Yin mi de jiao luo

What amazed me most is not how fascinating the assassinations occurred but how the real life of China of 15 years ago was vividly presented in the series and how the life of 1 self-abased teacher, 2 eye-half-shut parents and 3 sensitive kids accidentally mix together and obscures the boundary between good and evil.

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.

Loved it.finished watching today. special thank you too all the team behind creating this series. the work by the child actor is mind blowing. the teacher wanted a girl daugher. a small part also felt sorry for the teacher for being betrayed. overall the life is shown beautifully. how the life not always happy. its also sad.

Which actually dives into archetypal children's behaviours, and the consequences of the adults around them never growing up and never fixing themselves.

The deaths are very well thought out and placed, and the fact nobody cares about them only serves to highlight something that everyone knows but is afraid to admit to - when was the last time you actually knew about your neighbours, talked to them or got interested about what was happening in their lives?

The answer is probably - "Never", and is the same answer which is to be given in place of most parents who're too "busy", too overworked, or too traumatized themselves with their childhood traumas to get interested or to understand what's really happening in their children's lives.

I highly recommend this drama, along with other recent Chinese productions.

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.
