My Dear Boy is a Taiwanese drama that aired from 2017 to 2018 on TTV. It stars Ruby Lin, Derek Chang, and Yi-Wen Yen in lead roles. The show revolves around the romantic relationships and family dynamics of three different generations. The story begins with the life of a successful and intelligent businesswoman, Zhou Xiao Han (Ruby Lin), who is in her forties and has a daughter. Her busy life takes a turn when she is diagnosed with cancer and decides to take a break from her work and spend time with her family. She moves back to the house she grew up in, where she reconnects with her father, mother, and siblings.

Zhou Xiao Han's father, Zhou Ji Wei (Yi-Wen Yen), is a retired teacher who is secretly in love with his best friend's widow, Zhang Shu Fang (Li Yi-Jing). However, he is not able to express his feelings due to his shy nature. This subplot adds a layer of complexity to the family dynamics and leads to some emotional moments.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xiao Han's daughter, Lin Zi Yan (Pauline Lan), is a rebellious teenager who is often at odds with her mother. Her character provides a contemporary perspective to the show and highlights the generation gap between Zhou Xiao Han and her daughter.

The third lead character is Zhou Xiao Han's childhood friend, Lu Xi Wei (Derek Chang), who has a crush on her. Lu Xi Wei is a successful businessman who lives in the United States but decides to move back to Taiwan to take care of Zhou Xiao Han after she is diagnosed with cancer. His relationship with Zhou Xiao Han is complicated as they have a past but are now in different stages of their lives.

My Dear Boy is a character-driven drama that explores the complexities of human relationships. The show beautifully depicts the dynamics between a parent and child, the love between siblings, and the unspoken feelings between friends. The writing is nuanced, and the performances are outstanding, with Ruby Lin and Derek Chang delivering some of their best work.

One of the strongest aspects of the show is its portrayal of Zhou Xiao Han's battle with cancer. The series does not shy away from the harsh realities of the illness, and the emotional impact it has on everyone involved. The show handles the subject with sensitivity and shows how the diagnosis affects not only the patient but also their loved ones.

Overall, My Dear Boy is an excellent drama that explores the complexities of family relationships and the unexpected twists and turns life can throw our way. It is a heartwarming and emotional journey that will leave viewers with a renewed appreciation for the people in their lives.
