The play tells the story of Jiang Lu, a fashionable stepmother, and Song Yusheng, her husband, forming a "halfway couple". Their feelings were strongly opposed by both families, and finally Jiang Lu won the respect of his family through his kindness.
The TV series evaluation is as follows:
Happiness knocks on the door, like a clear spring, quietly flowing into everyone's heart. The creative staff projected their perspective on "love in the 1980s" and vividly described "carrying love to the end" in the 1980s. In this impetuous age, it is precisely its demure that can impress people.
It shows the texture of life in detail, and its shooting technique is realistic sketch, which is almost pure, but the extremely simple picture is so exquisite.
Everything tells the elegance of the old days and depicts the outline of that era. The director's intentions can be seen everywhere. He simply showed that simple era. He didn't use too many strong styles to create, but created a unique style: purity.
