Good beginning but slows down

I genuinely loved this drama in the beginning. I like that it was different from other romance dramas and it was more family oriented about a non traditional family. However, it quickly turned into other C-dramas half way through and it just got too awkward! I managed to finish but by the last few episodes, I was starting to fall asleep from boredom. The story just dragged on and on even though we all knew what was going to happen anyway. The overall acting is great especially from the father character. His character was very well written and I love that it was very non traditional from other C-drama characters. The children were also brilliantly cast.

One of the best

This is hands down one of the best dramas from TVB. TVB often has those ridiculous dancing and singing segments in their dramas even the serious ones when they should only be in variety shows. This has none of that and focuses on the story instead of putting in those unnecessary segments. There are a couple of cringe-y moments (it is TVB after all), but it has a lot less than other dramas. There are no "cheesy" scenes that are often seen in Asian dramas. The lead characters are equally brilliant and the chemistry is off the charts. They are perfectly written where they balance each other out perfectly and hats off to Sheren Tang and Wayne Lai for playing these characters absolutely perfectly. The acting is fantastic from everyone including the supporting actors and actresses. The story takes off right away from episode 1 all the way to the end. The story could have done without the second lead characters to be honest. While I feel like the final few episodes could be even more intense than what it already is, this is definitely the best I have seen from Hong Kong dramas so I can't help but give this a 10. The music is a bit overused in some scenes but this is typical for most TVB dramas. I really like some of these OSTs. It is one of the only dramas that I can go back and still watch over and over again without getting bored. Even more progressive than dramas today ( over a decade later) with one of the strongest female characters ever created. Hong Kong dramas today do not even come close.
