Go Ahead (2020)

THIS DRAMA IS ONE OF THE BEST FAMILY DRAMA HAVE WATCHED SO FAR THAT WAS WHY I RATED IT 10/10

If you need to watch drama that deals with family, I recommend this drama to you 100%. You will laugh,cry , happy, pity .... All along. The cast played there role so well that it felt like a am watching it real life. The second reason why I RATED it 10/10 is because of how they matches the music with the scenes. If you watch a sad episode, I doubt you won't be emotional with the music played. If you watch a happy episode,you will be happy for no reason with the music played. I don't know how to penned down all my Happy thought about this drama because it is just too good. After love designer/love customization , I would take it as another C_drama that I can never get tired of because it is just so real. Am the type that always love romance drama where there is always a French kiss,bed scenes....lol. but this particular drama changes my perspective. Let me recommend the C_drama have watched so far that I can't get tired of watching them. 1. Yanxi palace, Legend of Fuyao, Love designer or love customization, Dating in the kitchen, My love engliten me, my best of all External love also known as Fight for the throne 1&2 , Fox summer 1&2, External love of dream ... So many I couldn't remember all. If you have any recommendations too , kindly dropped it and note there must be a little or much romance in it ?.

Touching and relatable

This is one amazing plot. I highly recommend it. I just stumble upon this by chance. This drama is all about family and it conveys to be a family its not necessary to be blood related. Relationships are formed with emotion, care and love. It pulls at your heart strings. Loved all the 3 main characters. Steven Zhang is amazing and so cute. I have never been a Fan of seven tan but she did alright with her sun shine personality in the role. Song Weilong did justice to his broody and neglected traumatic child persona. All three deals with life in different ways. It is pretty good story, it has 40 episodes on viki but it does not feel like it drags or anything. In fact i felt they could have added couple of more.

Family show, at it's best, doesn't get better.

This is hands down one of the best family shows I have ever seen. The story and especially the characters are so well written, they all seem like real humans living life like everyone else, I was extremely happy with the way this show portrayed every kind of relationship with family. It was truly addictive and entertaining and made sure I cried BUCKETS of tears in most of the episodes, this much i have never cried while watching a show. I'll take a long time to get over this.
I would first like to start off with each and every character that I grew to love with the 40 episodes that I watched.
Li jianjian- she's literally one of the cutest female lead's I have ever seen! I'm so in awe of her. She's so sweet, optimistic and caring about her brothers and fathers. Shes so mature and supportive of everyone in her life and easily wins hearts of everyone.
Ling xiao - hes your typical brother who pretends to not care about you but does things for you secretly haha! I really liked his character too. The pain he went through really touched my heart and song wei long portrays this character so wonderfully even though hes like a 99 liner! Hes so young, yet so good at acting!
Ziqiu- I personally love ziqiu's character alot! He holds a special place in my heart. Hes such a sweet supportive brother! Always letting his sister do what she wants and cleaning up her mess! From when he was a child he was extremely mature and so sweet to everyone. I must say I cried the most for ziqiu. His story was truly so so emotional.
Li haichao- dad li is the best parent in dramaland, I'm not even kidding. Hes the best human and best dad. The love he has for his family is the definition of unconditional. His kindness is truly never seen before. I aspire to be like him in life. Always wishing well and taking care of others around him.
Ling heping- dad ling, even though wasnt around most of the time, he always cares for his kids, does small things and supports them. His small gestures towards his son really makes you see how good of a person he is.
Honestly, these are the main characters but even the side characters are dived deep into and we see them grow into better people too. This is one of the best parts of the show.
Story line of the show is perfectly paced, not too slow not to fast and timeline is also perfect ( 99,09,19). The show has perfectly portrayed everyone's stories with alot of details. We can see that the writer really worked hard to put together such a wonderful story.
Now for what really made me reduce my rating is the romance aspect. It's not that I hated the idea of it but the way they executed it really put me off. For a few episodes I was extremely confused. It just came out of nowhere and was rushed with a little bit of loopholes here and there. But after there 3 4 episodes I got used to it and moved on. I do understand the purpose of it though. Still could have been done better.
Other than this small thing that I didn't enjoy, this show was perfect. I literally reccomend everyone to watch it. It's a piece of art :)

A drama that hits deep into your heart and soul.

