Soapy!!!
This show is like Young and Restless meets Bold and Beautiful - Chinese version. This is a soap Opera !!! Que the dramatic songs š© If you are looking for poj or similar, this aināt it. This show is packed with lots of twist and turns and most of all DRAMA!!!! If you are not into messy situations and drama, then donāt watch this . Now for those of you who like a drama with lots of tea šµ, sit back and enjoy!
First let me say, the acting is great. I definitely can not stand Ren Susu. For an actor/actress to invoke an emotion from you like a a strong like or hate, then they are the character they have become. So letās get into the spoilers!!
REN Susu dated Qingyi back in the days and she ends up getting shot and is presumed ādeadā. Qingyi hasnāt let go of his first love who is Susu. Fast forward 3 years later, his brother is getting married and so is he. But guess who his brother is marrying, REN FREAKING Susu, his dead lover. š± yes and from there itās been nothing but drama and more drama. Now I have to give it to qingyi, because it could not have been me. At the engagement ceremony, everyone would have to know about my past with her especially my brother. He would have known that night. Cause what you mean , you marrying my brother?!!𤨠clearly he is still hung up on her and this carries on throughout the show. The moment we think they may get together , then boom she got other plans that donāt include qingyi . Like girl , why are you still around??! Yall itās a lot of unnecessary necessary drama that keeps you frustrated and delusional and other emotions I canāt quite think of now. Please donāt have any expectations of having sensible reasons of why this or that happens because again this is soap opera drama. Nothing need to be understood except MORE DRAMAš«© This is their recipe and Iām here for it. Now what I can say is that I felt like they should of at least draw us into the backstory of ren susu and qingyi before they hit us with the return of dead susu . That way we would of been fond of their relationship and hoping for them to get together. Right now, I wish she would disappear and I canāt stand how so devoted qingyi is to her and he neglect his own feelings and life for her. While she disregards his without batting an eye š Like if I could snatch her a** up in the tv, I would of done it since 1st episode. Now mind you mid-way, qingyi and susu , end up going to one of their special place that only the two of them know about, and this is after she is being chased and wanted. They end up spending the night together and get this, she gets pregnant. Mind you, she donāt know it yet but she still insists on marrying his brotherš© after smashingš©
I canāt spoil too much, because then there would be no point in watching the show. His older brother , is one of the only one out of the family that is redeemable and the other brother who was accidentally switched with qingyi. His mom and sister, can kick rocks.
So to sum it up, if you like soap opera and drama filled episodes, then join the clan. Itās a nice change of pace . Think of it as a palate cleanser after eating good sushi. This show is suppose to keep you on your toes with lots of angst and frustration. If that was their angle, then baby they deliveredš¤. If Iām grading it on that level, the show is 9/10. Itās better production than days of our lives. But overall Iāll give it a 8. Yall lost that point because of Susu. I want to smack the š© out of her. Hope this help some of you Zhang Linghe fans understand the assignment in this show and see his performance differently here. You can tell that he has come a long way from his previous performances. He captures Qingyi character beautifully in this drama. And Wang Churan as Susu is such a great actress. I think she is starting to become my favorite. I canāt wait to see more of her work.
