Nothing But Love (2023)

So so Cdrama..lacks romantic feeling

Watched this show because of thr casts and the genre of age gap relationships. You can watch this to kill time but not totally being into it every episode. Same as others review here..its an okay drama prolly because of the casts and decent storyline. However the feel good vibe that would make you smile while watching isn't on here. There was a moment of bed scene which is awkward because they were not even in a relationship and the chasing of the ML was so dragging that its almost at the end when they became a couple. They should have skipped that bed scene part as it doesn't make sense and doesn't make the audience feel the sizzle. If anyone is reading this..better watch Zhou Yu Tong the female lead other drama "begin again" which is way better than this..and gives that feeling of good vibes and romance that would make you smile. Also recommend another sports romcom with the same age gap relationship from Gina Jin "Falling into you".

Two things kept me watching this: (1) the fun tennis scenes, which make me want to grab a racquet and run out and practice and (2) Leo Wu’s (Wu Lei’s?) acting, which is completely different from his role in Love Like the Galaxy, but just as compelling. I’m impressed by how an actor who played Mr. Killing Machine Ling Bu Yi could be just as convincing in the role of goofy, immature Song Sang Chuan.

There were a couple of irritating characters, such as the sister. The romance between the main leads was okay but my favorite scenes were the ones between Song Sang Chuan and his stepfather.

A very nice series with Leo Wu (still excellent, but here, absolutely remarkable <3 <3<3)

I like Sports dramas and Leo Wu. Thus, I've watched this series, and I liked it very much !!

The good sides:
- well-constructed, intelligent story: meeting between 1 "failed" badminton player and 1 sports company assistant. She will manage, then create her own tennis club, and help him "transfer" to tennis to pursue a brilliant career there.
- consistent character development,
- Very credible CL, with slow burn romance, linked to the FL's understandable hesitations because of many obstacles: manager/player status, age gap, disappointing previous experience, bitter mother, etc.
- Natural interactions within the CL,
– Leo Wu is really GREAT in his sports scenes, both badminton and tennis.
- Team's friendship is well-developed and valued,
- funny but realistic CL2 and CL3 relationships,
- coherent Sports/training parts, with credible actors and scenes. The unseen side, the commercial aspects are exposed clearly but without melodrama.
- well-developed family aspect (both the FL family and the ML family) including the experience of divorce.

The lesser:
- Lots of screentime on the club's construction.
- Scenes in Spain less credible (I am European and I find the vision of Europe always simplistic in dramas :(

=> Excellent series, a gem for Leo Wu fans ;)

Très jolie série sport- noona romance avec Leo Wu (toujours excellent, mais ici, absolument remarquable <3 <3<3)

Les bons côtés :
- story bien construite, intelligente : rencontre entre 1 joueur de badminton "raté" et 1 assistante ds Cie de sport. Elle va mener, puis monter un club de tennis, et l'aider à "muter" vers le tennis pour y poursuivre une brillante carrière.
- développement des personnages cohérent,
- CL très crédible, avec slow burn romance, liée aux hésitations compréhensibles de la FL car bcp d'obstacles : statut manager/joueur, age gap, expérience précédente décevante, mère aigrie, etc.
- Interactions naturelles au sein du CL,
- Leo Wu est GENIAL dans ses scènes de sport, aussi bien badminton que tennis.
- amitié dans l'équipe bien développée et mise en valeur,
- relations CL2 et CL3 drôles mais réalistes,
- partie Sport/entrainement cohérente, avec des acteurs et des scènes crédibles. Les dessous, les aspects commerciaux sont exposés clairement mais sans mélo.
- aspect familial bien développé (aussi bien la famille de la FL que celle du ML) y compris la vision du divorce.

Les moins bons :
- Bcp de screentime sur la construction du club.
- partie en Espagne moins crédible (je suis européenne et je trouve la vision de l'Europe toujours simpliste dans les dramas :(

=> Excellente série, un bijou pour les fans de Leo Wu ;)

I say check it out. It's beautiful!

I recently watched Amidst a Snowstorm of Love. Wow, complicated name in English, hahahahaha, sorry, I'm not fluent at all... Anyway, as I told a friend, besides the horror trends, I tend to fall madly in love with stories about older women and younger men. Some of this is due to the fact that men have always matured later in relationships. Prejudice? Yes may be. I call that, life experience. Whatnot.
The fact is that I really liked the Snooker drama, but I loved this one. Without wanting to compare both dramas, the focus of which is beside the point at the moment,
Anyway, sorry, it's difficult not to have a minimum of comparison: Both have a sports theme, both have Leo Wu and both have FLs with great references and acting.
Nothing but you, despite being a longer and, in my opinion, more complex drama, and having been filmed in about 7 months, seems to have less recognition among the general public. Meanwhile, Amidst a Snowstorm of Love, although it had participation from other countries and was more successful, was filmed in 3 months. Both have their merits and are well worth checking out.
Nothing but you, although it has more positive points than negative points, I believe that some scenes could be edited and, therefore, reduce the viewing time. 30 episodes would be a good size, without losing its charming essence in any way.
Even though I came here for Leo Wu, I must admit that Zhou Yu Tong was brilliant. A mature, intelligent, independent, strong character and, most of the time, in control of situations. His little display of ingenuity in the final chapters, while criticized by some, was adorable.
Leo Wu, although he has already witnessed his most impressive performances, here he knew how to embody Song San Chuan masterfully. An impeccable athletic body...mercy! I can't let this observation pass 😊, beautiful, it's a fact! But his moments as a rebellious boy, stubbornness and insecurity typical of immaturity, were unique. I confess, I enjoyed each one of them.
Very good supporting cast, although they spent an extended amount of time on the younger sister and her necessary family members. I think it would have been better to have invested more in the story of the other athletes, the nutritionist friend and the coach Zhang Yan.
Anyway, if you have doubts about checking out this drama, I say check it out. It's beautiful!
I will never forget my moments with my son by my side, talking about tennis rules, nor that, in my entire life, I admired this sport so much.

