I sat through Maid's Revenge and enjoyed it so I'm not stranger to toxic romance but Lord have mercy this couple take the cake when it comes to toxicity from start to finish all I could think is " I hope she kills this man" now before I go ham let me give the show it's praise. When the romance is good it's amazing I felt the chemistry between the two leads and genuinely bought into their romance and attraction for each other but on the other hand when their relationship is bad it's diabolical.

Our female lead Gu Meng when from a bad ass martial arts queen to a whimpering baby like I am able to count on my hand how many times she lost her memory and previously even when she loses her memory she was clearly shown to still be able to do martial arts but then the narrative seem to forget it's own rules or wanted to give the male lead the chance to save her, or else what does he have to offer her, and she never does martial arts again and I say all this but she truly is the highlight of the drama and that should tell you where the bar is.

Cheng Ming is that one friend when you tell him "oh I want to break into my ex's house and kidnapped them so they can consider giving our relationship another chance" he will deadass look you in your eyes and tell you "pop off queen" just a enabler.

Zhou Jiao Jiao there one thing I have to say this this character..... you be weak in the knees stand up, STANDUP

Zhou Zi Chen I have nothing to say about him except what I already said to his sister both of them are just sad and the fact that the show made him, unintentionally mind you, the least offensive..... dear god

Xiao Hong Ye..... actually the worst I don't hate characters very easily but the whole time I was watching this show I was praying for his downfall the narrative tried so many times to wash away his sins but after the tea incident he was dead in my eyes there was nothing left to save for his character and every second he wasn't on screen I was able to breathe.


But anyways do watch the show if you love mess like me and justice for Gu Meng you are the only bitch I respect in this house
