Wong is in the world of conventional melodrama here rather than the rarefied, allusive landscape of his films, and his touch is off. He gets the look he’s going for, but he isn’t able to maintain anything distinctive in terms of mood or tone; if the series has a tone, it’s a shiny, commercial blandness. .... It is visually enveloping, if not in a notably rich or interesting way.

In the end, while it can be tough to care about the financial wheelings and dealings of Mr. Bao on a micro level, it’s very easy to enjoy his story on a macro one. As crazy as it sounds, the details don’t matter as much as the mood.

Between dense dialogue and inconsistencies in filming, Blossoms Shanghai is flawed. It's not a masterpiece, and, honestly, the project has caused more headaches for Wong than it's likely worth, but that doesn't mean it's bad. In fact, what makes it good, especially as it ramps up its plot and starts to bring all its players into the main narrative, far overshadows the problems permeating the series.
