We Best Love: Fighting Mr. 2nd

gold tier standard BL content. no contest, easily the best series!

The second season of We Best Love cemented the fact that this series deserves far more recognition and attention than it does now. It's on a whole level of its own in terms of acting, directing and script writing. Fighting Mr. 2nd just blew me away the moment I started watching it, from the obviously talented cast; especially YU (who is a newcomer and this is his first ever acting role), who just radiates and shines in his role as Shu Yi. Sam Lin who plays Shi De also stuns and amazes audiences with his vulnerability especially in the second ep of this season. Both YU and Sam are formidable actors with incredible talent, and I would even dare say their skill shown in season two deserves all the awards (international recognition even). You grow with the main couple, you see their faults and you love their honesty - ultimately you will fall in love with their love for each other. It's rare to find such a gem in the BL world, where you just immerse yourself fully into the romance, not thinking about the gender but completely enthralled by the passion. I can't wait to see what these actors and the series has in store for season 3 (which is confirmed).

I liked it even more than the 1rst one (if that is even possible)

I cannot stressed more that this story is like no other story on a BL drama. You just have your heart pending on a thread the entire time, in a good and bad way, cause you know and feel what they are feeling throughout the whole series. It was extremely emotional for me, because their emotions were so raw and pure, and I get invested emotionally when watching a drama.

I have to mention that Pei shou Yi and Yu Zhen Xuan story broke me, it was so sad and hopeful at the same time... love does not have to perfect to be amazing and powerful. The little details... Oof! LOVED LOVED LOVED! You will not regret watching this BL drama, not for a second. Just GO! WATCH IT! LOL

Wish it was longer

Review is for the Special Edition. The way I feel about this one is similar to how I felt about the first one — everything about the leads is great (the chemistry, the tension, the banter) except for how much time we actually got to spend with them. I'm glad the misunderstanding wasn't dragged out, but it also made it feel like drama for the sake of drama between the two seasons. I also thought the side characters' story was decent, but once again, there were so few episodes that I would've preferred getting more of the main leads instead.

Ultimately, I still think I prefer season 1 over 2 for its innocence the campus setting, but this is still a satisfying ending to the story, and the OST is beautiful.

Important plot point omitted

The story was good. The acting was mediocre, although leaning to a finer level. Certain scenes could use some background music, although in season 1 it is true that a particular moment had its highlight with a song. Anyway, I am just a little disappointed with how they dealt with the cause of their fallout. In season 1, they teased the second season with the misunderstanding in Shou Yi's pov, and yet in season 2, they do not even clarify or give more detail about what really happened in Shi De's pov because he does not remember. As a vital part of the plot, there could have been more elements added to it to avoid plot holes.

That's why communication is important in all relationships...

Finally, the 2nd installment of We best love. A series that I had high expectations because of its cliffhanger from its 1st season.

The series starts off five years later after the 1st installment. We get to see the characters that are now working. The first episode right at the bat was intense and dramatic. Kudos to the actors for portraying the expressions of their characters well.

Apart from the good production and OST used in the series, the pacing of the story is fast paced due to its 30 mins running time per episode. There were a lot of tense moments that will surely grip the audience followed by hot and steamy moments from Gao Shi De and Shu Yi that will also not disappoint.

What really bothered me though was the fact that they didn't insert the most important scene that all of the viewers / audience were waiting - the scene in which Gao Shi De tells Zhou Shu Yi who the blonde was. I actually had an inkling of what was the identity of the blonde character, but seriously though, that was an important scene and I don't really get why they had to delete it. By deleting that important scene, it didn't give justification to the point of the entire series.

Another thing is that, I'd prefer if all of the couples had their own series. In my opinion, i felt that this series had abruptly focused on the 3rd couple in the last episodes (Pei Shou and Yu Zhen Xuan). After the intense previous episodes from Gao Shi De and Zhou Shu Yi in which they fight and make up, the sudden shift of focus to the other side couple was really lacking. I wasn't satisfied with how the relationship of the main couple was handled in the series. The execution was great at the beginning, but it fell midway for me.

In conclusion, this is just my opinion, I actually prefer the first season rather than its sequel. The sequel is good too, but there were some inconsistencies for me. Other than that, I still enjoyed watching this series. It's still a highly recommend watch for me. So yeah... Enjoy watching.. :)

I thought this show could be my number 1 series of 2021, unfortunately it failed sending every satisfaction moments after episode 3. I didn't say it was bad, I wouldn't dare to do so! I really want to feel any love that I felt like the first one.

I actually wondering why I felt this way, but the most reasonable answer is I putted an expectation with a huge number of this series. I fell in love with their story in the first place, but somehow I have been thinking that this show could be better than it was.

Or maybe, they just left us many questions to be answered in the next season?

