Plot/Story 8.5/10
This is a unique romance drama with the backdrops of coffee and tea plantation businesses. It is about a young genius who decided to go into seclusion to follow his mom's wishes to regrow tea instead of the current family business of growing coffee.
Su Shi Yu is a struggling food blogger for Time Flies , a small company seeking prospect of work with the Haowei Coffee Company. Lin Wei is the son of the person who run the coffee company - Chairman Lin. Mr. Lin has some opposition from his brother in law - Uncle Jin. Lin Wei is a genius, a successful young scholar, who initially heading the Yuanqi Capital. But he decides to abandon it, and moves to the mountain to grow orange jasmine tea instead, following the wish of his departed mom. His dad was desperate to persuade him to go back to the family business and to fight off the competition from his Uncle Jin.
In the Wu Ming San mountain, Mr. Lin accidentally saw that his son was seen too close to Shi Yu and thought that they were kissing. He then asked Shi Yu to entice him to return to the company business for the price of a potential contract with the company if she is successful.
Shi Yu worked with his sidekick - Shu Yue, who actually the son of a big corporation where his mother is trying to get him working for her company instead. Shi Yu's best friend is Bai Ruan, who works for Uncle Jin. An old colleague of Lin Wei is Fei-fei, who has been chasing Lin Wei since school time and was helping him to regrow the tea plantation in the mountain. Fei-fei has the knowledge about agriculture, plantation and farming.
As Shi Yu tries to get Lin Wei to come back to town, they end up having to know each other and determine to continue developing the new tea plantation in the mountain, with the help of the people in the village.
Cast/Characters
Cast 8.5/10
Shi Yu was played by Tang Min, a pretty young actress and has a nice friendly smile. I think her role in this drama is perfect because of her personality. Lin Wei was played by Chen Jinke, who is tall, slender and has a rather unique beak nose. When he cut his hair short, he looks like a monk in a Shaolin temple. His flat and wide chest make him to look like an Olympic swimmer. Chairman Lin was played by Guo Zhen; Uncle Jin by Zhang Yu Chen; pretty and feisty Bai Run by Ji Tian Yu; young Shu Yue by Jerron Wu; and Fei-fei by Wang Zi Su.
Characters 8.5/10
Shi Yu appears to be a lively character, and loved by the people in the village mountain. She is determine to get what she wants, and she dresses exceptionally well. Her slim built makes her very pretty appearances with all variety of dresses.
In Episode 14, she looks very sharp in a simple short white dress with black trimmings. The red qipao dress that was recommended by Mrs. Sha from the village and worn in Episode 15 was so beautiful, that the romantic setting that she created gets Lin Wei's attention. She is just so young, cheerful and beautiful.
Her rival - Fei-fei was played very well, although she finally accepted the fact that she is not in Lin Wei's heart and moves on. It is good that she finally met her man.
In Episode 9, a dramatic view of the village during a heavy rainfall after the tea seedling was destroyed by a storm. This is when Lin Wei was siting near a pond and get drenched from the rain and Shi Yu came with an umbrella and talked to him.
Music 7.5/10
Some nice music and dance performance by the village people, but nothing spectacular. Everyone appears to enjoy them and has a good time.
Re-watch value 8/10
I enjoyed watching this light drama, and re-watch some of the episodes. I like the interactions between the female and male characters - between Lin Wei and Shi Yu, uncle Jin and Bai Run, and Shu Yue and Fei-fei.
Scenery/Filmography 8/10
Some beautiful scenery of the country sites, the main building at the mountain, and the cheerfulness of the country's girls during dancing and festivities. These all add to the story of the drama.
Additional Personal Comments
- A beautiful set up of the Wu Ming San mountain, nice landscape of the tea plantation
- A cute moment when Shi Yu's foot kicked Lin Wei's chin while he was attending the wound in her foot. At that moment, they were getting too close and looked at each others intensely. At that moment, his dad came in the rain and thought that they were kissing. He then abruptly retreated, happy and said "there is still hope now".
- I like the ending of the drama, as well as the romantic outcomes for Bai Ruan, Shu Yue and Fei-fei.
- The pink, unique car that she was driving for her work is quite interesting, unusual and funny.
