Fun but not deep
This was a cute show and I did have fun watching it, but it is really too rushed to be a huge success. The episodes are 15 minutes (I think) but have a full intro song which is super not needed. Other shows that I’ve seen that have the short episodes have done just a quick like, MAYBE 20 second intro so you don’t feel that’s it’s a waste of time, but with such a short episode having 1 min 20 seconds of intro is just disappointing.Casting for this show was great, I loved all the actors, even the ones who didn’t get as much of a focus. I really enjoyed the characters, even though we didn’t really get much on their backstories or motivations, especially the main couple.
The show just needed to be longer honestly, that would have fixed most of my issues with it. Main couple seemed to fall for each other out of nowhere, especially Lin Xun. Jun Cheng had a few moments of “why is my heart beating so fast” that led up to him confessing his feelings, but Lin Xun I feel like went from not liking him that way in any capacity to suddenly dating him?? It didn’t really click for me.
As for the side couples, I liked them! Jun Dao was pretty toxic at times though, the one scene where he yells at Yang Xiang made me really upset. But the two of them obviously had feelings for each other so after he immediately apologized I was hesitantly back on board. Also YANG XIANG being actually bisexual???? We love to see it and we especially love it when the character explicitly says it. That made me really happy. Jun Ping was also a sweetheart, the first scene of him and Yan Yue was very cute and we could already see that they liked each other.
However, the female character in this show was trash. She literally sexually assaulted Yang Xiang and then tried to put the moves on Jun Ping as well?? This woman is a predator and she should have been left out of the show.
I would love a sequel to this show to expand more on how the characters adjust to being in definitive relationships. Does Jun Cheng go back to Korea? If he does, does Lin Xun go with him? His character says he wants to finish college on time, so do they go long distance instead?? I have so many questions!!

A light short drama worth watching
As I remember I've watched this drama at the end of last year when I finished *some other drama* and was waiting for *another drama* to get episode update. I hope this isn't a big spoiler? so we know there's three sons, this is a Taiwanese drama, and I was like "okay so I'm expecting to hear them speak in Taiwanese" and it was already past midnight for me when I decided to watch it, so...I started watching the drama and when I first heard one of them speaking in Korean I didn't even realized lol, I guess my brain just ignored it, but another sentence and I was confused, I thought my brain was playing tricks on me lol.
So back to the drama, for me this is a short drama worth watching! It doesn't have a DEEP DEEP meaning and a plot, it's a light drama you can watch in one night :) not every BL drama has to be long, nerve-wrecking and college based. Sometimes we don't have to look for a deep meaning in dramas, just can just let ourselves enjoy and not overthink :)
now let me explain my rating, it was a pretty decent drama, but it's not something I can give 10/10 to
That's my opinion on this drama :D

ALL IN THE FAMILY!!!
When I finished the series, my first reaction was: Poor Mr. Yuan, he won’t have any grandchildren. Second reaction: Poor girl, he didn’t get any of the brothers. They don’t like her wares. Haha!What’s memorable in this series is that kiss by the seaside. That was really picturesque.
The actors look good and acted well, too.
On the whole, I like the premise of the series, but in the end I found something lacking – even though the loose ends have been neatly tied up in the finale.
Like – that Evil Second Uncle in Episode 1. What ever happened to that plot line? Why did they put it there in the first place when it wasn’t even pursued? He was just gone from the series after the appearance!
Also, when the henchmen of Evil Second Uncle was running after Eldest Son Yuan, he accidentally bumped into Lin Xun, who turned out to be the “missing son” his father wanted them to find! That’s too much of a coincidence, I think. Does it mean that the Evil Second Uncle and Lin Xun live near each other? Seems contrived, this scene.
Also, why did Youngest Yuan get mad at his bestie when he (bestie) told his sister that he (Youngest Yuan) was a f*ckboy – when he doesn’t even want his bestie’s sister? Obviously, bestie said this to his sister just to get her off Youngest Yuan’s back. That reaction was eyebrow raising to me. Another contrived plot device to reach that “I can’t live without you” line.
I also think the actor who played the Youngest Yuan was miscast. He’s too white for the role. The actor who played his bestie looks more like a Yuan. They should have changed roles.
Little things like those made this series made the series lose points for me. Initially, I thought this will get a 9 or 9.5 from me, but in the end… it got only an 8. Too bad, because it looked so promising at the beginning. If even had the potential to be a perfect 10 BL. But, alas, it was not.

10 episodes is too short
The story is great, the actors did a wonderful job, I liked the music and the plot made me want to know more but of course everything has it's flaws.In the last two episodes I felt it being rushed. Things coming out of no where like, Jun Dao and Yang Xiang making out was kind of random. Jun Ping's and Yue Rong's relationship was a little confusing. Jun Cheng kissed Lin Xun and Lin Xun acted like Jun Cheng never kidnapped him??? Also I would have liked to see when Lin Xun actually started to like Jun Cheng because one moment Lin Xun treats him as someone who annoyes him and in the other when they kissed, he looks like he has been waiting for that to happen.
That's why I wish it were longer, especially when the episodes are less than 20 minutes. 10 episodes aren't enough for such a great story. The ending was nice at least.
I'm not sure this review will help you but I hope it gives you an idea of what to expect.
Have a nice day.

