GREATEST LOWKEY LOVE: raw, human, and defies the misery of life.
WOW!
i never rooted so much for such a lowkey deep love story.
What i love about this show is that we see how messed up, imperfect, messy the main characters are, and yet, they find hope and purpose in all the chaos and mistakes. finding acceptance and resilience in what you can't escape.
we also see what misery they were stuck in, the production did a great job showing it, and sometimes 'alluring' to things without being too explicit.
how can you expect a classic 'healthy' relationship? how can you have hope when u feel you can't escape the conditions you are in? In that sense it is a dysfunctional relationship.
Mao did mature when she comes back, but they are both so broken so the way they are with each other is already impressive yet tragic at the same time.
*******seeing a couple evolve out of codependency and trauma bonding is actually very very impressive and refreshing storywise. *******
The production did a great job in the time control : we follow the main leads across decades with the right key moments without being repetitive or cliché ( there are exceptions😅)
the show is also full of nice imagery with close-up scenes, but sometimes the editing style is cringe. the story is definitely not cringe.
Chen is so selfless in trying to protect her, you see how hard it is to escape the tough background they both come from.
This show is truly an ode to lowkey love that is raw, messy, but innocent and grounded.
can't wait to see the last episodes but this show already left a deep mark!
the tile is fitting:'love for you'. they still had love even if the world did not give them anything.
