Five women in their late twenties and thirties live on the 22nd floor of a Shanghai apartment building: a hyper-competent investment manager hiding a traumatic past, a warm-hearted girl from a provincial family with a controlling mother, a successful doctor with deep emotional avoidance, a sweet recent graduate figuring out whether to follow her heart or her family's plans, and an independent businesswoman navigating romance on her own terms. Their friendship across very different life circumstances is the show's real subject — and one of C-drama's best ensemble characterizations of adult female experience.
