I have no words! Like oh my God!
I saw a clip on YouTube and was shocked for a second, seeing a Chinese bl drama with the leads kissing. I quickly went to the comments section, saw it wasn't actually Chinese but Taiwanese, got the name of the drama and soonest possible I was in Drama Cool watching it. (I mean it's free there, so).I have never been so disappointed with the number of episodes like I was when I watched WBL. Just 6 episodes, but why???
Gao Shi De, amazing deep voice, handsome man, tall.... (I could go on).
Zhou Shu Yi, tbh, at first I didn't think that much of him but since I fell in love at first sight with Gao Shi De, I decided to entertain him and he did not disappoint. These two have the best chemistry ever and having to portray all that in just 6 episodes, amazing! Amazing!
This is a beautiful series!
I keep repeating it, (to the point where they might come up for air and ask for water … Lol) I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching it.
Pei Shou Yi is an angel. He actually played a big role helping these two get together.
If you haven't watched it, please do.

One Of My Favourite BL Couples
These are one of my favourite couples in bl world. I’m someone who rates the chemistry between characters very highly, as I think it goes a long way in establishing the characters, the believability of their feelings and it helps sell the story. I prioritise this over many technical aspects and shortcomings of a production. Thankfully, this series does well in all aspects. It’s a good balance of strong production and strong portrayals.I would actually rate this an 8.3 but MDL doesn’t allow you to do that.

I loved it but it was too short!
I loved the story and the acting but it could really have done being double the length that it was to allow for everything to be more fleshed out. Especially the secondary characters felt a bit rushed and undeveloped, which is a shame because it had so much potential. Nevertheless, the acting was great and the story was good so I still enjoyed it a lot and am looking forward to watching the second season now :DWas this review helpful to you?

one of the best BLs
I've been binge watching so much dramas lately, and we best love really did stand out.the story might look cliche at first, but the way it is executed is refreshing, thanks to the actors and how good their acting is!
it's my first time hearing about YU, and he was amazing.
I absolutely loved the chemistry between the characters, and honestly, a story can be the best one ever, if the main couple don't have chemistry, well..it's doomed !
anyway I'd really recommend this one, as I am going to watch the 2ne season

I just Love this drama so much!
This is really the best BL story that I have had the pleasure to watch The story, the emotions, the acting OMG the acting, so amazing! I cannot wait to keep watching, hopefully more and more seasons. The main couple connection and emotions are above and beyond, their eyes just talk, they just say everything they are feeling. I have watched a fair amount of BL dramas and let me tell you, this is my number 1 right now. The story is just captivating, and their love will make you fall in love with them. I guarantee it! This is a MUST-watch!Was this review helpful to you?
BEST BL OF 2021! HANDS DOWN
I never write reviews for any tv show or series but after I watched We Best Love, I needed to tell the world how incredible this show is! You will not regret watching this as it will tug at your heartstrings and you will never want to stop watching this over and over again. The lead couple played by Sam & YU are the highlight of this series, their chemistry is unmatched and unlike any other BL couple I have ever seen. The romance is believable, immensely adorable and so heartwarming. Also, might I add, the kisses are beyond realistic and passionate! I have not seen an on screen couple kiss like they do, and it will give you all the feels. Yes, the show uses a much used background of "enemies" to lovers in university but the pace is brilliant, the direction is impressive and the characters are so lovable, you will be fans by the end of it. The side couples are also worth sticking around for. I would highly recommend this show.Was this review helpful to you?

Cute leads, good chemistry and one-sided pining done right
A guilty pleasure drama that's sweet and short, with tropey main leads that could've easily been cringe but instead came off natural, and one-sided pining done right. One is chaotic evil, overly cute and charming but painfully unaware, and the other is the sweet, hopeless romantic who's been silently pining for him for most of their lives.Overall very fun and cute! The ending is wtf so I'm going to have to watch the 2nd season now for some closure even though I wasn't planning to, but okay whatever. I'm glad to see more of Gao Shi De lol.

