SO Good, Lots of Ups and Downs and Tears
This show was so good, it had me crying, angry, happy, blushing, and frustrated. The chemistry of the two couples was absolutely amazing, and I wish we can see more of each pair in the future.
This series felt so real to me. No character was perfect, and everyone had their flaws (except Qin Lang). Every character had to make hard choices that they had to live with and suffere the consequences of them. Lu Feng and Xiao Chen had such a long, sad, and complicated story. it showed how no romantic love is perfect and the sometimes other types of love (familial, brotherly) can cause harm instead of being a caring support. Both of them had horrible parents who only saw themselves and basically shamed their children until their dying breath.
Each character had their wrongs. Yi Chen fought for his brother and against Lu Feng with the right intentions, but he didn’t always see was Xiao Chen wanted or how much Lu Fend changed and was sorry for what happened. Yi Chen loves his older brother so much that he did what he thought was best. Xiao Chen had to make impossible decisions that no one should have to make or be in the position to make. Having to chose between his family’s love and Lu Feng, have to choose to fulfill his mother’s dying demand. No matter how horrible she was, Xiao Chen loved her and wanted to make her happy. In that moment his love for his mother won against Lu Feng, but his love for Lu Feng would eventually prevail. Qin Lang’s love for Yi Chen made him compliant and submissive to Yi Chen’s anger and dislike towards Lu Feng, which only ended up hurting everyone more, but he also did what he thought was best, letting his love lead his way. Lu Feng, no matter how much of a black or red flag he was suffered as much or just as much as Xiao Chen. Lu Feng loved Xiao Chen more than anything in the world, more than his career, his future, his father, his sister, and his family, and more than any obstacle that was in their way. Lu Feng always knew what he wanted, a whole life with the love of his life, but Xiao Chen, who did also want that, sometimes had to choose his love for something else over Lu Feng, making them both suffer. Xiao Chen wasn’t wrong for his choice, but they both lived with the consequences of their choices and eventually chose to forgive each other and get the help they needed to repair their trauma, love each other, and learn how to be in a relationship again, given their harsh and traumatic past.
NO character (of the main 4) was right or wrong in every decision they made, but they all did it because of love. Love made them all crazy for a decade, but love is also the reason they all healed in the end. This was a beautiful story, however traumatic and painful, it showed how love hurts, but prevails.
I wil miss watching them every Saturday :(
