As the TV series is broadcast year by year, I can feel that the connection between myself and these four characters is getting closer and closer. It feels like we are growing up little by little under each other's gaze. In real life, the four actors have also established an inseparable friendship with each other. This kind of relationship also exists between the screenwriter and the director - we all mature under each other's care.

There is another very key reason for the success of "City", and that is the gap in this field in the television industry - it feels as if people have always been looking forward to someone being able to speak out loudly for single women. Everyone living in the environment created by society will feel a sense of confusion and loneliness to some extent, especially for a relatively vulnerable group like women. Maybe there is always another voice in your mind that keeps repeating. Says, 'Be smart, be strong, and make your own way!' ’ That’s why I get excited about such a story.
