Hello Dear Ancestors (2018)

This drama is so underrated for being one of the best I’ve ever seen. It has a little bit of everything, comedy, drama, friendship, and one of the most touching romances ever. I admit I was skeptical at first because I didn’t feel Chen Zhe Yuan and Dong Qing would be a match, but the characters work so beautifully together and have great chemistry.

Unlike most Asian dramas, they actually act like they love each other. They are very touchy and the female lead actually admits her attraction to the male lead. The characters are all quite unique and interesting.

There are some twists and turns, some angst, and the most adorable male lead of all. Acting is on point, especially Chen Zhe Yuan. He totally became Zhen Jun and brought him to life. I cried and suffered and smiled and felt happy with him. I don’t cry watching dramas, but dang, this boy ripped out my heart. Anyone who has ever said anything negative about his acting, know that during the filming of this he got so into character during a dramatic/sad scene that he actually passed out. That’s dedication.

I highly recommend giving this a try. The music is amazing. And the opening sequence and song are so good I could just sit watching it on repeat. I’m going to miss this drama so much.
