I don't know about the others, but I like those 2 english songs a lot.

Yes, Jules translation was so good. Jules actually wants to be a translator. I can see her bright future as a translator.

I dropped my first review in MDL. Please read the review (this drama) and let me know what you think.

For those who are looking for subs, official subs (both Huace and Viki) of ep 26- ep 29 got leaked. Those are genuine subs proofread by the official subtitle team. Someone posted the link 15 hours ago here in the comment section. Just check that comment if you are interested. Not sure if it is the legal thing to do by telling you this.

Yes, It's up to you. Some people might not like some dramas and quit after a few episodes. But I did not see a single person on this drama page who actually watched this drama and complained. If you give time, it will become one of the best dramas for you. Good luck!

Yes, I watched Hometown CCC, one of my favorites.
Yes, Hometown CCC might be most similar to this drama. But still, it is different. Like Hometown CCC, this drama also is based on a small village, maybe a bigger community than Hometown CCC. The happy good feeling vibe is kinda similar in both dramas. That's all for similarities. Here you get a long list of characters, characters are more fun to watch, and conversations are more natural and more insightful. A lot of emotions and life lessons. And a top-notch script. Probably the best screenwriting I have watched so far. You will eventually see the difference.

wow, great review. A great write-up. Looking forward to your next reviews.

Well, genre-wise this is like healing, heartwarming, slice-of-life drama. But in truth, it has its own genre. I have watched more than 400 dramas/movies, maybe 20-30 healing, slice-of-life dramas. But this is different. A strange mixture of all the genres.
One unique characteristic of this drama is that it is conversation or interaction driven. Most of the magical moments come from just simple conversations between the characters. Unlike other dramas where you just fast-forward the conversations and try to find some interesting moments. Here every minute and every conversation is fun to watch. Those tell us different stories, and different values and give us different emotions, insights, and life lessons. Sometimes, those conversations make you cry due to emotions, sometimes those make you cry due to happiness. As I said, This is a unique drama. You must watch to get your own opinion.
As for enjoyment, the drama keeps getting better and better. The first episodes are introductory. Once you get to know the characters, you will enjoy them more. Just for example, ep 10 is more exciting than ep 5. Then ep 20 is more fun than ep 10. Then ep 30 is more exciting than ep 20 like that.
Romance-wise, romance is not the main genre, but romance is well made. You might find romance better than some of the very big or fan-favorite romantic dramas.
I tried to make it short, but actually, I wrote a lot.

This was the end of probably one of the greatest dramas that were ever made. Don't know how long it would take for me to enjoy another drama that at least gives half of the enjoyment that this drama gave.

Ep 40.. Its fine. I also did the same. (I wrote this in another thread, just pasting it here..:D, I'm a bit lazy i guess )
Looking at the ending first is okay here. As we already know, what the ending would be like. Tbh, the plot is kinda predictable. But the greatness of the drama also lies in its predictability. As most of the occurrences in our life are predictable like this drama. Still, life is extraordinary. The drama is also the same, extraordinary. You just have to watch it. No matter how much you get spoiled or how many times you watch, it is still enjoyable.

Yeah, I'm watching it slowly now. I will try to discuss the ep maybe the next few days. Then move on.
Your bad habit...:D I totally get you. But for this drama it's fine. We already know, what the ending would be like. Tbh, the plot is kinda predictable. But the greatness of the drama also lies on this predictability. As most of the occurrences in our life are predictable like this drama. Still, life is extraordinary. The drama is also the same, extraordinary. You just have to watch it. No matter how much you get spoiled or how many times you watch, it is still enjoyable.

Same here, I just started from ep 32. Feeling emotional already that, after today no new episodes will be coming. Nothing like watching 2 episodes, and then come here and discuss about the episodes. It's a mix feeling.

What a surprise!!!! All the episodes are out!! Official subtitles (till ep 29) got leaked. I wonder if Huace tv and Viki take legal action on this. But, for us Its time to enjoy. I'm also kinda sad. No more new episodes after today :(

Hope, Viki releases the episodes early. 3 days is too much. I hope they release 2 episodes on Monday.

MDL ratings are very confusing these days. Actually, a 9 rating for this drama was unrealistic, But this drama also deserves more than 7.9. The ideal rating might be somewhere between 8 and 8.5. We can wait, drama ratings will rise for sure.

Yeah, as you explained, these might be the better ways to deal with the problem. At least, they don't need to install a video player. But also, for many of the people who are not used to handling an external video file, anything you say about the video player would confuse them more. It's better if you could just delete the chinese srt file and rename the english srt file when uploading things.

Anyway thanks. I can see you are the same as some of us, who just can't wait for english sub release. Actually, machine translation is not ideal. There are a lot of mistakes and nobody is there to proofread things. Also, the main charm of this drama is the conversations between the characters. Machine sub is not ideal in this case. But still, it is worth watching with the machine sub. We can just watch the episode again when the official sub is released. One good thing about this drama, its rewatch value is more than 100%, so you can watch the episodes multiple times. :D... Thanks, again.

The main leads are fun to watch, and so far the drama is doing good.

Don't worry about the rating. If you are watching the drama, you already know this drama is criminally underrated and deserves way better. But, there is nothing you can do about that.

If you look at the rating statistics (by age group), you can see the original rating is 8.9 or 9. If you compare similar statistics with some very big kdramas, you see they also have similar statistics. But the main difference is they get more than 50000 votes from the users, this drama only gets 390 votes. So, this drama will never achieve that rating. So, don't worry too much. Just enjoy this beautiful drama while you can.

hello, I don't know which video player are you using. But using default players of windows might not be a good idea. I recommend vlc player (free to download), or kmplayer. You can see, 2 subtitles files are there (uploaded by the OP) for each episodes. By default, it will show the chinese sub, as that file has the same name with video file. So you need to manually insert the subtitle file. In vlc player, it is very easy. Just drag the file to the video, and it will show english sub afterwards. In other players, you might need to go to subtitle option and add subtitle file.
This might seem like difficult process. (I can't do anything about this process, coz files were uploaded this way by the OP) But it is very easy process. One time you do that, you will see there is nothing complex to that. If any problem, just search google.

you need to unzip the file first; I don't use android. But I think you can find several apps for unzipping. Then you can open the file. Also, subtitle files are separate. So, it's better to use vlc player or other multipurpose players.
