If you don't mind the angst, by all means watch it. If you're not good with angst, like me, who deeply regret…
Sometimes the English translation of the Chinese title can be quite awkward. Yeah, I feel so frustrated. It's the first time I just wanted to pay for the advance episodes and be done with it. My fragile heart can't take it anymore.
People who have already watched today's episodes tell me,should I wait for tomorrow to watch all the 4 together…
If you don't mind the angst, by all means watch it. If you're not good with angst, like me, who deeply regret my own action, maybe will be better to wait until the end of the drama. I am going crazy waiting for the next episode and they don't sell us the advance episodes
So a lot of people questioned if he really was a professional, and can differentiate between work and private…
I can understand his side though. He knew he's good at his job so he thought he could just bid her bye bye without thinking twice about it. But who knows, that he will fall in love with her so deeply. It's really karma, and in a way, for him to be more human and think with his heart rather than just thinking with his brain.
I don't think anybody is judging Bai Lu here cuz she has proven herself "over and over again" and there is no…
I'm one of those people who don't really like Wang Hedi's acting. He's improving, yes, but at the same time he's also still far behind his other peers of the same age or generation.
Comparing him with Luo Yunxi and Ren Jialun, who is super gifted in acting, might be a little bit too harsh though.
The actor in the same category of Wang Hedi should be Xu Kai, who I found have unstable performances. There are other young actors in the same category, but I forgot their name. Wei Zheming is also part of this category, though he's not young. But he has unstable performance as well. Hu Yitian was also part of this, though he did improve now. And also Lin Yi.
I think there are many types of people in this world watching dramas. Those who like it will like it, and those…
Being reasonable is still a good thing. Loving something doesn't mean can't accept the flaw. True, they might behave rather childish, but to give them the thumbs down just because they're also expressing their thoughts, whether it's the love for the drama or for the actors, which is still part of the drama, should be allowed. If they said something harsh or discriminating, then report them.

I don't mean you can't criticize the drama. It's allowed. But bringing the name of other drama in this thread, like "Bai Lu did better in this drama and such drama", what's the point? This is not the thread of that drama. It's for "Only for Love" and the discussion should stop in there. I believe it's the respect that we could give to the people who created the drama, no matter how bad it is.
Those who find the story refreshing and entertaining also have a right to say our piece. From the comments, it…
Nope, it's Who is the Murderer. The premier episode only 1-2, and Zhao Liying only appear in episode 3, so the next day. But the douban "super critics" commented during the premier episode that her acting is wooden. I thought I watched a different drama, seriously. I have to rewatch episode 1-2 again to check whether my eyes betrayed me or they can see the future.
I've given up on ratings nowadays. I will enjoy whatever drama I watch. I don't want to care whether it has good ratings or not. I enjoy silly drama that I can watch without making me feel stressed. And this drama is one of them. That's why I wait for the updates daily, though someone told me just now that the airing schedule changed. I'm heartbroken.
It's the new airing schedule, no ep until this weekend. 2 eps Saturday and 2 eps Sunday. If i remember correctly…
Oh gosh why they do this. I wish they just stay with the same schedule. Oh well, I guess I have to wait again until the weekend. Thank you for letting me know!
People going after those critiquing the drama, be careful. While attacking actors or comparing them is an overall…
I think there are many types of people in this world watching dramas. Those who like it will like it, and those who don't will never like it.
I have no strong opinion about the drama, but it's a drama that can make me relax after hard day of work. I can just laugh and go brain dead. Does this mean the drama is bad? Of course, it's not. At least I'm still checking the sites everyday to see whether it has been updated. Is it very good? No. But is it entertaining? Yes, to me.
Everyone has different taste and different opinion. And I don't see why there's a need to bring other dramas into this thread though. The actress might be the same, but the story and the world building is different.

Reminded me of the drama with Zhao Liying. She appeared at episode 3, and somehow the "critics" can see the future and criticize the drama, saying that the female lead's acting so wooden, when the episode only out 1-2 during that time. Surprise, surprise. I even believe they can see the future at that time.
If this drama is only about the main characters, and by a stretch, the girl and the best friend who worked in the same company as the male lead, then this drama is a solid 7/10 for me. It has an interesting start. It's really refreshing, very fun, and I was happy to watch them episode by episode. But when it started to introduce more couples than necessary, and how they try to make the ex-husband looks less scum, then this drama becomes 5/10 for me.
The plot had so much potential but they wasted it on many other things that are unnecessary. The way they be creative in the beginning to make the design for the ads, that was really interesting. I love that so much.
The acting of the lead characters really really good. I feel them. I wish they had better projects.
I almost didn't continue this drama after the disastrous ep 9-11, but I made it to the end. What I get was a disappointing ending.
For a drama that said to be a different kind of genre in BL, they deliver that in the first part of the story. It's so messy it's good. I usually don't like cheating included in the story, but I can see why these characters do them. The first 6 eps are the highest moment of the entire drama. It became my Saturday's special. I sleep late just to watch the drama. Sadly, the ending is too disappointing.
