I think they included these parts for this drama to be able to pass censorship - I just shut off my brain during…
But they do mention the dates, right at the beginning the date is on screen, and that it's the same day (or the next day) as the HKG handover. Whatever we may think about it, it seems accurate that this propaganda would be a part of school children's life at the time... :/
Irrelevant, but the Nokia 3310 box was so nostalgic & iconic (at least for me)!! :D ...But then he opened the box & the phone inside was Not a Nokia 3310, LMAO!! :D
Chu Ying's love for the game is so infectious. It makes me want to learn how to play the game too!
Yeah me too!! I actually finally decided to learn how Go is played due to this drama, lol, for now I suck big time though! :D Here's a good guide for beginners I found btw: https://youtu.be/xMshtO8h7RU
Wow the amount of CCP propaganda promoting HK integration is so intense...
I think they included these parts for this drama to be able to pass censorship - I just shut off my brain during these scenes and try to ignore them like a really bad commercial - it's dreadful but it is what it is I guess... :/
Happy Birthday to our greatest boy ever, happy birthday to our most lovable man, happy birthday to our cream of the crop, happy birthday to our single-plank bridge crosser, happy birthday to our silliest genius, happy birthday to the biggest heart despite the greatest scars, happy birthday to the most serious clown, happy birthday to our transcendent, 5d, most real felt fictional character ever, happy birthday to LWJ's life-mate & soul-mate, Happy Birthday to Wei Ying, Wei Wuxian!!!! <3

I liked the article, good drama choices!! I've watched Faith & Moon Embracing the Sun, and most of the others are on my plan to watch lists since forever, lol! Btw, I thought that something was broken & I kept reloading it 'cause I couldn't read anything at first, but then I realised this is written for Light Mode only, you may want to mention this next time!! ;)
Great article, thank you for it!! And a Big Thank you to all MDL reviewers, who make our drama life easier!!! ^.^ (If only I wasn't that lazy & perfectionist, then maybe I'd seriously start writing reviews myself...)
Yes, but at least he doesn't (let himself) die of his disease, he gets a badass ending, on the battlefield!!
Season 2 is a different story with different characters, set in the same world, about ~50-60 years later. But they drop plenty of Easter eggs about the characters of the 1st season on it, so if you've already watched it before, it kinda becomes more precious. But I personally love both seasons (almost) equally, the 1st has a grander story/plot, with everything tying up perfectly, while the 2nd is more emotionally compelling (at least to me). So I highly recommend watching both!!
Even though I was able to guess the ending, I can still recommend to everyone who likes anything suspenseful/mysterious to drop everything they watch right now & watch this drama in its entirety!!!! It's indeed a hidden gem!! :)
