Am I finally getting into chinese dramas? :o But honestly, Handsome Siblings was amazing. Is it the most perfect, mind-blowing story out there? No, not at all. It's also not the best written drama. But was it super enjoyable and am I glad that I watched it? Hell yes!
The execution of the story was very good and the pace was also quite nice. Of course you have to be patient if you decide to watch it, because what's written in the synopsis happens somewhere in the middle of the drama and that's when the main story starts. But despite this fact, the first half was also very intriguing and fun to watch and I actually liked it more than the second. In the second part of the drama there were some draggy episodes, especially around episode 30-35. That wasn't much of a problem though.
Now, even though the plot was quite nice and the story was very exciting to watch, I think what shines the most in this drama are the characters. Xiao Yuer is perhaps one of the best written characters I've ever encountered during all these three years of watching dramas. He was undeniably very smart, witty, cunning, funny and kind-hearted beautiful man who could decieve literally everyone. His tricks never failed to amaze me. He was just a very good and entertaining character to watch and he made the drama 1000x times better, not gonna lie. He had his bad and good sides, he was far from perfect and that's why we all love him! Hua Wu Que, unlike his twin Yuer, is simply a kind-hearted and naive man who actually fights brilliantly. Being smart, diligent and graceful, Wu Que was very easy character to like (especially with this handsome face). Jiang Yu Lang, though... Omg, I'm speechless, I don't know what to say about him. He was just comical and ridiculous af! Honestly, ever action of him was so stupid, so pathetic that it make me laugh so hard! His epxressions were so on point, I want to congratulate the director for choosing the perfect actor for this role!
The drama has some very interesting females though. Most of the women in it were very bitchy lol, that isn't a bad thing though. I love my girls Zhang Ging and Murong Jiu. Yao Yue, who is the biggest villian in the drama, was also very cool. Of course she was horrible as a character, very pathetic if you ask me BUT I liked her. I think her character was well-written and the actress did a brilliant job portaying such awful human. Su Ying was also a nice character although I didn't really care about her that much.
Tie Xin Lan though... girl, what was the point of your character? Okay, in the first half you had some kind of a story, but after that? She was so bland, so stupid, stubborn for no reason, she was just useless. I don't know, I simply didn't like her.
The acting was pretty good. Chen Zhe Yuan did a PHENOMENAL job portraying Xiao Yuer! He's such a talanted boy and I really hope that he'll get more good roles in the future (bc I'll definitely follow his projects). Hu Yi Tian was fine, slightly wooden at times and not that good at emotional scenes but overall, decent job. Vicky Liang wasn't very good in my opinion though, her acting wasn't convincing at all, quite expressionless but her character was boring so who could blame her? Liang Jie was adorable as Su Ying, she looks so smol tho lol I thought she was a teenager but then I checked her age and realized that she's older that Zhe Yuan... yelp. Of course Zhou Jun Chao was amazing as Yu Lang, I don't think I'll be able to watch him in something else without seeing Jiang Yu Lang in him lol.
The music though!!! 10000/10! 44 episodes and I never skipped the opening or the ending! Such beautiful songs which perfectly suit the atmosphere of the drama. They just made me even more excited lol.
Overall, Handsome Siblings is a very good pick if you want to watch something not too serious but not too light either. Just a simple story with some endearing characters, very strong bromance, light romance and good acting. I also recommend it to people who are just getting into chinese historical dramas, I think this would be the right choice for you because it was for me. I'll miss this amazing show for sure!
