A Beijing Love Story, a Modern Coming of Age Travails in Life of Millennials in China. Great Watch
The drama is very realistic with a hint of modernism and neoliberalism in the plot lines. The actors Li Chen, Chen Sicheng were all aptly multi-faceted and developed in character on the aims and aspirations, complications of relationships of the new millennial generation. Yang Mi in this modern drama exuded once again that rare youngish and very dazed vibrancy alongside the very talented Tong Liya, displaying age-stage transformative maturity in their dramatic portrayals with Zhang Zin Yi and Monica Mok akinly similar to the allegorical reference to the four seasons (Summer, Spring, Autumn and Winter). Chen Sicheng is a modern day visionary actor and director in making this series. The series gave us the same vibe of an older film, the 1994’s Reality Bites starring Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke.Was this review helpful to you?
