A vingança da criada (2022)

It's so violent but the male lead is so hot

If you are into those revenge melodramas with a love-hate relationship and a domineering but sexy male lead then this drama might be worth your while.

The plot is full of cliches that can draw you in. Tingyao has lived a sheltered existence as the only daughter of the Dong family and fiance of Fang Fuze (note: they never as adults). On the night her family was annihilated, she met Tianyi who she then blamed for the massacre. She went to the Fangs for help but to her shock, her half-sister was already there pretending to be her. Unable to provide proof of who she was, she was beaten but was saved by Fuze. She was then forced to become a maid in the house but was surprised once again when she came across her fiance's uncle, the governor that she thought would be able to help her, and discovered he was actually Tianyi! He took her to a bed to make it look like they slept together then announced that she's his personal maid. So by now she hates Tianyi and thinks Fuze is nice. But based on previews, what she didn't know was that Tianyi tried to stop the massacre but was too late and it actually Fuze who brought disaster to her family. The two men will fight for her attention while she tries to prove who she is and complete her revenge. I think she will definitely prove her identity and will try to marry Fuze while having complicated feelings for Tianyi.

The Republican setting gives an elegant feel. But while I understand that this was a violent time, I don't think it's necessary have over the top violence. I was shocked when the Tingyao was beaten until she bled just because she insisted that she's real daughter of the Dong family. I hope there won't be too much of this in future episodes.

The actors are good looking, Tingyao looks sweet and Tianyi looks fit. The preview I've seen of their kisses exudes chemistry. They seem to have a love-hate relationship. I just hope it won't be the usual toxic mess seen in other dramas of this time setting.

So for now I'll chase this drama but may drop it if my tolerance level can't take it anymore.
