The Best Family Drama Ever
At the end of 2022, I started to watch this series and then complete it on January 2nd. What a rollercoaster journey. I laugh then cry, happy then mad, joyful and sorrowful. It's like watching real humans grow, with all the goodness and the nasty life can give. The plot is so smooth, unlike other drama that has distinctive arc per arc, this one flow like real life. Battle every day but also heal each other every day. This drama made me cry, but also LAUGHT, like— literally L.O.L.
Another thing that I love is the writers didn't force their moral values. The character speaks for themself, which is rare in Cdrama. Diversity of moral values and way of thinking. Complex character.
Another booster for this drama is the acting and characters, which is flawless. The main characters that all lovable and well act. The father, Li Hai Chao is the best-written father in the entire drama world, perfectly acted too. And He Zi Qiu, the man just made his own movie. Li Jian Jian and Ling Xiao, a sweet couple, some parts of their relationship are quite toxic, but the way they act and the storyline, bring an antidote to them. Tan Song Yun is a chameleon, at this point I'll think she can act as a baby or elderly, haha.
The only thing that is not my style is the OST and camera angle, some times can be awkward, and other times can be top-tier. But never disturb the storyline, so ok. Actually, after this series, I start to watch Meet Yourself, the drama made by the same team of director and writers. Production-wise, it's better. So I conclude maybe it's a budget situation, hehe.
It's quite a heavy story, so maybe I'll not rewatch it fully, but some part is fun to rewatch. In the end, this is my 10/10 base for Cdrama and family drama. I'll follow the writer's and the director's works onward.
