family drama that shows blood is thicker than water
This is a good family drama that should be set as a benchmark. I came here mainly for the casts but ended up to find myself emotionally attached to the Qiao siblings. First of all, the casts of this show is top notch - i believe one that watched enough chinese dramas will atleast know Bai Yu and Bai Xiao Tong. To put them together with Wan Yi, Song Zu Er, & Yi Ran the chemistry is amazing. The show started off when they are young when Qi Qi their youngest brother was born till all of them have grown up. The pace and development is great. Each of the Qiao sibling's character shine in their own way & although it makes me frustrated and upset at times, but when they come together it just seems like they got each other's back & everything can be resolved.
Qiao Yi Cheng, the eldest brother - the person that held the greatest responsibility in the family since young because of their useless father. QYC is a character that came off as someone with low self esteem, yet also putting a lot of pressure on himself. What i felt throughout the show was that he didn't share he feelings even to his siblings because he felt like as the big brother he should behave a certain way. I particularly liked his r/s with Ye Xiao Lang his first wife, their conversation with each other is very realistic, and although they seem compatible at some point, it eventually shows that QYC is not as ambitious as YXL and maybe his siblings is something he cannot put down in life. I rooted for him a lot in this show hoping things will go well for him because his life just seem very tiring.
Then we have Er Qiang, the truest to himself out of all Qiao family. Very quiet and reserved guy but will fight for what he wants. He does seem more "lost" in life, but he treats people with a lot of care and respect. I am happy that he never doubted his choices despite the whole world telling him otherwise, which eventually proves that he made the right decision.
To the sisters, I love San Li so much. She is very understanding and polite and seems to be know what is the right thing to do and say. I adore her r/s with Yi Ding & i rooted them throughout the whole show. I love how she shows a different side to her when she was in a r/s and married, a more 'defiant' side that she never shown. Yi Ding and her characters just seems to blend well together. And we have, Si Mei that vainest off all but her only saving grace is that she love her brothers and sisters a lot. Very brave in everything she does. Had a love-hate r/s with her actually, but she eventually grew on me. Also, to the others that made an impact but appear lesser, e.g. Qiqi, Wei Min, the aunt, all of them form a great bond together.
In all, this is a good family drama that is worth watching.. and the script writing is something that is worth paying attention to.
