If you’re looking for a dark, twisted, and well-written drama, you might want to check this one out.

The reason this drama was so well-received in China was because it didn’t have one useless scene. In general, Chinese dramas usually exceed 20 episodes, with some being as long as 60 or 80 episodes. This may cause the overall storyline to drag and lose the viewer’s attention. However, in this drama, every scene will keep you on the edge of your seat and every episode will leave you wondering about the next.

Possibly the thing that stuck with me the most while watching is how the director and production crew brought this story to life. Everything, from the details of the background scenes, the juxtaposition, and the camera angles, was perfect. To completely enjoy and understand this story, you need to pay close attention to the details and the meanings behind every shot. The music placed in each scene also felt haunting, but rightfully so. Although the music seemed creepy and twisted, it was very meaningful, and it accurately described the characters’ inner voices and feelings. I was also pleasantly surprised by how well the child actors took on their roles and how natural they made the characters seem. At some parts of the drama, it almost felt like you were watching a documentary and that these characters actually existed.

Since this drama focuses on many social issues and family pressure, it touched on many topics that haven’t been discussed as frequently before, but should be brought to our attention because of how impactful they can be people, especially children.

Overall, this is a mind-blowing drama that has exceptional acting and directing, and it will resonate with you long after you’ve finished it.
