I haven’t seen something this wholesome in a while
Okay, so I’ll start by saying I’m not even half way through the drama but I love it so much. The acting is amazing specially from the main leads the little kid is adorable. I love them all including all the side pairings. They all have their cutesy cringe moment and I live for this.My only problem thus far is the pervert office worker, the way they just gloss over everything he has done. Why have they permitted that pervert to still work there thus far is beyond me giving how gross he is. Every women is in danger around him and he bullies his subordinates. That is enough reason to fire this dude but that’s just me i guess…
So other than that I think this drama is amazing and if you’re thinking about watching it please do so it’s just so wholesome I’m sure you will enjoy it!

This drama definitely earned it’s place in my top favorites
I adored everything about this drama. It healed a part of me that i didn’t even know existed. (Crying in mommy and daddy issues 🫣😂 haha just kidding..) I absolutely recommend this if you want to watch something wholesome while laughing and crying tears of joy. Their little boy made the drama 10 times better and definitely stole the spotlight. I love them so much and was never bored not even for a second (coming from someone who dropped most of the dramas she started) I absolutely adore them. I finished this in 3 days. 10/10 for sure.Was this review helpful to you?
meh
hi this was okay. but showing that i finished it it means it’s good enough lol. i hated how they kept throwing so many obstacles between the two. but i did enjoy their romance w xinqi pining over her etc. i didn’t like when he was so mean to her. and the whole backstory of them. but quan quan was so freaking cute what a good little actor lol. got boring at the end the middle was the best i would have to say. i skipped all the side couple things … they’re like rly cringy idk esp in cdrama… idk why… i also skipped all the guanchao parts too… whateverWas this review helpful to you?

Mixed Bag of Romances
I truly enjoyed the main romance of this show. The leads had excellent chemistry together and their romantic relationship progressed naturally as they learned to co-parent together. The child actor playing their son was absolutely adorable and precocious! He should have had way more screen time in later episodes, but he is often not present as the story focused on the workplace drama. Speaking of the workplace drama, the overall story arc and message was positive. It can be challenging watching a story about sexual harassment and misconduct in the workplace, particularly if you have experienced it. Min Hui was inspirational, and her teaching other women to stand up to workplace abusers was beautifully executed. It did drag on too long, but I blame the episode count.My biggest complaint are the side romances - neither were interesting or integral to the story. Which is not to say I didn't enjoy their characters. The addition of Min Hui's found family in Zhou Ruji and Cao Mu brought a certain amount of credibility to the story of a young career woman raising a child, particularly one with heart issues. Their friendship and love for Min Hui and Min Quanquan was enough for me. Rather than padding out so many episodes with their individual love stories, I wish we had spent more time with the core family.

....meh.....
For a romance, this was very... lackluster.I'd have loved to give everything a solid five; nothing too good, nothing too bad, nothing to stand out in any way.
But the actors did do a good job, so I decided to be fair and give them their due rating.
The main plot is nothing new:
Girl and boy meet, fall in love, have a misunderstanding, break up.
Meet again, still mad, revenge, blah-blah-blah, reconcile, live happily ever after.
This one added a cute son into the mix, but, again, that's not entirely new either.
I think they didn't do enough with the story.
For me, I love romances, and I'll rewatch the same tired plot again and again, as long as the story is well-written and the characters are engaging. This show flopped on both counts. Story was weak, as were the characters.
You have adults acting like kids, the so-called 'Warren Buffet of China" (the show's words, not mine) behaving like a five-year-old throwing a tantrum, and a strong, smart woman who can't find the words to communicate properly when it matters the most.
A whole entire mess.
I loved the son; he was adorable.
My second favorite character of the show was Cindy, the sister. A total scene stealer IMO.
The chemistry of the main couple was, like everything else, meh. I'd give it a five. No spark, no sizzle. Close friends or a twenty-year married couple. Those were the vibes I was getting.
One good thing was that the "great reveal" happened pretty early in the show, getting us into the meaty part of the story.
But!! In exchange, the first few episodes seemed to repeat the same scenarios over and over again using different dialogue. Just repetitive as hell, taking us nowhere. And the last few episodes? Threw in unnecessary drama just for the heck of it. Maybe to draw out the show a bit longer? Anyway. I had to push myself to finish this. I watched the last eight episodes on fast speed.
Music was okay.
I guess if you have nothing better to do and want something light to take up your time then try it? But I wouldn't recommend this if you have something better on hand, and I won't be rewatching this.
Ending: HEA, for those who want to know. <3

