Netflix version has opposite problem as this one, imo... Rushed slop for Americans lacking attention span
Netflix version isn't perfect but it's much better filmed and acted. The characters are much more interesting. It has nothing in common with the typical popcorn slop for casual american normies with bad taste. Chinese version is a "very interesting" audiobook..) rather than a TV series. The characters are mostly busy standing like posts or sitting and delivering lines, spending 2-3 episodes in a row telling their life story. It's hard to even classify this as cinema. It's more like a dramatized reading of a book. Chinese version wasn't made by filmmakers but by incompetents and talentless people.
I had to drop it because I read online that the mother was never punished or held accountable for what she did…
This drama is not about revenge. In fact, the mother received her punishment, which for her as a mother is actually worse than prison. The only reason she didn’t go to prison is because fl asked the court not to send her there. Ml did not abandon his mother in favor of fl. He didn’t abandon either his mother or his love.
