    11 Stars!! Best drama I have ever seen..

    This drama touched my heart deeply. I felt emotions I have never felt before and fell in love with this wonderful family. Being both a child and parent and having a family that is not all blood related but just as much as a family as any other, I perhaps found this story even more meaningful. The acting was outstanding and the 5 main characters were so wonderful! The standout of course was Li Jianjian (Songyun Tan) who had something so endearing about her. She was cute, tender-hearted, feisty and so naturally loving and optimistic which was what her brothers both so needed, and her smile just made me smile. The three of them made me so jealous. What a unique and deep relationship they had that only they could really understand. Both brothers were also wonderful and the Li dad, well he just melted my heart. If we could all be such a wonderful parents and human beings! This child actors were brilliant too and so many of their moments broke my heart. Yes the ending could have been better and there is definitely potential for a second season but the first half of the drama deserved 10 starts on it's own! So many moments I will never forget and will enjoy again when I watch it again.

    Exceptional Acting and Compelling Story: 'Go Ahead' is a Must-Watch Drama of 2020

    The drama touches upon various themes such as family, love, friendship, and personal growth.

    The first half of the drama is mostly focused on their teenage years and showcases their individual struggles and growth. The second half focuses on their adult lives and how they navigate their careers, relationships, and families.

    The acting in "Go Ahead" is exceptional, and the chemistry between the lead actors is palpable.

    Overall, is a heartwarming and touching drama that explores the meaning of family, the power of love, and the importance of personal growth. The drama is well-paced, the acting is top-notch, and the storyline is engaging. I would highly recommend this drama to anyone who enjoys a good family drama with a touch of romance and comedy.

    An absolute delight to watch.

    It tells a unique story through characters we often see around us. Jianjian's father is human warmth personified, made stronger by his mate, ling Xiao's dad... and the trio themselves, well their relationship is simple and rooted in love but also complex as the shades of love evolve over the years.

    At it's core, it's about family, both broken and whole, and the kids who have their roots within these familial structures... Broken families break their children, only Xiao and Zi qui were lucky enough to find jianjian who was willing to pick up the pieces and put them together.

    Beautiful drama, definitely worth the hours.

    Unconditional love from a father

    This drama is all about family, love and friendship. A very typical drama that will melt your heart into pieces. The conflicts are actually quite simple, because it only involves between the families but it is seriously so tearjerker to me. I easily cry everytime they play the soundtrack and scenes about the parents are on screen LOL. At first, I don't really like the main female cast, because she seems too spoiled and everything must be about her while her two brothers have their own baggage. My favorite scenes are about the delicious food which look sooo on point, and of course I also admire the relationship between their dads and children, a father's unconditional love to his children. For additional point, I really love the soundtrack, I keep repeating it in my playlist.
