Currently, I'm revisiting the classic drama Romance in the Rain, and it's bringing back a wave of nostalgia. My first encounter with this series was way back in the 6th grade (2002). Naturally, many of its nuances were lost on me as a young girl. What resonated most then was the seemingly perfect pairing of Yiping and Shuhuan, along with its undeniably beautiful and easy-listening soundtrack.

However, revisiting Romance in the Rain as an adult offers a completely different perspective. The drama reveals itself to be remarkably complex, extending far beyond simple romantic entanglements. It delves into the intricacies of a dysfunctional family, the corrosive effects of revenge, and the tragic consequences of youthful irresponsibility, poignantly illustrated through the stories of Erhao and Keyun, as well as Mengping's heartbreaking trajectory. The backdrop of chaotic wartime conditions further enriches the narrative.

I must commend the entire cast, the actresses and actors flawlessly embody their respective characters, bringing depth and authenticity to their portrayals. Moreover, the drama culminates in a satisfying and beautiful ending. And, of course, the soundtrack remains a timeless treasure in my opinion
