Only for Love (2023)

The most boring drama

It's the worst Chinese drama I've ever watched, too slow, it was hard to finish it and needs strength to continue after each episode, FL and f support role are too boring. fl met someone not long ago and showed up at her other house without invitation and she accepted, even riding bikes together lolllll and there is this Shanshan who irritated me the most in this series.
it was a waste of time, 36 episodes for what? i enjoyed only the last three episodes.
A lot of unecesary scenes, it would have been better, too bad.
The screenwriter and realisator need to learn for next time.

I can't stop rewatch this drama

I really like the story, actually i watch it randomly because I am bored, but it turns out fun. I never watch drama that the FL is the antagonist, at first the story made me curious but later I am being trapped with the sweet love story and there are many quotes about life that I can relate. Again watching it again and again is not boring rather it make me wanna watch it again and again. The actress and actor is amazing too, I am type of person that focus on expression and voice of the actor, for me in this drama they did really well. I feel like I am not watching the drama but I am being there with them playing the drama because I can feel all the emotion in the drama. I think they just lack in some common sense like when the intern pour water in keyboard but the monitor is the one that shutdown, about the phone and people can hear it I still can relate with it, because nowadays phone have high volume in their load speaker. For the production at first I think its weird but as time goes by, I find it interesting because I like detail so I think its not a problem. The OST is easy listening and my favorite is Emotion Remote Control by Meng Jia. That is all, Thank you Only for love :))

Wang Hedi look great. Bai Lu was so pretty

It was becoz of these two I binge watch for 3 days and almost got headache. Eventhough there are a few illogical moment between ML and FL, this series really make me swoon and felt giddy² inside. And also let just not start discussing about all then hot scenes... #OmyheartWink*
Truely amaze how the other couples made me rooting for them and want them to have a happy closure too. And just For that, this series deserve overall 8 star from me.
The house was a full studio set. How can that be? It so artistic and realistic. I bet the office is a studio set too. No wonder the lighting was spot on in every angle.

Am I going to watch the full series again? No
Am I going to just watch click bait /tt video scene of Shu Yi and Shi Yan? Oh definitly . You bet on in..

Misunderstanding of 2023

Looking at such a good and talented cast really mislead a person to watch it.......but the storyline (no comment)

Bai Lu and Dylan Wang did performed their respective roles but what is a description of the role.......the same old overbearing CEO,who, for God's sake or for what reason fall for the female lead and is so forgiving......like is he for real. The proactive female lead who is workaholic and seductive. I don't have any problem in these kind of roles as they are cute sometime......but the storyline made my soul left the body
Then still thought the supporting cast will be my last resort.........but never mind.

The only thing which is high throughout the show is the VISUAL SCALE or maybe the plot of uncle and niece+misunderstanding

Hope you find this review helpful for your drama journey

The best cdrama I've watched so far

Why is it 7.9? It needed to be 8.5 at least. The drama is so interesting and the main leads' chemistry is on another level. I've watched all at of dramas with the CEO tropes, but trust me this one is different, It will hook you up from the first episode

Love as a Catalyst for Change: A Heartwarming Journey of Healing and Transformation

In this series, every episode had my heart melting a little more. From the captivating soundtrack to the brilliant performances by Bai Lu and Dylan Wang, I was completely hooked. Their portrayal of a love-struck couple was both authentic and compelling, bringing their characters’ vulnerabilities and chemistry to life.

The drama beautifully explores how love can become a catalyst for personal growth and transformation. Through the journey of Zheng Shu Yi and Shi Yan, the storyline dives into the realistic struggles faced by young professionals who are trying to balance their careers with the demands of a meaningful relationship. Despite misunderstandings and the ups and downs of embracing one another’s differences, the lead couple learns to find strength in their vulnerabilities, ultimately creating a love that’s both heartwarming and profound.

The series also shines in its depiction of how healing and forgiveness can be powerful enough to break through the barriers a couple might face. It shows the beauty of opposites attracting—where each partner’s strengths uplift the other, bringing balance and harmony. The entire cast was perfectly chosen, and each character felt relatable, adding depth to the story. I found myself falling deeply in love with this drama, and it has definitely earned a spot as my new favorite!

TÍTULO ENGANOSO - DRAMA RUIM, NÃO ASSISTA

Gostei dos primeiros episódios e de sua história, mas foi só isso.
O C-drama TEM MUITOS mal-entendidos, mentiras e muita interrupção telefônica. Isso fez com que a parte interessante do C-drama fosse totalmente apagada e anulada.
É o C-drama com mais mal-entendidos que já assisti, ficou irritante a história.
Tudo isso sem contar com uma FL idiota e infantil. Ela teve várias oportunidades melhorar e consertar seu relacionamento com o ML, mas sempre estragou a oportunidade com sua idiotice. Mesmo a amiga indicando onde ele errou, ela sempre cometia os mesmo erros, indicando que a história é mal escrita, feita para dar mais emoção e esticar o número de episódios. Daria para ser apenas 24 episódios, no máximo.
Foi frustrante e irritante assistir as idiotices da FL e os mal-entendidos

Não indico para ninguém e não assistia novamente, nunca.

There’s no saving a bad script

This was torture. WTF with the “misunderstanding” lasting virtually the whole series? It’s tiring to watch stupidity last all episodes. Trudged through it for the actors but… what a disappointment and wasted potential. The script was just too weak and flimsy and flawed. So much so that even the lead’s star power can’t save this drama. Enjoyed the second leads more than the main leads.

So worth the watch!!!!!

