It was a 10 for me until the last few episodes. Then it dropped to 8.5.
This drama is a little rough around the edges with parts that don't flow very smoothly, especially toward the end. There's an intrigue that seems redundant, trying too hard to be sensational. However, the family dynamic is interesting to watch, and I personally enjoyed the power struggle between the Fu brothers. The cast is top-notch, no doubt about it. My biggest disappointment is that by episode 39, the drama fails to dwell too much on (well-deserved) consequences. Some characters commit atrocious acts that are not adequately punished or addressed (Yunshen's mother, I'm looking at you!). Cheng Yi is, yet again, the king of whump here. Seriously, his character has more lives than a cat. Shot, paralyzed, staked - you name it, he's been through it all. Overall, it was a great watch, except for the last draggy episodes that somewhat ruined the experience for me.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

The plot ruined the actor
I watch with high expectation because of Cheng YiThe Plot/Storyline/Script
I would say they have got idea to exposed on the medical side on refugee camp
but the execution is quite weak. There are so many unnecessary scene so that sometime i just i skip a lot because at the end i will know what happen.
Like i said they had good storyline but poor execution and poor script
Just a typical rich family greedy to married their son to other wealthy family
Chinese mother that never regret
Their love story is quite sad ML is sick and after that FL is sick
Too many sick for the ML
Actor/Actress
I would say the ML and FL don't have much compability
its seems they are more awkward side not feel the connection between them
Don't expect romantic scene because if there are any romantic scene you will not feel the connection.
But for the sad scene CY did great just he need to choose carefully the drama that he will be joined because
this character is not for him, to skinny and no charisma
but i like in Lotus bookcase

Loving this drama
I was waiting for another Cheng Yi's drama to watch & this drama didn't disappoint me. I am loving the chemistry b/w Cheng yi & ZHnag Yuxi both are amazing actors. Cheng yi always surprises he really nailed this role, i was so surprised that he can do so well in modern dramas too coz i have seen his all other dramas all are costume dramas. He is so good.SWK is really good paced and romantic drama, I am really liking the story, It is a story which have enough of sweet & sad parts of life, really good. For anyone who like romantic dramas this is a must watch.

Melodrama of the Month Award winner
It was painstaking watching the main characters being tortured emotionally or physically for thirty-nine episodes. I am just relieved that it is over, and that the characters are out of sight, out of mind. Cheng Yi and Zhang Yu Xi kept the drama flowing, even when it dragged with the singing and evilness on screen. Cheng Yi is the official Melodrama King. Yunshen suffered physically and emotionally, and cried in two-thirds of the drama, Fu Yunshen would have lived a happy life with a different mother. Zhang Yu Xi is Main Lead Queen of the Month. Zhu Jiu put up with a lot of sh^& from Mother Jiang Shu Ning.
This should be labeled as a musical melodrama. The singing was extraneous, overt and repetitive. If the director wanted so much singing, he should have told the actors to sing these songs, instead of using phantom singers. Otherwise the BGM was very good.
It was no surprise that the two pathetic villains, Fu Xi Zhou and Jiang Shu Ning, had their redemption at the end. They were unscrupulous, vindictive, manipulative. They should have died instead of the nicer people, Grandpa, Dr Ji, Aunty Dr Addy, Grandma, Zhu Jiu's Mother and Father. I was cringing when Ruan Ruan and Xi Zhou reunited at the end, and had babies.
The singing diluted the emotion on screen. If they had trimmed the singing and some of the episodic content, it would have been very effective as a 30 episode drama.
Final rating: 8, with deductions for the singing and the pathetic villains and their evilness
This drama reminds me of the Kdramas with the drama plot and incessant singing and the song quality. In particular, Yunshen and Zhu Jiu reminded me of Winter Sonata's YuJin and Joon Sang, with their emotional torture and the manipulative mothers.

AGAINST ALL ODDS
I would say this is refreshing for me because, after watching many CDramas, I started to realize that most have the same story line but are delivered in different ways by different actors. If not a marriage contract, it's Cinderella with a child or children or a CEO falling in love with a poor girl. This drama was another kind. It has a touch of the old arranged marriage culture of parents but didn't succeed. Thank God. A story of two people in love facing all the odds surrounding them—people and situations—and how many times the ML got hurt where people around him intended to hurt him, and the character of a father's shortsightedness and how he blames people who helped him.I like how their love story developed from their first meeting. The second meeting was more emotional, but it was where you understood how love should be shared between two people despite the odds. They are always ready to be there for each other. For better or worse. The chemistry between the two main leads was awesome. Incomparable. They convey their emotions naturally. I love watching these two lead actors because they tend not to overact their acting. Control and timing are their forte. Zhang Yuxi is very good at conveying her emotions. In her crying scenes, she does not need to howl to show how hurt she is. She is good at acting her hurt simply, but you can feel her emotions. The ending was not very grand, as some expected it to be the typical ending with wedding bells, bridal march, and all. The ending talks about them—simple people who are both in love and just want to spend their time together quietly and simply. Overall, it was good. Minimal criticism, for me, does not need to be mentioned because it is not important.

