A Slice of Life Kind of Drama - Lots of life lessons in it. Beautifully made and portrayed.
*spoilers ahead - and my 2-cents worth on this drama itself.*
Finally finished watching it - the whole drama was definitely a slice of life kinda story. It's learning from mistakes one made (in terms of lying) and how to overcome + fix them, plus the most important key point in a relationship, is honesty, trust, open communication, understanding and care. We definitely take others for granted and we must learn to love bravely even though our past hurts have hurt us a lot. Learning to grow from these pains, moving on and holding our heads up high.
Lying doesn't get us far, as we know, it will eventually become our downfalls - including greediness, revenge, selfishness, etc.
But with unconditional love, honesty, trust, open communication and a clear conscience in any relationship will get you further than lying. Supporting one another, not judging others, not being overly self-centered/ego-centered, believe in each other will bring together a strong foundation for both parties involved - whether that be family dynamics, relationship dynamics, friendship dynamics or coworkers too - its the same thing. Without proper, real understanding - without talking over one another or assuming things - things will be more clear in any relationships out there.
Overall, I really love this drama - there were painful moments, but also joyful moments too - the life as it is - in real life - like a rollercoaster - taking challenges thrown our ways and change them into lemonades. It's okay to cry, it's okay to make mistakes - it's not okay to lie - but to really be honest with one another is really important. Otherwise it'll cause a lot of misunderstandings between both parties involved.
I totally love the OST of this drama - beautifully written and matches the drama a lot completely.
I'm glad it was a happy ending - although I do wished to have seen Hao Chen together in the family picture too - alongside with both HaoMing's family and Xu Yan's family too! Would've loved to see Hao Chen make dumplings together with Xu Yan's grandma too! That would've been a cherry on top.
So, in my opinion after watching all of this is definitely 10/10 highly recommended.
P.S. Though this drama may not be everyone's cup of tea - but worth a try too.
P.S.S. I forgot to mention - all the actors and actresses in this drama did well! Especially the chemistry between the 2 leads - William Chan and Zhao Lusi. But coming 2nd is the Xu Yan's sister (acted by Wan Peng) and her relationship with the doctor - Yu Yi Ming (acted by Tang Xiao Tian) - their relationship are quite sweet too and willing to communicate things with one another too. Plus I love the kid - Hao Chen - he's so adorable and sweet too - plus HaoMing's family - after they open up to one another - again communication is key here - they are all the best too. Most importantly is Xu Yan's grandma, she was the best -- she was Xu Yan's ship port/shelter whenever she needs support, encouragement, escape, healing, etc. Really love this family dynamic between Xu Yan and her grandma - as well, eventually when Xu Yan introduce HaoMing to her and later down the road - to Hao Chen too. It was the best of the best, b/c Xu Yan's grandma taught life lessons to Hao Chen too when things were difficult to comprehend and digest - via an indirect method. It was effective and that's what changed the relationship between him and HaoMing and Xu Yan too.
