After finishing all 12 episodes i understand why it called homesick. Like it's not Chen Youxi missed or longs for a home, it's more like she's sick with everyone in that house. Also the chine title huilaidenuer returns of daughter, like it kinda indicate the daughter is somewhat a problem
when i saw the word Harbin all i can think is the city. Harbin is in northern part of China, bordering with Russia 😂 they're also known as little russia. winter sports are very popular in this area. the even specialized in a winter/snow/ice festivals.
so when i read this i was like "why would a Korean (esp southie) play a movie about an area in China?"
even though 4 of them are police. but it seems their struggle, dilemma, ambition and expectation at the workplace is somewhat relatable to young workers. sometimes young workers esp fresh graduate can be seen rigid to textbook-ish, too idealistic, too naive etc.
i love this drama so much bc i had no expectation when i watched it and i thought it'll be like the cliche trope in crime drama where someone wants to avenge the death of their loved one, joined the police force and apparently the case was unsolved for yearssss. But this drama is soooooooo well made, each case is felt so human, like shen yi to humanize all the criminals. also i'm so obsesed with Du Cheng and Shen Yi bromance
I only learn more about north korea after i watched this drama. Before knowing how's ordinary life of north korean really is, I'm okay with this drama, but after knowing i begin meh with this drama and, i know it's a south korean drama and i should expect some soft propaganda in here. Rewatching this again made me mad fr
i wish one day chinese movie would just let the people speak their dialect
