Recently, the TV drama "Fanhua" has received much attention, with a viewership rate exceeding 2% in just 10 minutes of its premiere, demonstrating the strength of a high-quality drama. After the finale of "Fanhua", discussions and imaginations about it continued to expand widely on social media, triggering many viewers to reminisce about "old Shanghai". Not only that, its influence has extended from online viewing and discussion to offline exploration and tracing. Traditional Shanghai snacks such as soup soaked rice and pork ribs rice cake have become popular on food platforms, and the place where the story takes place, "Yellow River Road," has also become a popular check-in spot. As the most popular TV series at the beginning of 2024, the appearance of "Flowers" may seem accidental, but it is actually inevitable.
