Blood is thicker than water

First time watching a drama based mainly on siblings and I must say that I really enjoy it surprisingly. Qiao Si Mei is definitely my favourite character here. Qiao Qi Qi is my second favourite and I must say that he deserved way more screen time.

Characters:
Qiao Zu Wang (the father)- Ok I really dislike his character as he was really selfish in the beginning but then he did become better in the middle when it came to Si Mei's love life problem. But then his character got worse in the later episodes until like the last episode when he called out his children's names.

Qiao Yi Cheng- Honestly, I really like him when it comes to him protecting his family but as a husband, I don't think so. He does have a few love interest and only the last one lasted. Honestly, his first wife was so uggghhh. I didn't like her at all and didn't get why Yi Cheng even married her?! But luckily his second wife was good enough so it wasn't that bad. Yi Cheng's character is really hardworking and kind to his family. But he doesn't like to beg people for things and get things done by himself without wanting the other person to know.

Qiao Er Chiang- I really like his character and that he and Si Mei are quite similar where both are willing to go over the extra mile just for their love ones. His bond with Si Mei is also really sweet and loving and I like how they were always helping each other up. He is a really honest man with a kind and good personality.

Qiao San Li- She is strong and smart. I love her relationship with Yi Ding and is really supportive of her husband. She is also really close with her brother and looks up to him (Yi Cheng). Mao Xiao Tong did a good job in portraying San Li.

Qiao Si Mei- My favourite in this show! Her strong will and belief when it comes to love can be touching for others. She is a very carefree child with a strong and stubborn character and loves getting into trouble. She can be mischievous at times and serious at other times. Her fashion sense is definitely on point and I love how she dresses up just for herself to see. Si Mei is one that has plenty of dreams and ended up quite successful since the beginning when she started working. However, her love life may not be as smooth but I'm glad she pulled through and went on with her life.

Qiao Qi Qi- I think he deserves way more screen time!! It's so unfair for Qi Qi as although the rest of the four siblings are really close and they all have a good relationship, somehow I just don't get how they could actually neglect Qi Qi so much. Luckily there was Wei Min (their cousin) who helped bring Qi Qi up otherwise it'll just be so sad. Like I get that the rest of the siblings were upset over their mother's death but Qi Qi shouldn't have been neglected by them even though their dad wanted to let their aunt raise Qi Qi up.

Overall, I really recommend everyone to give this show a try. TBH I came here just for Lareina Song Zu Er, but I ended up liking this very much. All the actors did a really good job as well.
