Hand in Hand (2021)

Story:
This is a slice of life story of four families trying to get a good education for their children since such a young age (I can't believe that they have to fight so hard just to get into a good primary school when the kid is still in kindergarten)! The story is quite okay for me and it's interesting to know how the education system works over there. It's also interesting to see the four families from different social and economic backgrounds and how each has their own issues and problems to deal with.

Music:
I like the ending theme by Ayanga. Unfortunately I watched this on the YouTube channel where they just silence the music :(

Acting:
The acting of the children I thought was pretty good.

Rewatch Value:
None for me. I don't want to go through the angst of daily life problems that are presented in this drama. Once is enough for me :)

Overall:
I think this is a pretty good drama. However, if you're not into melodrama, maybe i would recommend you skip this one

Very nice dramatic, emotional, disturbing, organized and well-thinking stories in various directions of parents, child rearing, kindergarten and business.

Liu Tao alias Su Xing did her role very excellently. She is a real compassionate, organizing and well-thinking person who knows how to help those mothers who get into such situations or have to suffer.
Ying He alias Lin Yun Yun, made her role very convincing, which can cope with a lot of effort as a mother, housewife and kindergarten director in everyday life.
Tao Xin Ran as Shen Xiao Yan did not have an easy and yet very good role to portray as a simple employee and mother of a son. She has a hard time having to do two different jobs to be able to pay for the kindergarten services.
Li Xin Yi alias Zi Ning showed her excellent role as a teenager and daughter of Hu Ke alias He Jing Hua thanks to her promising acting experiences, although she has not been in this profession for long. It's nice that all mothers are good friends and help each other with problems...

Calvin Li alias Gu Ja Wei did his role as a very neat, impulsive and exocentric lawyer, husband and father very well, but what he plays in this character, I feel much too bad... Despite his acting experience, he would not have let his facial features and remarks be noticed... As well as in the marriage with Ying Er alias Lin Yun Yun crisis is very close. All according to strict rules, rituals and education to the daughter Co Co Chen alias Gu Lin Xin Yue.

The other actors I give good points 10 thanks to his good performances... especially Liu Gian Lie alias Xi Bin and Jia Jing Hui alias Jiang Bo.
