Thank you for a well thought and beautifully expressed article, Wiam. You did a great job of showing the complexity of Sigma without giving away big spoilers. To me, he is a tragic character in that his actions are fueled by the need to be accepted and maybe even loved, and yet - when he cannot get the love and attention he desired, so he adapts a sort of "to hell with you attitude" - I'll show you. He is caught in a circle of Catch 22.
BTW, I always liked Kim Byung-Chul, and I also especially loved him in the character just prior to this one - in "Pegasus Market." I thought it was so hilarious
This really saw a theatrical release here in America?? Wow! I'm guessing only the biggest of markets Los Angeles,…
oh, I remember you telling my about Romance of Our Parents, a few days before Netflix rudely removed it, and other Chinese shows without prior notice. I was watching All Quiet in Peking at the time, and got to ep. 45/53 before Netflix removed them. Now, Netflix no longer let us know of any removals ahead of time. Just google what is coming off Netflix. I am not finding Romance of Our Parents anywhere. Please, do tell me if you find it anywhere, too. Did you know there were actually 2 Seasons of it? https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/fu-mu-ai-qing
I have loved Youth so much, that I have watched it several times. First couple of times at the theater (San Francisco), and a few times online. I like this Director - Feng Xiao Gang ever since watching his films "Aftershock" . He also had a fun movie "If You are the One." Sadly it is not easy to come by anymore. Only part 2 is more available, but useless without part 1, which was also a lot better IMO.
I have added Reply 1988 to my watch list, based on your recommendation.

I fell in love with Liu Ye in "Beautiful Life" with Shu Qi. It is also on Netflix.
