Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Time and Him are Just Right is worth clearing space for. Time and Him are Just Right trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. The stubborn, adorable Lin Xi approaches the crafty top student Ji Jun Xing on purpose. Throughout their "opportunistic" friendship, feelings bloom between the two as they are always there for each other. Not only do they make friends, but they also make their own dreams and goals come true in the end. Lu Yuxiao and Wu Junting lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It first aired in 2022–2023. The writing trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than wrapping everything up in a tidy conclusion — it is the approach that separates good drama from great. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Drama fans who appreciate slow-burn storytelling will feel right at home with Time and Him are Just Right.

Lu Yuxiao's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.
