We Best Love: No. 1 For You (2021)

WBL owns my a$$

listen!
imma sue every single person who's gonna tell me that this is not one of the BEST bl drama that ever existed!
first of all - THE BOND between SamYU. oh. my. lord. their chemistry is insane, you just look at them and you're in love.
plot wasn't exactly 100% good, there were some cheesy, some rushed moments, but their love and connection was so wonderful, i kinda didn't care much about it.
i already rewatched it twice and im planning to watch it at least once in a month. this is how much i loved it.
but i have to say one thing tho, that i don't like and i'll never be okay with this. episodes are too damn short and seasons have just 6 episodes. yall expect me to be okay with this? NO.

Lighthearted and funny

Not much else to say. I'd already watched this one, but idk why I didn't post a review back then - so here it is.

I love the acting in this. It looks so natural. The chemistry is great (always important) and I was smiling ear to ear whenever the main characters interacted (even the two friends, they were so cutee). They all look like they're having a blast when they're together.
It's also quite funny - I found myself actually laughing at some scenes (which doesn't really happen), which earned this series brownie points. Gao Shi De's mom was hilarious, I love herr, how she was teasing Zhou Shu Yi for being overly formal with her.

The story is basic, though. If you really think about it, there's not much going on outside their romance. The doctor-cousin was a weird character in general, he made me uncomfortable with how touchy-feely he was with his PATIENTS (who, mind you, are significantly younger than him). He was also quite aggressive for a doctor, like he was very careless when handling injured students.
Also, I think Shu Yi went from 'I cannot fall for a man' to screaming 'I like Gao Shi De' at the top of his lungs in the span of... what? A week? Idk, it felt a little bit too fast for me. We didn't even see him feel conflicted or anything.
And finally, we should address the MC's tendency to try to drown himself - can someone ban him from going anywhere near a swimming pool?? Istg in one single episode he jumped into the pool TWICE, fully clothed, and Gao Shi De had to pull him out.

I know it looks like I didn't enjoy this much lol - but I did. It's mostly vibes, no thoughts, head empty. Just go with the flow when watching this.

Another great bl drama from Taiwan

Wow the cast is just amazing the chemistry and fun they had. Now. WOW what a unbelievable drama about finding true love and then it's gone over many misunderstanding then???? Starting at the age of 10 Gao shi de meets Zhao shy yi while he was crying on the steps over his dad abandoned when a boy gives him a tissue and tells him it will be alright he has his mom when someone calls him he runs yelling his name. They meet again and shy yi doesn't remember him so he works hard to be #1 and shy yi always in. 2nd place. So now attending college shy yi figures he won't see Gao shi de and be 1st again. Until the day shi de makes shy yi his page boy(thru a video blackmail) and does everything to make him forgot his angry and become shi de friend, but shi de limes him and whispered in his ear thinking he was asleep. After that shi de started to hide from shy yi due to his heart is in alot of pain, but shy yi is mad since he can't find him over a week until he finally finds him.. these 6 episode tells the story of how commitment and persistent can payoff in the name of love.
Ep6. 5.gave some background info leading up to the 5 year misunderstanding.

love from a distance

So the average for this one was 8.75 stars out of 10 stars, and I rounded it down to 8.5 stars out of 10. This was fun, cute, and short, but still filled with action and plot. It's getting late, so I won't knock out season 2 right now. Yeah.

I am going by the ratings of the episodes because I posted nothing on this on my instagram close friends. I think two things happened, and they were both songs over scenes. Gallowdance by Lebanon Hanover, when Shu yi, zhou shu yi in the street, was trying to drown himself. Those were the vibes, and I still don't know why. And then TV by Billie Eilish, Shu Yi was pretending to be happy for his friends when they figured out they liked each other, and he was undermining his own feelings to see them happy. That was the vibe of the first episode. Shu Yi was an annoying fucker, but I could get behind his actions.

Shu yi and Gao Shi De (using the full government name for him, lol) started being lovey-dovey unientially with their actions and just the way they were so close to each other all of a sudden. I don't think we knew that Gao Shi De liked Shu Yi. Or we probably did, and my dumb ass didn't read the description, but the way he was just acting, I knew it was love at first sight from when they were younger.

