The Best C-Drama
Initially, I was not too excited to watch this drama because I knew that the story would be slow, typical of the slice-of-life genre, plus the number of episodes is also quite a lot.But because it's Lin Xian and Liu Yi Fei, it seems a shame if you don't try to watch it at all. And that's the right decision. The chemistry between ML and FL undoubtedly matches the big names they have. I think this is FL's best chemistry with Lin Xian.
This drama is beautiful apart from the scenery and storyline that warm you. Especially those who are 30 years old and above must relate to the storyline and more or less understand the turmoil felt by Xu Hong Dou (Liu Yi Fei). After working for years and feeling like she has given her best, it turns out that life is still the same and feels like s, he has missed many moments but also doesn't know how to quit the existing routine.
Not to mention the problems faced by other characters in this drama, making us realize that everyone will have their problems. We fight our own battles.
The dialogue throughout the drama is also deep as if we are sitting with Xu Hong Dou, Na Na, and Da Mai or being advised by Granny Xie.
The best Chinese drama production in my opinion so far. Both in terms of the story, the clothes, and the cinematography. The slow phase is even an advantage because we are made to slowly get to know the characters and the village, so it's not like watching a drama but being a real villager LOL
After watching this, I wondered if it's necessary to break from all the routines and go faraway places without a single person we know to really know the purpose of our lives and who we really are, to meet ourselves.

YOU WILL LIKE IT>>>> DON'T HESITATE TO WATCH!!!!!!
story:An amazing storyline with beautiful details.... everything in the story is connected to one or the other. The story makes total sense. There is no confusion in the story or the characters... there might be some confusion in the character's name (for beginners) but toward the end, you could remember almost every single character's name!! wow!!
casts:
Not gonna lie..... every single person has my respect!! Casts have been beautifully chosen and they are perfect for their role(s). There are character developments and beautiful representations of friendships and they have shown the different points of view of people and people's struggles.. everything is shown in an understandable way!!
my points:
Guysssss!!! it's an amazing drama with everything you would like to see. YES.. it is a slow-paced rom-com but you know what? it's worth the wait... trust me.............. I was in an unbelievable state when they both start their relationship!!! they both have excellent chemistry and the understanding between them is just wow¬¬ this drama gave me butterflies in my stomach when there are any sweet/cute scenes.

Great tv for everyone
There are many moments, i don't know what to do, i'm not happy. In these times, i would like to watch a few eps of this show, it's so beautiful, heart-warming, makes me feels alive again.YiFei 's acting is perfect, she is not just a beautiful actress, but also a skilled one. She knows here character well, and know how to make the audience feels how she feels. I have watched some of the others show, like Mulan(2020), which is the most famous one maybe, she was a warrior in this moive, totally different from Xu Hongdou(In Meet yourself). Everytime, she will totally dive into the scence and the stories.
This show also present a beautiul please in China, which is the YunNan provience. It's in the southwest of china, near the border. People lives there are very happy, very different life compare to other places in china. Many of my friends would like to take a tour there after they watch this show.

THE HEALER WE ALL NEED
In the world full of uncertenity,stress,depression,hard life,unplanned messes and noises,Someone thought of "Meet yourself" I read somewhere in the comment section,someone said that when life gets hard nd unbearaable,they just think of moving to a chinese village in the middle of nowhere and i feel the same lol.This has been my healing drama of all the times,It introduced me to the rural most authentic and amaizingly beautiful China.What a fresh of breath air,what an amzing scenery,Every scene felt like a holiday in a care free country, where there is no worries.I remember the horde scenes a long the vast rivers, the farm with cows and two seat on th verandah where the leads would seat and watch the sunset or the sunrise,Gosh who thought of this idea?
There is so mujch goodness in this drama that words are not enough,I think you have to experience it on your own.THe sense of community around this drama was out of this world,every character was running from something but the moment they arrive in this village,it seemed like all their worries flew by in front of our eyes.THe show lietrally is so good that you feel like you are a part of grandma's circle.
The two seasoned actors Li XIan and Liu Yifei put on a show to remember.
If you are looking for a quiet,slow paced holiday destination to meet your self..tHis is a show for you

