Yep so nuanced! And the depth is just fascinating me. Such a meaningful drama!
I agree.
"Meet Yourself" for me ended up looking more like a travel and social development documentary .. at 40 episodes it meandered too much for me and I lost sight of the "drama" ..
I remember being SOLIDLY gripped AND sooo excited by the first few episodes of MY but it fizzled away lost ALL its tension build up which was there in the early eps..
It's definitely has its appeal for those who are looking for that feel.
WLIS is more my cuppa .. balances the inner life of the protagonists and doesn't lose sight of it as the prime story line even as it slides and slips over their external lives .. skims and dances over the supporting cast .. builds up the details of what makes them .. made them become who they are ..
It's rich in its drama and has me absolutely hooked studying each of their (ML & FL) expressions .. body language .. words .. reactions and behaviours ..

to highlight this EPIC Drama that just dropped its precious gold bars(6 eps on Viki) :
๐WILL LOVE IN SPRING ๐
Li Xian ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ Zhou Yu Tong
In a deep deep deep tale that will ๐ฏ๐ฏ sweep many who come here off their feet.
Such care in the crafting..
I wanna bow to the director and writer for this gift..
I just raised Zhou Yu Tong to Goddess of acting and Li Xian - he come far playing this MATURE role so suited to his mien and talent.
All the aegyo - the silly - the inane - the fluff - the cringe has been laundered out of this slice of life REAL, ADULT Drama which DOES NOT shy away from exploring what a REAL romance feels like.
Fertilizer for the mind - this!!! Unique setting too.
Tropes?? They turned it into meaningful use ๐๐ซฃ
Ufff so true!!!
After so so so LONG a drama that's filling up my heart like gurgling warm water.
I am 100% sure this is going to stay elevated at 10/10 evenly.
They havent PADDED it with ANYTHING unnecessary till now.
It's VERY different .. IMO
It has Li Xian and a VERY GOOD actress in it too ..
But their potential as was frittered away :-(
Read my previous comment on that.
BUT absolutely do check it out .. might click with you :-D
(After all, I had LOVED Ep 1 & 2 a lot; it had set my expectations high on a hill top and then let me slow slide into a rock filled dry valley ;-p )

IMO It's one of THE "Hall of Fame worthy" EPIC kiss scene in Cdrama.
Just unbelievable HOW FABULOUSLY it was captured!!!
One could SEE so many layers and layers of emotions gushing past their faces and bodies...
PHEW...
EPIC EPIC EPIC.
HATS off Director!!!!!!
Salut Zhou Yu Tong and Li Xian.
Raising you to acting pedestal - and ZYT ( you are my new Goddess of Actresses on Cdrama ๐ฉต๐๐ฉต
And wait until it canned!!!
And now I ate the entire pack of cookies ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
When will they send up more ๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช
โกโกโก๐ฉ๏ธ๐ฉ๏ธโกโกโก
Li Xian ๐ฅ Zhou Yu Tong
L๐ฉตVE the OST
This drama has such an addictive and unforgettable flavour.
I am praying that it's taut beauty continues and no strings break off and flap around!!
It's about a funeral parlor business and it's owners and the intersecting lives!!
The creators need to know how to tell a story and pull the viewer in - matters little what the actual setting is
Looks like quite a few of us HAD to come here and shed the hyper - excitement and happiness that's pouring out of our skin!!!
What a delicate - carefully made Drama.
The drama team took SUCH care with its making ๐ฅฐ๐๐ฅฐ๐๐ฅฐ
Thank you Team
Liang Cheng (screenplay) and Even Jiang (director)
