When I finished the series, my first reaction was: Poor Mr. Yuan, he won’t have any grandchildren. Second reaction: Poor girl, he didn’t get any of the brothers. They don’t like her wares. Haha!

What’s memorable in this series is that kiss by the seaside. That was really picturesque.

The actors look good and acted well, too.

On the whole, I like the premise of the series, but in the end I found something lacking – even though the loose ends have been neatly tied up in the finale.

Like – that Evil Second Uncle in Episode 1. What ever happened to that plot line? Why did they put it there in the first place when it wasn’t even pursued? He was just gone from the series after the appearance!

Also, when the henchmen of Evil Second Uncle was running after Eldest Son Yuan, he accidentally bumped into Lin Xun, who turned out to be the “missing son” his father wanted them to find! That’s too much of a coincidence, I think. Does it mean that the Evil Second Uncle and Lin Xun live near each other? Seems contrived, this scene.

Also, why did Youngest Yuan get mad at his bestie when he (bestie) told his sister that he (Youngest Yuan) was a f*ckboy – when he doesn’t even want his bestie’s sister? Obviously, bestie said this to his sister just to get her off Youngest Yuan’s back. That reaction was eyebrow raising to me. Another contrived plot device to reach that “I can’t live without you” line.

I also think the actor who played the Youngest Yuan was miscast. He’s too white for the role. The actor who played his bestie looks more like a Yuan. They should have changed roles.

Little things like those made this series made the series lose points for me. Initially, I thought this will get a 9 or 9.5 from me, but in the end… it got only an 8. Too bad, because it looked so promising at the beginning. If even had the potential to be a perfect 10 BL. But, alas, it was not.
