I will recommend it to everyone around
It is difficult to describe what I experienced while watching each episode from joy with hatred to butterflies in my stomach. very natural acting, beautiful locations, excellent camera work and the most beautiful musical accompaniment! There were no incomprehensible moments between the lines. The life of ordinary people is shown very realistically. The main characters are very unusual: the heroine with disabilities, the main character works at an unusual work for me personally and brought their fate for the second time. It is important to emphasize the secondary characters. Especially the native main characters, they played very well. If there was an opportunity, I would evaluate them 100/10Was this review helpful to you?

Well written, exceptional acting and aesthetically pleasing
If you're looking for cliche childish and stupid romcom this isn't for you and please don't bother dropping your 2 cents here coz you're not qualified to do so.First off the cinematography is top notch felt like I'm watching a movie with solid backing.
The casting is great and these actors' work is really admirable not just the leads but also the supporting cast.
The soundtrack is also pleasing and apt.
It's well paced there seems some cuts but overall nothing too hasty or too slow so it keeps you hooked.
One thing I prolly complain would be the abrupt endings at each episode but dat would prolly because it's meant to be binged?
It's just 5 EPs now but from what I've seen I'm giving it an A+

Quite a surprise
I'm new to C-Dramas and only watch romance dramas. However, I think this also fits the "slice of life" genre as well. I didn't know what to expect from it, but wow, was I pleasantly surprised! I've never seen the ML or FL in a drama yet, and they were wonderful. They did a terrific job in their roles, especially the ML, Li Xian! He was able to portray being aloof, compassionate, anger, deeply in love, deeply hurt, etc. so well. It really is a perfect romance drama. It's about families facing challenges together, putting others first (as it should be), compromising, fulfilling goals and dreams, and most importantly to me. . . realizing that as wonderful as it is to have a fulfilling and accomplished career, at the end of the day, it's double the enjoyment out of life if you have someone to share it with. A line that was said during this drama that I copied and will use into the future:". . . a relationship that leaves no trace of existence won't help anyone grow." Wow. So true, one of the messages in this drama is don't just live for today, but work on relationships that will last a lifetime.

At last a well rounded Chinese drama
It has got to be one one of the best Chinese drama I've ever watched. Maturity, finesse, sensitivity. It got it all. And the casting was perfection. Each and every one of them inhabited their role, never betraying the character and so much balance in portraying these stories about love, ambition, death, loneliness, aging, family etc.This drama is a gem.

This review may contain spoilers
Finally two grown ups interacting like adults and loving like adults
One oerson mentiined that this story is too “preachy” … thats is true…ML works as main person in a funeral home… so he is confronted with desth everyday… and of course, this influences the narrative of the show… sometimes a bit melancholic but overall quite sweet…
So… finally a story where the FL speaks normally, acts like a woman, and lives like a modern, working individual, with goals and dreams… she jokes, talks, like a normal woman,,, no dead fish kiss or fake ones… much appreciated for that…
Story is kind of slow pace, but nice…
FL and ML have history together from the past.. and they reconnect… leading to flirting, friendship and falling in love… in a very realistic manner.
The interactions with their family and friends are very normal… you learn quickly to like them…
She is flawed… he is temperamental…. Discussions, break ups, reconciliations are part of their relationship, which is very real.
Some people found her too selfish and he too accommodating…. There is a bit of truth, but slowly you see her change… not perfect but it is there.
Chemistry is pretty good… in the little details…
Overall, I recommend it… 21 ep x 30 mins goes super fast

Life Lessons
I honestly went into this, like most other dramas I watch, almost blind. I added it to my list without much thought - and I'm so glad I did. When I saw this was up next on my list, I read the synopsis again and knew I was in for a ride. This one show taught me lessons I needed to hear right now in my life. They were harsh, but they needed to be said. I wish this was on other platforms so I could share it with my family. This was phenomenal. I enjoyed every bit of this - minus the last scare at the end. PLEASE take the time and watch this. You won't regret it. At least, I don't believe you will.9.5/10

Absolutely amazing drama!
This drama is hands down the best Cdrama for 2024 so far. Everything about this drama is top notch. The actors are doing such an amazing job and the chemistry is off the hook. I love how the story develops and how secondary characters are fleshed out. You come to understand each characters flaws and motivations. The cinematography has been so beautiful and the OST one of the best I’ve heard. I look forward to each episode and love the slice of life story. Don’t miss it!!Was this review helpful to you?
IT FEELS ORIGINAL AND UNIQUE
This drama has already won me over with just three episodes I can tell it's going to be amazing...I love how the story isn't told in a fast paced nor slow paced way but rather it's told in a way that's perfectly paced enough to allow you to connect to it and to the characters.
The acting feels subtle yet impactful...and I must say the characters are so far well written..you can tell that each has personality and purpose to add to the plot.
The cinematography makes me feel like am watching a movie and not a series...it's relaxing and warm.....and the direction makes you feel the warmth.
The osts aren't over the top but each creates an everlasting impact on the scene.
I love how the characters backgrounds so far and their stories are kept hidden Ofcourse to be revealed with time....it's intruiging.
Iam looking forward to the romance between the leads because ain't no doubt even with the minimal interactions they have amazing chemistry.
This review is for the first three episodes and I'll be upgrading it with time.
So far this drama brings back the warmth I received from dramas like meet yourself, the forbidden flower, Sunshine by your side, nothing but you( 2023) and my marvellous fable.

Little bit difficult to understand
The drama covers several themes. Firstly, it sheds light on the profession of funeral makeup artists, a profession I wasn't familiar with due to my cultural background. In my religion, the family members are responsible for preparing the deceased for burial, which includes bathing the body, combing their hair, and dressing them, if a married woman die so she will be dress up like a bride . However, I found it interesting to learn about this profession through the drama, although I couldn't fully relate to it.In my religion it is true that those who are a part of funeral procession will take shower first as soon as they reach their home then only they touch the things and people.
So here lead actor told that people never touch us .so I understand this . And it is very hard to marry such a person who always surrounded by dead body .
However, the repetitive depiction of funerals made the drama feel somewhat monotonous.
Secondly, the drama emphasized the inevitability of death and the need to accept it. Despite the support and encouragement from others, those who have experienced loss find it difficult to come to terms with reality.
I found the personality of the female lead character somewhat irksome at times, and the slow pace of the drama tested my patience.
