One of the most relatable, heart-warming, and touching shows ever!!!

This was the first Chinese modern-day drama that I've ever watched because I typically only watch historical dramas. I gave it a try because I'm a big fan of Song Weilong and it exceeded my expectations in every single way. Overall, the plot is beautifully written and executed perfectly by all of the characters. I love all of the main leads and enjoyed watching them mature and evolve into decent adults. The problems/issues in the show are also very relatable. Lastly, the show has a perfect blend of everything. While there are many comedic and silly scenes, there are just as many serious and heart-breaking scenes. This is a MUST watch!

tbh one of the best modern dramas out there

I've been watching this drama ever since the first episode premiered and every day I've been waiting for every episode as I was stuck into this drama I always wanted to know what would happen next. Now I've watched this drama twice and yes it's sooooo gooddd!! Compared to other modern Chinese dramas out there, this has to be the best since I believe that everyone can relate to at least one character in the drama as it talks about realistic and relatable issues. This drama had moments which made me cry or laugh as this drama is kind of a melodrama, comedy and romance all in one.

Story - 10:
In my honest opinion, I wish there were more episodes since there are still missing details that could've been added to the ending of the drama, BUT STILL, I LOVE THIS DRAMA SO MUCHHH!!! The story had a lot of meanings behind every few scenes which is why I think this drama can be watched by all ages, unlike other dramas which are only suited to teenagers. What I love the most about this drama is that it is more realistic compared to other dramas. In this drama, everyone has problems as this drama talks about the parent's issues, the children's issues and the friend's issues as well, it's not like other dramas where the male lead is perfect where he is rich and encounters no problems throughout his life, in this drama, both male main leads, Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu have flaws and problems during their lives. The family in this drama is not the most fortunate in the world which can be relatable to many other people. This drama shows that people can look like they are perfect but in reality, they might not be the most perfect person.

Acting/Cast - 9:
I feel like this drama couldn't have a better cast cause the cast in this drama was perfect. All acting was natural and well done.

Song Weilong suited Ling Xiao's personality, Song Weilong said in an interview that he could relate to the story of the drama which helped Ling Xiao to be acted out well by Song Weilong. Song Weilong was probably 20 while in this drama but he seems to be mature in real life too so I could see why he could act as Ling Xiao. But his acting could've been better as there were some scenes where he looked a bit forced.

Zhang Xincheng acted well as He Ziqiu, whenever he cried, I couldn't help but cry along with him. His role in the drama suited him as well as He Ziqiu was meant to be an outgoing person not letting troubles get in his way and Zhang Xincheng pulled the character altogether.

I was surprised at how well Tan Songyun acted out Li Jian Jian, she's 30 years old and had to act like a 16-year-old for part of the drama which was well acted out. I also heard that Tan Songyun also could relate to the story of this drama as she had similar problems as Li Jian Jian.

Not only did the main actors acted their characters well but even the parents and friends acted their part of the drama well which is rarely seen in many dramas. Also, even though the other characters were supporting roles of the drama, they still had moments throughout the drama where they show their problems in their life. We could see what was happening in Li Hai Chao (Li Jian Jian's father), Ming Yue and Tang Can's life.

Music - 10:
I saved all the osts onto my spotify playlist cause the songs are so goodddd. Most of the songs are quite lo-fi which is technically great when you want to calm yourself down or when you want to cry haha. Tan Songyun sings a song that's in the ost called Like a Breeze, but how in the world can she be so talented tho. Her voice is really beautiful just like her acting skills.

Rewatch Value - 10:
Well, I've watched it twice so I mean watch it as much as you want cause it's up to your choice. But I like to rewatch my favourite dramas a second time cause like why not?

Overall I rate it a 10 of course since its such an amazing drama. I RECOMMEND IT TO LITERALLY EVERYONE!!!

Estranho

Deus é testemunha de como eu me esforçei para gostar desta protagonista feminina. Porém foi missão impossivel ela era irritante e infantil desde criança, pensei que iria melhorar quando ficasse adulta mais a personagem continuou infantil e chata, não acresentou em nada na serie, tá para se ercrito personagem mais incomodô.

A premissa até que era boa eu relamente vim assistir por causa do enredo, pensei que iria ter uma boa história familiar que até em certo ponto teve porém tudo foi por aguá abaixo quando os roteiristas tiveram a péssima ideia de colocar romance na história e o pior entre irmãos.

Não me venha dizer que só por que eles não tem o mesmo sangue que é normal se apaixonar, gente só eu acho estranho isso não é possivel.

Confesso que teve vários momentos em familia que adorei assistir, o amor dos dois pais pelas crianças deixou meu coração aquecido, e os protagonistas como irmãos sempre cuidando um do outro era muito bom e saudavel, eu queria muito que tudo tivesse continuado assim, tinha muito para se explorar se eles mantivessem o foco na familia .

Começou a ficar desagradável para mim quando os irmãos se declararam principalmente o dentista, ele era assustador, manipulador e possessivo foi extremamente incomodo para mim , aquilo era bizarro demais, é incestuoso e desagradavel de se ver ,o pouco de interesse que eu tinha foi pro ralo abaixo. Digo que terminei esse drama pois eu me afeiçoei ao protagonista masculino que ra confeiteiro apesar de descordar com alguns traços estranhos no personagem dele porém, simpatizei com ele desde que ele era criança queria ver o final da história dele.

Não digo que é ruim porem está longe de ser bom para mim.

