A realistic take on life, poverty and relationships.
The complexity of the story and the characters can sometimes be too much for some people, but I found it amazing and compelling.
Through the 26 episodes we met Dai Daji and Zhou Shui, but do we really know them?
I’d say it’s the same as knowing people for a long time, we may know a lot about them, but what really makes them take some decision or act a certain way, we’ll never know.
Their relationship is raw, at times toxic, but they’re two flawed people trying to make it work through poverty while relying on their dreams and love in a promising city, Beijing. China’s capital plays a major role here.
I wouldn’t say it’s exactly beautiful because it isn’t. It’s so real it makes you wonder which of your decisions would’ve lead you somewhere else. Somewhere the life you planned and believed it was possible while you were young would have really happened.
