She Who is Dangerous to Me (2023)

Messy plot but good acting from ML

This is your typical ‘old school’ Chinese drama. Cold rich super capable ML, who can fight, save the damsel and merely get a small scratch on his face ?

The storyline is complicated. As usual, there is the power struggle from within the family to gain the majority shares and ultimately power of the family company. A lot of past history intertwined with missing persons and death. Somehow, the history of the ML tragic accidents involves the FL’s family as well! The FL’s character is bright and cheerful, but she loves too easily and emotionally unstable. In the first few episodes, the ML has his hand around her neck choking and threatening her in that manner. Not Cool. But of course towards the last few episodes, she becomes his pillar of strength.

Many holes in the plot. Many things don’t make sense. Very over dramatised ? Especially the final episode! Third parties- yes. A very annoying female rival Tang Lin who is rich but so spoilt and just cries when she cannot get the man she wants.

The romance between the main couple is quite nice. A short break up and he said very hurtful things to her, but we all know it’s not the truth ? Some nice PDA scenes, and yes it’s a happy ending. ML Fan Zhi Xin’s acting is really good in this one. It’s my first time watching him, and was impressed. Also very good looking ?
Give this a try, but don’t expect too much.

C-drama or Soap Opera, it's good either way

I actually enjoyed this drama a lot, though I understand why many don't. It is one of those over-dramatized family stories with lots of plot holes and questions, doppelgangers, family feuds, death, kidnapping, and all that fun stuff, haha. That's why I think it would qualify as a soap. It was a genuinely sweet drama with a fast-paced romance that keeps you going until the end. The characters are enjoyable to watch, and they fit very well into the story.
Shu Manning's character was admirable. though portrayed as weak, nervous, and anxious, she was not afraid in pursuing her love. And she loved that man with her whole life, she was willing to do anything for him.
Yan Xing Cheng fit the role of the Lethal Man quite well. His character was strong and unshakeable, yet showed his soft side to Manning, and he did love her very much. (PS: Their Kisses were the highlight of the whole thing )
The supporting characters were also pleasing to watch, they kept the story going.
the only downside of this drama would be the plot, it could have been written better though the story was interesting.
All in all its a good and recommended drama if you want a passionate romance with a bit of thriller, suspense, and drama.

Go with it!

I get tired of hearing how unrealistic a drama is when shows like Star Wars, Guardians of the Galaxy are popular! So why can’t a drama plot be similar to a James Bond movie ? I like this drama. It’s fun to wait for the next twist. Dramas, plays and shows are meant to entertain not necessarily be realistic unless you’re watching a documentary- right? I really like the ML as he is totally his role as part James Bond and part Indian Jones. He is flawed so we are rooting for him despite his sometimes mean behavior towards FL. I wish the writers would have made FL role a little lighter - outwardly she goes along with the role too easily as she doesn’t even snoop about her own family. Anyway I like this and want others to watch it. Don’t think too much. Just go with it. Kinda also reminds me of American gangster movies from the 1950,s I think it shows that Chinese writers are expanding their story lines . As for me I am tired of amnesia, love /hate leads and terminal illness plot lines . At least give this show a try.

An interesting Mystery Romance Drama but the last 4 episodes were a disappointment

My Lethal Man is a mystery romance drama starting not well-known actors and actresses with backgrounds in supporting roles in other C-dramas.

The production quality is so bad; everything is so bright, especially during the kissing scenes. I am not sure why Chinese dramas always do that for cheap quality productions on streaming platforms like iQiyi, Tencent, MangoTV, etc.

I enjoyed the mystery aspect of the drama when the ML tried to solve the 17-year-old car accident that took his family's life. The plot was interesting until the last 4 episodes when things went wrong and stupid.
Even though it has a happy ending, the way it unraveled was so bad, and the acting was not great for either of the entire cast.

The FL does a better job than the ML, and the supporting CPs were not great. Some of the songs in the OST were good.

I am giving it a 6.5 because of the music and the first 20 episodes.

