Yang Peng Cheng does it again! He really has a knack for picking good dramas. "Ming Mu Zhang Dan" is a well-made, introspective jiejie romance that features a sweet, mature relationship between the leads. All of the characters (including the supporting characters) also have interesting conversations about love, life, respect, societal expectations, and even motherhood. The FL is rational and doesn't take crap from anyone, and Yang Peng Cheng's character is basically Prince Charming. Everything goes well, and even though that's not how life works, the drama manages to craft a fantasy without making it overly dramatic like a lot of verticals. Certain aspects of the drama (like the FL's worries about the future) still felt realistic.

If you're looking for a mature, feel-good jiejie romance, look no further. "Ming Mu Zhang Dan" is a very enjoyable, comfortable watch.
