Just a Beautiful Slice of Life....

Okay so I know this drama has been getting either 10/10 or pretty low scores. Now I personally agree more with the 10/10 than low scores because it definitely had a lot to it to love, but it just was not perfect.

The beginning of the story was amazing I was so into their childhood and what would happen when they came back together after being separated. I was really just counting down the hours until the next ep was available. But at some point I kind of stopped and it seemed like just another drama I was watching. This is probably because of the ongoing drama between Ling Xiao and his mum that lasted way too long and caused a rushed ending. However, other than that I don't really have any complaints.

The beauty of this drama:
- the relationships, not just romantically but the parent-child relationships, the siblings, the friendships, even just that dental colleague knowing when to stay in her lane and not be annoying like characters in a lot of other dramas. I also like they show different kinds of relationship problems through the supporting characters as well like Tang Can and Ming Yue's situation
- character development: now the ending is sort of rushed with Chen Ting's development however I loved seeing Tang Can, LX's little sister, Ming Yue (though her character was slightly annoying in the beginning lmao), then of course Zi Qiu and Jian Jian. Ling Xiao kinda stayed the same for me though he just decided to open up a little more
- Actors: Can we just appreciate the dads for a second, those two were 10/10 I loved any scene with them. Of course Seven Tan, Steven Zhang and Song Wei Long are amazing. But even the support characters were a joy to watch, this cast was just so good I love them all. Yang Tong She (Chen Ting's actor) was amazing, she really managed to fire me up and her expressions were on point.

I really recommend this to anyone who enjoys family dramas, now that it's over it might be easy to binge, waiting may have made it seem like it dragged out however I still think this show was beautiful despite its imperfections.
