One of my favorite ennemies to lovers
(English is not my first language so please excuse any mistakes)I've watched this one year ago and I decided to watch it again so I could write a review on MDL. Well my vision of this BL didn't change. It is still one of my favorite ennemies to lovers.
It wasn't a format as long a Thaï BL which last around 1h/episode so I was afraid, with only six episodes of 30 minutes, I would be frustrated, and the story not well developed. But I was extremely surprised, in a good way, how well the story was told, and how natural it seemed for me to perceive how Shu Yi fell for Gao de. When watching BL I often question the plot, the directing, and the actors because it seems that one of the protagonist suddenly fell in love with the other and we don't understand why. However it is not the case here, we can clearly see Shi Yi fall for Gao de.
Acting is not perfect ofc but it's definitely very good and nice to watch.
I'd like to mention one thing which I kinda disliked : the scene on the bridge, when Shi Yi confess his love, Gao De tell him : "I thought you didn't like boys". And SY answers this "only because it's you".
Which means that Shi Yi "is not gay he has just fallen for a man".
Ofc, you can fall in love and don't care about the gender, but I don't like how in some BL drama the "straight guy" is still straight and just fall for a man because that's life who wanted this to happen. Just my personal opinion but I'd like to know what others think about that "issue".
Apart this little thing I totally recommend it! Now I'm gonna rewatch season 2 to post my review on MDL!

Rewatching it!
I already watched this BL drama "We Best Love" 2 weeks ago but I love it so much and wanna rewatch it again already. In the first season, I thought it was so pure and beautiful!! the romance between the main leads is so cute!! In the second season, the romance went from cute to ultimate hotness!! Very mature and classy, loved it!! I'll be honest the second couple is kind of unnecessary.I still cannot get over this drama along with "I told Sunset About You," both left a huge impact on me.
What a coincidence, just realized both dramas are "rivals to lovers' which is my favorite trope!

Acting, cinematography, osts are the best!!
I never write any review before, but for this masterpiece I just have to!! First of all, the storyline is not complicated but this is the interesting part. Because the storyline is the common one, it's gonna be difficult to get many viewers but this series made it! How can? Then we go to the second reason, acting!! Both main leads' acting are way too good. The chemistry they have, the way they potray their roles so we can fall deeper into the characters and feel like we are them. We can feel what they feel. Next one is the soundtracks. All of them are masterpiece!! Have been playing all the ost repeatedly. The ost makes the scenes more interesting.Okay that's all.
I don't know if this review can make you watch WBL or not, but please try to watch it if you haven't, I promise it won't dissapoint you >.<

I love it so far
This drama is not complete, but its already my favourite BL drama. I am going to watch it many times again.The chemistry between the actors are so good, they make such a cute couple. I really am looking forward to the second season.
The music just completes the series for me. It matches so well.
The plot is really interesting, both characters pull it of very well. I am absolutely in love with this BL its been a while since I enjoyed a series like this.
I only wish that the episodes were longer, I really want to see more heart fluttering moments of the leads.

Traditional BL Storyline with a healthy modern feel
If you're no stranger to BL content this won't disappoint, it has all the elements we look for to make our hearts skip a beat. For the past couple of years a struggle between the BL genre that came from Japan and the LGBTQ tag were at odds because the community felt it wasn't realistic. Although, no matter how realistic a story is in media, its still media bias and entertainment. Nowadays the spectrum has better developed itself so BL like this one- stays in its BL genre but also gives room for more modern demands like allowing characters to be gay without saying "I don't like just anyone, I will only like that guy if it's him." So if you want a BL drama that follows that path, this is the one for you. if you want a little more reality check out "I told sunset about you." Bottom line, this is must watch for BL lovers, but I'm sure you OG's out there will have already clicked on the show ;)Was this review helpful to you?
In one of the two main characters, the Japanese singer Yu Teng Yang (also known by the simple abbreviation YU) in the role of Zhou Shu Yi caught my attention with his interesting physicality and acting, and this is his acting debut.
Krásný dárek od Škaredého Káčatka a Susannah v podobě titulků k tomuto novotou zářícímu taiwanskému seriálu - první sérii. Jak píše Susannah na jejich stránkách, abychom se nezapoměli podívat na úplný konec za závěrečnými titulky v posledním šestém dílu a také já nadávám a doufám, že druhá série bude rovněž tak dobrá.
Zaujal mě v jedné ze dvou hlavních postav zajímavým fyzičnem i herectvím japonský zpěvák Yu Teng Yang (známý též pod jednoduchou zkratkou YU) v roli Zhou Shu Yi, přitom je to jeho herecký debut.

