The big star Xu Yan accidentally traveled back in time and became Xu Yan, a village woman in the 1980s. She was like a delicate and charming flower blooming on this land.

Unexpectedly, her straightforward husband turned out to be the factory director. Li Qifeng said that he had concealed his identity due to a task. Xu Yan made him kneel on the washboard while talking. In this way, she and the male protagonist accompanied each other through the years.
Audience Reviews
I can't appreciate the leading actress's appearance.
It's not worse than that "I Became a Stepmother in the 1980s", and the plot is also very interesting.
It's super good-looking! But it ended too quickly, so I'll deduct one star 😭 (The overbearing CEO in the 1980s was the factory director. So funny.)
Plagiarize "Crash Landing on You".
The screenplay is okay, with some clever twists within the routine. The witty and mischievous female lead is not uncommon in vertical-screen dramas, but the gentle, refined male lead who has normal logic and can communicate effectively is quite rare. I'm rooting for this factory director. Let's talk about Wang Daotie. He has a regular appearance and a rather mature temperament. When playing a modern overbearing CEO, if the makeup, styling, and lighting are not done carefully, it's easy to expose the flaws of his height and nasolabial folds. However, his inherent uprightness makes him very suitable for playing intellectuals and high-ranking cadres in period dramas. With a pair of black-rimmed glasses on, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he looks like Song Yunhui. (Perhaps this is also the reason why Xue Xiaolu chose him, along with Zhu Yilong and Du Jiang, to play the flag-raisers for the 1997 Handover in "My People, My Country".)
Two and a half stars. It's okay. The male lead's temperament is quite suitable for playing roles like high-ranking and overbearing bosses or leaders. He looks decent and a bit old-fashioned, but his appearance is still acceptable. The female lead didn't look very good when she had heavy makeup at the beginning. Instead, she looked much better when she had a simpler look later. There weren't really any steamy scenes. But the two of them looked comfortable together. Although I could guess the plot just by watching the beginning and the end, the various "battles of wits" after traveling back to the 1980s were quite satisfying.
The simple joys, hehe.
I can't stand it. It's too sloppy. The female lead isn't even that good-looking... Of course, none of the cast members are particularly good-looking... And the costumes, makeup, and props aren't as good as those in other short dramas either.
There are few sweet moments in this pure love drama. The male lead is both handsome and cute in a dorky way, but he always gives off an air of being someone with status and wealth. 😂 The female lead is a combination of Cyndi Wang, Ady Kan and Wang Ziwen. The supporting male lead is like a substitute for Guo Jingfei. By the way, wasn't it not allowed to listen to Teresa Teng's songs in the 1980s? In the end, Xu Yan traveled back in time. Although she met Li Qifeng from Yida, is he really the same Li Qifeng from the 1980s? Not necessarily. And will the soul of Xu Yan, a rural girl, return to its original place? What will be the ending for Xu Yan and Li Qifeng in the 1980s? This ending makes people feel a bit lost, so I'll deduct one star.
The theme is quite interesting. Comrade Factory Director Fell in Love with Me in the 1980s. However, the acting skills of the supporting roles are really embarrassing...
The appearance is a bit lacking.
Good-looking. Recommended.
The female lead is trying hard to pass herself off as a great beauty.
It's just too stupid. It's a waste of Uncle Tie's acting skills. The leading actress isn't particularly good-looking.
The quality of this short play is really high.
Wang Daotie has been named as a reserve member of the "uncle group" by me. The employment situation of those who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama majoring in acting is also quite bumpy. Young actors need to endure in terms of seniority, ability and luck before they can achieve great success late in life. I hope that in the future, good actors like him who are talented and good-looking can have better scripts that suit them and broader screen stages to shine on. The female lead's outfits make people reminiscent of Son Ye-jin in "Crash Landing on You", and she also looks like her.
The female lead looks like Chen Huimin! Could there be more period dramas? I love watching them!
After seeing your promotion on Weibo, I'm giving up on it! It's all about "young master" and "madam" in the mouths of the characters. Don't you know that such titles weren't popular in that era?! It was an era when "comrade" was the popular form of address all over China! Please mark the word "fictional" in front of the plot, otherwise it's definitely historical nihilism! At most, "Mr." and "Miss" were popular forms of address in that era.
It can be regarded as a high-quality work among short dramas. It's an addictive and enjoyable drama. The male lead is very handsome and a bit of a lovesick fool. There's not much substance to it, but it's good for watching while having a meal! You might become a bit silly if you watch too much of it!
Being love-struck is the best single item for men.
