It’s a good show, but with some flaws
I love the main plot of Go Ahead. It’s so original and well written to see the neighbor and his new friend raising these kids through the years, and see how they became a family. A different type of family. This was the thing that made me love these people so much. The caring of these three to each other and their fathers was something so beautiful to watch. He Ziqiu is my favorite character, along side with his dad. All the scenes with them two together for me bring the best quality that this show had to offer. The love of Haichao for his kids made me cry so many times. I don’t have words to describe how pure and genuine this was.But now I have to say about the negative things of Go Ahead. The moms. I think that have some things about the Chinese culture, that I’m not aware of, but how come these awful, so disturbing, disrespectful women made their kids suffer so much and in the end they had their “good ending”?! Specially Ling Xiao’s mom. This woman for me was the worst of this show. So many scene with her for nothing. Only she being awful and annoying all the time. Ok, I know she was sick, but I think the show losts its hands sometimes, cause it have so much other good plots to tell, and they show decide to show more of her awfulness. Parts of I didn’t like more was because of her. The other ones, so many things I think were wrong, oh my God… I can’t even know what to say. The only one that for me have the perfect story was He Mei. We understand what she went through, and she deserves a happy ending with Haichao. They are perfect together.
Talking about to the three main characters, the siblings. Their chemistry was top notch. For me, I don’t think that was necessary to put Ziqiu to had a “love interest” for JianJian. They’re siblings, the end. And I like that she end up with Ling Xiao. They’re meant to be since they were little. This was beautiful too.
So, in conclusion, I have the feeling that the 40 episodes was too much, for things that for me doesn’t sound good to tell (the so much of the mothers plots, the worst of it). But the rest was so good, and in general was a good show too.
In my heart, I’ll stay with this cute family in my heart, Haichao, Heping, Ling Xiao, Ziqiu and JianJian. All the times that they’re all together, was the highlight of the show. They are the best thing of all this.

Heartwarming yet heartbreaking
Go Ahead is absolutely a masterpiece that everyone should watch. It is definitely one of the most meaningful and touching drama I've watched. While watching it, I was swarmed with all kinds of emotions such as joy, sadness, anger, and relief. This drama will literally take you on a rollercoster ride.You get to witness the ups and downs of each character as they grow and face different kinds of problems in life. It teaches us the importance and definition of family, wherein a family is built on love and care and its members are not defined by blood.
Watching Go Ahead will make you cherish your family and the people around you who continuely supports you. It showed us how the peaceful and joyful life that we share with the family we built can easily crumble when our past comes knocking on our door that places us in dilemma between our biological family that abandoned us or the people that accepted and treated us as their own family. It makes us realizes that the relationship we have will eventually change, for change is a constant. The only thing we can do is to move forward and go ahead in life. One day, the people close to us may leave, the things we avoid may suddenly appear, and the life we're trying so hard to hold on fall apart in an instant.
It tackled about the pressure that children face because of their parents and how it can grow and turn into their darkest scars. The show opens our eyes as to how avoidance or keeping our problems to ourselves is not the solution. It will eventually haunt us or make us overwhelmed with the burden we've placed on ourselves. Sometimes we don't want others to know the problems we're dealing in order for them not to worry or pity us and so that we won't trouble them with our own problems, but sometimes its better to open up even though the may not be able to offer some help instead of bottling all our all feelings because thats what familes and friends are for, which is to support one another.

BEST CHINESE DRAMA I'VE WATCHED SO FAR THIS 2020
I started watching this drama with just the sole purpose of seeing Song Weilong with no hopes that this drama will be great. But as I watched the first episode I honestly enjoyed it. I can say that because I felt that I've watched a 10 minutes long drama when in fact it was 40 minutes long.I like the story. It was not the typical over dramatic story with heavily dramatized problems in life. It was just the right amount that made it perfectly portrayed the real life scenarios.
I like the acting. Their acting resonated inside me and that's why when they laugh, I laugh; when they cry, I cried.
Young adults would probably realize a lot from this drama. A whole lot. It will make you realize the harsh truth of being an adult, of growing up.

