I loved the past message of the daily fight by the cops fighting drugs, but in my view also raised many questions and why's: Why are the laws so heavy in china, why not give a second chance to those who really didn't have a choice to go to the drugs?.
Deep down watching this drama we will eventually feel that not everything is certain sometimes people take certain directions because they have no option.
Now speaking of the characters, I loved the 4 main characters, and the romance was something I didn't miss.
The agent (lead actor), is smart and has a good development throughout the drama, it must be for this reason that everyone wanted to work with him. Also I need to praise his sense of empathy for others around him, even if they were his enemies.
Two others are the drug-dealing brothers who show that life is not always easy, that often the lack of a family bosom, and being born in a poor environment makes us want to survive, often choosing and following the wrong ways. It is noteworthy the love and loyalty of both characters, even trafficking, both remained loyal to each other and especially liked the younger brother Tao. I can't wait to see more dramas with these actors.
Finally, you will be shocked by the ending, and I think if you give yourself a chance to see this drama you will not regret it.

First of all I want to mention, that I was really excited about this drama, and the trailer just made us love it even more, but not the end was a decision as the course of the drama was too fast and very cruel to our protagonist.As typical of Chinese dramas, especially epics, here we have the case of "everyone loves me", that is, all the male characters love our protagonist but the female ones feel envy and hate .... I thought it was like Empress of China a sweet woman with men who love and respect her. However, this turned out to be a lie because only one of the protagonists truly loved the senior, since the king, in my view, saw it as a necessity, an obsession ... many excuse the attitudes of such because it is beautiful, but put yourself in the the protagonist's place ... to suffer physical and verbal abuse as she suffered no one deserves it, they would like someone who you are not attracted or like to start assaulting you to put you down whenever you can, because in Women Kings we witness this ...
Too much shit and obsession from the male leads..

This is how the first episode begins ..What you can count on in this drama, changes, evolocoes, maturation, understanding, and above all a mature novel with life stories ..

The biggest point for Sound Of Desert is that it has one of the most beautiful love stories I've ever seen in Chinese dramas for a long time (contemporary dramas excluded). A romantic story has that makes us happy, but the most important point is to feel connected. I do not mind crying an ocean on the journey of love, as long as I get a happy ending, or a tragedy full of love ... A great romantic story must be able to present us with a love so nearly impossible to find in real life . It should make us say wowow or even leave us amazed and dazzle us with its beauty.How about this masterpiece !!!
It's hard not to be envious of the female lead in the Sound of Desert. Seriously. How can a woman be as lucky as Xin Yue (Jin Yu)? How can men like Jiu Ye (Mo Xun) and Wei Wu Ji love a woman like Xin Yue? Sound of Desert and written by a woman so she has clearly different visions of how women are to be loved and what kind of man we deserve.
I hate spoilers, but for every drama I see, I need to know who the OTP is and if they will have a happy ending. In this drama is fundamental to avoid disappointment. The bad news is that both men in this drama are a love affair, apart from the good heart it has, two wonderful opposites.
A little about the male characters
Jiu Ye (Mo Xun)
With its world-wide beauty. So beautiful but untouchable. He is a mysterious man, and one of the richest and most successful entrepreneurs in Jian An having great power and influence. Although his reputation is known everywhere, only Jiu Ye seems not to know or in this case not wanting to know. He has no interest in anything but work. He even refuses the king's order to go to the palace to visit him. Your responsibilities are already quite high as we can see. He does not want to engage in intrigues with the king and the court. There is no room in your life for anything or anyone else. But as Wei Wu Ji, her interest falls on the wolf girl who dares to steal it in the Gobi desert. To be honest and a calm character of more and very reserved who let his condition and doubts, not be honest with loved .. this explains his loss
Wei Wu Ji
Second, we have Wei Wu Ji who may not have the extraordinary beauty of Jiu Ye, but owns tons of sex applea. It is absolutely HOT. No, he feels any attraction for beauties to prove it, and when he finally sees the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom that turns the King into his slave, he looks at her with sharp eyes that evaluate her and show her as they smile irrationally, completely immune to her feminine charms but fully aware of what her beauty is capable of. The only woman who captures your eyes and your cold heart is the wolf girl who saves you in the Gobi Desert. Let's say I fell in love with him the first maybe, for being a more direct and honest person with his feelings
Conclusion
This drama will make you stay up all day, will not stop consuming until you finish ... a wonderful love story.

