I saw a clip of Go Ahead on TikTok, which was when Jian Jian announced that she had gotten her first period. I was amused by the scene, and so i was already very eager to watch the Cdrama, but at that time I had never watched it before, so I added it to my list. I decided to start watching Cdramas after Hidden Love and remembered this drama. SWL is an extremely attractive man, and that pushed me to watch it even further. However, as much as I liked his show, I also hated it just as much. I was already aware that it was going to be an emotional rollercoaster, and it did bring out bowls of tears from me, but some things were just too annoying and overbearing for me too watch. I'm going to start off by saying what I enjoyed as I watched this show.

First off, I love Jian Jian's Dad. He is literally the best. The way he cares for the family even though he doesnt have a lot is just so comforting and heartwarming. I love the idea of the three of them being raised together and the whole idea of them being a family. It was also very fun to watch their interactions. It is unfortunate, though, that the bad things were more.

The characters all had mummy issues, with some being worse than the others. Whenever i watched Ling Xiao's scenes with his mom, i always cried. She was a terrible mother and, in my opinion, the most abhorred mother in both Cdramas and Kdramas. Her daughter died and she blames everyone in the family as if they also didn't lose their sister and daughter. I get that people go through loss and i understand what she was going through, but she never cared for Ling Xiao and it absolutely broke my heart. What also pissed me off was that Ling Xiao never expressed it properly to her. The woman literally abandons her son and walks back in expecting him to accept her with open arms. She hurt LX so much, and she never properly apologised for it, instead, she kept on playing the victim every single time. We saw ZQ let all his feelings out to his mom as well, but we just didnt get that for LX and it was very unfair.

After realising all the wrongs that she had done to LX, she tried to kill herself, abandoning them again. What was more annoying was that she had a daughter this time around, used her daughter to basically torment and force LX to relate with her and at the end of the day, didn't include her in her damned suicide letter. In all LX's moms role was over bearing and unrealistic and also very hypocritical.

The female lead was obviously older than them. Not saying that TSY didnt act well cause she did, but they could have picked someone cuter and younger. Many people may disagree with me, but Jian Jian didnt look good with Ling Xiao. It just looked very weird to me and as much as they tried to have chemistry, it was still very awkward to watch. Jian Jian also didnt really like Ling Xiao, we know this from when she tells her dad why she was going out with LX. It was so annoying cause eh genuinely loved her, but her feelings were so immature and shallow. When LX would want to touch her, she would shrug away and she also called him 'Older Brother' till the end which was so inappropriate. They just didnt feel like a couple to me at all.

There are other things that i also didnt like, but these are the most important. These things are also what maked the show even more interesting to watch. But it isnt something that i would rewatch. There arent any heart fluttering scenes imo. However, it ahs an amazing Plot and should be added to your watchlist as a cdrama watcher.
