A romance between two very different people.
I went into this drama with no expectations as I didn’t really know the leads. However knowing that the male lead, Chen Xin Hai was basically debuting I was a little skeptical about it. Specially since I was at the time simultaneously watching “The Love You Give Me,” in which he played one of the secondary male leads, and I was not really liking his story line. However he demonstrated that despite being relatively new to the romance drama stage he was extremely versatile and could play really well a mature craftsman and in TLYGM a young swimming coach. The female lead I had seen once before in “Gank Your Heart,” and she was such an unimportant character that I didn’t even remember. Their love story was so beautiful to see, two people who were alone get together and join forces and despite it starting out as a sort of contractual marriage becoming a real thing pretty early on, I would say. The other leads stories were also pretty interesting to the point where I found myself invested in the entire cast not just the leads for once. The drama is smart and yes it has ex girlfriends that come back and “try” to break them off, but the main couple prevails and they don’t break up despite the distance towards the end. Something which I didn’t think the story needed to add at all. Anyways to finalize my random thoughts I personally really enjoyed this drama and highly recommend it. There is a healthy amount of drama but no unnecessary break ups, etc…Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
A Warm Story
What I like about this drama is the story. This one tells about Si Qing, who neglected by her family since young, and her only need is a warm family, a house where she belongs to.I understand Si Qing's feelings, because as someone who's from a broken family, what they wanted aren't a big house, just a small ones, when their loved ones accompany them through their days.
Although I didn't really like Jing Chen's personality, he's such a person who always put himself on a pedestal. I dislike his action through the series, how he got his revenge for Si Qing to Xiao guy. I thought he was just adding a problem for her, and he really can't do anything for her other than cooked warm food and gave her a warm house. He did have his own aspirations, and make through it in the end.
Anyway this one is a short, warm story. I loved how they are always for each other, how Jing Chen gave Si Qing a really warm house, warm food, and a love she deserved.

It's such a lovely healing drama. I like how the male lead is so unusual. He doesn't possess any fancy materialistic things, yet emits a very charming charisma. He doesn't even have a bigger-than-life purpose at the beginning either. He also loses his ownership of the village in the end. I like it that way as it doesn't give false hope. As a non-Chinese, I don't like how all mainland Chinese dramas portrayed all foreigners as villain but oh well, it's a different topic. And the female lead is very realistic with her materialistic list but in an honest and hardworking way. I find the idea of the male lead thinking that his second half of life belongs to the female lead when she bought his winter solstice house model super cute.
To me, this drama is healing with its soothing and sweet daily lessons.

light drama that is fun to watch
tbh at first I didn't like the attitude of the FL like the way she just went to someone's house and even disturb his work...as a person who likes to make miniatures I do really hate to be disturb because by doing this you need focus that's why I do understand the situation he's in but I'm Also surprised that he did not reacted much then later I found out that he's emotionless.....but as the time goes by the FL improves so as him.....he is slowly opening his vault locked heart because of her I just love this drama.... after watching intense dramas watching this like makes my stress go away.....from the start till the end I only smiled it's so light that you just need to ready your snacks and your blanket and watch it in bet while it's raining outside........idk why this drama is not popular.....but for me this drama deserves more recognition..........Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

I was surprised by the plot.
Well, what to say about this drama? I would say that it is a well-constructed drama, it has romance but the plot is not based on it, I would say that this plot is based on friendship, loyalty, opening up to others, fear, forgiveness, it is that drama of self-knowledge. I started it thinking it would just be a romance with an arranged marriage plot, but it goes way beyond that, if you are expecting a steamy romance this drama is not for you, the romance is just a background. I thought the story was well done, impeccable acting and good production, I liked it but I didn't love it.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Seem like typical, but it is not
First of all, before i watched the drama, i assumed that the drama gonna be typical contract marriage drama like..."Let's get married, this is the contract, I'll pay you this and this amount, dont fall in love with me, bla bla bla and then eventually falling in love with each other"
This drama given me the vibe...
"Let's get married. You have no money, no problem , i can afford to make a living for both of us, let give each other chance, we will work on this marriage together, I'll be your home, and you will be my home."
Both of ml and fl are trying to responsible with the marriage. They dont love each other at first, but willing to tried to work with their relationship. They got married and apply for divorce on the same day because of their ego. But I love how the fl asked for a second chance because it is her first marriage at the end of the day, It show that she really wanted to protect their marriage. During cooling off period, they keep trying to understand each other, protect each other and then eventually falling in love with each other. I love how they portray the ml, not like other typical rich ceo. Just ordinary man with no money but love his wife so much as he willing to do anything including giving up to his own principle and dream. And the wife, despite really love money, she willing to give all of it to her husband. I admit approcing the ending, the flow of drama kinda drop, with all the craftsmanship matter, it almost seen like a documentary, but still we can get the main couple relationship going stronger. The most important thing, there are no extremely annoying character, it just enough to make the story interesting. The cinemagraphy are the best. I love all the jing graden thing. Such a beautiful and peaceful place to live in. And the ost!! I keep listen to it up until now. Overall the drama is great, eventhough ut seem boring, but it always gonna be my comfort drama. I'll keep coming back to watched this drama again int the future.

