Go Ahead (2020)

LOVED this drama!

I want to be part of the Li/Ling family! What a beautiful story. So "real" -- all of the bumps and bruises and not wrapped up neatly, just like real life. Family isn't just about DNA, it's about the people we choose to be family, and this drama depicts the very best kind of family. I want a Ba like Li Ba! Loved it. Will definitely watch again. Originally I watched it because of the ML, I enjoyed him in Find Yourself and am so glad he starred in this one because it was so good!

Go Ahead and watch because this is the best!!!!

This drama made me laugh, cry, and in-love. The story is amazing, the actors did such a great job on their roles, you can even feel emotions even in the scenes without dialogues. The leads were perfect for their characters, there were scenes that you can feel their emotions even if there are no lines. It's one of those stories that would make you all warm after watching it. I also love how the story depicted love, how it can destroy or heal you. SWL -his acting here, is just on point, there are scenes where I actually felt how suffocated he was while trying to keep it all together. This is the first time I've seen Seven Tan, and I think no other actress can pull off JianJian than her. Steven Zhang, my beloved Ziqiu... his acting is just... perfect. Out of all the three leads, his acting was the best (for me), those eyes... and when he cries, I feel like reaching out to the screen so I can give him a hug. This is the best drama of 2020 (for me). Will I rewatch this without skipping? Definitely. This will leave you feeling warm and loved. So watch it!

Most touching storyline ever

This was such a touching story line. It made me cry like almost every episode. It made me really empathise to those who have family problems and let me realise how lucky I am to be so happy with no problems within my family or any relatives. The music was great and the casting of the drama was excellent. Acting was also amazing. Although it made me cry a lot, however there are a lot of funny parts too. All in all, this drama was amazing. 10 out of 10!!!! I absolutely love it, this is my favourite drama yet. I really recommend this and it is really relatable to real life. Go and watch it now!!!!! :):):):):):)

REALISTIC AND RELATABLE

There are people who dislike the drama for example due to the romance between the two leads but I think rather than picking at the faults in the drama, why not enjoy and appreciate it for what it has to offer? I was able to relate to more than one of the characters and really put myself in their shoes and feel whatever they're feeling whether it be sadness, anger, hurt, regret. The actors all delivered the emotions well, I cried and laughed with them. I also think that I learned some lessons from this drama whether it be about family, love, friendship, or just about growing up in general. This for sure would be an unforgettable drama. For people contemplating whether to start it or not, I'd say it's worth a try. I can definitely see myself rewatching this drama or parts of it for the feels.

A drama that fills your heart with warmth

This is the first time I am writing a review about a drama in three years which means this drama has moved me so much.
First of all, the story is so well written. Each and every character has so much depth and their story is so well portrayed. You find yourself smiling at the chemistry shared by the characters.
Now when it comes to the acting, hats off to all the actors in this drama. Everyone did so well that you find yourself connected to these characters. Ling Xiao, Ziqiu, and Jianjian definitely steal your heart but at the same time the characters around them can totally catch you.
I have nothing to say about the music. The music is like a breather to our soul. Its so touching and it plays a wonderful role in making the drama memorable.
Overall this drama is a very heart-warming one which can bring a satisfaction to your heart. Definitely give this drama a try.

Best of 2020

This is one of the best dramas I've ever seen. I rarely come across a drama that can hold my attention for 16 episodes, much less 40. I loved seeing the main characters grow up, grow apart, and grow back together, and the love story really felt incredibly organic. I'm already looking forward to rewatching it.
The one complaint that I have is I felt the drama weakened after the 30-episode mark. The main couple and the dads got pushed to the side toward the end in favor of wrapping up the side plots. I really feel like this should've been closer to 45 or 50 episodes with how rushed the last 5 episodes felt, to the point that I wonder if they had to make significant cuts pre- or post-production. The finale didn't feel like a finale at all, and some of the resolution felt a little shallow. I would've liked to see Ling Xiao go to freaking therapy for one, and for his mom and sister to actually get some help too.
But overall, amazing drama that had me crying literally every episode, with a stellar cast and so much heart. Definitely a highlight of 2020 and a go-to comfort drama now.

my review on go ahead!

it was a nice cdrama, it had a nice plot but did take a very long time to develop and it felt like most of the later episodes were fill-ups which were a bit disappointing but it's not the worst, and still loved this cdrama.

