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!!Was this review helpful to you?
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.

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.Was this review helpful to you?

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.Was this review helpful to you?

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 🤩.Was this review helpful to you?
Touching and relatable
This is one amazing plot. I highly recommend it. I just stumble upon this by chance. This drama is all about family and it conveys to be a family its not necessary to be blood related. Relationships are formed with emotion, care and love. It pulls at your heart strings. Loved all the 3 main characters. Steven Zhang is amazing and so cute. I have never been a Fan of seven tan but she did alright with her sun shine personality in the role. Song Weilong did justice to his broody and neglected traumatic child persona. All three deals with life in different ways. It is pretty good story, it has 40 episodes on viki but it does not feel like it drags or anything. In fact i felt they could have added couple of more.Was this review helpful to you?

A drama that hits deep into your heart and soul.
Go Ahead is one of those dramas whose story line draws you in. The drama itself is heartwarming, familial, and comical mixed with the struggles of reality, dreams and separation.Acting/Cast/Characters: Each of the characters have their own color but the way each of the actors portrayed their character, you really feel their emotions and see everything from their own eyes. For me Ling Xiao's character itself was kind of bland and pitiable, but then the way Song Wei Long, was able to portray that pity in his character must have been no easy feat, so that is very commendable in my opinion. I have to really commend Steven Zhang though, he brought He Ziqiu to life and went over the top with his acting. By far, at least in my opinion He Ziqiu and Steven Zhang made this drama. Also if you hate or dislike a character, you know that the actress/actor is doing their job right!
Music: I am in love with the soundtrack that they used for this drama and each song that was played suited the scene well.
The only complaint I have for this drama was how they didn't show the repairing of the relationship between Ling Xiao's mother and Li JianJian. They could have extended it a little bit to show that part, but they didn't and instead they really rushed it.

Worth watching
This drama is full of emotions, from the very first episode you will find yourself hooked to this drama.The storyline is quiet unique.
My most favourite character in this drama is female lead's father.
I must say actors , director and writer bring the box of every emotion, joy , sadness and love to our screens. What a beautiful drama.
Only thing i don't like is too many episodes. Some characters are bit cringe like male lead's Mother.
For me its a refreshing drama to watch in summer. Highly recommended.

Touching family drama with a bit of romance
Go Ahead is a drama focus on family relationships of the 3 main characters. They suffered losses in their lives and bonded together to form a new family of no blood relations.One little sister and two older brothers help each other heal the losses and love each other like family. This drama will make you laugh, cry and appreciate the meaning of “family”.
Solid acting and good storyline make this one of the best Chinese dramas of 2020.
Seven Tan, Song Wei Long and Steven Zheng have great chemistry, and watching them is truly a joy.

I DID NOT REGRET WATCHING THIS!
I'd like to begin by saying that I highly recommend this drama... When the drama was on air, I had watched a few snippets and I had high expectations from it... I'm not saying that I didn't like it... I very much liked it.. It's a very relatable and heart touching drama...The cast was too good... They have done a spectacular job at portraying every single emotion and character.. The story was pretty good with usual dramatic ups and downs but the drama managed to successfully pull it off.. I dont usually like watching flashbacks or slow intros but I really loved the childhood parts in this.. We need more people like Li Haichao in this world..
The drama had really good potential and I think that it could have been made a little better by eliminating certain parts.. Especially the love triangle between Li Jianjian, Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu... Yes, He Ziqiu was not really in love with her and gave up pretty soon but I still felt that it was completely unnecessary.. I'm a fan of romance, but I think that this drama could have really survived without the romance between the three of them.. And I didn't really feel the chemistry between Li Jianjian and Ling Xiao... The dynamic that the trio had as siblings during their childhood (I know, because of seperation for long duration and all but I'm not talking about that) was kind of lost in the 2nd half of the drama.. And I didn't really understand the relationship aspect between Li Jianjian and Ling Xiao? Like when? How? One minute Li Jian Jian was like, "no, you're my brother" and the next she's like, "you're my boyfriend"? This is the only complaint that I have with this drama... The romance was all over the place.. Everybody's romance was all over the place.. Except Li Haichao and He Mei's relationship... Now, that was adorable... I loved it!
I kind of felt that the ending was a little rushed but I watched the 40 episode version, so idk if there's any difference...
Overall, I'd highly recommend watching it and I had a pleasant time with this drama... The osts made me immediately go on youtube and download them! Do give this a try, you won't regret it.
