Worth the Wait
Zhao Lusi is a talented and beautiful actress -her acting skills are at a different level - very expressive and committed to the storyline. ML and FL make a nice-looking couple. Both portray their roles very well and appear to a good pairing. They can act silly together and also have serious conversations. Costumes are beautiful, cinematography is magical, and music matches perfectly with the story. I have already watched the first 6 episodes multiple times. Can’t wait for more episodes to be released. Very entertaining- highly recommend!Update: Finished watching… and other than wishing there were more episodes to expand on the ending a bit more, I stand by my original review. Bravo to the cast, costume designers, and cinematographers!

Entertaining
I finally had a chance to watch this and was not disappointed. I liked the overarching storyline but admittedly had to rewind periodically to understand who some of the new characters and subplots inserted throughout the first half of the series were. But what kept me watching was the entertaining dynamics of the bond/friendship development and humorous interactions of the 3 main characters Xiao Se, Wu Xin, and Lei Wu Jie. I also enjoyed the fact that the female characters were also powerful fighters. Almost every episode was action filled. The love connection between Xiao Se and the female love interest wasn’t very strong. The music matched well with the scenes - there’s a a couple in particular that I really like. Perfect casting of the 3 main ML’s: Li Hong Yi’s calm, cool and elegant demeanor, Ao Rui Peng’s silly, naive, and high-energy, and Liu Xue Yi’s serious and domineering presence.Overall - very entertaining and will be on my rewatch list.

A Must Watch…
The Story of Pearl Girl is a must watch…a well developed storyline, amazing acting, beautiful cinematography, excellent cast, and overall, top notch production.Initially, I wasn’t sure what to expect with the plot. But after watching the first few episodes, the series is much more than I imagined and now I’m hooked. I’m half way through the series and am so glad they were approved for the 40 episodes - allows for a well developed storyline.
Zhao Lusi is an amazing actress. I have enjoyed watching her in other dramas , but her skills in this one is next level. Her ability to tell the story of her struggles and resilience through all her different emotions is incredible. The underwater scenes with her diving for pearls is exquisite. Liu Yuning’s acting as the ML is also impressive. His imposing stature and strong overall presence make him suitable for the role. The chemistry between the two leads is overflowing. They are very comfortable acting with each other. The cast are all great actors.
The cinematography from the underwater images to the desert scenes are mesmerizing. The costumes are captivating. The OST beautifully matches to the production. This series has been top tier so far…
I’m looking forward to the 2nd half of the series…