Cute, healling romance with an exceptionnal aesthetic aspect
Drama remarkable for the beauty of its images, landscapes, the enhancement of traditional craftsmanship.The architecture is magnificent!! => this drama was filmed in Wuyi County in Zhejiang, at the Jingyuan Ancient Houses Museum . Now, I just want to visit !!
Plot: "impulsive" marriage between 1 career banker FL (craving a family live and home) and 1 ML, handsome, very introverted, architect/craftsman, who restored an old village (that of his adoptive grandfather) for help local artisans. In this unlikely couple, each one will gain the trust of the other, heal the wounds of the past and gradually build a solid bond.
PROS:
+ people who like art, crafts, history,... will appreciate the images, the scenery, EVERYTHING is exceptional.
+ the actors are good, especially the ML who speaks little, but his eyes express so many emotions!
+ no big twist or "great evil", the story is simple enough to be realistic.
+ the production is effective: slow on certain emotional passages, more often dynamic. There are no lengths.
+ The song lyrics just fit the drama so well.
CONS
- the animals (puppies, kittens) are all babies who don't grow during the 3 years that the series is supposed to last :) ;)
- Some story arcs are hasty and give the impression that the difficulties were solved too easily.
- the brother's character is ambiguous, it is difficult to define him for a long time.
=> a short series (23 ep. of 35 minutes) comforting and very aesthetically pleasing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drama remarquable par la beauté de ses images, des paysages, la mise en valeur de l'artisanat traditionnel.
L'architecture est magnifique !! => this drama was filmed in Wuyi County in Zhejiang, at the Jingyuan Ancient Houses Museum .
Plot : mariage "impulsif" entre 1 banquière carriériste (en manque de famille et d'1 maison) et 1 ML, beau, très introverti, architecte/artisan, qui a restauré un ancien village (celui de son gd-père adoptif) pour aider les artisans locaux. Dans ce couple improbable, chacun va gagner la confiance de l'autre, soigner les blessures du passé et construire peu à peu un lien solide.
PROS :
+ les personnes qui aiment l'art, l'artisanat, l'histoire,... apprécierontles images, les décors, TOUT est exceptionnel.
+ les acteurs sont bons, surtout le ML qui parle peu, mais ses yeux expriment tant d'émotions !
+ pas de gros twist ni de "great evil", la story est assez simple pour être réaliste.
+ la réalisation est efficace : lente sur certains passages émotionnels, dynamique le plus souvent. Il n'y a pas de longueurs.
+ The lyrics just fit the drama so so well.
CONS
- les animaux (chiots, chatons) sont tous des bébés qui ne grandissent pas durant les 3 ans que la série est censée durer :) ;)
- Certains arcs narratifs sont même hâtifs et donnent l'impression que les difficultés ont été résolues trop facilement.
- le personnage du frère est ambigu, on a longtemps du mal à le cerner.
=> une série courte (23 ép. de 35 minutes) réconfortante et très esthétique.

winter solstice
oh my godddddddddI don’t even know where I should begin.
what an amazing drama!!🤩
I did not know what I was missing on, until I watched this!!!!
Beautifully made and enacted. Since the time I have finished watching it, although it is over, it is still fresh in my mind, like every single scene and dialogue. My heart feels so different after watching it. I love itttttt…!
The leads, Lu Yang Yang and Chen Xin Hai did a commendable job.
Talking about the Plot, it is very fresh and unique. It is different and I love the fact that they have portrayed the FL to be so powerful and independent while the ML is working on preserving and art and loves his wife.
The lead couple are in a flash marriage, and the show slowly unfolds as they gradually know each other, and fall in love. The entire journey of them is too beautiful, so sad that it has only 23 episodes.
I wish I could forget completely about it and watch it all over again.
This drama has inspired me in soo many ways, like following my heart and dreams, being fearless in pursuit of what sets my heart on fire. Loving truly and loving slowly. It shows how country life or as we call it, the “slow life” is not always bad, but rather good in so many ways. I just loveeeeee this drama, I connected the characters and laughed when they laughed and cried when they cried….!
Jusr very beautiful.
if you have come sooooo far in reading my review then I would request you to watch it please 🥹
