Reception
The drama received mixed to positive reviews. In China, ratings started out very strong but dropped significantly as the series went on. Many viewers did not enjoy 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 dog-blood (cheesy) drama with too many stereotypical tropes and were disappointed by the slow plot in the latter half of the series.[5] It ended with a rating of 6.9 on Douban.[3] Among international viewers particularly in Asia, the drama was a big hit and received generally positive reviews.