Unexpectedly good!
I thought this would be another cliche series. I was WRONG. Soooo good and so touched by the lines they used. It was very true to heart. The love the kids had for the parents, the way the parents treated the kids, best to worst all of it. Some scenes made my heart shatter, so scenes just glue them all together again. Oh man I love this show so much I think I’d cry again watching it. Such a job well done. It’s the first time I felt Chinese series is too short I wanted more episodes! :( Just watch this show you won’t regret it!!Considerați utilă această recenzie?

Truly Beautiful and Lovely! Cant get over it.
I read on "Go Ahead" Wiki that in China the rating of this drama dropped when suddenly two non-blood relater brother confessed their love for Li Jianjian. There is no way that one could just judge the drama on this basis alone. Also, both the characters in the drama have their own reasons for doing so. And to understand such a thought process, one needs to be mature and has emotional intelligence.We all can see that Ling Xiao and Li Jianjian always have something going on (crushing each other vibe) though Li Jianjian didn't realize it before. So, it's quite normal for Ling Xiao to confess his love for Li Jianjian.
About He Ziqui, his wanting to be married to Li Jianjian is more to do with staying with the family forever. He is very protective of her. And He feels only he can protect and care for her the best.
And his love for her is very brotherly and family vibe. He loves his dad Li wholeheartedly. With this thought, his confession is justified.
The story of this drama is well thought out and well written. It depicts all the emotions which one faces in normal life. And it's truly beautiful. The actors and actresses performed outstandingly for the characters they are playing. It was a roller-coaster ride of emotions. Can't help myself saying - It was truly beautiful. Every bit of the drama is worth it. All the characters are lovely, of course! except for Ling Xiao's mum. But the actress did a great job of making us hate her so much. She really did a great job of depicting an evil, selfish-centric, and difficult-to-be-with person.
Thank you, Producer, Long Ya for producing this amazing drama and screenwriters Shui Qianmo and Wang Xiongcheng for complying with this beautiful family story.

Heartwarming
If you're looking for a slice-of-life family drama, this is the best it gets. I must have cried every other episode, and it's rare to see a drama where every character gets a fleshed-out backstory that tugs at the heartstrings. There's a lot of struggle and tragedy but a lot of love as well — and it really felt like no minutes in this drama were wasted and no character felt left behind. This drama just gave me so many feelings, especially when it came to the two fathers.The romance was done really well too; it was hinted at early on and developed naturally — there was no annoying breakup and misunderstanding. This drama describes why I love friends-to-lovers, because they just know each other well enough.
The OST is perfect and powerful; listening to the songs afterwards isn't just like watching the show all over again, it was like seeing myself grow up in the last 20 years and feeling the nostagia of it all.
There's some comments about the ending feeling rushed and to a certain extent I feel that as well, but ultimately I think it was more of a feeling of not wanting it to be over. I'd seriously highly recommend this one.

Good Show
It has a really compelling story. It took me a while to get fully into it, but I enjoyed it. It had the best cooking scenes. The whole love plot was annoying it could have been just a really cute story of friendship, but Jian Jian and Xiao grew on me.I absolutely hated the love triangle I felt like Xiao and Zi Qiu could have been closer and we don't see too much of their friendship. The ending honestly sucked, they could've fleshed it out more and had a satisfying conclusion. I hated how most of the episode was about Xiao's mom. Everyone did really great in portraying their characters. I really like the OST. I would not watch this again because it was super long and emotionally draining. Overall I enjoyed it, felt like their could be more to the ending though.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

A beautiful and touching drama
I have seen many clips of the drama on YouTube and it urge me to watch it which I DONT REGRET IT!!!Song Wei Long, Steven Zhang and Seven Tan did a remarkable job . Their acting were on point and I can feel the emotions they were trying to convey. I feel nostalgic when watching some scenes as it brings back some of my memories in school.
The person who played ling xiao's mother did a great job because I hated her. Initially, I tried to sympathize with her but I start disliking her when she tried to make ling xiao stay with her.

Overrated!
The story might be good but not great. The cast was pretty boring except for Song Weilong. Seven Tan's Character is an irony. She is not that lovable to be liked by two men. She has a brash attitude and annoying. Everything about her is just ordinary. For me as a viewer, she is not worthy to be gazed upon. I will not spend money on this artist. An actress must at least be charming and pretty. Steven Zhang smile is not captivating. Next time better not to smile because he would lose his charm. I liked the elders' acting better. Song Weilong's acting is better among the younger artists even when he doesn't smile.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

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 🤩.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
