“ There’s no place like home”

I just stumbled this drama in YT , It’s fairly new and ongoing. I’m not fond in multi-main leads drama I’m more of a solo main leads drama viewer, but for some reason, when I started watching episode 1 , the drama gives me a good vibes and before I knew it , I already binge watching the first 5 episodes , I just have to endure the subtitle in YT which I know it’s not really 100% accurate but it’s understandable anyway.

One thing really captured me right away is how amazing and very cinematic , very eye captivating the scenery they showed particularly in this place or hometown where this 4 main leads characters originally came from. It makes me wants to go or visit that place. Also, even if it is early for me to say , but any 4 main leads characters in this story seems like really relatable of where you at in your life right now. I liked how they chose the respective actress who portrays each role , each of the character appeared cosmetically so natural ,and their appearance, their outfits it’s just believable in real life and not so looked -like so white or very bright face or with an OTT heavy make up and thick lipstick or need to have an actress with an hour glass body or a dressing a shabby clothes , it’s just right in the middle to me , perfect ,I liked so far all of the characters personality inner and outer.

So, this 4 friends was grew up together in this beautiful town ( I can’t remember the name of the place but this will be the setting of the story)but was working in different cities in their adulthood.
Something happened to each of their lives that brings them back together to their hometown, where they grew up.

First FL— Zhang Pei, she’s in an insurance business. Still single at her ripe age, successful in her career and she look stiff , strict , seems very capable independently woman , but seems like deep inside she’s lonely and vulnerable. She’s actually a big baby when she’s with her parents. I love her family, the caring mom and dad. If you grew up in a single parent household , it makes you dreamed and longed to have a family like hers. There’s a glimpsed of cute and handsome love interest of her later , so I’m excited to see and find out later. She attended blind dates but I feel what she felt ,those men are actually pretty bold and idiots to me, one blind date made me laugh , he said he wants his woman “ talk less and work less” , it’s funny ZP’s reaction and she answered “ but I’m an insurance agent and I need to work , so we are not suitable “ . lol?.


2nd FL— Gou Dan Dan, she’s a food vlogger, she dressed so fashionably , stylish ( I like all her outfits). She is in a 6 years relationship with her boyfriend. They lived together until one day , she surprised him to come home early and caught him cheating with his close friend a friend in that city where she lived before moving to her hometown.I like her character, fiesty and don’t put up any BS from the cheater and decided right away to dispatched him, cut all his communication to him and decided right away to move out from their place. Later she found out she got pregnant and this is where she decided to move back to her hometown for a good cause for her baby. I am excited to her story because there is a glimpsed of “ noona romance “ later n her life (noona romance is my favorite genre in drama).

3rd FL— Wu Yun, she is a civil servant, she seems like a timid and shy person but not when she’s with her grew up friends. She’s actually an upbeat and very talkative when she’s with them. Her character seems a very kind, so giving person. She might not have a body of hour glass woman , she looks tomboyish , but her genuine personality makes her a very attractive person( my opinion to her) . Actually I’m very excited to see her character development later. I like to know what will be her story later. I am sensing a " noona romance " story of her too.

Dong Jia Xi , the 4th FL, I think she’s the youngest of all the FL’s here. She works in the theater. She is a hard worker. I can’t wait for her to slam and quit her job in theater to be back in her hometown, those seniors and other people in the theater really take advantage of her too much that even if it’s not her job they really abused her
“ too obedient “ personality. She also have a cute love interest that I can sensed it later.

The first 5 episodes shows and introduced the viewers ( if my vibes not mistaken) the love interest of the 4 female lead characters. In fairness, they are all handsome and cute - minus the cheater, but even him he is not a bad looking either, but what a big cheater he is!

Even if it is early to say since it’s a very new drama , but this story has a magic of realizing one self about , no matter where you are in life , nor you are in beautiful abundant opportunities places you were and in now , there’s some point in your life that makes you appreciate the beauty of where you came from and the familiar smell, noise and the culture of the place where you originally came from is a very good realization that makes you utter “ I Wanna go home , please take me home .”

It’s a daily and 36 episodes drama , I can handle this lol , as long as it’s not too draggy. Will update this review later when I accomplish this series.
