Cute, healling romance with an exceptionnal aesthetic aspect

Drama remarkable for the beauty of its images, landscapes, the enhancement of traditional craftsmanship.
The architecture is magnificent!! => this drama was filmed in Wuyi County in Zhejiang, at the Jingyuan Ancient Houses Museum . Now, I just want to visit !!

Plot: "impulsive" marriage between 1 career banker FL (craving a family live and home) and 1 ML, handsome, very introverted, architect/craftsman, who restored an old village (that of his adoptive grandfather) for help local artisans. In this unlikely couple, each one will gain the trust of the other, heal the wounds of the past and gradually build a solid bond.

PROS:
+ people who like art, crafts, history,... will appreciate the images, the scenery, EVERYTHING is exceptional.
+ the actors are good, especially the ML who speaks little, but his eyes express so many emotions!
+ no big twist or "great evil", the story is simple enough to be realistic.
+ the production is effective: slow on certain emotional passages, more often dynamic. There are no lengths.
+ The song lyrics just fit the drama so well.

CONS
- the animals (puppies, kittens) are all babies who don't grow during the 3 years that the series is supposed to last :) ;)
- Some story arcs are hasty and give the impression that the difficulties were solved too easily.
- the brother's character is ambiguous, it is difficult to define him for a long time.

=> a short series (23 ep. of 35 minutes) comforting and very aesthetically pleasing.

Drama remarquable par la beauté de ses images, des paysages, la mise en valeur de l'artisanat traditionnel.
L'architecture est magnifique !! => this drama was filmed in Wuyi County in Zhejiang, at the Jingyuan Ancient Houses Museum .
Plot : mariage "impulsif" entre 1 banquière carriériste (en manque de famille et d'1 maison) et 1 ML, beau, très introverti, architecte/artisan, qui a restauré un ancien village (celui de son gd-père adoptif) pour aider les artisans locaux. Dans ce couple improbable, chacun va gagner la confiance de l'autre, soigner les blessures du passé et construire peu à peu un lien solide.
PROS :
+ les personnes qui aiment l'art, l'artisanat, l'histoire,... apprécierontles images, les décors, TOUT est exceptionnel.
+ les acteurs sont bons, surtout le ML qui parle peu, mais ses yeux expriment tant d'émotions !
+ pas de gros twist ni de "great evil", la story est assez simple pour être réaliste.
+ la réalisation est efficace : lente sur certains passages émotionnels, dynamique le plus souvent. Il n'y a pas de longueurs.
+ The lyrics just fit the drama so so well.
CONS
- les animaux (chiots, chatons) sont tous des bébés qui ne grandissent pas durant les 3 ans que la série est censée durer :) ;)
- Certains arcs narratifs sont même hâtifs et donnent l'impression que les difficultés ont été résolues trop facilement.
- le personnage du frère est ambigu, on a longtemps du mal à le cerner.

=> une série courte (23 ép. de 35 minutes) réconfortante et très esthétique.
