Painful yet beautiful Storytelling.
The story telling is just phenomenal here, I love the pace of the story and the way new characters are introduced into the story. Speaking of the acting, I don't know where to begin Zhao Lusi as usual delivers a breathtaking performance, and this drama is no different, the way she cries, you feel the pain first hand, the rest of cast is also amazing. I would like to say close representation of struggle of people of that time but it does have a few elements that lead me to believe otherwise. All in all a good and interesting watch.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

A MERMAID'S TEARS
Bold, compelling, intriguing... The Story of Pearl Girl is weaving a tale that you certainly do NOT want to miss!2024 hasn't been donating the best Cdramas so far with few exceptions.. but I'm glad this came along. A pretty decent watch!
Everyone sees the beauty of pearl. They view it with admiration of it's beautiful and excellence but no one seems to know what people go through to get it. Even setting their lives on the line for it. The motto thus being: Dive or die. And so Duanwu emerges from the many pearl divers of this land with the mantra "I want to change my fate" taking on the brave role of working towards it.
A Captivating journey is woven, our female lead steps forward, taking every STEP POSSIBLE to obtain that freedom, even if it's to put her life on the line for that freedom.
The Plot is RAW, A POWERFUL AND EMOTIONAL narrative of a slave girl on a quest for true freedom and redemption. Sailing on a journey of the ups and down on the harsh business world dominated by cunning Men. It's an interesting adventure that draws you in an intimate attachment to our female character, Duanwu. The flow of the plot is Smooth. It's just right for what Is needed. Her development so far is natural, raw yet appealingly driving. It's a powerful plot focussed on our female lead's journey in a quest for redemption where she walks up the ladder of the business world and capturing the power at the top. And Fights to keep it.
Duanwu isn't ONLY a smart Witty girl who works with her brain to scheme and conquer. She IS PHYSICALLY FIT! our girl can fight! She can beat up scumbag men, she can kick ass YASS now that's something you don't see always for such female lead set-up. She isn't afraid of physical actions, she takes risks and slays at it!
The characters in the show are truly compelling. Not all though but the mains are truly something to look forward to. Zhao Lusi has my damn jaws on the floor with the execution of her character. Honestly she did better than expected. She engrossed herself into the role and perfectly embodied the character so well that you could See DUANWU in her. It's no wonder she Fought for this drama and role (since 2022 or so) ( she said she loved the character so much) and I can see how she's perfectly bringing the role to life. I'm honestly impressed.
Our male lead is a complex character worth of study alongside another drama I find interesting, The tomboy. She is certainly a grey interesting character that's always worth being on the lookout for.
Our tomboy ( forget her name haha) is a lady on a quest to make her stand in a toxic male dominated business world. And she is gonna do Anything for that.
The characters here are complex and interesting. Well... Except the 2nd lead who is ..well predictable goodie boy lol ( all righteous) I sorta find his character... dull. But let's see if he gets better I guess.
But Amidst his full character I think the two male leads add value to the female leads journey. Our male lead teaching her on the harsh realities of the business world and harshly training her for it. While the 2nd leads takes her on a morally correct ethics of life. A perfect blend.
Cinematograohy wise, This drama is decent for the genre. It isn't flashy as for a fantasy but for a historical drama of Such category, it's pretty nice. And the UNDERWATER SCENES WERE CHEF KISS. I can't believe it was filmed in a real life water! Excellent! No wonder it was so realistically done. Beautiful.
The Ost of this drama is suiting for the concept of the drama. not by best lineup of Ost but it's actually decent. Especially the Opening theme.
If you're contemplating if you should watch this drama, I'd recommend you check out the first two episodes. Ep1 captivated me at the go! So I believe these two episodes are enough for you to judge. Although I'm confident it'll hook you. You should check clips and see if the genres are something that you'll like, if so then I think you'll love this. It's gripping indeed and overall worth the time.

