A light hearted drama

Firstly the story starts off with Xu Hong dou,the female protagonist,being depressed with the demise of her best friend and then decides to go on a trip to Yunnan, where she makes new friends and her life changes forever.
What attracted me the most in this drama is it's cinematography.The locales were scenic,very relaxing and pleasing to the eyes!!
Liu Yifei as Xu Hong Dou is apt for the role.
Li Xian as the male lead was good in his acting.All their friends were good.
The friendship development between all of them was nice .
This drama also teaches us to never lose hope in life,also find your place of peace and happiness and always follow your heart.
Particularly I liked the character of Granny Xie and her bonding with her grandson Xie Zhi Yao.
The music and background also are nice.
Overall a worth watching drama.Watch it for a relaxing change in your busy life.

Meet yourself…but not in this series

I tried. I tried so hard. I love Li Xian. Liu Yei Fei is good. Why didn’t this work??! Because…. NOTHING HAPPENS. You have 40 episodes- 40 hours of nothing but promotional tourism. This isn’t slice of life. Just a slice of NOTHING. It’s so unbelievably SLOW and boring. I didn’t care for any of the characters or storylines. They tried so hard to make this into an in-depth and endearing series but it’s flat and empty. I couldn’t go on . It’s rated so high but fell so short. I don’t understand the hype at all

Love it!

I love it!!! I love it!!! I love it!!!
I so love the children!
All the actors are fantastic!
They play well.
The countryside is great and I saw the tye dye fabric from the Bai women! Makes me want to go there and learn!
I love how the women are dressed.
There's friendships, some trials and no rivalry.
Episode 9 : palmier comes from France, not Shangai.
I would rewatch it for sure.
This serie is good for the soul.
I have not much to say that I give it a 10 in all points!

Tempo super slow. Vague characters esp. in support roles. Selling point is just the scenery.

The story progresses super slow. I could watch it with full attention for only 10 minutes then I had to go with 2x speed, but that's still too slow. In the end, I had to go faster or else I wouldn't be able to get myself to the end of the episode. And at the end of EP.1, I didn't feel like I missed anything at all.

In EP1, it's the story of FL and her best friend - which is boring - really. They try to make it touching, but nothing in the girls' relationship moved me. The story between them is very loose. I don't feel attached to her friend or believe they're best friends at all. The script writer team did very less in building the foundation for the girls' relationship - I don't see where their strong bond comes from nor believe the bond exists or is even real. And with nothing to convey, the team still forces their way to drag the girls' story into a full EP. This sets a too lagging tempo for the series from the start - which is hardly a wise opening strategy for any series, I would say, as this means they imprint their 1st impression in the audience's eyes as a boring story.

Since the ML doesn't show up in EP1, I gave myself and the series another go with EP2. Here, the setting changes from the city to the pretty village in small town. The set is very relaxing. The atmosphere totally contrasts with EP1 (in a good way). The cinematography is decent and does justice to the location.

However, the same problem isn't solved. The story hardly goes forward. Nothing much happens along the way. I don't feel life in other characters apart from the main characters though they're close relative, colleagues or has long dialogue in their own scene. They're very puppet-like. The team has done a bad job in introducing their characters. And the huge problem is - I don't feel that any character (even FL or ML) is interesting. Until the end of EP2, they still can't make me feel engaged to their characters or story.

And when I glance to see the number of total episodes.... my gosh 40 is to many for this level of story. I imagine it's gonna get more dragging. They're going to squeeze all kinds of their bodily liquids into dragging it to 40. No matter those liquids are blood or tears, it's gonna turn into plain water half way.

So with that glance, I decide to drop this series.

so good

The subject matter is so good that I relax a lot while watching it. They show the relationships between people, friends and family very well in the series. I also learn about Chinese food and culture while watching. The cast is incredible, they all play their roles so well. We laugh and cry at the same time. They show both feelings very well. The producer did a good job.I usually don't like most Chinese dramas, but I like this and "Go ahead" dramas. because when we watch it teaches us a lot .I'm excited to watch this series

Jornada de emoções.

Da primeira vez que passei por ele não assistir porque achei que ia ser muito melancólico, pela primeira parte do episodio. Não podia estar mais errado, tudo encaixou perfeitamente, a ambientação é muito bonita e realmente assim como no drama da vontade de ir passar férias. Não só o casal principal tem uma química que surpreende muito, como as amizades que foram se construindo parecem muito real, Liu Yi Fei ao falar da falecida amiga transmite uma emoção tão triste, mas ao mesmo tempo tão alegre em lembrar de como ela era em vida, excelente atuação.

A recommended drama!

Baru nonton pas 2 agustus 2023. Sebenarnya udah sering liat reviewnya cuman emang belum ketemu mood yang pas buat nonton. Akhirnya kemarin memutuskan untuk nonton tanpa ekspektasi apa-apa. Jujur buat aku, episode 1 itu penting banget buat aku menilai buat lanjutin nonton apa enggak, karena ini tipe drama slice of life yang slow plotnya yang kalau engga bagus bakalan super lelah nontonnya. Dan dari episode 1 sangat menjanjikan jadi aku tetap lanjut terus dan akhirnya hari ini 7 agustus 2023 aku udah selesai nonton. jujur bagus bagus bagus banget dramanya. nontonnya beneran feelnya tenang, enjoy banget liat dramanya, narasinya bagus bener-bener cocok buat orang orang yang mungkin lelah menjalani hidup, agak merasa kehilangan. Aku nonton ini beneran ketawa ngakak-gemesh-nangis gitu terus sampe tamat dan ngerasa kehilangan ㅠㅠ jujur nyesel kenapa gak hype drama ini pas tayang.