Go Ahead is one of those dramas whose story line draws you in. The drama itself is heartwarming, familial, and comical mixed with the struggles of reality, dreams and separation.

Acting/Cast/Characters: Each of the characters have their own color but the way each of the actors portrayed their character, you really feel their emotions and see everything from their own eyes. For me Ling Xiao's character itself was kind of bland and pitiable, but then the way Song Wei Long, was able to portray that pity in his character must have been no easy feat, so that is very commendable in my opinion. I have to really commend Steven Zhang though, he brought He Ziqiu to life and went over the top with his acting. By far, at least in my opinion He Ziqiu and Steven Zhang made this drama. Also if you hate or dislike a character, you know that the actress/actor is doing their job right!

Music: I am in love with the soundtrack that they used for this drama and each song that was played suited the scene well.

The only complaint I have for this drama was how they didn't show the repairing of the relationship between Ling Xiao's mother and Li JianJian. They could have extended it a little bit to show that part, but they didn't and instead they really rushed it.

I DID NOT REGRET WATCHING THIS!

I'd like to begin by saying that I highly recommend this drama... When the drama was on air, I had watched a few snippets and I had high expectations from it... I'm not saying that I didn't like it... I very much liked it.. It's a very relatable and heart touching drama...
The cast was too good... They have done a spectacular job at portraying every single emotion and character.. The story was pretty good with usual dramatic ups and downs but the drama managed to successfully pull it off.. I dont usually like watching flashbacks or slow intros but I really loved the childhood parts in this.. We need more people like Li Haichao in this world..
The drama had really good potential and I think that it could have been made a little better by eliminating certain parts.. Especially the love triangle between Li Jianjian, Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu... Yes, He Ziqiu was not really in love with her and gave up pretty soon but I still felt that it was completely unnecessary.. I'm a fan of romance, but I think that this drama could have really survived without the romance between the three of them.. And I didn't really feel the chemistry between Li Jianjian and Ling Xiao... The dynamic that the trio had as siblings during their childhood (I know, because of seperation for long duration and all but I'm not talking about that) was kind of lost in the 2nd half of the drama.. And I didn't really understand the relationship aspect between Li Jianjian and Ling Xiao? Like when? How? One minute Li Jian Jian was like, "no, you're my brother" and the next she's like, "you're my boyfriend"? This is the only complaint that I have with this drama... The romance was all over the place.. Everybody's romance was all over the place.. Except Li Haichao and He Mei's relationship... Now, that was adorable... I loved it!
I kind of felt that the ending was a little rushed but I watched the 40 episode version, so idk if there's any difference...
Overall, I'd highly recommend watching it and I had a pleasant time with this drama... The osts made me immediately go on youtube and download them! Do give this a try, you won't regret it.

Definitely my favorite drama and would watch it over and over again<333

I started this drama mainly because of Song Wei Long and before watching the first episode, I’ve already seen some clips on social media and it somehow didn't catch my attention that much. Nevertheless, since I had nothing to watch I decided to try it out, and it's now one of the best decisions I’ve made when it comes to cdramas.


What I loved:
1. Their childhood scenes - to be honest, I'm not a big fan of childhood scenes although in most dramas they’re usually just very short BUT IN THIS DRAMA I WAS IN LOVE WITH THE CUTE CHILD ACTORS AND ACTRESSES. The kids did such a great job in portraying their characters as if they really were the younger versions of the main leads. It didn't seem awkward to me at all and it somehow made me sad as I watched their last scenes as kids because I knew that I would miss them.

2. The main leads- As expected from these versatile actors and actresses, they surely never disappoint. They showed great chemistry and definitely perfect for their roles.
- For Song Wei Long in which I mentioned was the reason why I started this drama, it was very nice to see him portray a somehow different kind of character from his usual ones and HE STILL SLAYED IT. He expressed different kinds of emotions in every episode and it made me feel like I am his friend in real life because I wanted to comfort him so much.

- While for Steven Zhang, it was my first drama with him as the lead and I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM. The way he portrayed his character was just perfect as if the character was made for him. Watching this drama also made me a fan of him which is why I searched his dramas right away after I finished this drama and he truly is a wonderful actor.

- Lastly, Seven Tan also did not disappoint. It amazes me how suitable she is for Li Jianjian’s character ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HER AGE TOO. Despite being in her 30s she portrayed being a high school student in the most outstanding way. I can't imagine other actresses doing her character not because they are not as good as her but because SHE PORTRAYED IT TOO WELL. Also became a fan of her afterward hehe.