masterpiece
i didn’t expect it to be this dark and complex, but seriously, it’s a masterpiece. Lusi’s acting is spot-on, and Li Yuning is fantastic. The storyline is incredible—not a single boring episode. And that intro scene with her diving into the sea? Stunning, like a real-life Little Mermaid. I’m lowkey obsessed with the cinematography; every shot is so crisp, dreamy, and feels like art in motion. Duanwu is so brave and beautiful. From Episode 1 to 4, I’m an emotional wreck—just give Duanwu a break, please! ?Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

PEARL Girl is a different plot from other costume
where should I start? My bias is zhao lusi, maybe other viewers will think I'm a little biased? but I've been watching dramas since I was little, so I'll try my best to write an honest review without biasSo where do I start? Let's start from when they were filming this drama in winter last year. We already know the scene in the water, Zhao Lusi herself was the one who swam and dived into the water, that's why the scene in the water looks very realistic, there is one fact you need to know. that before this drama was filmed zhao lusi was not good at swimming, but for the sake of this role, she learned to swim and dive into the water, she also had to act in the water, therefore I think she deserves an award for that. in this drama, everyone already knows that the quality of this drama is really good, the chemistry between the leads is also very beautiful, the characters are written well, Liu Yu Ning also plays his character so well. The plot of this drama is different from others, this drama is something new. I hope people can appreciate this drama

One of A Great Drama of the Year
I usually rarely write reviews, but this time I felt like writing a review because this drama deserves the best, I followed the development of this drama from the first day of shooting the drama until the drama was broadcast today,as you know, this drama has gone through many phases from good rumors to bad rumors, various parties really want this drama to fail, this incident is truly unpleasant and unfair, I don't want to see a drama as good as this just be wasted. , there have been too many failed dramas this year. I just hope people can appreciate this good drama.

A Unique Captivating Topic on Pearl Diving Set Historically
Every actor, whether playing a main, supporting, or guest role, delivers such an outstanding performance that it elevates the overall experience of the show. The commitment to their craft and the depth they bring to their characters make every scene engaging and full of emotion, making the production well worth the watch.The main actors (ZLS. LYN) set a high standard with their nuanced portrayals, drawing viewers into the complexities of their journeys. Their dedication to bringing their characters to life is palpable, making their performances memorable and striking. They handle intense moments with grace and execute subtle scenes with just as much impact, keeping the audience emotionally invested throughout.
Supporting actors, often the unsung heroes of any story, truly shine here. They enrich the narrative, offering moments of humor, tension, or heartfelt connection that give the story layers. Their presence never feels secondary; instead, they blend seamlessly into the story, adding to the richness of the storytelling. Their performances help paint a more complete and immersive world, making every interaction between characters feel genuine and meaningful.
Even the guest actors, who may have limited screen time, leave a lasting impression. They bring energy, authenticity, and sometimes surprises, ensuring their roles, however brief, are memorable. It’s not easy to make a mark in a short amount of time, but they rise to the occasion, making their scenes shine.
Together, the ensemble creates a truly remarkable viewing experience. The chemistry among the cast members is undeniable, adding another layer of depth to the production. This collaboration and the high level of performance across the board make the show or film something truly special. It’s not often that a cast comes together so perfectly, making this project a definite must-watch.
PS: ZLS rocks in this drama as always. It's truly as good as it was promised to be.

Worth the Buzz
I sometimes have the premonition that when something is hyped, it’s most likely not worth it. Honestly the over posting about the drama beforehand got annoying that I considered unfollowing some platforms. Fast forward, I tuned in right away when it aired, and I’m blown away at how much I am enjoying it. My gosh first episode had me so invested I was so impressed with the cinematic quality. It’s like the real life scene of the animated Ariel under the sea . Bravo well done.So much attention is given to main leads (deservedly so) but really though, everyone of the cast and their contributions deserve applause. I watch the older veterans and am so impressed at how they do so well with their lines and acting their parts. What to do without them right? So grateful for their work.
Production team did really well planning out each scene that the story flow is great as we can easily follow the story of the enslaved pearl harvester heroine. Lusi really put in the work to her character as she is shining. In fairness, as I’ve said, everyone is playing their role really well.
Join in the fun as the story unravels. It’s a fun ride and of course we got long ways to go but so far, it’s a very promising story that hopefully will end as it started, on a very high bar.
