These two episodes were really good. Bai Chun just made an enemy out of me. He knows what they're doing is wrong,…
For me, Bai Chun is in a kind of denial. As for what he said to Shao Fei, I think he represents ordinary people who, without education or awareness, don’t really understand the true meaning of the danger. Although he knows something is off, he genuinely believes they’re blowing things out of proportion because they’re educated or environmental freaks, and that they’re jeopardizing his job and the way of life he worked so hard to build.
Personal things aside, the Mountain Patrol members were always clear about their beliefs priorities. I also understand Mayor Lin, I think he represents a mindset from that era where development was for real a top priority for the country and its people - China wasn´t at the same level that the West or even countries in Latam. It´s not that he (and those who represents) is bad or doesn´t care as the real bad guys, it´s the dilemma of balancing development and environment protection that was always there, and is still to these days.
I'm fear for this part of the drama. The first one was a masterpiece, but the abrupt change of pace, focus and…
Yeah, I was thinking the same earlier. If they´ve ended with his "dissapearance" and then closed the story with a final episode updating the facts till the present, the drama would´ve remained as an unforgetable masterpiece from start to finish. But now, we already have a bunch of episodes that impact the overall quality. I´m praying for the show to get back on track soon.
Four episodes into this second arc, and I don't know what the main focus is. The first arc was quite clear: saving…
I'm fear for this part of the drama. The first one was a masterpiece, but the abrupt change of pace, focus and setting -although fitting and emotionally resembling the sad and cruel ending of that part of the story - make me unease. I want this drama to keep the mastery it had till end of the Mountain Patrol arc
Well these two episodes were more depressing than the last. Duo Jie was the heart of this show.
Yeah, I was fearing that might be happening, and still we have 14 eps to the end. The change of setting and vibe really impacted - not for the best imo - in what otherwise was till now a steady solid mastespiece. I hope we´ll get back in track and in the mountain setting assap.
I didn't expect the Mountain Patrol era to end so early. We still have 14 episodes left but without the og team…
Same. The charm of the drama lies in the landscape, and it feels a too abrupt change of pace and vibe that - in my experience - lower the quality a bit. I hope the former setting returns quickly.
There were a lot of text in ep 26 but subtitles didn't translate that for me. If someone who is fluent in chinese…
The members of patrol team were imprisoned for between 2 and three years, and Bai Ju received a warning from the Party. The years that appeared later refer to the ones where natural reserves were created in the area.
yes. it’s very good. deserve a much higher rating.
Yeah, one of those rare dramas that gets better with every episode and keeps that quality all the way to the end. I usually don’t rewatch dramas, but I’ll definitely be revisiting this one.
The uplifting and touching OST keeps repeating in my mind, especially the opening and ending credits, plus a special theme and a scene in the second half. 😊
It also has already started airing on CCTV-1, and will get a second run on its original channel, CCTV-8, in a few days.
Really well written review! Im Mahayana school, but the basics remains. Agree with the storytelling and pacing, and some directing/editing decisión cater to new douyin audiences that reduced the dramatic impact for some scenes, but the flaws were minor compared to meanings this drama brough. I found episodres 1-2, 31-32 and 39-40 the pillar points of the story: the beginning, the turning point, the realization and ending. For me he reached englightment, and as so, he isn´t attached to timelines, spaces or óther constrictions. He´s an awaken one, and that´s why he can still exits in this new world (but I like that the drama only implies it ; it gives room for viewers to reflect but also to choose their conclusion without estrictly corseted to Buddhism.
A detailed analysis! It's a shame the first review was accidentally deleted🥺, but this new review with a Buddhist…
Thank you for your words! I tried to write an extra review adding the erased one but the platform didn't allow me. So I decided to keep this one as it's the core of the story.
For western viewers with secular or Judeo-Christian mindset and without any phylosophy background or knowledge, the show is really difficult to grasp completely.
Add pay attention to everything, having to read translations that aren't always accurate and don't be able to understand the lyrics playing in the sequences that might have help as act as complementary information, all leave to only really on the surface level of things or a more intuitive and open disposition.
Liu Yan tried to k!ll him, put his body in a well. Tang Lici was found by minister’s daughter. Her father adopted…
They did tell this in the drama; during the second part, don´t remeber which ep but they did. I didn´t read the novel nor new the story, the drama was my only source. The problem is the drama has so many things happens in the surface and in the back, that it´s easy to loose track - plus subs
