Editor's Review
In the bustling city of Shanghai during the early 1930s, various forces surged, and society was in turmoil. Against this backdrop, Ding Yi Qing, the daughter of a wealthy Ningbo businessman, embarked on a journey to find her missing brother. Little did she know that her business acumen would lead her down the path of revolution.
The drama introduces us to Ding Yi Qing (YQ) and Lin Mo Sheng (MS). Their romance unfolds amidst the chaos of the era, where political intrigue, power struggles, and personal sacrifices intertwine. YQ’s journey takes unexpected turns as she encounters hope, despair, and the weight of responsibility.
The (+) for this short drama lies in its concise storytelling. Unlike some Revolution-era dramas that drag out their narratives, “Great Miss D” maintains a clear beginning, middle, and end. The pacing, however, jumps between time periods—usually spanning four years each—resulting in occasional gaps and missed opportunities for deeper character development.
The romance between YQ and MS is bittersweet, reflective of the challenging circumstances they face. While the drama touches on revolutionary themes, it doesn’t delve deeply into espionage or political intrigue. Instead, it focuses on the personal struggles and growth of its protagonists.
The synopsis suggests that YQ eventually takes over the baton from Miss D, vowing to bring prosperity to the younger generation. However, this transition feels somewhat shallow and lacks convincing motivation. Nevertheless, the drama provides a glimpse into the historical context of 1930s Shanghai, offering viewers a snapshot of that tumultuous time.
Overall, “Great Miss D” is a compact drama that won’t overwhelm your watchlist. If you’re interested in a brief overview of the era and appreciate concise storytelling, this drama is worth considering.
