Gorgeous Men, Sizzling Chemistry… and a Plot That Did Them Dirty

Okay so... I just finished Exclusive Love and my brain is melting but also mildly raging?? 😭

First off, let’s talk visuals. ALL FOUR main guys? Literal walking perfection. Like, did the casting team just raid heaven?? Tang DuZhi and Wang Zhan had me staring at my screen like 🫠 every time they shared a scene. And don’t even get me started on Zhang YiQing and Tu JingHe—those high school flashbacks?? TOO CUTE, I was kicking my feet fr.

And episodes 11 and 12?? MA’AM. The NC scenes were 🔥🔥🔥. Steamy, emotional, intense—the chemistry between both couples was insane. I was living for every second.

One scene that broke me: Tang DuZhi secretly listening to Wang Zhan sing after losing his parents. Like?? The pain?? The love?? He never even told him. I was curled up in a ball sobbing.

BUT—and this is a big but—the plot? Baby what is you doing?? 😩 The whole "he’s a funeral director and he gets kidnapped" angle was… unnecessary. He’s a grown man, why are we doing this? It felt like a weird excuse to get the story rolling.

Also... WHY are both couples acting like they're in a slow-burn soap opera when they've already admitted feelings??? Tang DuZhi and Wang Zhan playing emotional ping-pong, and YiQing still going through with a marriage after confessing to Tu JingHe??? It’s giving frustration. Just kiss and be together omg.

And don’t even get me started on that ending. 12 episodes and they CRAM everything into the finale—confessions, NC scenes, then suddenly both couples are married?? No proposals, no proper resolution?? Girl, I needed at least two more episodes for that emotional payoff!

I’m giving it an 8/10 because the cast and the chemistry CARRIED. But man… this was a waste of such an insanely beautiful cast. Give them a better script next time 😭
