VI. Reception

The series was a hit, & was well received by audiences for its warm familial theme even though, it received mixed to positive reviews. The ratings started out very strong but dropped significantly as the series went on in China- the reason being the storyline of two so-called adoptive brothers suddenly falling in love with their biologically unrelated sister who they grew up with referring to it as a cheesy drama with too many stereotypical tropes &, were disappointed by the slow plot in the latter half of the series. It ended with a rating of 6.9 on Douban. Among international viewers particularly in Asia, the drama was a big hit and received generally positive reviews. It has gained the outstanding scores of 9.0 on Mydramalist, 8.6 on IMDB, 9.6 on Rakuten Viki &, 9.4 on iQiyi.
