A very enjoyable and absorbing drama of current life in China. Not only was the struggle of each of the main characters drawn with detail but the numerous story lines were explored with depth. The relationship between the main protagonists held all minor themes together elegantly. I was most impressed with the visual production and particularly the numerous dinner scenes shot from countless camera angles without losing the narrative. The subtitles were cringe worthy linguistics at times yet the meaning was understood over 90% of the time. The family story at the end of each episode would make a decent movie in it's own right. I definitely recommend this series.