Ini drama punya ost yang bagus, view yang diambil juga bagus, jadi beneran pengen ke yunnan 哈哈哈 cast nya juga bagus meraninnya dan peran semua cast tuh bener-bener bagus banget semuanya. Semua punya cerita dan dapat ending dari jalan hidup masing-masing. sangat realistis sekali karena gak semua hal dalam hidup kita cuman dapat bahagia bahagia aja. Benar benar nunjukkin pentingnya punya keluarga yang support, teman teman yang baik dan lingkungan baik. Pokoknya 1000000000000000000/10 dari aku.

Un magnifique drama qui fait tellement de bien, les acteurs, l'histoire, la musique tout est parfait
Quel dommage si vous ne le regardez pas
J'ai envie d'aller dans ce village et de me joindre aux habitants tout doucement, silencieusement et de regarder les jours passés tout doucement agréablement
Une série qui repose et j'aimerai qu'elle puisse continuer longtemps longtemps
Et pour finir une musique délicieuse et qui correspond si bien aux acteurs à l'histoire
Un 10 supplémentaire à la grand-mère

Definitivamente uma jóia.

No começo pensei que fosse o velho clichê de sempre, moça da cidade que vai pro interior e acha cara "bonitão" e blá.

Mas a história vai muito além, segue um fluxo nem muito rápido nem devagar, abrange vários tópicos, problemas e críticas a sociedade, e uma boa visão sobre os mesmos assim como pontos que fazem você refletir.

Quimica entre os personagens muito boa, história leve, agradável e muito boa de acompanhar. Recomendo fortemente que você dê uma chance caso esteja cansado(a) da mesmice.

Geralmente eu não assisto mais de uma vez a mesma séria, mas essa me fez rever este conceito.

Espero ter ajudado,
Abraçs o/

Meet Yourself

Meet Yourself é aquela clássica história de alguém que saiu da cidade grande e foi para o interior em busca de aconchego, acolhimento e ressignificação da própria jornada de vida.

A história contada nesse drama é linda, pois explora temas como luto, cura emocional, autoconhecimento e o valor das conexões humanas. Além disso, também enaltece a beleza da vida simples e das relações comunitárias. Os protagonistas são ótimos e tem uma química muito boa juntos. Outros personagens também se destacam com seus dilemas pessoais.

Ao final, senti que algumas subtramas secundárias foram resolvidas de maneira aceleradas e gostaria que o desenvolvimento de alguns personagens tivessem sido diferentes, mas acabei a série com aquela sensação que só uma história de cura e reflexão consegue deixar na gente. O gênero Slice of Life é um dos meus preferidos quando se trata de cinema e TV, e produções asiáticas são experts nele. Meet Yourself se destaca nesse gênero, na minha opinião!

Drama lento e romance frio

O ritmo do drama é muito lento. Entendo que, pela proposta do drama, seria necessário esse tipo de ritmo, mas foi excessivamente lento, sem contar o número de 40 episódios. Poderiam ter sido resolvido em 20.
Praticamente nada acontece até o capítulo 20. Somente depois da metade do drama que começa a acontecer alguma coisa no relacionamento entre o ML e FL.

Pensei que por ser um drama lento, quando iniciasse o romance seria uma história realmente linda entre duas pessoas que se amam. Mas o que se vê e o ML carinhoso e atencioso com a FL, mas a FL sempre sarcástica e irônica com o ML. Ele sempre usava de palavras doces e suaves com a FL, mas a FL sempre usava a ironia de forma a zombar de uma situação ou para insultar ele de forma mordaz. Muitas vezes, a FL falou em se separar ou abandonar o ML caso ele a desagradasse, mas o problema disto é que nas cenas em questão não tinham cabimento algum para esse tipo de diálogo, foi uma coisa sem lógica e sem sentido.

Tentaram construir uma imagem, para FL, de uma pessoa que era amorosa, calma e parceira e algumas vezes ela falou para o ML que ela era assim e que gostaria que eles sempre fossem parceiros um do outro. Mas no episódio da briga entre o casal, onde a FL pede um tempo para o ML para que eles esfriem a cabeça, a FL inicia a cena falando que pediu que não contassem ao ML o que tinha acontecido anteriormente quando os homens invadiram a pousada com agressividade. Como a FL pede confiança e parceria do ML se ela não forneceu essa confiança e parceria ao ML?

Em momento algum a FL se declara ao ML, embora isso não tenha prejudicado o drama, pois ela mesma declara que um dos motivos para ela voltar ao vilarejo era para ficar com o ML, contudo as atitudes sarcásticas e irônicas da FL atrapalharam muito o romance.

Outro ponto que não gostei foi a atuação da FL (Liu Yi Fei). Sua atuação ficou a desejar, pois suas expressões e movimentos não condiziam com a cena. Ela sempre me pareceu fria, distante e apática, embora a cena pedisse uma atuação mais calorosa e alegre. Por exemplo: Houve uma cena em que era para ela demonstrar ciúmes, contudo a falta de expressão dela, não transmitiu absolutamente nada, somente depois que o ML falou que ela estava com ciúmes que eu percebi a cena. Não foi só neste exemplo, senti essa falta de expressão da FL durante o drama todo. Não considero um boa atuação da FL... foi abaixo dos outros atores.

Gostei muito das cenas em que mostravam a cidade, sua história e as paisagens pitorescas. Contudo o romance não ficou à altura do restante do drama e atribuo esse fracasso a atuação ruim da FL, a diálogos sarcásticos e irônicos da FL e falta de romance entre o casal. Tirando isso, vale a penas assistir o drama.
