Li Na Nen is a young woman from a small town who has always been passionate about Chinese culture and traditional architecture. After graduating, she heads to Bordeaux University to pursue her studies in the field. She somehow ends up joining the animal research society where she meets Zhou Er Wen. He is a young man who advocates ecological preservation. Given his interest in modern architecture, he is devoted to finding synergies in both. Li Na Nen and Zhou Er Wen start out at odds with each other and Gao Mu finds himself to be the constant mediator. Their experiences bring them together as they strive to bring to fruition a project referred to as the hanging garden.

[Yui.]

Can't believe no one talked about this drama! I'm half-way through and really liking it so far. The France Arc in the beginning focusing on youth and friendship is my favorite. Right now it's kind of in between France/Shanghai transition of regathering all of the members of animal society back together. Been a fan of Chen Bolin since In Time with you and Crystal Zhang from Go Princess Go. Really liking the dynamic of how their relationship unfolds.

 

Edit:

Finished. The last 10 episodes were hard to watch despite the happy ending... I really wanted to like the Shanghai Arc, but I can't. I'm not as impressed as the France Arc that happened the first 20-ish episodes. I'm impressed by the cast learning/speaking French. The campus and the set in France is beautiful. I like the angles and some of the filming techniques. I'll probably only recommend if you really like the leads because in terms of Chen Bolin's character I'm liking his take on portraying it.
