Every sad gaze from him conveys those unspoken words and sadness, and digs deep into the viewers’ hearts. Song Weilong fits the Ling Xiao character to perfection. With few words, he gives the feeling that he has thousands words that are hidden and cannot be spoken. Song Weilong always has that look of sadness with a heavy burden locked between his brows. Ling Xiao is a neighbor living with a divorced father above Li Jianjian’s apartment. The only times he beams up and smiles are when he sees Li Jianjian, that's when the sun comes out, everything seems to become normal again. Ling Xiao (Song Weilong) is a deeply broken and tormented boy who goes through unthinkable tragedies and sadness. Tan Song Yun’s acting simply awes the viewers. At her actual age of 30, she is so convincing, transforming into an innocent 15 year-old teenager and then growing up into a 25 year-old sculptor. She is so versatile that she can take on any roles and ace them. Tan Song Yun’s acting renders me speechless. The period of them living together as teenagers attending high school is perhaps my fondest moments watching this drama. Li Jianjian, like her father Li Haichao, is kind, tactful and compassionate with a sharp wit and mouth. Li Jianjian (Tan Song Yun aka Seven Tan) is a tomboy who enjoys the love and pampering from her 2 adopted brothers, growing up and doing everything together with them including sleeping on the same bed. He’s one of the most loved characters in the story. He has a calm and compassionate demeanor that would attract anyone, never assuming nor judgmental. Tu Song Yan’s acting is one of the best – natural, believable and lovable. His love is unconditional and his favorite thing to do is to cook meals for his 3 children.

He teaches the children to critical think for themselves, and how to stand up when fallen. He is very open minded and compassionate. Li Haichao (Tu Song Yan), an owner of a small noodle shop, has a very different view in parenting. Their love for each other is pure and not tainted by anything. Their relationship is heartwarming and enviable. Everything they do, they do it together, and they do it for her (with a lesser extent, for their adoptive father). She is their sun and the center of their universe. The children grow up together the boys become the big brothers for his daughter, pampering and protecting her. All of them have one thing in common: they do not have mothers. Go Ahead is a story about a widower who single-handedly raises his own daughter and two other boys who are entrusted to him.

We can definitely identify ourselves with at least one of the characters here. It captures almost all human elements that we may have encountered, one way or another, in our own lives. It helps us see deeper into ourselves and reflect. It shows us the things we may have neglected in our own lives ourselves and things that we have taken for granted. In the journey, the story explores compassion and indifference, self-esteem and fear, abandonment and adoption, cheerfulness and depression. The characters are realistic, relatable and inspiring. It takes, including love, patience, sharing, compassion, understanding, empathy, courage, among others, to build a truly tightly knitted family and home, going through life and living together. This is a story about family and what it takes to be a family – not wealth, not blood, not even just love alone. The brilliant story telling has made this one of the best dramas I’ve ever watched. Right after I cry, I’m given a candy that makes me laugh out loud. I cry not because of any tragic events but because of the moments, the actions, the relationships and dialogues of the characters that are so moving, and they touch every chord in my heart. It is happy and enjoyable, and yet every episode makes me cry.

Most Endearing Drama of All Time This is one of the very few dramas that explores our human nature, our interpersonal relationship and its intricacies, in great depth.
