If you want a life lesson shoved down your throat in every episode..

Lets start with the good.

- The scenery is gorgeous. I’m about to book my next trip to Yunnan.

- Liu Yi Fei is stunning. The whole show is basically of her walking around with her beautiful hair and amazing outfits.

- The grandma. Girlfriend stole the scene every single time.

- The food looks delicious. I was constantly craving Chinese food when I watched it.

- Slow burn romance. It was sweet.

Now for the not so good.

- I know this is a slice of life healing drama but the show overdid it. Every time there’s a conversation, someone always have something insightful to say (as emotional music plays in the background). Life lessons were constantly being spoon fed to viewers. It’s like the show doesn’t trust viewers to understand if they do it subtly. Everything was spelled out with endless, boring, educational conversations.

- This could’ve easily been a 30 episode drama. It could’ve been one episode less just by cutting all the scenes of that guy drinking tea and meditating..

- I started fwding parts with minor characters such as the struggle of that auntie who’s son went to prison, her bickering with that other auntie, tea/meditating dude’s business ventures, writer’s block girl (even though she’s such a cute actress), all the singing by the singer.. it was too much.

- Liu Yi Fei’s acting. I don’t know if it’s only me but her expressions and movements are always muted so I don’t always catch what she’s trying to convey. For example, there was one scene where she’s supposed to seem jealous but because of her lack of expressions I thought she was not interested. It was only until the ML pointed it out that she’s jealous that I understood.

This is getting too long. Overall, not bad but feel free with forward.
