Yang Ke Fan grew up in a herb farm on top of a hill.

I liked it a lot! Some scenes were very touching, and some were VERY funny...But I wasn't happy with the ending at all--quite sad, and not what I expected at all dry.gif But I LOVE the OST!! such great songs, seriously....(well ok, I like only about 5-6 of them...) But it doesn't seem like this was very popular...
