"The Best Thing" is adapted from Sheng Li’s novel "Loving You is the Best Thing I Have Done". The urban romance drama is written by Ou Sijia ( "Love O2O", "Hidden Love") and directed by Che Liangyi ("Tiny Times"). It stars Zhang Linghe ("Love Between Fairy and Devil", "Love's Rebellion", "My Journey to You", "Story of Kunning Palace", "Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact") and Xu Ruohan ("Perfect And Casual", "Out with a Bang").
The story follows Shen Xifan, a dedicated workaholic and hotel housekeeping manager, who suffers from insomnia and migraines due to her high-intensity job. Seeking relief, she turns to traditional Chinese medicine and meets the gentle and refined doctor, He Suye. However, her busy schedule often causes her to forget to pick up her prescriptions, much to He Suye’s frustration. What starts as a mere doctor-patient relationship takes an unexpected turn when they realize they live in the same neighborhood. Through a series of chance encounters, their feelings gradually blossom. Having experienced a painful first love, Shen Xifan is cautious, while He Suye, abandoned by his first love, has since closed off his heart. As Shen Xifan slowly approaches him, their awkward yet endearing interactions lead He Suye to rediscover the meaning of love, eventually making him the one to pursue her instead. Meanwhile, He Suye’s dedication to traditional Chinese medicine inspires Shen Xifan to find her true aspirations. The series will be available for streaming on iQIYI International (iQ.com).
