I finished watching all 5 episodes in one go. This season has a stronger festive atmosphere, and overall, it's slightly better in terms of quality compared to the previous season. The character development for Da Jiao after her return to her hometown to take care of her sick grandmother is well-written (she won't be able to come back for now). By the way, I want to complain a bit. It seems like some people gave negative reviews without even finishing a single episode. It's quite amusing. Even if this drama is not the best, it's still better than those idol dramas set in ancient times with no substance. At least it has humor, and most importantly, it has talented actors who truly possess acting skills.

How should I put it? What's the point of having characters like Qinglian and Yinping's dad? They're so annoying and shallow, not even main characters. The existence of such characters is beyond me.
It feels like the writers changed after twenty episodes, and that ridiculously melodramatic Xie Guang Kun nonsense happened for no reason.
And now Xie Yong Qiang is getting involved too! It's frustrating! This is supposed to be a comedy, not a Korean drama.
Wang Xiao Meng hasn't divorced yet? Didn't Xie Yong Qiang save her life?
The old, ugly, and petty characters are just too annoying. I'm dropping this drama.

From the 15th minute of the first episode, the nonsense began as usual. Xie Yong Qiang raised a toast with a wine glass to everyone in the room, including his son, but when it came to his own father, suddenly he couldn't handle his alcohol. What's with the inconsistency? This goes beyond a lack of logical coherence in the storyline; it's clear that the screenwriter was just writing randomly after having too much to drink.

It's really not that great. Where's the love in it? Let's just call it a bizarre rural story, shall we? What kind of people are they? The Li Yin Ping family is only after money, always chasing profits. They treat their own daughter like a golden treasure, constantly emphasizing her wealth. But honestly, her looks aren't that impressive, especially considering she's from Shanghai, a super first-tier city where people own houses. Yet she sold her house and ran off to the rural Northeast. They even expect her to marry into a backward family. Northeast China sure is something. And the bizarre inn and its bizarre people, why are they constantly filled with contradictions? It's so annoying. During the Lunar New Year, we should be watching something uplifting, but now everything just bothers us. Even love is absent. Do we have to wait for the third generation to grow up and start dating in order to see some love?

For fuck's sake, can they please stop making this shit? I'm starting to doubt if the screenwriter has a brain or any life experience. Each show is dumber than the last, with characters that are all clichéd and one-dimensional. The dialogue and storyline are a pile of shit. Being forced to watch this pile of dog shit with my parents during the Lunar New Year is making me sick to my stomach.

From the first season until now, I'm no longer watching for the logical plot. Ever since "Wang Changgui" returned in Season 9, logic has gone out the window. What keeps me going is the nostalgia from before. It's like a casual drama to watch for fun. However, I hope they would focus more on the older generation of heroes in the script and not just keep featuring the newbies.

A drama where all the males are vile and all the females are despicable, regardless of gender, they're all brainless and infertile in this vulgar and tasteless series. A bunch of misfits and illiterate grassroots individuals, stumbling and struggling, yet somehow managing to produce 16 seasons. You could say they deserve some credit for their efforts, even though they have no accomplishments to speak of.
The first eight seasons, despite being riddled with bugs, were filled with jokes and were actually enjoyable. However, starting from the ninth season, the logic completely collapses, the moral compass goes completely astray, and the plot becomes diluted with forced elements. Coupled with the excessive Barbie-pink filter, all the actors resemble bloated corpses that have been soaking for too long. It's simply unbearable to watch.
Just like a village evening show, it gets worse every year, yet we still watch it year after year. Each year is more rotten than the last.

The performances this time were decent. The worst part, the Mountain Villa segment, got better because Song Xiao Feng quit, so there were finally fewer scenes for that character.
Although Xie Guang Kun is still scheming, I have to admit that in the first dozen episodes or so, everything he said made sense. It seems like they've changed the approach.
Wang Mu Sheng seems to be trying to redeem himself, wanting his wife to come back and then working diligently. But if he truly becomes good, won't he lose screen time?
Liu Neng and Zhao Si are living together now, so their hidden conflicts are definitely going to be more interesting to watch. The director finally utilized Liu Neng's character.
In the end... well, we all know what's coming. The Lunar New Year can't last forever, and even illnesses have their good days. I have no idea how they'll continue the story from here.

In terms of the quality of these 11 episodes, it's actually quite high. Many scenes could even be considered top-notch if they were put into a sketch comedy. Compared to "Love in the Countryside 15," there has been some improvement. However, this series often starts strong but loses its momentum as it progresses. The further you go, the more you find yourself fast-forwarding through scenes. Every season introduces new characters, and this season even features the boss' daughter as the antagonist. I think I saw Wen Song in the prologue as well. Hopefully, the overall quality can be maintained, considering it's something I watch every Chinese New Year.

The director is once again shamelessly giving himself more screen time. This time, it's a little girl who inexplicably falls for him as the village doctor. The plot is truly ridiculous. Li Yin Ping, that idiotic father, is also influenced by Xie Guang Kun's tricks and completely ruins his daughter's relationship. He deserves to be single, even Fang Zheng doesn't want anything to do with such a despicable person! This drama can't go on without causing trouble. Keep causing trouble, and I'll continue with my 2-star negative review. 17 seasons, 2-star rating reserved for next year.

Wang Xiao Meng, the garbage character, finally manages to work at a big company, but in the end, she quits and goes home to take care of the children. Xie Yong Qiang, on the other hand, struggles to run a lousy orchard and doesn't care about the children at all. It's obvious that the company belongs to Wang Xiao Meng, but they insist on highlighting the importance of the Xie family business. It feels like Xie Yong Qiang must have saved Wang Xiao Meng's life in a previous life, but in this life, getting a divorce is so difficult.
PetriDai11 months ago rating:5.1
I watched the first season many years ago, and now, after more than a decade, the cast members have all gained weight. The "dad vibes" have gone through the roof... What's up with Wang Xiao Meng's factory? Why do you care so much? Don't back down, Wang Xiao Meng! Why should only men be allowed to pursue their careers? Ridiculous! Xie Guang Kun is the most disgusting character in the entire series. Also, why does everyone stutter?

It's more accurate to say that I watched a rural story rather than a rural love story. Even though it's named as such, it's still inconsistent and unrealistic. I've reached the point where I just want to watch some commotion and listen to the old folks chattering. Please don't bring up anything about rural revitalization. After 16 seasons, I haven't seen them implement centralized heating.

Liu Neng really nailed it this time with Zhao Si's character, but Li Wencai's acting was too fake. Wang Xiaomeng deserves the life she's living. And what's with the split personality? Xie Guangkun always gets forgiven no matter what he does, and their child is quite manipulative too. If Xie Yongqiang doesn't divorce her this season, she really deserves it (I've watched up to episode 20).

The Zhao Ben Shan team has pioneered a performance style: the rambling chatter style. The dialogue throughout the scenes is incessant, like the acting method of a toothless old lady. There's no visual language, no close-ups of expressions, and no plot advancement. It solely relies on the characters' mouths within the storyline.
