A single divorced professor Shi Yi Jie hires 19 year old Xiao Fei to take care of his 8 year old daughter Yo Yo. This happens very accidentally when Xiao Fei meets Yo Yo and realizes that Professor Shi Yi Jie is so busy in his anthropology work, that he often neglects his focus on his daughter. We soon find out that it was 3 years ago when Xiao Fei was dumped his his school senior and bullied by his classmates, it was Shi Yi Jie who gave him some words of wisdom outside a gay bar that helped him. And this was eye's way of giving it back. Of course, the professor doesn't remember anything. Soon enough, both Yo yo and Shi Yi Jie get very used to having Xiao Fei around them and in their own unique ways both Shi Yi Jie and Xiao Fei start falling for each other. After a few hiccups and concerns they both decide to go for their love for each other, but Shi Yi Jie's ex-wife shows out of nowhere wanting to get back. She tries many dirty tricks, but thanks to stern determination of Shi Yi Jie and his feelings for Xiao Fei, he is very sure that he only wants his life with him. Thankfully, a very mature YoYo only strengthens their love bond.
There are so many good things about this show. The first episode was a little patchy, but things start to improve soon after. The way the relationship between Shi Yi Jie and Xiao Fei grows is very realistic and cute. Even though Shi Yi Jie is technically straight, one he realizes that he now loves Xiao Fei, there is no confusion in him. He is sure he loves the boy and no amount of worrying about what college would say, their age difference or even just his sexuality would do for him stops him. He is determined to love Xiao Fei and goes full force. In one of a very important scenes he even approaches eye's mother asking for her permission to date Xiao Fei, given that he knew her from past. That scene somehow worked really well on the large scheme of things and was a very loving and determined gesture. IT just proved that Shi Yi Jie is not picking around. And for someone like Xiao Fei, who has seen and suffered a lot in his very short life, it helps for him to have someone loving him with all the determination. I am glad no big deal is being made of Shi Yi Jie suddenly feeling for a man. His feelings never waver and he is never afraid. Even the way their relationship grows his organic and beautiful. Eye's beautiful friend is a great support structure in his life who is always there for him constantly reminding that he deserves love.It was nice that YoYo was also seamlessly involved in their love aspect. It was about making a family and YoYo was very happy to see her father more involved in her life and be with Xiao Fei, whom she had grown very fond of. Even the drama from the ex-wife was handled very well with audiences being provided of all relevant information from their past. All the actors did a great job in the series and suit their part. The chemistry is amazing and the little YoYo is sooooooo cute.
A cute, adorable, feel-good, very realistic drama that is such a welcome change from the fluffy Thai BL shows (which are good in this town way), I would highly highly recommend this. Can't wait to see the next few shows/films as part of the HIStory series. I have waited too long. (7.5/10)
