A window to the China the world does not much know about
I have just completed one episode and I could not resist expressing how lovely the show is. It is cinematic in its treatment, the cinematography, natural acting, stunning visuals...I am so looking forward to watching the remaining episodes.This is a China and people the world does not know much about beyond the news about unrest that trickles out to the world.
I had to pause at several places to start reading about Xinjiang, about Altay, about the Uyghur language and in just one episode the show is opening a window to China that outsiders like me barely know about.
I am hoping that as episodes pass by I can give higher scores to the story and overall to the show.

Wallace Huo is handsome!
I saw Wallace Huo on the poster and decided to click and watch it.I don't know how this show will pan out--Chinese shows seem to have more budget now than before and in ep 1 the show gives off a glossy tint--with everything shiny sparkly (like the netflix shows we get to see nowadays)
I am not sure about the FL, haven't watched her before.
But at 45 the ML looks as smouldering as he was the first time I saw his show--as Bo Jin Yan.
The show was funny in ep 1 and I was laughing out loud at several places.
the only thing that keeps nagging me at the back of my mind (after ep1) is the kind of eccentricity they're showing ML has--at moments he doesn't look eccentric he looks a wierdo.
anyway, let's hope the show doesn't disappoint as a lot of modern c-dramas have in recent times.
