If you’re into Chinese dramas with a dash of romance, a sprinkle of mystery, "Guess Who I Am" is your next worthy choice.
I have been in a drama slump... just dropped about 8 of them including those which have been hyped a lot as hits. Nothing has been working for me so this was a truly pleasant surprise. The story is full of cliches and all the usual tropes but well executed. The wardrobe is a stand out. Beautiful OST and some surprising changes to the tropes as well - no misunderstandings - they are nipped in the bud really fast as they emerge which is great.
The dialogues are really good - particularly the subtle sensual ones - 'Are you offering yourself to me ? says the ML to the FL with sweet/smouldering look.... wowza!
The story kicks off with a wild case of mistaken identity and just keeps piling on the twists and turns.
The male lead’s got secrets, and somehow, in the middle of all the chaos, he starts falling for the female lead who honestly is CHAOS personified.
Let’s talk about the male lead because, honestly, he owns this show- smooth, intense, brooding, and occasionally so vulnerable you’ll want to jump into the screen and give him a hug. His side-smile game? On point. The female character is strong, fun, a bit crazy and really liberated but in the nicest way.
Don’t even get me started on his chemistry with the female lead—it’s electric, but not in that cheesy, over-the-top way. More like, “Are they acting or just falling for each other IRL?” kinda vibe.
Beyond all the drama and mystery, the show is about trust, figuring out who you really are and realising you don’t have to be perfect to deserve love. Oh, and there’s a healthy dose of “Will they? Won’t they?” to keep you emotionally invested.
"Guess Who I Am" is like a bag of chips—you tell yourself you’ll just watch one episode, and next thing you know, it’s 2 AM, and you’re debating calling in sick to finish it. The lead’s acting is what makes it truly special.
Rating: 4.5/5 – Watch it for the mystery, stay for the male lead’s smoldering sweet gazes and acting and the great chemistry. The romance of the other two couples is quite adorable as well.
