This was a total disappointment. I love Go Ahead. I have watched it so many times. Most Chinese dramas can’t bring out the emotions in you like most Korean dramas do.
Episode 1 was going great. I thought this would be a good remake. But after 2nd episode it went downhill. In go ahead we can see how much importance a mother has in everyone’s life. Especially in the female lead’s life.
But this remake has not even a single scene of that.
I couldn’t see their siblings bond. We can see from the start that Juwon is biased towards Sanha. In go ahead both the male leads had each other's back when they were young. There were no unnecessary fights. The pain of being abandoned by their mother was understood by them. But here haejun was always fighting with Sanha.
I don’t like that.
The birthday scene where the aunt spoke nonsense and the father took a stand for the second lead was so perfectly portrayed in Go Ahead. But here it was not good.
I couldn’t understand Sanha’s mother's character as well. And according to me she never felt sorry for what she did. It was in the last episode where she cried when Sanha told her about his wounds. But I was accepting a sincere apology.
In 16 episodes they could have covered a lot of details from the original one but they didn’t.
I wanted more of Sanha’s trauma. When the female lead got to know about what he has been through I wanted more of that.
The writing of this drama is sometimes so lacking.

One thing I liked most about this drama is how amazingly the kids did their job in the first episodes, especially Sanha’s and Juwon’s Kid version.

Yang Hua-
I loved his character. Xu Kai did a great job. After meeting Qin Shi he grew as a person. He looked at life from a different perspective. And that is how it should be. I never felt that they were in a fake marriage. Qin Shi was so comfortable around him. He will not forget to put her heels in their place even if he is drunk. That was so cute. How cutely he recites poems when he is drunk. I liked how he never felt ashamed of being a househusband and Drama did a commendable job of showing this in the first 20 episodes.

Qin Shi-
This character cannot be understood by all. Sometimes she comes as a red flag or weird but no one is perfect. Her goal was clear. She lied because she saw how difficult it was for her to get a job just because she was not married. And she could do anything to change that. I like how professional she was when her ex joined the company. What I don’t like about her is how blindly she trusted President Tang. And her obsession with being a partner in the firm. Leaving the firm was the best decision. Though she should have done it sooner.
Some might say that the last 5 episodes were unnecessary. But according to me the thing which happened in episode 36 should have happened in episode 30. She was afraid of marriage and I can understand that. She saw her father’s divorce twice. She saw her younger brother’s marriage being failed like every alternate day(that’s a different story). And then her seven-year relationship with Tao Jun Hui. Not everyone can break their wall easily. So yes she needed time to figure everything out. And Yang Hua gave her that. They should have shown their reunion and all other things in 3 episodes. Things were quite hasty in the last episode.

Li dai-
I just love this character. She only wanted fairness in her company. I love how underrated her friendship was with Yang Hua. When she got to know that she didn’t receive a single vote for the 11th floor, she left the firm. And I loved that she knew when to stop. After that, she shined like a bright diamond. She was a gem. I wish there was more screen time for her.

Tao Jun Hui and Wu Fei-
What do I even say about these two. He never took a stand for Qin Shi in front of his mother. Even in later episodes when his mother was speaking nonsense about the FL family, he never spoke up. His mother can make her son a puppet of a rich family but cannot allow to marry him such a beautiful and kind person. And after that, he was being rude to Qin Shi. I mean hello who gave you this right Sir? He could have gone to her even if she was not answering his texts. He knew about her fear of marriage right? But he went abroad. And then he dares to speak to her like that.
Wu Fei was an immature kid who got spoiled all her life. TJH never stopped her when she was doing such childish things with Qin Shi. She took her office, and cases, and even made someone spy on her from the office. Wtf? He always laughed and brushed it off when she did all these things. If your man is making you feel insecure you cannot blame it on the female lead.
Always shouting, yelling, and crying in the workplace. I mean that’s not your father’s firm. That’s all I need to say about this annoying character.

Major spoilers ahead!!!!

It surely has become one of the best cdrama after hidden love and when I fly towards you.
This drama is so cute. The way Ruo Xi looks at Xia Mi is so cute. He fell harder for her. He is such a sweetheart. OH MY GOD his smile is so good. Main leads chemistry was on point.
I felt bad for the Monitor throughout the series. He didn’t deserve that.
I don’t know why he ended up with Ruo Li. I thought she would feel guilty about her actions in later episodes but no she proved me wrong.
I just don’t like their end. Not every person deserves your forgiveness. The monitor shouldn’t have accepted her.
Every character in the series has their plus points. I really liked yu han’s character.
Some people will say that the male lead should have contacted her but the point of the later episodes was his struggle. Even if his mom’s surgery was successful, he still struggled financially. He wanted to be the best version of himself for Xia Mi. He wanted to fulfil that promise. He was frustrated with his life. He lost the phone charm as well which the female lead gifted him. Then after 2-3 years, he thought that she had moved on. He only realized that she hadn't when he read the script which she wrote.
In my opinion, it was a cute drama.
