Honestly, I feel like each episode of this drama is way too short. And I can't help but feel a little sad knowing that the drama has finally come to an end. But I guess that's just how dramas go. Every story has a beginning, and eventually, it must come to an end.

Overall, I'm not entirely satisfied with the ending because I still want to know more about their lives. I want to see what happens next and how each of these characters is doing. What I love most about this drama is how every character feels so real, just like people we meet in everyday life. It honestly feels like I'm watching a recorded video of their lives unfolding right before my eyes. I've witnessed their ups and downs, their struggles and their little victories, and somehow, all of it has touched me deeply. Even the characters who only appeared for a few minutes felt so present, as if they were right there in front of me. I really want to give kudos to every single character, no matter how big or small their role was.

To be honest, I have my own traumas too. I'm traumatised by fire because of the incident where our family home was completely destroyed in a matter of seconds, with absolutely nothing left for us to save. I'm also traumatised by cold weather. In fact, the cold is one of my biggest triggers. The irony is that my hometown is located in a cold area, where the weather is more often cold than warm. Even until now, I'm still struggling to overcome or get past that trauma.

That's why so many of the situations and experiences portrayed by the characters in Small Town Remedy hit so close to home for me. I can relate to them on a much deeper level, and that's why I understand Liu Zhengliang so well. Sometimes, people call me dramatic or say I'm just being difficult. But they don't know what I've been through, and they don't understand what it's like to live with those fears.

Liu Zhengliang, you're so lucky to have finally overcome your trauma. And look at you now, finally able to smile again! But Liang Liang, you were seriously way too harsh during the first few episodes, you know? You were so stubborn that if I were there, I would've slapped you at least once! Hahahaha. But hey, at least you showed some improvement! 🤣

Xiao Zhan, you did such an amazing job! I'm genuinely impressed and deeply moved by your ability to constantly exceed my expectations. Bravo, and congratulations!

I'm not very familiar with the real names of the other actors, but they all did such a wonderful job bringing their respective characters and storylines to life.

Long Dong Dong, you really seem like an old fox at first. But underneath that cunning exterior, you're actually such a kind-hearted and thoughtful person. And I absolutely love the sibling relationship in this drama! 😂 Their interactions feel just like those of real-life siblings. I have a didi (younger brother) too, but trust me, he's way harder to deal with and reason with. Definitely not as easygoing as Liu Zhengguang!

Ai Chen, I honestly didn't expect your mama to leave us just like that. Maybe it's because throughout the earlier episodes, we were so used to seeing people come to the hospital for treatment, only for something to go wrong and for them to pass away there. But Ai Chen's mother's passing really brought me back to reality. The reality of death.

Death is inevitable. It can happen anywhere, at any time. But one thing is certain: when our time comes, it will happen, no matter where we are.

There's something I've witnessed quite often in real life. Whenever something unfortunate happens in a hospital, especially when a patient passes away following surgery, the doctors are usually the ones who get blamed. Some people even go as far as becoming aggressive towards them.

But we all know that doctors are not God. They are simply human beings doing everything they can to provide the best possible treatment and care for their patients. They do their best, but just like everyone else, they cannot fight against God's will. Who would have thought that behind those white coats are tears that they cannot show in front of us? Sometimes, the people who carry the heaviest emotional burden are the very ones who spend their days taking care of others.

I genuinely love this drama so much. It has taken me on such a beautiful journey alongside every single one of these characters. It's more than just a drama to me. It feels like I've been given a chance to witness little pieces of real life through their stories.

Thank you to the entire Small Town Remedy team for giving us such a beautiful slice-of-life drama. I truly hope we'll get to see more dramas like this, with realistic storylines, relatable characters and stories that reflect the beauty and harshness of real life.
