Best Choice Ever

Best Heartwarming Family drama of the year

Best choice ever is maninly a family drama which protrays huan's growth, pain and love and relationship between her mother. She cuts ties with her mother out of anger and tries to be independant. Truly a nice family drama the ML's were great in terms of acting realistically and showed a great, loving relationship. We may not have had much intimate scenes and kissings but remember this is a family orientated drama that mainly focuses on huan's family, you coulc also say the mum's the main character in this show.
It comes to realisation that your mum has always been their for you, and cares for you and that you should hold on to your parents before its too late, have no regrets maybe not forcing marriage with her ex-boyfriend. She had good intentions but was clearly fixated on huan's future but slowly realises what huan wants is different to what she wants for her.
Truly, worth a watch after so many struggles it ended with a happy ending, perfect for those family-drama fans out there!

It's a Family Affair

The ML and FL were great in showing depth of emotions from business and personal conflict. The FL's mother was superb in showing how a parent within their capabilities can learn, grow and impact all that they touch. The grandmother was a heartwarming reminder on how to focus on what's truly important and not get lost in throws of life or business expectations. The focus within this series was more family relations and situational than romance. The endearing quality of this drama is that it shows how connections endure throughout different circumstances and come out stronger in the end. A very heartwarming drama that is worth watching.

Little bit boring

The last few episodes were interesting, but the rest were boring. The entry of the main leads was good, and I initially thought there would be a clash between them. However, the female lead already had a boyfriend. The story began with her perspective. She had a boyfriend who was always good to her, and they shared a strong bond. However, they broke up because of his sister, who manipulated his mother, leading to a conflict based on social status. The male lead entered their lives, and the common link was his grandmother, who was an acquaintance of the female lead. The female lead's mother constantly nagged at her , trying to impose her decisions on her daughter. She was the dominant figure in their family. As time passed, the mother gradually began to understand things better.

The story depicts the hurdles faced by the leads and how they overcome them. It also explores the challenges faced by two other characters due to the age gap in their relationship.

I particularly liked the chemistry between the second leads, the female lead's brother and her best friend.

Worth Watching

Best Choice Ever is a simple story about hardwork and dedication and family ties.

MCH will tell us the story that with pure determination you can reach high goals, no need to be a scheming sly fox.

A lot of the characters in the story had been using connections to gain what they wanted
and this is purely reality,there are a lot of things in this life that can only been gain through connections,but somehow MCH would like to give a different light on this matter. Even if she is surrounded by scheming people who are afraid of their own shadow and guilt it didn't stir up her heart and did her best to move up in the field she have chosen.

Best Choice Ever

its a mix of romance, family drama, and personal growth. It's all about Mai Cheng Huan's journey as she deals with her controlling mom, her relationship with Jia Liang and her boss, Yao zhiming. I find Mai Cheng Huan's struggle to find herself relatable, while Jia Liang's loyalty and flaws add depth. The mother's overbearing nature and Yao Zhiming's intriguing persona keep things interesting.
Even though it might have some familiar storylines, the strong acting by the cast, especially Yang Zi, He saifei and Xu Kai, makes it feel fresh.
In a nutshell, "Best Choice Ever" is worth watching as it is a drama that explores love, family, and finding yourself. It's a must-watch for anyone who loves family dramas with depth and complexity.

Drama - Understanding major principles of Confucius and Chinese/Asian Culture

This drama is a perfect demonstration of generation gap issues and filial piety. Generation gap is a major issue in Chinese culture because the elders don't understand or don't want to understand the pressures of their children/younger generation. However, Confucious teaches us to keep filial piety regardless of age.

Those of you who want to watch a simple romantic comedy - this drama is not for you.
But, if you want to understand a bit more about Chinese Traditional values, then watch this. The meaning is quite deep. And, character development is demonstrated in all major characters.

Just make a separate drama with the mother in the lead, for God's sake!!

I have seen ridiculous importance given to mothers in Asian dramas - and you let it pass convincing yourself that it's a part of the culture.
But using a mother as a pivotal tool in determining the story is just a lazy or untalented screenplay.

However this drama transcends all boundaries of atrocity.
The mother in this drama is the lead and every other actor is playing a support role.

She is crude, tacky, greedy, atrocious......and this is not just the character written for the drama -it's her own overacting and portrayal that makes you want to cry "enough already!".

Of the 22 episodes I watched, I tried forwarding her scenes, but when you do that, the episode ends!!@#. That's how much screen time she's given!

The story itself had some possibility of being intriguing. There was absolutely no romance between the leads till ep.22 and honestly you don't care anymore!
Its all about maama.....

Wow.....glory be to motherhood in this country where she gets a lead role with two of the hottest stars.
Miserable waste of time 😒🥺

Mother of female lead sucks

Maybe it's an extreme personal preference, but I can not stand moms who only care about when their daughter is getting married and how old she is getting, the older she gets the harder it will be to have kids. I know it's relatively important but this one was made so that the female lead's only role was to get married into a good family and have kids. From the first couple minutes, all the mom talked about was marriage and having kids, she hated the boyfriend but the moment it was exposed he was actually born into a rich family she switched sides! It was so irritating I couldn't watch more than 2 episodes. I was so excited at first because Xu Kai and Yang Zi are both great actors but I just couldn't handle the mom >:(
