Best Bromance (NON BL) drama since killer and healer and word of Honor
This drama is all about Male friendship between the two male leads,, the romance with the female lead is subtle and not overly exaggerated,, it's friendship and youth struggles in lifeI loved loved the friendship
to have that long lost friend finds you and protect you from your own self that's friendship goals
one of the two friends is desperate to carry his grandmother's responsibility in a young age and she's sick most of the time
he endured everything on his own for his only family, his grandmother until his childhood friend found him again and began pursuing him to connect again and to live his young age properly
of course, the young man has a lot of responsibilities towards earning money for a living and taking care of his ailing granny
but his friend and his new girlfriend of sorts didn't leave his side,, they did everything possible to help him take care of his granny and also get him to feel happy and wanted again
it's really emotional story and really amazing sweet friendship you can't miss
I felt happy watching this drama and feeling all these amazing feelings of love without cause or sexual intent
pure innocent strong love
I really recommend it

A Bromance Drama Disguise as a BL Drama
'Alone With Me' was a bromance drama disguised as a BL(Boy Love) drama. If you don't believe me, watch the drama for yourselves and see what I mean. The two male actors' bromance was kind of cute. And their chemistry was alright. The actors' and actresses' acting wasn't terrible and awkward. Their acting was passable.Anyway, the drama is not one of the best Chinese dramas out there, but it's not horrible. It's a decent drama with a simple plot. The production value was neither good nor bad. They were just decent. So overall, I semi-like the drama. The drama is a one-time watch for me. I wouldn't watch it again.

Oh dear!
When you look at the core of it all, there isn’t really a story there. And for a slice-of-life drama, it just isn’t interesting enough. The over-polished commercial aesthetics don’t help either. It is a story of artificial conflict caused by misunderstandings and weird interpretations of things that happened ten years ago. And it is all very predictable. The only surprise was a dance interlude in the last episode.The whole entrepreneurship competition storyline is so unbelievably kindergarten that it is a very hard to watch cringe fest.
Now for the reason we’re all here: the bromance. Well, the chemistry between the boys is somewhat there and believable, but far from sizzling. And don’t expect any fanservice.
Super annoying: a het romance of one of the ML that lasts a hot second, comes out of nowhere and vanishes the same way. And the useless side couple. And the grandma character has not even more depth than the dog.

All generation watch
I started watching this in iQIYI. First 2 episodes are free and at this time of review 1/16/23 there were 8 episodes released to watch already.It’s an everyday life story dealing with the social economic living dealing with independence and responsibilities at an early age. It also tells a story about friendship.
I can tell it’s for any early adult to late adulthood viewers. The story is simple and easy to follow. Anyone striving with making a living and being responsible will be able to relate to the main characters.
Romance is there’s but didn’t really start for main characters til episode 7 I believe. So far, I can’t really tell where the romance part is heading-still unclear.
I bit confusing with some scenes in regards to main characters’ backgrounds. Story about them trickles slowly. I completed episode 8 and still not sure why one of main lead changed his name, and why the other male lead sometimes is swimming in money and then the next do not have any but able to offer help with other lead actors’s grandmothers nursing facility.
I’ll edit my review after I watch all episodes.