I really liked the concept of this drama and adored the relationships that the three had and how the brothers always came up for their sister.

this drama did contain a love triangle. I rarely like the love triangle trope but with this one I kinda already knew who she was gonna end up with, so it wasn't the worst but if I didn't spoil myself w who she might end up with I would've been in a lot of pain because of this triangle.

it had great acting there were fun and energetic scenes but also sad scenes that were very well executed. they had very great chemistry that made the drama very pleasant to watch.

my rating: 8,5/10

Wholesome Rolar Coaster Drama

Showed every emotions of regular life.
starting from families and their bond, bond between neighbour from family.
showed that not every child have beautiful childhood.
but also showed great siblings bond. Sometimes being a single parent is not a bad thing.
Showed how emotions started fade away when we don't stay in touch with our love ones and feel awkward when we face them after a huge distance. Technology can't always help us to feel the warmness of being together.
This drama also showed how to love. showed emotions of one sided love to tringle love.
about parenting.
about family issues,
about depressions,
also showed every one's individualities.
JUST WATCH IT.
NOT GONNA REGREAT.
VERY WORTH WATCHING.

A Must Watch At Least Once In a Lifetime

I joined MDL just so I can give rating to this drama. Very endearing, heartwarming, and touching. The best drama I've ever watched so far, realistic dialogues and scenarios, beautifully written in-depth characters, satisfying closures, amazing casting, beautiful OSTs, and full of morals and good principles; really gave me a lesson about family and filial piety, though also gives importance of found-family based on care and affection. A must watch drama in a lifetime. Of course there are things not liking to my taste but they're all about preferences :) I give this drama a 10 because 9 doesn't do the drama justice! Go watch it, it's worth the episodes!

BEST DRAMA OF 2020

This is my favorite drama out of hundreds I’ve watched. It was so wholesome. All the relationships were so beautifully written including romantic relationships, friendships, relationships between parents and children and relationship between siblings. It ran strong with the theme that “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” where two of our main characters CHOSE their family rather than be with the family they were born to.

Let’s start with our leads.

Jiangjiang is our female lead and she is adorable. She’s funny, caring, cheerful and independent. Without her and her accepting and generous nature, this story could not start. Sure, she was portrayed as dumb in high school but that’s not her whole personality. She’s not the “A Playful Kiss - Oh Ha Ni” dumb where I hated myself a little bit more every new episode, so please don’t hold yourself back because of it. JiangJiang is one of the best female leads I’ve seen with great character development. She grows, she learns and she matures at the end of the drama but she still keeps everything good about her with her.

Song Wei Long as Ling Xiao made me SWOON. I’ve watched him in Find Yourself before and as attractive as he was, the plot line was pure shit so there was not much appeal. But in Go Ahead, he was amazing. Ling Xiao gets “adopted” as a brother by Li JiangJiang at the start of the show when they were kids. His background is really sad and the friendship between the two blossoms methodically and wonderfully. This friendship lasts till the end of high school and throughout high school we can see how much they love each other. HE EVEN BECOMES A DENTIST FOR HER. UGHH THERE’S SO MUCH TO WRITEEEE. Just please watch it :’)

He Ziqui played by Steve Chang made me cry. He was such a well written character. The only thing he wanted was a family and to make people around him happy. There’s so much he sacrificed and there was so much good in him. He was, to me undoubtedly, the most pitiful character, especially as a child. As he grows up, we see him become more confident and mature and overall more well rounded. I literally cried when he was washing other people’s clothes late at night to be filial. There was a lot of depth to his character and EVERYONE HERE SHOULD APPRECIATE HIM.

Overall, the OST was great, the themes were great, the actors and the characters were great, and the plot line was great. Just watch it. Trust me. You’ll love it.

PS: the OST was amazing. You Are My Everything is now my bop.
