Adorable & Naughty Father-Son Relationship. + Full of Cute & Interesting Character Interactions~!!
Where do people even get the hate for this drama to start with?...
Reading through reactions and commentaries can really be interesting before starting a drama. Yes, it may provide spoilers/teasers but it also encourages me to watch the drama to prove it wrong and to make counter argument about it. Well... Most of the time it works but I guess not this time?
At first, I was so curious about the hate the FL's getting from some of the reviews I've red but after completing the drama, I just understand it wholeheartedly and can't disagree about all the hate and disappointments they have for the FL. The FL as a Mother just felt too impulsive and proud to the point where I find it really irritating. It does improve gradually though, just make sure to keep an open mind about her character and soon enough you'll probably realize that her character was simply written that way for a reason.
Another thing is the unnecessary and unused characters. I mean, I understand that stories need some background characters to support the entire context but the supposed 'Support Characters' just felt so unused and was only kept there as display to make the drama look good in some ways.
Also, I just wanna highlight how the final 2 episode felt so rushed and squished in. They could've removed or even shorten lots of irrelevant scenes to make the important ones more detailed but they just did not and that's the biggest dissatisfaction I have for this piece I must say. There was even a point where I asked myself "Why?~!! Why the hell did they do it like this? Like it was compressed just to include every single thing before they finally end it?"... That was really frustrating for me, thank god it still ended decently.
In contrary of my commentary so far. I would like to change it a little bit by praising how the drama stowed away from the super cliché and unbearable plot twist by keeping the ridiculousness below minimum and keeping the spark going without ruining the whole story. I guess the 'one thing' that made me satisfied about this drama is that they kept its original flow and didn't attempt to add anything unfamiliar that may ruin the story itself.
In conclusion, this drama's still good and I must say 'far' from the bad reviews people gave it so far. Anyone should give it a watch and have fun.
Story - 9.0, Overall story is decent. It may not be exemplery but it is really good considering how they managed to keep it going without ruining anything. Just watch out for some tasteless scenes that are usually present in any dramas.
Acting/Cast - 9.5, Acting wise, I guess It's beyond average? specially with Main Leads and Main Supporting roles. But I must admit that some of the Minor Supporting Actors felt lacking with their acting and some just lack lines and true purposes. P.S. I must agree that any drama with Liu Xue Yi in it is always Good~!!
Music - 9.5, Music are decent. Honestly, the website I watched this drama in muted some of the scenes so I wasn't really able to fully appreciate the music. But so far with the BGMs inserts I've heard, most of them fits the scenes and doesn't really felt off in anyway.
Rewatch Value - 9.0, It was Fine. Nothing rewatcheable about it in particular but I guess some viewers may find it differently compared to how I originally feel about this.
Overall - 9.0, In consideration of how they wrapped and concluded this drama, I feel like this rating is very reasonable already. It didn't highly satisfy me but it didn't disappoint me neither. It was a fine drama that has decent storytelling and good acting. I would still recommend it, specially to Liu Xue Yi's fans.
