I want to hold your hand and not leave this mortal world.

I just watched the first episode.
The main sentence of the drama is: I want to experience the extraordinary. (In other words, she doesn't want to have a mediocre life), in which her boss humiliates her and makes her go so far to buy coffee just because this small-town boss wants to show who's boss.
But at the same time it's as if the plot wants to show us that she wants to experience everything, not miss anything (the plot wants to show us the pleasure of having lived through several choices). Not having the displeasure of saying: I chose this life but I couldn't live the other (although the other life doesn't know about this life), the story makes us feel as if we had been able to experience it (and you won't be able to look back and say: I didn't I was able to live this).
Who is the male lead, someone asked here: Obviously it is Yu Jian (Liu Xue Yi), the boy who dreams of a simple life, having a wife, children, grandchildren. (But...wait a minute, he's not failing to live out his dream of being a great engineer).
The main couple ride a motorbike through the beautiful little town and say to each other: You will be Mr. Boss, I will also be Mrs. Boss. (In other words: We will be important). We will not be mediocre (as if they said that).
Well: What's special about this male lead? The very song that closes the episode says: "I want to be with you. I want to hold your hand and not leave this mortal world." "A Wonderful Life is this simple song." "No need to choose."
But the episode ends with her in the other reality, with her sophisticated boss from the big city. And Yu Jian's father's health problems, what happened? We'll find out in the next episode.