I watched 'Nothing But You' (NBY) after watching 'Amidst a Snowstorm of Love'. Compared to the latter, I really didn't enjoy NBY as much. The main leads lacked chemistry, and it didn't matter to me whether they ended up together or not. It was annoying that Song Sanchuan always lowered himself for Jiang Youan. I didn't observe much personal growth, especially in Song Sanchuan.

I kind of wished the drama was more about the players. It would have been better if they showed more about tennis than political issues and romance. Unlike 'Amidst a Snowstorm of Love', which sparked my interest in billiards, NBY didn't make me interested in tennis. I felt this drama lacked bromance.

The male lead had major traumas and psychological issues, but they never showed him getting treated properly. This could have been a much better drama, but at its best, it was average.

I still enjoyed parts of it, but a lot of the time, I was simply bored and hoping it would end.

Heartwarming Sports + Noona Romance

It's a well written & acted slice of life drama with an extremely detailed sports related plot and a very intelligent Noona romance that works because of the acting prowess of main leads.


Like a few other Cdramas, I like how this one focuses on detailed aspects of athletics in China, primarily focusing on Badminton & Tennis 🎾 while romance being the subtle sub plot but very maturely written & executed.


Might felt a little dragged towards middle & ending but it shows successfully how so many struggling people in career & life can uplift each other.

Wu Lei shines so bright.

Finally finished watch this. Reluctant to watch at first, but upon hearing many positive thing about this drama finally succumb to it & decided to watch.

This drama tell story about Song San Chuan (SC), that even though a talented badminton athlete but have stuck in the place cause by his trauma. And here come Liang You An (YA) that see the potential in SC. SC fall in love at the first sight with YA & always try to please SC, even try to break trough his own trauma for the sake of YA. But trouble still come that make SC had to give up badminton & later on once again for the sake of YA he move to tennis. One prodigy he is... One athlete that move field in his 20s & still success. Haha...

What I like from this drama:
+ What a cute couple Leo Wu & Zhou Yu Tong are. Never expected they can be this cute playing couple. The really positive thing from this couple, we don't see they try to reverse role them. Until the end SC & YA still act according to their age, YA not become childish & clingy, & SC not becoming too mature.
+ SC is really really one stubborn & persistent athlete. Sometimes even put too much force unto himself. But from him we can see the picture of the athlete, how they train & persistent in their own field.
+ Jiang Jiao Jiao (JJ) & Liang Tao (LT) are also a cute couple. Really love how they develop feeling for each other & support each other in the end.
+ Give up is not the end. I mean like when SC decided to drop badminton & later on switch to tennis & Chen Zhe who is in the end admit that he is not talented & choose to drop tennis & choose to inherit his family business. Sometime give up is not embarrassing & certainly not the end of the world.
+ Persistent always bear fruit. Except the sample from SC, we also get to see JJ that didn't get support from his dad at first, but how he still persistent & firm with his decision & also support from his mom & LT, he finally can show his dad that his decision to continue tennis is not wrong.

What I don't too like:
- A little bit too beautiful. I mean like SC that successful change his field is like a dream come true.

Overall this drama quite good, not regret watching this. But at the same time nothing too good about this that I think gonna leave a trail in my mind.

Best drama in 2023

This is my 1st ever review. If you are looking for a good drama then go for it without a delay. It still airing I'm on 14th ep, but I can say this will be a hit. (Ig🫣) no the usual drama it's different.

Story line:
A sports based story , different from other dramas. Age difference between the leads plays a big part . It's not the usual cliche c drama. This feels different.

ML:
I haven't watched his dramas before, so watching his 1st drama he's so good at acting and expressing everything. The portrayal of the leads is really awesome. Btw he looking good 😉

FL:
I have watched her dramas before she's super cools I love her character very much. She's bold, cute, matured. she's doing justice to her character😍.


The chemistry mmmm🤔 as of now there's not much , I think it will come in the future. they'll make a simple but beautiful pair.💙


This is my 1st review let me know if it's helpful!🫶🏽

Cant' bear to watch till end

I really like Zhou Yu Tong in Begin Again so I was waiting for this drama and my friend said Leo Wu's acting is good, the promotion videos and photos are promising but turned out this is not my cup of tea.

So many struggles in this one, and almost nothing to balance that, i just saw they are keep suffering with so little reward after that. In tennis ML need to keep up with the training but in romance he also need to keep up with the FL. FL so reasonable at the first episode, so smart in dealing with people and know everyone's character, but she doesn't know how to face the ML.

Usually there will be some comedy in the middle of serious drama, but I just see that everyone has their own problem.
