Calming, healing, romantic watch.
struggled slightly before I decided to watch this show - reviews were mixed. some said good, some said boring, some said too long.3 words: I loved it.
Pros:
- Cast - I always loved Seven, esp since I watched Go Ahead. I think it might be the first time I am seriously watching JBR but love love love.
- Easy watch (ZERO angst) - as I’ve always reviewed, I hate shows with angst, push and pull. this barely had any, maybe in the first couple of episodes with the weird ZMS trope but solved so quickly, no complaints.
- Great wrap up - while some reviews I’ve seen online have mentioned that it’s 10 episodes too long, I love that the last episodes feel like it’s giving us a great wrap up. I love that the ending wasn’t 10 mins of bliss but really episodes and episodes worth of bliss. Almost every issue was also wrapped up, some maybe done lightly but still well done.
- Easy watch - did I mention this already? while it may seem too long for such a simple plot but I loved how it’s just slice of life, romantic, about a second chance romance, about how their first was ruined by misunderstanding and distance but the second chance fairytale like due to their maturity and longing for each other
Cons:
- ZMS trope - don’t want to spoil it but that was strange, felt unnecessary
- ML’s father - seemed too easily forgiven but might also be realistic in a sense that blood ties can’t be that easily broken? not sure, but in my eyes, too simply looked over
- overly perfect - my god, UNNECESSARY!!!! creating all these expectations for the perfect husband ☠️ I kid, without this, it wouldn’t be that sweet. (where’s my handsome, fit husband that’s a good cook, doesn’t talk much, sweet, caring, understanding)
If you want a light watch, watch this. If winter is coming and you want something to warm you up, watch this.

a painful watch and not in a good way
I came for Seven Tan after watching her amazing acting in Go Ahead and I tried not to let the mixed reviews stop me fron watching this drama.Oh My God was this storyline confusing and I found a lot of the acting awkward between the characters. The timeline skips around from 2008 to 2018 back to 2010 and then to 2020 and by the time I thought I was in real time my mind was blank. It didnt like the flow of the drama and the supporting characters were bouncing in and out (besides maybe the friends son).
Dropped at ep 6 and I dont think I’m coming back.
p.s. I even found a shorted summary version on Youtube and couldnt finish that either.

Beautiful
What a beautiful, Beautiful love story! It felt classic and simple and so, so warm. I thought the actors did an amazing job of converting love separated but never lost and never encased in hatred and bitterness but sheer misunderstanding and immaturity. I loved watching these characters grow in their love and just become so connected and balanced. I'm not a rewatch person but if I were I'd probably have this on my yearly rotation.Was this review helpful to you?
Nothing Much to say, perfect and beautiful
I already read the novel twice, and I love the novel so much. One of my favs novels.How come Jing Boran can capture the 'presence' of the Lu Chen novel version perfectly?
First and foremost, I was kinda bit disappointed when I saw Jing Boran cause I never watched his drama or movies, and I kinda avoided watching his drama but was surprised!
Do not judge before watch it!
I remember when I watched Lu Chen (Jing Boran), got the feeling the way back when I read the novel.
Kudos to him, he's such a great actor.
He's make me think that
"Oh, Lu Chen is real, there's someone who like him"
The character itself, not so much "drama version".
Like So perfect, and got no flaw, whatever..bla but he's character is like down to earth. he's also feels insecure, have family problems.
I mean, he's real.
The one of drama that portrays male character perfectly. So much humane.
Not focusing 'oh he's so handsome or whatever'.
If you guys watch some Cdramas, sometimes the male characters like "fake". Like a....human robot but not Lu Chen.
The Chemistry is noch top.
Their scene so much warm.
Because of Lu Chen, have i been falling in love with Lu Chen itself
And...
And I want to give a hug to Lu Chen and Gui Xiao.
They deserve each other.
They deserve their own world and happiness.
I can feel, their love is so strong.
I love when Lu Chen always soften his expression when they together.
I also want to say thank you for Lu Chen and Gui Xiao, cause it's keep remind and soften my heart when think about love and relationship.
Lu Chen-
He's characters remind of someone,
Someone's who not good at talked but he's showing you through action.
Gui Xiao-
I always think Seven Tan is one actress who can portray any role this is given to her.
The story is satisfying cause read the novel itself,
So not much different.
Maybe ia m bit biased cause I love the novel so when it comes to the adaptation version, should not be a problem for me.
The story reminds of beautiful story.
I think beautiful is the perfect word to this story.
I can't think other words than this.
Oh, maybe you think it might be cliche but trust me, it's beautiful.
Beautiful in.....warm way.
Will come back again.
If you want to judge whether the drama is the best or not, you will only have two feelings after watched it:
You feel regret cause why you not watching the drama earlier
Or
You feel regret cause you already watched it cause the first time feelings that gives to you when you pick up the drama, its wont be the same anymore.
So, its highly recommend and i satisfied.
The novel and the drama.
Kudos to Director, actor to make this drama feel like a real 'road home'.
One of the successful adaptations version from novel to the drama.