A timeless BL
I’ve watch this drama at least twice a year no lie. It’s quick but also very fulfilling. The emotions you can feel from the main characters but also the supporting roles are chefs kiss. The soundtrack is amazing and the executive of the story devoured. The only down side to this drama is the length of it. Still to this very day one of the best bl dramas ever made.Was this review helpful to you?

Taiwanese BL drama!
At first i was not into this story since i was still hooked in other bl dramas in other country. But being recommended by some fujoshi and fudanshi i was eager to watched it.Story...
Yup, first taiwanese bl drama that i've watched, and it was so good. Being curious at the title of the story at first and ended up loving it and wanting more - because it has 12 mins in 6 episode.
Acting/cast...
The cast was so great. I love the main couple. Being mysterious type guy of Gao Shi De, the lovable and clingy type guy of Zhou Shu Yi. They were really into their character. They were really cute. And their boy best friends that starting to like each other because they were being left out by them. The cousin of Gao Shi De, i really want to know his story. The development of the character was unexpected.
Music...
I was into the music. It really matches the story.
Rewatched and over all value...
If you want a light and lovable story, it is recommendable. Yup. It is new and very refreshing story. Watched it multiple times because i really can't get over with the main couple. I hope it has another season.

Was not expecting much from this BL but boy oh boy was i so wrong!! I am totally in love with japanese dropping words from Yu and Sam...these boy men are so dang hot especially inside the pool!!Well done Taiwan ??...i am so hooked!! 100%
There are so many other characters that the 1st episode did not touch on so i am sure they would be appearing in the coming eps.

Simple yet great
I love this show.I love these characters.
I love how they got together.
I love their love story.
I love their relationship.
I love how they are when they're together.
I love the confession scene.
They delivered a great take on the rivals to lovers & unrequited love to lovers tropes.
It probably has some problems but I don't care & I won't listen to anyone saying anything bad about it. It's basically perfect and I won't entertain any critique saying otherwise.
It's a good show and it deserved its second season.

Un petit drama sympathique
Tout d'abord il faut savoir que j'avais cette série dans mon collimateur depuis son annonce. Ayant vu toutes les productions BL de la scénariste "Lin Pei Yu", j'ai fortement été attirée par celle-ci. L'annonce du casting m'a quelque peu surprise, voir Sam Lin dans ce genre était réellement inattendu ! [Surtout que le BL est souvent joué par de nouveaux acteurs qui tentent de débuter (comme les acteurs de sentais pour les japonais...)]J'avoue avoir lu beaucoup de commentaires sur cette série avant de me lancer. Ceux-ci sont plus qu'élogieux et m'ont probablement fait avoir plus d'attentes que ce que je pensais...
En somme, je suis assez mitigée sur ce que j'ai pensé de ce drama... J'ai apprécié l'histoire bien que vue et revue (dans le genre comme dans la rom-com classique) mais la fin m'a laissé un goût assez amer... Ne parlons même pas du trailer pour la saison 2 qui promet des prises de têtes... (Moi qui ai horreur des situations compliquées une fois le couple établi, je vais encore en baver --') Malgré ça, on passe un bon moment à regarder ce petit couple se créer.
J'ai apprécié découvrir l'acteur Yu dans le rôle de Zhou Shu Yi. (Ba oui, je connaissais déjà Sam Lin, donc d'office je me suis plus intéressée à son binôme x'D !) Ce dernier dégage beaucoup de charmes et montre un grand panel d'émotions qui nous donne envie d'en savoir plus à son propos et de voir son évolution. (C'est d'ailleurs sans doute pour ça que je regarderai la saison 2 malgré mes aprioris...)
