Interesting

This drama is on my plan to watch list for a long time . Finally this is released. I am so happy that Chinese dramas are now progressing. First episodes reminds me of The Double.

POSITIVE- The visuals are excellent with colorful costumes . I really liked the cinematography. Chinese dramas are seriously eye candy for you . When I was watching this series I was afraid because the director is from Fox Spirit matchmaker so you know . I have watched the ML's acting before so I know how professional he is . The storyline is also so good . I really like family politics types of dramas. Some characters of this drama are positive. The grandma is such a sweetheart. Although at first I thought this drama is about siblings love but thank God this is not . Both the ML and FL are so handsome and beautiful.


NEGATIVE- I sometimes felf bore in some scenes. The storyline is kinda messy . And the most annoying thing is the FL's voice, I have seen her acting before so I know about it but this time really I am so disappointed by her . Her character is strong and wise but feeling like the actress is not fit in romance dramas. The chemistry between the ML and FL is kinda weak . The actress who played the sister role is professional but the character which she played is annoying.

OVERALL- A average drama . If you are not a picky watcher then you can give it try . But the visuals are really so good . Sometimes you will feel bore also sometimes good .

They are not Blood Sibling in Episode 8

As other asked, "What! Blood brother and sister (same father but different mother) fell in love?" In Episode 8, Shen Yuan found out that Yi Ning mother was kidnapped, raped, and pregnant with Ning. Then her mother was trying to abort her, but unsuccessful. Ning ended up was born pre-immature and has health issue. Then the romance begins to unfold.

At first I want to drop this story because the person who summarized the story inaccurately. It should be revised to make this story more interesting. So far, it has plot, irony, twist and turn, sense of humor, kung fu, etc. This story has everything. It is better than the story of women jealousy over one man and power struggle.

I think her father killed her mother for money (Dowry) since they don't have feeling for each other. In all the Chinese drama, the women give dowry to the groom. That is in India. China, the groom gives dowry to the bride. That is the same as Thailand. I am a Chinese who was born in Thailand and I understand both culture. When I watch many historical Chinese drama, they confuse me sometimes of the real cultures. Maybe the Communism got it wrong because they kill the culture.

Pretty Good Drama

My favorite actors in this drama are the Uncle and "over weight" sister, plus the cute as hell goose. They are the scene stealers every time they show up IMO. I laugh at their antics over to eat or not eat the goose. I wish their was a different FL and this would be a perfect drama. FL's acting has not improved and her monotone and baby talk words are ridiculous to listen to. I truly wish one of the hundreds of actresses that China has, a different one could have been chosen. Oh well, all the other characters are great.

Newest favorite Actor

This is the 3rd drama of Zhang Wan Yi that I have watched. His character in Lost You Forever is my favorite and the sole reason why I was able to finished the first season. Second Drama was Are you the One and I was hooked from the very start. I just wished the story was longer. I developed a routine to watch it every single night. I'm so happy that he is in this drama, I don't have to wait that long to see him act. This is my first time giving a review and i apologize if it is all about ZWY. The story is good so far. There is enough screen time for each character. At first, I was bothered by the Female lead's voice quality but later on I got used to it. It's just that usually for strong and clever character, tone of voice is stable and calm. I know the story is about her but I'm actually more excited inZWY character's revelation. That he is not who they think he is.

DON'T WATCH!!

Idc that they're not actually siblings but this is soo nasty. Like at the beginning yall knew yall were siblings and later found out yall aren't and but yall already develop feeling for each other duing the sibling stage like yuck. I love the actors but why did they have to ruin a good drama into some wired fake sibling now to lover plot. I can't get rid of the thoughts about how they were sibling. If u can get over the fact about it then watch it but it's not my cup of tea.

What the heck is this ?

Looking forward to this drama for ML after watching "are you the one" . Into 2 episodes so far and why the heck is storyline like this ?

ML is the 3rd son and FL is the 7th daughter of the same father ( different mothers) . Cant injest this scenario and expect romance here.

I'll drop this for now and wait for other reviews. Truly disappointed ?
