What makes A Romance of the Little Forest worth watching
One of the most beautifully shot slice-of-life C-dramas.
A Romance of the Little Forest represents a strong example of china romance from the 2023 production cycle. Chinese studios have spent the past decade refining the kind of long-form storytelling on display here — careful character work, restrained pacing in the early episodes, and a willingness to let emotional beats land without overstatement. The blend of Romance and Slice of Life elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.
The cast is led by Liu Yifei, Li Xian. It originally aired on Tencent Video, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
