I know Daylight Entertainment love Wang Kai and Hu Ge but it seems impossible to bring them back in a same drama again, unless it's an anthology drama or just guest roles. DE will either get WK or HG, can't be both LOL! I feel they'll go with HG.

Another great drama series by Kong Sheng and Daylight Entertainment. It's not popular among foreign viewers probably because it doesn't have flower boy actors and it's not focused on romance. The entire casts from top to bottom did great. Glad it's very well received in China. I read the writer did extensive research about people who lived during Chinese economic reform/ open era to create the life of Song Yunhui, Lei Dongbao, and Yang Xun. No wonder many Chinese comments said their families who lived in that era can relate to the story. So many topic this drama presents... government policy, politics, economic, accounting, investment, foreign trading, farming, chemical industry problem, all the entrepreneurship problem, all the chaos when you want to build your village to be better etc that affect family/friends/co-workers relationships.

3% of romance and it's great without focusing on romance.
