I watched the first four episodes and it’s actually been pretty good. Tong Yao really fits the role and her character turned out to be a lot stronger than I thought. At first I thought she’d be the typical helpless stay-at-home mum in cdramas who’s willing to sacrifice all her dignity for her family but she fights back for her principles & values. Maggie Jiang is slightly awkward in the role (as she normally tends to be in most dramas). Mao Xiao Tong is doing well, she always cries quite naturally!
I find Maggie Jiang & Mao Xiao Tong’s characters more relatable in terms of their views on marriage & career and their personalities. But Tong Yao’s my favourite so far (even if I can’t really relate to her situation). The amount of fake and stuck-up b*tches she has to deal with lol…
Anyhow, the drama is off to a good start!
