The show is doing well, its getting very good comments on Chinese sites.
ofc, I'm one of many commenters who like your reviews/comments lol No need to thank! Thank you for your supportive words! ππΌ
I'd like to share more on different pages but just don't want to make others upset with my candor. For example, I didn't find the Double or other historical dramas this year to as 'great' as others thought and actually enjoy AYTO more. I also found that the writing was off in Melody of...; like many others, I couldn't get the cases/storyline, in my case, probably due to lack of focus. I feel like the writers go off on tangents like me lol π€¦π»ββοΈ
It is always great to see you along with other friends/commenters on here! π

@PeachBlossomGoddess πππΌ! Always enjoy your shares on stats & whenever you impart on your knowledge; fyi, β€οΈ your AYTO review; especially the strong female characters comment (spot on). π. Unbeknownst to you, I always click on 'find this review helpful' for your reviews! π€£
I've been so impressed by how female characters are depicted as strong, intelligent, beautiful, leaders, etcin cdramas lately; some can even carry an entire show! πͺπΌππΌ
Like you, I'm also liking the first shot; have you given Wind Direction a chance? WD - pretty enjoyable so far....
No ! USA movies are propaganda, not this drama, its just chinese history
Thank you for this post! π I couldn't agree more; it isn't propaganda but rather Chinese nationalism/nationalist.
I've been impressed by Cdramas lately for being able to portray strong female characters/leaders as well as the fact that good and bad people exists in this world and in different cultures/countries (i.e. good family relations, etc in these type of dramas and even drug dealers, gangsters such as the case in 'the first shot'. I feel like commenters like to overuse 'propaganda'. π€¦π»ββοΈ Keep on enjoying.
I also β€οΈ Qin Lan; she is beautiful! π» The costumes and the other actresses are also breath-taking. Tbh,…
100%! Like the saying goes, it takes one to know one, right? lol Kidding...I've been impressed by the latest crime c-dramas; please watch her latest drama.
π₯° the new profile pic! (Have an idea on the artist!)
Thank you and the same to you!
Just know that I will be smirking/smiling or laughing on the side Whenever you make funny or intelligent posts Almost always or quite frequent with you dear! lol π
Ty for the short review. Sorry to hear this was a let down. Was thinking of asking my folks to watch this but…
TY for the reply (so nice to see you) & quite the honor dear! Hope life has been kind to you! No apologies necessary; as a sentimentalist, her songs are nostalgic since my beloved parents liked them! π Please suggest they watch but fast forward like me. lol There were some touching moments: mostly, Teresa and her relatable family stories and I would recommend them watching for some of the photos/video montages in the ending.
Btw, I read most of your comments; 1) my beloved mom also would agreed with the really 'red' lipstick being π 2) Spot on the double's review; especially your thoughts on the ending.
TY for your recommendations on Joy of Life; finally caught on to what you guys have been raving about! Intelligence (plot, acting, etc) and strategic! ππ₯π. Hoping to see you soon. Happiest days to everyone! πͺ·
Of course it is a Chinese propaganda movie, but as China has now made a vey successful comeback to the world scene…
Appreciate your share/candor! Intelligence is relative, isn't it? I know people who are dumb but think they are the smartest and the opposite is true (as I am getting older, I realized that the more I know, the more I don't know!).
As previously stated, I"m not a proponent of communism but rather view this as nationalism/patriotism. I feel like its good to see that any cultures/countries/politics/race/etc have 'goods' and 'bads' but to have an open mind.
My beloved mom delineated to me that during Mao's last days, his then wife, Jian Qing took the reins of leadership and did/committed a lot of 'bads' (ie shutting down labs/researches/etc) due to jealousy...etc. Meanwhile, I also realized that Chinese people suffered a lot during imperialism. (although I'm enamored with China's imperial histories)..opium...people had no food to eat to pay off debts (to western countries)! My beloved grandmother was able to be literate! (So proud!) Meanwhile, Chiang KS and KMT left with $$$. I have good friends who are Chinese and Taiwanese (Americans, etc) so I refrained from judgements.
Looking forward to seeing you in other Chinese dramas! Keep on enjoying! I'm also watching shooting stars; I used to dislike Republican era dramas until War of Faith opened up my eyes and encouraged me to give othar R era's dramas a chance. πππ
Off on a tangent: I like your profile pic and your profile shares! π

Reading your share actually encouraged me to be more forthcoming so I would like to thank you again! ππ

Most of the time I like to cheer for the underdogs, especially those who persevered! Iβm especially proud of how Singapore pulled through after being kicked out of Malaysia in the 1960s since my beloved father was originally from Singapore! ππ

Thanks and the feelings is mutual on your shares; hundred percent in agreement! Well put; Iβve enjoyed reading some of the posts and commentary, especially the ones who are not from China, but are aware of the histories!
Right now, the US is focused on global appeal with fundings on wars efforts; Meanwhile, people are struggling here (in the US Especially in the rural areas) without insurance, jobs, food, medical, etc. π€¦π»ββοΈ
I especially liked how you wrote US always portrayed themselves in the right/good side! Hope to see you around! πππ»πͺ·π
I actually don't mind the main Hua family so much. Mostly cause when they make a mistake, the realistically learn…
π€£ππππΌ Post/share likes yours, comedic and yet candid, is why I like reading comments! I am also liking this drama and look forward to each new episodes!

Thank you for this and for recognizing 'leap forward', as well as US's depictions, etc! I've enjoyed the War of Faith's MDL commenters (especially the political discussions); refreshing to see educated opinions. I have never liked republican era dramas until War of Faith; it was really good/entertaining! ππ
As an American, I'm not sure why people often say these type of shows from China are propaganda; is it because China is a communist country? I actually think War of Faith is more nationalism/patriotism. I'm not a proponent of communism but I learned from my beloved mom that in China's extensive respectable long history, it has been really difficult for them to 'unify', therefore, I believe that their governing structures have to different than the western world.
Hope you do not mind my candor. i.e. When Hollywood or Disney produces movies/shows such as: - Miracle (how US Olympic team historic win agains the Russians...) - Rocky winning against a Russian fighter... - Shows/movies on US winning against England in Revolutionary war...depicting historic events (which is what War of Faith also mentioned/depicted...)
Why don't people say that Hollywood or the US are pushing propaganda or portraying these other cultures and people in negative lights? Thank you my smart MDL peeps! See you soon.
This is one of the most frustrating drama Iβve ever watched. I loved watching 100+ Korean family dramas back…
π― in agreement with what you wrote above especially about enjoying the hundred plus episodes dramas from past days!
Iβm surprised nobody commented about how they prolong this drama from 120 episodes to 132! π€¦π»ββοΈπ This definitely exacerbated our frustrations! π€¦π»ββοΈπ€¦π»ββοΈ wondered if the actors themselves wants to pull the plug on this project?! lol π
