The Story of Ming Lan - one of ZLY's best dramas. The story is smart, has a great message, and great script. Some of the lines, especially Ming Lan's are really wise, and like quotes. about life about everything. It's a long series, with 73 episodes, but i didnt get bored of it. I'ev watched it 3 times and still find it so wise and interesting. the proper male lead doesnt properly come in until nearly halfway through the series, and they dont actually have any intimacy until the last 20ish episodes, but there is so much going on at the same time, but i can still easily understand it. I dont know how the director did it.
