GLORY TO WHOEVER CONTRIBUTED TO BRINGING THIS DRAMA TO LIFE.

I'm writing this review with tears streaming down my face, watching the last episode of this absolute masterpiece of a drama. I haven’t felt this overwhelmingly emotional about a story in a very long time.
This drama deserves an award in every category imaginable. The storytelling, the deeper meanings and wisdom woven into every scene and every line... To experience a person’s life so intimately through a screen is something I never thought was possible.
The writing, directing, acting, editing, and production were all top-notch. I wanted to keep my reviews spoiler-free and talk about the bigger picture, about what makes a serie worth watching. But with this one, all I want to do is pour out the sorrow I feel now that it has come to an end.
For me, at least, there won’t be a competitor to this one for a long while.
Against the Current.
A story about a woman who went against the currents of her time, and a lamp that illuminated the lives of those around her. A story of her first steps beyond the boundaries of her family after a great catastrophe, of her navigating the ravines of life with courage, intelligence, and perseverance.
A story of resilience and strength, and a story that will resonate with women everywhere.
The story of Shen Jialan and Xu Lanxiang.
