Depth of Love (2025)

Abs, sexy scenes and excellent chemistry were reasons I enjoyed this drama

I write for subreddit CShortDramas and the day this drama dropped, we were doing weeklong content for Steamy Week. Of course I had to watch this drama immediately. I enjoyed immensely. If I only had 1 month to live, yes I would shag Cao Tian Kai 😉.

What I liked:
1. Romance - Damn, there were many spicy scenes. Their love language was definitely physical touch. There were some sweet moments too, mostly initiated by ML. I enjoyed the dynamic and banter between FL and ML.
2. FL characterisation - Ha, I love her take charge attitude .
3. ML characterisation - He was hooked to her after they slept together but I liked that he was nice and sweet to her.
4. Acting - Before this drama, I never felt moved by Liu Xi Yu's acting but I really liked her performance here. I am a fan of Cao Tian Kai and he was great in his role. Both Liu Xi Yu and Cao Tian Kai had excellent chemistry and rapport because without them, those spicy scenes would be "sterile".
5. Styling - Wonderful outfits worn by LXY & CTK. I loved the red dress and the black and red office wear!
6. Humour - Ha, that nightie in ML’s house moment caught me by surprise . Good one, writer!

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - FL’s mother and stepfather were horrendous. The green tea was another nepo baby using her connections to get hired at ML’s company.
2. Connection - There was not much emotional intimacy and trust between FL and ML with FL keeping things to herself. Since she looked at the relationship as temporary, she should have come clean about her illness.

Favourite scene
The first time ML saw FL crying. I loved it because FL couldn’t hold up the tough exterior thus ML got to see her in a vulnerable moment.

While I generally liked it, there were a few things that I didn't appreciate very much.

1- good acting but I didn't like the pushy ML, you already have her, why being so overbearing.

2- everyone seems to be blind, the two leads kiss and touch anywhere, and in front of everyone, but magically no one seems to notice any of that.

3- the whole cancer idea, I don't like the idea of having a doctor that can cure any disease lol what are you? A sorcerer??

4- answer me this question if you watched the drama, apparently the FL after she slept with the ML gave him her resignation letter the next morning in the office, at least that's what the subtitles says, and she still work for him after that? How? And if it wasn't a resignation letter, what was it exactly that he signed??

Aside from that it's fun show, I believe all actors with good bodies have to show them and be topless most of the times, cliché but a feast for the eye nonetheless, the FL is so beautiful and cute.

I don't think it deserves such a high rating tbh, but I believe all the shows with hot scenes are rated higher, generally recommended because it was good enough ~~
