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....

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 and

how 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.

Typical long run family drama with alot of family problems

Kindly note that I'm writing this while watching the show .

Things I've liked so far- I really enjoyed 1st few eps which beautifully showed Family bond between FL & her father, what a caring and heartwarming fatherly figure he is , he is my favorite character in whole drama who makes this whole drama wholesome . Subsequently Drama showed us problematic families like of ML 's and 2nd ML's . Later, we can all children and their eating meals together, spending time with each other and somewhat living together which is something really nice .
When it comes to the friendship between leads , that's great . It felt really wholesome, heartwarming , refreshing , innocent .

For emotions , Writer showed He Zi Qiu , poor kid who is gentle , caring , thoughtful but had terrible mother who is irresponsible towards him . All of them encountered different kind of pain but what Ziqui experienced was beyond too deep.

For frustrating us , writer showed Ling Xiao's mother who annoys us in all way possible and blames her own kid for something unfortunate , though Ling Xiao's sister is no joke too . I applaud Steven Zhang’s acting skills. He’s so good. It looks so natural when he’s trying to control his tears. I'm not that impressed by other's acting but Steven Zhang’s , he has improved a lot .


To be continued .......

Go Ahead

It's a nice story about a girl and 2 boys growing up without a parent or both but they came together and formed
a make-up family with close ties. All credit should go to the single father, Li Hai Chao who generously takes in Ze Chui
as his son and also cares for his neighbour and his son Ling Xiao. He plays a mother's role, cook and take care of the home
besides owning a noodle restaurant. The boys are very good looking, well behaved and love Li Jian Jian and her father Li
Hai Chao like their own family. The family closeness and caring is superb, not much of these relationship can be seen in real life. Negative part is - the actress playing as Li Jian Jian is not pretty and looks are way behind the boys. Should have a prettier girl for this show. And she kisses Ling Xiao too much. Overall, superb acting by all of them.

Got disgusted after few episodes

The initial 10 episodes were so good and I watched the series and i really was disgusted by LX's creepiness even during their school days. Sometimes it felt like he was sexualising LJJ too much when she was purely considering him as brother/sibling. And was i wrong? he really had romantic feelings when the writers showed us the not blood related siblings at first and punched on our face with LX's character trying steal a kiss from LJJ. I dropped the series after they started showing the love triangle plot and LX forcing her to have a romantic relationship with him. Other than this disgusting plot line, I really loved the Dads dynamic, fl's friendship wth the girls. I also wanted to convey that how the brothers expected LJJ to be the same after ghosting her for years and suddenly she must go back to her old life and old self and treat them nicely. Overall the plot was good initially and I would have given 8 if they avoided the romantic plot among the siblings. The other brother plot was also good I watched only the last episode to know if he finally got to live with his mother or not.

Don't Invest , not a Family Love drama... it's going to turn into a love triangle.

I was looking forward to this drama given that it had Seven Tan and SWL. But I was very disappointed despite enjoying the first five episode, because this drama is going to turned into a love triangle. It's so disturbing , it ruins the family plot that originally peaked my interested in this drama. I am so sad! The synopsis completely lied to me! I also find it strange that despite growing up together, they did not form that chemical bond in their brain, that most individuals will naturally form with their family members, making them unattractive to their sibling and parents.

Don't watch it if you are looking for a heart warming family drama.

Incest

I had to drop this drama. From episode 11 I came to understand that there was going to be a love triangle between three people who grew up as siblings. That feels totally wrong to me. The first 10 episodes were very interesting and I had never seen a drama like that before. It feels like a familiar everyday life. From the moment they grew up, their lives becamr boring. And why are the brothers trying to hide from Jiang Jian? Wtf I can't imagine my brother leaving for a few years and suddenly we falling in love like that. Disguting. People who see this as the best love story to ever exist need a brain check.

Acting & Plot is Awesome

This is my first drama review. Lead Actress acting is so cute. I watched some of her dramas. But this is the best one of her. Both Male leads are super good looking. And their fathers are so kind. Up until now the story is good. This is really my first drama which contains this type of story.

this drama is really a rolar coaster of emotions the three of them have a good chemistry and the acting is also quiet good before i thought that this drama is a jinx but after two episodes it was all cleared and it turned out to be fabulous i really recommend this drama because it is the story of three people who are not blood related but share a special relation this is worth watching................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
