I think the last time I fell in love with a drama the way I did with "Nothing But Thirty" was "Q Series: Life Plan A and B (2016)" starring Rainie Yang. And I can see some similarities between both of them, in the way women choose their destiny and take over control of their narratives.

However, in Nothing But Thirty this goes a path forward: there is no just one woman, but three from different backgrounds, interests and motivations that decide to go against the rules established by society. They're not rebellious in an aggressive way, but they candidly, wisely and above all assertively decide what they want for their lives, even if this implies confronting their families, question their "filial piety" (unfortunately still so crucial in East Asian societies), losing jobs or their lovers.

In fact, every time one of these "break" situations –let's say– arrive, the three girls are together to face the struggles life poses for them. I've never been so satisfied watching women enjoying their lives without men in the middle, and it was an amazing way to meet another China: the one that promises a lot for women, but at the same time struggles with traditions and patriarchal costumes we can even relate in distant places. Such a challenge not only in Asia, but everywhere.

I totally recommend this drama, actually, I wish everyone could watch it to laugh, cry, get angry; and, above all, enjoy the true meaning of friendship and sorority in a way few times seen in a Chinese (or Asian) drama!
