About Jin Tai Lang's Happy Life
When your parents don’t approve of your spouse, is a happy life possible? Mi Xiao is a reporter for a Beijing news agency who meets and falls in love with Jin Liang, a gynecologist. When Xiao Mi insists on marrying Liang, Xiao Mi’s single mother, Wang Shu Hua, nearly has a heart attack but is forced to accept the relationship. But when living with Liang’s father, Jin Tai Zhu, turns out to be more difficult than imagined, Xiao Mi’s mother refuses to just stand by and just watch.
Directed by Li Shuang, Jin Tai Lang's Happy Life leans on a strong ensemble — Wang Lei, Pan Zhilin, Yao Qianyu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2013.
