Turning the Tables: Best Friends Back in the Seventies

Turning the Tables: Best Friends Back in the Seventies is an AI period drama on Hongguo, a Chinese short-drama platform, with 126 episodes. It was No. 3 on Hongguo's AI drama hot chart when we checked. The official synopsis says modern best friends Xia Xiaoqi and Qiao Ran end up back in 1978 as two put-upon sisters-in-law in the Lu family. A nightmare mother-in-law, a difficult sister-in-law and unwanted admirers keep turning up, and the two refuse to just take it: they push back at the relatives, start their own business and get their husbands, a schoolteacher and a soldier, firmly on their side. The story is built around the two friends: both leads travel back together and sort their lives out side by side. Hongguo only says it belongs to its AI drama category. It doesn't say which AI tools were used or who produced it. The platform gives no English title, so the one here is our translation.

Who it's for:viewers who like period family drama with heroines who fight back, especially as a pair.
