Other Remarks
by FanFanX
[First Impression (Ep1-)] I'm a Lu Yang Yang fan, so I generally want to watch anything with her. The general vibe of this series gives me hints of Meet Yourself and Jia Jia's Lovely Journey. Neither of which I have watched in full, and both of which I have read recaps/comments during live airings. lol So correct me if I'm off base here. The village setting and FL’s city background reminds me of the former, and this ML reminds me of a mashup of ML from both series. These two are going to be a good team/heal each other's wounds.
I had wanted to recap this series but I honestly think my writing is too mechnical for this soothing series, and it wouldn't convey their story well. So if you read my notes in the comments - try to remember that. lol
[Behind the Scenes]
[OST] The opening song is totally in English. The OST is so good for this series, yet I can’t find it. Sigh. Slowly updating?
[Ending] Happy.
[Pick a Highlight, Any Highlight] Ep11. When Jing Chen unzips her jacket.
