Xiehou Ta de Shaonu Shidai

I don't really write reviews on here often but since this show doesn't have many (only 3 at the time of writing this), I figured I'd throw my two cents in.

This blew my expectations out of the water.

I watched this show originally because I saw a clip going viral on Twitter where Xue, the protagonist's girlfriend/love interest, was doing full on tekken combos on him. What I got in return was a heartfelt show about the inevitability of death, and how you really should treat your parents better.

Death isn't fun. But it's something that everyone has to face at one point. And if, in the ... end, you can say you spent your life well, helping & loving those around you, then it'll all be ok.

Please watch this show. It is genuinely a masterpiece and shouldn't be slept on like it currently is. I loved every moment spent with these characters and this world, and I hope it gets more attention.

Contains mild spoilers!!!

I finished this donghwa and was curious if there would be a sequel, so I read a bit of the end of the manhwa, I was surprised because the ending was different. The important point of the branching ending occurs when the contract is continued or canceled, in this donghwa the contract is canceled while in the manhwa the contract is continued, so the ending will definitely be different.

For the story, this donghwa has many moral messages and is very worthy to watch, it will be even more fun if watched with family.

I give it 9/10 overall because this donghwa really deserves it.

It starts with an interesting idea that catches attention, but the story quickly loses focus. Random side plots keep showing up just to keep the main story going, and it’s easy to tell this comes from a manga/manhua that adds new twists each week to stay popular. These extra plots don’t make the story better—they just make it messy.

What could have been an engaging narrative turns into a sequence of fleeting distractions. For those seeking a lighthearted, lovey-dovey, “switch your brain off” family drama, it might serve as easy entertainment. For anyone looking for strong writing or a cohesive story, it’s simply not worth the ... praise.
