I have high expectation on thisbon because of the synopsis. I can tell the synopsis is hooking everyone but nah... I felt betrayed.
The plot is quite slow, even though the main problem is introduce in the first page. Bao Bao's death and her parents grief and stuff. But the thing is, the story didn't tell about Bao Bao ( which I expect so much ) but it is more focused on Na and her parents. How they are not doing so well after losing their beloved son and the father getting a bit insane. Well, that just showing too much. I want to know more about Bao Bao, how's he is like, what happened to him before, what had he been through. But I didn't get it.
The storyline is just too plain. It's all about Na helping her parents to live a better life. Which I see that not a big deal, and how Na wants to learn more about her brother and didn't make much effort on it, and that's that. Honestly, I don't see any clear conflict that excites me to turn the page. I just read through and hoping for anything unique to happen.
Well at least, I learned how Asian parents really want their children to succeed in the academic really really much. So much pressure and that can lead to serious mental illness. That's the reality.
Rating : 2/5
