Something is missing

Story was very nice ,actor and actress acting was also very good . Not only drama focus on the main characters but also supporting characters too . Story was totaly about family and their issues and how it affects the child. Story was about the importance of family and little bit about friends and friendship.. there were few romantic scenes and all were cute. Rest the whole drama about the hardship faced by the families . I like the story but drama was too lengthy I think there were some unnecessary scenes in the drama. At very ending of the drama when they had family pic so where was that small boy ,may be I miss a episode that's why I didn't know where was the boy . It is my view but I think whole characters should be show at her father's marriage . I really want to see main male and female character's marriage .
Can give a try to watch it

The Best Family Drama Ever

At the end of 2022, I started to watch this series and then complete it on January 2nd. What a rollercoaster journey. I laugh then cry, happy then mad, joyful and sorrowful. It's like watching real humans grow, with all the goodness and the nasty life can give. The plot is so smooth, unlike other drama that has distinctive arc per arc, this one flow like real life. Battle every day but also heal each other every day. This drama made me cry, but also LAUGHT, like— literally L.O.L.

Another thing that I love is the writers didn't force their moral values. The character speaks for themself, which is rare in Cdrama. Diversity of moral values and way of thinking. Complex character.

Another booster for this drama is the acting and characters, which is flawless. The main characters that all lovable and well act. The father, Li Hai Chao is the best-written father in the entire drama world, perfectly acted too. And He Zi Qiu, the man just made his own movie. Li Jian Jian and Ling Xiao, a sweet couple, some parts of their relationship are quite toxic, but the way they act and the storyline, bring an antidote to them. Tan Song Yun is a chameleon, at this point I'll think she can act as a baby or elderly, haha.

The only thing that is not my style is the OST and camera angle, some times can be awkward, and other times can be top-tier. But never disturb the storyline, so ok. Actually, after this series, I start to watch Meet Yourself, the drama made by the same team of director and writers. Production-wise, it's better. So I conclude maybe it's a budget situation, hehe.

It's quite a heavy story, so maybe I'll not rewatch it fully, but some part is fun to rewatch. In the end, this is my 10/10 base for Cdrama and family drama. I'll follow the writer's and the director's works onward.

MUST. WATCH.

This drama was SO good overall and I loved almost every single aspect of it. I came to watch this drama as a bored teen during quarantine and stumbled upon it on youtube. My first reaction was "Zhang Xincheng Song Weilong and Tan songyun in one drama together?!?!?! I was automatically hooked from the first episode when they were kids until they grew up and separated. Their chemistry was amazing, and the romance between Ling Xiao and Li Jian Jian was perfect/satisfying. Also, if you watch this drama, prepare to have tissues handy because oh boy, I cried like every episode for the first 13 episodes and I rarely cry. Next, i'm going to talk about every aspect in further detail below.

Story- Honestly, the story is extremely sad for all three sides of the families. And each has their own difficulties to deal with but the fact that the director/writer of the drama knew how to tie all three together, was so amazing to watch. Watching them comfort each other and cry on each others shoulders was very sad to see and brought tears to my eyes every time. Although I think the story was written well, I believe that HZQ should've had a happier ending and I really hope there's a sequel so he is happy again. His story was so depressing and made me really upset to see that he never actually ended up with anyone. (hopefully there is a season 2)

Acting/Cast- I absolutely LOVE Song Weilong as LX. He portrays the cold older brother perfectly and gave me the exact vibes he meant to give off. LJJ was the exact opposite of a character and it amazes me how 30 year old Tan songyun can pull it off. She's 30, portraying a 15 year old and the fact that I actually believed her, shows how good her acting is. Not to mention, she's so pretty. And LX is so hot XD. Now HZQ, had so many crying scenes that had me STUNNED at how natural his tears fell. And he's an amazing actor. (Not suprised that I watched Skate into Love after GO Ahead bc of how good ZXC's acting was)- The two dad's Ling Ba and LJJ's dad seemed like an old couple and they really gave me strong feelings that they really grew up with three kids and one made food while the other made money. I really believed them. QMY and TC (the two support females) were amazing too and their acting was pretty natural although I'll say that Tang Can was pretty "obnoxious" looking at the beginning. But, I also have to point out the SWL is literally 21, TSY is 30 and ZXC is like 26. And the fact that SWL portrayed the oldest brother and TSY portrayed the youngest sister SHOCKS me so much. But, they pulled it off and they pulled it off really well.

Music- Can I just start off by saying that I have a whole spotify playlist dedicated to the OST of this music. It's absolutely amazing and every single song is so good. ESPECIALLY the sad song; literally made me wanna cry everytime I heard them. I now listen to them every now and then and they are extremely soothing. And, in the drama, they were placed right at the perfect times to make it seem so heartwarming and touching.

Rewatch Value- I have already gone back and watched the good episodes like 10, 36, and more. (Reminder episodes 2-13 make u BAWL) literally. And rewatching them makes me feel really whole because of how much they made me cry. But, it was worth it. I wouldn't say that I would watch the whole drama again but I occasionally watch the kissing scens and scenes where SWL and TSY are together bc I love them in frame.

