Go Yi Yi Go (2010)

It's really hard for me to try and not write 10 paragraphs about this show. There's something about Yiyi - pretty but forgettable, smart but unexceptional, endearing but flawed Yiyi - that makes her so easy to relate to, to root for. Not just Yiyi, but every character in the show feels so organic, so real. They all have their worries, dreams, ambitions and selfishness. There's no grand sweeping gestures or all powerful movers - and that's ok, since Yiyi is not weak at all.

This is not a drama with big misunderstandings or big build-ups. It's mostly mundane things like workplace woes, or petty fights between friends. But it's through these mundane things that the show can help you learn how to handle relationship between coworkers, friends and lovers. As Yiyi was learning how to navigate through her life, I was learning alongside with her.

There's a type of food called comfort food, easy to digest and never lets you down. To me, Go Yiyi Go is like a comfort food perfect for a rainy day.
