I was here hard for Liu Yuning and Zhao Lusi, a pairing I've been wishing for since Ballad, but I'm at episode…
the story started in ep 1 and it is a good one. I think if you couldnt sense it till ep 5, you wont like it no matter how many eps you will watch. So better drop it and watch something that can bring you more joy Drama has a heavy plot, is full of symbols and metaphors, romance line is short, intense and sad, so, yeah, not everyone cup of tea
I finally finished this series and im glad I did! It was worth the watch, however, I understand why the ratings…
I think the end is realistic. Drama isnt a fairy tale and never promised to be one. ML was dying beginning with ep 3. In ep 18 every1 knew his chances to live are 0. For 37 eps we were prepared for this end, we knew he will die at some point of narration but didnt know exactly when. However, both leads ended they arcs: she finally found that freedom she was looking for the entire life, doing what she always wanted (but also continue the tradition of both families). 40 years of traveling is actually a symbolic, metaphoric way to desribe a long life time process of maturation, ending the journey finding peace and fulfilment . ML ended his arc clearing his clan name and he also took revenge. In my opinion, this was the best ending for this story

The ancient legendary drama #η εΉηεΉ# starring #θ΅΅ι²ζ# ended its membership on Youku yesterday. Zhao Lusi once again won the recognition of the audience with her superb acting skills and deep understanding of the role, and received 86% positive public opinion. The heroine #η«―ε# in the play , the gorgeous transformation from a pearl-collecting slave to a legendary female businessman, Zhao Lusi not only showed the tenacity and wisdom of the character, but also deeply portrayed the struggle and growth of women in ancient society. According to #εΎ·ε‘ζ# data, Zhao Lusi has a high preference among the female audience group aged 18-30, and has a certain influence in all cities, especially in first-tier and new first-tier cities, showing her extensive market influence. "η εΉηεΉ" is not only broadcast on the three major first-tier satellite TV stations in China, but also strongly ranked on the global Netflix platform with Zhao Lusi's strong overseas popularity and drama fan disk, and topped the Netflix drama list in Singapore, Taiwan and other regions. With her outstanding acting skills and unique charm, she helped the role of Duanwu to transcend borders, attracting the love and pursuit of many overseas audiences, refreshing the ranking of her starring drama on Netflix's global daily list, aand driving the popularity of other dramas that have been broadcast, which strongly confirmed the long-tail effect of her starring drama and its overseas popularity. The successful overseas release of "Pearl Curtain and Jade Curtain" once again proved Zhao Lusi's appeal and commercial value as a powerful actor. We look forward to Zhao Lusi continuing to unlock more rich and three-dimensional roles in the future and bringing more wonderful works to the audience.
Do not drop. This is a masterpiece. Its a complex story with growing characters. You will not regret finishing…
dont be upset :) Many ppl are disappointed coz they wanted to see a romcom, fluffy, with a strong romance line. This drama is not that type. And they really dont care how much better than a romcom this drama is.
Xie Keyin bids farewell to The Story of Pearl Girl "19 pictures to say goodbye to Nineteen, the story has come to an end, I hope Cui Zhuohua will have happy days in the future" https://weibo.com/3081216591/5105987113189860
From the humble beginnings as a pearl slave in the small pearl market of Hepu, to being elected as the Leading Merchant of Yangzhou, my journey has been full of hardships, but it has also allowed me to grow and transform. Whether through laughter or tears, I will never forget.
Looking back on my time in the pearl market, where I spent every day by the sea, struggling with hunger and enduring humiliation, the only thing I could do was gather pearls day after day. It was during those days that I made a vow to escape, to seek the freedom I longed for, and to live a life of brilliance that belonged to me. And now, this moment is the best proofβI have made it.
Along the way, I have also made many friends who are like family to meβXia Mi, Yun Xiu, the companions of the merchant group, Fifth A Zi, Lady Huang, the people at Ming Jing Tai, and the sisters of the Piaoping Society.
Without their companionship and support, my journey would have been even harder. To meet, know, and become close to them has been my great fortune. The countless unforgettable moments we've shared, the mountains and rivers we've crossed, and the seasons of lifeβI will forever hold them in my heart.
Mountains and Seas are boundless, but life is finite. Now, it is time for me to set off again~ To experience this vast world without restraint, that is the true freedom I desire.
Thank you all for your companionship on this journey. The road ahead is long, with mountains high and rivers wide, but if fate allows, we will meet again someday β

you mean ppl dont watch Romeo and Juliet, Titanic, Lost and tons of other amazing movies and series with sad or opened ending nowadays. Seriously?!? TSOPG ranks 13th on Global Netflix for 2 days, the single chinese drama with such achievement in 2024 . Ppl are watching it regardless its ending
ppl like you, who cant control their anger and hate, usually end in a cage: prison, mental institutionMeanwhile,…
overseas women do beauty procedures, do liftings. It's part of their beauty routine. You talking about her ps allegations on international platforms like she killed your pet, or something shameful is hilarious. Before ps allegation you hated her for other things. The only constant thing is your insane, ill hate . I'll block you in an end, you became boring
if a HE is them living together 50 years, happily, having a bunch of kids...then it's not HEML is dying in this…
The only certain thing in our life is that we all die at a certain moment. It's part of life You cant compare the ending of the other dramas you are talking about, nobody expected a sad ending for KMHM. Sad endings coming from nowhere are really a pain TSOPG ending was full of metaphors and symbols.
The most watched movie and series of all time have a sad ending.
