Shanghai word-of-mouth flowering
Word of mouth is generally good. The play mainly shows the life in the alleys of Shanghai, and shows a picture of Shanghai-style life with Shanghai as the main body. The lens language of the play is very distinctive, and the director has fully demonstrated Wong Kar-wai-style photography and visual effects, which is refreshing. The plot is compact, the characters are vivid, and the actors perform well, especially Hugh, Ma Yili and Tang Yan.
However, some viewers think that the rhythm of the play is a bit slow, and some plots are a bit slow. In addition, because the drama mainly shows the life in the alleys of Shanghai, some viewers think that the plot is too small and lacks enough drama tension. But on the whole, Flowers in Shanghai is very good in many aspects, and it is a TV series worth watching.
