Such an underrated drama, hoping for subtitles to make it more accessible
STORY: A story centered around two divorced, middle-aged adults (Zhou Xun, Huang Lei) with teenage kids who are in a relationship. The plot expands to the relationships of their siblings, family members, and children. There are explorations of parent-to-child relationships, economic stress, relationships between co-parents, adult romance, teenage romance, and more.EXECUTION: The main couple starts out together with other characters following suit. The casting is really great with many well-known and experienced actors. The chemistry between all the leads is awesome and allows for comical, emotional, and perfectly executed relationships. Music flows well with what's on-screen.
OVERALL: The series is quite long but I haven't been bored once. The complex family dynamics and individual opinions of each character play together really well and are never too complicated to follow. I understand that the series hasn't been dubbed yet which makes this quite inaccessible but I hope more is dubbed soon!

Wish there was one with English subtitles
I watched A Little Reunion and really liked that one. So when I heard about this drama and that it's in the same series as A Little Reunion, I was looking for where I can watch this drama. Found it on dramacool, but only the first 8 (or 10?) episodes are subs. I can understand quite a bit, but not enough to fully understand and enjoy the drama. Even with my minimum understanding, I thought the drama is good. It's a good family drama with issues and characters that we can relate and the acting of the two main characters are great. I would probably re-watch if there is one with proper English subs on one of the streaming apps.Was this review helpful to you?
