I've never been a fan of Yang Zi and it took me a long time to give this drama a chance. I ended up loving the cast, both the romance and the friendship between the different characters. However, "Go Go Squid!" could have been a lot better if the hours of flashback scenes were condensed. They took too much time during the first half of the drama, and all that angst didn't really pay off. Even if the past of Team Solo had to be explained and was important to this, the heart of the story was the present of K&K and the relationship between Tong Nian and ShangYan, all those flashbacks especially during the first 14 episodes could discurage anyone from keeping on watching.
If you have the patience, however, the story only gets better with time. The boys in K&K will catch your heart, Yang Zi and Li Xian are adorable in together, and the family relationships (Solo and his daughter, Tong Nian's family, ShangYan, Wu Bai and grandpa) will keep you with a smile in the face.
