could’ve been a higher rating
i would’ve rated this higher if it wasn’t for the open ending 😭it left too many questions unanswered
the story is so intriguing because the plot is quite different than other dramas. the drama is beautifully shot and very cinematic with a good cast.
wish there is a second part or special episode that answers all the questiond i have. why did they reveal the twin at the end? who is the true mastermind? did she die? does she go back to gong residence? was shangguan really pregnant ?????????

Cdrama version SO MUCH better than Kdrama remake!!!
The story of this drama is different from typical dramas which is what intrigued me to look into this drama. I heard about the korean version “Family By choice” being a pretty popular kdrama, but after reading reviews, I found out there was a Chinese version called “Go Ahead” (the whole series is available on Youtube for free!)I HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching BOTH versions but to watch the Chinese version FIRST!!!!
Cdrama version is 40 episodes and the kdrama version is 16 episodes. Think about it… how can they condense 40 episodes into 16 eps?!
My initial reasoning was I didn’t want to spoil the ending for myself by watching a condensed version of the story first so i decided to watch the Chinese version then Korean version right after
Both dramas have the exact same story line with minor changes
Cdrama version PRO / Korean version CON: story building & humor
Chinese version focuses more on story building and the relationship between the female lead and her family, friends and most importantly the male leads (the brothers). The cdrama gives you more time to love each character
For example,in the Chinese version, both brothers decided on their careers based on their love for their sister but the Korean version lacks this. I think just the brothers’ career decisions alone shows their love for their sister WAY more than the korean version
Although the ending of the cdrama version fell a little flat in the last few episodes and had an ending i wasn’t expecting (since i watched it first), I think it depicted the story a lot better as the Korean version has too many cliche situations similar to other kdramas & had less the story building.
Korean version PRO / Chinese version CON: romance & casting
I think watching the Korean version AFTER will soothe your craving for the romance between the FL and main ML. The chinese version wasn’t AS focused on romance between the couple.
Kdramas are generally also better at casting attractive actor/actresses so it was definitely nicer eye candy. Attractiveness aside, I think the kdrama cast acted better than the cdrama cast
it was so easy to binge the whole 40 episodes of the cdrama version. However, I found myself unable to focus at times while watching the Korean version

the mom was too annoying
3.5 stars for xu kai’s good looks and yang zi’s acting. i typically don’t like yang zi’s acting because she always get roles for characters that seem stupid, air headed or weak/fake. This drama changed my mind and accepted her.HOWEVER the mom character is so freaking annoying. i wanted to drop it but i stuck til the end expecting the story to be more about the main couple. super disappointed and feel like a waste of time
this is my first time writing a review because i thought it was THAT bad.
