Their exs cheated but those 3 women were trash also. 1st one didn't have the balls to end it ,2nd one was also…
I fail to see anything trash about Han Su, though? Yeah, I agree, she didn't have "the balls to end it", but it's not always easy to end a relationship you were committed to for years. People are not things that can be just thrown away once they stop being entertaining. Her bf and her had a history together, even if they drifted apart...
Besides, the characters' love lives were not everything about their personas. I will continue with Han Su, because I really liked her character. She was hard-working, resilient, strong, motivated, assertive (I mean, yeah, not with ending her relationship... but outside of that) and once she became friends with Zhinan, she was also a positive force in her life (encouraging her to work hard on developing her writing talent).
Oh, and btw. the alternative title for this drama is sth like "There are no good men and women here" - so yeah, the title alone is not claiming the female characters are going to be great and flawless ;)
a question please : he zhinan with all what you mentioned about her but she get with the best man in the show…
Yeah... about that... she actually *is* the one who cheats on her boyfriend... I guess she gets the good stuff by virtue of being an official main protagonist 😋
She does have some redeeming qualities, though... As I mentioned, she's a pretty supportive friend. She also helps that guy before they get together and is really cheering on him chasing his dream. Also, while I think he is the best guy according to my own judgement, he is a bit rough around the edges, not the smoothest talker. So, while I think he is great, you might end up thinking differently ;)
So I'm watching this Taiwanese drama on Netflix called Light the Night. It's set in 1988 and the entire first episode they keep playing different renditions of The Moon Represents My Heart and each time they play it, I am immediately taken back to that scene with SW and JT when they talked about the moon... This drama is haunting me... 😋 Even when I don't wanna think about it, I end up thinking about it 🙃
The L in LGBTQ+ stands for lesbian meaning women so this comment is kinda funny to me.
Dang... that really wasn't my intention... I saw parts of your comment with which I disagreed (if I misunderstood them, then hell, who knows? Maybe we don't disagree) and I decided to participate in what seemed like a civil and friendly discussion.
Anyway, I didn't intend to dissuade anyone from sharing their opinion or add their voice, as I think that's what's fun on MDL.
I'm halfway through it and I've enjoyed it tremendously so far. If I were to complain about anything, I don't necessarily like when it goes into slow motion during certain scenes (supposedly for a bigger impact, I assume?). I find it unnecessary. However, everything else is chef's kiss. The story, the dialogues, the acting - I am more than satisfied at this point. I already both laughed and cried multiple times. I hope the drama keeps this momentum in its second half.

