Sun Flower

When Xiangyang was ten years old, his grandmother passed away, and he went to live with his father. Father and son used to be strangers but now they gradually get along very well. In order to help his family lead a better life, the father goes away from home to find work. Xiangyang was misunderstood by his stepmother, and he left home to find his father. He finds that his father died in a mine and Xiangyang has to raise the poor family.

My take

A quietly devastating portrait of resilience and family bonds forged through hardship. This is the kind of drama that sits with you—intimate, emotionally raw, and ultimately about finding strength when everything is taken away.