LOVE AND FAMILY COME TOGETHER
Absolutely loved this series. Love these two lead actors together, Yu Wen and Zi Qi’s chemistry is just fantastic. Loved that this is already their 2nd drama as couple! I love how this is kind of a continuation of Once We Get Married- cos they literally have a son here.The boy playing their son, Quan Quan is so adorable. Some of his lines where just From start to finish I was hooked!
Have watched several times. Hope they make more series together.

filled with excitement, cute romance.
My goodness.. i love this drama so much because you know, it's just PERFECT (ofcourse nothing is perfect not even their own story) yet i love their story, it really touches your heart.The Actors and actresses. They act SO GOOD its very natural that i didn't even think it was a DRAMA/FILM.i love all the actors/actresses. Specially My cute lil hero Cui Yi Xin ( Min Quan Quan )
While watching, i was like thinking that i'm literally inside the drama too, it just flowed smoothly.
This production was so nice. I'll root for the actors and actresses of this drama.

Really enjoyed this rom com
I've watched several cdramas now and this by far is one my favoriteIt has all the sweetness and emotions played well by all the different couples.
It has real life issues, complications and playfulness: Harassment, power plays, marriage, sacrifice, motherhood/fatherhood, meaning of family, custody
The female characters are portrayed well with strong character.
The FL character is so strong and able to sacrifice so much for her son and the one she loves
The ML is playful and plays his character well coming from an abandoned background to a wealthy adoptive family overseas.
REally like the BFF of the FL lead and the sister! They were both portrayed well! Strong yet loving!
The son has great lines and says them well! He really steals the show!
And the ending is a good wrap up, not like some of them where the ending leaves feeling jilted or not complete.
Lastly, the scene where they show the other cdrama our FL & ML were in is so comical! Writer has good sense of humor

Maybe my expectation was too high
I was waiting for this drama since the first rumor it came out after watching Once We Got Married. I really love ther chemistry between Wang Wang Couple that's why I expected a lot in this drama. First couple of episodes started decent, but the graph soon gets lower and lower through the new episodes. At first I could watch it without fast forwarding, then I fast foward a little, then I only skimmed the episodes. I skipped the other CPs since I didn't really care about them. To be honest, QuanQuan really carried the show. The plot was cliche but I really hoped they could execute it better. The drama didn't really make the viewers get invested. It was flat and boring and I just don't feel it even though I am trying to like it. Really wish it could be better.Was this review helpful to you?

Skip!
I just cannot believe that this drama has received 10/10 reviews praising the writer for the plot, incredulous. Having a silly, unrealistic setting in romantic comedies is perfectly normal, but to at least some extent the writer should respect the audience. Here not only are there at least 2 completely intolerable plot points, but also in the second half the plot is very jittery with no respect for logic.In my review of 'Love is Sweet' I wrote that the OTP romance is good and everything else is trash. In 'The Love You Give Me' that statement not only holds up, but also even the romance is not nearly as good, but the annoying things are perhaps even more annoying. The two side couple's stories are also not great..
To say something good about the show, at least the acting is on a high level across the board & the leads were very cute together, with very good chemistry. (and there were many times when I found that both leads had red ears during some of their scenes, I found that to be very cute) However this is not enough to save this drama. There are many fluffy scenes that I have enjoyed, with a decent amount of comedy, however this is not enough to save the drama, not even close. There is just too much push-pulling here, with the progress always stalling due to very arbitrary reasons. Even the final episodes hold some "fantastic" surprises to sour the cake for us.
Ah almost forgot, the child actor playing their kid was amazing..

Almost but not quite
I looked forward to this after watching once we get married. Their chemistry was perfect so the acting was delivered perfectly and naturally. Im quite disappointed with this new drama cause I wanted more focus on the main leads and their adorable kid. The side romances to me were unnecessary and didn’t help at all with the story being conveyed so I mostly skip the parts of the side couples. This doesn’t mean though that the characters are irrelevant. The best friend and the doctor could have just remained as support to the leads in a friendly and wholesome way.Was this review helpful to you?