Just because someone is ok with a BL without sex scenes doesn't mean they dislike them... I see this misconception pop up all the time.
I, for one, think two best BL dramas of this year were Love in the Big City and The On1y One - the first has some sex scenes (while, granted, not very graphic) and The On1y One didn't even have a proper kiss between characters. I enjoyed both.
I only dislike those dramas when the creators are clearly using NC scenes to lure the audiences and have no story to back it up (there's a lot of such stuff going on recently in the BL genre). That's when the "sex scenes" become a "problem" for me. If I wanted to watch soft porn, I'd go and watch it. When I watch a drama, I expect at least an attempt at a decent storytelling.
I wrote a couple of lengthy comments about Balloon's Landing earlier, so I don't wanna repeat myself like a broken record or appear as someone who loves to just blabla on a loop, so I will try to say it shortly: there should be a space for stories that focus on developing, unfulfilled romance as well (straight, queer, whichever). One of the characters in Balloon's Landing is suicidal and I'd find it super weird if he was in the mood for romancing immediately. Could they give us an actual date and a kiss at the fireworks? Maybe, but then the whole thing would feel less... tragic? For the lack of a better word.
Both lesbian women and bisexual women can be cis women per terminology. Plenty of straight women love those more explicit BLs, as well, btw.
UPDATES:- They did not release any behind the scenes these few weeks because they wanted to save it for the fan…
" it was disappointing that they found out the venue does not have a screen/projector lately." - 😐 I don't want to go into a rant, and it's lovely that they released the new footage on social media and thank you so much for letting us know! It's just... what kind of a venue that holds public events doesn't even have a projector or a screen? What's the deal with organizing this FM, it's one blunder after another...
Thanks for sharing this with us.In addition to his charisma that always enchants me, and his great acting talent,…
I guess more people fell for Jiang Tian's character, because of the change he underwent throughout the series. I feel that generally characters that go from villain through a redemption arch, from a tsundere to someone who openly cares, from someone who was quiet and reserved to someone smiling, enjoying school activities and openly showing his feelings etc. are usually more loved by the wider audience.
And I understand that, I myself am not an exception. One of my forever favourite fictional characters (Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, if anyone is familiar with the show) was an example of this sort of character development.
Hence, I believe, JT has more "fans" (and, thus, Benjamin as an extension of his character, might have a bit more fans as well). That is not to undermine his performance or acting skill, he was amazing as Jiang Tian - I just wanna be clear :)
/P.S. Having said all of the above, Sheng Wang would be my favourite character in The On1y One, if I really had to pick one./
We talked about it before already, but I feel like Sheng Wang is often misunderstood or taken for less deep than he really is. Just seen as this pouty cutie, which couldn't be further from the truth (I mean, he is that, but so much more). However, because his character doesn't provide this type of huge obvious contrast, that deeper element is more nuanced and sometimes goes unnoticed (or at least that's what I'm thinking).
As for LDQ having more works, but less IG followers. That's true. But it is also true that those of his works that gathered more international attention before Mou Mou, weren't the ones that featured him as a main cast. Only for Love or Wonder of Love have Dylan Wang, Bai Lu, Xiu Kai who are all super famous names when it comes to cdramas industry as leads. I kinda suspect that their fans are mostly watching for them and focusing on them.
For a lot of people, The On1y One was an introduction to an actor Liu Dong Qin. In that regard, him and Benjamin are pretty much on similar ground, even if Dong Qin has way more experience in acting.
To end this lengthy comment, I'd just say that personally I think LDQ is criminally underrated and by now, at this point, should be casted way more often in main roles.
Please, whenever you can, share more facts about him♥️
This small info is actually from his livestream he did some time ago on Meet48. I came across this bit of the stream translated and thought it was really interesting. Wanted to share it back then, but then forgot 😋
In that same bit he also said that the pool scene was pretty much improvised by him and Benjamin (cute~~).
Just some trivia that maybe not everybody got a chance to read about:
Did you guys know that what Sheng Wang says in the scene when him and Jiang Tian take an evening walk and talk about the moon (right before Sheng Wang sees the teachers kissing) was written by Dong Qin himself?
Yeah... that is a very valid and down to earth point. I kinda assumed optimistically that since they were surveying about it, they might be more or less prepared, the venue might have necessary infrastructure etc.
But to your point, we don't really know if they have any experience... And now I'm thinking that them just even considering this option almost a month before the event doesn't really scream: well-prepared.
Plus, ofc, as you mentioned, the additional costs...
I'm hoping that maybe *if* the organizers did provide online streaming, then more people from different countries would be willing to pay for the tickets (I mean, I assume they'd be cheaper).
I just hope that *if* they decide to go through with it, they'll enable some more globally popular payment options like e.g. paypal.
I'm thinking if we get s2 I'm excited to see them in new outfits. Ofc they look good in the student uniform but…
At this point I so desperately want season 2,the entire crew can be wearing potato sacks and be using cardboard boxes as props as far as I'm concerned 😭
The leads of "See Your Love" is exactly how I imagined Jiang Tian and Sheng Wang after reading the book.
Well, I've only read bits of the book *after* watching the drama, so I had no prior image of how SW and JT should look like.
However, in my eyes Liu Dong Qin and Benjamin Tsang are perfect as Sheng Wand and Jiang Tian. I can't imagine anyone else. Appearance-wise, performance-wise etc. they're perfection as their respective characters.

I was so surprised to see the pinned comment under Love Proverbs MV and find out it was Patrick Liu reaching out to fans even out there.

Personally, I don't do celebrity crushes ;)
But I am quite impressed with him as an artist, for sure.
Did you guys know that what Sheng Wang says in the scene when him and Jiang Tian take an evening walk and talk about the moon (right before Sheng Wang sees the teachers kissing) was written by Dong Qin himself?
Just a cool fact :)
I liked how the participants of this project appreciated the work of Patrick and other cast members, aside from Dong Qin and Benjamin.
