A drama where just 10 stars are not enough.

Warm sunshine on a winter morning, or a cup of coffee on a rainy day- we all know how comfortable it feels like right? These are the only ways to describe this phenomenal piece of work named Meet Yourself.

If I have to name one thing that I would watch every single day of my life without getting bored, it will be this drama. A slow-paced drama that doesn't feel slow but leaves you wanting to watch even more of it- sounds a bit exaggerated? But no, that is exactly what this drama is. 40 episodes that are about 45 minutes long each and I still want to watch about 40 more episodes of these sweet characters just going on with their lives, doing the most mundane things. I'm confident to say that I won't skip a second of it, just like I haven’t while watching the whole drama.

I won't name a favourite character because you know what? Every character shone. From our main leads whom we saw from episode 1-40 to Xie Qiang who was only seen in the last few episodes- everyone absolutely nailed their character. I smiled when they smiled, cried when they cried and laughed when they laughed.

The OST- every single song made me feel so much and was perfectly fit for the moment, the playlist is going to stay saved in my Spotify forever.Whenever "Days" played in the background it became hard for me to concentrate on the drama, it's such a soulful song that makes you think, hope and believe that everything will be fine, just take everyday as it is.And every time I hear "Saddle Of My Heart", it makes me pray and hope for a love like the one described in the song, the love that I felt between XZY and XHD.

This drama made me feel like I was there, I was also a part of the tiny, gorgeous, peaceful village of Yunnan. I iust know that nothing will ever top this drama for me, this will forever be in a league of it’s own. I will be recommending this masterpiece to everyone for the rest of my life.

"You are my way back home, at the dawn."

"Road Home" is a drama that gripped me from the beginning and kept me looking forward to it until the very last episode. I started it with a lot of expectations- because it's from a novel by Mo Bao Fei Bao, and I'm very pleased to say that the execution in fact did not let me down. From the eye-catching locations to the great casts and gorgeous cinematography- everything and everyone did the story justice.

Road Home is a romantic melodrama. And when I say romantic-melo, I mean a very romantic with a tiny bit of melo sprinkled in it. It's a drama that'll make you cry at times, but most of the time you'll be giggling at the screen and swooning over the leads. A drama that's properly heavy on romance- that's how I'd like to describe it. You'll get swoon worthy moments and many many hugs and kisses throughout the drama, and let me tell you one thing- our leads do not shy away from skinship. If you're looking for a drama with lots of romance, minimum angst, no problematic ex, HEA and a swoon-worthy ML- this is the one for you.

Let's talk about the locations and cinematography. Since I had seen the trailer last year, I have been waiting for this drama not only because of the amazing casts and creator, but also because of how gorgeous the locations were. But after watching my top drama for the year, "Meet Yourself", I admit that I had lessened my expectations a bit because it had the best locations and the most well-executed cinematography I had ever seen. But when I started Road Home, I realised that there was no need to expect anything less because the way this drama is shot is beyond beautiful. The moment the first episode started, my eyes were absolutely glued to the screen and stayed the same till the very end. As soon as I finished episode 1, my first question was "Where is this place, I want to go there."

Now, for the leads- Jing Boran as Lu Chen gets a 10000/10 from me. I don't think any other actor could play the character as well as he did. Having watched him in other works and variety shows, this drama again made me realise what a versatile actor he is. I got goosebumps everytime Lu Chen looked at Gui Xiao- he looked at her like she is his whole world. When he said, "I'll remember you even you turn into ashes," I didn't doubt it at all, his eyes portrayed it all. I don't think I've seen any other actor act so well with his eyes, the looks Lu Chen gave to Gui Xiao would be enough to make anyone weak on their knees.
Tan Song Yan is one of the best actresses of current time and there's no doubt in that- she proved it yet again with this drama. Gui Xiao as a high-school girl who is in love with Lu Chen. Gui Xiao as a college girl who is struggling with her relationship. Gui Xiao who is an accomplished career woman but can't forget her first love- she portrayed her so well. I cried everytime she cried, laughed when she laughed. Tan Song Yan is the perfect Gui Xiao and the casting Director gets an A+.

Road Home is a drama that will definitely stay in my mind for a very very long time.
