the person who loves you is a lighthouse
the story revolves around a middle-class small family in China who are holding out today to survive tomorrow.
after their estranged daughter's death comes back to haunt them, they move cities and settle down opening a noodles shop.
the only daughter whose education was one the line and the bullying in her school made her feel like an imposter, she decides to uncover the real truth behind her sister's death.
she meets different types of people with different characters and different personalities each striving to protect their beloved in their own ways.
this drama talks about family love, disease awareness, therapy and support.
It shows that sometimes talking to each other with honesty is better than making false promises.
it shows the type of love that you wish doesn't necessarily seek you unless you want to.
it shows a disoriented family slowing finding its way back by navigating through their emotions.
it shows that your braveness and courage to expose the truth is 100 times better than just nodding along and passing it off as some distant fact which has nothing to do with you now.
it shows that some forgotten ones are not really abandoned because they were a burden but instead, they were the ones who were holding the family aloof while burning themselves.
it was an interesting drama with heavy emotional context and a complex background.
it gave us some insights on China's strict customs and traditions.
I was more interested in the romance part of the story rather than the mystery part of her sister....
but if she wasn't set on finding more about her sister then she wouldn't have met all the people she had so... they were all connected... and before i knew it i found calculating the clues and evidence along with the female lead.
Afterall, who can resist a good drama!
