Deep, Intense and Heartfelt

I postponed watching this series several times because I just didn’t know what to expect however I am really glad that I watched it. It was so sweet and heartfelt. I must admit that the writers did an amazing job revealing so much depth and character growth in those 32 episodes. If you watch it on Netflix it’s 16 episodes because they show a full hour instead of a 35 minutes. I just feel that the series was a welcomed refresher. It really displayed how relationships grow and stem from the smallest of things but it also reveals how some people stay in relationships not because of love but because of familiarity or consistency. I love the family dynamic in this series I love the sister bond in their relationship and commitment to support and love each other. I really really enjoyed it and if I could change one thing about this series I would change the ending just a little bit. When you finish watching the series you’ll have a really warm and pleasant feeling because you know that “hey everything is great.” I enjoyed it. I also want to point out that the chemistry between the two leads was absolutely amazing, the acting was amazing, the display of love and devotion among the mother and the daughters was truly awesome. Overall it is so worth the watch.

Not sure about this one

Dear goodness,
I’ve never struggled so hard to watch a series. No lie. Episode one was not that intriguing but I was interested in the plot so I kept watching. By the end of episode 2, I was already getting this melancholy vibe from the FL. They play the sad music when she was talking or thinking. He didn’t smile much. I could just sense she was the pitiful character. ML was okay but it’s just something not right with this one at least up to episode 5. It was a bit cringe. Like a kid story or something. I’m sure there’s more but it’s definitely one that has to be watched in segments otherwise you’ll be disappointed.

Vibe: This is most definitely a slow burner. I saw the female lead smile genuinely in present tense for the first time in episode 12. That being said you should know by that expression that this is it a sweet and loving fairytale. This is a female that is borderline depressing. I have yet to see any upbeat or genuine heartfelt moments. I also find it somewhat confusing so far. The series starts off with or female lead returning home after being away for many years. She has a very sharp chip on her shoulder and snaps at almost everyone except 1 person. Mood of a total slow melodrama.

The writers have revealed a glimpse of a major issue that happened before the female lead left home and I must admit that it has somewhat altered my feelings toward one of the male leads., not a pleasant one. The writers revealed a glimpse in the past where our male lead was aggressive towards the female lead. Of course this happens early on and in the past however when our female he reentered the scene he is a sweet loving person. I on the other hand I have a hard time saying oh I like him after witnessing it.

Music: I will say in all truth that I normally don’t pay attention to the music or sound effects during most shows however I noticed it during the series. Due to the nature of this series and the events that are taking place I found that the music that was playing during certain scenes just did not fit. Our two leads are having a conversation. The facial expression of our female lead is one of indifference with a touch of sadness. The music that was playing during her talking was bubbly if not Corky tones that often went along with something funny that happened or something slightly humorous. It was strange and just felt really out of place.

If I can describe this series in one word, it would be “messy.” Yes, I’m aware that family dramas are long and sometimes slow paced, I am accustomed to it, and I often find it enjoyable because it it really gives a good build up however, this one is different. From misunderstandings to missed opportunities to missing families this one has it all. It took most of the things that annoy people the most, and put it all into a series. For example, two people who are looking for each other would casually walk near each other, and for longevity and entertainment purposes, the writers, would have them see something shiny and look away at the exact moment they could look up and see each other. It happened so many times that it was just ridiculous.


Spoiler Below******
The reason that I called it, Messy, was because of the situation itself in truth it is a reflection of the synopsis, but when you watch episode one and two, you will begin to see why they mention relationship with an issue. This is why I said it was messy. The writers essentially connected to families to each other by parents and siblings, intermixed relationship and threw in one variable that would make the situation even more messy. To sound this up husband and wife divorce and they have two children. The wife later remarries a man that has a child and they have another. Years later , the ex husband’s stepdaughter and ex wife stepson fallin love. So to clarify, the step daughter is not biologically connected to her step siblings, but the stepson is biologically connected to the half-sister he got from his stepmother. This is the type of method that I’m talking about and to make it a story, so weird I don’t care how they dress this up, it’s just not good. If that wasn’t exciting enough for the writers, they threw in more crazy stuff. And then I’m sure everyone will live happily ever after. What I do you like about the series is that the acting is good, the love was portrayed really well, but it was just not enough to keep me fully invested Due to the strangeness over all of it ?

It’s a big yes!

It’s official. I’ll definitely watch again. The story is so unique and the acting is great. The chemistry between the leads is definitely 🔥🔥. The build up, communication, relationship and showmanship were amazing.

The series revolves around more than just the leads but their community. When I say community I mean the people that share their common interest. What I enjoyed about the series is that it shows how friends can become family after spending so much time together. They all appear to be able to celebrate each other successes whether they were from the same club or not, and that to me spoke volumes. It was played in such a way that was very heartfelt and encouraging.

The relationship of the leads felt pure, genuine and swoon worthy. It just felt right.

