Extremely refreshing story about the realities of family dynamics.
Caution: it is slow paced and don't go in expecting romance to be the centre
The writing is beautiful, it's slow but makes sure that you get to know the characters. While each character has traits that are highlighted, they are not one dimensional. As the audience you get to see how their strength can also become their weakness. How human these characters are.
The male lead is so deeply flawed because of how he grew up. I didn't think he would redeem himself in my eyes. But by the end I obviously loved everything I hated about him like how scheming and fierce he is. And I absolutely loved the strong female leads, I think it was just that much easier for me to get attached to Chenghuan. She is determined and holds up to her values, foolishly. Reminds me of Itaewon Class.
I geniunely felt for the characters, the actors did an amazing job. Especially Yang Zi, as the female lead! Her portrayal was so well done in this drama, got me crying by episode 9! There were too many moments where I felt like I was right there with the characters.
I feel like we got to through the rollercoaster of emotions with the FL when it came to her mum. I could see myself in her. Being nagged by mom, having boundaries crossed and yet loving her more than anything in this world.
This one so beautiful portrayed how complicated family can be. I geniunely recommend it!
