I just finished watching Lighting Up the Stars, and it was such a lovely father-daughter dynamic. One of the most touching details for me was when Xiaowen got lost and actually remembered the address San Mei made her memorize before she left. That scene really hit me emotionally.
When San Mei secretly gave the little girl back to her mother without telling his friends, they all got furious with him. With that big argument—and then on top of that, the sudden news of his father passing away—I honestly thought everything was going to turn into a mess and go downhill again. But it was a really beautiful finale; I’m so glad she didn't have to separate from her mother either. It wasn't overly dramatic or sappy, but since I’ve been watching too many political and comedy shows lately, this sweet emotional touch was exactly what I needed.
