Sometimes you need something easy and wholesome and this is exactly that. A kinda romcom sitting in a particular segment of modern China - internationally conscious middle-class Shanghai. It deals with things like gender roles, masculinity, and attraction, and how you can think you’re being of service, but mostly stressing others out with invisible obligation. Friendship is a two-way street, and you must be willing to let others serve you. 

It’s too long and meanders from time to time, but it’s quite droll and the English subs do a decent-enough job of translating the sharp Shanghainese banter. Cozy.
