"Going South" makes the audience feel the loyalty of southern cadres to the party and the people and their dedication to building a new China. Among them, Sophie Su and Yu Zhen, a couple who came together because of the same faith and firm revolutionary enthusiasm, are more infectious. Unfortunately, from a realistic point of view, Wei is an out-and-out good party member, but his professional experience can be said to be a typical negative textbook in the current workplace (Tencent Entertainment Review).

Generally speaking, "South" is a qualified TV series, mainly because the characters are set well. The war scene of the play is general, and the stories such as economic work are also superficial. It's just that the emotional drama is more brilliant. It is a love+family ethics drama (Netease Entertainment Review) covered with the main theme coat.

"South to South" got rid of the embarrassing situation that similar works are easy to fall into boring and lengthy, without preaching and slogans, and paid more attention to the fate, feelings and humanity of the characters. The play not only shows the history of the Southern Expedition, but also shows people's living state and consciousness in this history, as well as Wei's heroic spirit of "giving up who I am". The legendary experience of Tsingtao beer "going its own way"; Xingtian's "persistent" revolutionary courage went deep into the hearts of the audience and greatly expanded the observable elements of the play (Sina Entertainment Review).

South China does not deliberately exaggerate or avoid the shortcomings of human nature. Very close to life, with clever role setting and rich and delicate emotional drama to avoid superficiality. Reasonable character setting also makes the lines of this drama not make the audience feel too slogan (comments of Sanqin Metropolis Daily).

"Going South" is weak in the performance of war scenes, but it is really much more handy in controlling economic wars, thanks to the handling of details (Changjiang Daily Review).
