Meng zhong de na pian hai

A rarely seen period of Chinese history, right after the Cultural Revolution throughout the next few decades is shown to us through the ups and downs of the main character, Xiao Chunsheng, and the people whose lives intersect with his. Written and produced by people who have lived it all in Beijing, it has a very authentic feel that will give us a glimpse of China of that time and the huge expansion that ultimately followed.

The characters are individual and distinct, with their own histories, joys and hurts. There is no exaggeration in emotion or situation. It is a realistic portrait of humans who are struggling to make the best possible decisions in trying times. The director and scriptwriter have a delicate, subtle touch as they weave this story of showing us who these characters are and what place shaped them so.

Led by a great performance of the Chinese star Xiao Zhan, who masterfully depicts the maturation and development of Chunsheng, the whole cast gives an excellent performance while bringing this era to life before our eyes. They wander the streets of Beijing, fall in love, struggle, fall and get up after life inevitably strikes them down, all accompanied by a magnificent instrumental BGM that provides an appropriate sense of nostalgia. Give it a try, you won't be sorry.

Excellent worldbuilding. In one or two episodes I was transported to 1970s Beijing. The cinematography is excellent. Just excellent.

Fast but good pacing-quick and they manage to tell a story without too much extra scenes.

Well written and well acted characters. This is what makes the show amazing. With the power of great screenwriting and well written dialogue, you will immediately grasp the characters. They are fully realized, characters with motivations and different paths.

In one episode, I was in love. Especially with the main male lead. Well done! If youre here for the male lead, you def wont be disappointed (he is so handsome, his acting is so good such a well fit for the young man he portrays) . All the characters were well acted too. I know they took attention to detail. I can even hear the Beijing accent! The team did well with casting the actors and actresses. I also liked the ending song very melodic and enjoyable.

Overall, absolutely recommend. If you are a beginner to cdrama GO WATCH THIS NOW.

Congratulations to actor Xiao Zhan for his outstanding performance, and congratulations to the film crew for reaping the deserved fruits of their efforts. "Life doesn't just stop at Thap Sat Hai, beyond it lies the vast world." Thank you, Xiao Chun Sheng, for coming and using your perseverance, loyalty, and kind heart to convince everyone. Farewell, Xiao Chun Sheng. Xiao Zhan will continue to explore different worlds, different stories, and undoubtedly achieve even greater success.

A film about the journey of adulthood and contemplation of the changing times in a man's life from his twenties to his twilight years. One might think it's just an ordinary story, but it turns out to encompass many tales of human existence and timeless moral principles.

I've been waiting for this drama since the moment it started filming, so I was looking forward to it a lot, but I didn't expect it to fall in love with it so deeply. It's really a great drama. All the characters have their own stories and struggles. You can't hate any character because each one has its own reason. It's a drama I haven't missed a second of. It's simply worth all the time and effort. No wonder it's receiving so much attention even though it aired yesterday. I'm looking forward to every next episode. Finally, thank you Xiao Zhan for choosing to play this character. I found a drama with amazing people.

Am at episode 6 right now. So far, the story line of The Youth Memories (also known as Where Dreams Begin) is very engaging with its realistic plots and authenticity of environment. Most impressive is the acting by the whole cast. The cast blended well to portray life's uncertainties, but always with an element of hope. Special mention is the male lead, Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan portrayed ChunSheng as this affectionate, high-spirited, positive, bold, brave and quick-witted guy who is big brother to everyone. Xiao Zhan's realistic performance draws the audience into his fold, and you can't help but root for Xiao ChunSheng as he holds his friends and family unit together. I am looking forward to the rest of the story.
