"Parents' Love" was remade into a drama on CCTV variety show. In 2014, when this drama was broadcast, it received a lot of praise, and it even won 95 out of super high rating.

Although Dong Jie's style is highly restored, her thin figure gives people a feeling that she can't support her clothes, and the wrinkles on her face are also obvious, and the overall feeling is old. There is no shortage of scathing remarks among netizens about Dong Jie's facial evaluation of "sharp-beaked monkey cheeks".
Similarly, Jiang Defu played by Li Guangjie has also been complained by many netizens and audiences. Although he is much more handsome than the image in the play, he lacks the honest and simple feeling of Jiang Defu. Although each actor's interpretation should be different and should not be directly compared with the original, Li Guangjie gives the impression that he is deliberately imitating the role of an honest man. He always calls himself "Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu", which gives people a very disobedient feeling. As for the role of Jiang Yafei, played by Lou Yixiao, it is controversial. It is said that Lou Yixiao's face after plastic surgery is not natural, coupled with a neat short hair and thick black flat eyebrows, such an outfit is not suitable for her.
