I'm the girl of k-dramas, so you don't see a lot of other dramas here on my profile, but I saw a lot of posts about "Go ahead" and this made me very curious about the show. I have to say that I do not regret it at all. What a drama!
I was very excited about the first episodes, and this was kept until episode 20. The plot was full of twists and emotional stuff, but I felt that in the middle of the process the things started to get a little slow. I took a little time to finished this mostly because I was watching with a friend, but also because I wasn't so motivated to go on sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I really love the story and the most of the characters, but I think I was on a path with many crazy and different dramas, so a regular story didn't catch so strongly. That said, I thought this drama very strong and deep, and I cried a lot with the pain in the character's life. I could see a lot of my struggles with my parents being approaching in the show and this was very intense. The message about family bonds just can make you melt with just a few episodes.
About the actors and characters, as I said on my first impressions, Li Jian Jian (Seven Tan) still is my favorite here. The character of Li Jian Jian was the soul of this drama, no doubt about it. She was so intense and soft at the same time, and Seven Tan's performance was just amazing. He Zi Qiu (Steven Zhang) also captivate my heart. He was so troubled with the issues in his life and we could see everything in his eyes and attitudes. But about Ling Xiao (Song Wei Long) I have to say that I wasn't a fan at all. I know his personality was shy and more introspective than the other brothers, but I thought him a little tasteless sometimes. His expressions and lines aren't my favorites and I thought some actions a little forced too. I understand the concept of the character (the mental health and stuff), but I think that this could be more explored in the performance. I could understand the growing romance between him and her, but I couldn't feel this in the process. I don't know if I'm being clear, but my feelings about it are a little confusing for me too. The plot of the secondary characters also was very emotional, and I could feel a lot of things with them. I just thought that the problems that endure during all the drama just was solved too fast at the end. Maybe the most critical part here was the pace of the show.
In general, I really love the drama. The story it's very different than usual and makes you think a lot about your life and choices. I just think that if they made fewer episodes, the process would be better for keeping the audience. I will put this one as "amazing" (★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★) because it was pretty amazing for me, besides these topics that I mentioned. If you are looking for something strong and deep, but that also can make you laugh and sigh, this is your show!
