Genius screenwriters – My absolute Favourite Cdrama !

After watching nearly 100 Cdramas and an equal number of Kdramas, I finally decide to write my first review because I’ve found my favourite Cdrama (Meet Yourself = You Feng De Di Fang). I am not sure why this English title since it is not a literal translation, but I think it is quite appropriate. I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey with the Yunmiao village people. How I wish it was a real place we could travel to and stay there. There are beautiful sceneries in China but here the landscape, farms, houses, markets, narrow alleys, seaside views, and mostly the people captivate our hearts. The vision of sustainable village development resonates with me who was born on a very small island still struggling to earn income from tourism.

The relationship development between the lead couple was a model of maturity, wisdom, good communication, realistic understanding of each other’s needs, mutual time and space giving, selfless love but keeping the childish playfulness, humour, and hot romance. The stories of each person were all real-life situations. I love the characters with their beautiful personalities as well as their weirdness and weaknesses. Xie nainai is indeed my heroine, I regret I have no grannies.

I have no words for the script writing. I have also watched Go Ahead another favourite Cdrama from the same screenwriters. The writers are amazing geniuses to come up with such wholesome conversations as some have said, chicken soup for the soul. I can rewatch, which I don’t usually do, just to enjoy the script so beautifully and simply worded. No frills or make believe. It was all so sincere and touching. There is no need for plots in such setting.

The actors were all top-notch. I have not watched any of their previous work, but I will follow them from now on. They made me feel part of their conversations and stories. Their acting does not feel like acting at all. They felt like real people and performed so naturally. Crystal Liu’s voice is really soothing.

The OST’s music and lyrics matched the script perfectly.

Someone said she will recommend this masterpiece drama for the rest of her life. I will do same. It is not exaggerated to say that I may have to wait for some time to get this one dethroned as my absolute favourite! I count on you dear screenwriters ?
