A Chinese drama away from the white company interiors
I love simplicity. I love Everyman characters. I also love romance that is grounded and is a source of support rather than anxiety. I got all those traits here.
Yet again I found a drama that is set away from the cities and I loved it. There is something about those little town communities that strikes very close to your heart. The added bonus here is that the characters match the grounded setting and they too strike very close to your heart.
I am a fan of Jimmy Stewart and Tom Hanks. One thing they have common is their ability to portray Everyman hero. The male lead Gao Zhi Ting has that ability which is so rare in Asian actors. There is a simple charm about him that makes you like both him and the female lead Jerry Lin almost instantly. Then you have his group of friends, each with their individual struggles. But the biggest win are the parents. The way they are characterized is heartwarming.
If you like slice of life, if you are tired of the same old plastic suited stones, if you like to keep your family close you will love this drama. If nothing else watch this for the setting and the two leads. They are the real hook in this story.
