Beautiful BL drama

This is such a beautiful BL series!
I'm loving every episode! The chemistry between the two leads is lovely!
The emotion the characters bring out is amazing. It pulls the audience into liking the characters and feels for characters!
The slow burn helps build up their great chemistry and relationship! We are able to see every step of how their relationship starts! How they slowly fall in love!!
Just a wonderful, lovely drama, and I can't wait for season 2!!!

Sad but real

I do want to understand why people have disliked the ending so much. I mean everyone was well aware of the possibility (and almost reality) of the series not ending in great terms.

Let's be serious: who hasn't ever been in denial or in denial about a potential relationship? It's totally understandable why Sheng Wang is rejecting his own feeling. Just try to put yourself in his place: you've never fallen in love with anyone and, now that the time has come, this someone has to be your best friend and even your """""""stepbrother"""""" (I hate people calling them brothers yuck)! Wouldn't you also be crazy? Try to see from the perspective of the character.

Furthermore, talking about capitalism reasons, you know pretty well that the team wants us to be as anxious and nervous as possible for another season. This the only way to stay with the hype up. We'll probably get another season. Taiwan does it a lot and, if they continue following the novel, the S2 will also be perfect. Please continue hyping the series to make it possible

We need Season 2

"The Only One" season 1 left us on a cliffhanger, a bittersweet symphony of emotions that resonated long after the credits rolled. While the finale was beautifully crafted, leaving us with a sense of closure and a glimmer of hope, it also left a gaping hole in our hearts. The unsaid words, the unspoken feelings, the lingering tension between the two protagonists – it all culminates in a heart-wrenching climax that begs for resolution. The chemistry between [Character 1] and [Character 2] was palpable throughout the season. Their interactions were filled with unspoken longing, a dance of attraction and avoidance that kept us on the edge of our seats. We witnessed their individual journeys, their struggles, their triumphs, and their vulnerabilities. We rooted for them, we ached for them, and we yearned for them to finally acknowledge the undeniable connection that bound them together. The ending, although poignant and well-executed, left us with a sense of incompleteness. The final scene, where [briefly describe the final scene], left us with more questions than answers. Did [Character 1] truly understand [Character 2]'s feelings? Did [Character 2] finally realize the depth of [Character 1]'s affection? The ambiguity of their final interaction left us craving more, yearning for a resolution to the unspoken emotions that simmered beneath the surface. We need season 2, not just to see how their story unfolds, but to experience the catharsis of seeing them finally confess their feelings, to witness the culmination of their journey. We need to see them navigate the complexities of their relationship, the challenges they face, and the triumphs they achieve together. We need to see them embrace the love that has been brewing for so long, a love that has been tested, tried, and ultimately, strengthened by the trials they have endured. The pain we feel after the season 1 finale is a testament to the power of "The Only One." It's a reminder that we are invested in these characters, in their journey, and in their happiness. We are not simply viewers; we are invested participants in their story. We need season 2 to provide the closure, the resolution, and the emotional satisfaction that we crave. It's not just about the story; it's about the characters, their journey, and the connection we have forged with them. Season 2 is not just a request, it's a necessity. It's a chance to give justice to the emotions we have experienced, to see the characters we have grown to love find their happily ever after. It's a chance to finally see the love story we have been waiting for unfold, a love story that has been brewing for a season and is now ready to blossom. We are ready for season 2, and we are waiting with bated breath for the moment it arrives.

Load Season 2...

This series was phenomenal from start to finish.
The first episode will grab you and each ep thereafter will keep you engaged.
obviously based on the ending, a season 2 is a must. there so much more left to be told here.
the chemistry, the production was fantastic.
I have absolutely no complaints after watching this series.

I need a Season 2 NOW!

I need a second season now! We’ve seen enemies-to-lovers step-brother trope in BL dramas before, but this drama feels more natural. The pace is slower and we really get a chance to get to know the leads. The dynamic between the two leads is perfection. Tian is bossy, but also takes such good care of Wang. And while Wang has a winsome boyishness, he’s more empathetic and in touch with his emotions, giving Tian permission to be more open.

Oh, it’s such a good series that I can’t wait for more!

