This drama is for the lonely hearts and lost souls.
Ever since we were young, we were all taught that we must work hard in order to live good lives. We must do what everyone in society is expected to do, and if we don't, then we have failed. Live in order to work and work in order to live. This have been so ingrained in our minds that we become soulless and robotic workaholics... until the day we wake up and realize that we are wasting our precious time away at jobs that we hate and missing out on priceless opportunities in the pursuit of money. It is only at our lowest do we ask, are we happy? Are we truly living? When we look in the mirror, do we like what we see? Do we even know who we are?
There is something genuinely special about Meet Yourself. In a world where time waits for no one and the world never stops turning, this drama gives us the chance to slow down, to sit back, to relax — to just breathe. It is a slice-of-life story filled with valuable lessons about grief, family, friendships, sacrifices, aspirations, and self-love. It reminds us to appreciate the present and the people in our lives while we still have them.
What I love:
• I fell in love with the setting: a small Bai village in Yunnan, where everybody knows everybody and neighbors are always willing to give and help without expecting anything in return. I love the comforting slowness of the countryside, the tranquil lifestyles of the villagers, the beautiful architecture of the ancient homes, and the breathtaking views of the fields, lakes, and mountains. It might not be an easy life, but how fulfilling it is.
• I especially adore the characters in this drama — all of them. Hongdou: the strong, soft-spoken, and relatable FL. A'Yao: the selfless, patient, and loving ML. Nan Nan, Na Na, and Damai: the kind of besties everyone deserves to have. Mr. Hu: who is chaotic, loyal, and kind. Mr. Ma: the wise spiritual guide we all need in life. Mama Xu, Papa Xu, and sister Hong Mi: the kind of family that will lecture you as much as they love you. Granny: the best character in the show, who reminds us all of our own grandma. The town aunties, neighborhood kids, and villager friends: all who bring such warmth and colors to this drama. By the end, it feels like I have gained new friends and a whole village on the other side of the world.
• And of course, I cannot forget about the osts. You can tell each one was carefully selected and they all beautifully capture the heart and essence of this drama. Therapeutic, poetic, hopeful.
If you are feeling a little down, a little stressed, a little lost, or just want a break from all the loud noises in your life — I highly recommend you watch this. It'll help you unwind, and maybe you might even find yourself along the way.
