Unethical and Awesome
Well... dang. This extra-mini-miniseries is demented but logical and fascinating enough (for me). The ML is metaphorically on another plane, FAR AWAY from the rest of humanity. He's NOT a status or wealth-snob, but he's so powerful, rich, and unfathomably confident, that he embodies the essence of an immortal god/demon. He's a morally-grey ANTIHERO character, that is severely controlling, fierce and deadly but is also diametrically protective, loving and forgiving (toward FL and his assistant). He doesn't allow anyone to control him, even his own mean/controlling mother. His smirk/smile reminds me of a young Damon Salvatore from the Vampire Diaries but he's legitimately powerful enough to be ABOVE the law, like Klaus Michaelson, ("I AM immortal!") 😈, and he knows it. He ALWAYS has a trusting, positive, compassionate outlook of the FL's integrity and personhood - even when she betrays him out of her ignorance. The FL is understandably scared (and frustratingly) small-minded in the face of this type of larger-than-life antihero. Like the rest of us ignorant humans, she's not able to perceive the bigger picture nor find the truth. The happy ending was way too abrupt. Their chemistry was only partially explored via the ML's passionate pursuit and his (mostly forced) 💋 kisses, so the ending is the beginning of their consensual romance.Was this review helpful to you?
Just what i CRAVE IN A ROMANCE TO DIE FOR!
Sizzling, sexy and crazy....damn how i enjoyed "No One, But You"! We have the tough heroine getting fiercely pursued by the "never take no for an answer" hot,sexy and domineering Alpha-male of a Male Hero. The actor did a great job in portraying ML´s obsessiveness. He was so hot and ready for his beloved FL, even she was perplexed by the way he was chasing after her and when she asks him about it his answer is that his heart beats faster whenever he sees her. Ah yeah, he was so hot for her! And crazy too since he was even willing to point a gun to his own mother for the sake of being with the heroine. CRAZY AS HELL, but i loved him more for it as well!Was this review helpful to you?

Outrageous is the one word I choose to describe this drama
I have seen some cuts of this drama on my Youtube dashboard. So I watched on a Sunday evening.What I liked:
1. Visuals - This is my first Liu Lan Bo drama and omigosh he was extremely handsome. Like a vampire well I thought of Edward Cullen because I could imagine him sparking like diamonds when under the sun.
2. Styling - Styling for ML totally elevated Liu Lan Bo's handsomeness. I also liked styling for FL because she didn't look like Lolita despite being a 20 year old. FL's wedding dress is beautiful because it's simple & classy.
3. Supporting character - I liked ML's assistant, who was amusing at times.
What I disliked:
1. ML's characterisation - I dislike him as he was possessive, lunatic & disrespectful to FL. He never tried to get to know & understand FL.
2. Romance - Where are the wooing & the dates? ML was very aggressive towards FL, which I don't find romantic. I don't buy the 'FL had feelings for ML' even at the end. She remained with him because he was lesser of the two devils. Because of this odd dynamic, I didn't see any chemistry between Liu Lan Bo and Zheng Chenyu.
3. Screenplay - The screenplay felt disjointed. I noticed similarities with Captive Love from the Mob Boss (FL saving ML from his enemies, ML stalked & stopped FL from marrying someone else) then second act was inspired from kdrama Where the Phone Rings and third act was the big confrontation with the enemy. The ending was so anticlimactic.
4. FL characterisation - It's good that she never felt for ML's charms just because he was handsome and rich. However FL character elements weren't consistent. At the start she was struggling student working as delivery person but from second act, I didn't know what happened to her studies. What defined FL as an individual?
Favourite scene
When ML first met FL...that's the hook that made me curious about this drama.

The Richest Prince and the Worthy Girl
The story is too good to be true and therefore I will not judge it based on its quality as a film. I just enjoy it as a unique love story.The ML is so handsome and so perfect for the role. He exudes power, fame and glory and influence to the max. He is just perfect as a very handsome actor playing the rich part. He could be a nice Dao Ming Zi. I love the way he is obsessed with the very beautiful but simple, poor girl the FL.
I admire the FL for her courage, good values and determination despite being alone in the world and poor. She worked and studied. I also loved that she is not attracted by offer of money and jewelries by the ML.
Even though the ML is so threatening and even violating her dignity from time to time although he stopped from raping her but still what he was doing was abuse. However, his genuine love for the FL is so heartwarming.
Glad to know that at the end the FL lead realized that the ML was not involved in any crime she suspected him and she has fallen in loved with him also.
It's a Cinderalla story retold in different way... A sort of Meteor Garden way in a certain sense. Hehehe...
