隐秘的角落

Nevertheless as a student of Chinese I persevered to the end, 12 sessions. Lots of technical flaws, and an unbelievable plot. Acting of the three central characters, teenagers/children pretty convincing in frankly silly situations.

Cinematography and settings are pretty good, but the succession of deaths and murders and lack of involvement of the police were too much of a stretch of the imagination. Yet I enjoyed some of the family relationship portrayals, and the grey mean streets and quarters and dockyards.

The series was notably lacking in smiles and humour and similarly grey in setting and tone, but a special commendation goes to the actor who portrayed Pupu, a professional performance for one so young.

Definitely not recommended unless you are a Chinese language study freak (as I am)

Human nature in vivid display. There are no true goodness or true evil. It is about the restraint of our inner sin that prevents us from unleashing our devilsh self.

Initially, the show seemed to me like Stranger Things. Then, as things became intense, I felt like watching Breaking Bad. In the end, realizing how the ending could be interpreted two ways, it made me think of Fight Club. I haven't binge watch a show for a couple years now, until this one. Really enjoy this.

Def one of the best serials and I literally registered my freaking IMDb account just for reviewing this fascinating serials. It presented delicate plots which conducted by 15-year-old kids and every frame of the serials indicated dedicated work provided by the director. I would say this is one of the best serials of the 2020! I mean, just watch it, or you would never know what you are missing!!

The plot is closely linked with each other. The opening song, the ending song and the interlude are all carefully designed, and the plot bedding and details are full of meaning. All the actors performed very well. Since then, I have a psychological shadow on the protagonist Zhang Dongsheng.
