Great Drama with Strong and Smart Female Lead

This is definitely not the usual drama with glamorous looking leads. The story takes place in a small village in China, so everyone dressed accordingly and with minimal make up, no fuss hairstyles.

I started this because I'm a fan of Zhao Li Ying and Luo Jin. Watching ep 1, I had my hesitation because I found out Luo Jin is not the main lead (actually he didn't appear until much later episodes, 4 I think and it was very brief) and the small village minded people really annoyed me. But sadly that what really happen in small villages, so what can I say.

Zhao Li Ying's acting was so natural that I couldn't stop watching. And it got better and better, I kept on watching, even though without English subtitles and I don't even understand Mandarin. The subtitle comes at a snail pace. Now we're at episode 20, and subtitles is still at ep 8.

Good news is Luo Jin starts to appear regularly at ep 18/19 because that's when Xing Fu and her husband moved to the city to find work (and accidentally encountered Luo Jin's character who has a small law firm).

Interaction of Luo Jin and Li Ying, even though just working relationship, is so beautiful to watch, I kept watching without knowing what the heck they're saying haha. They're such wonderful actors!!!

I find Xing Fu's husband as the most annoying character. He makes me feel nervous with his stupidity and small village mindset! I also wonder what will happen with Xing Fu's sister.
