around ep 24 this gets pretty tiresome with the constant twists and threats to the mains. too few peaceful moments. imo. 10 eps shorter would have been better (am currently at ep 29, watching from Viki, glad there's a 4 day break before the next ep drops).
I've seen the French original, hence I know how it ends, which leaves no interest to watch. I gave it a try, it's been too long since JDY's last drama. He's very good again, in this. But this isn't really anything very special. Typical murder investigation drama. I'm sure it will be watchable for those who have not seen the original. But if you'd happen be looking for something of higher quality, more touching and more original, most of the Chinese Light On series crime dramas are eons better, imo.
Really a hidden gem. High quality throughout. This turned out to be so much more than a whodunnit murder investigation. The twists and turns are awesome. Sad but beautiful. I cried during the last 4 episodes. Not because it was depressing, but because of how genuinely good hearted people can turn around the fate of abused and neglected children. There's redemption in the end. Highly recommend. The OST of the year (hope they publish it).
Another fascinating quality Light On drama. Reminds me a bit of Interlaced Scenes which I liked a lot. Does anyone know what is the song that plays during end credits? It's so unusual!
I didn't expect this to be so good, it really took me by surprise by its depth and charm. I got gradually more invested as this proceeded. I especially liked Zhai Xiao Wen's acting in this, he had a thousand different expressions. Can't wait to see what he does next.
The Golden Triangle of youth and family dramas for me so far: Northward, Wind Direction, Always Home. Emotionally intelligent, warm and meaningful, totally worth my time. I particularly like it when the whole family and relationships between families are as important in the drama as the youthful romancing. Although the closeness between Chen Huan Er and Jing Xi Chi here is so much more than a simply a romance, this kind of closeness was unexpected and something I have not seen before.
WDBTD is not among to 20 most popular for 2025.
This Thriving Land most popular, then Double Track Puzzle, then Footprints of Change.
If someone is interested in what the chinese domestic TV audience values, these are an entirely different genre.

Wanted to watch to support Yoo Ah In.
