“Meet me at the Blossom“, like "Kill to Love", is a historicizing Chinese series which many viewers would call bromance rather than BL. I know that this kind of series isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, but they are my cup of tea. Whatever may be said against the storyline, which is very common in Chinese (non-BL) series – the production quality of both series mentioned is overwhelming. The acting is top tier, too, because Chinese series tend to hire experienced and very handsome actors – not only Li Le, who plays the lead role of Huai En, and Wang Yun Kai as Xiao Bao, but also Kou Wei Long and Li Yi Mu, who play support roles here, but who both later played lead roles in “I’ll Turn Back this Time“, a mystery series. Kou Wei Long also played a support role in “To my Shore“.

At present, over 47% of the male population in Japan aged between 30 ~ 34 are single. While for women, the no. goes up to 60% for those in their late twenties. It is not that they are unable to get married. Rather, they all choose to remain single, as they believe that marriage is not the be all and end all. Life holds more promising things beyond marriage, and thus they are all celebrating life as a single. This drama takes a look at life from the perspectives of these men and women. Hoshino Mamoru is the President of a film production company, having taken over the position from his father. He is an excellent creative director, but he detests chaos and hence prefers to remain single. His brother, Susumu, works at the same company, taking care of the business side of things. Currently undergoing divorce proceedings, Susumu has had to move out of his marital home. Haruno Yuki is disillusioned with men, after having gone through several failed relationships. She wasn't making great strides in her career either, and so one day, she decided to quit her job and pursue her dream of becoming a scriptwriter. In order to pay the bills, she takes on a part-time job at a maid agency. Before she knows it, she gets her chance to make her dream come true! It could be Fate, or just plain coincidence, but the 3 of them are plunged into each other's lives; The "Affluent Single", the "Divorced Hero" and the "Marriage Refugee". Will a pivotal moment happen upon them? Will the "Affluent Single" decide to give wedded bliss a chance?
