Premise

The story follows Ji Qiu (季秋), a young variety-show director, and Zhou Ziqian (周子谦), a competitive shooter who has just returned to China from training abroad.² The two meet at a shooting range through a misunderstanding. Ji Qiu does not realize that the tall young man in front of her is the small boy who used to hide behind her when they were children, and she treats him as a newly acquainted younger brother.²

Zhou Ziqian enters a national shooting qualification competition and reaches the top eight. On the day of the final, he spots the familiar figure in the front row of the audience and recognizes her as he fires the decisive last shot.²^•⁸ He wins the championship in that final.⁸

The variety-show frame. Zhou Ziqian is then invited to take part in the new program Let's Meet Now produced by Ji Qiu's team, and the recording of the show creates a series of coincidences and intersections in the pair's work and daily lives. The two, described as a bickering couple, gradually come to understand each other's inner world.² The drama uses the variety show as its entry point and the reunion of the childhood friends as its throughline.⁹

A secondary thread follows Fu Qilei (傅其乐), Ji Qiu's close friend of many years, who gracefully gives up a secret crush he has carried for ten years and sincerely wishes the girl he loved through the best decade of his life well.² In the show-within-the-show storyline, Ji Qiu's project runs into trouble and her team faces dissolution; she draws inspiration for the new program's concept from watching Zhou Ziqian and Fu Qilei banter.¹⁰

Lu Yangyang plays Ji Qiu and He Yu plays Zhou Ziqian. The supporting cast includes Zhang Zijian as Fu Qilei, Jiang Zhinan as Song Rongrong, Sui Yuan as Cheng Jia, Zhou Junwei, Zhang Miaoyi as Fu Tian, Fang Xiaodong, and Li Zhifan.¹^•³^•⁴

Context in the 2022 market. In an industry discussion of the pay-per-view (分账) drama market, the business outlet Jiemian grouped Let's Meet Now with Hear My Voice, Tomorrow Will Be Fine, and Ah! Teacher as relatively well-reviewed modern sweet-romance dramas of 2022, in contrast to costume sweet-romance titles that remained caught in sameness.⁶ The National Radio and Television Administration's licensing record for September to December 2022 lists the series under license number (浙)网剧审字 (2022) 第004号 with 16 episodes registered by Hangzhou Youyisi Film and Television Culture Media Co., Ltd., while streaming platforms released it as 20 episodes.⁷^•²
