San Ke Shu (2024)

Good story and great acting from the entire ensemble, especially Bai Jing Ting.

Always on the Move is a melodrama about railroad policemen solving crimes on the train and their relationship with the passengers from the 1970s to the present day. It also reviewed the revolution of the railroad industry in China. It is a good drama about the revolving relationship between the Ningyang and the Hacheng community.

The Synopsis:
In the late 1970s, on the steam train from Ningyang to Hacheng, young conductor Wang Xin diligently performed his duties among the bustling passengers. Mistaking the old railway policeman Ma Kui for a fugitive, they began an unlikely mentor-disciple relationship.

From initial dislike to mutual respect, Wang Xin and Ma Kui fought side by side on the front line of railway public security. They tackled issues such as theft, abduction, drug enforcement, patrolling, and combating thefts and robberies, prioritizing every passenger's safety, and selflessly safeguarding the security of trains traveling north and south.

Wang Xin and Ma Kui passed on the torch of railway police across generations, witnessing the development of China's railways from steam locomotives to electric locomotives and then to high-speed trains, seeing the rapid changes in China.

My Reviews:
1. The acting is good for the entire ensemble, especially Bai Jing Ting. I have not seen him in a very emotional scene where he showed his crying. He did a great job in this drama in episode 38, where his father-in-law died (spoiler alert)
2. There is little romance between Bai Jing Ting and Gina Jin's characters. It was implied that there was only one scene where they both kissed; other than that, only a little kissing between the main CP.
3. The drama focused on Wang Xin and Ma Kui's mentor and mentee relationship.
4. The link between the Ningyang and Hacheng communities was interesting and engaging.
5. The drama was slow and a bit long, but I didn't get bored. There are a few funny scenes,

Overall, I enjoy this drama and am giving it an 8.0 rating.

Didn't expect to enjoy this drama as much a I did but yes, it was thoroughly enjoyable and the pulled me in from the start. Watched it while it was airing and watching it again now as there were some pieces I missed out and did not get at the first watch - the bane of being a non-chinese speaker and having to rely on subtitles. Sometimes you're concentrating so much on subtitles, you miss the scenes and the acting !

I started my watched of course because of BJT, but the story, set, cinematography and the whole cast - everyone of them no matter how small their role made the story bigger and better as whole.

Loved the relationships, the progress and unfolding of cases (though 1 in particular could have been done much, much better), the character development and how things were tied up at the end. Would have loved a happier ending for 2 characters in particular but I guess a drama isn't a drama if everything is too fine and dandy. I don't mind though honestly haha.
