Unimaginable twist and turns
This was the best chinese drama which i had watched recently.The music ,storyline everything was perfect and heartwrenching . I literally liked the ost . And the graphics was also really awesome. The best thing which i had liked about this drama is the way that female lead gives order and bosses around the male lead ???? . Chemistry between the leads was very warming.????❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ In this drama the main part which really had attracted me was the female lead character which was very story as in most of the chinese drama the female leads were very childish and immature they always used to clinge me .Was this review helpful to you?
An amazing new storyline. A must see for all. Top 10 of 2021
If you read the details it's wrong, some part are ok but with different characters. I binged watch this drama in 3.5days.and I'm sorry to see it end. For me this is definitely a different type of storyline that has so many type of mixed views and emotions. The cast lineup is Amazing and they are doing a great job also the crew in clothing styles were 10+, the set and locations 10+, special effects 10+++, and music 10+. Overall this is a 10+++++.It start as a girl born as a 5yo mutated rattan(branches of tree) named Si feng she was part of the alien group Yifan who have powers of nature, but was raised and torture by a Qiu shan who later will kill her. This story begins back in the 1900 when Shao Yan Kuan falls in love sifeng, but she doesn't like him back and has an internal fight with herself and splits into two with bai ling the other half who in love with Shao yan Kuan. While bai Ling suffer at him calling her sifeng she decides to murder her sister and then tells Qin laifu to bury her sister in Dana and relocate and watch over the body for next 8 decades. What happens next is over a 9yr span. Bai Ling marry him and tells him to call her bai Ling and he says OK and he agrees to marry her only. A few years later he takes in another wife and he tell her that she not the same sifeng he loved and so she snaps and murders his wife on the wedding day and he call her a monster and locks her up. During a stressful time gets pregnant and he starts to act funny so she follows him and finds out that he is working with Qiu shan and making a plan to kill her and baby. So she starts to lose it and makes plan/map for her sister and herself where the body/bones are. Just after she gives birth they are burning her and she tells them they'll be back for revenge. So many other are happening I can't write them all(lol). Now 2020 and some are alive and some dead the Qin family followed and now it's Qin Fang's turn to go to Dana. He goes there with a friend and starts to look for this person, but at the same time the girl with him Anman is a fraud she with him for money and looking for the 8 corner blue ball or something when he ex Qui shen shows up she drugs Qin fang and goes to see ex who attacks her for spending his money then she accidentally stabs him. She runs and gets Qin fang into truck and is now chased by the 2goons of her ex. They cause an accident and take her hostage and sends truck down the mountain where he gets impaled on the tree trunk and his blood mixing with a green substance going into the ground. Then all of a sudden the tree vines are spinning and a beautiful girl starts to appears and he get tossed off and healed and she appears as Sifeng and trys to make him her servent. Now we get into all the good and bad struggles for right and wrong, love, jeousley or hate and great adventure. There are 2 different endings both are good in there own way.
Enjoy

It's good but after rewatching...
I want to start of with that I would have originally given it a 9 as there are some awkward moments in the show but overall a very good show, however I rewatched part of it with my mom and things just started to not make sense.1. Si Teng and Qin Fang went back to visit An Man before she died, they spend 1 day traveling there, 1 day there, and another day to travel back to the village, for a total of 3 days. That means for the 1 day they spent there, An Man died, got a grave stone and held a "funeral" for her all in 1 day.
2. Si Teng absorbed Chisan's power and not once besides healing Qin Fang did she use Chisan's power or anyones' power she absorbed besides her own.
3. Throughout the show they tried to hint that Bai Jin is smarter and stronger than the rest of the Xuan sect, but nothing was known about him besides us knowing that he is slightly stronger, his part in the show is so awkward that I wonder what was the point to his character, only to find out he's also the director, ahh so he just wanted himself in the show...
4. I watched the ending with the 30 episodes, cause I don't like sad endings, we were introduced to 2 new characters that we're suppose to just know, perhaps I would have known more if I watched the other ending. Si Teng is the foster/adopted daughter of one of the new character and she came back early (to human form) to tell Qin Fang that she loves him, but because she came early she's dying soon because she can't fully heal, so Qin Fang gives her his power that he got from Bai Ying, umm Si Teng maybe don't come back cause one you would have to die.
5. The happy ending made absolutely no sense, from the 4th, Qin Fang gives Si Teng his power, so he is suppose to die except he didn't cause main character plot armor nothing else, sure it took ~20 years but Si Teng is almost immortal and Qin Fang didn't age a day, so they could still spend time together.
6. The weirdest thing is when Qin Fang was hanging out with the kid Si Teng, who is now named Xi Xi. We were given the imagery of him hanging out/flirting with the adult Si Teng but the entire time Si Teng was still in the kid form, her being an adult is an imagery of what would have happen if Si Teng was an adult but she wasn't. So the entire time, he was creeping on a kid, Really gross, just because she's like an immortal doesn't make it any less weird. and why couldn't Si Teng come back as an adult version to tell Qin Fang that she loves him?
7. Qin Fang really falls in love fast huh? First Chen Wan, then An Man, but still having Chen Wan's photo, and then Si Teng while knowing something bad might have happen to An Man, this guy, I swear if he didn't have main character plot armor, he would been scammed out of all his money and belonging, falls in love fast and fast to hand out money. Really wished there was someone like Qin Fang near me, I would have live as a gold digger and not even because I wanted to but because her would have just offered.
The music is disturbingly bad, you know when somethings about to happen cause they played the same song every time, and anything slightly lovey-dovey coming cause it's another same song throughout the entirety of the show.
The wardrobes were amazing, especially Si Teng. Most of scenes were gorgeous and few were obviously CGI. DON'T rewatch. I did and now hate the show, 7 might be too high in my mind after writing this review.

