Just finished the first story arc (episodes 1-4) on iQiyi. Some thoughts:The good:1. Solid story. A few plot holes…
If you want a Chinese suspense drama set outside of China where the actors use 'foreign' accents, try Original Sin. It's set in a 'fictional country' but everyone knows it's either Singapore or Malaysia.
And yeah, I thought I was the only one who noticed these beads were just lame :D I've seen worse stuff ofc but I still giggled when they appeared on my screen.
A word of clarification: not all NK movies and dramas are filled with propaganda.
I never said it's because of propaganda (I don't mind propaganda movies). I don't know much about North Korea and I don't think I'll be able to enjoy watching NK productions without proper research.
Seonsaeng wrote an article about North Korea? What a surprise:D Great read but I'm not sure if I'll ever watch anything made in NK... not sure if I even want to.
Earthquake featured in this drama was based on real Beichuan Earthquake that hit Sichuan Province in 2008 (almost 100 000 people lost their lives, and 80% buildings in the area were destroyed, including schools and hospitals). Using real tragedy as romcom cliche? Not cool, drama writers, not cool.