Not a cliche drama (this drama really have many conflict and tragic story), but gives us a warm vibe

I really love this drama! I'm a newbie in Chinese drama but for all of the drama I've ever watched, I think this is one of the best plots. I can feel a warmness in a family but they give us so much conflict and a lot of moral stories you can get from this drama. I think most of the Chinese dramas that I've watched were really light conflict, but this is perfect. The OST is really good too. I really love their acting. How lucky they have 2 dads like Ling and Li. I love because this story not too focused on romance but how every character has their problem and how to overcome it, and lead them to adulthood, how life isn't easy when you became an adult and somehow one day we must face it. I love to see they grew from childhood, teenager, and become a mature person. Must check it out if you have time to watch!

Disgusting Incestuous Family Love Triangle

Yeah, I'm not going to bother finish watching this series. It's disgusting. They could have FIXED this problem easily by just having the three leads as close childhood friends--instead, they made this big deal about how they grew up as brothers and sister. There is no getting around that. How the hell are you going to turn that into a romance?!

Which is a shame because the female lead is a very good actor as are the two fathers. The two male leads are kind of wooden. They also have good supporting characters in Mingyue and Tang Can (or Can Tang, whatever her name is).

first 10 plus episodes were great then it went downhill

first 10+ episodes were still nice. especially liked it when they were young. the whole heartwarming family drama. I loved the father and how he took care of them, the bonds between the siblings. the point of being unrelated but still being a family.

So didn't understand why ling xiao had to leave, and leave his family for his mother who left him? why don't cherish the people important to you? and okay he ziqiu leaving to study abroad. but why don't come back at all for 9 years??

the worst is later when ling xiao confessed to jian jian, she rejected him saying he's like a brother until he force kissed her. and then he zi qiu also confessed, and she also said that he's only a brother to her. but maybe all he should have done was force kiss her as well?? i feel like it would have been better if they showed her having some kinda liking toward lingxiao from high school but buried it cause he's her brother. or else, it just feels damn off. i feel the yikes every time during their romance scenes. and feel so bad for he zi qiu when he was just being you know decent, respectful, although he should have definitely been more active at chasing her? anyway their romance was just so hard to watch. or how it seems like he's guilt tripping her and everything. ugh
i think it would have been great if she was the same to both and said yall are both my brothers. and got another boyfriend lol.
definitely should have continued more of the heartwarming family drama scenes after episode 10. like i didn't sign up for this ??

Everything about this drama is beautifully bitter sweet and heart throbbing, the focus on family relationships is so real. Director beautifully executed the scenes well and I love how they don't cut out minor details that seem extra but lets you see how the characters would really interact. One of the best dramas in history in my opinion but I could not carry on watching it anymore since episode 21+ because it was so heart breaking and heavy. Every time after I finish a episode i feel extra heavy in my mood and I cannot binge watch (which I usuallly do) for this because there is just so much emotions in one episode alone. I'm not talking as if i can relate to the experiences with same personal experiences which I don't have, which is why i find it amusing how this drama is able to portray the realness of anxiety, fear and rejection people face today. Takes much emotional energy to watch this I would say.

Started great but got boring

from the very beginning, I liked the set, plot and acting. in comparison to other asian family dramas that I've watched, the story and ideas were much more relatable and I liked how they were telling a story of a Patch-work family.
it went well and I liked the humor and emotional scenes.

but I DROPPED it.
when it comes to longer dramas, i'm usually patient but from episode 10 onward, I thought they are actually stretching the episodes and it could be much more enjoyable if it was a 20 episode series.
I skipped too many scenes in sake of keeping up with the series because I thought the back story for each character was interesting and did worth the watch but i got bored since the love story began too soon but went too slow.

if you are looking for a fluff and family-oriented drama and actually do have a considerable amount of time to spare for this series, watch it otherwise I think you better keep it for when you only wanna kill time .

i hope my review doesn't mislead anyone. I just wrote what I felt because when i started watching this series, it was still ongoing and I've heard many positive comments about this series but found it a tad against my taste in series and dramas.
hope I could help

Typical long run family drama with alot of family problems

Kindly note that I'm writing this while watching the show .

Things I've liked so far- I really enjoyed 1st few eps which beautifully showed Family bond between FL & her father, what a caring and heartwarming fatherly figure he is , he is my favorite character in whole drama who makes this whole drama wholesome . Subsequently Drama showed us problematic families like of ML 's and 2nd ML's . Later, we can all children and their eating meals together, spending time with each other and somewhat living together which is something really nice .
When it comes to the friendship between leads , that's great . It felt really wholesome, heartwarming , refreshing , innocent .

For emotions , Writer showed He Zi Qiu , poor kid who is gentle , caring , thoughtful but had terrible mother who is irresponsible towards him . All of them encountered different kind of pain but what Ziqui experienced was beyond too deep.

For frustrating us , writer showed Ling Xiao's mother who annoys us in all way possible and blames her own kid for something unfortunate , though Ling Xiao's sister is no joke too . I applaud Steven Zhang’s acting skills. He’s so good. It looks so natural when he’s trying to control his tears. I'm not that impressed by other's acting but Steven Zhang’s , he has improved a lot .


To be continued .......

This On-going Drama is Great and very realistic!

I started this drama a few days ago and the story is very captivating. Jianjian, Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu has a very nice story of their youth.I cried and laugh on this drama. I cried so much on the story of Ziqiu when he got adopted of the father of Jianjian and he was working so hard to the family because he owe his life to jianjian's family. Jianjian is kinda selfish when her two brothers left because the her two brothers doesn't have choice but to study abroad. Their relationship grows apart because they are gone for several years but Ling Xiao and He Zique to fix their relationship.
I can't wait for the upcoming episodes. I love the drama.
