A gem that seems under-publicized
I really love the main couple in this BL. Although there are small parts of the plot that seem a little under-developed and even clichéd, the main story of the main characters meeting each other and the development of their relationship is done very well.
Jiang Shao Peng, one of the main characters, is a person with a disability, and I'm glad that the disability is portrayed with positivity without denying the problems faced by people with disabilities. The title, See Your Love, alludes to the fact that Jiang suffers from hearing impairment (and is unable to speak)--he literally has to rely on his sight, either through sign language or through actions, to understand that Yang Zi Xiang loves him.
On the surface, Yang is a lazy nepo baby. Thankfully, though, he is not portrayed as an insufferable scion. It is somewhat clichéd that he is being forced to take over the family business and enter a political marriage. Nonetheless, he comes across as a relatable character who is neither idealized nor hyperbolically obnoxious.
See Your Love is ultimately a feel-good BL that succeeds in what it intends to do. The side BL couple are adorable in their own way, but they don't overshadow the main couple. What some may dislike, however, is Yang's fiancée appearing and trying to break him and Jiang up. She doesn't end up being too evil, but the trope may irritate some people.
This is probably one of the best Taiwanese BLs in 2024. Although a lot of BLs feature more unconventional plots nowadays, few come close to See Your Love in making me feel the love between the characters and start rooting for them.
