Loved it.

I hadn't seen any of the actors before, and I loved them all. The ML and FL were amazing. They had great chemistry. It's a typical romance in many ways, but had layers of special elements, such as the traditional workmanship. The setting was beautiful and makes me want to visit places like that. The ex-girlfriend's voice was a bit hard on the ears (and the plastic surgery round eyes is a bit confronting for me!!) but as it went on I got used to it.

Overall I really enjoyed it.

oh my goddddddddd
I don’t even know where I should begin.
what an amazing drama!!🤩
I did not know what I was missing on, until I watched this!!!!
Beautifully made and enacted. Since the time I have finished watching it, although it is over, it is still fresh in my mind, like every single scene and dialogue. My heart feels so different after watching it. I love itttttt…!
The leads, Lu Yang Yang and Chen Xin Hai did a commendable job.
Talking about the Plot, it is very fresh and unique. It is different and I love the fact that they have portrayed the FL to be so powerful and independent while the ML is working on preserving and art and loves his wife.
The lead couple are in a flash marriage, and the show slowly unfolds as they gradually know each other, and fall in love. The entire journey of them is too beautiful, so sad that it has only 23 episodes.
I wish I could forget completely about it and watch it all over again.
This drama has inspired me in soo many ways, like following my heart and dreams, being fearless in pursuit of what sets my heart on fire. Loving truly and loving slowly. It shows how country life or as we call it, the “slow life” is not always bad, but rather good in so many ways. I just loveeeeee this drama, I connected the characters and laughed when they laughed and cried when they cried….!
Jusr very beautiful.
if you have come sooooo far in reading my review then I would request you to watch it please 🥹

a must watch feel good drama

i truly fell in the world of this drama, It is so homely and comforting. It's very lighthearted with really good pacing. The two leads are polar opposites who continuously grow and heal each other, along with others around them. I love the friendship dynamics so much, they healed each other and found a sense of comfort & home with each other.

I initially found few characters insufferable but they grew on me. They all felt like real people with their own distinct personality, i felt like i was part of their world. The chemistry of the leads was quite literally everything, they made me feel so giddy (literally kicking my feet). Jing chen is to die for 😩 i would wife him up & take care of him for rest of my life.

The cinematography is beyond my words, it is so aesthetically pleasing. I kept wishing it was rainy day while i was binging this, i wanted to sip my tea and take it all in.

100% give it a chance, truly a hidden gem. I'm so glad to have found it since I'm not usually big fan of modern cdrama, I mostly watch traditional but wow. I will be rewatching this all the time now hehe.
