Nice story development

What I really liked was the attention to detail in the styling. I felt it accurately matched the time period and they even went as far as to darken the skin tones of the characters so as to reflect the harsh conditions of rural farming.

Story-wise, it has its share of twists and turns, and that’s why it’s called 人生之路。 Mistakes are made, hearts are broken, life happens.

I feel that Li Qin acted very well in this. Her “never say die” attitude was convicing, as well as her love for the ML & 2ML.

I actually liked how the directors chose to pair the leads, it makes it realistic that there is no perfection in life and you may not necessarily end up with the person you thought you would. The person you actually end up with could have been the better one for you after all. I also felt that the ending was satisfactory, after all that the ML had been through.

A great tale about friendship and rallying

At first, I was a little confused by the dual personalities and put this drama on hold for a while. By episode 3, it gets easy to understand. Hu Xian Xu's acting in this drama was commendable. He portrayed Zhendong and Zhang Chi's personalities distinctly well. Wang Yanlin, Adi Kan, and He Xiang also acted very well. I enjoyed the camaraderie of Speeding Team very much, and the OST was pretty good as well.

I really liked the friendship between Zhendong/Xi Ting and Zhendong/Li Aoduo/Ai Fei. As a rookie racer and introvert, Zhendong made true friendships of his own too and it was nice to see those develop (unlike his best friend who thought he knew Zhendong SO well *cough*).

I just finished watching this a couple days ago and sat on this review for a while as I was a little stumped by the ending. Some other reviewers felt that 28 episodes was quite short, hence the "abrupt" ending. Personally, I felt that some flashback scenes in particular were a bit draggy, and that 28 episodes was well enough to convey the story. Therefore I feel that the ending was purposely abrupt which stumped me a bit at first.

I am actually okay with the ending now as on hindsight, through that long dream, Zhang Chi got a taste of what life would have been like if he could have a do-over. Some fates were inevitable (like breaking his leg) and others were successfully changed (like his relationship with Xiao He). Though it's a little sad regarding him and Xiao He at the end, I think the big thing that Zhang Chi took away was the great friendships that he had and his love for rallying (he did still retain the championship cup afterall). Life will go on and Zhang Chi has that to be happy with.

New to Cdrama? This one's great as a first watch!

I went into this drama not expecting much, but I was floored by how good everything was.

The story explores the lives of FL & ML's high school years, uni years, and working life. The 24 episodes were SO well paced, I never got bored at any of the stages.

Acting-wise, FL & ML had great chemistry together, and FL, for her first-ever drama, acted exceptionally well. She was very likeable, perfect for the role, and her expressions were spot on! I also liked the casting of many of the secondary characters, like Qiu Yan, Shen Wen Yue, and Huai Wu.

Stuff I didn't really like:
-The final wedding scene. Ugh, it was so anti-climatic!
-The FL's best friend and her r/s

Final thoughts: A very cozy and well-paced drama to watch!

Overall satisfied with this drama

I'm not usually one to be able to last through a 40 episode drama, but this drama managed to keep me going from episode to episode. It's one that focuses on career, sacrifices, and personal growth.

I quite enjoyed the workplace politics/drama in this one, they keep the episodes interesting. I really like the supporting cast in this series (particularly Ada Liu!). The relationship between FL and her superiors are interesting. The FL & ML don't have great chemistry together, but it's still watchable and true to the plot. I would say, the 2 secondary relationships were developed quite well. I think it's very interesting too, that they included a young housewife character re-entering into the workforce.

Overall, would recommend this modern drama. :)

Give this webdrama a chance, it picks up greatly from Ep 6!

I stumbled upon this drama by chance, and didn't expect to like it so much! It's worth watching for twelve 45-min episodes!

The build up is quite slow at the beginning, but from Ep 6, the content picks up a lot and the romances between FL & ML were great to watch!

I think the FL was well-chosen for the lead. She pulled off the strong female CEO vibe well, and was able to be gentle and soften up too to show her growth. ML's boyish look and introverted demeanor was a good contrasting match for the FL. :)

The 2FL & 2ML's relationship was also really funny and nice to watch. :D They both have fun personalities.

If the ending weren't as confusing or have the loopholes which exist (so, what exactly was real and what wasn't?), I think this drama could have scored higher. Thankfully, it is still a happy ending. :)
