Reviews
A total of 34 Episodes is just nice. The flow is good, casts played their roles well, the scenes really dictates the late eighties and nineties in a harsh environment. I finished the drama with a complete sense of satisfaction. The OST ending song is really nice with a fantastic voice matching the times.
Besides the lead actress and a few others who are elegant and pretty the others are all down to earth but they played their parts very well making this a very highly rated drama in the home country. I happened to watch one of Yan Dan Chen’s drama lately by chance as she is not really in the limelight like the idol stars but found her to be a hidden gem and playing the lead role extremely well. That lead me to watch this drama. The backdrop is the great plains of Norther China and Mongolia and the great desert. Weather conditions were extremely harsh and people can hardly make a living. Small companies come and go and the dairy industry is one of the main source of making a living. The opening up of government ownership to private and attracting foreign investments in the 90s sprung up an opportunity for a group of young people who took over a bankrupt milk factory and developed it into world class. The story also does not equate success with just money. It is the self-fulfilment and actualisation of ones dreams that determine success. The thought of converting a vast desert to an oasis and green plains seems an impossible tasks meant for the gods of mercy.
Work, money, characters and individual ambitions can override love, family and loyalty. Success also comes with a lot failures and sacrifices along the way before it triumphed to a world class company. You just cannot have the cake and eat it too.
This drama is worth watching and if you like watching the first few episodes you will likely complete it …… This is definitely a fresh change from most of the recent themes that are overrated, messy and disjointed.