First, it is worth watching because of its cinematographic quality, the contrast of lights and colors, as well as its subliminal messages.Cao Pi and his wife, they don't love each other, but destiny wants to connect them, there is a saying in China that there is a red wire that connects each person that can break, but never separates, in the sense that they try to stop the connection , but the tie ties them together.
Strong women are presented to us as the wife of Zhang Chunhua (photo from the beginning) of the main character, but when everything seemed to go well in the drama, it was when the drama fell, with the death of Cao Cao (he is the leader Houseold, Cao's father) Li, Exis in Chinese history (photo below) and Sima Yi gets involved in a love triangle. - And I was thinking that this would be a better drama than Nirvana in Fire, still dreaming of a drama like this.
Even so, I still suggest that you see it because of the Cao Pi-Guo Zhao shippe. The relationship is very worthwhile. I hope part 2 can bring us more about strategy and nation building (and the sons of Sima) instead of unappetizing love triangles.

PLOT
SHIT AND SHIT, VERY CONFUSING AND THE ONLY THING GOOD IS THE ACTING OF ALL CAST AND OF COURSE TEHIR BEAUTIES TOO. THE STORYLINE SUCKS AND IS FROM A NOVEL OF WATPAD OR A FANFIC THAT WENT WRONG. IF YOU ARE A TEEN AND LIKE TOXIC STORIES THIS THE CUP OF TEA.
STORY AND BY RANT HOW I HATE THE FEMALE CHARACTER :
I don't understand why people like this drama. For me is a solid 6. Yes everyone is good at acting, that isnt the problem.. The story and female lead character are. First since when woman going to start love themselves more and stop been okay with everything a man does. This female lead is weak, selfish and suffers all drama. The main lead treats the female like shit , physical assault her all time lets not forget he is the one that forces her to enter a house and gaslight her because she has the eyes of his sister.... Then he dumps her and instated of her trying to accept he wants the one for her she literally forgets herself and start having stalker and manic behaviour she even humiliates herself I am sorry but its time to stop with this kind of toxic love teams, because young teens can be influence and believing love between tow people need to be harsh and full of physical assault and gaslight. PS: The second main leads are cute and very good , I stay for them .
THE BROROMANCE IS VERY GOOD IN FACT THEY SHOULD ALLOW A GAY COUPLE BECAUSE THAT TOW MAN ARE THE BEST TOGETHER.
SO YA 6 OUT OF 10

Love so much and Yang Zi u are a queen
She delivers a courageous performance in this drama, perfectly cross-dressing in a believable male role. In many scenes, don't be afraid to look normal! I chose to continue because she is one of my favourite actresses.The male leads surrounding her are unique and give our FL different emotional and physical experiences. You have the brother, the 'puppy' kind of love offering warmth, the challenger abusive potential lover... If I choose one I would go for XL since he is the best man on the show. XL is a perfect balance of the two, offering her both kindness and challenge. He also manages to bring out the best in her, pushing her to find her inner strength and stand up for herself.
The characters have all gone through some sort of abuse, and loneliness, and are mostly unloved .. and you might find the drama difficult to watch at times. But if you can digest those scenes, you will be rewarded and taken deeply into their world.
I got very hooked up since the beginning of the drama and I couldn't finish because of the end of some characters. So if you're looking for a great show to binge-watch, this drama is definitely worth the time – and the tissue box.