Best BL of the Year! Don't read the spoilers or reviews and just go watch it!
This is the perfect BL. It encompasses everything that is BL. Season 1 has the whole student/university innocent love story while Season 2 has the adult angsty drama. It's the whole package.(Some notes about the Special Edition Ver. for Season 1 at the bottom.)
Anyways, I'll focus on Season 1 now.
Story:
Gao Shi De has always been a thorn in Zhou Shu Yi's side. He's always excelled in everything and should have been number 1 in everything, if it wasn't for Gao Shi De. When Zhou Shu Yi got into college, he thought that was in end of it. Gao Shi De went to a different university so everything should have been good, but now Gao Shi De has transferred to his university. His life is a mess again. His female friend that Zhou Shu Yi has been crushing on is in love with his best friend and now he has to deal with Gao Shi De. It doesn't help that Gao Shi De saw through his pathetic crush and is trying to help him get over it. Zhou Shu Yi's supposed to hate Gao Shi De right?
This is an amazing story. Enemies to Lovers is not anything new in BL or in Romance, but what is new is that Zhou Shu Yi is half-Japanese and it incorporated it into the story. Zhou Shu Yi often uses Japanese phrases to express himself when he's talking to himself or doesn't want to be understood. His friends also accept that and use Japanese phrases too. It's really realistic to someone who is mutli-ethnic. (I'm half-Japanese, and I also use Japanese phrases when talking to myself or when I don't want to be understood. Sometimes there are words in Japanese that express things better than in English too.) I love how Gao Shi De nor any of this friends address the fact that he's half-Japanese and just accept it. In a usual story the fact that Zhou Shu Yi's half-Japanese would be high-lighted and constantly brought up. There is none of that in this story.
Another thing that's different from the norm is that Gao Shi De isn't seeking to be Zhou Shu Yi's boyfriend. He literally just wants to be friends. Yes, he's in love with Zhou Shu Yi, but he spent so long being hated by him that he just wants to be friends and be able to talk to Zhou Shu Yi normally. It was so heartbreaking when Zhou Shu Yi found out about his crush, yet instead of saying "Yes, I'm in love with you. Please date me." He literally told Zhou Shu Yi, "It's none of your business." He was pushing his feelings to the side because he thought Zhou Shu Yi wouldn't accept his love and he didn't want to break their friendship. Such a selfless love!
Acting:
The chemistry between Gao Shi De and Zhou Shu Yi is amazing. Gao Shi De doesn't even have to speak and we can already see what he's thinking and feeling. Gao Shi De might be stoic, but just look into his eyes and you feel every emotion. Such talent! Zhou Shu Yi has significantly a lot more lines than Gao Shi De, but that doesn't mean he can't express himself either. Zhou Shu Yi is more in touch with his emotions and let's them out. He physically shows all of his emotions be it happiness, anger, or pain. Zhou Shu Yi also has the best teary-eye/emotional scenes in the whole BL industry. I can barely name any actors that can compare with him when is comes to scenes that are so emotional they make you tear up. Anyone can cry when they're sad, but to be so emotional that you have tears forming in your eyes, and you don't know why you're crying? Zhou Shu Yi's actor is amazing.
This BL is so amazing that there really isn't much to criticize. If there is any criticism it would be Zhou Shu Yi's Chinese language skills. I don't speak Chinese, so I can't say too much. That being said, since he is acting right next to other Chinese speaking actors, even I can hear it sometimes. Again, I don't speak Chinese, so it doesn't bother me, but I can understand why it would bother some people. However, I can chalk it up to Zhou Shu Yi being half-Chinese, half-Japanese. Realistically though, if Zhou Shu Yi was born and raised in Taiwan his Chinese would be better than Japanese. But seeing as in Season 2 his dad speaks better Japanese than Chinese, I guess the apple didn't fall too far from the tree. Everything can be explained nicely though the storyline, so it works out for me. I do feel bad that the fans are knit-picking at Zhou Shu Yi's actor's Chinese skills (even to the actor's himself) when he was born and raised in Japan, so obviously his Japanese is better than Chinese. If you want to start knit-picking at language, aside from Zhou Shu Yi's actor, when the Chinese actors speak Japanese they have terrible pronunciation. It doesn't bother me though, since they are Chinese and not fluent in Japanese. You can't have everything perfect in life you know. Can all of you criticizing him even speak two languages fluently with perfect pronunciation for both languages? I think most of you can't, so I think it's time we all just sweep this topic under the rug.
Overall:
We Best Love is amazing. One of the best BLs out there. If you haven't watched it, you should.
~~~~~~~~~~ We Best Love: No 1 Special Edition ~~~~~~~~~~
What's the difference?
Bing Wei and Zhe Yu's confrontation scene in the locker room is extended. This is probably the most important scene since they are a featured side couple in the 2nd season. Other than that not much. Just a few scenes other extended, but not important. For example, instead of a short hug or kiss, they just show a few extra seconds of it. I'm not going to name all of them since it does nothing for the story. Season 2 is where the Special Edition is important.
Should you watch the Special Edition first or watch it on the re-watch?
I would just watch the Special Editions. But if you want to watch the normal version and Special Editions then... How do I put this... Watch both normal versions of Season 1 and Season 2 then watch the Special Editions on the rewatch.
YES - Special Edition S1 → Special Edition S2 (Skipping the Normal version is okay)
YES - Normal Ver. S1 → Normal Ver. S2 → Special Edition S1 → Special Edition S2
NO - Normal Ver. S1 → Special Edition S1 → Normal Ver. S2 → Special Edition S2
(You won't understand why they extended some scenes)
NO - Special Edition S1 → Special Edition S2 → Normal Ver. S1 → Normal Ver. S2
(The rewatch will be boring. Especially Season 2's rewatch. You'll probably claim that you wasted your time watching the normal version since you watched it the Special Editions first.)
