He is the Perfect Husband
Road Home is a slow burn, healing drama.
What I like:
1) Lu Chen characterisation - Road Home should be titled 'He is the Perfect Husband' because Lu Chen is caring, good cook & only speaks when necessary.
2) Jing Bo Ran - Jing Bo Ran was magnetic on screen. His character is quiet but somehow he managed to convey expressions & mannerisms through his face and body. It also doesn't hurt than Jing Bo Ran looked very hot in uniform and in black t-shirt and black wide leg trousers.
3) Xiao Nan characterisation - I also like Xiao Nan, a very well-written child character. He is smart & rational kid, mature beyond his years.
4) Cinematography - I read that Qining is a fictitious location but the actual locations (Altay, Xinjiang, Hemu Village, Burqin County) were so picturesque (refer to link below). My favourite scenes were 1) scene shot in the big tent like Mongolions live, and 2) scene shot when four characters went camping.

5) Meng Xiao Shan characterisation - This my second time watching Baby Zhang's work (the first was She and Her Perfect Husband) and I must say I am impressed by her acting . Xiao Shan is mature, smart & confidant woman who is also a girlboss. She is driven at work and in personal life. I understand why she married Qin Feng instead of Hai Dong.
What I disliked:
1) Gui Xiao characterisation - Not a fan of Gui Xiao as I find her character did not grow much. Gui Xiao at 30 remained same as Gui Xiao in high school - childlike, giggly & sheltered. She's lucky to get someone who loves and devotes to her. Also lucky that she's been sheltered from hard ships by her father and Lu Chen.
2) Flashbacks - There are too many flashbacks used in this drama, in particular high school scenes. Some of these high school / puppy love scenes were repetitive that it's hard for me to believe their love story. At times I felt that they both sought each other after a decade because of convenience (we know Lu Chen never dated after breaking up with Gui Xiao).
Favourite scene:
When Gui Xiao gave Lu Chen a ring by kissing. Wow, I've never expected such scene to happen in a Cdrama!
