Cinematically gorgeous and a heartwarming story

Nothing much happens in this drama but it is so engaging and lovely to look at that you really don't mind.

It is a simple story well told. The depictions of nomad Kazakh life set 20+ years ago are obviously appealing to jaded viewers like me, fed up with typical recycled C-dramas. There is a slight discomfort about the political implications of Chinese incursions into this region but it doesn't detract from the strong performances, beautiful scenery, and hankering for a simpler life based around community and tradition.

Let's face it, these sorts of dramas are bound to appeal to city dwellers like me. If I were actually transplanted there I would no doubt find it uncomfortable and unpleasant but on screen it looks inviting even despite the hardship.

The cast is great, the budding romance and first love theme is touching and the ending entirely fitting.