I personally loved this drama soooo much! The chemistry was amazing and the acting was on point! Really loved the second couple with Yu Yuo and Shi Yan’s niece, they were so cute I really wanted to see more of them! The only problem I had with the show was all of their missunderstandings like please learn how to communicate with each other! I also did not really like the best friend of Shu Yi, she was really beautiful and I understand that it can be hard to trust someone but the advices she gave to Shu Yo was not it! And the way she treated her soon to be boyfriend throughout like half of the show was not something that I liked to see. Other than that I really enjoyed it and I will definitely rewatch it!

Frustrating and boring (very little spoilers ahead to make a point)

To be honest, I found this drama to be mild. It's main problem is the script, trying to find problems where there are none and taking way too long for things to happen. I don't mind a long burn but when absolutely nothing happens on a personal level and, most of the time, the characters are in corporate meetings talking about chips, it's a bore.

On the other hand, there are very real problems, with lots of potential, that take the entire drama to be resolved and it's done badly. Example: leading lady has to constantly deal with a nasty and jealous co-worker who slanders her and even physically hurts her at one point. When the boss can no longer avoid the issue, leading lady's personal life is brought up and questioned. Excuse me? Her relationship it's nobody's business and furthermore why are y'all weaponizing it against her when it hasn't affected her work or the work place in the fist place? Seems to me you are all dealing with a terrible case of sexism among women and a change of attitude would have been nice. But, no, nasty co-worker doesn't even get fired. She's transferred and choses to quit altogether as if she was trying to save some face. Bitch, please. This particular storyline was frustrating.

There are other two couples, apart from the leads, that we spent a good amount of time following, only for them to completely disappear from once they respectively find happiness. No follow up, nothing, until the last scene of the drama.

The one saving grace is the cast, which is flawless in the respective roles they were given and had good chemistry (at times).

It honestly seems like a waste of a good cast on a mediocre story. A shame.

A Must watch series for Dylan Wang & Bai Lu fans

Romantic series with Dylan Wang (very cold, rational, young investor CEO) & Bai Lu (economics journalist). These 2 attract each other, turn around and play cat and mouse until episode 20.
2 other 2dary couples: CL2 = CEO investor / video journalist (both players who do not want to give up their style life) & CL3 = college teacher/trainee.

PROS:
+ Bai Lu and Dylan Wang are a great CL, with intense interactions and chemistry. They carry the whole series on their shoulders.
+ All the cast did a good job, with complex characters, who are well developed.
+ Excellent OSTs (even Irish music :)
+ The pace is fast, dynamic, without length.
+ The framing, settings, costumes,... are well suited to the story.

CONS:
I'm not convinced by some characters:
- FL2 is totally stupid on an emotional level. She thinks she's a love expert, because she dates around, but she thinks like an imbecile. A lot of CL's problems stem from her disastrous advice... The kind of friend to avoid like the plague! In each situation, she guides the FL towards the worst possible path. Is this the deliberate will of the screenwriter/director???
- the very very immature FL3.
- the character of Cheng Kang is not even credible: he is indecisive, hesitant, without self-confidence. How could such a character create his own business?

=> A lovely romantic series with a CL that I would like to see again together on screen soon.
**************************************************************************************************************
Série romantique avec Dylan Wang (jeune CEO investisseur très froid) & Bai Lu (journaliste économique). Ces 2 s'attirent, se tournent autour et jouent au chat et à la souris jusqu'à l'épisode 20. 2 autres couples 2aires : CL2 = CEO investisseur / journaliste vidéo (tous les 2 players qi ne veulent pas renoncer à leur style de vie) & CL3 = prof de fac/stagiaire.
PROS:
+ Bai Lu and Dylan Wang are a great CL, with intense interactions and chemistry. They carry the whole series on their shoulders.
+ All the cast did a good job, with complex characters, well developped.
+ Excellent OSTs (even Irish music :)
+ The pace is fast, dynamic, without lenght.
+ The framed, settings, costumes,... are well suited to the story.

CONS:
Je ne suis pas convaincue par certains personnages :
- La FL2 est totalement idiote au niveau émotionnel. Elle se croit une experte en amour, parce qu'elle papillonne, mais elle raisonne comme une imbécile. Une bonne partie des problèmes du CL découle de ses conseils désastreux... Le genre d'amie à fuir comme la peste ! A chaque situation, elle guide vers la pire voie possible. Est-ce la volonté délibérée du screenwriter/réalisateur ???
- la FL3 très très immature.
- le personnage de Cheng Kang n'est pas crédible : il est indécis, hésitant, sans confiance en lui. Comment un tel personnage a-t-il pu créer son entreprise ?

=> Une jolie série romantique avec un CL que j'aimerai revoir together on screen soon.

Dylan Wang is just soooooo swoony!

If for no other reason, everyone should watch this so that they can swoon over Dylan Wang every second he is on screen. OMG I just love love love love him so much. But there are other good reasons too.
I actually really enjoyed this show, I don't get why it gets so much hate. Yes, there is a lot of business talk (you can just skip) and some plotlines or characters personality traits and decisions are questionable, but that's part of the show's charm. I loved the three couples, I loved the friendship and family relationships, it was refreshing to see a rich family be so close-knit and so welcoming of the love interests of their young members, instead of the usual shananigans.
Above all, i really really really loved how much Shi Yan was devoted to his woman, he is exactly everything I love about a ML.
I also like FL a lot, she was intelligent, hard-working, had good core values. She could be a little spoiled, she definetly could have been more honest, but it all adds to that characters' arch.
The only character i didn't really care much for was the magazine boss who was very indecisive towards her boyfriend, but even that i can sort of get.
The OST was nice, the kiss scenes were crazy hot, I could rewatch those a thousand times. Andddd... bonus... horses! If there are scenes with horses, it's perfect because it's my favourite animal.
