The title Meet Yourself truly says it all
Meet Yourself isn’t for everyone—but if you’re in a season of burnout, heartbreak, or just feel emotionally drained, this drama might be exactly what you need.
Yes, it’s slow-paced. Painfully slow at times. But that’s also kind of the point. The show doesn’t rush anything—just like real healing, it takes time. It lets you breathe, sit in silence, and soak in the little things: the sound of birds, the warmth of a shared meal, the stillness of rural life. And somehow, that simplicity becomes deeply moving.
Liu Yifei brings this quiet strength to her role, and her chemistry with Li Xian is calm and steady—not explosive, but deeply comforting. Their relationship builds gently, without dramatic twists, and that's what makes it feel real. The entire village, its people, and the daily rhythms slowly become a balm for the soul.
The title Meet Yourself truly says it all. This isn’t just about escaping the city or falling in love—it’s about slowing down long enough to meet your true self. The part of you that’s been hurting, hiding, or forgotten. And that quiet journey of self-rediscovery is what makes this drama so special.
If you’re looking for action, high drama, or fast-moving romance, this probably isn’t it. But if you're going through something—or just need peace—this show is like a soft blanket. You just need patience to appreciate it.
Pros:
✔ Beautifully healing atmosphere
✔ Natural, grounded performances
✔ Reflective and emotionally warm
✔ Perfect for when you feel lost or overwhelmed
Cons:
✘ Very slow pacing (you have to be in the right mindset)
✘ Some subplots feel repetitive
Would I rewatch? Yes—on a quiet night when I need to feel like everything will be okay.
