Bailu is an untalented and disappointing actress
T's disappointing to see Bailu's performance stagnate in recent years, as her lack of acting versatility and repetitive role choices have made her one of the most underwhelming actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry. Instead of challenging herself with complex characters, she has repeatedly opted for formulaic romantic dramas, where her acting remains one-note-relying on exaggerated expressions and predictable emotional delivery rather than genuine depth. Whether playing a sweet female lead or a so-called "strong" character, her portrayal feels forced and uninspired, failing to bring any uniqueness or believability to the roles.
Beyond her acting, Bailu's public image has also been marred by questionable choices. Her frequent participation in trivial variety shows, where she often indulges in cheap humor and attention-seeking behaviors, has overshadowed any potential for artistic growth. It seems she prioritizes popularity and commercial gains over honing her craft, as evidenced by her endless product endorsements and lack of meaningful film or drama projects.

Slice of Life dramas never fail to warm your heart.
Some stories don't need drama to move you - they just need honesty. This series is one of those rare gems that captures the heart through simplicity. It celebrates the warmth of everyday life: shared meals, quiet mornings, small acts of kindness, and the silent comfort of people who truly care for one another.
The writing feels deeply human, revealing how fragile yet resilient people can be. Each episode peels back another layer of love, loss, and connection, reminding us that happiness often hides in the smallest moments. The cinematography is soft and nostalgic, wrapping each scene in a sense of familiarity - like looking back on memories you didn't realize you'd been missing.
Loved this show, another slice of life in my list...

Northward!
Initially I watched this drama because of some actors that I like and I haven't read the original novel yet. But, as a person who know much about (how to rate whether those are good/bad) movies, this is surprisingly amazing!
Well, nothing's perfect. There are some problems that I found from this drama, like, the storyline pace is a bit messy, most of it feels so neat to be followed, but there are a very few parts that feel a bit too fast (hard to understand/feel unnatural) or too slow (a bit boring). Then, since (till I made this review) the drama will only have 1 season, we weren't told about the next fate of some supporting role characters, which will left us in curiosity. Also, there was a character who unfortunately didn't get a well-developed character. So, when he died, it still makes us sad but not so touched because the character didn't give a big impact for the story since then.
But, those are only the small pieces of this 38 episodes-show, this drama has a way more positive things that we can get! Mainly, MORAL of the story! Yeah, this drama tells about the story of children who grew up together, becoming adults, encounter the problems of life, and eventually will found their real destiny. This gives us so useful lessons, especially for youth who will finish their school, enter university, and start to work. We can get spirit to prepare ourselves for the future, like, we may think that we are the best, but in this fast-developing world, we cannot be arrogant! If we failed, then rise again, never give up! Always respect our parents! We have to learn how to be wise, knowing when to become aggresive and when to become gentle! And so much more!
Actors' acting? Amazing! Cinematography? Great! Plot twists? Pretty decent (Some are surprising and easy to guess). Soundtracks? Impressive (and quite memorable)! Comedy? Entertaining!
So, (specifically) I give this show an 8.6 out of 10! This is a very recommended and fun to watch!
