Chen Yi and Miao Jing: Song Weilong's Best Onscreen Chemistry Yet
I just finished watching Love for You, and it's one of the best dramas I've ever watched. The chemistry between Chen Yi and Miao Jing, played beautifully by Song Weilong and Zhang Jingyi, is outstanding. I also loved Chen Yi's friendship with Bo and Rocky; Bo is hilarious!
One thing I especially appreciated was the minimal misunderstanding between the couple. Miao Jing is refreshingly straightforward with Chen Yi about her feelings and needs, which complements his more reserved personality perfectly. I also loved Uncle Zhou's quiet support of the young couple throughout.
I also loved the second male lead, Cen Ye, for his calm and supportive demeanor. There were none of the childish tricks from the second leads that I commonly see in Chinese dramas. Surprisingly, I really liked Cen Ye; he's often smiling as he watches Chen Yi throw his little "tantrums," which was so endearing.
I've watched several of Song Weilong's other dramas, and I find he's much stronger in modern settings. His onscreen chemistry with Zhang Jingyi here is the strongest I've seen from him compared to his previous leading ladies. The scene where he's a groomsman at Bo's wedding stood out in particular: the silent, sensual tension between Chen Yi and Miao Jing, conveyed entirely through their gazes, was unforgettable.
Will I rewatch this drama? Absolutely. I also loved the OST, especially "Wander" by Lars Huang
