You should watch only the first 10 episodes, and drop it afterward. Bad drama.
Footprints of Change is a melodrama that spans over 60 years, from the 1930s to the 1990s, starring an ensemble cast that expands across three generations of three women during that time.
The acting is good, but the script takes a turn for the worse after 10 episodes. The first 10 episodes, starring Cheng Lei and Jelly Lin, featured more engaging and dynamic stories, as well as on-screen chemistry.
From episodes 11 to 20, starring Tong Yao and Liu Yi Jun. Tong Yao's character Yi Yi was the niece of Lin Si Yun (played by Jelly Lin). Her character and Wen Pu were frustrating to watch because of the ridiculous involvement of the Communist Party in their lives, to the point of being absurd.
From episodes 21 to 30, starring Rain Wang, she played Ye Xi Ning, the granddaughter of Yi Yi. The last 10 episodes were a waste of my time, and I watched them at 2x speed.
In short, don't waste your time with this drama. If you insist, then watch only the first 10 episodes with Cheng Lei and Jelly Lin.
Synopsis: This drama shows an old bungalow and the three generations of women it witnessed - Lin Si Yun, Yi Yi, and Ye Xi Ning in the sixth century. In the ten years of changing times, we have constantly encountered collisions between reality and dreams. In the 1930s, Lin Si Yun returned to China with the dream of opening a maternity hospital, but encountered war. In the 1950s, the hospital was transformed into a clothing factory. Although Lin Si Yun's niece, Yi Yi, dreamed of becoming a clothing designer, she faced dual career and love challenges due to her status as the widow of a Kuomintang officer. By the 1990s, this old bungalow had been transformed into a well-known hotel in Shanghai. Yi Yi's granddaughter, Ye Xi Ning, was originally preparing for her best friend's wedding here. Still, she was accidentally involved in a conspiracy, which led to her losing her job and incurring huge debts, forcing her to join the wave of reform and opening up and face challenges bravely. Three generations spanned sixty years, and each left their own footprints in the tide of the times, witnessing their unyielding strength and courage.
