There's Crack In Everything, That's How The Light Gets In
First of all, I'd like to appreciate the overall plot in the drama that so far is more interesting than in the original novel. Kuddos to the script writer and all the production team of this drama. It's slow burn romance but not that slow, there's no unnecessary delayed plot where the main leads hesitate to tell the truth, i.e when Gu Wei told Lin Zhixiao about his trembling hands so he couldn't operate anyone in that condition (usually in any other 'healing drama' where the main lead got mental issue, they hide their vulnerability and then caused big misunderstanding).
The relationship between Gu Wei who is way older than Lin Zhixiao is cute but not cliché. Gu Wei is more mature and has calm personality, looks cold but actually very warm-hearted. While Lin Zhixiao who's still blooming in her youth has a bright and positive energy. They're not totally opposite of each other, instead they shared those traits with each other. The romance between them is well balanced. Xiao Zhan and YangZi portray their characters perfectly, they make them alive.
Another thing that i love from this drama is how relatable Lin Zhixiao's family is with mine. As the first daughter in the family, I'm close with both my mom and dad, but also often bickering around over small little things, especially with my dad. He's protective but also supportive. He's quite affectionate in a unique way, just like Mr. Lin Jianguo. I cried during the dinner reconciled talk between Mr. Lin and Lin Zhixiao scene. Then got butterflies when Gu Wei tried to comfort Lin Zhixiao ㅠㅠ The whole episode was so heartwarming. Funny, romantic, touching.
Important highlight of this drama for me personally is: the way some characters dealing with conflict between them and their parents were well execute in very Asian ways. I mean, as Asian I would try to voice out my opinion as gentle as possible (even though sometimes I'd yell at them), I would try not to be too rebellious towards them (even though sometimes I'd come home next morning), I would try my best to prove them that I could take responsibility for all the things I've chosen in life (even though sometimes I'd cry at the bathroom in my workplace while murmuring 'sigh, mom was right then). I don't want to make them sad while at the same time I fight for my own definition of happiness. Thus, I'm excited to see the character development of Sansan (Lin Zhixiao's best friend) and Gu Xiao (Gu Wei's cousin) as well as Lin Zhixiao and Gu Wei themselves ♡
Oh, also, there's no weak masculinity in this drama. The scene where Gu Wei stand in front of pile of sanitary pads section in the market, and then a lady helped him choosing the recommended sanitary pads is just chef's kiss!
Ah, the little actor who played Qiuqiu is so adorable, he deserve much appreciations too ♡
I'm cheering for Gao Xi, i hope this lady could move on from her one sided love. I hope the drama would do justice too to Du Wenjun, in the novel he has quite important role in Gu Wei and Lin Zhixiao relationship, his own story is also heartwarming.
I'm anticipating a lot for the next upcoming episodes, can't wait when the plot is getting more intense and how each characters blooming into their better version of themselves. The Oath Of Love, please advise me for the rest of my life ♡
