I stumbled upon Hard To Find (难寻) on YouTube and again, the short length attracted me to give it a try. Each episode is only 20 minutes long and that kept me interested all the way to the end. Frankly, I was surprised by the quality and intensity of this short drama. This proves that you don't need big stars and a huge budget to create a great production. Essentially, it … [Read more...] about Hard To Find Review
