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.

Will not entertain You!!!
Yes,this show is no good if you want a watchable experience,except that It is unique character of pearl diver female lead(only 2 ep and rest was thinking i was pearl diver back then),The biggest drawback(I felt) was this is like a game finished this level, ok what is next and that too "boring",For this kind of a drama,one expects most of characters to be intro at a max of 8 episodes,And in this new characters show up even after 24,Vague story line,Big disappointment after scenes in Yangzhou, Irritating antagonists,bad triangle among leads, I tried watching it for LYN but can't continue I wish LYN to select character based scriptsVond je deze recentie nuttig?
BRTV interview
In response to BRTV who pointed out how #ZhaoLusi always cares about others' feelings. While shooting #TheStoryOfPearlGirl underwater scene, despite shivering from the cold, she kept saying "It's fine" and continued to cheer everyone up ☀️"It was a situation where an Introvert person like me needed to act like an Extrovert. I just thought that the conditions were already so toilsome and I'm already the one being taken care of. So if I'm still unhappy at that point in time, everyone else will be feeling uncomfortable too.
Working with discomfort is still a day, and working with happiness is also a day. A day is a day. So I thought I should just share some positivity."

Eu esperava muito desse drama, pois Liu Yu Ning e Zhao Lu Si roubaram as cenas dos protagonistas em The long ballad, mas o roteiro não colaborou para as belas atuações dos atores. A edição parece um amontoado de cenas, algumas muito mal acabadas. Já assisti outros trabalhos do mesmo diretor e eram bons, mas nesse ele errou em cheio. As canções que compõem a trilha sonora são agradáveis, mas não foram bem utilizadas, gerando pouco ou nenhum impacto na emoção das cenas. Na cena em que são emboscados ao sair da fortaleza, desconfiei que Yu Chi Wu Yi era o traidor, portanto, nenhuma surpresa nos capítulos finais, o mesmo aconteceu aconteceu com o príncipe Ying, quando eles chegam em Yangzhou e ficam sabendo que Xu Nan Ying foi nomeado para um alto cargo pelo príncipe, tinha certeza que ele estava envolvido no massacre da família Yan, portanto, nenhuma surpresa quando isso é confirmado no final. A morte do protagonista masculino eram favas contadas e eu esperava uma cena emocionante, mas não houve, ao contrário, somente o anel dele no dedo dela dá a entender que ele morreu ou foi embora para morrer longe dela. O final pode ser comparado a água: incolor, insípido e inodoro.Só consegui assistir aos 40 capítulos pelo mérito das excelentes atuações dos atores.

A drama worthy of your emotions.
This is the first time a drama has affected me so much. The feeling of stopping and letting go of my hurt first before I continue, I cried when they both cried and was really hurt looking at Zhao Lusi so devastated because LYN was holding another woman. I was also angry at him when he shouted at her being taken home by the scholar yet she always stay humble. The drama LLtG was good but this one is great. LLtG's story is not so tortuous unlike the SoPG where you want to watch but is hesitant because you are also protecting your own emotions. The scenes are wonderful and the soundtracks are fitting. In this drama, ZL and LYN will bring you to their make believe world through their amazing acting and real life romance. This drama is worth your time and emotions.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
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.

The Emotional Rollercoaster you don’t want to get off! Zhao Lusi Delivers EVERYTIME
So far… I felt the emotion of each character that if it ends as a tragic love story, I would completely understand why. From the very first episode, Duanwu is no punk! I love how Duanwu as a character even though she is naive in some aspects ai ly because she’s grown up in the Pearl farm but she’s also exceptionally smart for someone who has had to Literally fight for everything she’s ever had. The fire in her eyes is that of a survivor! She’s realistic. So far we’re seeing the development of an intimate storyline between ML and FL and it’s one of understanding, they’re from the same world, they make sense together. In the same light we’re seeing the expressions of interest to the FL by the SML and she’s shut him down at every turn. Like I said, she’s no punk so she’s not going to feed into his sugarcoated sweet talk! I love this aspect of the drama especially because there’s no dilly dallying of leading the SML on just to have an unnecessary additional plot line! She knows that in the world they live in, they could never work! I especially loved when she challenged SML when he spoke of the mermaid and the scholar story! She’s an ambitious dreamer in the sense that she knows what she wants and she’s not afraid to Grab it. She’s realistic (see her interactions with SML and his advances) and she doesn’t believe in fairytales which is what I’m sensing from the SML! I loved when his attendant asked him if he would be willing to go against his family for her, and judging by his character, a person who at every turn seems to do what is right, he probably wouldn’t.Her journey with ML leaves us as viewer anticipating and trying to guess if they will make it! You may be thinking, why should she fall for someone who essentially abused her physically from the day he met her, but again this story is not that of roses and fairytales! KJ explains that he wanted her to become resilient because that’s essentially how he grew up. Then we get to see a little bit of insight into his survival story and we realise the beating she received at his hands was cherries compared to the tragedy he faced to become who he is. Again ML and FL make perfect sense together… there’s no other way to describe it!
Every single character so far in this drama has understood the assignment and has delivered! There has been no miss-cast and the drama engages you from the first scene in the first episode, I mean get your tissues ready. You’re thrown into a world that’s completely different from other CDramas! I think the story really sheds light into what life was like for the majority of people back then, because it wasn’t all fairies and a fight for the throne and power! There were people who were killed senselessly, kidnapped and thrown into slavery, tortured, raped etc! We get thrown into a world in cdrama that we as viewers are not particularly familiar with because most stories are usually toned down or they are Palace dramas so we know what to expect. With TSOPG we don’t know what to expect so it allows us to relate to FL even more because she’s taking us on that journey.
The soundtrack 10/10
The visuals 10/10
Casting 10/10
This show has been amazing so far and I really hope the momentum continues to build until the very end. I’m giving it an early 10 stars because of how captivated I have been from the first episode. I mean I was crying from episode one, I’ve laughed with them as well and I’ve cried again. The casting is EXCEPTIONAL! Ms ZLS NEVER DISAPPOINTS.

