Review
This is how good all romantic dramas should be. 🖐. Drama feels so natural and made “deep and thoughtful” so easy.
Cyn-opsis
→ Li Xian brings another girl back to her hometown! (Well, almost?)→ A man, who hates farewell, works as an embalmer. (He's honestly way too serious about his job).→ A woman, who has to leave, flirts with this man who cannot leave. (His poor tantalized heart).→ A morbid drama that's soothing, healing and filled with love.
Romance
Why does it seem so hard for Cdramas to cast the right people for insane chemistry like this?
But damn. The major gripe I have with this show is that on more occasions than one, the FL gets on my nerves for the things she does. Their chemistry was just so good that I'm heart-over-mind.
There's two train of thoughts for the ending:
- Accepting that Chen Mai Dong loves Zhuang Jie for who she is – all of who she is.
- Rejecting Zhuang Jie for Chen Mai Dong. Chen Mai Dong deserves better.
I'm more of a 1.
Episode Notes
I'm just lifting my comments (from disqus) so I don't have to repeat myself.

The Meaning of Shanghai in Ep16+
Childhood Connection
The teenagers are so different from the adults (even if they were supposed to change over time). But that's okay. Their scenes were lovely and rebellious. I wished there was more to reveal about the childhood though.
Meddling Grandma
I love the meddling-grandparent-tropes in all of Li Xian's dramas (Go Go Squid!, Meet Yourself). His FLs always get along better with them than he ever does. ("You have no right to sleep!")
Li Xian with children melts my heart too.
Family
Other than Ji San, I'm in awe that Zhou Yu Tong has chemistry with all her family members, plus the unofficial twin sister: Wang Xi Xia (Wan Peng).
The siblings:
With Xi Xia, the unofficial daughter/sister:
With mom:
All the back-hugs~
With dad:
They're flying dad's kites :')
With Vacuum Cleaner:
Cute Niao Niao vacuums all the negativity.
With Ji San!
We will always remember him (...her?).
Friendship
Zhuang Jie and Wang Xi Xia have chemistry too. Wang Xi Xia is the voice of reason and an angel who does her best for everyone around her. She deserves the best. When she tells Zhuang Jie that she's dating, they both teared up, and I thought that reaction was brilliant.
The grandmas have a beautiful friendship too <3.
<3
2nd Couple
East-Meets-West couple <3. (Cui Ge is in Traditional Chinese Medicine ("Eastern"). Xi Xia works with Western Medicine. Her name is also West (Xi 西)).
Zhang Chi had a stellar performance in There Will Be Ample Time, and he does it again. Guy is effortlessly hilarious. I never figured out why Cui Ge needs to bring his gang members (everywhere) again?

She's wearing the ring!
