if a warm hug was a bl
this show is so comfortable, there are very emotional and serious scenes, but the sweetness of the main couple just make this feel like a cup of hot chocolate. jin yun, the actor who portraited shaopeng, is such a amazing actor i couldnt believe this is his first acting project, i cried every time he got emotional.honestly, i loved this show so muchh, i just watched it but already feel like watching it again. theres no miscommunication between the main couple, they are very honest and straightforward with each other. the second couple was also very cutesy, i had a lot of fun with them. really wished we had a third couple tho, jessica and shuhe just had a crazyy chemistry, i thought they would end up together, such a pityyy.
the story line was all over the place, it didnt bother me tho, i watched it for the cute romance, but if you are looking for a brilliant screen writing this is definitely not it.
my main critic about the show was the amount of flashbacks it had, omgg it was pissing me off i skipped all of them, why do i need a flashback of something that just happened??? also the acting of lin yu was a bit uncomfortable at times, it wasnt bad, i even thought it was great at some scene, but there were scenes where you could see very clearly the difference between lin yu and jin yun acting and it threw me off a little bit, specially the first scene at the hospital.

A poignant story about two people falling in love, a healthy relationship dynamic for a change
When I clicked on the first episode, I had moderate expectations from this show. The first few scenes made me believe this was going to be a mix of comedy, some cringe but sweet moments and some sensitive emotional angle where we get to understand the struggles of a hearing impaired person.But what I really got out of it is a story that I would like to remember for a really long time, and a couple whose chemistry was so naturally beautiful.
What I liked about the show was that there were not many over the top scenes but rather some really beautiful sensitive scenes that portrayed real human emotions.
I loved the character of Shao Peng, who is the deaf and mute caregiver of the wealthy businessman Zi Xiang. Shao Peng is resilient and sensitive, kind and observant. The way he faces life with so much grace despite all the difficulties he faces is remarkable.
Zi Xiang, on the other hand, grows a lot as a character. I love how he lets Shao Peng know that it is ok to let himself be vulnerable in front of Zi Xiang. The way he says -'You can rely on me too.'
Shao Peng's parents also contributes to this heart-warming love story. It clearly tells you how Shao Peng came to be such a kind and confident person.
Their chemistry was so effortlessly romantic. No over dramatic camera angles, no hyper sexualization - only pure human attraction.
Lastly, I would like to add another thing, that I truly LOVED about this couple. This was probably one of those few bls which had a healthy relationship dynamics. A relationship where the characters actually communicated. No toxic power dynamic or stupid misunderstandings. Just pure love and affection.
'See Your Love' will always hold a special place in my heart.

Looking for love cause wtf y'all...
A mute MC and a wealthy MC, you'd think this is worse, but, they love each other. Eww!!! I'm crying.I paused this a d had to wait for this storm to marinate just at the right temperature and devour it. And that I did, can we all agree you can't get the swoon unless you're really loved/in love. I kept swooning through the entire binge and munched EP after EP.
Outright wowed by the acting and the visuals of the actors too. Hands down for the second couple cause despite the less screen time, they managed to portray their little mishap-rendezvous affair and took it to the next level.(A possible spin off wouldn't hurt)
I recommend this for all the lovers and love stans out there. this should be a guide to romance.

A good series that could have been more
Imma start by saying that i STRONGLY belive that the biggest problem of this series relies in its shortness.Its a typical lenght of a Taiwanese drama (13 ep of 25/30 minutes each) but this one seems to want to fit way more than its actually possible in those 13 episodes.
There are multiple plots going on: the main story, the most important one is between Jiang Shaopeng (we gonna call him Peng) and Yang Zixiang/ Sean. Sean its a rich heir, but he is considered a loser cause he seems to not care about the work he have to do, the girl he has to marry, the whole agency he will get to manage in the future. Peng is a deaf guy, who is desperately searching for a job in the health department but can seem to find one (he gets heavely discriminated because of his deafness). They eventually meed and Sean insist on having Peng as a caregiver (since he is injured). Peng goes living in Sean's house and their relationship starts developing from here on.
God i wish this was the only plot. It was already complicated enough, to deal with all the insecurities that a deaf person and his family and all the insecurities that a rich kid who cannot be free has to go through. But no.
They had to add a mafia/killing plot. I wish i could stay here to talk to u in details about this, but i feel like i genuinely didnt understand shit cause it was treated so casually and fastly that i got completely lost halfway through. Like at first the mafia is up Sean's ass, they kinda want to get rid of him to get his lands. But then the focus switched to the "evil"(?) brother/cousin of Sean. I strongly believe the whole intent behind the "mafia plot" was to introduce a character for the second couple (composed by Cheng Feng Jie/Jonathan, Sean's bodyguard/ assistant, and Wang Xin Jia, one of the guy who tried to kill Sean). However, since there was this drastic change in plots it really didnt made sense at the end.
Also like, the beginning of ep 13 left me speechless. Tf u need those gun for??? What??? Whyy????
And as if it was not enough we have two women in the show, one is in love with Peng, the other is Sean's future wife. Like i get the point of throwing them in, but since they teased us with a possible follow up of their relationship i wish we could have seen more from them, but they were kinda left hanging as if it was nothing.
The show itself wasnt bad. It was kinda cool as well. The actors all did an amazing job (surprised a lot by the main couple, if im not wrong they are both rookie actor, or at least Peng's actor is a rookie, and managed to portait deathness well) so like they did a very good job for what concerned them. The main plot (and even the second couple) are so cute when they are not dealing with that mafia bullshit, and the moments were very cute and pure (chemestry was chemestring).
So, if this series was a bit longer they could have conveyed all the plots better, and not negligent one in favour of the other, but the desire to throw everything in this series kinda made it worst.
Overall tho a nice and fast watch, give it a try:>

