Great realistic family-focused drama!

Story:
Hats off the the storywriter of this drama. Such a touching and realistic way of portraying the goods, but also not so-goods of life. Really like the different types of dynamics between the lead characters and also how each have their own flaws that are highlighted very well. The ¨evil¨ characters are also not evil for no reason. However, the pacing off some sections of the drama is really off, especially the episodes towards the end is so rushed. I wish they resolved the final problem in prior episodes, so the ending did not feel so rushed. I also did not care about the ¨main romance¨, as i did not feel the romantic chemistry, nor did it attribute anything to the story.

Acting/Cast:
Almost perfect, no one was ¨really bad¨. The actors/actress of the characters ZQ, CT and HC were excellent, with HC(Tu Song Yan) performance being one of the best i have ever seen in a drama. The really lacking actress of the important characters was JJ´ actress. In most scenes she was fine, but in more emotional/intimate scenes, she often looks like a deer in the headlights: just no suitable expressions with just open wide eyes.

Overall:
As the title says, just a solid all around family-focused drama that will make the cry, laugh within the same episode. The chemistry of the main family is amazing and so realistic. I would probably not rewatch this (only would rewatch the episodes prior to time jump), as it does has it notable flaws in the second half. Despite the flaws, every episode ending make me really anticipate the next, as i also watched every episode on release.
