i love love love love this drama.  loved the roller coaster ride i had.  i cried i laugh i cringe but this drama is so good.
first of all,  the story revolving around these five women and their growth was fantastic.  they were so real.  they weren't perfect and i fell in love with their flaws which are so relatable.  not many dramas can bring such elements out
secondly,  the simplicity.  i love how simple it is yet so complicated.
thirdly,  the everyday trouble they gets into.  the success and the failures,  the struggle of a being a middle class.  the preference of a male child in backwarded family,  
these five women and their friendship was the highlight of this drama.  they weren't bad people,  yet they were judgemental about each other, which exactly shows how human are.  i could go on and on and on about this drama,  so i will a stop here but i gotta say, fan jie/Xiao mei was my absolute favorite.  she made me cry  a whole bucket of tears.  i would highly  recommend this drama to those who are looking light hearted not very serious genres.  plus there's  wang kai,  i love him ????????
