God I loved the first half of this drama, but the ending left me quite disappointed. It was so warm and evoked genuine feelings in me during the high school part, but then in the last few episodes it started to feel overly preachy and trying too hard, which totally missed the mark for me because it was inherently inauthentic.
Does anyone know the name of the song that I honestly canāt remember what episode it was in or what the lyrics were, other than it kept repeating wo de baobei? I donāt think itās part of the OST
This drama is honestly so good but somehow despite that, I feel like Iām the wrong age to enjoy it properly. I ended up crying in several scenes because I identified with the mothers. But then, even tho I understand the feelings of a mother, I donāt have high school aged kids, so I canāt fully relate. On the other hand, Iām way past the stage of a dreaming youth, so while I love watching youth dramas for the nostalgia, I only want to if itās going to fulfill my romance fantasy as someone who definitely did not have a high school romance! So basically what Iām saying is thereās no denying this is a great drama but its just not what I want š
I could not watch Go Go Squid because both their acting really sucked to me. Glad to see theyāve both improved a lot (especially Yang Zi!). I will definitely watch Yang ziās shows from now on. Li Xian here reminds me of his role in Meet Yourself, but I canāt complain, both roles were likeable, even if similar
First drama that I watch where ML is never there when FL is in trouble like???? It kinda pisses me off a lot,…
Same itās so annoying and makes me dislike the ML. Iām so sick of all these feminist dramas these days. Like can they be realistic? No one can actually be totally independent. A true relationship of equals is one where you both rely on and help each other and are there for each other
Iām on episode 14 n I hate Lou family even the grandmother, because if she insisted on protecting lsy just like…
I donāt hate her but it also bothered me how she favors Yining so much when she has multiple grandchildren. And I had a hard time accepting sheās really a good person when she allowed LSY to suffer all these years
I really enjoyed this for the most part and even intended to rate it 10, but then the last few episodes left me feeling a bit disappointed. Iām pretty conservative, I usually donāt need or want gratuitous kiss scenes, but I feel like it would have been better if they had given us something at the end. I mean not even a wedding night kiss? And did she really need to keep calling him third brother until the very last minute? I was satisfied with their sibling type relationship for the majority of the drama, but then feel like they let us down at the end. I was expecting a bit of sweet fluffy romance but nothing really changed in their relationship. She even said that theyāre like an old couple ā but I feel like they shouldnāt necessarily. Still a great drama and worth watching. Just felt slightly disappointed.
Me neither and for me thatās perfect! I hate love triangles where one of the leads gives the second too much attention. Iām loving how they handled it in this drama!
Sixth Lady's mother: I knew you would never do anything innapropiate, that's why I didn't ask you about Mr. Han…
I kinda wish she would get with him and live a spoiled pampered life, but to be realistic, I donāt trust him or his mom. If she stops being useful to them one day, how will they treat her then? But I would be happy if we got to know Mr Han better and were able to determine he is in fact a good person. Cuz I donāt want another love story between family members (and to be clear, I donāt see a problem with marrying your uncles wifeās much younger brother, but in this drama where we already have this pseudo sibling love affair, itās like too much already!)
Just learnt this is a Go Ahead adaptation. as opposed to almost everyone here, I didn't like Go Ahead. I never…
I also had to drop Go Ahead 100% entirely and only because I couldnāt stand Song Weilongās terrible acting, and Zhang Xincheng outshined him in every scene. But I LOVED the first several episodes with the child actors. What I love about cdramas that deal with family and growing up is how authentic and nostalgic and relatable they are, even as a non-Chinese. They just make me feel a type of way kdramas never ever have, this adaptation included. Iām just not feeling the raw emotion and connection that Go Ahead gave me, so for that reason, Iāll probably drop this.