A Somber Romance with Excellent Storytelling
Sometimes the greatest love stories are the unspoken ones—the kind that quietly sneak up on us, built from a glance, a touch, and a feeling rather than words.The Taiwanese BL See Your Love, starring Lin Yu as Yang Zi Xiang (“Sean”) and Kim Yun as Jiang Shao Peng, explores love in its many forms, focusing on how it is expressed in subtle, powerful ways.
The story introduces Yang Zi Xiang, a seemingly spoiled and mischievous heir visiting Taiwan for business, and Jiang Shao Peng, a deaf man facing constant rejection in his search for a job that values his skills rather than fixating on his disability. Through their unlikely connection, these two find love, acceptance, and trust, forming a bond that transcends words.

Not Bad!
Okay so at first I was getting scared, I thought to myself “Oh god it’s gonna be bad” because it started off very slow, there wasn’t anything eye catching for me or anything that kept me wanting to watch more but I still gave it a try and continued cause I thought the story could be cute. Thankfully I was patient and continued watching, and it was worth it. The story got better, things escalated, we got shown more emotion, more chemistry, more drama, more action. The part that did it for me, and it just made me go “wow” was when in Episode 9 Jian Shao Peng’s mom collapsed and he was crying in the hospital while explaining how frustrated he is to Yang Zi Xiang, he showed the emotion of helplessness, sadness, anger and frustration so well in a couple seconds, literally amazing acting god. After that the story was very in the middle, we got some action but also cute moments or plain moments. I won’t say this is the best BL show ever, or the best Taiwanese BL show, obviously it lacks a bit, but it wasn’t bad either. I would fix a couple things or add/remove a couple things. I really liked the representation towards people who can’t hear, I really love shows who do that. But I feel like it was a bit over dramatic in some areas and also it felt like the background story of the characters had some holes mainly Yan Zi Xiang’s, I’m the type to not like super long background stories to the point I know every single detail ever, but I feel like for this one it was a bit necessary for some parts. But overall great short show to binge in a day. 7.5/10Was this review helpful to you?
DON'T SLEEP ON THIS BL GEM
See Your Love isn’t your typical BL series. It’s refreshingly different, especially with its deaf representation, which you rarely see in the genre. The story follows Shao Peng, a deaf and mute guy who’s eager to land a caregiver job, and Zi Xhiang, a rich and laid-back guy who ends up hiring him.It’s a fluffy series with just the right mix of comedy and a bit of action thrown in. What hooked me was how engaging the first episode was, I was instantly invested. Honestly, I’m shocked this show is so underrated. A lot of BL fans are definitely sleeping on this gem.
The chemistry between the leads is next level. Their connection is undeniable, even through subtle stares and small gestures. The acting? Spot on. Even the side couple is adorable and adds charm to the story.
Shao Peng’s portrayal as a deaf character is really convincing. And while Zi Xhiang starts off as a so-called “useless rich kid,” I genuinely admire how he puts in the effort to learn sign language just to communicate better with Shao Peng. That’s not easy, and it says a lot about his character. He even starts trying harder at work, all for Shao Peng. Total green flag couple!
The kisses and intimate scenes? Super natural, with zero awkwardness.
There is one scene that really hurt to watch, when Zi Xhiang says some harsh stuff to Shao Peng. It was heartbreaking, and honestly, I wish he hadn’t gone there. Being deaf isn’t anyone’s fault, and the worst part? No real apology.
Also… am I the only one confused about the cousin drama? Like, he wants to take over the family business but is also trying to block Zi Xhiang’s relationship with Shao Peng? Dude should be thrilled Zi Xhiang has no interest in the business. The logic just isn’t logic-ing.
Zi Xhiang’s dad against with their relationship but it wasn’t really explored in depth, and in the end it’s unclear whether he gave in or still does things for them to break up.. On the flip side, I absolutely adored Shao Peng’s family, they were so kind, warm, and supportive.
If I had to point out one downside, it’d be the excessive flashbacks. With only 27 minutes per episode, the constant flashbacks felt a bit much. They could’ve used that time to move the plot forward instead. I would have give this a 9/10 but the excessive flashbacks made it choppy, so I gave it 8.5/10.
Still, See Your Love is meaningful, easy to watch, and never feels dragged out. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out.

