My Rival My Love
Hidden gem of 2025. I didn’t have any idea about this drama at first. Got c-drama slump since the first frost.
One day, I casually opened X and saw a short video about Jing Chen, and it made me curious.
I decided to watch it — and it’s soooo good.
The story about Chinese law, the friendships, and the love interest between Jiatong and Jiang Chen is really enjoyable. I know romance isn’t the main focus, but it’s enough for me to see how their relationship develops from strangers, to friends, to rivals, and finally to lovers (I assume they’re a couple because of the last kiss in the final episode haha).
I know the ending is vague since we don’t really know who was chosen, and suddenly batch 2 of the program gets announced. But I assume they both got accepted into the law firm, work as a team, and date outside office hours.
I think one season is enough. If there’s a season 2, I don’t think it would be as interesting to watch again. I’m not sure how they could continue the story with the same actors (the leads must come back!), unless they return as supervisors for the program.
