So many plot holes!
I wanted this to be better! It started out good but it seemed like the producers were working with a script that was missing pages.There wasn't very good chemistry between the actors, which was a shame, because I think both were talented; I just never got the vibe they clicked with each other.
That said, it was beautiful scenery! The setting was gorgeous and I would love to visit if I could.
I would like to see more LGBTQ productions with settings like the Steppes, possibly among the Uhgyurs or other ethnic groups in China, because each group has unique norms regarding sexual orientation.
This is the first BL I have ever given a rating under a 7.

had the potential to be so much more!
this has to be one of the most beautiful locations and cinematographies I've ever seen in any drama!unfortunately, the plot felt pretty disappointing. it felt very rushed and disconnected. we know very little about the character, so it's hard to feel connected to them. i really wish they made it clear how much time has passed so that we could actually understand how they fell in love. it felt like they met each other one day, and the next day they were somehow head over heels in love. the "conflict" felt pretty nonsense to me.
the actors did a pretty good job, despite the limited scope. both of them are very good looking. especially Wang Chen Rui, he is so damn handsome😩 and such a good actor too! i would love to see him in full length BLs!
the only reason why I'm not giving this a lower rating is, considering the duration of this entire show is less than an hour, overall it was still enjoyable for me because of the cinematography and the actors!

Gostei da sensação que o drama me trouxe ao finalizá-lo...
Iniciei Awakening the Steppe sem esperar muita coisa, só porque estava cansada de assistir dramas verticais chineses, então dei uma espiada no Telegram e lá estava a mensagem que os dois últimos episódios tinham sido lançados e pelo pôster dei o play.Confesso que foi difícil me conectar com os personagens porque parecia que entre um episódio e outro faltava algo, talvez tempo, talvez uma linha do tempo um pouco mais clara, ou não, talvez essa mesmo seja a sensação que a história quer passar. Afinal de contas pelos diálogos entre os personagens, principalmente na barraca, mostra que o acaso pode não ser um acaso, pode ser o ponto central de tudo aquilo, uma pequena coisa conectando a outra.
Além disso, há cenas onde a atuação não é tão convincente e a coreografia entre os personagens parece mais uma performance do que, de fato, real.
O que o BL peca em incerteza, nos resta interpretações, assim como o cenário principal de todo o drama nos remete a paz, leveza e vida plena, onde os sonhos podem ser realizados, só sei que no final eu chorei.
Ou simplesmente pode ser tudo uma viagem da minha cabeça, mas realmente gostei da sensação que o drama me trouxe ao finalizá-lo, definitivamente não foi o acaso eu ter dado play hoje, segundos depois de admirar o pôr do sol colorindo o céu com os eucaliptos ao fundo do meu quintal.
