We Best Love (2021)
7/10
Season 1 is so great, it'll drive you crazy. Don't ruin it by watching season 2. Keep the best version in your mind

The first season was very good until the last episode. The chemistry and acting between the actors was good. The story was satisfying. But the last episode and a ridiculous ending. It was as if the story was started from the beginning because there was no new idea for season 2.

Season 1 was really good, you feel Shi De's obsessive love and Zhou Shu Yi's cool and charmingness to your bones. So much so that anyone would fall in love with Zhou Shu Yi. He's confident, selfish, friendly, cool and perfectly toxic. Him obsession with Shi De and his psychopathic desire to be near him the struggle made me watch the whole season in one fell swoop. Then the damn infamous last episode drives you crazy. Afterwards, no matter how perfect your explanation is (unless you are in a prison in Russia where communication is never allowed) it will never be acceptable.

And of course, the 2nd season was very bad, the characters still look like children after 5 years, and Zhou Shu Yi looks like a teenager in a suit 2 sizes bigger than himself. The story does not flow and meaningless scenes come one after another. An unnecessary character put in to be funny, 2 characters being in the same company at the same time, Shi De'ni's repulsive looks, Zhou Shu Yi is not attractive and cool at all... I'm going crazy but I'm angry.

I stopped watching season 2 after the abnormally illogical and stupid scene where Shi De suddenly appeared at Zhou Shu Yi's door just as he was entering his house.

Beautiful lovemaking or kissing scenes alone can never carry a bl drama. Always, always, always the main story (even if cliché) must make sense, the main plot must be able to carry the whole drama.

I didn't watch the sequel but i could swear that the beautiful scenes of season 1 were meaningless repetitions and none of them were passionate (oh isn't it always like that. See: Bad Buddy episode 7 and onwards)
