Wan Wu Sheng (2025)

DRAMA OF THE YEAR - SO REAL

I believe this should be the top Drama of 2025........it was so real ...... tells and shows us about the country / farmers and how they lived being on the land back than, take my hat off to the producers and actors for showing us how they survived through famine / floods /wars and how the whole village supported each other ........ will re-watch again and again.
To the main actors Xiuxiu & Dajiao brilliant performance from these two, they portrayed the characters so real I loved that Dajiao put on some weight for this drama he looks so good and also the other actors fantastic portrayal of the times give it 20/20.

The enduring farming village

This is in many ways a richly-produced picture into life in a small farming village int he 1920s-1930s - filled with an varied assortment of characters not unlike a Dickensian novel. Brought to life by a wonderful cast, this drama was almost one of my favorites of the year until the halfway mark. The story then takes some unusual steps after that, introducing politics in a very preachy way with a lot of over-the-top dramatic moments as well in the individual storylines.

Still, this is worth checking out if you want to explore this time period in a slightly different way (i.e. not your typical Republican era drama) and to see Yang Mi portray a very different kind of character. She and Ou Hao share great onscreen chemistry, and their story really does carry the entire drama, even with its faults.
