is this a joke?

Nothing to complain abt acting, but the plot is so immature, like a high-schooler's diary. Everything seems to take place in the family's living-room... It must be very low budget! Conveniently the ML gets paired with the adopted sibling, and the real sibling falls for the only family friend and also business partner. Just a drama abt 4 people! Not to mention they are all rich & famous, after rising from rags due to being genius or something! The ML becomes an IT graduate and businessman as an orphan while raising two younger siblings. The adopted brother is also a top student. The "dumb" sister becomes a well-known actress over night etc. The setting for this is literally an average house, too big to be realistic as an orphans' house, and too small for 3 accomplished adults.
Some side actions and characters are unnecessary, like the handsome doctor and the second fight with the gangsters.
This mini drama is saved by the excellent actors - special mention to the child actors!
Just watching out of boredom.

packed with tropes

I've just started to watch this despite the series being kinda old... And i gotta say it's more like a teens' thing.
Totally - and i mean TOTALLY - unrealistic and packed with tropes! Just saying, we have Cinderella, then her secret adorer - played by the ever so excellent Chris Wu, then here comes the troubled, traumatic Prince Charming, acting like the bad boy who just awaits a gentle loving soul to tame him... And of course he is not just misunderstood, but also rich, showing up in a Porsche! No doubt, the poor orphan piano-lover Cinderella will be the object of dispute for the two handsome male leads, for being so irresistibly pretty and innocent and kind-hearted - right??
Watching this as a filler, feel free to recommend me anything.

Not for me

I came to watch this expecting something mind-blowing based on the excellent reviews, but i was put off from the very beginning... Something about cinematography is weird, cheap-looking, maybe the filming technique or video quality or the fashion style - better say, lack of it. The actors didnt look appealing to me, very plain faces and even plainer skills. Even the plot didnt seem to add up.
Dropped at episode 2, after skipping to get there, and dont intend to pick it up any time soon.
