It's a story about two women, with no climax and a slow, moving rhythm. Maybe it's easy to impress female audiences because it's about dreams and love.

Julia and Julie are two women living in different time and space. One has settled down with an underappreciated diplomat husband in the last century, and the other lives in a dwelling in the 21st century and goes to work every day. What they have in common is that They like cooking, and this seemingly simple and ordinary hobby has gradually developed into their dreams. In addition, they each have a solid and deep love from their husbands, which supports and helps them realize their dreams.

The two storylines extend independently and complement each other. They have the same perseverance, Julie decided to complete 564 recipes in 365 days, carefully recording every step and real feelings on the blog every day; Julia cut it in her own kitchen in order not to be underestimated in the Le Cordon Bleu cooking class. A house full of onions for a great knife. On the way to realize their dreams, they all encountered various difficulties. Julie was put out by the food editor and was almost dismissed. The book written by Julia has been stranded several times. But they were also having success, Julie was featured in The Age, and Julia's book was finally published. .

Julia and Julie might be happy but not necessarily happy if they only had career success. What brings them happiness is the lover who is determined to love and support her with practical actions. When they started to dream, they gave warm encouragement, when they put it into practice and encountered difficulties, they brought warm comfort, when they achieved success, they shared the common joy. All their commitment and tolerance come from the love that never leaves their hearts, because they know that the love that women need is not the burning of earth-shattering, but the nourishment of long-lasting water.

To have lasting love, to realize the dream of pursuit, this is the perfect life of a woman.
