Best Choice Ever became my Favorite Drama Ever

I think Best Choice Ever provided better growth for Xu Kai's character unlike She and Her Perfect Husband.

I liked YZM & MCH Interactions the most. Xu Kai at his best. I've to say that there are very good and entertaining characters like YZM, MCH, He Dong, Zhang Zhiyu, Grand Mother. You can't get bored watching these characters. But of course, every drama has its own pros and cons. I felt the Mom character is too boring and hurts the FL many times. XJL (MCH's Ex) is also boring to watch. As his character seemed too childish where as MCH is a matured woman. I don't know Why MCH dated XJL?
But anyways, MCH & YZM are together at the end of the drama.

Instead of that time waste by creating unnecessary plot in the last 2-3 eps, they should have worked around the plot of YZM and MCH's marriage like the most of the Chinese dramas do.

I loved MCH & YZM interactions the most:
1. MCH to YZM - Mr. Yao, the world doesn't end without you but your kidneys would, drink more water. (In Hospital)
2. YZM to MCH - Miss Mai, The world doesn't end without you but I would. (Replied again in hospital)
3. I knew it, Fang something right? He said you're childhood sweethearts (this line looks simple in English but it was funny when he said that in Chinese)
4. If you like someone, do you have to express it in person?, ...... I like you ?
5. It was my fault for giving my heart to you too soon, now my world is filled with you! (YZM tried to be cheesy with his lines)
6. Auntie, I was that mouse running around at home.
7. YZM's scene with MCH's Mom - When I was young due to my family environment, I have always been a selfish person. I don't know what is family and what is warmth and I never expected to fall in love with someone in my life. Ever since Cheng Huan entered my life, she brought different colors and made me look forward for the future. In my heart, I have long regarded you as my family. I request you to let me properly love Cheng Huan & become a part of your family.

I liked YZM's character even more when he confronted Ms. Zhang over Xing'anli issues.

Cons of the Drama:
1. Lesser Screen Time for Xu Kai (But fine I'm more satisfied with YZM rather than his other drama - SAHPH: Yang Hua)
2. Boring Characters like Liu Wanyu, Xin Jialiang, Xin Jiali
3. Too much wastage ~ They should have reduced the whole marriage thing (Come On!, Ep 1 to Ep 16)
4. XJL was the dumbest character I've ever seen in the Chinese drama. You're almost 30 and you can't even trust your girl friend. You have always lied about your status and yet MCH should be understanding of you and your family?
5. Liu Wanyu's character bored me so many times. Her constant nagging towards husband, son and daughter couldn't bear it.
6. Last 3 episodes wasted on LWY's illness.

Pros of the Drama
1. Mai Cheng Huan - Being filial, positive, and honesty throughout is really difficult. It's my second drama of Yang Zi. I like her even more. She's a matured actress.
2. Yao Zhi Ming - In MCH words, A Successful Man with traumatized childhood. YZM seemed selfish in the beginning. Only cared about his promotion at the head quarters. But the trip with Grand Mother and MCH changed his perspective. Before he was hospitalized, he said to a kid that there's no Ultraman in this world. After MCH's care, he said to the same kid that there's no Ultraman in the world but there's spiderman & superman. The character transitioned a lot. The Apology to MCH. At first, I also interpreted like Mao that YZM's strategy to make MCH fall in love with him and then take over Xing'anli but he surprised when MCH and YZM began dating, there's a scene where YZM buys flowers for his Girl Friend from a Little Girl (She Says " Brother, I wish you happiness" and in response he says " I wish you happiness too and can you wish happiness to others on the way on the behalf of my Girl Friend?").
3. Mai Lai Tian - Positive and Patient Father. He is filled full of Patience. Mai Mom always had something to nag at him and he was always listening to her nagging with patience. He is too supportive and with a positive attitude.
4. Zhang Pei Sheng - Although she turned out to be Antagonist. Her scenes with YZM are good. Her daughter is more matured than her.
5. Chen Shu Zhen - Grand Mai's character is another best character. Always supportive of both her grand children. We can't just give 100% score to MCH for changing YZM. 30% Grand Mai also changed him.
6. He Dong - His interaction with YZM is most funny. YZM is friendly with him and HD is also friendly with YZM. Their relationship was too fun and interactive.

If I were to Re-watch the show - I'll watch from Ep 21 to Ep 33. (Ep 1 to Ep 20, I would watch scenes involving YZM with HD, MCH & Grand Mai)
