Shi Zi Shan Xia Qing (2022)

Bad points
- very blatant and quite nauseating pro-China propaganda, which I'm sure a lot of Hong Kong citizens do not agree with.
- the set designs, clothing and dialogue for the 1980s-1990s era were quite unsuitable. The dialogue seems especially incongruous, feels like it was written by a person growing up in 2000s.

Good points
- great performance from the cast, especially Myolie Wu. The younger actors and actresses were not bad and could hold their own against the older and more experienced cast.
- from the 2000s era onwards, the cellphones they used were so accurate! I really adore seeing the flip or slide phones, Nokia's sturdy 3310 phones and Motorola slim phones - it brought back all the memories!
- the adorable friendship between Wing-On and Sisi; the way they started as a bickering pair to best friends supporting each other through the years! We love female friendships and I wish they had more scenes together.
