At the heart of Flower Street: People
Growing up alongside the Flower Street kids and witnessing life’s hardships through their parents’ eyes, while the children remained so unaware of how difficult life could be, was such a beautiful and moving journey.
Every single character is so vivid; they act and feel so real it’s almost unsettling. The entire cast did a wonderful job.
Northward brings to the screen the happiness, sorrow, struggles, and love of ordinary people. We are not perfect, and neither are any of the characters here.
The canal is an essential part of their childhood and teenage years, while Beijing’s chaos and skyscrapers become the backdrop of their adult days.
Northward isn’t always pleasant to watch, especially when it comes to our main lead, Xie Wanghe. Seeing him pursue his dreams while slowly losing his humanity is infuriating at times, but still painfully real.
Amid our desire to succeed at all costs, we inevitably lose a part of ourselves along the way.
An excellent drama, worthy of so many more words — and still, none would ever be enough.