3. Storyline - The writer and the whole team are just all geniuses. Family problems, romance, friendships, some might think that this will be just like the other dramas BUT NO, they really added some spice here and TOO MUCH SPICE WHICH IS WHY EVERYONE LOVES IT. The conflicts they gave are very realistic and at the same time, it is very new to the viewers. Each character teaches you a lesson and would inspire you. Although this drama broke my heart and made me cry so much, IT WAS ALL WORTH IT. It was nice to see each character grow and slowly overcome their problems with the help of their families and friends. Truly one of the best storylines.

4. Length - Some may know that cdramas are usually very long but this drama never made me complain because each episode is worthwhile. I am very satisfied with the number of episodes and the pacing so you all don't have to worry about it.

5. Rewatch value - I actually watched this drama last year back when it was still ongoing AND UP UNTIL NOW IM STILL WAITING FOR THE TIME THAT THE SCENES ARENT THAT FRESH IN MY MIND SO I CAN REWATCH IT AGAIN IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. But sadly, this drama is too good and my brain refuses to forget it so all I can do is to convince you all to watch.


What I didnt like:

1. None hehe


Anyway, may all these reviews from other people and me be enough to convince you to watch because you’re missing out on such impressive drama (or I suggest watching the first few eps and see if you’ll like it).

This always happens....

I read a synopsis of a drama and think I don't think I'll really like it but everyone says it's so good. So I put on my plan to watch shelf until I thought I might want to watch it. Well I did and it's become on of my favorite. I have done this before where I think it's not going to be good and then BOOM, I love it.

This is a really good ensemble cast that you want to love everyone and their slightly weird story lines. It's got just the right amount of angst and tears. It flows from funny to sad to funny. It makes you feel very warm. I like that the characters were more than 2D and had normal thoughts and feelings.

I super encourage watching this if you love to see the whole cast love and spend time with each other, strong FL, strong (hot) ML, great 2ML and 2FLs, if you like quirky families, and interconnected stories.

Worth of your time!

Story - it started with kids and watching them growing up so basically from childhood to high school to university (bits) till adult. It's relatable to any of us - friendship, love, career, and most importantly family values.
Acting - Each of them fit to their roles. Ah especially those aunties like to gossip. Those expression (me rolled eyes)
Music - the songs are soothing to hear and some quite meaningful to listen it
Rewatch Value : Hmm will watch funny parts like the female lead with her friends and sweet & funny moments of siblings. Total skip with be the momsss.

Overall : Good plot, acting and so. Only thing is what's wrong with those female in this drama? Aside female lead & her friends. I just dont like how it portrays all moms in this drama are "bad" - some explained later however more than half of the drama - we misunderstand and it feel like just what's wrong with the moms here. And the most heavy scenes related to certain mom - like doesn't make much of sense that so hateful from beginning till almost end then she was like "we are best friend now" .....haih. Oh and the female doctor. Is it normal culture or something? The way female doctor act? Asking here and there around about the male lead habit and whatsoever and saying things like whether suit to bring him to see her parents but actually she never even interact much with the male lead at all. wth @@

Worth the high rating

My oversimplified review
STORY: Unique plot, not too complicated even though it follows the lives of three families and their respective issues. The family issues between the kids and their outsider parents/families are very painful to watch but realistic, they can be triggering for some so take a break/skip if you need it.
EXECUTION: All actors fit their roles perfectly, props to Seven Tan, Song Wei Long, Steven Zhang, Tu Song Yan, Zhang Xi Lin and Yang Tong Shu (the child actors also did great in this drama). Chemistry between the actors was phenomenal and made the acting come to life. I cried (get tissues ready) and laughed in every episode. Music in the show, although mostly with a sad tone, all fit perfectly with what was on screen (無畏 and 雨 are my favorite). Switching between past and present was clear and there was never any confusion in what was happening in the show.
OVERALL: I rarely rewatch shows but this one is different, I often find myself watching parts of certain episodes on youtube when the clips show up on my recommendations page. Everything was done right in my opinion. I have recommended this show to so many people and most share my enthusiasm about the show. If i'm being honest, I have found it hard to find another show that is this good since watching and all other shows seem bland in comparison.
