Other than the expected romantic relationships, there are friendships (esp on man to man buddy for life between Shiyue and Chang Jianxiong), boss with co-workers and among colleagues of Future Up, family members of Nanqiao (esp on father-daughters and even mention of mother-son between Nanqin and Zhenghao and issue on aging!), 'debtors'-'creditors (not just monetary per say but being life indebted and faithful to 'jianghu' aka the underworld sorta relationships), grief relationships with the dead person, and even trying to inject how we can be connected through animals! I though it was a nice play on the whole vet shop and relating to the 3 dogs of Shiyue (little things reinforcing faithfulness and kinships theme). This drama tried to have good coverage of all kinds of relationship stories for all the characters featured in it. We all have relationships from the past that somehow stretched to present life - good or bad regardless, these past relationships made us who we are now.
To me, this the drone business is a refreshing point in this drama.įor this drama, I see the key theme as focusing on human intertwined relationships. For me, the drama made the drone business sounds rather compelling and for something techie like this, it was not too complex for audience to grasp the business matter depicted in the drama. Overall, I actually find the drama quite enjoyable to watch, given the story plot with background on business setting, which in many dramas either made redundant as supporting environment for the characters or become too boring with all the talks on business and power politic stuff. Rewatch Value 5.0 Before you get yourself started with this drama, you have to prepare yourself to go through with the endless flashbacks in every single episodes. 40 episodes are big commitment but once you are into the drama, I don't think it would itch you any more. I certainly didn't get bored of watching it atleast. It was nothing extraordinary but you would enjoy it. On the side note I actually kinda liked this drama. I swear people just watch this show for the fabulous him. I don't usually re-watch Chinese drama coz they're super long like this one, but I might re-watch some episodes of this again to see all the muscle and dimple of William Chan. Anyone would enjoy the music of this drama. The opening theme, the ending theme by William Chan himself and all the other OST's were good. All the other characters, their development with the story and their acting was on point except for the few minor ones which could be ignored. I even enjoyed watching the obsessive An Ning too, maybe because she was not THAT cruel or messed up as other evil second female leads. Actually I enjoyed all the women characters of this drama. Main girl is a strong independent and quite a cool woman.
My greatest discovery in C-dramas ever! It is going to be difficult to get over him for a while coz he's such a good actor! The drama was nothing great but the acting was superb by everyone especially the two leads. Chinese dramas are master at leaving plot-holes and Only side by side with you wraps up every story quite well. Story was kind of a cliche but they didn't leave any plot-holes in it so I am giving an extra point to the story for that. Brace yourself people coz there are innumerable same flashbacks in every episode. However, one thing that really iritated me in this drama was flashbacks. Obviously the first negetive mark for this drama starts with the unnecessary 40 episodes but I guess once you get the kick out of it, you won't mind it anymore. Only side by side with you is relatively a good drama. Some might like it and others would find it boring with unnecessary flashbacks. Rewatch Value 7.0 This is the kind of a drama which I must say is "to each their own".