Overall- I 100% reccomend this drama because it's lowkey a super good drama.

A Good and Heartwarming Drama

I love the chemistry between the three of them, Jianjian, Ziqiu and Ling Xiao. They hit it well with their brothers and sister relationship. I love how protective Ziqiu and Ling Xiao towards Jianjian. Ziqiu is the type of brother that spoils his sister with everything she wants and often getting trouble with her, the playful kind of type. While Ling Xiao is in charge of discipline his sister, helps her with her problems and sensitive, the responsible one. And their sister Jianjian, are cheerful which bright their life, even though she is playful but Jianjian always there them when they were sad...

I also love Jianjian's father, he is so kind, and raise the boys together with Jianjian even they don't have any blood ties with the boys but he treat them so well. He raised them along with Ling Xiao's father, even though Ling Xiao's father always busy with works but his appearance matters. The five of them really make my heart overwhelmed with warm fuzzy feelings. They make a perfect family. It is really fun and funny to see only Jianjian is the only girl in the family, especially when she finally hits her puberty, it so awkward yet funny to see the fathers and the boys didn't know what to react or to say because they have no clue or experience.

I more agree Jianjian ended up with Liang Xiao rather than Ziqiu, not that Xiqiu is not good or something but for me he is far more better as brother than Jianjian's lover. His attitude towards Jianjian more like a brother and sister, he always spoiling her, tease her and a good partner in crime unlike Ling Xiao who more serious.

I've noticed this drama doesn't have much of the intruded from the outsiders but rather from their own families. But overalls, it is really good drama with just a light not so much complicated love story or heavy SLS whatsoever.

Most watch series of all time!

I'm actually pretty late to the game because i started watching this drama in 2021 (it came out in 2020) but i really love this drama. This is my first time watching c-drama, and i'm not regret every moment of it. As an asian women, i do relate with a lot of aspect in this drama, so this series really hits home. From family, friends, mother-daughter relationship, and father figure in the household. It's also touch several topic regarding mental health issues. Song Weilong as Ling Xiao really potray it well. And don't get me started with Tan Song Yun (Li Jian Jian) and Zhang Xincheng (Zi Qui) acting! Becuase both of the doing a fantastic job bringing these character to live. Their acting skills is no joke!

This series depict several topic. Conflict in this drama already complex and the main plot about family dynamic is very heavy, but Go Ahead's production team managed to bring it more lightly so i still find it funny and heartwarming. And also, every character is a character with a story, not just side actor. I love both of Li Jian Jian's bestfriends story. It's funny sometimes, but also full of meaningful lesson i can learn.

Overall, this drama is very good. Eventhough there's plenty of sad story but i didn't categorize this series as melodrama, because it's comedic. I guarantee that you will laugh as loud as any sound you can ever imagine.

Totally recommended!!

WORTH THE TEARS

This is my first CDrama and it was one of the most intriguing dramas that I've watched. It's relatable to our own lives, our own families, our own relationships, and our own growth. This drama really touched all the spots. It's emotional and made me cry almost every episode and at the same time funny, making me laugh every episode. It was light-hearted but at the same time very deep, with many life lessons and life reminders. It constantly showed how your decisions/actions can affect others for a short amount of time or a lifetime. How growing up won't stop those you care about from growing old. How everyone, in the end, deserves to be happy. Every character had their own story of trauma and growth. The acting was amazing, I was wrapped in from the very first episode! I would truly truly recommend this drama to everyone, it will surprise you how much you won't regret starting it.

NOSTALGIC, WARM & SATISFYING

STORYWISE - Very relatable. The story itself truly captivated me. It keeps me occupied and entertained until the end. There is DEPTH& SUBSTANCE.

CASTING- Super love the FL & ML’s. I’ve watched most of their dramas and this drama proves how good they are with their craft. DAD LI is simply the best! The actor who played this character is so good that at the end I keep hoping for his happy ending and it did! The child actors did an awesome job connecting to their adult figure. I love also the side characters. MINYUE & TAN CAN are the best besties you can have. That’s what friends are for, tested thru the years.

MUSIC - LOVE IT!

All in all! I LOVE TO WATCH IT AGAIN. Totally WORTH IT, CAPTIVATING, ENTERTAINING & SATISFYING. After watching it, I was filled with warmth and happiness.

AMAZING STORY

Hands down one of the most heartwarming stories about humans. HIGHLY recommended. This is the perfect medicine when you need to see a little bit of light and hope in the world. The characters are so wonderful and lovable. The most important part was that they were real. They made mistakes and they hurted too. This drama touches on the problem of mental health issues and the impact of parental neglect. It really shines a light on how kids are affected by their parents and how it could lead to a lot of mental damage and self doubt. Not only does it talk about parents abandonment, it also includes parents who care in the wrong way and push their way too much. Although it does have romance, it's very minimal. The focus is on familial love and it is showcased incredibly well in this drama. 100% would rewatch
