There is something so beautiful about a show in this time and age that solely focuses on brotherhood and what it truly means. When the moment Ji Chuan and Qingfeng met, their dynamics were so different and this is an interesting parallel when compared to Ji Chuan and Yan Dai Fu. The show shows how even with such differing dynamics, Ji Chuan considers both of them as his brothers and lives them both equally.

Storyline wise, it was entertaining but rather convenient, especially how Yan Dai Fu poisons his father with skewers (really, where did it come from?) But then again it is a comedy so it’s to be expected. I found the side pairing of QingQing and Wei Qi to be unnecessary, but I liked that they included it in the show bc it adds to the overall enjoyment of the show. As for Ah Fu and Xiao Lin... they easily have one of the best chemistry between couples I’ve ever seen in a show. The show made me root for them since the beginning even though Qingfeng and Ah Fu had a thing going on.

I especially liked the characterisation of Xiao Lin. He was such an important and essential character to the show. He moved the plot forward while Just being his loveable self and that is truly amazing. I’m happy they kept his character as playful up until the very end (they did manage to trick me into thinking otherwise not gonna lie).

Also, kudos to Song Jiyang for playing the evil stepbrother. I hated and sympathised him at the same time and that’s really down to how scared he was portrayed around his father.
