Ok I let it rest for a few days to let go of all the expectations I had after being quite disappointed by the 4 episodes. Now coming back to it, it's actually not that bad. The pace is better from ep 5 and we can finally see how the story actually make them evolved. Love the Mountain arc cause we can clearly see how strong and clever they both are. I hope they will continue to show their dynamic cause that was what made the novel so good.
honestly he is giving bad news these 2 eps.The way he brought her family background is so weird and how he says…
Yes exactly 😠Also the way he rushed her for an answer about the mariage. I loved him so much she definitely she deserves someone upright like him but these last episodes kinda weirded me out. I really thought their story would be more romantic at first. But since it's during the cultural revolution maybe their story is supposed to be an eye-opener compared to the main couple. Anyway for the moment I'm kinda sceptical I just hope they won't give me too much heartbreak 😅 I would love to know what happens to them in the novel but I should wait patiently
So where do people that got punished to re-educate goes? Is it lifetime punishment?
From what I know they go to re education camp and the sentence can go from 1 to 20 years. But there have been massive liberations in 1976 with the death of Mao. I don't think they explained clearly yet what Muyang's parents were accused of but in laogai they usually go through forced labor in mines, farms, factories or road building, food privation, physical discipline and psychological torture
I wondered a bit at it, too, but then I think about the time that they live in with a lot of political turmoil…
Oh I see I hope you're right cause that professor warning her about how it can be dangerous not taking into consideration a man's past and his real personnality, gave me a scare. I hope the doctor doesn't have a hidden agenda
About Feng Lin... I hate her with the fire of a thousand suns. Truly hoping her character pays for all the selfishness…
Ling Yi too ! She's such an opportunist I hate her two faced attitude ! She's so ungrateful too I hope Feng Lin won't be collaborating with her against the main couple otherwise I might die from anger
I have watched a lot of dramas set in these periods and they don't censor words like "reeeducation camps",…
Thank you so so much for such a detailed answer 🫶 I didn't know Mao's image was this well preserved. I will do research on all of this then! Thank you again for taking your time to answer!
dang. it's hard to watch an obviously grown up looking man playing a middle school student. lol
Ahaha I had the same reaction. At least Tian Chen is kinda believable but Johnny Huang is far too old and bulky for it ðŸ˜ðŸ˜… they should have at least make it like it was the last year of high school not freaking middle school 💀

Could you perhaps list me some of the issues ? I would love to look more into it. The drama really got me interested into this period of time. Until now I only knew about the working conditions in factories (though it's from a very occidental point of view so I'm not sure if it's 100% reliable)
I was so invested in this drama that I do some researching on that era or what happened during that time in China..…
Yes me too! The drama really did a great job in introducing the setting cause it got me really curious to learn more about it! Until now I only had a darker image of that time with what we learned in high school so this got me really interested to learn more about its system
I hope Yiran's acting improves in the next episodes; I love him, but his acting is so stiff here; he was so good…
I believe it's mostly because of the script. The dialogues and scenes from the novel are all over the place in the drama. That's why rather than appreciating the moments where he is supposed to feel wronged, it feels like he is reacting out of place I swear when you know the story his acting is really good but the pacing doesn't do it justice
the cuting of the scenes are off like when the female was speaking or even the male lead they will be showing…
Considering that it was supposed to be 40 episodes I fear they decided to cut too much in the first episodes. Same I don't even have time to process one scene that we're already onto another problem. They mixed a lot of moments together so the script ends up quite messy when you have already read the novel. The characters had so much depth in the novel 😠they removed too much
