In my opinion, can try. It’s a slow burn romance but there are broader theme in culture and other people. It’s definitely not shallow in its writing and focus on lots of existential and real life struggles.

Agreed with sweet_dream’s comment above. Nice write up you done. Can consider writing a review after the drama is over, so audience who dropped by here, will be able to have deeper understanding of this great drama.
I am totally enjoying every episode, and felt your points are well stated, currently my network is down, so eagerly waiting it to be back on Friday, where I can catch up with ep 25/26.
@JulesL: Thanks to Jules below who provided such a wonderful translation of the first formal confession scene, can’t wait to see the full ep. 26.

Had tried a few, but dropped them. The one that caught my attention now is ‘Meet yourself’, a slightly different theme and although romance is slow burn. The script is good. Can try.

This production team and writers have done some other good work. But this drama seems to have the most themes been explored. Enjoyed every episode;)

Well said, so true. They always have such insightful conversation. So many learning points about our daily lives and relationships.

Agreed! She is very pretty and natural. Love her voice too!😍 it’s her first modern drama.
I like Li Xian too, a very talented and down to earth actor, seen some of his past works, impressive.

Yeah, like Ah Yao said, HongDuo and her sister have a love hate relationship. They love each other but yet so headstrong to admit it. I thought it’s a nice move that Ah Yao helps HongDuo to realise her sister’s visitation intention.

That’s good writing. More realistic progression.

So far many life related themes have been explored and contemplated including family relationship, friendship, dreams, expectations, needs, values, community, marriage, career choices, growth, death, grief…indeed a piece of great writing. It would be good if they publish a novel out of this drama.

Ep 24, priceless mistakes, XZY’s official first date with HD, had a price tag still on his shirt!
Initially I thought the bathing scene was made for fans, hahaha, then I realised it’s for the subtle advertising of shower foam…hahaha.

Managed to catch ep 23/24! And Joseph Zhang’s character definitely made XZY very uneasy…
But yet you can see through their interaction, there are lots of trust between them.
Just realised from the preview on ep 25, the new tenant was the same actress in L&P, who acted as ZY’s mom!

I believe you are right. She will go back to Beijing and make a decision to come back on her own to help XZY. Guess that confession will take another few more episodes.

I know what HongDuo’s hand gesture means, she was pointing to herself, it means she will make it. So on next ep, you see she was making the noodles and he helping in the kitchen.

Oh ok. Thanks very much! I won’t have network access till Friday, so maybe by then I have more ep to catch up;)

I won’t be able to watch it yet. 😅Has the confession happen?

Yes, and he will be in agony till ep 21;)

I like Damai and Nana, but love Granny Xie the most adorable granny! Actually I felt all the supporting role casting suits them well.

Hard to compete as it’s never a fair game. But I am glad I found this drama.

Reviewed it several times, can’t make out the hand gesture too…it’s seems to symbolize ‘ok’’?
