Another drama from Zhang Wan Yi, I’m curious. Let’s watch…

Story about mistreated children of Luo family, Luo Yi Ning (YN) & Luo Shen Yuan (SY). YN is a legitimate daughter of the Luo family, but she’s not a favorable child of her father, she still gains all the respect in the family because her grandmother (Madame Luo) hugely favors her. While SY is the legitimate son of the Luo family, where everyone underestimated & looked with one eye.

The story begins with the return of YN to the main house to celebrate her grandma’s birthday. In the house, SY safe YN from her father concubine trap, that’s made YN indebt with SY & since that day, YN determine to help SY climb in favor at the Luo’s family.

Each day YN & SY grew closer with each other, and YN found many good qualities in SY that no one ever knew about. And since MDL already wrote in their summary, one day SY learns that YN is actually not their father's biological daughter, and that of course makes SY have different feelings for YN. But YN still doesn't know about the fact, that’s make SY had to hide his feelings while still acting as a good brother to YN.

SY & YN grew closer and closer with each other, as they tried to solve the mystery of YN’s mother & SY’s teacher death. And all tapered about politics and intrigue in the palace. So… How they manage their feelings & uncover all the mystery in this drama…

What I like:
+ I don’t too impressed with Ren Min in The Longest Promise, but here… Her acting is more natural & much better overall.
+ The good old grandma. Sometimes grandmas are the best in dramaland… Haha…
+ One of the best main wife. I really like Lin Hai Ru as the main wife.
+ The cute Lin Mao (LM) & Luo Yi Xiu (YX) as a couple. When I watch the clip from YT I kinda hope YX will become pairing with Han Zhao, cause you know for once, kind hearted chubby supporting roles get paired with the prince. But in the end, I’m happy LM got together with YX. They understand & respect each other.
+ How each child shows respect to their parents. Like no matter how bad SY’s dad mistreated him, in the end he was still his dad. Or like when YX’s mother did something horrible, but in the end all of her children still acknowledge her as their mother.

What I don’t like:
- How they force the bad guy. Hm… I feel like in the end the bad guy is half baked & the ending kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
- The relationship between SY & YN. Oh I know how they try to sell it as romance. But you imagine, the one that you thought of as your brother for several years, suddenly not your brother & you also find out he knew about the fact all this time & he got feelings for you… It’s kinda disturbing….
- No one really bothers about how easily YN moves family / household. Haha… Like no one really gossip about that fact…

Overall this is a good drama to watch