Fucking Shu Yi's dad is worse than Max's in TWM series! I mean this guy wants to be in the running for worst BL father ever and stand next to Kao's gangster father in UWMA. This dad wants to have high motherfucking tea with Zee's dad from Why R You.

You get the point. Lol

Honestly I just LOVE THIS COUPLE. Like ffs despite the ridiculous, overused, misunderstanding plot device they used this season. The skin ship, their chemistry, the dialog! It's so on point.

And ngl I was really into Pei's story this season because in the last one he gives the impression that he's into Gao Shi de but when he starts saying what's really going on, and his relationship with Yu Zhen ffs it got to me! Especially the desperation in poor Yu Zhen when he finds out about Pei's disorder those scenes were super angsty and I loved it.

In fact in general I love the angst in this show.

So why not 10 rating? I feel like the misunderstandings plot device, the arc where the guy disappears for years it just bugs me tbh xD but again that's just personal preference.



But I can't wait for the next season.

I AM BLOWN THE FUCK AWAY

Oh. My. God. Whatta beginning, hoo whee! That slap???? I was clutching my PEARLS. I have never been so surprised watching pretty much anything, the moment it happened I was RIVETED. And also so firmly on my anger muffin's side because bro fr?? You put in all that effort just to squander it? You deserve to be hit again (and hit again he was :D). Whooo I feel exhilarated, it's wild. I will sob and mourn this series like my nonexistent first born child if it goes downhill from here because this is absolutely the gold standard for how to start a sequel, holy shit.

Aaaand, I'm done. This was a masterpiece, good from beginning to end. No time was wasted, even though I have some gripes with the side couples. The music was phenomenal, the ACTING jfc, I'm not recovering from the first few episodes anytime soon. Conflicts were handled understandably quickly considering its a six episode series. Speaking of the length, I really don't know if I want this to be longer. It deserves more time-- it deserves all the time-- but it utilized what it had very well and added absolutely no unnecessary bullshit, which I appreciate more than having a lot of episodes.

The side couple (specifically the mental illness bros one) irked me a bit because I liked their story and how it was handled (mostly), but I also never felt invested in it. I liked both characters as well, but with only 3 hours to see Anger Muffin and Shi De, I was almost counting each second their story took from the main couple. I didn't need their story, even if I liked it, so it was irksome.

All that said, this has my heart. I liked this more than the prequel, and I really, really liked the prequel. Shi De's acting in episodes one and two really cannot be overstated-- any compliment would be too little. Same for Shu Yi honestly. This is worth a watch, an immediate rewatch, and then several more rewatches without a ton of time in between, which I say as a human who doesn't rewatch things ever, really.

Ok bye, I'm gonna go rewatch the first two eps. Maybe the third too.

Um grande potencial desperdiçado

Sinceramente, achei que todo o drama criado com o final bombástico da primeira temporada foi extremamente mal explorado. Escolhas muito rasas e mal elaboradas que não justificam a proporção que tomaram.
A gravidez de risco da mãe do Shi De e ele ter que lidar com muitas coisas é até ok, mas ele não ter tempo de responder sequer uma mensagem do garoto que ele é perdidamente apaixonado por anos, mas ter tempo de fazer piquenique com a suposta irmã (que nunca foi explicada e ele insiste em dizer que não lembra quem é a garota... ?) e mandar justamente os emails que nunca chegaram é muita desculpa esfarrada pra separação.
Além do mais, essa desculpa de: "Vou ficar 5 anos longe de você pra você não brigar com a sua família e não sofrer"; não cola. Ele achou que ia ficar 5 anos longe do garoto e só pq tava rico tudo ia se acertar? O Shu Yu não ia sofrer? Ah, me poupe.
Não teve drama e nem emoção. Voltaram muito fácil, com o velho clichê de um ficar doente e o outro cuidar, isso ainda na metade dos episódios terminou de matar a série. O drama da empresa foi muito trivial e desnecessário, não agregou em nada.
O casal dos dois amigos tem 0 profundidade. Era melhor nem ter unido os dois, pq ficou uma relação forçada e tóxica. Até no final, com o pedido de casamento, parece que o Zhe Yu considera o Bing Wei um capacho, que precisa se arrastar demais pra chegar aos pés dele.
Shou Yi e Zhen Xuan, que pra mim estavam bem chatos a temporada toda, eram minha única esperança de salvar aquele final, mas apesar do drama final ter sido interessante, achei que teve uma mudança muito brusca para o transtorno afetivo de ambos, principalmente Shou Yi, mas foi a melhor trama, apesar de ter sido deixada para o último episódio.
Em suma, esperava mais. Decepcionado com o rumo e a decadência de uma história tão bem construída na primeira temporada. Toda a expectativa e ansiedade que foi deixava com a cena do reencontro morreu ali. A química dos atores foi totalmente apagada pelo enredo fraco. Se tivesse acabado na primeira temporada teria sido perfeita.
