watching BL in the corner of my room

Taiwan does it again!
We Best Love was way more entertaining than I ever believe it would be. I'm not a fan of enemies to lovers (but it lowkey wasn't?) so my first thought was that I wasn't going to enjoy it, but I was wrong. We Best Love brought on beautiful actors to portray these love-sick puppies and their glorious stories.
Let's Dive In
The production was really nice. The use of lighting and colors was big in this series. The music went perfectly with the overall mood of the series and the flow of the plot was magnificent. There wasn't anything they showed that felt irrelevant to the story; everything was where it needed to be. With a good flowing plot, it was easy to understand the characters and their conflicts.
I really enjoyed our two leads' performances. They felt very authentic and realistic, which with some pairings in BL you just don't get. All intimate scenes were done well, and I could really feel how much they enjoyed each other's company. The only thing that I found kind of hard to believe was how fast Zhou Shu Yi fell for Gao Shi de after he had overheard him confessing his love. He was pretty oblivious, as well as not showing any signs of liking Gao before then so I would've liked for that to have been given some more time. Their relationship felt pretty rushed, but they were cute, so I'm not too upset. We don't see much of Bing Wei and Zhe Yu in a relationship, only that it was subtly hinted at at the very end, so hopefully, we'll see more of them. They seem like they'll be our comedic pairing next season. I liked how helpful Shou Yi was with getting our leads together. The bartender seemed to might have some hidden feelings for him, so let's see where that goes next season. Yu Xin or Zheng Wen's relationship was nice I guess, but sadly I didn't care much for them (Although, Zack Fan is a gorgeous man).
I'm glad that everyone was already so accepting of Zhou Shu and Gao Shi's relationship without having to go through that period of acceptance. Even the mom was super accepting, so it made the watch much lighter. During Zhou Shu's confession, he somewhat uses the forbidden BL term, "I don't like men, I only like you." But in a more passionate way. It pretty much carried me out of the story completely and I was about ready to hang it up. Had that part not existed, this show would have a perfect score.
Overall, I really enjoyed my watch with this show. The first few episodes were a bit difficult for me to watch (like this show took me two weeks to finish when it consisted of 6, 30-minute episodes), but the last three caught onto the plot better and I was in full force afterward. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of enemies to lovers, I still really enjoyed this. As of now, season 2 is on my to-watch list, so hopefully, I will get to that sooner or later.
