Best of both world ending, no need for Season 2 because it's already a wholesome drama that serves its title. Great watch! Hope PSH gets her award she deserves for starring in this (:
I see, I do remember it's quite explicit BL in the first Ep.
When they say they confirm gonna air this at this date, I was wanting to have ep 5 as well, since first 4 ep obviously already aired and around. But no, another 2 weeks of painful wait D:
I like how their skinship goes naturally and non-awkwardly. This drama might be short but at least their main focus point in scenes ain't waste
I think it's just human nature. If I have a superior whom look like that and does those to me, I wouldn't have mind actually. But on the other hand if otherwise, it will get uncomfortable so I understand the concern some people made here in the comments
Why is no one's hating on Sanha's uncle. Annoying selfish jerk! Yeah! Give all responsibility to a child!
Probably cause he's just a human prop as a character.
In OG pretty much similar, we don't really see him after since the point is for ML to take care of his mum. The uncle thus became someone as forgettable when it comes to the main plot.
one thing i noticed while rewatching go ahead while waiting for more episodes is that they call them dad like…
Yes, agree to both points. I think Korean doesn't have that culture to address someone else as Dad like Yun Appa or Kim Appa. It's not very natural and normal as compared to Chinese calling someone else Dad with their surname in front like Li Ba or Ling Ba.
And the setting of this drama indeed sets San Ha to have feelings for Ju Won early and more naturally like a neighbour upstairs whom grew up together so the use of Ahjussi sets some form of distance in their relationship for the leads to fall in love and be together
Heard that there will be China-Thai collab for S2.
Why? 😢
No offence, but with Thai production really sucks. If a S2 is gonna happen without the same cast but with new cast and it's highly not gonna be a good job, would it have been better to just stay with no S2 and let it all continue to be a sweet dream and not turn it into nightmare?
If you want to watch something lighter and at a more reasonable pace due to life commitment, watch this adaptation.If…
Go Ahead: - More depth of Backstory for each characters (even for side characters): super impactful to make you feel if you were in their shoes - He Ziqiu (Child) is best kid in the world. - He Ziqiu (Adult) acts super well but might not be your Stan. - Ling Xiao (Adult) might be your Stan - All 3 "siblings" have their own story and wounds you will empathise if you watch from start to the end. - Not much of romantic feels at the start until become working adults.
Family by Choice: - Very similar vibe of FL's Father and Mother of ML1. Actor and Actress for both roles did well to portray what was in the OG that isn't lost in the adaptation. - The 3 siblings are much closer and relatable in the "Siblings vibe" despite OG acted very well on their respective roles. It may have to do with how the actor and actress look that can't be helped even when they acted fantastically. - On the much sweeter and romantic side from the start due to how the story focus only on some main points but with less depth. Have some kind of hidden romantic side showing up even when not yet working adult. - FL has a different personality from the OG (which is why it wouldn't be the same, and you should watch both and not compare what it should have been or what it should be. This drama seems to want to use a different plot point despite having use of some of the OG characteristics, but not everything. Which is why there will be freshness) - ML1 (Child) is the most pitiful kid here whereas ML2 (Child) is the one in OG - ML2 (Adult) is my Stan here whereas ML1 (Adult) is my stan in the OG.
This is just some of the few things and I avoid writing the exact plot points specifically in detail for both dramas to avoid spoiling the mood the drama wants you to have when watching it. (e.g. ML2's backstory in detail)
If you actually watch it, you will understand what I am referring to. Just enjoy both. The Chinese OG is indeed a Masterpiece but pacing is somewhat slower to some people's liking and some people may not like the cast (which I agree can affect how you view the drama), but the actors and actresses really did portray their characters well, even their child version.
Give both drama a try. They are good in their own ways but I have to admit, this drama lacks the main plot points the OG gave but I am sure the main point of that adaptation is not to create the same experience. Look out for the freshness and original side of story they adapted that is different from the OG and both are great dramas. Enjoy!
Recommend watch cause acting very natural from the leads
(Although yeah, 1st Ep already know something but still...)
Really like how natural QL's affection for QX is.
The way QL look at QX at every moment he gets. ❤️
And the way QX look at QL in the closet... Boy, you definitely like him too! You can be confuse, but don't deny yeah. 🤭

Said they're not the same ==
I thought they were the same so I haven't rewatch while painfully waiting for Ep 5

But I guess such production shouldn't have high expectations