Our Lethal Couple

1. ACTING
It's a collection of action+suspense+romance+depression/trauma. Honestly I really LOVE THE ACTING of the lead Fan Zhixin & Li Mozhi. Their CHEMISTRY & EMOTION are on top.

I didn't expect that Yan Xingcheng character will have many layers of emotion. I'm worried when he's angry cuz his anger really hits right. His madness ain't a joke. Then we he cried, he really looks helpless. When he got the attack, I'm sad for him. Seriously I hope Fan Zhixin can get more recognition by this character.

Li Mozhi also become my anticipated actress now. Her crying scene makes me feels sad too. She can varies her acting from the low confidence Shen Manning to the brave Manning. Her emotion hits right for me.

Together they supports each other through thick & thin. Their dialogue "I'm here" during peril situation really comforting.

2. OST
The OST is good here. It really brings out the right vibe for certain scene.

3. DIRECTING
I love how some scene are well directed to portray the right emotion/sequence. As example, the scene where the ML holds his hand out to help FL to get up from her devastated state. Then, the scene reversed when it's FL turn now to hold out her hands to ML while he's on his low state of life. Also, the drawing of drowning child that FL drawn really have a deep meaning to the ML that it makes him finally letting out his emotion after so much suppression. I really love the depth of this scene.

The cinematography also nice. The way they control the lighting really suits the mood either to be romantic/aesthetic.

4. STORY
I love the suspense they have in this series. Almost every episode got me hooked on the screen and eagerly wait what will happen to them. I understand that maybe the plot not someone's cup of tea but at least the suspense can bring us to watch this. Not to mention some plot twists also left me surprised.

I rarely enjoy modern chinese drama but this one really poke my interest to watch :D (P/S: this drama also kind of giving me a kdrama vibe ;D)

Really good thriller with a lot of tension everywhere! Give it a try!

This defintely was not what I expected but it did not disappoint. I think the overall storyline was really good like it's a good concept but I found it a little confusing to watch so I feel like rewatching would fill in the gaps. The story was really unique, I found a lot of reviews saying the same thing and it's true. This story really was very different from most of the other c-dramas I've watched. It has elements of comedy. It starts off a little jolly but it gets more and more serious and more and more passionate as well. It has a LOT of tension. Great acting from the cast too! Absolutely loved the skills portrayed here on screen. Both acting and the cinematography has been done very well. A nd you def should rewatch this drama because it surely will make you understand the plot better. AND the OST is perfectly fits the tension in the drama! Overall, A very well potrayed, interesting story taht is very tense, thrilling and full of suspense with a very passionate and cute love story too.?????️???

MY LETHAL MAN: TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN

My Lethal Man is a new Chinese drama following the story of Zhuang Xin Yan, the granddaughter of a rich and influential family, and Shen Man Ning, a local art student (both played by Li Mo Zhi). The drama begins with the story of twin roses. The two roses are identical, however when they encounter one another it results in one dying and the other beginning a new life. Similar to the story of the roses, Man Ning and Xin Yan quickly become entangled in an unexpected kidnapping case. However, Xin Yan dies in a car accident after she sacrifices herself to protect Man Ning.

When Man Ning wakes up in the hospital she learns of Xin Yan’s death, meets Yan Xing Cheng (played by Fan Zhi Xin), and is forced to become Xin Yan and Xing Cheng’s fiancé. Although Xing Cheng is cold and mysterious, he prepares Man Ning for her entry into the highly political and tense succession war of LH Star, Xin Yan’s family company. As the Xing Cheng and Man Ning work together and overcome the drama and difficulties in the Zhuang Mansion and LH Star, the two slowly grow closer and eventually learn to love and rely on each other. Additionally, they probe deeper into the unsolved, mysterious car accident that Xin Yan barely survived 17 years ago.

Thoughts

My Lethal Man is definitely not your typical Chinese drama. Although it follows the familiar theme of conglomerate succession, the series has a unique take on romance. Rather than having two characters fall for one another and take their time to establish a relationship, Man Ning and Xing Cheng are forced together as a couple and gradually grow closer.

