Ying tao hu po

I really loved the drama, especially because of Zhang Ling He and Zhao Jinmai - their chemistry as a couple was top-notch, and their acting performances were excellent. I also really enjoyed seeing them together in Princess Royal.

Our Generation had impressive visuals, good direction, and well-executed acting. However, there were a few shortcomings. The editing and pacing felt rushed at the end, and parts of the storyline seemed cut or left incomplete. Some important scenes appeared to be missing, while certain supporting characters received too much focus compared to the main plot. I think this has become a recurring issue with many recent Chinese dramas - they tend to cut too much content, especially toward the end. The pacing suddenly speeds up, and instead of fully developing the main storyline or giving viewers the closure they're hoping for, everything feels rushed. It often seems like they're just trying to quickly wrap things up, which leaves a lot of important moments either missing or underdeveloped.

That said, overall it was still an enjoyable drama - mainly thanks to the strong performances and amazing chemistry between the lead actors. They truly carried the story and made it worth watching.

Really slow. Boring dialogs. Their everyday lives were really hard to watch. Also, I didn't quite like the main characters' personalities. I couldn't feel any emotions watching their characters developing. I had to skip a couple of episodes. I liked only the last two episodes. I wouldn't raccomend watching. To mean, the FL wasn't bubbly enough. The group of friends (5 of them)were only talking about school grades, they were never doing anything fun outside the school. Finally, the ML was to old for this role, I really couldn't see him as a high school student.

The series shines through its layered characters. The audience watches them mature and make decisions that feel authentic, painful, and at times inspiring. A poignant and nostalgic journey through the trials of youth in a changing nation. The cast did a wonderful job delivering the characters. Both actresses potraying young YingTao and adult Yingtao did especially good job carrying one of the standout characters in Our Generation, and arguably one of its most emotionally complex. She's not the central protagonist, but her presence adds significant emotional depth and a sharp contrast to the other characters, especially in how she navigates societal expectations, personal ambition, and emotional resilience. They did great job at it. All in all this series is a must watch for lovers of emotional, character-driven dramas.

NOTE: These are just my opinions! You don't have to like/agree with anything I said, because I'm just one person.

The romanticization of the self-sacrificial heroine is a big no no for me.

The story was bad. The actors seemed to have zero chemistry and it should have been 10 episodes on the very max.

It's such a beautiful drama. I am 34 year old woman and I have seen good dramas but this is the first one I came here especially to review such a beautiful series with raw emotions. It contained a complete journey beautifully covered. It also gives u hope that things eventually get better in life. Loved it.
