First impressions.
This felt similar I was watching 2d season of Rattan. Firstly, the opening song was a fleck similar the i in Rattan... kinda mysterious. I too noticed voice changes, from what I know, Si Teng'second phonation was dubbed thus I'k non sure if they're using her real vocalism in City of Streamers(will investigate). From the start off ten minutes of the drama you lot lot already know that this drama'sec main subject is the romantic man relationship betwixt teacher also educatee, fellow together with an older adult female. The operate into up between the principal leads wasn't ane of those platitude moments inwards dramas. They selected the best scene for their work into upwards just it felt like I was watching the Chinese version of Cinderella.
Overall.
Set inwards the Shanghai Shores at the become-become of the 20th century, where warlords beginning out to seize their powers; many heroes emerge, together alongside revolutionary movements get down to rising. Making role of their wealth, the influential Rong family oftentimes abused their powers to commit diverse heinous crimes.
In guild to uphold judge, Feng Shi Zhen decided to embark on the route of revenge. She successfully sneaked into the Rong family, also as became a tutor of the immature principal Rong Jia Shang. However, inwards the midst of testing also every bit making part of each other, Feng Shi Zhen belatedly finds herself falling for the enemy'sec boy. When the truth of the injustice as well equally grievances that happened twenty years ago gear up almost to surface, the two lovers who were initially in 2 unlike camps piece of operate together to brave through numerous hurdles, and ultimately reach away the shocking truth.
The Good.
i. Chemistry.
When you take upwardly chemistry people call back that nosotros alone utter nigh romance merely you are wrong because nosotros likewise oral fissure nigh chemic science betwixt characters in the drama. If y'all take a skilful wait at Shizhen besides her blood brother (not Li), their human relationship is no dissimilar from normal human relationship betwixt a large blood brother in improver to piffling sister. They cared for each other every bit if they percent the same blood together amongst it was a stupor. You tin besides look at the hate betwixt Meng too every bit Rong Dingkun, you lot can can feel the tension between them even when they're inward a crowd, it gives yous goosebumps. In price of romance, it was a adept function with Jiashang too Shizhen particularly alongside the whole identity mystery being a thread to their human being human relationship too as and then it's dear-hate relationship, it'sec nice to lookout such segments every bit long as they don't overdo it.
2. Storyline.
If you lot watched the drama yous lot can tin back me upward on this 1, the storyline of this drama is like a puzzle amongst K pieces. In the showtime, it looked similar the puzzles were slice of cake to connect but as you go along to home the pieces together yous realise that the puzzle isn't what yous thought it would be. The storyline kept changing inward addition to changing, you lot go along on guessing together with guessing simply together with then as it reaches the stop... all the puzzles connect likewise you in conclusion become a clear film of what the writers had inwards mind.
The Bad.
i. Sound delay.
I noticed that in some episodes inward that place was a sound delay, I'one thousand not sure if it was alone on my side or everyone witnessed it merely it'sec definitely non a upshot of bad mesh signal.
two. Not this flim-flam again.
I'thousand tired of watching a drama together with too then 1 of the male mortal atomic number 82 gets sick, the female person individual Pb takes care of him as well as when it's fourth dimension for her to get out... good, you know what will accept home, the male person individual leads grabs her mitt causing her to pass the dark watching over him, this Sucks! Can't they alive more than creative in edifice upward the storyline?
three. Bad! Bad Ending!
If the ending of Rong Dingkun was scripted equally a agency of shocking us, and then they did a proficient chore but if they scripted it thinking that it's the best solution as well as so they did a bad task. For a villain like Rong Dingkun, he shouldn't accept got ended upwards the way he did, it'second a unique ending but non skillful enough to finish a drama like City of streamers.
Conclusion.
It'second been a long journeying watching this drama, I saw approximately negative comments nigh Jiashang burning opium only the directors did a smashing a task past sharing a real life upshot like to the opium scene every fleck defence force. Normally I wouldn't recommend Republican dramas because I haven't institute a swell drama to recommend only I highly recommend this drama to y'all if you haven't watched it. Yes, the ending may live shocking simply it doesn't mean the drama is bad.
