BEST ROLE OF ZHOU YE

Undeniably, this is the best role of actress Zhou Ye! I started this drama both for the cast and for its theme, convinced that she would fight it with a lioness intensity. Transmigration, well known in C-dramas, always works as well: it maintains the suspense and pushes us to ask ourselves, at every moment, how all this will end.

The drama plunges us mainly into the 80s, while making us move forward and grow, year after year, alongside the protagonists.

We follow a young woman who finds herself transmigrated into the body of a poor 18-year-old girl. Despite this situation, she refuses to let herself be brought down and decides to take advantage of this new life, whatever the reason, while waiting to find a way out. Faced with many injustices, she has no choice but to shake things up and restore order, both in her own life and in that of her loved ones - or even strangers. With her knowledge of the modern world, she builds a real shell and imposes herself in commerce, brilliant among men in a harsh universe where women have little space.

I particularly admired her courage and determination: she always adopts the right attitude in the face of trials. And in addition, his outfits fit him wonderfully! (It almost looks like ZHOU YE was born for that time!)

On the romance side, it's really the stum! What chemistry with his co-actor! I found it absolutely unique and precious that they do not leave a sole, from the first to the very last episode. Frankly, in which drama do we see such a constant relationship?

Without clichés or unnecessary misunderstandings, their story is of a rare fluidity and sincerity - almost idyllic. And what about the male lead / husband? He too is simply perfect: strong, seductive, attentive, understanding, always there to support her... In short, there would be so much to say about him!

Together, they form a truly ideal couple.

I found this drama really special, driven by an excellent cast, a dream romance and a determined heroine who represents the female gender in the most beautiful way.

The story offers several subplots, related to the family as well as to the business world. I wouldn't say that everything fascinated me, but the two leads shine so much with their intelligence and presence that they remain, alone, the true crown of the drama.

I highly recommend this little nugget!

Ps: the end is really SUBLIME!
