Definitely worth your time!
One of my favourite dramas this year. Because of the pandemic, I've watched so many dramas this year, both Korean and Chinese. So many I couldn't get past the first 3 eps... This is a quality Chinese drama, apart from those childish lovey romance dramas that China has been producing so many recently. Story, script and characters are well-written. Very relatable and realistic. The mood and the direction of this drama is great, very classy yet heartwarming when needed. All 3 female leads acted very well. Especially loved the girl friendships between the 3 ladies. Definitely worth your time!Was this review helpful to you?
I saw some clips on my social media and I cringed when I saw how gay the scenes looked. I’ve never watched any dramas on BL and I don’t know this anime nor Xiao Zhan or Wang Yi Bo. The first few eps were bad becos I had totally no idea what was happening and this is a new genre to me. I seriously thought of dropping it. But I forced myself to sit thru. But no doubt the first interaction of LWJ n WWX with the sword fighting on the roof attracted me. I tot they felt really good together and it was beautiful. Still I hated the other characters. I thought they looked quite ugly haha (esp some of e guys with way too much makeup). So all that kept me going was watching the pair together, the way they looked at each other omg omg omg. Still the story was slow and boring even!. I think the story and momentum only picked up for me (around ep 20) after WWX went to the other side, where he came back playing the flute. OMG. Then from then on I was glued. Then the story got better and better and the last few eps were so good. The ending was good, finishing the story nicely. I hate shows where it starts off well only to end up with a rushed n crappy ending. But now that I’ve finished watching the show I felt so empty n wanting more. SO I REWATCHED IT.
Also I have to say the music is very very nice. Love the instrumental pieces. Love the ending theme by the two guys the first time I heard it. Which led me to know that Xiao Zhan actually is a singer (haha!) my new love now :p

A bunch of strangers who were brought together to become of the most loving family.
Excellent cast, script and production. One of the best Chinese dramas this year. A drama that teaches one to reflect on the concept of family and family love. Character development is very well written, how each of the 3 siblings backgrounds, childhood experiences and parents moulded how they became as adults.. The child actors were awesome and I was drawn deeply from the start. I was afraid the adult actors would ruin the show later but no, they continued to shine in their roles, bringing each character further. The female lead character Li Jian Jian, played by the child actress and then Seven Tan, was awesome. She's such a joy to watch. There isn't really a bad person in the show, other than the mother who was so annoying. Even the side characters are pretty strong and great to watch. I shall not reveal too much. If you've got some time for a feel good family drama, you should watch this!Was this review helpful to you?
