A Romance of the Little Forest (Season 1)

A Romance of the Little Forest (2022) is a Chinese romantic drama you can watch online on iFILM. Botany professor Zhuan Yu (Zhang Binbin) lives entirely for his research — money, fame, and relationships mean nothing to him. A fieldwork trip sends him to a rural village, where he ends up lodging with the family of Yu Meijing (Yu Shu Xin), a woman with a doctorate in ornithology and a long-standing grievance against him.

Forced to share the same space while he documents local plant specimens, the two slowly work through old resentments. Director Cai Cun tells a quiet, slow-burn story — one where the real drama is in the pauses, two stubborn people refusing to admit what's already obvious.
