A rollercoaster of emotions that's both fun and bewildering.

"Sunshine by My Side" takes us on a rollercoaster ride through the highs of Xiao Zhan's stellar performance and the lows of a plot that seems to have lost its GPS along the way.

First off, let's talk about Xiao Zhan, the shining star in this constellation of characters. His charisma lights up the screen, making you forgive a multitude of sins in the script. Seriously, he's like the Beyoncé of this drama – you're just happy to be in the same room.

Now, enter the lead female character, a breath of fresh air with her 'take-no-prisoners' attitude towards life. However, when it comes to chemistry with Xiao Zhan, it's like watching two parallel universes trying to intersect but ending up on separate orbits. Maybe the writers misplaced their romantic compass somewhere around episode 10?

Then, we've got Pan Rou and Song Chen – characters who pull a 180-degree turn from 'meh' to 'aww' as the drama unfolds. It's almost like watching your least favorite sitcom character suddenly hit a character development jackpot.

Hold on tight, though, because the annoying sister character barrels into the scene like a hurricane. Her mission? Force her sister into a relationship with a professor, and you're left scratching your head, wondering if you accidentally switched to a romantic comedy you didn't sign up for.

Haojun, the cute sidekick, adds some sweet moments, but his storyline with the sister feels like a detour down a dead-end alley. You start wondering if the scriptwriters needed a GPS themselves.

And then there's the mother character – part emotional manipulator, part enigma. While not everyone's cup of tea, she's the spice that keeps you sipping even when you're not sure about the flavor.

"Sunshine by My Side" is like a messy potluck dinner – a mix of delightful surprises (Xiao Zhan's brilliance) and questionable dishes (the sister's plot). Despite the flaws, it's a quirky, unpredictable ride that'll make you appreciate the buffet of emotions it serves up, even if you're left wondering why certain dishes made it to the table. It's the kind of drama that makes you laugh, scratch your head, and ponder the mysteries of life – all in one sitting.
