Realistic Storyline~
•PLOT•
This drama, Go Ahead narrates the story of three youths who are not actually siblings but have a better bonding than real siblings. Ling Xiao (Song Wei Long) is the eldest of the three, who lives in the apartment above Li Jianjian's (Tan Song Yun). He Ziqui(Steven Zhang) is the middle child, a foster child, whose mother almost married Li Jianjian's father. Li Jianjian is the youngest who lives with her father. Her mother died when Li Jianjian was four. While both the brothers are quite matured, Li Jianjian has a cheerful spirit and is kind of naughty. Ling Xiao's mom left him with his dad. He grew up living with Li Jianjian and her father. He Ziqui's also left him with Li Jianjian's father, saying that she will not be able to take care of him.
The three grow up together, supporting each other, comforting each other, facing hurdles together and most importantly understanding each other. They have got two amazing dads to look after them (Ling Xiao's father and Li Jianjian's father). They were living a happy life when suddenly one day, Ling Xiao's mother shows up with a girl who she claims to be Ling Xiao's younger sister, a sister she has given birth to by marrying a rich man in Singapore. His mom apologies. She and Ling Xiao's new younger sister cause trouble for all. However, Ling Xiao doesn't accepts her mother's apology nor the new younger sister, he is forced to take care of them. Once they return to Singapore, the happiness returns. Then fine day, He Ziqui's real father (his mom divorced his real father) comes to him and wants Ziqui to go with him to Britain and study there. He Ziqui firmly denies but when, his father goes hurting Li Jianjian and both their dads, he decides to obey him. Here, Ling Xiao's mom gets into an accident and gets severely palarized. Ling Xiao is pressurized to go to Singapore and look after his mother and younger sister. Despite Li Jianjian's desperate unwillingness, both of them leave. The three go back to their real families. They are parted. They try thier level best to maintain the bond through phone calls and messages but as the years pass they have nothing to talk about expect asking each other to stay healthy and take care. They stop sharing their problems. Finally, they reach the stage where they just wished each other on festivals. He Ziqui doesn't keeps his promise of coming back after graduation.
Nine years pass.
Li Jianjian is all grown up and is a sculpture artist, having a studio where she sells wooden sculpture. She moves out of her father's house and lives in an apartment with her two best friends. Unexpectedly one day both her brothers come back claiming that they'd never leave now. Li Jianjian is unsure of how she should react as the bond between them has already weakened too much. Ling Xiao becomes a dentist and He Ziqui opens a cafè and bakes cakes and desserts there. Now, He Ziqui makes desserts because Li Jianjian loves sweets and Ling Xiao is a dentist because Li Jianjian is always getting toothache as she eats too much sweet and is afraid of going to dentists without Ling Xiao. Both her brother expect her to be the same Li Jianjian she was 9 years back. That 16 year old naughty Li Jianjian who used to cling on to her brothers, hold hands, have fun and cause troubles is now a 25 year old girl who is mature and can't do anything she used to. In fact, she tries her best to maintain a safe distance from both of them, while both of her brothers' hearts start grow feelings for her.
•WHAT I FELT WHILE WATCHING•
Go Ahead is a mixture of all kinds of emotions. The writers did an amazing job! Hats off for them!! They didn't let you be sad for a long time neither did they allowed you be happy constantly. It's like something good happens to one and the next moment a problem pops up for another. You'll need a box of tissues while watching their family issues and laugh like anything on the naughtiness and troubles Li Jianjian causes. There are happy moments, sad moments, heartbreaking moments, moments when you'll be angry and moments when you'll just want to be there in the drama to comfort the cast. It's literally a beautiful love triangle which deals with realistic family situations, realistic best friend relationships, the realistic hardships of growing up and the realistic feelings alongside! IT'S JUST SO REALISTIC!! Even the second lead cast (Li Jianjian's friends, He Ziqui's aunt), has their problems and family issues to deal with. It's like around 6 to 7 times I've watched this drama and it feels new everytime I watch it. I love to feel those emotions again and again and again! Mark my words, you'll never be bored while watching this!
•OST•
Mesmerizing OSTs! The lyrics are strongly meaningful and match the situation the three of them are in. I specially loved 'Like A Breeze' which was sung by Tan Song Yun herself.
THIS IS HONESTLY MY FAVORITE DRAMA! MY ULTIMATE DRAMA! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND 'GO AHEAD' TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE! IT'LL COMFORT PEOPLE WHO HAVE FAMILY ISSUES...INSPIRE PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING...SHOW YOU THE VALUE OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS...TEACH PEOPLE TO LOVE AND UNDERSTAND OTHERS...AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT'LL MAKE YOU REALISE THAT EVEN WITHOUT BEING BLOOD-RELATED ONE CAN PROVE TO BE THE BEST PERSON FOR THEIR LOVED ONES.
JUST WATCH IT AND YOU'LL KNOW WHY I AM SO MUCH IN LOVE WITH THIS DRAMA!
Happy Watching !!??