Cheng Yi lives!
If you've watched other Cheng Yi works (you should), this is a showcase to his talent for sublety of expressions, and a refreshing opporunity to see him play playful-- as most often he is at his best portraying angst--which this show is just about ridiculously too much of for character--but he finally gets a happy ending--without the addition of an extra episode to give you an alternate ending (tho'-chuckle, he still has to wait a long time to get there!). What was also different as a story was that there was no inherently evil villian but otherwise it is trope heavy in regards to weal and woe., so if you can't stand that, you might not like this work.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Something a miss
Watch this of course for Cheng Yi & Zhang Yu Xi 2nd drama. Again the best part of pick the old partner is no more awkwardness between the actor/ess.Really want to like this drama. After everything that Fu Yun Shen (YS) & Zhu Jiu (ZJ) go through here. But in the end something feel a miss when they close the curtain. I really hope we get extra/special/ a little more episode to make this drama more perfect or ending with better note.
What i like:
+ the chemistry between Cheng Yi & Zhang Yu Xi. Feel like reunite 2 old friend.
+ my 2 fav old actor & actress, Paul Chun & Cao Cui Fen. Play as grandma & grandpa for our ML & FL.
+ all the hardship in YS & ZJ relationship only to make their bond stronger over time.
+ after everything that happen in FU family, in the end family still family. And as always, blood is thicker then water play a big role here.
What a miss:
The ending.... I don't know feel like they push fast forward button in the end. Everything wrap so fast we don't have time to swallow properly. Really hope they prolong the ending & shorten the middle part. Cause sometimes the middle part feel a little bored & it's like they prolong some scene....
Overall this quite good drama to watch...

average drama. If it was shorter it may get better
South Wind Knows (2023) -8/10 cdramathis drama feels like very long story split to about ten story arcs. Aside from quite nice chemistry between main leads I enjoyed just about 2 story arcs from whole drama.
to explain it little more main story of ML and FL romance is there, but there is always something what changes, for example they separate for some reason and they meet at different place with different background story + very often these separation or change is story are very Makjang style, cause of characters making dumb decisions.
plot - FL is doctor, ML is silver spoon researcher for pharmaceutical company. Both leads meets in an underprivileged region while working and finds feelings for each other.
genre - romance

I don't usually write bad reviews because i think its a lot of work to produce a series. But this one was one of those dramas i was anticipating for a long time now and i was extremely disappointed!! Lets start with the cast, both the FL and ML are my favorites and tbh one of the main reason i watched this drama was because of ML. I loved his acting in love and redemption. Both the leads did a great job in portraying the character but their chemistry was lacking.
The story on itself is hard to explain. You know how in kdrams usually the 13th episode has some tragedy and in chinese drama its usually the 20th episode but this drama on the whole felt like those episodes. Through out the drama the ML gets soo many injuries and faces near death experiences. The ML's family is soo messed up and the whole drama revolves around plotting and ML's accidents
There was no character development whatsoever!! The main leads chemistry reaches its peak around 10 or 11th episode after which they get stagnant. As for the ML's brother and his girlfriend i had soo much expectations but they have little to no chemistry after the first few episodes.
In conclusion i wouldn't recommend this drama. But, if u wanna watch then watch first few episodes then skip to the final coz u wouldn't be missing out on anything. I only stuck around for the cast and hope sincerely that the script writer will write his next drama while he is awake

will Yu Chen be able to walk again?
this drama is a very great drama, its very eventful so you will not feel ‘draggy’ or boring.on episode eleven, YunShen got into a car accident and became a cripple since then. However, after going through a period of hard time, ZhuJiu manage to completely heal him.
AND
unlike other annoying dramas where the FL got scared of the Mother in Law and decided to give up on the relationship, here YunShen and ZhuJiu are very honest and holds on to the relationship.
Yes there are a lot of annoying character in this drama (especially YunShen’s mother) but it is still bareable imo :)
