Amazing family drama with Amazing Actors
This drama is amazing. People who grew up in traditional Asian families in the past 30-40 years would resonate with the family vibes. Parents who are over bearing and show love by scolding and then secretly worrying and crying. China’s progress in the background is an added bonus for us who like history. And it’s really amazing to see how China have progressed. Just go look at the cities today vs what you see in the drama.
ML is such a great actor. The ML’s character is so endearing , very cute, toothy infectious laughter, , always with a silly smile yet he hides a big ambition to grow and contribute to people and places he loves. Elvis Han deserves a bigger reputation and fame than many actors today. I suspect his dramas are mostly aired and catered to local audience and not international ones as I can’t find most of them on overseas platforms.
FL is amazing as usual. This is my third drama of hers in a row, after I discovered her in recent drama Wild Ambition Bloon. Her acting is powerful, natural and versatile, comparable to Sun Li. She too deserves more fame.
The story although good can be a little unrealistic at times. In particular, how the MIL keeps the ML‘s ID book even though he is a grown adult and family breadwinner…thus causing him to not be able to get his marriage registered and officiated for 9 years. Not possible. Secondly, the SFL character. She made someone’s husband abandon his family and young son for a period of time because she insists that he has to help her in her rehabilitation. It’s borderline blackmailing him by threatening him that otherwise she will die. It’s ridiculous. She has enough money to hire the best nurses to help her. She is so selfish. Luckily although she schemed her way to make his mother force him to marry her and abandon his real wife and son, fate has it that it didn’t happen. Luckily her character didn’t turn typically evil and ML was so resolute in never giving in. I love ML for this. He never waivered inspite of all kinds of pressure and blackmail to marry SFL.
Overall this is a very good drama. Not typical in terms of key challenges and love triangle’s. Highly recommend this.
