I have expected the rating to be in the 9.0 range. It is a well written drama. Kudos to the scriptwriters. The late director did an excellent job in narrating the story. The editing and the flow of the drama is seamless. Easy to follow and understand the plot of the story. All the actors and actresses portray their roles according to their unique personalities. The OST is addictive and I have been playing it non-stop in my computer.

Most of the great dramas and movies in China have low rating here in MDL. I often wonder why. MDL mainly serve South Korean drama. Chinese drama should have their own separate site.

If this is a modern day romance story, she would have said something. This drama took place in 1970's, women are more conservative.

Instead of taking back the bookmark, TXM should make another similar one and give it to XCS as a gift before he enters the military. Then he will realize that it was her in the library.

He just finished his last stage play last month (May 2023).

Patience is a virtue. The story is going thru a Detour but eventually they will end up together.

In episode 4, when the group was having snacks on the side of the street. XCS talked about the lady that he really likes and admire in the forbidden library but didn't get to see her face. TXM could have come out and told them it was her. She is just too shy to say it. There won't be any love story between HHL and XCS.
After seeing her bookmark that XCS kept at his desk, now she is more determine to fight for her love. You know the saying if it is yours it's yours.

Three Body is about aliens. This drama is not. You keep promoting the three body drama only on Xiao Zhan fan page, Go to TTEOM or Gen. Z.

XCS Dad can predict the future even though he suffers from dementia. By calling Xiao Mei his daughter-in-law. He is one of my favorite character because he is funny.

Different last name but same first name. Thanks for the clarification.

You sounded like a broken record. Are you here to promote the drama 3 Body. You keep mentioning it. I have watched the movie Wandering Earth 1 and 2 in the US Cinema. My husband and I like it.
I am anticipating and hoping to see The Legend of Condor Heroes next year only if Xiao Zhan is the ML. As for the Longest Promise, it is Tencent lost if they keep dragging on releasing it.

The Dad is not Wu Gang. Wu Gang is in Gen Z. I don't know why they did not list all the supporting cast.

The Acting academy in China should give him a Master Degree in Performing Arts for 3 years of stage play ( Internship ).

Yes. You mean Beijing accent. The rolling of the tongue and more R sound.

Actually the instrumental music somewhere in the middle of the Episode 1 and 2 reminds me of the Godfather the movie. I love the Beginning instrumental music and the ending song by Hu Xia.

Is it on her legs ? Oops I thought she was practicing on XCS legs because he was in a wheelchair. It will be funny if she try acupuncture on XCS by putting acupuncture needles all over his hairy legs or are they going to shave him ?

I think you are right that she was in Shanghai during the long COVID Lockdown. It was in the news.

In the past drama and movies, Xiao Zhan character role in The wolf and Jade Dynasty 1 was chasing Li Qin. Now it is the opposite. TXM has a secret crush on XCS. It is kind of cute.
In the preview for Episode 9, FL2 will join the army and spent more time with ML2. This way they can focus more on XCS and TXM love story.

That is the women hairstyle in China 1970's era. Make up products are not available in China yet. They make the FL looks plain because she is a bookworm. She is a nurse and studying to become a doctor. Even now, if you work in the medical field wearing make-up is not allowed in the laboratories and hospitals. It can cause contamination.

I have watched four episodes yesterday and truly enjoying this drama.

The Condor Hero is the first book and the return of the Condor Hero is the second book. That will be the next movie.
