A rich city boy met a young country girl through prior arrangement and slowly falling in love

Plot/Story
Zhuang Xiaoman was an innocent, but pretty village girl who lived with her parents in Dandong Village. She has an old friend named Jingwen, who later attended school in the City and interested in rich city boys. Another one of her friends was Hao, a peasant who was interested on Jingwen. The quiet village life was suddenly disturbed by a visiting rich city boy named Lin Xian. He came to annull his engagement to Xiaoman, which was secretly and previously made by Lin's grandpa. Lin's visit coincided with a blind date to Xiaoman, arranged by her parents. Xiaoman ended up accepting the current engagement with Lin, in order to avoid the blind date. Jingwen, who knew about Lin background through her education in the City, was also interested in him. Then, there was also an old friend of Xiaoman named Zi Feng, a photographer coming to the village, who had also interest on Xiaoman.
As a temporary arrangement, Lin stayed in the village and helped Xiaoman with the daily farm life. He slowly became interested with the village life and Xiaoman; and clashed with Zi Feng while being pursued by Jingwen. He also had an old girl friend through his business in the City, and her name was Lu Yao. Was at the end Lin and Xiaoman convinced that they were meant for each others?

Cast/Characters
Cast
The feisty little girl Xiaoman was played by Qu Meng Ru, and Lin Xiang played by Li Zhou Hiang. Qu Meng Ru has a beautiful set of eyes and a face which captivated her audiences. Li Zhuo Hiang is young, handsome and has nice body, which was revealed by Xiaoman when she wanted to apply ointment for his rashes due to allergy and dust.
Jingwen was played by Liu Mu Zi, and Lu Yao by Pan Xiao Xu. Photographer Zi Feng was played by Yu San, and friend Hao by Huang Hai Tao. Grandpa Lin was played by Feng Li Ping.

Characters
Both Lin and Xiaoman were excellent in their roles. Grandpa Lin was charming with his white beard, reminded me of a kungfu master. Xiaoman's parents were quite pleasant and not too pushy toward their single daughter. I do not like Zi Feng's character, as he seems to be out of place in this drama.
Xiaoman was very feisty in the beginning of the story, but got mellow with Lin as time went by. On the other hand, Lin ended up adjusting to the village life and slowly loved it.

Music
This drama has a nice, soft music theme, but nothing special nor dramatic.

Rewatch Value
I found that it is worth to rewatch some of the episodes to see the beautiful sceneries of the village, or to capture some moments between the two main characters.

Scenery/ /Filmography
One of the nicest drama films with scenic and beautiful photography of the country farm , including the views of the greens, farm fields and rustic farm's life.

Personal Comments
- Nice old fashioned dresses worn by Xiaoman during the photo sessions.
- Xiaomen looked very pretty with the pink old fashioned costume for the photo set near the creek. She looked good in either wearing the farm jean and hat, or when she worked in the office.
- The length of the drama is excellent and not too long. The story was not too complicated, but it has unique story depicting agricultural activities.
- I wonder how Xiaoman can quickly adapted to working office environtment if she was just a naive farm girl?
