The Actors make you love this show.
My main complaint for a lot of Chinese dramas is that the characters act so young for their ages or take 20 episodes just to peek on the cheek kiss after some dumb misunderstanding. This is not one of those dramas. It’s about family, friendship, work life, living for a dream or just working for a paycheck . The actors are likable and real in their emtions. Of course the ML and FL are so much fun to watch as their relationship develops —you find yourself rooting for them, the village and the community. No fast forwarding needed as you just sit back and enjoy being part of the friend groupWanting to help each other succeed

A lighthearted drama about life
"Meet Yourself" is a standout in the realm of Chinese dramas, effortlessly blending heartfelt storytelling with deep social themes. The show captivated me from the start with its realistic portrayal of life, love, and personal growth.The drama is set against the beautiful backdrop of the countryside, which adds a serene and almost therapeutic element to the narrative. However, what truly sets "Meet Yourself" apart is its mature and nuanced exploration of relationships and personal struggles. It delves into themes such as grief, community, the clash between modernity and tradition, and the journey of self-discovery. These elements are handled with such grace and depth that they resonate long after the episode ends.
The romance between the lead characters is one of the most authentic and grounded portrayals I’ve seen in recent dramas. It’s not just about grand gestures or clichéd moments; instead, it’s built on mutual respect, understanding, and personal growth. The chemistry between Liu Yifei and Li Xian feels natural and effortless, making their relationship both believable and deeply moving.
Liu Yifei shines as the female lead, bringing a quiet strength and vulnerability to her role. Her performance is both captivating and understated, perfectly embodying the complexities of her character. Li Xian also delivers a stellar performance, bringing warmth, charm, and depth to his role. His portrayal of a man who is both confident and introspective adds a compelling layer to the drama.
The supporting cast is equally commendable, each adding depth to the story with their unique personalities and subplots. The show does an excellent job of exploring different life perspectives, from the struggles of the younger generation to the wisdom of the older.
In conclusion, "Meet Yourself" is more than just a romance drama; it’s a beautifully crafted story about life, community, and the journey to find peace and happiness. It’s rare to find a drama that balances romance with such meaningful social commentary, but "Meet Yourself" does so flawlessly. This is a must-watch for anyone looking for a drama that is both heartwarming and thought-provoking.

A beautiful healing story
It’s worth of time, if you’ve a broken heart.The scenery was just beautiful, the atmosphere was perfect that it made me want to go there.
The scenario was alright and sometimes it made me want to cry and sometimes it made me smile and laugh. The actors were really great and the story was also good. I don’t have any negative thoughts about this drama because it helped me heal my mental and made me accept and understand the difficulties of life and how to face them.

a therapeutic beautiful drama
the pace, the scenery, story, acting, everything was ideal! it takes you from the fast lifetempo of big cities, to a beautiful slow relaxing life in the village. there are good friendship scenses for those value strong friendships and a good love story for those interested in romance. but the story didn't revolve around romance, but around life itself!and I have to just say: I don't know where they found so many cute little actors! the children were adorable and really good at acting! and where did such a cute funny grandma come from?! I loved her!!
the music is also beautiful and calming (except for very few romantic scenes towards the end, when the two main leads finally get together, I think the music could have been better but still isn't bad)

One Relax Drama
Long time hesitate to watch this, but I'm bored so just decided to watch this drama. Quite happy to watch this drama in the end.This drama tell story about Xu Hong Dou (HD) that just losing her friend & decided to take a break from life & just go to small town in Yunnan to relax. HD had plan to go travel to Yunnan with her friend, but since she died, HD decided to fulfill the promise & just go there. In Yunnan, Yun Miao village, like all small village, the community is closed tied & family related.
So aside from relax, HD also find new friend & new community or you can say new family and also not forget the love of her life.
What I like:
+ Really relax atmosphere. Like all small village, the time worked really slow & can make us feel relax & nothing in life is so important that you need to work your ass around...
+ The maturity of HD & Xie Zhi Yao (ZY). Like we know they love each other, but they don't rush thing & let the time take care of it.
+ The friendship that all the village create for one and each other.
+ The funny Granny Xie. Hoho... One more cute & adorable grandma in dramaland
+ They talk about the important communication between family. Like when Ma Qiu Shan & HD want to start business, they like having talk that whatever happen talk with family is important, not only when you already decided then you announce your decision.
Maybe from all of this the minus is only one. The times sometimes moves so slow... For you who don't like it gonna feel this drama a little bit bored.... Oh and maybe as usual for c-drama, the episode is just d*mn too much, I don't think the episode need this long.
Overall this is one good drama for you to enjoy and learn to relax....

