To the Wonder

Both dramas have kinda similar vibe.
This drama is also about small quite village. Actor’s chemistry is good. Genres: Romance, drama, life

Both dramas depict the lives of the characters with a strong emphasis on local culture and surroundings. Both Born to Be Alive and To the Wonder focus on the internal transformation of the protagonists through experiences arising from daily challenges and conflicts, while the vast, picturesque landscapes play an almost independent role, enhancing the mood and authenticity of the story.

Both have subtle start and similar ending. These are very peaceful to watch, though to the wonder is more set into the olden times but still it makes an impact similar to la boum. Anyhow, i didn't want both of them to end.

The cinematography of both is realistic, with a documentary feel.
They are free from typical Chinese drama clichés.
Poority and rural life in focus.
They have minority Muslims, and we can see their customs.
The male characters are quite naive.

Once again, the drama follows the journey of a city girl who moves to a minority region, capturing the cultural life of its people as she heals and gradually falls in love.

I know this recommendation is not a documentary about an ethnic group and lifestyle..
But it is healing and feel good slice of life that made me remember it while watching to the wonder.
