There were episodes that felt like fillers and slowed down the storytelling a bit but the entertaining presence of the characters make up for it and as the drama progresses, it got even more fun and interesting. Overall, it was a drama that would make you think about love, life and how courage, clear communication and commitment are needed to make a relationship work.


When the show ended in China, lead actress Victoria Song posted a touching farewell message on Weibo that included these personal thoughts:


“I hope Miss He (Fanxing) has in some way encouraged more ‘young ladies’ to be brave in letting their true selves shine through. Your 30s—the most confident and charming time of your life has just begun. Don’t live with regrets, don’t just ‘put up’ with things and do not be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, strengthen your resolve and follow your heart, look at all obstacles as opportunities to grow.”


And if these reasons aren’t enough to convince you to watch, consider the beautiful last few lines uttered on the show. This just might push you to experience the sheer sweetness of Find Yourself:


“May your days be filled with sunshine

May there be roses in your embrace.

May you have a shelter from the storm.

May time be kind to you.

May you always be a young girl at heart.”
