Dangerous Love (2022)

Anti-hero ML with glutonous, naive FL

With the recent slew of anti-hero MLs for mini series, Wei Shangzhi (played by Li Qi Ge), is one of the most charismatic because of the way LQG played the character. If you’ve watched The Legendary Life of Queen Lau, Shangzhi is like the younger version of the Grand Chancellor Liu Xie if the story was centered around the anti-hero.

The FL Bai Zhi (played by Yang Xiaoting) was poorly written for me with the main character description as a glutunuos, naive lady. But at least YXT is very pretty and makes BAi Zhi’s character adorable and tolerable. Her chemistry with LQG is ok and there were some interesting and sweet scenes related to food that some might find off putting if you’re a germophobe but I like it.

What I don’t like is the mini series got confused if it was a romcom or a court intrigue drama because it introduced some problems that were poorly explained/resolved and the logic was so ???

I would recommend this as a filler to bide your time while waiting for the regular Cdrama to drop. Just play it in 1.5x speed.

Good mini-show with an interesting love story

This is a very good mini-show. The storyline is interesting and although the subbing was really bad at times, I understood most of the story. With better subbing it would have been clearer what was going on.
Character wise we get this not so outstanding and somewhat naive FL who gets married to a very manly and fierce ML with a hidden past and a terrible reputation of killing people (and wifes) left and right. Of course things are not that simple as we realize when everything unravels along the way.
Acting wise this is not top shelf but it’s definitely not bad. The actors do a fine job portraying their characters despite the short format and I guess low budget. The chemistry between the leads is good and the love story becomes very sweet.
So, if you like something fast and short with an interesting storyline, this is well worth watching.
