### Plot and characters

Zhang Min (Zhang Zhehan) is the general manager of Sihai Group, a luxury hotel chain, capable and hardworking but cold, shaped by an "imperfect" family of origin.<sup>[7](https://dramaslot.com/everyone-wants-to-meet-you-review/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cqDFFNUOiM)</sup> On a coastal road in France he meets Luo Xi (Zhang Ruonan), a cheerful student who loves plants and, in the show's signature fantasy touch, can talk to them; her presence also eases his chronic headaches.<sup>[3](https://www.cpophome.com/everyone-wants-to-meet-you-zhang-ruonan-zhang-zhehan/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cqDFFNUOiM)</sup>

The French opening sets up the central conflict: Zhang Min travels to Bordeaux to inherit the estate of the grandfather figure Wu, only to learn that Wu left the chateau to him but the vineyard to Luo Xi, who refuses to sell because she promised the old man to protect an old grapevine named "Xiao Congcong."<sup>[9](https://watch.plex.tv/zh/show/everyone-wants-to-meet-you/season/1)</sup> Back in China, Tao Lun (Riley Wang), Luo Xi's childhood friend who secretly loves her, confesses and is rejected, and his character turns darker as he becomes entangled in betrayal and lies.<sup>[10](https://life.tw/?app=view&no=1051132)</sup> Luo Xi and Zhang Min eventually open a youth hostel together, and when a powerful organization moves to buy it, Tao Lun and Zhang Min face each other as rivals.<sup>[1](https://wiki.d-addicts.com/Everyone_Wants_to_Meet_You)</sup>

## Production

The drama was produced by iQIYI with Shanghai Xiwei Film & TV Culture Co. as a co-producer, with Zhao Wei as supervisor and Xu Fuxiang directing; the cast also included Wang Yilun (Riley Wang), Chen Haolan, and Liu Zhe'er.<sup>[2](https://ent.people.com.cn/n1/2019/0419/c81372-31040063.html)</sup> Filming wrapped in Bordeaux, France, in April 2019 after four months, and the production described itself as using a film-grade crew, having also scouted Chinese-style gardens in the hills of Anji, Zhejiang.<sup>[2](https://ent.people.com.cn/n1/2019/0419/c81372-31040063.html)</sup>

In an interview with Singapore's Shin Min Daily, Zhao Wei said the release had been moved up to February 16, 2020, on iQIYI, partly as entertainment for audiences during the COVID-19 outbreak, and that the show targeted young Chinese viewers, particularly those born after 2000, which is why it emphasized young idols with photogenic leads.<sup>[6](https://www.zaobao.com.sg/zentertainment/movies-and-tv/story20200218-1030062)</sup> She also called it her first web drama as a supervisor.<sup>[6](https://www.zaobao.com.sg/zentertainment/movies-and-tv/story20200218-1030062)</sup> She praised the Singaporean actor Li Nanxing, who plays a wealthy hotel magnate, saying his presence, authority, and charisma made the role convincing.<sup>[6](https://www.zaobao.com.sg/zentertainment/movies-and-tv/story20200218-1030062)</sup>

## Reception

The drama drew attention at launch on the strength of Zhao Wei's name and word of mouth, with iQIYI reporting an internal heat score approaching 7,000 shortly after the February 14 trailer.<sup>[11](https://k.sina.com.cn/article_1731986465_673c042100100l7gn.html)</sup> Critical response was largely negative. A Sina Entertainment commentary published March 3, 2020, said overall evaluations were not high, criticized the heroine's plant-talking, healing aura as a stock "Mary Sue" setup, and argued that the "domineering CEO falls for the good girl" premise felt dated to mainland audiences after the inventive Taiwanese drama *Someday or One Day* raised expectations.<sup>[12](https://k.sina.cn/article_6800215388_195530d5c00100rr9h.html?from=ent&subch=film)</sup> A Jiemian review called the plot a rehash of idol-drama clichés, faulted the male lead's ambiguous motives, and described the heroine's oxygen-based healing power as a strained attempt to rationalize the romance.<sup>[13](https://m.jiemian.com/article/4057277.html)</sup> A reviewer at Drama Slot gave it 6.5/10, crediting Zhang Zhehan's fan base and the French locations while questioning the plot.<sup>[7](https://dramaslot.com/everyone-wants-to-meet-you-review/)</sup>

Aggregated viewer scores diverged sharply from the reviews: Viki users rated it 9.1/10 from 17,230 ratings, and IMDb users 7.8/10 from 401 ratings.<sup>[4](https://www.viki.com/tv/36769c)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[5](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9844888/)</sup>

## A shared Chinese title

The Chinese title 谁都渴望遇见你 has also been used for a different series. A Hong Kong exchange filing by a drama producer lists *Get Married Or Not* (谁都渴望遇见你) as a 40-episode metropolitan romance directed by He Nan and starring Pan Yueming, Tong Yao, and [Chen Shu](https://www.edgepedia.org/chen-shu), first broadcast on November 29, 2019, on iQIYI, MGTv, and CCTV 8.<sup>[14](https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2021/0115/9584591/sehk20122000166.pdf)</sup> The two shows share a title but have different casts, episode counts, and broadcast windows, so English-language databases listing "Everyone Wants to Meet You" refer specifically to the 2020 Zhang Zhehan and Zhang Ruonan series.<sup>[5](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9844888/)</sup>