There is no better adjective to set this movie! "The Classic" at first glance may be regarded as more of a cliché novel, of extremely predictable history. And so it is! But no, do not get carried away by it. You know what I think about cliches, do not you? If not, I'll tell you one more time. I do not care what the story comes to tell, I care how the story will be told!
It's not just another teenage romance, it's the teen romance, created to be enjoyed, lived and experienced by young adults who admire the Classics! It is by no means one of those usual American youth love films. The fact is that The Classic is an indispensable film in any Oriental movie collection, especially for those who like Korean romantic cinema or just good love stories with a lot of soul.
The movie is also critical! It portrays rigidly, in every sense of the term, the period of political turmoil that South Korea passed while under the Military Regime. Physical punishment, harassment and other consequences of this form of government. There is still room to demonstrate moments of manifest, in addition to surgically approaching the Vietnam War.
"The Classic" is not just a romance movie, it goes beyond. I could talk even more about the wealth of details that the feature is about to bring, but I would need to split the review into two parts. So see yourself and draw your conclusions.
I have come to believe more in fate and more in chance at the end of the film. The sensations and emotions lead us to the real facts that we are subject in life. ''Not everything is flowers''. There are difficulties, there are obstacles. And the easy way is not always better than that of pain! We all have happy and sad stories!

I simply loved the protagonist of Heartless City as well as the story a super flop drama, but for me a legend.This was the first time that I watched a drama focused on the Korean mafia. Of course, in other dramas I had the opportunity to learn more about the police, historical times and even spies entitled to exciting pursuits and many scenes of struggle, in addition to this topic about corrupt politicians that we have seen in other dramas.
However, I think Heartless City is quite different. First of all there is an anti-hero, then and the way he develops the characters, except for the female door, everything was in place, and the most important thing was that they kept the suspense, but at the same time the drama is all composed of a dark black color, even the lack of light, gives us a feeling of melancholy and cruelty. Heartless City will join my list of bloodiest dramas.
An anti-hero, no less than a man or woman who supposedly does evil in reality is more just than we imagine the case of our portagonist, who protects people, but does not receive credit for his exploits, and who is considered a criminal and a threat to those in power. While the real bad guy is seen as the "fair" in history.
First of all I want to highlight my passion for this actor more specifically the way his complex, mysterious emotional and at the same time distant but full of charm and style, the type of "villain hero" that makes anyone sigh (even me). Shi Hyun's look has always left me so enchanted.
Plot
In this drama of immense role reversal, we will be in doubt and suspicious of all the characters all the time. In this drama there is no definition for good and evil or whoever is good or bad, but another discovery of each character and their intentions. And you will be carried away by emotion and empathy with the characters. No matter what they did badly ... If they loved it, if they were loyal friends, if they protect people ... Then they deserve forgiveness. The opposite also happens ... If they tried to do something good, with the intention of benefiting themselves, they do not deserve our attention or forgiveness. The plot of this drama makes us wonder if the ends really justify the means. It also teaches us some lessons.
The biggest lesson that Heartless City taught me was: Manipulation is a very dangerous and harmful game. Lies can become truths and truths can become lies.
Characters analysis
Jung Shi Hyun / son of the doctor
Jung Shi Hyun was the son of a prostitute addicted to the drug. He never knew his father, but because of his intelligence, he was nicknamed "the doctor's son" because he was said to have probably inherited his father's cunning. Since childhood, he worked as a drug "messenger". Her mother died of an overdose. After that, he was taken to an orphanage and met Kyung Mi, who became a little sister to him. However, Shi Hyun did not spend much time in the orphanage and soon ran away to return to his life. Always accompanied by a prostitute named Lee Jin Sook, who was a friend of his mother, and the drug dealer Safari, who was the "boyfriend" of this prostitute, Shi Hyun grew up with these two as mother and father figures. Shi Hyun always protected Kyung Mi and was not irritated when she decided to become a police officer. In one of his deliveries, Shi Hyun was caught by the police. To his surprise, police officer Min Hong Ki became a proposition: Shi Hyun should become a secret agent with the aim of reporting transactions and capturing the major drug dealers. And from there, Shi becomes an undercover cop., Because of his status as a secret agent, everyone continued to think that Shi Hyun was a drug dealer, since he could not reveal his true identity. Until one day, in one of his drug deals, where the police are involved, Shi Hyun was eventually accused of murdering Kyung Mi, and he could never have committed such a crime, since to her she was like a sister. From there, he starts to be hunted by the police and the whole story revolves around him proving that he is innocent.