I have hopes they will give a good closure to at least 1 couple, not all of them. I can't understand why there's a need to give ALL of them happy endings.
I enjoy hating Boston and if it's not for the actor's brilliant acting, I would not buy the part where he asked forgiveness to his friends. What he did was awful and if I'm his friends, I would not give him a second chance. But again, the actor convinced me that he can change, which is amazing. I actually think he could be a better person in the end.
My fave couple is Sand-Ray. I know people said they're not the most ideal couple, but none of the couple in the drama actually decent. There are couples built from lies. At least, they know what their setup is in the beginning: Sex Friends. Though it evolved into something more than that. That's why my disappointment towards them bigger than the other couples. They started in the highest possible rank, their chemistry and tension in their early relationship gravitated me towards them. Though in the end I'm not sure whether I still like them or not. I think they're cute, but their ending was so lukewarm.
I would give this 6.8/10 at most. The first 6 episodes are really good though. I would rate it higher if they keep up the same quality in the ending. Too bad, my interest fizzed out starting ep 9.
I agree with the last part. many people loved the acting this week and that is completely fine, as it was somewhat…
Ray and Boston definitely excel in this week though. Their acting is very good. The subtle shift on their expression and also the way they interact is really crazy good.
I knew it! This episode will be chaos! And I love this kind of chaos.
Ray is so crazy OMG. I feel that crazy energy he transmitted. I can feel him when he said to Sand, "What are we?" In many ways, Ray has started to care about Sand. When he heard about how Top and Boston screw each other (eww) the first thing he thought is not about his own benefit, but his friend's benefit. He can just say it out loud in that party and he wouldn't be seen as a lunatic, but I can feel that he's beginning to no longer be obsessed (I still refuse to use the word love. If Book can be a better actor, then I'll use it. For now, it's obsession to me) with Mew.
Sand though. I don't understand his smile after he played the recording for Ray. What's with that. He wanted something to happen? Is that an evil smile? Or is it just my imagination?
This episode ends with a bang. Though sadly, the supposedly main characters, Top/Mew, failed to deliver their part. Force is somewhat more natural, but Book was terrible in many ways. He really didn't excel in expressing himself through his face, so it feels like all we see is just one stoic emotion that didn't change. Whether it's when he's happy, angry (at the pub), or when he's shocked. At the pub, the only emotion I feel running high is Ray, because he go full crazy mode, then Boston, when he's so afraid his cover going to be blown. When Ray showed Mew the recording, he had that same stoic expression. Sad, but I guess I have to swallow this part and just let it go.
HOLY SHIT. That's the only word that I could use to express my emotion throughout the entire episode. From the fluffy happy go lucky episode that turned into dramatic moment in a single heartbeat.
In my own humble opinion, Ray is definitely thinking that Sand is someone who is important enough for him, but it's not love at this point. It's more like, Sand is someone he's comfortable with other than Mew. If not, he wouldn't be that angry and agitated when Boston trying to "break" them up with his malicious words. It showed that Sand means something for him. Sand and Ray really a well-written character. They didn't throw fit and create bigger misunderstanding, and they choose to deal with it in the "adult" way in my opinion. Sand choose to silently crying by himself, while breaking my heart, is really mature of him. Ray being more emotionally connected wanted to immediately make Sand feel reassured, which is something that Ray would do. I think the writer and the director, including both actors, nailed their part so beautifully in this part!
While I like Boston as character, but I hate him as a friend. He's such a shitty friend. I feel that he's not happy to see his friend being happy and committed to the relationship. He clearly can see just how happy Sand is with Ray, and it's during this time he decided to strike and say things that are partially true. Partially, because it's true that Ray is obsessed with Mew (I refuse to use the word love), but it's not true that they're screwing each other. Mew is definitely virgin (if we go by the awkwardness of the love scene between him and Top), and when Ray kissed Mew in the last episode, he was rejected immediately. I hope Nick can get out of this toxic relationship, and quick.
Top and Mew, I don't even know. I think I dozed off a lot during their scene. They look happy and I am also happy to see that, since I know that they're going to be in turmoil later on. But it's just so hard to connect with their characters when the actors themselves put like zero effort to emote. It feels like they lost the steam after the supposedly "flirting" phase, and when they enter the sexual activity phase, it feels so lackluster.
I agree but I don't think he doesn't care. He just doesn't know how to emote. In ABAAB, he overacted and some…
This is what I feel as well. I mean, I can't even understand why Ray would feel hopeless because the person he kissed and apparently loved didn't even look like he had a soul in him. I would prefer he got the NG and then work hard on his expression. Sadly, for a BL drama, I think this might be the highest quality. There are worst actors, so I think it's just the standard there.
Yeah, I feel so frustrated. It's the first time I just wanted to pay for the advance episodes and be done with it. My fragile heart can't take it anymore.
