A mixed bag of pros and cons with a few pretty good kiss scenes.
I know Cheng Yu Feng (the ML) is capable of some pretty brilliant performances, but this isn't one of them. However, his portrayal of this character was solid, and I think he did the best he could with what he had to work with, considering the mediocre script and rushed feel of the production. For the FL, this was sort of a breakout role for her and I think she also did pretty well. It wasn't anything super spectacular, but you could tell she was putting effort into taking this lead role seriously and I think with experience she will grow into a really amazing actress.The bgm/ost were actually not terrible, which to me is a nice surprise for a short-length c-drama. The wardrobes were very nice, and some of the settings were beautiful and interesting -- although some of the interior shots were tres tragique. The script had some points that could have made it really great. But it also was packed with a lot of npc-level dialogue, cliche moments, and storyline fails. The side characters and backstories are not fleshed out properly, the whole thing feels like a half-baked budget production that just wasn't planned out carefully.
I found it particularly annoying that the ML and FL don't share a lot of onscreen chemistry moments. Their kiss scenes are really good, and there are some scenes where you can feel a little angst and passion rise from the actor's performances. So I know the chemistry COULD have been there. But actors just can't give their best performances when they're being rushed and poked and prodded at by a director and production team that won't devote the effort and time it takes to create the right atmosphere for their actors to actually ACT.
I wish ML and FL all the best on their future projects, they are both far better than this mediocrity. Is it worth a watch? Yes, if you're truly bored and without anything else to watch. It's not the worst thing I've ever seen. It just isn't very memorable.

No misunderstanding and strong till the end
So, the story was nothing extraordinary. Revenge plot and nothing exceptionnal or new. I found it decent, I wasn't really bored. Mind to say, I have different standart and rating for mini drama vs normal lenght drama. Also, when I compare, I compare with other mini drama. For me 2 different world😂 of course short drama are not the same bugdet, quality, name it,...But, what I liked to most about this is the relationship between the leads. Them working together till the ends after they started. No misunderstanding or problems between them. Slowly trusting, helping and sharing with each other. I liked that. Also, both were there for each other, ML supporting and saving her a few times. They found each other, FL definitely suffered more, but both suffered and their family trash (well again FL is definitely worst, that mom was horrible and money hungry, felt so bad for FL). That scene in the last ep, when she got the call from the police and she said "I have no mother", I was like go girl. I loved that scene when they both severed things with their family and met. We could say they are both alone. The nephew wasn't bad but anyway
Chemistry was not bad to me, we got 2 good kiss too.
Acting was decent.
FL getting back with that annoying girl was satisfying at time
The beginning, the memorial and what they did with the ashes of the brother, that was horrible
The revenge could have been better and more satisfying for sure... but sister going kinda crazy, loosing her baby and everything. The mom in prison. At the same time, with the plot they made the evidences destroyed/lost so, it was still something I guess
Nephew was annoying at time, like bro she doesn’t want you.
Anyway, for a mini drama, I think it wasn't bad
