Thanks for recommending this brilliant drama. The final reveal was a complete surprise for me. Haha...didnt see it coming cos i thought Baozi grew up and continued working at the brothel.
Sad that Judge Song was killed off. He totally didn’t deserve it.
I wish Sangeng found out that his sifu killed his father.
As always, your review is well written and illuminated more layers. Thank you ❤️
Agree that Zhang Ruoyun was out of his comfort zone. Even though I am a fan, i think this character was a bit outside his range, Not sure if it was the way the character was written. Still, it was not an easy role. Most actors would have fallen flat on their faces 😆
Thank you for your insightful article. I've always respected good writers for their abilities to weave magic. Wang Xiong Cheng is one of my favourites screenwriters since watching Go Ahead <3
Loved, loved Meet Yourself too. Both these dramas are gems; the cast, directing, writing everything were brilliant! Surprised that Go Ahead bombed in China :(
Wow! A very talented family. I love Zhang Rouyun and Bai Yu. They are both awesome actors
The Bond was fascinating because of the insights into life in China in the 70s and 80s. Felt like similar genre to Go Ahead. Ordinary people trying their best to live their lives as well as possible, making mistakes along the way.
I'm staying away from the Ma Yili drama. Reviews are not positive. Haha.
Tyvm - I kind of expected many of them not to make it from the title itself but I think they went a bit too far!!!
The title I was aware of was A Journey to Love. Didn't expect the journey to love would end this way. Yu Shisan should have survived and got himself a spin-off drama. Haha.
Thank you for the well-written review. Great show. Not flashy, no in-your-face comedy just realistic characters in a believable and warm storyline.
The significance of food and meals with loved ones resonated with me. The chemistry between the main couple was quite good, and the supporting cast was likeable especially the best friend. The dynamics between the daughter and mother was a bit too perfect though.
Loved this: "Thus the first time he meets Lu Yuan is when she loves him most. And the first time Lu Yuan meets Shen Buyan is when he loves her most." So true.
Drama has a refreshing storyline. It certainly made me think of how people of the past were shaped by the history we were fed; they might not be accurate. As they say, history is written by victors.
The dubbing was so soooo bad. Why did they use that voice actor for the ML?! It didn’t match at all. Was thinking could it have been a budget constraint? Not low enough, not skilled enough…
I was expecting FL to be more instrumental in the unraveling of the final plot, cos it’s supposed to be her legend. Such a pity.
Ty for reading. Its been difficult to find something else as visually appealing. 😅😀
I tried Young Blood before, but gave up after a few minutes. Don't really like Zhang Xin Cheng after watching him in Go Ahead. But that was quite a while back. Will give it another go.
Shows like My Journey To You spoil my ability to enjoy lower budget shows :P Each episode was like watching a high-budget movie.

Loved The Bond as well. I'm looking forward to Parallel World.
I love Zhang Rouyun and Bai Yu. They are both awesome actors <3
I prefer your alternate ending. Killing off almost everyone didn’t make sense at all 😢

I'm going to rewatch some of the recipes too :p
Overall, a very enjoyable drama ❤️