I didn’t find one boring episode. The male need really knows how to intensify his expression and gazes.the supporting cast were all the best. No one fell short.

In summary you’ll get sweet romance, slight drama, good billiards scenes, heartfelt moments, laughter and more. Definitely a good one.

This series is definitely not for everyone, me included. It revolves around females neighbor that develop a deep bond of friendship. They face struggles, love and other issues along the way. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get past episode 10. It was a bit slow and uneventful. I did skip to the final 2 episodes to see how it would end. It didn’t seem complete either. I definitely think some may get a good laugh but I’m not at all entertained by naive/ ridiculously gullible characters, neither can I get drawn in by meddling rude ones although the writers portray them as free spirits. If you’re in for a movie night shows with the girls this one is kind of entertaining. I absolutely could not like this series but I seriously tried.

OK I was not expecting this. I have watched so many Tye or Taiwanese films and to be honest most of them are so so but this one is really good. It does have a somewhat slow pace to it but it’s is the fitting for the type of film that it is. It is a romantic drama and it has some humorous aspects to it but most of it is very soft and useful. The series revolves around a woman who is telling the story of her mothers first love. It also goes into her current situation. So you will get an opportunity to see her mothers past versus her current situation. The casted an amazing job. The acting was great the chemistry was great. The wardrobe was great. The backdrop the scenery everything was great. What I like most about this is that they pulled this stories together smoothly. No crazy in-laws, psycho ex or plotting. There were sad and sweet moments but it was good. I felt so genuine. Loved it. One of the best tawainese dramas I have ever watched. Seriously.

Overall the series was amazing. ❤️. The ending was perfect. Tears and happiness overload. The beginning was sweet.

My review thoughout the series:
Ep 1-20 The series was not what I was expecting. Although I read many comments about not comparing this shows to 10 miles of peach blossoms, I still managed to do it. I absolutely agree with their comment. Initially it somehow feels like a spinoff but it’s really not. Some of the characters are the same from the other series and it is somewhat related to the same tribes but if you try to connect them you’ll be lost.

Episode 1-20 was upbeat and witty. It was OK. I absolutely love the fight scenes and the dialogue between the male cast members. It was really funny and entertaining to watch. On another note I really am having a hard time enjoying the FL character in the series. Her character is just as immature as always was and she still manages to do things that ends up complicating everything. However her actions have the consequences that lead to a good series.

20-56
So much has happened. It got better and better. Our female lead matures a bit and our male lead continues to shine as well. I love the plot twist and how the worlds somewhat come together. The ending was perfect. I enjoyed having an inside look into our male leads life. His personality was on point and the acting ?. After watching it through to the end I’m glad I watched it all. Raised it in the stars. Cuteness overload for sure. ???. Big changes, mega feels and more. Wow.

Beware of the annoying FL

This was hard to watch for me. It has one of things I hate the most: the overly self righteous female. Dear goodness, from episode one, she was judgmental, argumentative, a slanderer and more. It’s like watching a citizen patrol correct someone without having a clue. Make an assumption and just start accusing and blaming without evidence. I can’t say that the FL acting was bad, it was most likely how her character was written. Just watching her was annoying and exhausting.

An example: a person gets hit by a car, the the character of our FL would run up to the scene, see the person on the ground and sees the male lead standing near a car. Because he was driving a car, it was probably him and probably his fault. She would then shout “it was him, don’t let him get away.” Poor guy could have just stopped to help but now branded a criminal. Those types of assumptions are made here.

To make it worse we have the cliche’ elements too.


What I do like about the series is that the families treat each other well. You can feel the warmth.

This was my seance attempt to watch this drama. I decided to try again. I struggled to get to episode 11 and could not go any further. I was unable to identify a plot. I was unable to find a character that I could connect with or empathize with or even like. It was very slow and the episodes seem to last an eternity. There is no upbeat moments at all in this but I have seen. I can say that it touches on sensitive topics such as abortion, homosexuality, divorce and blended families. Although all of those aspects were intertwined in it, I still found it dull and absolutely boring. They had amazing cast and many of them were handsome but that couldn’t fix this for me. I am a fan of family dramas but this one was like watching fish swimming around in a pond.

Just sort of okay

Episode 1 was good. I thought it was interesting and felt that the story line was captivating enough. I even had a little laugh. Episode 2 started out okay but then I was thinking, what’s the point here, what in the world is actually going on. Episode 3 had me confused and doubting whether or not I wanted to continue. The events seemed somewhat random, I had no idea who the male lead is and even though I knew why things happened in episode 1, there seemed to be no hint as to why anyone was doing anything.

It picks up again around episode six but I feel that it also becomes a bit repetitive. Bad things happen, the blame the supposed bad guy without hearing, seeing or knowing a thing. The interaction between the leads got a littler better around episode 20 however our leading lady somewhat continues to be a bit difficult. Around episode 32 there was some growth on her character from 33 to 36. I really enjoy those episodes.
