On the 8th of August, the urban emotional workplace drama Building a Life Together wrapped up production. Directed by An Jian, who previously helmed the critically acclaimed realistic series A Home to Treasure, and written by Guo Shuang, this new series stars Qin Lan and Allan Lin in the lead roles, alongside Xia Zhiguang, Bu Guanjing, Zhao Ziqi, Tian Lei, and Wang Yuankě among others.
Under the direction of An Jian, Building a Life Together delves into the intricacies of modern relationships and marriage. A behind-the-scenes image from the wrap-up ceremony. Provided by the production team.
In the series, Qin Tianyue (played by Qin Lan) is dispatched to the newly acquired subsidiary of Qianshou.com, "Mount Love," where she assumes the role of manager. With her background in engineering, Qin Tianyue is passionate about using big data to help clients find their perfect match at lightning speed. This approach contrasts starkly with that of Feng Qingming (played by Allan Lin), the company's top matchmaking consultant, who believes in understanding the emotional needs of his clients. Confronted with Qin Tianyue's assertive leadership style and Li Levin’s unwavering support, Feng Qingming, Cheng Xu, Xia Wanqing, and Ye Lang initially struggle to adapt. However, they eventually come to respect and appreciate each other, forming the "Cupid Squad" to explore the true meaning of happiness together.
The series offers a glimpse into the complexities faced by contemporary individuals as they navigate the journey towards love and marriage. It not only highlights the contrast between data-driven matchmaking and more traditional approaches but also sensitively portrays the challenges encountered during the dating process.
Building a Life Together is a co-production between Mango TV and Shangxiang Entertainment, and it is set to air on Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV platforms.