Então… pra mim pecou na história.
O que podemos dizer sobre: a caminho de casa? Poderia ter sido melhor. O casal tem uma química legal, eles são muito fofo juntos, mas ao meu ver a história não tem história! Como assim? kkk Para mim parecia mais um enredo pra contar dos trabalhos deles, e isso pra 30 capítulos se tornou massante. Nem entendi pra que tanto capítulo, pois não se falava de nada. É até tentado demonstrar nos capítulos a razão da separação deles, mas ao meu ver não ficou legal, tinha horas que ficava tudo confuso. Era melhor ter seguido a ordem cronológica certa: começado com eles no ginásio se conhecendo, o desenvolver do romance, eles depois de terem saído da escola, desenvolver melhor a questão de um relacionamento a distância, a separação e depois os anos se passavam. Acho que ficaria mais interessante e não tão confuso como ficou.Até quando eles tem um filho não senti que eles se tornaram pais. De tão confuso que foi tudo.
Um dorama mediano, que tinha tudo para ser melhor!

Dramma un po' lento ma piacevole.
Un dramma di vita di quelli dove si racconta di una storia d'amore che deve affrontare delle difficoltà, una separazione di 10 anni che però non farà morire questo amore e al ritorno insieme è tutto come prima e anche meglio. Una chimica molto bella tra gli attori protagonisti contribuisce a far scorrere la trama che di per sé è un poco lenta e anche un po' noiosa in certi episodi però si riprende un po' sul finale. Un bel happy ending come si deve!Was this review helpful to you?

Road Home: bela estrada, conexão perdida.
Road Home conta a história de Lu Yan Chen, um oficial da SWAT, e Gui Xiao, uma diretora de investimentos, cujo destino os uniu ainda no ensino médio. Um amor jovem nasceu em meio aos livros, mas a vida adulta — com rotinas e profissões tão distintas — acabou afastando os dois. A trama acompanha o reencontro deles anos depois e uma nova tentativa de recomeço.O início do drama foi muito bom. Comecei a assistir Road Home após ver um edit no TikTok do casal principal sentado ao nascer do sol, em meio à neve. O cenário já entregava tudo que eu amo: inverno e policial da SWAT. Adorei a química entre o casal principal desde o primeiro episódio. Mas, com o passar do tempo, aquele brilho e encanto que me conquistaram foram se perdendo. Não sei exatamente o motivo.
No geral, a série é boa. Rende momentos engraçados e fofos. Os personagens secundários são adoráveis e, em certo ponto, me vi mais apaixonada por eles do que pelos protagonistas. Senti falta de ver mais do crescimento e desenvolvimento desses personagens ao longo da trama.
A direção e o roteiro são bons, mas apenas isso — bons. A trilha sonora não me marcou, exceto por uma música que nem faz parte da OST original: 灰姑娘 (Cinderela), do 鄭鈞 (Zheng Jun), que me conquistou completamente.
Apesar de ter bons momentos, foi um drama que, de certa forma, assisti me arrastando. A química do casal principal, que começou tão bem, acabou caindo bastante. A cinematografia brilhou em cenas na neve e nas viagens, mas fora isso, achei visualmente fraca e sem impacto.
O final... A cena em que Lu Chen se machuca gravemente enquanto Gui Xiao está prestes a dar à luz é, sem dúvidas, marcante. Nunca vi algo assim em outro drama. Mas... e a química? Não senti. Tudo era muito emocionante no papel, mas, na prática, a atuação deles não me convenceu à altura do momento. A ideia de casamento e família é linda, mas como me envolver se não vejo paixão entre os atores?
Claro, essa é só a minha experiência. Torço para que você tenha uma percepção diferente em relação à química e atuação.
No fim, recomendo Road Home para quem ama uma temática de segunda chance com um final digno — com casamento e filhos —, uma linda cinematografia de inverno, personagens secundários cativantes e um início de tirar o fôlego (e espero que para você continue assim até o fim). Talvez eu assista novamente, mas se for para escolher entre outros C-dramas com essa mesma proposta, confesso que Road Home não seria a minha primeira opção.
Espero que minha resenha ajude, mas, acima de tudo, que você assista e tire suas próprias conclusões. ♡

Super good drama

LINDO LINDO LINDO
Eu tenho um apreço por histórias de reencontros, mas nunca vi nada tão doce! Road Home carrega em si uma carga dramática, mas consegue se manter equilibrado com cenas fofas de um amor responsável e gentil. Embora eu tenha lamentado as razões que levaram o casal a se separar, não há ninguém culpado e talvez isso só torne as coisas mais dolorosas. É um drama maduro, com problemáticas delicadas, mas que consegue aquecer o coração de modo único. Gui Xiao e Lu Chen são tão adoráveis, não fiquei aborrecida com nada em especial, adorei ter acompanhado suas vidas se encontrarem novamente. Estou absolutamente encantada.Was this review helpful to you?
