I love a good enemy-to-lovers story, and The Only One completely stole my heart! Watching the playful rivalry between the two leads evolve, from rivals to friends and then to lovers, was such a treat. The show also tackled interesting aspects of adolescence, like family relationships and academic pressure, in a thoughtful way. Jian Tian is definitely the king of few words, but the way he subtly lets his emotions show is brilliant. Meanwhile, Sheng Wang, though also naturally reserved, has this effortless charm that just pulls you in. The two main actors are absolutely gorgeous, and their chemistry, intensity, and non-verbal communication are off the charts! They brought these complex and layered characters to life so beautifully.
The supporting cast is flawless, but special shoutout to Andy Chen as Gao Tian. He stole every scene he was in. The show’s direction is delicate and thoughtful, with stunning cinematography and an amazing OST. That open ending definitely left me craving more, so I really hope Patrick Liu keeps his promise and delivers a second season. Waiting very impatiently for that!