I want to quit my job and live in a small town now.
What a beautiful drama. 🥺💜 This is my first ever review, normally I'll just leave a rating but I can't help myself to not write a review for this fantastic healing drama. The casts, the plot, the main storyline and sub storyline are all like a warm cup of coffee in a cold starry night. I watched this during my lowest too and even though I'm still having existential crisis, I will definitely keep in mind the lessons I learned from watching this show. Truly, I have no other words 😭. I'm still processing everything after I finished this show and now i don't know what to do post meet yourself. The ending is beautiful. Will definitely rewatch this if I ever feel down again. This is now my favorite drama. 🥺Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Well spent 40 episodes drama
I rarely watch dramas with more than 20 episodes, but somehow it led me to watch “Meet Yourself”.A drama with 40 episodes, but it’s worth it. There was no dragging moments. It is well written, great actors, and sceneries were very detailed.
Whenever I listened to the drama’s OST, it brings me back to which part it was played.
About the love story Dou and Yao , I totally love it. There was jealousy, pride and quarrel but at the right amount, not a challengers in a drama. A healthy relationship.
Dou and Yao’s characters are my favorite, but it doesn’t make the other characters less. Just my personal preference.
P.S.
I can’t unsee Yao’s dance ☺️😍

Expectation of life summarized in 40 Episodes !!
This drama is the perfect example of how vulnerable humas are !! It does not matter what color of skin or culture you come from, we all experiment a moment in life were feeling defeated is the common goal. This drama tells the story of a successful professional that learned the hard and sad way how life should work.This is how we humans develop relations that would make us feel alive. Understanding how different cultures help you heal when you need it the most makes this drama a gem. An example, I come from a culture that is known for its vibrant colors, the happy we live, how music plays a role and how exited we are to enjoy every aspect. Latin culture for most is that a set of extravagant people that dance to every opportunity we have. The other side of Latin culture that often people do not see is how important family and values are for us and how we respect and always remember to maintain those values.
Understanding how timing works in life and how every new thing we learn in life can make us better is the final message of this drama.
The characters, children, granys, and side characters ,make this drama develop a fond with everyone. A simple drama with a positive message that feels is meant for you in your OWN INDIVIDUAL way.
Do not hesitate and watch this gem !!!

Slow Burning Love
This drama is the same genre as Go Ahead. I might say it's somehow much better because it deals with more adult matters, and how the relationship of the main leads are very respectful and mature.The main leads have a very strong chemistry. Li Xian is so adorable, the way he looks at the FL, you can really see love! I wasn't really his fan before, even though I liked Go Go Squid, I watched it mainly because of Yang Zi. But this drama made me his fan!
Crystal Liu, she's so beautiful and so calming. I also wasn't her fan before, I watched her in Once Upon a Time (with Yang Yang). That movie made me cringe even though I love Ten Miles of Peach Blossom. Anyway, I love her in this drama.
The reason for not giving a 10 is because the side characters storyline. Some of them are okay, but some I really don't care about (like the singer, the guy who meditated a lot, the spoiled girl who's Dad has a supermarket, the novelist, the waitress - wait aren't they all of them hahaha). I understand the side characters storyline are important to bring the drama to intertwine together. And I did watch them all (fast forwarding the singer and the meditate guy).
They have lots of very catchy beautiful songs, some which I put in my Spotify playlist.
Overall a beautiful drama to watch and I will wholeheartedly recommend this (and recommend you to just fast forward the sideline stories you're not interested on haha).

AN ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL DRAMA
What a terrific drama. you feel like you are watching a period of time in the life of a village, not actors in a drama. It is so so well done. The ML and FL were brilliant, there relationship is natural and caring. Granny was outstanding, she has a smile in her eyes, a little mischievous, fabulous, as were all the Aunties, the children all were wonderful. The cinematography , the music, perfect. the whole drama was soothing, calming, caring, the conversations were really worth listening too. A lot of wisdom. and fun also. i was indeed sad when i watched the last episode, so i have just rewatched it. and enjoyed it all again, and of course you see something you missed the first time around. Many thanks to the cast and crew for producing such a wonderful dramaVond je deze recentie nuttig?
