With Love With You 有你的时光里 Review: A Quiet, Female-Led Healing Drama

A spoiler-light review and overview of With Love With You, with reflections on its themes of sisterhood, resilience, and healing.

With Love With You centres around Wang Yan (Tong Yao) and Wang Lingjun (Zhou Yiran), two sisters with starkly different personalities. Wang Yan is a highly successful account director in a creative agency who is independent, efficient, and fearless. Lingjun, on the other hand, is aimless, resentful, and wilful. Despite Wang Yan's considerable influence within the family and her insistence that the 30-year-old Lingjun obtain her medical practitioner's certificate before even considering leaving their hometown of Leshan, Lingjun defies everyone's wishes and relocates to Shenzhen, determined to be near her sister. This upheaval disrupts Wang Yan's carefully managed life, sparking conflict between the sisters and within their family.

Breaking the Shadows 乌云之上: A Review (Sort Of)

This isn’t a full-series review—I stopped at episode five, and frankly, that’s all I could manage. Honestly, I was looking forward to this series; I like Sun Li and generally enjoy crime dramas. With a cast full of notable actors and its connection to the Light On anthology, it should have guaranteed some level of quality—or at least been enjoyable.

The page was really in bad shape, and it was long overdue for a cleanup. This also gave me a chance to make some layout changes to the filmography links. I think it looks neater now.

Hello fellow Tong Yao fans! Apologies for the delay, but I'm finally catching up on the announcement from late January about Tong Yao's role in The Miracles 奇迹. This also gives me a good excuse to update her filmography.

CCTV announced on January 21st that they are partnering with the Shenzhen Municipal Publicity Department to create The Miracles, a collection of short dramas celebrating the 45th anniversary of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and its incredible journey from a small border town into a modern international metropolis. The CMG and Shenzhen Municipal Publicity Department believe that Shenzhen exemplifies Chinese modernization and the pursuit of a better life, and they're aiming to gather stories from around the world to commemorate this transformative journey.
