Ohhhh I don't follow the Tencent index. Glad that it's doing well. It started to be good after the confession. Before that, it feels like the usual tropey modern C-drama.

Yeah, the drama is almost the same as the novel. They even did the scene with Lu Zhixing tapping Tang Dingding's shoulder. That scene was my fave one, along with another one near the end of the novel, which I hoped they put in the drama as well.

Yeah that's what I like about the novel. And the drama live up to that vibe as well. You just move on since you need to work and earn money. No adult women will weep all day.

Well, there might be a little bit angst with Tang Xin's parents.

This is why I feel like the drama failed to explain this plot. There's also a reason why Shi Yan lets Shu Yi go crazy like that. But again, in the drama it's also glossed over. Or they had to cut it in order to put other scenes that don't matter.

Revenge had always been Shu Yi's motive in the novel. She needed that revenge since she's with her boyfriend for quite some time. That's why the revenge felt more justified, though it's kinda stupid. And Shi Yan had his own reason why he indulged Shu Yi, and why he forgave her after all the lies she told. Too bad, the drama didn't explain it.

No problem! Glad I could help!
I think the drama need to explore more from Tang Yu's perspective, because he actually showed that he loves Tang Xin a lot in the novel.

Lol I've loved him since King's Avatar. He's my fave baby there, and he's still my fave baby here. I started this drama when I saw the cast list in weibo, and his name is there.

The novel is quite fluffy I think. The saddest part is during the first rejection, when Tang Yu rejected Tang Xin, saying they're not suitable. After that, it's not really that sad. It's all fluffy.

This drama follows the novel almost 90%. It's really quite similar. And the extra told the story of Tang Dinging and Lu Zhixing's relationship. Lu Zhixing pursued her and gave her the jade pin, the symbol of love from male lead to female lead in the movie he made before.

Yes they did! They're the second couple in the novel

No. Gao Heng didn't have any clear "couple" in the novel. The extra about Tang Dingding showed that she becomes the couple with Lu Zhixing

EP10 is like the start of something new. I'm happy that Tang Yu is honest to Tang Xin now. He explained to her the reason why he pursued Ming Zhu before. Like what he said: "Being suitable not the same as being in love." And I totally agree on that.

The moment that I've been waiting for! The first meeting of Lu Zhixing and Tang Dingding! This is also my fave moment in the novel, and I think they live it up in the drama.

Tang Yu taking the advice from the forever straight man Assistant Gao lmao
He drank so much so he can get taken care of by Tang Xin. That's hilarious.

Most of the female lead traits in any drama, not only in C-drama, actually the same as Shu Yi. I don't know why she gets this much hate though. I watched too much drama in my life, and I'm sure there are worst female lead than her. People can be too critical sometimes, and forgot that almost every drama they watched will have this kind of female lead traits.

Sadly, the drama didn't really give an explanation about why Shu Yi behaves like that. For example, the reason of her revenge towards her ex. It was glossed over.

Yeah the camera angle is definitely the worst part of the entire drama. Like, the colour palette of the drama is okay. The props look okay. But the camera angle make me want to close my eyes and not bother to open it again. There are times I just close my eyes and choose to listen to what they're saying, because the camera angle make me dizzy and uncomfortable.

No, our FL, Tang Xin was never the second choice. Being in his position and his age, his family wanted him to get married soon. And when considering different traits and characters, he and his friend, Huo Chendong, feels that Tang Xin's best friend, Ming Zhu, is the perfect fit. So he pursuing her not because he loves Ming Zhu, but he considers about whether she's a perfect fit to be his future wife.

He did say it to Tang Xin later on. "Being suitable and being in love are two different things." While he only looks at the outer appearance of Ming Zhu, he did love Tang Xin.

But it's complicated since he did ask Tang Xin to be his wingman to win Ming Zhu's favor before. And that's makes it the most complicated, and that's why he also considers her to be "unsuitable." Not because of her background, but she's definitely not the type of wife that a wealthy family with billions of assets will go for.

The best thing is to never read the comments. I'm someone who don't believe in ratings or comments until I watched it myself. For example, people praising Xiao Zhan's drama The Longest Promise, but to me it's not good, and I got so many unnecessary hate when I tried to raise my own opinion on the drama.

Experiencing the drama yourself is the best way to enjoy it. If you enjoy it, you enjoy it.

The camera angle is really bad though. There are parts that make you go dizzy because they just take unnecessary turn or spin, or the problematic camera angle that didn't flatter the actors/actresses at all.

The chemistry is okay to me. There are people who can't see it, there are people who can. I mean, it's the same in almost all drama.

The negative issue because it's from 2 popular traffic actors, and they have their own army of fans. Of course, there will be black fans who wanted to bring them down. Plus, if you go to douban, it's no longer a very credible review site anymore. This drama in weibo actually gain quite a lot of heat, and is quite popular. Not that popular, but it's enough. Besides, it's a contemporary drama. Always get the heat for no reason.

About Wang Hedi's voice, if you speak Chinese, his line delivery is really not good. Like he's too lazy to speak. That's why he's usually being dubbed. But this time, he didn't. He really needs to get a lesson in this area, or he should consider to hire a professional dubber to dub all his drama. Many of the young actors have the same problem, not only him. Those who have better line delivery, like Wu Lei, is quite rare, but he graduated from prestigious film/movie university, so it's not valid to compare to him.

What she said definitely overly harsh. There are many other dramas that are awful. But Only For Love is not the worst of the worst. I still do enjoy and love it at some point.

I agree. Some parts of the drama really annoying. But still I love it enough to finish it until the end.

Yes, I'm starting to like it now. After the failed confession, somehow the story become better to me. The first 2 eps a bit rough, so that's why I said I'm not vibing with this drama yet. But now I do.

I remember someone said that he's easy to contact and to hire. Not too expensive as well. So everyone wanted him in their production. That's why he's everywhere.

Though I wish he step up his game and get out of this "comfort zone" role. I'm sure his management wanted the best for him, but he's been in this role for too many times already.

As someone who read the novel in Chinese for the past 2 days, I have to say that the adaptation really covers the spirit of the novel. What makes me started to really like this story is when Tang Xin confessed, and it failed, then she cried overnight, but after that she went on with her life like usual. That really got me. Like, that's what people do in real life if they ever get broken hearted. They will weep and cry, but the next day you still need to get up and work. And that's precisely what she did. That resonated with me the most.

EP9 is also the same. I love that it's time for him to chase her now. He only realized what she meant to him after he lost her. I mean, everyone can see that he treated her differently. Her being able to get in and out of his office easily, and him being indulgent to her behaviour in a way, should be the green light to him and to everyone who saw their interaction.

I'm happy that he's working hard to win her favour. He had done something wrong to her, and he's there to make amends. She's getting soft, because he's still the person she loved for years, but she's also firm and not giving him the chance to make it up to her so easily. I'm starting to love their dynamics.

I got tired of seeing Wei Zheming in the same role over and over again. I know it works for him, but I'm getting tired of it. But this role seems a little bit different, and I'm glad to see some kind of changes in his role.

AND MY BABY ASSISTANT GAO! YOU ARE THE BEST! YOU ARE THE CUTEST!

It's like he likes her all along, but don't really notice it. To him, unsuitable is because he had somewhat pursued her best friend before. Like the secretary said, the most complex relationship is between the friend and the best friend's husband/boyfriend or exes.

I'm watching this for my beautiful baby, Fan Jinwei. I love him since King's Avatar.

The story though, I'm still on the fence about it. It's decent enough for me to spend my time watching it but I'm not sure whether it will be good enough.
