Great Taiwanese show that explores a life of a middle-aged woman. The stories might seem ordinary yet they are very relatable in a lot of ways for women in Taiwan and in general. It's not very often you get to see a woman portrayed so realistically in television in Taiwan.
I always believe that the most impressive and moving story is just our daily life, in which we can empathize with the characters naturally. And The Making of an Ordinary Woman is such an excellent example that affects me deeply even though the storyline is set in Taiwan and I am from Chinese mainland. Although I cannot understand Taiwanese dialect spoken in the episodes, it really sounds familiar to me because we will speak dialect in our hometown as well and it evokes memories of my youth when scenes of childhood of Chen Chia-Ling appear. Technically speaking, the first season is better because the oranization of past and present things is much smoother. However, the overall quality of the series deserves highest rating.