IT'S A FRESH ROMANCE FOR YOUTH

Every other review has summarized it, so i'm going to tell about how this series makes me feel, and maybe it could make you feel that way too.

It makes me believe love exist but also about how not everything is going to go the way you want. The process of the falling in love and how it affects them is shown through every single episode. I know slow burn may not be everyone's favorite, but plase give this series a chance. Because this series made me want to fall in love. Made me believe that there's truly someone who can be your home. I know the ending may not be what you expected, but for me, it gave me hope for a better future for them.

Tender and moving- an authentic portrayal of young love and the coming of age

I finished《某某》。What incredible acting- everything, including the micro-expressions, were on point. The nuanced glances and exchanges, the framing and lighting, as well as the overlay of lyrical verse and poetry, made for a heartfelt watch that resonated deeply.

The beauty and authenticity of THE ACTING makes this series stand out from all others. Thank you for bringing the novel to life.

To the powers that be, we will need a Season 2 to see the story to its much-awaited and happy conclusion.

Watch till the end.

This show was excellent in every aspect. From the cinematography, to the acting and plot, the chemistry between the main leads and side characters as well, you can expect to enjoy the series thoroughly as I did. The anticipation for the double episodes was worth waiting every week. Hoping that the second season will be even better!

A piece of art with deep emotional rollercoaster

Story between two people -one of them is wandering stray cat natured yearning for care still protective and guarded and the other one is derived from love weighing on himself searching for care. Their journey collides after knowing they're going to be step brothers.

Every episode amazes with details. Most attractive part of this series is it's narrative representation detailed with depth of every lessons, genuine friendship , slowly acceptance, Figuritive characters with flexibilities.

People who are thinking it as another cliche about step brothers to lovers trope let me clear you're absolutely missing out a beautiful coming of age exploring tale concluding self discovery,love,trauma, slice of life, manifesting through different relationships. As it's a Taiwanese show no need to to mention how phenomenal the actors are. Another interesting part in there are lots of cameos from previous shows holding significant characters here. Main leads are damn talented to bring characters into life embodied with more evolving way that made this show magnificent enough to bear long lasting effect. Anyone complaining about it being slow burn let me tell that's the magic of this show.

To sum up I have to express in short from my perspective it's a sentimental centric artistic series carrying deep value of bunch of emotions.

If it's not your type then skip but don't badmouth without watching.

Superb!

Everything about this series was awesome! There have been numerous insightful reviews about this series. The chemistry between the 2 ML's was off the charts. Their relationship developed in season 1 to the point where Sheng was attracted physically to Tian but felt uncomfortable with the attraction because he didn't want to destroy their friendship and complicate their relationship as step brothers. Tian who noticed everything about Sheng knew something was different and that Sheng lied about his exam to distant himself from him. Season 1 left everything up in the air. All I can say is after the Chinese Addicted series wasn't completed and the series Stay with Me wasn't given a Season 2, this series better have a season 2 or I'm going to be severely upset!

The summer of youth.. and the midsommer night's dream

Haaah..
I needed to let it just stew for a while after that finale because the feels.. all the feels I'm feeling.. haaah..

Between the poetic vibe and the bright lens they used to tell the story, there's a ton of whiplash on what you think you're supposed to experience, but none of that matters, because watching this is an experience in itself. I was left contemplating the meaning behind their actions as they left them in a sad and vulnerable state, while experiencing joy beyond explanation just by watching two people become the entire world to each other.

I love those bonds, just pure love. Where you know what the other person is thinking, can anticipate what they're feeling, when you know them better than they know themselves on every sort of level. The melancholy and excitement, and the growing pains of being a teenager who is suddenly thrust into unfamiliar and uncomfortable environments only to end up finding the one person who is going to be their entire life was so incredibly moving to watch.

A lot of my words until now have been vague and philosophical, so let me just say this, they perfectly managed to encapsulate the feelings of being in a new environment and then discovering that it's more home than anywhere else. Budding friendships, familial ties, first love, and all the confusion, happiness and pain that comes with it.. just perfect.

This was more than just a romance, not only because that wasn't the only focus of the story, or because they weren't the only couple in the story, no. It was because, more than a romance, this was a story of love. A love I can't quite explain, so it's best to watch and experience it firsthand.

Where's my season 2 though :(
