Directed by renowned Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-wai, “Blossoms Shanghai” is an adaptation of Shanghai writer Jin Yucheng’s award-winning novel “Blossoms.” The 30-episode series vividly depicts the business milieu and neighborhood life of 1990s Shanghai. The unfolding storylines and character arcs are complemented by classic songs, now compiled into an album by Universal Music.
