No matter what life may offer us, may we shine as bright as stars!✨
So Road to success isn’t a typical idol drama with flowery youth journeys, unlimited romance and endless heart flattering moments. It’s a type of drama which isn’t entirely fixated on one person’s story, rather everyone’s story intertwines which makes it the perfect healing drama.
My greatest take from the drama is how most of the storyline is relatable to the day to day lives we are currently living. Road to success shows how many people are living lives which they never anticipated to because societal norms and standards. It shows how so many people have let go of their dreams or even dared not to have great dreams because of the toxic environment they find themselves in. It shows how the smallest support can transform one’s life for the best while what may seem to be the smallest obstacle may shatter one’s life.
As you watch Road to success just know that you aren’t signing up for a full blown romantic drama. Despite the leads having great chemistry and quite a number of heart fluttering moments, romance is just a subplot of the drama. On the other hand the leads show us how deep love can run in the little moments. All their actions towards each other, despite their magnitude are done wholeheartedly, in a well articulated, meaningful, and heartwarming manner! The fair share of romantic scenes are quite remarkable as they highlight how when actions truly speak louder than words something amazing blooms!
You will totally enjoy this drama if you are sport fanatic. The cherry on top is how the soccer is combined with psychological growth of the team members. There’s never a dull moment whenever the team appears on the screen! The tear jerking moments leave a deep impression on your heart while the comedy will offer the best light hearted moments!
One of the main highlights of the drama is: from the moment the team of 11 boys, Lin Wanxing and Wang Fa joined hands, you could sense the “family” atmosphere. From the moment they decided to form an alliance, they never moved like individuals but as one, as a family with deep rooted love and care towards each other! On that note, do listen to Silent gravity by Dong Xiang Lin which made all Lin Wanxing and Wang Fa’s romantic scenes ten times better!!!🥹🥰
Ohh the actors, actresses and their respective characters were a cherry on top. From the 11 boys, leads, leads’ friends, toxic parents to Wang Fa’s family, everyone fit their roles like a hand in glove! By the way, l am Wang Gen Fa’s biggest fan!😂
The greatest highlight of this drama is how it tackles the psychological issues a majority of people are dealing with in one at or another with just varying levels. Of course one drama can’t solve all of society’s problems but it’s quite refreshing seeing issues of suicide prevention, mental health awareness and cyber bullying awareness being handled being addressed. There are so many life nuggets to take from Road to success, l will leave the most memorable ones below and leave you to find the rest in the drama:
1. Life is about having the lasting willpower needed to keep climbing towards the peak.
2. The greatest pain is not gritting your teeth after falling off a cliff, but facing yourself and making the choice that stays true to your conscience.
3. Real life is bitter and painful so it’s okay to run away but always have free will and independent minds!
4. Learn how to live and come to terms with yourselves, discover what you love, and have the courage to pursue it!
5. May you have the will power to fight against the timid side of human nature, live with courage and always have the strength to seek understanding even in moments of despair.
6. Don’t be harsh on yourself, being alive itself is meaningful enough!
7. MAY YOU BE ABLE TO BECOME THE PERSON YOU ASPIRE TO BE, FIND YOUR LIGHT!
