Modern City(2021)

Modern City is a Chinese drama that follows Song Si Ning, an HR director at a major insurance firm, and her husband Li Jun Long, a startup CEO, as they navigate the competing demands of ambition and family life in a sprawling metropolis. Their marriage fractures over fundamental disagreements: he wants another child while she's climbing the corporate ladder at her peak. As Si Ning faces impossible choices—advance her career or step back, fight for her marriage or walk away—the couple confronts the messy reality of modern partnership. Modern City captures how two driven professionals grapple with sacrifice, compromise, and the cost of success, exploring whether love and ambition can coexist or whether one must always yield to the other.
