The experience provided a wealth of material for The Ordinary Road, a 36-episode TV series, which follows the endeavors of three young legal interns as they pursue their dreams of becoming lawyers.

Comedian Guo Qilin, actress Jin Chen and actor Yan Zidong team up to play the trio of interns on the TV drama, which has been broadcasting on China Central Television's channel CCTV-8 and the streaming site Tencent Video since May 3. The TV series has currently obtained 7.2 points out of 10 on the review aggregator platform Douban.

According to Chen, the series is not a typical legal drama, where high-paid lawyers passionately defend their clients in court while dressed in expensive suits.

Instead, the show focuses more on exploring the hardships and challenges faced by those who are taking their first steps in the legal field and are trying to navigate their way through the complexities of the profession.

In the series, Guo, who is also a well-known cross-talk performer, portrays Pan Yan, a recent college graduate who grew up in a small city and, despite sending out 200 resumes, is having difficulty finding a job.
