Actual realistic slice-of-life masterpiece

I can not truly put in words how much I enjoyed this drama. This drama is as the plot summary suggests about characters in their 20/30's that deal with various life problems. However, with this drama, these problems actually feel relatable and not just made up for the sake of it. It even touches on topics that you don't often see about in other dramas.
The story writing is phenomenal: all the plot points are intriguing and the pacing is really on-point. You get to experience so many emotions within a single episode. The conversations felt so organic and filled with adlibs from the actors. There are no overly annoying, dramatic characters, or big plot twists, but instead, we got a cohesive story with a lot of "mundane" conversations. There are also multiple couples, but romance is not at all the focus of this drama.
The casting is also great. Zhou Yutong as always was amazing. Ren Su Xi is with a 10/10 performance imo. There is nothing to critize her for, and i felt like she kinda freestyled most of here lines, so amazing to watch. Overall the cast is super solid, even the "weaker" actors were well above average.

There is so much more to say about this drama, but for that i suggest you to watch this drama, you wont regret it. I do not rewatch dramas, but i feel like i will rewatch this drama in the future, as it is really a one-of-a-kind.
