This was the first Chinese drama I've watched. It was recommended by a friend and I'm glad to have seen it. I loved the lead actress ( Dilraba) but the main male lead was robotic and un- engaging. I loved the second male lead ( Bin Bin Zhang) and definitely thought the actress should have chose him. Most of the cast were well chosen and did a great job. I would recommend this drama and I would watch it again. It was a a fun way to do my Chinese homework and learn a little about Chinese culture. I'm finding out that food is a huge deal, as it played a key role in the series.
