Bin bian bu shi hai tang hong

Just finished watching Winter Begonia and I gotta say, this drama has it ALL.

It's perfect in every way, visually stunning, soundtracks and OSTs are beautiful...the Plot is SO Beautifully laid out. It has everything: Comedy, Drama, Tragedy, Bromance, True Love, Cheesy romantic lines, everything. The characters are all SO on point, there is not a single moment I fast forwarded. The leads Yin Zheng and Huang Xiaoming have given such breathtaking and refreshing performances, it made me wish this drama was longer than 49 episodes. I am generally a little wary of Cdramas set in the Early 90s...But this show really focuses on Lives of Opera artists as well as the relationship between rich Businessman Cheng Feng Tai & Opera Artist Shang Xi Rui!

In my opinion, Winter Begonia really pushed boundaries and low-key crossed the thin line that separates BL from Bromance to the point where it shocks you how this even passed censorship! PS; I've always found Peking Opera fascinating because of their make-up and costumes but this show made me really appreciate the music and singing...Turns out, the only thing one needs to respect and appreciate Peking Opera was English Subtitles :P
