Review: Always Home [China]

THE SHORT VERDICT:

If you enjoy coming-of-age c-dramas like When I Fly Towards You (review here), and if you loved Reply 1988 (review here!), then this show is for you.

This show takes the best of both these worlds, and blends it all together to make a hybrid drama that delivers those wholesome community feels that you get in Reply 1988, while retaining all of its defining coming-of-age c-drama characteristics.

Likable characters, comforting community feels, a bit of romance to underscore it all – and the slice-of-life quality that allows you to feel like a fly on these walls?

Win, win and more win! 🥰
