Why From A Woman's PIV?
It actually makes all the males seem petty and old fashioned except Rose's dad. As I suddenly realized this, I felt sure the author was a woman. Yep, it is so. I love the story, but now I am even mad at Rose's brother. Rose's husband's mother was also written from a DIL POV. I think if the author had stepped back some, the story could have been stellar. I still have 14 episodes to go, and I am praying it quits being so one-sided. The early 2000's did not have the same male chauvinism as it did in the 1960's to 1970's. Surely China is not 20 to 40 years behind the times on women's roles in the family or their value to a family. But in any case, I love this drama and will gladly finish watching the 40 episodes.Added note: Lin Geng Xin is one of my faves. He is so convincing as a MCP that if he didn't have Shen Li drama under his belt, I would never watch him again. LOL, he is a great actor.

I do not hate on any actor or actress.]Having watched the gorgeous LYF in other wonderful dramas like "Dream of Splendor" and "Meet Yourself", I was looking forward to watching "The Story of Rose".
I found the first few episodes fun and entertaining. LYF was lovely.
However, how she destroyed her boyfriend's home was, to me, unreasonable and "cray-cray". I felt that her actions were uncalled for. Yes, I can empathise with her emotions then but they could have behaved more sensibly and maturely. They could have communicated more calmly and in a better manner.
Thereafter, I felt torn between continuing and not continuing...
In the end, I decided to drop it and watch something else. I know that the actors and actresses in this drama are fine ones and I am pretty sure the show is, in general, all right... but episodes 8 to 10 (there-ish) were "the straw that broke the camel's back".

Not quite that for me
I dropped off. I love LYF a lot, but I didn’t find the storyline engaging. After 10 episodes I didn’t connect with a single character, and couldn’t care less about them. They all are played very well, so the issue for me was the writing. FL character doesn’t really develop much, and I couldn’t find everyone’s enticement with her beauty believable.The cinematography, music and actors work are superb though.

Interessante
Geralmente não assisto dramas da china, acho as protagonistas em sua maioria muito chatinhas e logo me sinto entediada. Decidi dar uma chance para esse drama , e que bom que comecei assistir, não apenas a protagonista é interessante como toda a história e os personagens.O drama não se trata daqueles romances bobos cheios de cliches, pelo ao contrário aqui o romance é nos mostrado como ele realmente pode acontecer com qualquer um de nós, retrada a vida e seus tropeços e acertos que levamos.
Aprotagonista erra tentando acertar como qualquer um de nós e isso me conquistou afinal somos apenas mortais cheios de imperfeições tentando ser feliz.
O roteiro, figurino, elenco,história, dialógos são ótimos e tem sincronia entre si, e isso é bom.
A musica é linda principalmente a do final, eu assisti aos encerramentos de todos os episódios apenas para conteplar a musica, ela é simplesmente perfeita, unica.
Se você procura um drama maduro,adulto eu aconselho que assista esse drama, vale muito gastar seu tempo assistindo ele.
