I picked up this drama as a filler, but holy cannoli, this got me hooked from the get go.
It had that realistic element, and the actors portrayed their role well. I got a good grasp of knowledge on how socialist China worked and the life of factory workers. People's living conditions weren't the best, most were living coupon to coupon and in small houses or rooms, but it seemt so enriching and fulfilling. The parts about Earthquake was very tear jerking, I could feel the emotions of characters and felt deeply involved in the elements portrayed.
All those negative characters are fairly dealt with without the involvement of main characters and that is very new to me. Every single character in this drama had a strong sense of individuality and growth making the watcher's feeling raw.

This is a great slice of the life drama, even though it might not like glittery like other dramas, i can assure you that this is amazing and should be watched at least once.
