I know what the controversy is about but what I really find problematic is that I keep seeing people talk about…
allegedly she is a 2006er which makes her only 19 years old, while the other ladies are all late 20s and early 30s - that's what's super sus about it like why would the PDs even let someone so young on the show???
this was such a difficult yet important watch - it reminds me of the netflix mini drama Maid; it's not as easy as we think to leave an abuser, especially when you consider the Chinese/Asian values of being filial, patriarchal Confucius values of being male-family oriented, and sacrificing ourselves for our kids even if we end up losing our sanity etc. The way it's shot was so realistic, almost like a docu-series
loving the cinematography and acting! does anyone know which city in china it's set in - northeastern china?
i watched it on a chinese platform and the chinese netizens were commenting tht they spoke in sichuan accent so likely somewhere in the mountainous sichuan region - chongqing? so interesting
cast looks stacked and i love that it's another short crime thriller at 13 eps! cant go wrong w qin hao and crime dramas. i hope it starts and finishes strong
lmao the men mad in the comments can stay mad, this is the highest rated movie of 2024 on douban in china and received critical acclaim. props to the director/writer and cast for such a witty, refreshing and fun take on modern feminism!
That means it's pretttttty good.It's hard for dramas to barely reach 7 or 8 after years on douban ...this one…
try wetv! lolol there's no romance bc thats not what the story is about LOL; it focuses on education as a key to young womens future (esp impoverished girls from the country side), social issues like sexism, s*xual harassement, domestic violence etc. it's not graphic and only touches on the last 2 briefly but it goes to show that this drama highlights very real issues that face not just china but women everywhere
Wow! Lan Xi Ya acting is chef’s kiss. Those policemen are dam*n useless and frustrating telling her not to exaggerate…
lan xi ya blew me AWAY in this drama! her expression, the way she acts with her eyes... what a talent. i agree that scene made me angry af and it's a sad reality tht happens all too common irl :( stupid police. hahaha teacher zhang has such a soft spot for her favourite bb
this is one of the best dramas i've seen in the last 5 years among cdramas, and the best this year. you can tell the production team, cast, crew etc absolutely put in 100% efforts to portray zhang gui mei's irl story, as well as the stories of the girls in the high school. just riveting, inspiring, and beautiful all around and does a wonderful job exploring themes like gender inequality, economic inequality, pedagogy, the value of an education, etc.. it makes me want to be a teacher tbh !!!
