Celluloid Verdict
Wong Kar-wai's first major television work is a sensory triumph — Hu Ge anchors a nostalgic Shanghai tapestry that dominated Magnolia 2024 and proved the auteur's romantic grammar could scale to serial form without losing its ache.

What is Blossoms Shanghai about?
Wong Kar-wai adapts Jin Yucheng's novel into a luminous 1990s Shanghai saga where restaurateur A Bao navigates love, commerce, and memory across a city transforming at breakneck speed — a period mosaic of neon longing and missed connections that swept the Magnolia Awards.

Blossoms Shanghai (2024) Review: Wong Kar-wai Goes Long
★★★★½
Blossoms Shanghai is Wong Kar-wai's first TV series, a lush 30-episode saga of money, love and memory in 1990s Shanghai, anchored by a magnetic Hu Ge.
Yes. It is a gorgeous, ambitious drama for Wong Kar-wai admirers and patient viewers who enjoy period sagas, though its length and elliptical plotting demand commitment.
