This drama has a very simple plot but the thing fascinates me is its process is beyond perfect. I am a lover of book myself, poetry and arts that's why I love this drama even more. The million bonus is the cast golden acting especially PBG and SHK and their face profiles. Truly eye candies. I love how the PD made the flow of the story. The scenes are putting up little by little until climax. The cinematography is just fantastic. All sweeeeet moments are refreshing as in refreshing and makes my heart jumps out. This drama makes me remember the feeling of being in love bc of PBG excellent acting . The drama dialogues/quotes are all rich in life lessons that even now I save it and compile it. This drama makes me want to visit Korea again and go to the places where it has been shot. I learn so many things regarding literature since Jinhyuk is really an intelligent man same with Soohyun with arts. So heartwarming. It embraces my hearts and life. This is a drama that when you are sad just watch it then those sadness will throw outside the window just watching PBG and SHK aside from the eps 14, truly tear jerker. Amazing drama. I LOVE TO HAVE SEASON 2 or else another drama for PBG and SHK. To those bashing it with SJK's issue, please REAL is way way way different from REEL. Grow up, people. To those who did not enjoy, you just have not the intelligence to catch up with the class and beauty of this breathtaking drama. Peace.

My wait is long, my dream for you does not end - that's my unrequited love.

Surprisingly, I love everything in this drama. I didnt have the time to hate any scenes because they have their own complicated love story. I can relate to the story of these two. I had an unrequited love also when i was in HS until university and now that I already has a hubby that man that i loved silently has still a special place in my heart. It does not fade but i just treat it as happy feeling inside of me. My unrequited love.

Aside from Lou Zhi and Sheng Yuainan love story, Ge Bi and Baili story has also its bitter background. And it gives more comparison of how Baili and Lou Zhi are handling their relationships. At least in Baili story, she has became Gebi's female lead. This implies one's determination. Ofc, Zhang Mingrui story is telling us that there are really people in this world that's our buddy, just and only a friend,nothing else will emerge from that.
One thing I didnt like is the least time in the last episode. I just hope the couple have given at least to talk to each other. I mean more screen time. Or the drama makes a time jump that they are already a couple with kids, so on and so forth.

But over all the drama is so heart warming and dramatics. Plus this drama has so many life and love qoutes. I wrote down all the qoutes from Lou Zhi because I want to read it over and over again.

Plus the OST is so so so lovely. I love all the songs. These complement the drama so well. So this one is highly recommended. 9/10 for me.

What's Life All About When They were 17-18

I am always lazy placing review here but this time I won't pass because I need to tell the world how this drama touched me so much.

I love all the characters here and how the SW made effort to give to them their own time and moment to shine. And when they are in the spotlight you will find sympatizing to the characters. Ep1 made an impact already in my mind wc made me decide to watch continuously. How Miao2 Mama was tough to run away with her boyfriend who later betrayed her and as the story was reaveling I concluded that Miao2 characteristics were taken majorly from her Mama. She is a person with full of 10000 ideas and always persistent aside from being book smart wc she is really her weak side but her intrapersonal skill is very good . All characters here made an impact on me while watching all the episodes. I love the smart type of Yaya but can join the antics and emotions of her sister, although they were fighting un the beginning. I love Tao and Min siblings, they really love each other. I love Taos wisdom and how he delivered his lines. I cried, I bawled on this scene. I love LiSi, how he is always ready to fight for his loved ones. I love how Yuanqing love her baby sister and give everything for her. I love the pure relationship of Yaya and Yuanqing; how they wanted to protect each other. The Ayis and the Shushus were all good. They were not perfect but they would always be willing to be with each other., support each other. I love uncle Baoxian how he has so many ideas in everything and Xiao Feng Turen, how she is fighting for the students. I love the two teachers who sincerely helped their students especially Xiaowa. I love the family of Xiaowa although they are poor they r open minded and supportive family. I love Laola how she is telling her wisdoms to the people around her.

This drama made me cry and laugh because I feel every lesson it wanted to convey to in every episode. I love every episode, the scene where Min would jump off the bridge wc had an amazing finale and that's her mother didn't hesitate to jump off with LiSi trying to help Mins Mama not to fall and at the end they were rescued by Xaiowa and Teacher Gao. I love how Teacher Gao eradicated the ranking system , telling all the parents about his hope that the home of their students should be a place that they would always be comfortable to stay in and would have their peace whenever they r with their parents. Teaxher Gao is an awesome teacher (clap clap clap)I hope that this world will have teachers like Xiao Fang, Teacher Gao and Teacher Han.

I will surely miss my Wind Direction cast and I also get sad when all the episodes were you. I just want to emphasize that I get so sad about LiSis passing but I believe that the SW made the correct decision for doing that because in life the storms will not always have a success result but a result that we will just need to accept because we can't do anything about it. Life is a series of success and failures and just accepting what is in the choices.

This is the BEST DRAMA of the YEAR for me and hoping it will be recognized in China. I love slice of life drama and this one etched a very good memories in me and btw, they r the same age of me. Our HS years are in the same year and I believe so if they are all true characters they r all in their at least 43 or 44 years of age. I cant say all here but all the episodes are golds and I didn't skip any scenes. Highly recommending this drama to all. Please watch it so you will know what's life is all about when they were in 16, 17, 18. Life aint that great but it is still the life that will make you smile when you reminisce the past. Goodbye, Wind Direction, goodbye LiSi, goodbye Linqi Oilfield village, goodbye fishing village, goodbye Linqi2 HS, goodbye youth, goodbye memories of the past. I will surely miss this drama 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼😢😢😢❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Sincerety and kindness beat the devil in somebody

I lost counting how many times I watched this movie. I watched this in the year 2014 in Red Channel HBO where every C - and K-dramas have been shown.

What's important is its brilliant plot where the kindness and sincerity of the FL are showing: where the evil of greediness and cunning mind are shown n the 2nd ML ; where the true feeling is shown in the heart of ML.

The cast were all great. They delivered their acting on-pointly. I was impressed with their acting performance.

Plus the cinematography is so perfect. The lights; the cinematic color. I love watching movies and dramas with great cinematic color.

So gonna conclude this movie a very perfect one. Watch and rewatch!

PS: I started my admiration to Chen Xiao because of this movie. And started to believe Zhao Liying acting ability because of this. For Zhou Dong Yu - she has been my forever princess in C-Ent. I treasure her with Shawn Duo after I watched the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree.

You Can't Go Against The Fate, Just Be Kind With It

I watched this thru HBO Red Channel in 2012. After watching the whole movie I concluded that this movie is a masterpiece.
This movie tackles about the then unrest years in mainland China wc the government needed compulsory soldiers to fight with the civil war. As the story went on, the patriarch who is the good baker went to Taiwan to avoid the longer time in military. In this time, since he hadntjis problem with the government he couldnt go back to the family in MC so he stayed in Taiwan for many years, got married to another wife and got a daughter named JiaYi.

There were so many good scenes in the movie and I couldn't recall anymore but most of all I love the ending scene wherein the father came back to his hometown in China where he saw his wife, his son wc is little Jiawan and and the whole family (mother, father, sisters, as in all his family waiting for him in their front yard) If you watch closely as if everyone is real but it his spirit that just returned to. He died without being able to return to their house and without the chance to be able to see his family.

This is a nth degree tear jerker movie. The father didn't want to abandon his wife but forced to join the military. He couldnt back home to mainland China since there was political rift between China and Taiwan and his visa problem. The son and the daughter understood the situation better after so many times of disagreements and fighting.

I love this movie coz it reminds me of my mother's family's situation and experience. This is about family and how should we value our family.
