I am drowning in a pool of tears~
First and foremost, lets praise the actors for portraying the characters so well. The emotions where there, the plot was also there, this show is a masterpiece!
This drama was one of the best I have watched this year and though I would have loved to see more of Mingsheng and Qingyu, I do realise that this drama has more of a serious meaning behind it so I am not mad. I am also glad that they are using this to bring awareness to AIDS but also mental health and family issues. The mother's story was also very sad though I do agree that she was not a great mother, I put 90% of the blame on the dad's side of the family. The dad was a coward who couldn't stand up to his parents even at the ripe age of 40-50 and let them step all over his wife and children, he did redeem himself a little in the last few episodes but overall I blamed the dad more than the mom...
Lastly, I just have to mention Zhou Yiran's acting in the last 2 episodes, especially the restaurant scene? UGH! He is such a great actor I had tears streaming down my face during that scene with the overflowing emotions... I can't get enough of this. Also am I the only one who wished that the drama had maybe an episode or two more? LIKE I GET IT, I KNOW THE POINT OF THE SHOW but like it would have been nice seeing MingYu couple having a little romance, ALSO I see a few people saying that they like that Chinese dramas are getting shorter and I have to loudly disagree! I feel like 30-38 episode are necessary for some dramas. But then again it depends on the drama and the plot, we don't want it to seem like it was rushed and we also don't want it to feel like it is being dragged. With this drama I think even if it was a 30 episode drama it would have brought more satisfaction to people, specially if we could see the MingYu couples for a while, the mom and dad getting better, the brother getting older. Them just being happy but then again I get that the point of the drama is more serious and I am not sad about the ending.
Thanks for listening (reading) my rant and opinions~
