I think that Remembrance of Things Past is one of best cdramas I've watched so far.

I really love how it discusses many real-world problems and stigmas in context to the Chinese society (北漂 i.e. interprovincial migration to Beijing for work, misconceptions about mental health, workplace culture, marriage, materialism, the definition of success, etc). It also reflects the difficulties in managing the shock, grief and guilt with the unexpected passing of a loved one. The actors and actresses did a really great job in portraying these raw emotions.

I really like how the drama rounded up with a carefree Hu Jingjing running off into the distance on the Great Wall of China, having finally fulfilled her dream of making a visit there, as well as her friends making peace with her passing and remembering their time spent with her.

While it is a short drama, the message behind it is strong. It is a big reminder that being vulnerable is not a sign of weakness; it takes courage to open up and share our problems with our loved ones. While we support others through their tough times, let's not forget to seek support and help when we're going through our own tough times too! :)