Love this drama, especially the side characters, amazing cinematography
Meet Yourself is a melodrama in Yunan as Xu Hong Dou (played by Crystal Liu) went there to find herself after the death of her best friend Chen Nan Xing played by Janice Wu.The drama has many known guest roles and a supporting cast. The acting of the entire ensemble was excellent, even though the flow of the drama is quite slow, but I love it.
I love all the side characters; each is uniquely portrayed by the supporting actors/actresses. Especially Granny Xie, played by Estelle Wu. She is a supporting yet firm grandma to Xie Zhi Yao, played by Li Xian.
The Yunan community not only supports each other, but they also make their guests feel welcome and belong in their society.
The cinematography is so beautiful that it makes me want to visit Yunan one of these days. I enjoy this drama and would recommend people to watch it.
Overall, I am giving it an 8.5 rating.

A complete package! Absolutely masterpiece
The title of this drama really describe the story. A lot of life lesson about how you should embrace life, self acceptance, and be more compassionate about others and your surrounding.Although its a slow pace, but the story is so well written, made it not the weakness but instead the strength of the whole series. You will find it is so realistic and relatable to your everyday life, and immerse yourself as part of it. The romance is also a slow burn kinda romance, everything is natural, and no overacting. The cast -- you'll know its a great drama when the supporting roles are as memorable as the main roles. Each person is unique and has their own strength, weakness, and problems. And their character develop as the story progress. Not just the main roles, but to each one of them. Thus, I give four thumbs up (including my feet thumbs >,< haha) to the writer who blended them nicely.

Healing and Slow Burn
In today's life people forget to take care of their own personal health and cause disasters of their own. The best friend of the FL is one such person who has lost her life, which affects her negatively and causes depression. The female lead then goes on a trip of healing and books a short term stay at a village. The ML, who is the leader of the village and trying to put the village as a tourist destination on the map.The interactions between ML and FL, along with other members of the village, and other characters who reside in the village to escape from their own demons forms the crux of the drama. The repeated conversations and interactions with the ML leads to a healthy romance between the parties.
The drama is long but honestly does not have a bad episode. This drama definitely is in the top with its cast, scenery and character development.

Slice of Life
this is the show to watch if you enjoy slow paced, peaceful, slice-of-life type of shows.i was very touched by the friendship between XHD and her bestie. it reminded me that we shouldn't take health for granted, and we should cherish every moment in life. watching her recount the times spent with her friend made me tear up.
the show showed the picturesque views of Yunnan and is an inspiration for city goers to put down everything and YOLO. not just because of the beautiful scenery, but because of the meaning of taking a break to treasure every minute of life. XZY's calling to go back to his hometown to make it better was also admirable.
i particularly enjoyed the mature and slow burn romance between the male and female lead, not rushing into things just because of physical attraction but because of aligned vision and values.
OST was also great, song was stuck in my head for the longest time...

A Heartfelt Journey of Love, Friendship, and Tradition
This cdrama is truly special. I enjoyed it immensely. It explores themes of friendship, family, and tradition in a very engaging way, but what struck me the most, being the hopeless romantic that I am, is the main love story, which I found to be incredibly realistic. The two protagonists slowly grow closer, marked by endearing moments of awkwardness, supporting each other with great maturity and wisdom. Although the characters face complex situations that will test the emotions of us viewers, the series feels like a gentle caress.Was this review helpful to you?
