put so much emphasis on his career that he neglected his childhood girlfriend, Mo Xiang Bei.
5. It is sad that by the time he comes to realize that he needs her. She died. I don't understand why she has to die, but oh well.
6. I give it a 6.0 rating.
