WOW! JUST WOW!
This drama is a slice of life, family type of drama and I've never watched a story like this, it really is so unique and touching. Even they go on their separate ways during their teenage years when their own families have troubles, they look forward to go home. To Li Haichao and Li Jianjian. It just shows that your status in life does not indicate how happy you are and you'll go back to the place that makes you feel like home.I've also had a crush for Song Weilong since 2020 and I must say, he nailed his role here. The emotions that his character must portray is deep and wanting to come back desperately for Jianjian since he likes her even before they got separated.
Ziqiu and He Mei's story is really so good as well, you can see he is secretly longing for his mother and he wants to ask her why did she abandoned him, and the story of her past comes out.
All scenes are so good and there's no part that you'll get bored. I would rewatch this again for sure!!! 💕💕
LING XIAO AND JIANJIAN🥰🫶🏼

A simply wonderful story
A wonderful drama about what the word family is really about, and which is both tragic and at the same time heart warming.No cliché moments or over acting, but subtle yet hard hitting scenes.
The child actors are excellent, as are the rest of a very natural and believable cast.
There were times I was so angry with certain characters and others when I was frustrated and irritated by them. However, the outcomes and morals of the stories within a story, explain so much.
Money cannot buy happiness, but it certainly helps and I liked that this drama never pretended one can survive on just love and fresh air; it's far more true to life. The saying about blood being thicker than water is also proven to not always be true.
A very apt and fitting soundtrack also accompanies this must watch series.
Now a firm favourite and one I will definitely watch again, as I'm already missing so many of the characters (Song Wei Long and Steven Zhang were especially good in theirs) and I honestly couldn't find fault with it.

What A Masterpiece ಥ‿ಥ
I love this drama so much. Every aspect of this drama is truly extraordinary. From the story, production, acting, even music, everything is amazing. I was initially put off watching it because of the family genre and too many episodes. But it turns out this is the first family drama that really touched my life. It's as if after I watched this drama, there was a part of me that wasn't the same anymore.The first episodes in this drama is very heart-wrenching, but you will want to continue. Then the next episodes is medicine for your heart❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭

It’s in my top 3 I promise u it won’t disappoint
Hey guys this is probs gonna be very long so I apologise in advance but there’s so much to talk about this gorggg drama.I started getting to know about this drama after seeing multiple edits and it looked really good
when I saw the amount of episodes it was a little unusual and I was worried it would make it laggy but omg the plot was vibrant from the start to the finish.
The beginning was showing the difficulties of all the main leads as children. Ling Chao with his mother abandoning him, Jian Jian with her mother passing away and her father struggling to raise her, and also He Ziquis mother leaving him. I loved how all three main characters were linked so well Ling Chao and Jian Jian are neighbours and due to Jian Jians dad almost dating He Ziquis mum after she leaves him He Ziqui stays with Jian Jian and her dad. The three grow up together and both Ling Chaos dad and Jian Jians dad become best do friends and bring all three children up together. As the plot goes on it shows how high school life goes I’d say this is the most funny part of the whole drama with Jian Jian becoming a woman and all the men in the house becoming slightly worried as none have experience on raising a girl. U can see the beautiful bond the 3 have with the whole sibling vibe goin on but Ling Chao on the occasion dropping hints that he likes her. Once Ling Chao and He Ziqui leave for Uni Jian Jian is left by herself and is quite lonely as she misses them quite a bit. U can see how much she misses them both when Ling Chao comes home for a bit and jumps on him to hug him veryyy tightly it’s such a cute scene unfortunately they all kinda lose contact and the messages become mostly to say happy new year or happy birthday. When both come back from Uni u it’s quite funny and He Ziqui unintentionally gets into a bit of a scandal with Jian Jian which she lets off after realising it was him and was an accident( I won’t spoil that bit too much cz it’s quite funny). U then see Jian Jian in a women’s light she’s much more mature very pretty and u can see her change. Her relationship with Ling Chao goes on from their and it’s extremely cuteee I love the two so much.
Overall this is a series where each three of the main leads r extremely needed even tho He Zequi doesn’t get with Jian Jian his character is extremely relevant and lovable.
I promise it’s such a good watch and u will love it for sureeeee:)))
Enjoy guys <3

Masterpiece like Ugly Alert (kdrama)!
I began watching this on a whim without expecting to continue further but somehow couldn't drop it. The drama was so engaging that at times it felt like time was frozen and I was the only one experiencing the phenomenon. The relationship and story building from beginning to end was well planned, although the ending imo felt rushed and one more episode would have made it a lot better than the rushed version. I loved the FL character played by Cong Shang as it pulled me in and her acting was too good. Moreover, the show reminded me of the kdrama "Ugly Alert" as they have similar elder protective brothers. The only thing I hate in Go Ahead is the lack of Happy Ending for supporting characters like all of FL's girlfriends.Was this review helpful to you?

