Warm and witty
This is one of those shows that you come back to rewatch because it's just a warm place to relax for awhile. Each sister gets her turn at being the romance focus, and each story is given its share of attention, without rushing or skipping through obstacles. In fact, the obstacles serve to highlight the real strength of the story, and that is the supportive family bond among the women. I enjoyed seeing the women affirming each other's worth and ensuring each of the male leads knows what a gem he is getting as a spouse. I also appreciate how the sisters honor their mother and appreciate all she has done for them. I particularly enjoyed the playful scenes of the brothers-in-law banding together for mutual goals and for survival! (A special shout out for Wang Xingyue who played the first romantic lead with so much charisma and chemistry!) It stretches historical believability at times, but not enough to really disrupt the flow of the story. Overall it's a well-paced mix of romance and humor in beautiful costumes and sets.
