You Are My Lover Friend = You're My Best Friend and My Lover
I'm interested in watching it because of Zhang Xin Cheng, Wang Yu Wen, and Wu Jun Ting.
The plot is fairly common—friends turned lovers—but it still has potential to explore the romantic aspect further.
What I like about this drama:
0) This is a true best-friends-to-lovers plot. The romance develops almost in the last 10 episodes.
1) Their friendship feels genuine. They're real besties, paying attention to and understanding each other so well. It would have been very strange if they didn't end up together and get married, considering how close they are—HAHA.
2) The kisses and skinship in the last 10 episodes were good, yohoooo!
3) The story focuses mainly on friendship and work. The obstacles are just work rivals, ex-lovers, and one-sided crushes.
4) Cheng Hui and Ni Na's love story ended happily, even though they didn't get much screen time.
5) I love how the end credits show flashbacks to their high school days.
6) The wedding ending was quite a surprise. It was cute, though.
7) The OST sung by Zhang Xin Cheng is my favorite.
What I dislike:
1) The story drags a bit. They made it 30 episodes, with the first 10 focusing on pure friendship, the next 10 on worrying about how a relationship might affect their friendship, and the last 10 on the romance. Maybe it would have been better to make it only 24 episodes.
2) I still can’t believe Wei Ran and Yan An didn’t notice their close friends’ feelings for each other until the leads spoiled it themselves.
