Best of SongWeiLong &ZhangJingYi!
Here just to applaud Love for You. The script, directing, music and most of all superb acting and perfect compatibility of SWL/ZJY made Love for You my all time fav of their dramas. Honestly Shine on You was so highly rated but I find SWL compatibility with JingMai a bit off. JingMai is better in Amidst Snowstorm. I actually checked the director’s dramas and watched Love For You immediately when I found it’s directed by this director. You know how some strong casts dramas fail to interest you when the directing of first few episodes are so bad? I think this director’s able to capture the sad, vulnerable and fragile emotions as acted so perfectly by both leads, who touched us and convey the plight of these 2 young children left to fend for themselves. It is such a sad and hopeless existence that without their bond, they would not have survived. My heart actually ache when witnessing the internal torment of the 2 characters and so touched by their love for and support of one another. SWL acting of a fragile yet tenacious young male with such relatable conflicting thoughts and emotions draws you into the struggles of a male-child who had to fend for himself yet protect the one he loves. His eyes, facial movements, bodily actions convey the struggles with such depth it’s heartbreaking. Throughout the drama, one can’t help to be in awe of SWL & ZJY’s visuals, they are both the epitome of perfection. Only drawback is SWL’s attire which could be better esp that unflattering long jeans shorts. And oh the songs…… perfect match and esp when one is sung by both leads. How talented they are! Somehow I am not discouraged by the slow pace romance. Rather, it shows that SWL’s character is respectable and the power of respect for one ‘s love in a bond so strong. SWL’s madness for ZJY makes one yearn for the same undying support and love in life, though almost impossible but I believe it does exist. All in all, considering all aspects, tgis is my fav of both male leads’ dramas. Look fwd to more from them.Was this review helpful to you?
The music in this drama, OMG, I kept humming it esp the end songs. Even downloaded the playlist in Spotify. Selection is so good and so sentimental. Transports me back to my youth.
Story is so relatable, cheating is bad? Well yes but in some circumstances as in the main actress, I can see why and she def must divorce the bastard. But I don't agree with Tae Oh's move as his wife deserves time to change. She is a good woman and again, Lee Tae Ran clinched the act superbly.
Overall I love the storyline and was not bored thruout the drama.

Don't know why the previous reviews but this is a Must Watch if you're looking for love genre and likes Sang Woo, Ji Hoon and Sang Mi.

I like dramas that kept me glued from Ep 1. Perhaps my taste's not alike those reviewers' I've checked out (when looking for what next). So far, my all time favourites that could captivate me and not 'test my patience with a few episodes' are Wallace Chung's My Sunshine and now this. Don't ask me why, I just love the sentimentality of the whole production and the music adds to draw.
Here, I like Chen Kun's mischievious and witty character. Like his lines that reveal a smart guy who's seemingly lazing and spoilt.
The female lead has a face of character, unlike the current bimbos leads, which is a pity of dramas of late.
Will continue my review when I finish. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint though I have read the ending is sad. (sob...sob...)
For now, I'll let the melodic period-infused music continue to draw me into this sad love story, which Chen Kun's charismatic acting succeeded in feeding my thirst for a good drama.
Moving onto Ep 6.....