Entertaining drama but do not expect much to make sense
An entertaining enough drama. If nothing else , it provides breathtaking scenery. Beautiful cinematography, but hole filled plot. Expect to leave this drama with more questions than are answered. It lacks cohesiveness, direction and oftentimes logic.To get through this drama, I came to the realization that I had to abandon all efforts of trying to follow the plot because it became clear that there was no true plot, and too many story lines which do not fully conclude or resolve in a clear or satisfactory manner.
Nonetheless, the actors portrayed their parts convincingly, especially the child actors. Top notch acting.

good drama but wants alot patience
__*Rattan (2021)*__ - 8/10 cdramavery nice and good drama, but with :very steep learning curve:[probably used it wrong way].
I mean whole drama got 30 eps and for me first 20 eps was like hell of boredom, aside of few nice scenes I was totally uninterested in that bring out mystery thing.
At other hand last 10-11 eps made up for it, but cant score it higher cause 2/3 of whole drama was hell.
__*plot*__ - FL is some kind of mutant between aliens DNA and rattan. She managed to look and live as human.At other hand between humans existed clans hunting these aliens. In 1939 she was killed and buried in woods. One day ML now in year 2020 ended up in car accident and made bloody mess on her grave. His blood managed to revive FL and :connect: FL and ML into kinda symbiotic relationship. FL wants find out how she died and what happened to her killer. Meanwhile ML becomes kinda buttler for Fl since he can leave far from her.
__*genre*__ - fantasy, romance, mystery

A drama "light"
The premise seemed pretty good, the trailer as well so I started watching on the YoYo channel on YouTube. The first episode was really good, 2nd one as well. Gorgeous scenery, looks like Yunnan or Tibet but then it went down. There is really no one to root for, no cliff hanger at the end of the episodes, nothing that would make you wonder what is going to happen to this or that person. Nothing. There is really no tension, nothing that did prevent me to get sleepy when I watched the 6th episode. Almost insipid. I guess I will go back to the historical fantasy dramas, at least there is some action, twists and a good portion backstabbing. What drama should be.Was this review helpful to you?

Une histoire qui débutait bien mais qui a fini par me laisser sans voix…
« Rattan » est un drama que je souhaitais voir depuis un petit moment mais que j’avais laissé sur le côté pour x raisons… J’ai néanmoins fini par me lancer & je dois avouer avoir passé un moment agréable (du moins, durant les 20 premiers épisodes x’D).Rattan est une histoire fantastique avec comme fil conducteur la découverte de la vie de « Si Teng » & de « Qin Fang ». Nous découvrons avec eux, leurs passés sur plusieurs générations ainsi que cette guerre qui a fait rage entre les humains & les « Plantes-hybrides ».
Si Teng est un personnage assez complexe qui dit souvent l’inverse de ce qu’elle pense… Elle tente tant bien que mal d’exister en tant qu’entité à part entière mais cela se révèle assez compliqué… Elle partage une histoire d’amour avec Qin Fang mais elle aussi n’est pas aussi simple que prévue…
Concernant les autres personnages de l’histoire, nous pouvons dire qu’ils ont tous leurs importances & permettent à l’histoire de se développer jusqu’à son dénouement final…
Nous pouvons cependant relever plusieurs incohérences (vous me direz avec 30 épisodes de 45min, c’était inévitable x’D).
► S’il était si facile d’en finir avec le combat de Si Teng, Bai Ying & Qin Shan, pourquoi le laisser se dérouler sur une si longue période ?!
► Pourquoi Qin Fang, étant un descendant du grand arbre, ne possède pas de pouvoir ?
► Comment Si Teng a pu se faire muter elle-même ?
► …
Vous l’aurez compris, j’ai apprécié la quête de l’histoire & découvrir ce nouveau monde… Néanmoins, j’ai nettement moins apprécié la fin (Je n’ai vu que la première fin & non l’alternative) qui me laisse un goût amer…

