I definitely didnot know intially that it was a family drama. Xu kai was absolutely outstanding in his acting. He skillfully went from being cold and using Yang zi for his purpose to falling in love with her and giving up evil desires. Xu kai was such a cutie. His smile made the time stop for me. Yang zi as usual amazingly portrayed the role of a daughter. But dragging it for 37 episodes was not really necessary. It overall gives insight about hardships a family especially a mother faces when their children grow up, the constant anger and bickering, the extra consciousness of the mother regarding the society and so on. Just not a romance plot and definitely more than that.
