A must watch for Slice of Life fans out there

The plot follows our four female leads who, under different circumstances, find themselves returning to their hometown. Zhang Pei returns to establish her company’s branch in Chengdu; Dan Dan is trying to avoid her husband; and Wu Yun is assigned to work in the local community. Then there’s Jia Xi, who returned to take care of her sick mother. Each has their own set of problems to deal with that are all easy to follow and sympathize with. The story has all the classic elements of the genre that it's not too hard to predict where everything will fall.

So where exactly does the magic comes from? Two words. Star chemistry.

The chemistry between the cast was just wonderful. My enjoyment of this show came from how well-executed the dynamics between the characters were. From family to friends to romantic partners, each relationship has enough heart to pull me through. I cried because I felt the anxiety of seeing your parents grow old. I remembered the hurt of being misunderstood by them. Then the sadness of the thought of losing them. I laughed because I remembered how silly I was in my younger years. Then I cried again, because there’s a part of me that missed that. I was in a cycle of laughter and tears because of this show.

Then, let’s not forget the romance. Guys, THE ROMANCE!!! I could write an entire essay about the romance in this show. But for now, I can only offer a quick breakdown. Zhang Pei and Xie Yang is everything. My blueprint. My roman empire. Dan Dan and Qi Pu are for all the noona romance fanatics out there. Wu Yun and Liu Wen Shan? Pure souls. Watching two kind-hearted people fall in love will never fail to make me believe in true love. Then Jiaxi and Yin Le—these two got me smiling and blushing with their chemistry. And again, all the actors nailed the right chemistry for their own story.