UMA GRATA SURPRESA
Rattan se não foi um drama perfeito, chegou muito perto. A combinação de um roteiro bem escrito, uma produção excelente e um grupo de personagens carismáticos fez de Rattan um dos melhores dramas chineses desse primeiro semestre de 2021.O enredo é cheio de mistério e detalhes minuciosamente colocados na trama para servir de elo para as outros arcos da história. Vou fazer uma comparação meio fora do eixo mas, encaro o enredo desse drama como os enredos da Marvel, onde cada elemento que a princípio podem parecer triviais agregam na história geral os quais nos levam a inúmeras teorias que vamos descobrindo estarem certas ou erradas enquanto assistimos.
Minha nota para o enredo só não é 10 porque para mim, senti que uma ou duas pontas ficaram soltas, abrindo margem para teorias e achismos.
A acertada escolha de números de episódios foi um elemento chave. Nem demais, nem de menos. 30 episódios muito bem estruturados que contam uma história com começo, meio e fim. A direção ainda nos deu um mimo que é o episódio especial.
A produção faz jus ao orçamento - que, acredito eu, não foi baixo - porque converteu-se em uma fotografia estonteante, com belíssimos cenários, figurinos, trilha sonora e um CGI excelente, muito acima dos padrões dos utilizados em outros dramas chineses.
O elenco é sensacional. Jing Tian calou a boca da crítica entregando uma protagonista de atitude, confiante e profunda. A atuação de Jing Tian nesse drama deu a Si Teng status de ícone, porque a atriz encontrou a dosagem perfeita para criar uma personagem memorável que parece tal qual é a Bai Qian em Eternal Love.
Binbin está como sempre: entregando tudo o que se propôs. Nada a dizer sobre sua atuação além do fato de que ele vem crescendo a cada papel. Se Qin Fang é corajoso, emotivo, apaixonado, debochado e determinado. E a dupla feita por BinbinTian é um dos pontos fortes desse drama. Uma aposta que poderia ser arriscada visto que o drama não possui um casal secundário, mas a química entre os protagonistas foi tão forte e tão convincente que o romance - apesar de não ser o foco - acabou se tornando ainda mais gostoso de acompanhar. Realmente espero ver essa dupla explosiva em outros dramas.
Outros personagens memoráveis como Wafang e Yan Furui foram o sopro de ar fresco nesse drama que muitas vezes era tenso.
A trilha sonora desse drama é de longe a mais linda que eu já vi em drama chinês. Antes era a de Eternal Love, mas Rattan tem uma OST que conversa com cada momento da trama e contam sozinhas as fases da jornada da heroína. Excelente.
O drama conta uma história de busca por identidade, por felicidade e por amor. A história é excelente e eu amei cada episódio.
Recomendo muitíssimo para todos os fãs de fantasia, romance e mistério. Eu com toda certeza voltarei para assistir uma segunda vez.

Y si nosotros creamos el final?
Para empezar. Aclaro que el último capítulo es un epílogo, otro final, aviso por qué yo no lo supe y me confundió mucho.Esta historia es muy linda, realmente ha sido muy interesante seguirla, hay muchos detalles que entremezclan todo, hay que estar muy atento para no perderse nada.
Lo más importante de estar atento es los personajes principales y como se van desarmo en la trama, como maduran y se hacen más empaticos el uno con el otro, es una belleza esta relación.
Mi puntuación bajo, por el final, una historia compleja, interesante, con una belleza de locaciones, todo parecía perfecto, pero los últimos capítulos donde ya los protagonistas habían madurado, ya sabían lo que querían, tenían claro el amor uno por el otro. Empezaron a poner complicaciones en la trama que se noto que era muy rebuscada y sin sentido tanto que tuvieron que hacer dos finales.
Que decepcion darte cuenta que los guionistas no supieron resolver. Y las dos propuestas quedaron incompletas, con muchos hilos sueltos. Por a razón no pude evaluarlo mejor.
Véanlo ustedes y me comentan si estoy muy equivocada, saludos y gracias por leerme.
