Finally finished took me like 3 months but the last bit i marathoned. This is a great story about a very strict mother and a down to earth father and a child caught between the two extremes. Each one played their part well including the two kids qian qian and du niyo. The brother bi ran is actually good looking and his crying scenes are just funny, he makes really sad faces and he cries with is nose running. tang lin joins and she is the evil ex who will do anything to get the guy and we get so frustrated with the guy for being weak and the girl for just being aggressive. Sheng nan and her dad are just two crazy controlling loud father and daughter,. Anyways great show
Oh god i just love Zhao Wei. If i have to choose one actor/actress in the entire world it would be her. She's like my role model so i'm bias to all her works. But i would say that this one is a great family drama and it really hits home for me. It really reminds me of my own family where EVERYONE meddles about the private lives of another. What I love about C-dramas is definitely their ability to warm up your hearts, slowly but surely. It's the kind of drama that you can watch while you're doing assignments or doing any daily activities. There's also a realistic appeal to it which I always look for in a drama. It also gives a refreshing perspective on Chinese tough education in comparison to the west. I also like how it teaches me about finding the balance of ambition and just simply having a good life. Sometimes constantly trying to be on the top is so exhausting and it requires certain sacrifices.
I also like Tong Dawei, even though his character is soooo confused?? and not assertive AT ALL. With this kind of character sometimes you just want to scream. But in a weird way, I do like his relationship with Vicki here and it ends well. He has redeeming qualities and Vicki's character is flawed also which definitely adds realism to the drama.