Great start however
I was excited and so looking forward to this series, the outline of the story was interesting and had real potential but i think in the end it failed to deliver . FL is a good actress and i really like ML Lui Yunning. so what could go wrong.I felt the start was really really good and interesting and kept me waiting for the next episode but it started to drift. The actors did the best job they could with what i think was a confusing and chaotic story line and script. Or maybe it just wasn't for me. it was in the middle i felt it became lost so the writers threw everything at it, unfortunately it just meant that the middle part was not realistic and neither was it survivable. There it lost me. i did go back and watch the remaining episodes but not with the same enthusiasm that i had at the start.
I think the writers became lost so decided to throw every conceivable plot against the main characters, so it lost its appeal. when you are lost you should keep it simple, The actors are certainly good enough so they could showcase their talents, they did not need to be swamped with the chaos that followed.
I still feel a little cross and sad about it, Excellent actors, great story, what could go wrong.

It is a story that will give mental energy to those who are struggling in life.
duan wu is like the pearl carefully picked by zhao lusi ࿐࿔through her character as duanwu, she left behind the most beautiful version of herself!
duan wu, like a pearl polished by the waves and sand, had her resilience and beauty brought to life by lusi's empathetic acting
whether it was her stubborn, unyielding tears while fighting against injustice, her sharpness in a breathtaking dance, or when she firmly told zhang langjun, "we are both fundamentally different," we could all see how much lusi cherished and deeply understood this character.
it is duan wu’s resilience and vivacity that makes this role unforgettable!
throughout the process, lusi embodied duan wu’s line: "women should not be bound by the fate spoken of by others." she grew with duan wu, accompanying her from resisting fate to reconciling with herself, completing her own transformation.
just like how sand turns into a pearl, lusi showcased the strength of women and the right to make their own choices. lusi became even more radiant because of duan wu, and with her sincere heart, she continues to sail forward in her acting journey 𓂃 𓈒𓏸
may both duan wu and lusi always shine like the sun, lighting the path ahead ☀️

A good show
I just finished watching it and I loved everything about it except for the ending. they give us this heartfelt journey where we watch duanwu escape from the pearl farm and become her own person and an outstanding businesswoman by none other then our male lead Yan zijan. I have watched every episode with full interest. It does not leave you bored whatsoever.The story has a few interesting twists, some betrayals that you did not see coming. The only thing I didn't like in particular was the ending. It leaves you with an open ending where you just know Yan Zijan died and Duanwu is out travelling the world for over 40 years. we only see her convoy travelling.
Despite the ending however it is worth a watch. the chemistry between the two leads was on point from the very beginning. Zhao Lusi her performance was top tier and her character portrayal was on point. It's nothing like her usual characters that she plays but she did an excellent job. She plays a strong, arrogant (in the beginning) independent woman, with a clever mind and isn't afraid to take risks no matter what. I love watching her acting but this one was by far one of her best performances in my opinion.
The male lead also did not disappoint either. He portrayed Yan Zijan with grace and ease. I know there was many controversy around him being cast but I think it was the perfect fit. He did it as a favour to the producer and he did not disappoint in the slightest. He brought his character to life in the best way possible.
The romance between the two felt so natural and so real. it didn't feel forced and it was very enjoyable to watch. of course we should not ignore the other actors who did their very best in bringing there characters to life.
in short this drama is an absolute must watch. you won't feel bored and you'll immediately get dragged into it fully invested by the end of episode 1!
