After watching 2 Chinese costume dramas in a row, Under The Power and Dr. Cutie, it is time to go back to modern dramas with contemporary themes for a change. So, I decided to go with this one - Find Yourself (下一站是幸福) because the plot centers around a common dilemma of age gap faced by some couples.

There are certainly some positive lessons that can be learned from this storyline and I'm pretty sure that many … [Read more...] about Love The Way You Are Review
