Sigue Adelante (2020)

They messed up in the middle

I need to say that Go Ahead is definitely NOT a bad drama but despite loving some things, it disappointed me a lot in others too.

Good Points:
- The acting were VERY good and the OST is impeccable. I have to point out that Xincheng's acting was VERY good and I was really surprised by him! I had just seen Skate Into Love and I thought he was really good there but he definitely proved himself as an actor here.
- The drama starts very well. The characters are charismatic, there is chemistry and the family thing is very good.
- The main couple has a lot of cute scenes too.

Negative points:
- Ling Xiao's change: I understand that after everything he went through, it make sense that the character was going to undergo changes and I also understand that Jian Jian was his only happiness, but there were some moments that I felt that he imposed things on Jian Jian because he couldn't live without her. And this also made Jiang Jian's character lack a little because I couldn't feel that she had the same need and love that Ling Xiao had for her. Sometimes it felt…forced.

- Jian Jian's lack of romantic development: The fact that she kept calling Ling Xiao "Ling Gege" bothered me a lot because they were raised as brothers and that's why she called him that. But continuing to call Ling Xiao "Gege" seemed very strange. I also thought that in some scenes the way they treated each other was too similar to how they treated each other before, which it was weird because before they had like a brother and sister relationship but later they really liked each other as a couple so things should've change more.

- 40 episodes: I felt that the number of episodes dragged the drama A LOT and made it boring at some points.

- Rushed Ending: The redemption they gave to Ling Xiao's mother was too rushed and ended up not working for me. For a woman who was toxic to him the WHOLE DRAMA I expected them to develop her story better.

Anyway. Go Ahead is a drama that is indeed captivating and I understand why many loved it but at least for me some things were disappointing and irritated me and that's why it ended up not being a 10/10 drama.

Acting & Plot is Awesome

This is my first drama review. Lead Actress acting is so cute. I watched some of her dramas. But this is the best one of her. Both Male leads are super good looking. And their fathers are so kind. Up until now the story is good. This is really my first drama which contains this type of story.

Dad of the Year

This drama explores the best of the best of human nature but also the disgusting side. I just started this drama and already hooked. I did have to skip all the long dialogue of the nagging neighbors & relatives that feel the need to judge. Whole reason why I don't watch many modern C-dramas.

The dad who opens the noodle shop is a saint who end up taking care of 3 kids. Then there's the godfather cop who is also a great character as well.
I wish they spent a little more time on the little kids versions as they are all so adorable.

Its so sad that adult issues impacted the kids early on and as the kids grow you can see the personalities develop still overshadowed by the abandonment. I love how the 2nd brother helps the dad so much knowing how lucky he is to be raised by him.
The older brother is much more introverted that loves taking care of Jian Jian, the carefree hyperactive girl.
I love the personality dynamics of the three as they navigate through life and the changed feelings.
However I do wish the drama is more realistic in that none of them really went through relationships. The older brother is almost 30 and still zero relationship history.

Must skip characters:
ML 1 : Grandma
ML 1: CRAZY mom. TOXIC
ML 2 Little Older Bro: Biological butt dad
ML 2 Little Older Bro: Aunt <---- same lines every time
FL's smart GF: MOM <--- What's w/ these redic parents?
FL's pretty GF: MOM <---- not as many lines but not less annoying

As the story develops, you'll see the impact and hurt each person faces. There are so many great outstanding performances.
However the ending felt rushed. Side characters didn't wrap up their stories really. Could've used a few more episodes. This is where 40 episodes felt not enough for a change.

Don't Invest , not a Family Love drama... it's going to turn into a love triangle.

I was looking forward to this drama given that it had Seven Tan and SWL. But I was very disappointed despite enjoying the first five episode, because this drama is going to turned into a love triangle. It's so disturbing , it ruins the family plot that originally peaked my interested in this drama. I am so sad! The synopsis completely lied to me! I also find it strange that despite growing up together, they did not form that chemical bond in their brain, that most individuals will naturally form with their family members, making them unattractive to their sibling and parents.

Don't watch it if you are looking for a heart warming family drama.

Incest

I had to drop this drama. From episode 11 I came to understand that there was going to be a love triangle between three people who grew up as siblings. That feels totally wrong to me. The first 10 episodes were very interesting and I had never seen a drama like that before. It feels like a familiar everyday life. From the moment they grew up, their lives becamr boring. And why are the brothers trying to hide from Jiang Jian? Wtf I can't imagine my brother leaving for a few years and suddenly we falling in love like that. Disguting. People who see this as the best love story to ever exist need a brain check.

this drama is really a rolar coaster of emotions the three of them have a good chemistry and the acting is also quiet good before i thought that this drama is a jinx but after two episodes it was all cleared and it turned out to be fabulous i really recommend this drama because it is the story of three people who are not blood related but share a special relation this is worth watching................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