Family show, at it's best, doesn't get better.
This is hands down one of the best family shows I have ever seen. The story and especially the characters are so well written, they all seem like real humans living life like everyone else, I was extremely happy with the way this show portrayed every kind of relationship with family. It was truly addictive and entertaining and made sure I cried BUCKETS of tears in most of the episodes, this much i have never cried while watching a show. I'll take a long time to get over this.I would first like to start off with each and every character that I grew to love with the 40 episodes that I watched.
Li jianjian- she's literally one of the cutest female lead's I have ever seen! I'm so in awe of her. She's so sweet, optimistic and caring about her brothers and fathers. Shes so mature and supportive of everyone in her life and easily wins hearts of everyone.
Ling xiao - hes your typical brother who pretends to not care about you but does things for you secretly haha! I really liked his character too. The pain he went through really touched my heart and song wei long portrays this character so wonderfully even though hes like a 99 liner! Hes so young, yet so good at acting!
Ziqiu- I personally love ziqiu's character alot! He holds a special place in my heart. Hes such a sweet supportive brother! Always letting his sister do what she wants and cleaning up her mess! From when he was a child he was extremely mature and so sweet to everyone. I must say I cried the most for ziqiu. His story was truly so so emotional.
Li haichao- dad li is the best parent in dramaland, I'm not even kidding. Hes the best human and best dad. The love he has for his family is the definition of unconditional. His kindness is truly never seen before. I aspire to be like him in life. Always wishing well and taking care of others around him.
Ling heping- dad ling, even though wasnt around most of the time, he always cares for his kids, does small things and supports them. His small gestures towards his son really makes you see how good of a person he is.
Honestly, these are the main characters but even the side characters are dived deep into and we see them grow into better people too. This is one of the best parts of the show.
Story line of the show is perfectly paced, not too slow not to fast and timeline is also perfect ( 99,09,19). The show has perfectly portrayed everyone's stories with alot of details. We can see that the writer really worked hard to put together such a wonderful story.
Now for what really made me reduce my rating is the romance aspect. It's not that I hated the idea of it but the way they executed it really put me off. For a few episodes I was extremely confused. It just came out of nowhere and was rushed with a little bit of loopholes here and there. But after there 3 4 episodes I got used to it and moved on. I do understand the purpose of it though. Still could have been done better.
Other than this small thing that I didn't enjoy, this show was perfect. I literally reccomend everyone to watch it. It's a piece of art :)

Amazing cast, great plot!
This drama only has a few episodes so far but as long as it wouldn't get dragging along the next few eps, this will definitely be on the top of my list!! It's so good, the relationship between the whole family is so beautiful to look at. This drama will make you cry, laugh, get angry and many more. It's so amazing how they can make you feel so hooked with just a few eps. I love all the cast too because they are truly fit with their characters. Can't wait for the next episodes! I literally wait every 12 am for WeTV to release the next 2 eps lol. I'm addicted already!Was this review helpful to you?
Brothers became lovers (such a boring thing )
I really like this drama. But If it will show a love triangle then i will really give this drama an extremely low rating. It's not necessary alwasys to show romantic love and triangle story. It will be good if there will brother sister love. This drama has a good opportunity to show everyone that romantic love is not necessary. There can be many different types of relation between a boy and girl. Jian called them brother but unfortunately this drama will end with same rom com plot which will be really boring and disgusting. I thought that writer had a good opportunity to show us about universal love and family bonding. But writer already missed the oppurtunity!! It's really sad....Was this review helpful to you?
Such a beautiful drama
I really don't know what to say about this drama. It's a wonderful drama. When it started airing I was not convinced enough to watch this. But one day I just randomly picked this drama.and it was just beyond my thoughts. It really has a different story from the other dramas I have seen. The story seems to be a bit real. At some point we can relate it to ourself. Their struggles, hardships everything.So this drama is about relationships. It's about 3 children whom live together like a family. I really don't like to share the whole story because I like when people personally enjoy them.
All I can say is it's a good drama with a good story , actors, plot everything.
Even the child actors were really good that they made me shed tears. I don't know if everyone equally like this drama. But if you can feel the relationship, love, support and trust you will surely love this drama. I will never forget these pandemic days where I am eagerly waiting everyday day for the episodes. This is the first drama I am watching when it's airing. Such a good drama.
Some will think that its an emotional drama.butthis one got everything.Family, friendship, love, fun, emotions, heartbreak everything in it. So give it a try and I believe you don't regret it:) . I haven't finished this drama. But even before I loved it.

Love, Love, Love. Of which I hope everyone can find.
This is probably one of my favorite drama of all time as I can find myself relating to many parts of the story. It tackles in everyday slices of life, friendship, relationships, family, children, trauma, and just overall growing up. I liked the complex relationships between the characters, and especially Li Jian Jian's dad, though not as developed compared to the other characters. He's portrayed and seemingly a genuinely sweet person. Not only is this drama relatable for me, it is also humorous and an enjoyable watch. The connection andhow the family goes through painful parts of life together, As I totally understand Ling Xiao's dad, trying his best to conquer his ex-wife's anger.

Ongoing Series Review (I wrote one because it's that good)
I want this drama to be recognized that badly and I'm crossing my fingers that when the future love triangle comes into play, the focus on the family picture won't be lost.Here's my brief review after watching 6 out of 40 episodes that I might tailor after finishing the series:
Everybody who lives and breathes go watch this drama! This is giving me the Korean Reply series nostalgia, especially Reply 1988, but different. It took the family theme 10x more seriously as it's more intimate, with the story revolving mostly on just 5 individuals and how connection is deeper than blood ties because this is a family drama where all the characters "became" not "are" family. Have you ever asked yourself if you can choose your family and not be born into one? Then this is your answer. I also love that a girl is raised by 2 dads and not by the usual mom and dad pair. It's great for not just the hijinks (who can forget the period and bra announcement scene haha), but also the amazing and valuable experience. I don't know if there's anbody who won't be moved by the scene where the female lead's dad cried his heart out because of how much he felt sorry for the two sons that he raised who are not even biologically his and how much he wanted to be recognized as their father. If such a human exists, please let me meet him or her. Seriously.