Yoo Soon Mi :She grew up in the same orphanage as Kyung Mi and Shi Hyun. She never got to know Shi Hyun because she was still a baby at that time, except that he had run away from the orphanage. Despite growing up as a rebellious girl who only bothered everyone, deep down she just wanted a little attention outside that she had a huge heart and a lot of good humor. Soo Min and Kyung Mi lived as sisters. However, Soo Min was secretly in love with her boyfriend. Soo Min was devastated by the death of her sister and promised to take revenge. So she accepted the proposal to become a secret agent with the intention of capturing the alleged killer of. However, what she could not imagine was that the man she was behind and believed to be the murderer, was actually Shi Hyun, the person she fell in love with, having met him with another identity. Another thing is that I fell in love with this actress, she is super beautiful with a doll, but I must confess that her character was one of the least developed in the drama, she even became a bit childish and boring.
Lee Jin Sook:Drug dealer and ex-prostitute. Owner of a network of "entertainment" clubs. But make no mistake, just because she is a former prostitute does not mean that she is a bad person. In fact, she is one of the strongest and most admirable characters in this drama. She and Soo Min became friends in prison. Jin Sook takes care of our protagonist as if he is a son. For him, she was a great friend and even a "mother". For her, Shi Hyun was more than a friend or child, because over the years, as he grew up, he fell in love with him (I don't blame her, after all, who wouldn't fall in love?). What I loved most about her was when soo min went to work for the entertainment club, she tried in some way to change the course of her life, seriously this woman is a symbol of female entrepreneurship.
Kim Hyun Soo Kim Hyun: Soo come from a wealthy family that ended up going the wrong way. Perhaps his "hunger" for adventure and his willingness to always be face to face with death were the main reasons why he became a criminal. Always so unforgiving and temperamental, Soo is that type of character that you can never hate, even if he is so immature !.
Safari / Moon Duk Bae: In the first few episodes, I hated him with all my strength! However, in the final episodes, there I was, moved by its history. Moon Duk Bae, known by the nickname "Safari", is a heavy drug dealer. aggressive, who committed murder without blinking his eyes, throughout history goes from being a father figure of Shi Hyun to his tormentor, who wants to kill him at any cost. Following the orders of the great chief "Busan", Safari goes in search of the head of the doctor's son. However, Safari is not what it appears to be.
Romance
One thing I loved about their relationship was the trust they had in each other. Soo Min trusted Shi Hyun too much. She didn't even know his name and she still trusted him! And another thing that I also loved were the bed scenes where I could feel their connection, since outside I didn't feel very much about the drama being 8 and not a 10. Imagine the situation: falling in love with a person without knowing who he is, and don't even know his name, but still trust him more than anyone else. That's what happened to me with Soo Min. Suddenly, a strange man saved her from an assault and, from then on, she became interested in him. When she saw him again, she simply gave him his phone number, and the day after they met again, they had a drink and spent a hot night together.
Final
In the first episode, you become addicted. I found out what could happen in the end. But the worst thing is that, when I approached the last episodes, I was dying of distress. Even though I knew the possibilities, I was extremely devastated when these things happened. I cried so much in the last episode that I was surprised myself. SPOILER-When Soo died in the last episode, it was the moment I cried the most. END OF SPOILER. Their friendship was one of the best brothers I have ever seen and I knew that Shi Hyun's biggest pain would be if he lost his best friend. In the final confrontation between Shi Hyun and Min Hong Ki, it was quite obvious that one or both would end up dead. However, despite being an end that I expected, it hurt my soul!
Well, guys, I think that's it. This review was made too big, huh? Hahaha When the review is excellent it is because I really liked the drama!