So good
I had my doubts about this series at first and didn't really think it was worth my time but now I AM SO MAD I DIDN'T WATCH IT EARLIER. It is so freaking cute!!!!!!! I love the main couple so much! The height difference was height differencing,both the characters were cute as hell, and I LOVE how they communicate with each other without speaking any words. LOVED their story from beginning till the end. Even though it had some romantic cliques but it was cute rather than annoying. But now the not so great part. I didn't really vibed with the second couple well and wished their scenes was even more short than it already was. The gangster boy was literally so useless,he literally didn't help out with anything. He was just a romantic interest for the second dude. Also the villain is really a waste of space. His reasons for hating Sean was so stupid. Like bro,you already got what you want,why do you still have a grudge on him. How was THAT any of his fault. Actually you should be grateful that he helped you. Lmao,all this grudge for nothing. Welp besides these two things that bothered me. The series was so good. Good plot,good characters,good chemistry,good make out scenes and I mean REALLY GOOD make out scenes. A solid 8.5/10.Was this review helpful to you?
Lovely series, I need one more episode
Jin Yun is a great actor, lovely, innocent but always confident. Great series to know a bit more about love under all circumstances, basic plot but very well acting and directing.Just, I lack one more episode, for some details to resolve or get more clear, but it is kinda obvious that the protagonists got at the end more mature, self-aware and more looking ahead, so the next steps are sure to happen, however they didn't happen clearly.
The expected romance, yeah is predictable, but it is happening slowly, more realistic like. It's nice to know so much about the psychological background of the characters.

Crappy 'villains'. Good love story
If you want to watch this series for the love story that is between Yang Zi Xiang and Jiang Shao Peng- I say go right ahead. Their story was told so beautifully that you will not regret it. If you are here to see the people who stood in the way of their happiness, don't even bother. They have like three villains (give or take), and all three of them just felt flat. I guess that's the power of the boys love, as they were able to overcome these hurdles so easily, as love for each other was the answer. It can also be said that Yang Zi Xiang's dad was not really a villain—he did the things that he did as he was looking for the best interest for Yang Zi Xiang.The secondary male couple was, of course, their scenes stole from the show every time they appeared in this series. I just wished that we were able to get to spend some more time with them. Also, there is a hint of a GL couple (or the beginning of one) in this series, as the girls were not able to break up the main couple.
All in all, it was a good watch, and I am glad that I decided to give it a watch.

A gem that seems under-publicized
I really love the main couple in this BL. Although there are small parts of the plot that seem a little under-developed and even clichéd, the main story of the main characters meeting each other and the development of their relationship is done very well.Jiang Shao Peng, one of the main characters, is a person with a disability, and I'm glad that the disability is portrayed with positivity without denying the problems faced by people with disabilities. The title, See Your Love, alludes to the fact that Jiang suffers from hearing impairment (and is unable to speak)--he literally has to rely on his sight, either through sign language or through actions, to understand that Yang Zi Xiang loves him.
On the surface, Yang is a lazy nepo baby. Thankfully, though, he is not portrayed as an insufferable scion. It is somewhat clichéd that he is being forced to take over the family business and enter a political marriage. Nonetheless, he comes across as a relatable character who is neither idealized nor hyperbolically obnoxious.
See Your Love is ultimately a feel-good BL that succeeds in what it intends to do. The side BL couple are adorable in their own way, but they don't overshadow the main couple. What some may dislike, however, is Yang's fiancée appearing and trying to break him and Jiang up. She doesn't end up being too evil, but the trope may irritate some people.
This is probably one of the best Taiwanese BLs in 2024. Although a lot of BLs feature more unconventional plots nowadays, few come close to See Your Love in making me feel the love between the characters and start rooting for them.

I love the consistency!
This was so refreshing, I didn't expect this to be so good. I'm glad that they did a new story unlike the other BL with the same plot and etc.The two main couple was such a cuties! Their height difference is everything and they both look so freaking handsome. I didn't expect how small Zixiang is after he met Shaopeng.
I love how consistent the director/writer of this series, even in Shaopeng's POV they did't use a voice, instead they show up text with plain background and I really love that. However, there were still some dull moments and the kissing scenes was kinda repetitive hahah the time they started kissing, they start to kiss to the following episodes, tho some of them I think a hug was enough to avoid cringe feeling. I just hope that the pacing wasn't too fast. Nevertheless, It is still a good drama with interesting plot and characters. Indeed, Taiwanese BL was a masterpiece.