Pequeño, simple y precioso.
A pesar de que la historia terminó siendo mucho menos de lo que esperaba cuando empezó (pensé que sería más dramático, algo como HIStory3: Trapped), lo disfruté mucho. Es gracioso, romántico, un poquito cliché─ pero es disfrutable.En 10 episodios cortitos pudieron mostrarnos cómo se desarrollaron los personajes de la familia Yuan, especialmente el del hermano coreano; Juncheng, y el padre de los tres. Me muy pareció interesante y reconfortante ver cómo terminó todo de una manera tan diferente del principio. La calidad es considerablemente baja (producción e historia), pero los actores realmente te hacen olvidar todo eso lo cual agradezco mucho.
Es un drama cortito para ver en el mismo día si no tenés nada que hacer, es entretenido, gracioso, y tiene un poquito de suspenso como un pequeño detalle. Un drama bastante simple, pero no de baja calidad ni cringe. Muy lindo en verdad.

solo estoy fascinada
Lo bueno es que existe, lo malo es que se acaba.La introducción de los personajes y como los caminos se cruzan me parece muy refrescante y nuevo y me gustó bastante. No hay nada que criticar de ningún aspecto de esta historia. Es buena, es liviana y te hace sonreír. Hubiese sido genial si la hubiesen desarrollado como una full serie, con sus respectivos doce capítulos de una hora cada uno. La química de los actores (sobre todo de la "principal") es bastante grande y se adapta al tipo de historia. Desde el principio quieres saber lo que pasa y no te decepciona al final.
Espero la segunda temporada con muchas ganas.

sempet ke hold-on tapi ...
Series yang satu ini awalnya saya menontonnya dengan "rasa bosan" kemudian saya berhenti, dan menundanya ~ Entah kenapa kemudian saya mencoba menontonnya kembali dan ternyata bL series ini seru!. Menceritakan para anak sultan (pria) bersaudara yang masing-masing menemukan pria yang mereka sukai ; Entah ada yang berasal dari salah sangka keluarga, pembantu rumah tangga dan teman kuliah. Dari segi detail, agak kurang begitu mudah difahami dan membosankan di awal-awal episode, oleh karena itu saya sarankan anda menontonnya dengan fokus minimal sampai episode 2 selesai dan anda akan mulai mengerti mengapa series ini menarik. Dari segi scene menurutku sudah cukup bagus sih ya, walaupun sepertinya series ini memang minimum budget banget, dari karakter yang ditampilkan masing-masing cukup cocok, ada orang korea di series ini dan wajahnya mirip seperti Lee-Mongryong di series Sassy Girl Chunhyang - selain itu ada satu tokoh pria lain yang wajahnya mirip Jerome Polin, kedua hal itu membuatku tidak berhenti senyum-senyum sendiri, chemistry ke"tiga" pasangan ini sangat menggemaskan, ceritanya sebenarnya sederhana - konfliknya memang campur aduk, tapi tidak terlalu rumit, ini adalah salah satu series bL yang mencampur adukkan masalah "keluarga" dengan "bL" dan menurutku ini lumayan menarik. Rekomended untuk ditonton.Was this review helpful to you?

No geral Taiwan não costuma decepcionar no quesito qualidade, e essa série não fugiu aos padrões. Apesar da história ser um pouco surreal, os atores são excelentes, as cenas de luta são bem coreografadas, a ost muito boa e a química entre os casais é ótima. Os três casais se desenvolveram bem, não posso dizer que de forma igualitária, já que existia uma ênfase no casal principal, mas os 3 tiveram desfechos satisfatórios.
Ficaram alguns furos? Sim! Gostaria que fosse mais bem explicada a história entre a mãe e o pai, o que aconteceu no passado, e o desfecho do tio bandido. Também gostaria que fosse menos óbvio que o quarto filho não era legítimo, para deixar uma suspense sobre o romance dele e do suposto irmão, mas fora esses pequenos detalhes a série não decepcionou, eu recomendo! Gostaria que tivesse uma continuação, saber o destino dos personagens após o fim da temporada, mas não creio que vai acontecer (esperança é a última que morre).

La vería de vuelta
Si digo de que se trataba la verdad que estaría mintiendo. Solo me acuerdo que va de tres historias en paralelo de tres hermanos que se enamoran de diferentes personajes pintorescos.Es una linda serie en el sentido de que sirve para el fin que está creada. Su trama es simple (chico rico se enamora de chico pobre), los personajes se van demostrando cariño de manera medio rápida pero acorde con el tiempo que dura la serie y la verdad que me acuerdo del final porque están todos alrededor de una mesa comiendo y siendo ellos mismos, felices.
Ah, y creo que había un quilombo con algo de la familia de los chabones ricos o algo así pero la verdad que mirenla porque les va a gustar y de paso se enteran de como iba eso.
Yo capaz que la re-miré, por lo menos para acordarme los nombres de los personajes lpm.
