Best Series for the Start of Spring
At one point in this series, I seriously thought out loud, This should have the word ‘blossom’ in it!—because there were so many flowers everywhere. 😆 From her tulips in the beginning to the small osmanthus flowers that fell onto the bathroom floor as she shook them off, the floral imagery felt like it was just everywhere.
Where I live, we don’t get much of a spring, and if we do, it’s gone in the blink of an eye. So, this drama truly made me feel like spring was here. It was like smelling fresh flowers and enjoying the soft spring rains. It just felt right, filling me with a little tingle of happiness that I couldn’t contain.
Things I Love About This Drama:
🌸 The characters—I just enjoy every one of them. I love their warmth, their radiance, and how natural they felt. It was like watching a sweet love story unfold in everyday life. I also loved how they all got along, always playful with each other. One little detail I found endearing was how the FL calls her parents Mr. Shen and Ms. Liu.
🌸 Scenes from the series. There was one, in particular, that I thought about a lot—the moment they watched the sunrise together. Something about it, the way the morning slowly awakened the world, felt so nostalgic. This series truly gives me that fuzzy, tingling feeling of happiness. Another moment that stood out was when she was suffering from bad cramps, and he used moxibustion to help her. I was tearing alongside with her.
🌸 The screenwriter for Hidden Love also wrote this one! No wonder it carries that same warm, comforting feeling.
🌸 If you’ve read my other reviews, you know Zhang Linghe is one of my top favorite actors. I thoroughly enjoyed his character here— a handsome TCM doctor mending broken hearts? Yes, please, sign me up!
🌸 The side characters! Even though they didn’t have much screen time, I adored the nosy neighbor patrol, always in everyone’s business. I was screaming and laughing when he announced, “Your house is on fire, and Mr. Yan is here to propose marriage!” My favorite sidekick! And let’s not forget the nurses/front desk ladies and the little boy—absolute gems.
🌸 At the beginning of each episode, there’s a small note about an herb, each one tying into the story in a beautiful way. Osmanthus stood out to me the most—it’s a herb I recently came across, and I love its scent.
In short, this series is a refreshing burst of springtime joy that reawakens the senses and warms the heart. Its delicate blend of humor, romance, and vivid imagery makes it the perfect escape from winter’s chill. I’m left with a hopeful reminder that even in the briefest moments, beauty and warmth can bloom—just like the unexpected charm of a spring flower. Enjoy every moment and let this drama inspire you to embrace the season of renewal.
8/10
