A Drama You Don't Want To Rush

One of my top dramas now. I watched this weeks ago and I feel like I was with them at Yunnan. I even added Yunnan to my travel list. Something about the production made me felt familiarity making me want to live there. Then I realize, that's the kind of life and romance(?) I wanted to experience and have. A life where you live every day. I love the romance journey of Hongdou and Xie Zhi Yao. So natural and comfortable with each other. Love the chemistry. I fell in love with Liu Yifei, I only noticed her now. I love her demeanor and how she converses is natural, just like an everyday conversation which is critical for this kind of drama. This is a slow-paced drama where you want to watch it relaxingly and not rush. Because one of the thing I regret is I watched too fast, and I feel so empty now T_T

Please produce more of dramas like these!!! Life is so stressful we need these healing dramas.

A Drama Who Holds A Special Place In My Heart

This drama saved my youth. I watched this years ago and I can remember walking upstairs so I could sneak into watching it premier. It accompanied me throughout the dark and fun times in my life. I even wished to meet the author of the book this drama has adapted to. I want to personally thank her and bringing the character Qiaoyi in this world. I personally saved the quotes I liked and until now, I use and look back to them, I deeply sympathize with Qiaoyi's insecurities. In some dramas, the writers seem to just put a random problem a character face and romanticize it having male leads coming over to solve things for them. Qiaoyi may be a timid girl, but she is strong, of course with the help of people around her. I love how the brother-sister relationship here was portrayed unlike on the other dramas where they seem to be fighting all time giving a little screen time to the times, they help each other. The two siblings are not afraid to show their affection and intention to help each other. I loved how the book was written specifically when Qiaoyi was so depressed and how Guanchao helped her with his words and actions. I love the stepfather-children relationship where dramas often portray them being evil or against with each other. And of course, I love Yan Mo's character. Am I being weird when I say he is the male lead in c-dramas who portrayed being cold but soft in the inside the best? He did it naturally! I love so many things on this drama that until now it lingers to me. I wish there could be more dramas that are not heavily plot driven but with great characters, actors, script, acting, and production and a warm wholesome. A natural romance journey with character development. A drama you could watch where you won't be stressed the entire time.