Although Man Ning is initially portrayed as a weak and nervous character, she eventually becomes more confident and reassured as she attempts to become a legitimate Xin Yan and heir to LH Star. I also liked how she was willing to fight for her relationships. It was nice to see a Chinese drama break the stereotypical weak female lead who walks away from a relationship. Despite being strangers, Man Ning and Xing Cheng have great chemistry as they continue to grow closer with one. However, the connection between Xin Yan and Xing Cheng is definitely surprising and unexpected to say the least!

Interesting

Right now I am confused with only one episode. Why in the world is Yan Xing Cheng / Yan Yi to convince Shen Man Ning she is Zhuang Xin Yan. She already know who she is. I guess as it goes on she'll find out the truth. This Storyline peaked my interest. right now it has a lot of suspense to it. I don't see the chemistry between the main leads. I guess that too will change. All kinds of questions pop up. What about her parents and friends? They know who she is. How in the world is she going to make up her mind in one day!? Come on Producers!

The music is lacking for right now. It doesn't appear to match the occasion. They may have scored the music wrong.

How in the world is she going to remember everything about Zhuang Xin Yan in a couple days? She is stumbling all over the lace and no-one can see it. Really!? Another mindless, weak willed will not fight back and allows Yan Yi grab her face and she does nothing! Typical Chinese romance drama plot. The ML is a strong, rich, can do anything he wants person, with no personality. This Drama is starting to go down hill rapidly. I hope there is a subplot to this. This storyline has so many wholes in it. Like if she quit would could he do?

Final in episode 4 storyline is getting interesting. The acting has stepped up and the chemistry is taking form. For once can Chinese Writers and Producers has the FL not be a mumbling, weak minded, you can do any thing you want and I will not fight back person? Just Once! I guess Shen Man Ning can't dress herself. Why hasn't Shen Man Nin figure out that Yan Xing Cheng needs her more than she needs him?

From looking at the wealth and the dirt they do to keep their livelihood, it's a good storyline.

I have to ask: Why do Chinese Actors have a need to look white and Pale?

The suspense is fantastic. Even though I have pointed out some of the negatives in the Storyline, it is a good series. The twist and turns are so unexpected. When you think you got it figured it out and throw something back at you. Among the suspense and danger, there are parts that are very funny. This is why I like this Series, you don't know what you get. Stand tune. I did not expect that in Episode 19! Did I mention that this is also a Murder Mystery?

at first you will not like Yan Yi, but towards the end, you'll cheer for him; because all the crap he went through. You also will figure out Shen Man Ning, the way she is. Her best friend Rao Mei Na, was a totally friend and she was funny. I would recommend this storyline be watched.

Watched only for Fan ZhiXin and he didn't disappoint at all

FANN ZHII XINNN... you are one gem of an actor I need to tell you that! first watched him in My Girl as SL and he just swoon away all the attention apart from the main leads! Then watched him in Our Secret, again had to watch him as Second lead and wanting to watch him as ML one day and yes the dream came true and how... we could witness every node of his art in just one character- Romantic, jealous, a bit psycho, angry, domineering CEO, and what not! full package boss (bole toh paisa vasool!!)

If I had watched this drama in theatre, there were many scenes were I literally wanted to cheer for him by whistling and clapping???

Apart from him, the FL was also so so so good at her role, we could see Zhaung Xinyan when she played her for the tiny part and ofcourse Shen Manning when she played her, the difference was very clearly visible and here she won as an actor! hatsoff! Also, the Indian audience who is reading my review, can you agree to me that she is Rashi khanna's doppleganger, omg for me, they look exactly the sameee!!! such coincidence ??

The story, bit sucked to me because I felt it went round and round and the drama did not take the name of stopping and the story mostly focused on the shares of LH group and Zhaung Family instead of main leads love story, they could have shown more of them rather than those foolish plans and plots. also, the story ended in rather unsatisfied way, cause I wanted to see what happened to Jaikai and Caixuan after his mother's arrival but it was all left to audience to assume that they might be in jail, yes agreed their deeds were such they must be in jail but did their intention changed, did Caixuan wholeheartedly apologized to others for murdering 3 people...
