This is a bittersweet love story. In 1999 two people met and fell in love, but in a twist of fate, they each gave up their chosen university to swap to what the other wanted. This had the unfortunate result in that she stayed in ShenZhen and he went to the states to NY city. They each made a promise that no matter what they would make each day count. While abroad he gets in an accident and his memory is stuck in 1999. His friend thinks outside the box and gets the daughter of his first love to help him remember. As he regains his memories she presents him with his journal from English class. Her mom had kept it 20 years. She wanted him to know that she kept her promise of making each day count. He could continue with lighter heart because he also was living that way.

This story starts as a wish for best love proposal to a light project for children in Bangladesh. It is a round about story but it shows how thinking outside the box and teaming up efforts can create miracles. This product helped thousands in Bangladesh get the care they needed by having a light source no matter the conditions. Putting differences aside and helping when needed allowed for innovation and quality control. This was a very unique way to enable a proposal while meeting a need by making an impossible order become reality.

This is a sweet story of an office cleaner and young man looking for a job. She is late with a slippery when wet floor sign and they get off on a bad footing. She compensates him by providing the materials she had made for her son to job hunt. He finds a job and they continue their friendship which comes to be more like mother/son relationship. Her son chooses to settle in another city and she returns years later and they get reacquainted. The absolute best scene for me was her introducing him to her car.šš¤£She supported him as a mother would and this carries through to end of story. It was fun seeing how a chance encounter could become a lasting familial relationship. ā¤ļø

This drama is a mixed bag. The actors are decent but they are old to be high school students and the fake instrument playing is a pet peeve of mine. Itās very distracting. However, what I find a plus is the cast interaction. They genuinely enjoy acting the scenes and this comes across nicely. Yi Lan and Tong Xiao Le have a symbiotic relationship. They really get each other and know exactly how to support each other when parents and family fail them. It is both heartwarming and sad that Yi Lanās family provide him meals on a regular basis and she knows exactly when to show up with food and optimism. She wants him to show off his photography in a competition and he always refuses. She has no clue how much he likes her and he knows his photography will make that clear. The lense doesnāt lie and sheās a lot of his camera work. Tong Xiao Le is incredibly smart, but he is bored and rudderless. He really has no ambition other than not wanting to be like his parents and driven to have no life to make money. He chooses to help his friends via tutoring and there is marked improvement for all of them. While they all are headed in different directions he has made no effort to focus himself for reasons only he understands. Yi Lan wants to be like her mother, and her father is determined to not let that happen. He has suppressed her musical talent and she is somewhat lazy so she is now finding it difficult to realize her dream to be a cellist because she has wasted a lot of the training time with minimal effort. The supporting cast are likable and add to the story nicely. They all give a broad spectrum of life choices that are made when the most immature to decide them. It captures that essence quite well.

In this episode editor in 2025 finds out that 2016 editor injured because she pepper sprayed him. She makes the choice to tell him not to leave post it in book. This is like movie Lake House where Sandra Bullock saves Keanu Reeves š„° In this case however, it could mean they never meet. She is a mess and distracted at work so gets tasked with helping at a book signing. When there, she heads for her favorite book and so does another. They chat over coffee to discuss his book.šwait for extra scene with credits š„°

This is a story of two editors not happy with their bosses. One quits and wants Shenzhen to snow so he can spend more time to try to be a writer. It is 2016 and it snows! He is happy and leaves a post it in his favorite book. Turns out this is also the other editorās favorite book, but she is in 2025. They pass post its back and forth and become friends. It was fun how they went to pink and blue. He is young enough that in 2025 he will only be a few years older. The last post it he suggests they meet and she is all smiles.š„°

Got my wish for the trio conversation. Director Jiang likes QingCheng and Man reminds him heās celebrating his 40th bday.š¤£ Due to traffic they end up at QingChengās place where three guys think they are going to bully her into returning a watch. There is a showdown and a video but the truth of it was her roomie that went out with MuSun assumed QingChengās identity and stole the watch. She tried to deny it, but when sheās buying out her lease agreement and telling QingCheng to find a place to lay low, itās very clear who the guilty party is. QingCheng just tells her to get out and not even surprised this happened. Sheās used to betrayal. She did tell her to stop impersonating her as she walked out the door. The older group is kinda shocked but she acted like no big deal. Later the three reveal their issues like I wanted last episode. I think the biggest shock was Mr ten year free pass.I knew QingCheng would have a solution for Man. She is not given many lines, but the ones she delivers carry weight. She suggested Man use him like part of a script and to make it the story she wanted. After the dust settled from pondering, Man did exactly that. I am not sure if Director Jiang is playing along or serendipity, but it was fun watching MuSunās words get played back at him. š¤£He found it harder when he was the one that needed to make way for understanding. He has even now included a drawer for her, but at the same time he makes it clear he is not in it for the long haul. He claims to not want to take care of anybody and yet he tenderly watches over her comfort when he thinks sheās most unaware. He is a mixed bag but for now her choice. QingCheng is looking for a new place and keeping track of every penny. KaiXi is taking care of her son and figuring out what her path will be while Mr free pass is out drinking with all his 40 yr old frat buddies that wanna party instead of be with their families. Man takes a candid shot of her most dreaded time and labels it ālifeā. Her post is liked by everybody.

