Heartwarming Drama

This drama tells the story of 5 children who are friends and live in a hutong alley (next to the red wall/palace).

+ This drama is the first Chinese drama with the theme of reconstructing historical objects such as paintings, traditional clothes, antique clocks, etc. The two main characters will work in the field of tourism and history (this is my favorite part because there are rarely dramas that discuss this)

+ If you came here for a passionate romance, this drama is not the place. But if you need a daily life drama with a slow pace, this drama is the right choice.

+ I will tell you a drama that is similar to this drama so that you don't have wrong expectations. This drama is similar to the drama: - Go Ahead - Reply 1988

- This is a period drama, starting from their teenage years in the 90s, it is a drama of family, friendship, reality, life, dreams and love. This drama even highlights cases of outbreaks in the late 90s such as the corona outbreak, they wore masks and closed themselves off from the outside world.

- Their teenage stories are filled with reality scenes that teenagers often do, such as truancy, makeup, hiding exam results and problems with views between a mother and child.

- I really like how this drama depicts our daily lives as middle teenagers and the inner conflicts between parents and children.

- The parents' stories are presented so sweetly and touchingly, this is my favorite. With this drama I can understand how parents think and the things they worry about as well as their words which sometimes we (children) think are hurtful but are actually for our good.

- Apart from the warm story, this drama OST is very warm, very suitable for describing the whole story, especially the cheerful opening song typical of young people and the ending song which has deep meaning as an adult. The whole ost is very touching.

- For acting, everyone has their own assessment, I think all actors/actresses are suitable for their roles. For Lin Yi, I think he has developed, ZSN's character is like a transition from the characters he played before, acting deeper and more mature. For Yuqi, there are some that are not very relevant and are not suitable or are considered excessive, but I think she has tried her best because she dares to try new roles that are different from the ones she usually plays. Don't think too negatively that the SX character will mature in time.

Believe me, after finishing this drama, you will miss the friendship of this hutong gang, because after they grow up there will be many changes that will make you miss the early episodes and miss the other additional actors.

The Story

Overall semuanya bagus, kecuali ekspresi male lead yang kurang kalo menurutku, tapi karakter dia, Jing ci, sangat bagus. Jing Ci sangat handal akan semua hal, tapi tidak bisa bertindak tegas kepada orang kepercayaannya, seperti bibinya, ayah angkatnya, tabibnya, dll. Untuk karakter female lead, A Yuan, Feng Mianwan, Yuan Qingli bagus sekali, berbeda-beda karakter satu sama lain. Cuma yang kurang adalah saat A Yuan langsung jatuh cinta pada Jing Ci pada pandangan pertama, walaupun dia adalah Feng mianwan tapi agaknya tidak logis jika dia langsung mengejar-ngejar lead male.
Yang paling saya suka adalah ostnya sangat bagus cocok sekali untuk drama ini.
Alurnya banyak plot twist terutama yang terkait kasus-kasus itu.
Adegan paling sedih adalah ketika xiao lu meninggal di penjara ?
Adegan paling saya suka adalah ketika A Yuan tegas kepada JingCi dan memutuskan hubungan mereka dengan memotong dompet yang dia sulam dengan pedang dihadapan semua orang ? itu sangat keren. Dan akhirnya membuat Jing ci sadar akan semua tindakannya.
Overall drama ini sangat seru!! Cocok untuk yang suka romance + Misteri, apalagi kedua main leadnya sama - sama pintar ? aplause

Its Boring Plot

The Plot:
Because the tag is wuxia I thought there would be lots of typical wuxia fight scenes with some political intrigue as usual plus ML and FL who are great people in the wuxia world. What I didn't expect was that the plot was more political than wuxia, which made me disappointed. If the political plot was interesting at least I wouldn't be as disappointed as this, but unfortunately the political plot presented is very boring, made over and over again, and resolved easily and then repeated again and again, even I already guessed what would happen.

Chemistry :
At first I liked the chemistry when they fought each other but were friends and the relationship was neither bad nor good which was interesting but then the process of them turning into liking each other seemed too fast in the middle of a plot full of political intrigue such as romance which was out of place. So it makes me feel bored. I would prefer if they were friends who help each other rather than lovers.

Ps. I think Zhao Lusi is more suited to a comedy or naughty character like in LLTG because here her neck always looks tense. And for Yang Yang some reason I see him here like seeing Xiao Nai.

Waiting for this because of Neo and liking Mjty but.. Sorry I don't like the plot

‌‌It feels unfair to Lilun who used to be Zhuyan's best friend like Zhuyan didn't try to persuade Lilun to repent, Zhuyan seemed to have given up on persuading Lilun and chose her human friends even though they only communicated because Zhuyan didn't try to communicate with Lilun.

‌Ying Lei who put in the most effort to save Bai Jiu, but her friends only felt the loss after she died, when she was still around she was always ignored, luckily her child was happy so they didn't think about her.

‌The plot seemed to be very hard to save Bai Jiu, but with many sacrifices little by little that person sacrificed, the next day the others sacrificed.

‌Those who are always trapped by Lilun & Chongwu Camp are annoying, they are so slow, my goodness ?

‌Even though Zhuyan already knows that the Nuwa stone can fix his sword, why did it take so long to tell him before Lilun took it. My goodness, it's so annoying

‌A predictable plot from the start, at the beginning Zhuyan is very op = at the end he becomes very weak ✔️ the opposite of Zhou Yichen

‌GJM's characteristic = the second lead shines more ? throughout the plot it seems like ZYC's journey to becoming an op ?

‌There is no chemistry between Zhao Yuanzhou - Wen Xiao, because at the beginning they always fight, suddenly in the middle they start to like each other, where did that come from? There is no falling in love scene It doesn't make sense ? they are more suited as friends if you look at their social interactions so far it would be better if there was no love line

‌Actually I'm annoyed that Yinglei makes an effort to Baijiu but Bai Jiu makes an effort to Zyc, Zyc makes an effort to Wen Xiao, Wen Xiao makes an effort to Zyz (what kind of relationship is this ?) what do you mean by that

‌I really like Ade's relationship, I'm honestly bored ? because it's so predictable.

‌It's annoying that this is a life-exchange event ? Wow, Lilun is actually good, Zyz/Zy just lacks effort to persuade Lilun until finally Lilun is taken advantage of ?‍?

‌What's with the ending, it's like a waste of time watching just to spoil your eyes with the scenery ?

‌It's sadder when Yinglei & Lilun die than Baijiu & Zhuyan die. Why did Qing Gang die just to save Zyc? They didn't even remind me anymore, poor Qing Gang

‌I wanted to curse watching the last 2 ep
‌The villain is too OP, very strong + always in the lead and they are very weak, always losing, always being tricked, used too + always falling into the villain's trap.

‌There is no good plot twist like mjty at the end of the episode -_-
‌The most annoying thing is that GJM clearly made TJR's OP ? Neo became ah never mind like a parent who only protects TJR's PU ?

‌GJM this time only paid attention to the CGI, the storyline is disappointing

‌The relationship between the characters is also like they are on their own. They don't seem to fit together.
