P.S I finally have internet back. It’s been a challenging week+ without access to the web. o.o

Sounds like a feel good drama.

Hope everyone had a peaceful Lunar New Year! I was busy taking a recovering-from-multiple-viruses toddler to visit the relatives. You really don’t know how life will change with kids until it hits you in the face point-blank. Haven’t had time to browse the web much! Both dramas finished filming this past week and I’m intrigued seeing Bai Yu in historical costumes! I have a soft spot for this man. <3
I haven’t said this line in a while but I almost lost an eyeball trying to compile this post. Lol. I guess Qiyi has the majority of my interested dramas. Hope ya’ll find this helpful. I tried to include as much as possible but will eliminate non-human/concept posters for my sanity. If I missed anything, feel free to help me out in the comments! XD
Happy scrolling!
Octogenarians and the 90s (八零九零) is a modern drama described as warm and healing. Our heroine inherits Sunshine House – a nursing home, after her mother passed away from liver cancer. She, along with our male lead (Bai Jing Ting), are post 90s adults, and their enthusiasm and energy inject much needed vitality into the elders’ lives, however, conflicts between the two generations also threaten old values and customs. As they collide, touching stories of the past change the behaviors and perspectives of both sides. When the nursing home is demolished, our heroine takes it upon herself to rebuild a new community, focusing on elders diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, giving them the freedom and peace to live in their favorite years of the past.
