Interesting and different, despite the drawn-out ending
I want to start by saying that this is Miles Wei's best drama, without any doubt (my personal opinion)
I May Love You reminded me a little of The Love You Give Me in some ways, especially in the way FL makes ML have to fight for her. In my opinion, nothing more fair for two male protagonists who didn't try hard enough when it was necessary.
Following with my review, I want to highlight that, just like in Rising With The Wind, we have obstacles that make sense. There are no annoying second females or second leads - although the director, Mr. Lu, fell in love in 3 seconds of the scene with 3 different people, and one of them was FL -, or controlling and irritating families interfering in their son's relationships as if they could not have autonomy.
Yes, we had misunderstandings... and there were several (lol) but, at least, they were being resolved one by one.
FL's development was very interesting, I really loved the way she matured and instead of making a man the center of her life, she started to focus on herself and her work. That was admirable. And best of all: she didn't go back on her decision, even after admitting her feelings.
ML is also the typical role that Miles usually plays, however, I think this role of his is a more mature, sexier and more interesting role than the others. It still has that "science teacher" and "mommy's boy at 30" vibe, but anyway, I think it's my favorite character out of all the characters he's played.
Regarding the secondary characters, I really liked Secretary Hao, I also liked ML's cute sister, and FL's best friend. Although I thought ML's best friend was an empty character, he surprised me with a levelheadedness that I didn't expect.
However, despite all the positive aspects I mentioned, I think that the excessive conveniences, such as ML's sister suddenly becoming an actress - just for the couple's plot with the director - and the delay for the couple to get together, made the last 4 episodes became dragging for me.
At some point, I just wanted to finish the series.
Anyway, I May Love You is surprisingly better than I expected, it has GREAT performances - especially Huang Ri Ying, who was really great on her role - and delivered excellent chemistry between the main actors.
It deserves more attention and recognition, in fact.
