The On1y One (2024)

Profundo

Se você está pensando que esse é mais um daqueles BL's de romance no secundário, esqueça! Esse foge de todos os clichés. Se você já assistiu várias dramas desse estilo, vai passar aqui por muitas cenas que quando começa, você já está vendo o final que vai aparecer e de repente ele segue uma vertente que não é a que você esperava.

É um romance sem romance porque eles não chegam a ficar juntos como namorados. O drama retrata as sutilezas dos traumas que moldaram a personalidade de cada um dos protagonistas e se desenvolve com uma amizade que vai crescendo ao longo dos episódios.

Como é característico de uma produção Taiwanesa, o cerne do drama é mostrar a profundida de como os sentimentos nascem e crescem independente da vontade ou das convenções sociais.
É uma obra sútil e profunda ao mesmo tempo, tocante e de grande qualidade em todos aspectos. É uma obra de arte.
Cabe ressaltar que os protagonistas são feitos por atores de 30 anos interpretando adolescentes de 17 anos, ou seja, a maturidade do elenco influencia na extrema qualidade do trabalho.

Ponto ruim: o drama acaba em um momento de ruptura, onde um deles acaba por optar em tentar suprimir seus sentimentos através do distanciamento, mesmo que para isso tenha sido necessário usar de um subterfúgio que pode lhe prejudicar no futuro escolar, acabando por fazer os dois sofrerem. Ficamos com aquela sensação de "onde está o resto da história?" porque o final sem final nem foi uma cena triste, mas me fez chorar.

More Than a Romance

At first, you may think this is just one more old cliche about two brothers who fall in love. But it's much more than that. It's a beautiful coming of age that digs into feelings of being alone, finding out who you are, love and handling hurt. It goes deep into the youth and not just the easy parts. If you are waiting for a usual boys' love story, think again because this one stays with you. It might even make you bawl your eyes out and leave you wanting more when it ends.

Let's start with Jiang Tian, he is such a deep character, he has many sides and holds a lot of sad feelings. He keeps his emotions hid as if they are dark secrets he does not want to disclose to the world because he is afraid. His past and the marks he has, both in and out, have made him into someone who wants to be near others but is also scared of it. That's when Sheng Wang steps in. What I like is that he doesn’t hit Tian’s life hard like a wrecking ball but rather gently nudges him to drop his guard down.

The two main leads are thrown together because of their parents and suddenly they’re supposed to act like brothers. But they definitely don’t feel like siblings at all. Right from the beginning, there’s this tension - it's not bad, but its definitely not the typical sibling vibe. They are trying to understand each other and coexist but you can feel something brewing underneath even if neither of them is ready to admit it yet.

And yes, it’s a slow burn (a thing that many people did not like) but that’s the beauty of it for me. It pulls you in with all the little moments - quick touches, secret glances and the way they look at each other when they think no one is watching. These tiny details make your heart race. The way their hands accidentally brush together (or maybe not so accidentally) and the gentle, lingering looks they share are all done so subtly - it’s just beautiful.

And it's not only about love, it's also about healing. Wang is gently aiding Tian in facing the pain he has held for ages, just by staying by his side and showing him it's fine to open up and let someone in. And Tian is showing Wang that love can be tough. At times, the ones you hold dear are the toughest to reach, but they are worth the hard work.

And the actors are just amazing. It's not often you see roles played with so much truth. You can sense their sadness, their silent wants and the love they share. Each look and each touch is full of meaning. They act with a rawness that makes it all seem real and nothing feels hurried. This makes their bond really stand out. You are not just seeing love, you are watching it grow, bit by bit.

NOTE ABOUT THE ENDING

I thought the ending was okay but it left some things unresolved. There were moments that felt a bit unsatisfying but since they seem to be hinting at a second season (even without official confirmation) it makes sense. They didn’t rush the plot and allowed the story to develop slowly and thoughtfully. If we’re lucky enough to get a season 2 then we’ll likely see their relationship fully blossom which feels like the natural next step after all this gradual buildup.
