China DailyPoster of Just In Time. The TV series Just in Time, which delves into the complexities of midlife crises, has captivated audiences, amassing over 1.5 billion views on streaming platform Mango TV, according to the producers during a recent seminar in Beijing. Adapted from a popular novel by author Jiang Lizi, the 40-episode drama focuses on personal and career challenges facing three middle-aged women. Director Han Xiaojun revealed that the initial stage of scriptwriting was a collective effort where the primary creators gathered to share personal and secondhand stories of midlife crises. Yin Hong, the vice-chairman of the China Film Association, said that although the domestic TV market has produced many series featuring women as protagonists in recent years, Just in Time has distinguished itself with its unique approach to discussing gender equality through a heartwarming narrative.
