Interesting story but also kind of meeh

This was an interesting window in to 1970s China, with a decent cast and on oaky story. However something was missing to keep my peak interest, some parts felt off and there is definitely a lot of propaganda and moral teaching in this a bit of a karma will get you in the end. Do right by the party (but not to much) and life was hard back then feel to it.

The male lead is a bit to impulsive for my tase, devoting and sweet yes but I just couldn't fully connect with him. The female leas is pretty cool and so is the male leads sister and husband. The fathers are adorable but the rest had me wondering about impuls control and thinking some bad thoughts here and there.

What keeps this from getting a higher score is also that it was a bit draggy and I found myself loosing more and more intrest as the episodes passed by...
