We Best Love
SO CUTE AND BEAUTIFUL! THEIR CHEMISTRY IS ON POINT
i think this is one of those shows where you either love or hate this; i'm part of the majority that loves this. pacing was nice, i'm surprised by the amount of stuff that was able to fit in those 6 episodes (one can make an argument that they added TOO much in those 6 episodes, particularly the final episode) but it did not feel like it was rushed in any way.
shu yi and shi de had strong chemistry and they really matched each other's qualities. it's a perfect balance of sizzle and sweet that i loved so much. their dynamics seems so natural that one wouldn't even notice that this is their first time being in a drama together. i also appreciated the usage of japanese language in this, i appreciated this more after i found out that yu is actually half-japanese. i liked this addition!
what brought this down to a 4-star rating is the cousin. at first i didn't really have any complaints with his character but after realizing and digesting the drama, i realized how awful of a character he is (viewing him as a doctor). though i don't think that medical accuracy is something that i should expect from this drama in the first place since it markets itself as a romantic bl drama; no more, no less. but i would've appreciated a better character formation for the cousin.
the ending (like most people have noticed already) was unsatisfactory and didn't give us a good (temporary) wrap-up for everything that happened.
overall, coming from a HUGE enemies to lovers fan's standpoint, this was a great watch! i loved the academic bickering to being whipped for each other storyline that they did here! shu yi and shi de are such cuties! strong chemistry and relationship dynamics just oozing out from left to right! (plus the FACE CARDS!!)