As Man hugs MuSun after his request to define fulfilled commitment, she backed down but her look shows how empty she feels as her eyes sadden over his shoulder. KaiXi accidentally discovered a way to enterpriseā¦.cooking vlogs. Man and QingCheng help her make one and even Chen Mian reacts positively. He also offers suggestions which the young videographer doesnāt want to deal with because it requires too much effort. Man takes him aside and reminds him heās not the only talent overlooked, but it is hard to say if this made enough of an impression for him to do the job he is capable of. KaiXi is out with a friend as their children are playing and gossip begins from the friend. KaiXi sees the writing in the wall for her as well getting kicked out with a small bag and Tiao with Nannieās. Her fears are confirmed when he has the audacity to explain that because he only has ten years left he has no intention of depriving himself of anything. He promises to go back to being the dutiful husband after his ten year free pasš¤¬š Even quiet tempered KaiXi asked him if he even heard himself. There is no point wasting more effort on this man. She needs to move on and soon. Man received similar foreboding when MuSun said leaving and wanted her away from his things while he was gone. To not even rate possession status was quite a blow. I wish these two would have talked about their men and how sad they were, but both accepted lamenting a futile effort. Man said would kill the mood, but it was killed before their conversation even started. Both of these women need to move on and know it, but there is a comfort in just accepting status quo with no fuss or muss to get through the day. KaiXi often grieves me with making Man her thinking part of brain. I donāt know why she thinks Man is so much smarter. And Man doesnāt use any of her research skills to see the truth of how happy KaiXiās life really is. These two need much more than a spa day to deal with their red flags. Here QingCheng would have been a much needed ally and her past experiences would have resonated with her older friends. QingCheng grew up with a father red flag so she has more actual experience in dealing with the fallout. She has more reasonable expectations and she could have helped with the vlog and MuSunās semantics. This is where the drama fails a bit because the three think and reason better together and this was a missed opportunity.

There was a company that could make their efforts work, but they wanted control of research and development. The one gave up his part of the company to take care of his dad who had cancer. Three years later he comes back to his partner wanting a job. Their reunion is poignant as the surgical device that saved his dad was a result of their work. The one that held the company together needed help with coupling device so it was timely his friend returned. What was made clear is the partner that stayed never accepted the resignation and had waited for his friend to return. Their company became a success after their long trial of near misses. They show them at the end coming in dressed like Blues Brothers šš¤£

This follows the love/hate friendship of two college students. As they are working on PhD, their mentor needs surgery but the current device is unreliable. This changes their focus to powering the surgical device. It is a good idea but one part canāt withstand requirements. Just when they were giving up hope and taking odd jobs to make cash, they get a call that could change everything for their project.

As expected the young man tried to end himself jumping off a building. He is in hospital with chance of recovery after losing all his familyās savings. The friend who introduced him to the black market went to take care of the boss only to find out he was only the face of the boss. The real black market leader was posing as a legitimate stock trader. They deliberately manipulated the market to cheat average investors of their savings. They even made sure it would happen.šš”As the story unfolds they are trying to freeze trade so that a legitimate market wonāt take hold. Thanks to the persistence of coffee guy and one trustworthy stock investor , stocks were traded and the stock manipulators arrested. There is hope that the young man will recover and Shenzhen has a stock market that is true trade rather than gambling hall in disguise.

This story has a young wannabe investor who has already purchased fake stock and wants a way out. His friend introduces him to a dark market leader and the poor guy invests 10k. These sharks make money by spreading rumors and getting people to sell low so that those who hang on to theirs will triple investment. Unfortunately the young man was not in the loop. He halved his investment only to learn it would have tripled had he waited a day. He pays his friend back and acts like he made money with transaction but the music is somber as the episode ends.

Things seem to be headed the way of the developer. They have dumped construction materials in the mandrake site and plan to destroy them all. The project leader even sent thugs to beat up the environmental representative hoping he wouldnāt make the council meeting. When his daughter asked if the frogs had a home when they got a new one, he had no response. At the meeting he affirmed the village would relocate and let the land be developed. But he undermined their intentions to coast by fighting for the mandrake grove. It was determined that these trees would be protected at all cost. To this day, there is a remnant of the mandrake forest that is still protected. I hope the frogs came back to sing their happiness.

This story has a land developer trying to get the village to sign off on a land reclamation project. As the story progresses, he thinks his ex might be tempted to come back if the village is modernized. He has one strong opponent who refuses to sell. He doesnāt see one building as enough for the village and dares to ask what if land sold out from under them with no return as promised. He has just about got every signature when his daughter has a school project about beneficial insects. A frog is not an insect, but it is a local treasure living in the mandrake trees. He takes his daughter to the mandrakes and pollution and dumping has made the habitat a garbage site. The one frog he finds is dead and that gets him thinking.
