A C-Fan’s POV : "At noon, I watched the trailer for The Story Of Pearl Girl. During lunch, I discussed it with my friends. Duan Wu lives a very miserable and difficult life, but I was worried that people might say that a "great female protagonist" drama is all about deliberately tormenting women, creating a tragic background to evoke sympathy.
My friend's reply hit the nail on the head: Isn't this the reality of women's situations though? Not just in the present, but historically, it was even worse. In male-oriented dramas, the male lead gets all kinds of opportunities and support from various people—family, friends, mentors, and confidants—without anyone questioning if it's a "great male protagonist" story.
In contrast, if a female protagonist receives any help from a male character, the core and essence of the drama are questioned. This itself is a form of female plight.
I had an epiphany: Duan Wu is like cattail grass, her fate drifting with the wind, but she is also like gravel, hard and clear-minded. Every character in The Story of Pearl Girl endures suffering; it is a drama filled with trials and tribulations.
That’s the general plot, she needs to embark her journey to become a very successful businesswoman by herself and reborn as su mu zhe, then will reunite with ML again.. i mean it’s literally chinese drama pattern 😅😅
Live broadcast: "We're very grateful towards everybody. I think as long as we do our best for everything, we won't leave any regrets behind. This was what the actors have constantly been saying while we were filming #TheStoryOfPearlGirl
As long as we feel that we didn't leave any regrets during the Filming, we wouldn't feel regretful at all.
That's why we don't wish to leave any regrets at all. Personally, we don't want to feel that we haven't done our best or worked hard.

So, let's look forward to Duan Wu/Su MuZhe transforming into a pearl, attaining true freedom."

We didn't want to leave any regrets for this drama but we are already very thankful towards everyone! Thank you!"
