allegedly she is a 2006er which makes her only 19 years old, while the other ladies are all late 20s and early 30s - that's what's super sus about it like why would the PDs even let someone so young on the show???

this was such a difficult yet important watch - it reminds me of the netflix mini drama Maid; it's not as easy as we think to leave an abuser, especially when you consider the Chinese/Asian values of being filial, patriarchal Confucius values of being male-family oriented, and sacrificing ourselves for our kids even if we end up losing our sanity etc. The way it's shot was so realistic, almost like a docu-series

RIWON AND SEOYEON OMG

yes they are all interested in women and their occupations vary from influencer to tattoo artist, media producer, nurse etc

bilibili

EVERYONE IS SO CUTE IM DYING finally i dont need to watch pretty girlies fight over ugly m*n

i watched it on a chinese platform and the chinese netizens were commenting tht they spoke in sichuan accent so likely somewhere in the mountainous sichuan region - chongqing? so interesting

loving the cinematography and acting! does anyone know which city in china it's set in - northeastern china?

cast looks stacked and i love that it's another short crime thriller at 13 eps! cant go wrong w qin hao and crime dramas. i hope it starts and finishes strong

yes yes, i love SHE AND HER GIRLS! another amazing story of hope, compassion, and women supporting women. thank you for your comment!

lmao the men mad in the comments can stay mad, this is the highest rated movie of 2024 on douban in china and received critical acclaim. props to the director/writer and cast for such a witty, refreshing and fun take on modern feminism!

this is an incredible list and im sure a lot of thought was put into it - tysm from a historical buff!!!

LIU DIAO RUI JIEJIE LKJFD;JF

try wetv! lolol there's no romance bc thats not what the story is about LOL; it focuses on education as a key to young womens future (esp impoverished girls from the country side), social issues like sexism, s*xual harassement, domestic violence etc. it's not graphic and only touches on the last 2 briefly but it goes to show that this drama highlights very real issues that face not just china but women everywhere

absolutely amazing and the best cdrama all year PERIOD

rose up to 9.1 on douban! i dont think any other cdrama will top it this year. totally deserved!!!

lan xi ya blew me AWAY in this drama! her expression, the way she acts with her eyes... what a talent. i agree that scene made me angry af and it's a sad reality tht happens all too common irl :( stupid police. hahaha teacher zhang has such a soft spot for her favourite bb

this is one of the best dramas i've seen in the last 5 years among cdramas, and the best this year. you can tell the production team, cast, crew etc absolutely put in 100% efforts to portray zhang gui mei's irl story, as well as the stories of the girls in the high school. just riveting, inspiring, and beautiful all around and does a wonderful job exploring themes like gender inequality, economic inequality, pedagogy, the value of an education, etc.. it makes me want to be a teacher tbh !!!

can i watch s2 without s1 yall? i kinda wanna start this

this is one of the most depressing, psychologically suffocating and emotionally numbing films i've watched. but wow what an experience, it's like depression but in cinematic motion
