can someone pls tell me does this drama has kiss scenes ?
Not yet up to ep 17/23, and this drama doesn't primarily focus on young love. Instead, it explores themes of family, personal growth, and friendships. As a result, there aren't many cute romantic scenes; however, it does portray ML and FL in a very special way.
Can anyone tell me that is Ming Sheng and Qingyu connected to each other somehow..I mean do they have some childhood…
From what I skimmed through the original novel, MS actually loves at first sight with QY when they first met coincidentally at the age of 14 or 15, before everything happens.
For the scene you referred to in this drama version, I suppose MS and QY first met at the art college where Bei Yu studied and where MS's mother works something related to the piano. My theory is that MS comes to the college with his mom, who leaves him while she attends to something. While waiting, he starts playing a piano he found in a room. A girl enters, listens to him, and begins to dance. They share a joyful moment without speaking, just immersed in music and dance. Then, someone calls out "Qiao Qingyu" (possibly Bei Yu's voice), and the girl rushes off. It could be that QY was at the college with her sister that day.
From their first encounter, MS might have developed a special feeling for this dancing girl, even though he only knew her name. After that, until they meet again under the old tree, MS continues to remember Qiao Qingyu and recognises her. It's kind of a destiny, haha.
If you miss watching this drama, maybe watch this reaction series from real OBGYN doctors' YouTube channel, I just finished them review 12 eps of Resident Playbook, it feels really great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKp7E44YvUA (It has EngSub!)
found it awful that he showed no remorse after the rape and that he visited her smiling days later...How can you…
Yeah, it's so confusing. I try to explain that the drama aims to create no good no bad characters (as no human is morally perfect), even the protagonist. However, the rape cannot be tolerated, and how he deals with it and just returns to China (?). Qiu Hong and Tian Bai raise the kid as a family, I think this plot is acceptable but QH clearly has a lot of conflict with her own son (yes it's a result from a crime).
I find the script is really odd, I don't even know why they have to connect QH with LX from the beginning, like they try to create a sad romance between these two but it's unnecessary. A politically turbulent country provides enough drama and sadness, it should focus more on that theme.
I feel weird right now... this drama has led to the point that makes me uncomfortable and at the same time, I have to try to understand the characters' actions????
I like this drama, although I'm not a fan of historical and political themes. I still give this a try with a quite sceptical mind since I wonder how it will approach such a divided period in modern Chinese history and draw this to a comprehended story.
Till now, I saw friendship has bloomed between 3 men, and I guess they're fated to stand in different political stances soon. I hate the Chemist revolutionist (Tian Bai) and the relationship with Qiu Hong, who is portrayed as a smart and brave girl but seems like too easily be gaslighted (she complained but why not do anything against him).
Since this is a based-on-history piece, the ending is already there, so does the drama intrigue me to continue watching the journey of these youngsters while they try hard to find a way for their homeland and to live? Yeah, it does. Let's see how will this turn out.
at first I saw all the comments about crying and decided I'd skip this, since I don't really like those sad cry-every-episode…
I started watching recently with the caution that this one will be a cry drama, but it turns out that it is not as sad as a tragedy. I found this drama is just like somebody's memoir, it's about their upbringing, love, and wounds, but after all, they know that life is bittersweet but worth it. So you can check it yourself, you might tear up at some point, but I assure you there are many romance, comedy and thought-provoking moments too.
A really good and comprehensive school romance film! It has a typical trope like the others in the same genre but with great emotional experience and little cute moments.
My biggest problem with this drama is the boring delivery - how they always choose close-up shots, and the actors' faces always appear hugely on my screen, creating a sense of confinement due to the lack of space. At times, I also find the pacing slow and dragged out, I think its editing has flaws, during moments of danger, the drama chooses a slow-mo and reduces the tension that is supposed to provoke in those scenes. However, I like the story and character setups, their OST is really good too, I just hope the delivery can be more effective instead of the melodrama showcase with constant dialogue like now.
I know it's a romance, and every painful moment is staged, but I don't want Raina to die. I can't bear to imagine what has happened to the soldiers after the explosion. If Li Zan is alive, can I hope that Benjamine and Captain Jiang are still alive too? OMG, it's heading into the PTSD part, and I'm not ready for it yet.
I loved Descendent of the Sun, and also I'm watching The white olive tree now. I can say they are not similar in plot development at all, except they share the same topic of involving in the war zone and kind of heroic characters. If I have to pick what is the same, then I feel it is a little alike in these two's cinematography (just a bit).
I recommend you set your head in the "brainless" mode to watch this drama. It will get nonlogically hilarious…
I'm at ep 18 now and the scene of the attempted murder of the wife aka the biological mother of DYX on the boat is humorous in the way that no one can think of but the writers of this drama (on that little small boat, how can you don't know there is another girl will jump in the river to save your victim???)