"It's an enemies to lovers kind of thing, but I've been in love with you since you helped me in fifth grade." That's my quote. The vibes were slow, but we really got to know our characters more, and that's always fun. I love these two so much.

Shu yi started to fall for Gao Shi De. He fell flat on his face in love. I love to see characters actually fall for each other and not say, Oh my god, I like you because you like me. It's that, but he was in denial at first, and then he realized how he actually felt, and I think that was cute.

They came around in the end and had their little cute moments, and then bros was like, I've got to go to America, and then bro was like, No way, and then bro went yes way. Exactly how that happened actually I am going to watch season 2 tomorrow if I wake up. This was cute, and I can get behind the hype it has. I would recommend it. Okay bye!

A sweet love story about 2 sweet boys

I really wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did. It was a bit confusing in the beginning, but I guess love is like that too. I don't think the two main leads were ever enemies, they were more so constants in each others lives, just observing each other from a distance, until it was the right time for their lives to intertwine together. I thought that their romance was very subtle and heartwarming. I liked how everyone was pretty open-minded in this drama, and were just concerned with the happiness of their friends, Zhou Shu Yi & Gao Shi De. what I appreciated the most was how these boys could just be themselves, and discover what they're feeling without anyone pressuring them or belittling their feelings. 8/10 I would definitely recommend this to my friends.

Great Qualities

So this is another strong Taiwanese BL series not at but seriously close to the history series in overall quality. The cast is all wonderful including the female cast which are usually embarrassingly annoying in most other BL's.
I wish they would have acknowledged the time as adults when Shu Yi comforted Gao when his dad left. I also think the idea of Shu Yi being Gao's servant was a bit weird but entertaining none the less. Sometimes the story line went off track with the leads but didn't spend enough time on the secondary characters. Especially with Pie and Liu. The last little issue is with the end. Well, It was a little issue that becomes a big issue once the 1st episodes of season 2 is watched. I'm on episode 2 of season 2 and I have major issues so far. I hope that they can somehow draw me back in because as of now I'm emotionally out of season2.... and it has also affected season one for me. So be form warned about season 2.

On point

The story, the casting, the acting, the chemistry - everything was just on point.
This drama is super easy to watch and you WILL want more on the next episode. The chemistry between the actors is what really kept me going, and I loved how natural they were all the time. The little details like the language really made the story better. Just watch it.

WATCH IT

I really just want to post my review without writing too much TT
I am already writing a super long essay for school and I think this 500 words restriction is too much. So just enjoy my short review and my smart nose.

A must watch

*happy ending*

No words can describe how much I am amazed by this show. Yu's acting is the best in this series. I keep screaming whenever I hear him speak Nihonggo only to discover that they casted a Japanese-taiwanese actor. I really felt and seen how he slowly fell in love with Shi de and boy he falls hard! I really like that Shu yi is very upfront of his feelings to Shi de once he fell in love. He is very straightforward and very cute!

Shi de on the other hand is very crafty. Very reminiscent of my younger self. Anything to get that chance! Hahaha.

I hope they could've increased the moments where they ended up together. But overall the story flowed really smoothly, and it leaves a feeling in your heart of how you wanted to finally fall in love.

Love love love this series soo much that I wanted it to be longer.

An Enemy To Lovers Must Watch

Oh, let me rave about "We Best Love"! It's a classic boys' love story in the truest sense. The beauty of this series lies in Shu Yi's journey of discovering love for the first time, while Shi De is gay. This dynamic is what makes it a genuine BL and not just a regular gay drama. The unrequited love trope, with Shi De relentlessly pursuing Shu Yi despite his one-sided feelings, adds a captivating layer to the story.

The way Shi De's feelings evolve throughout the series is heartwarming and heart-wrenching at the same time. He is willing to do anything just to be a part of Shu Yi's life, even if it means being just an enemy in Shu Yi's eyes. Their emotional connection is beautifully portrayed, showcasing the complexities of one-sided love.

The story takes an intriguing turn when Shu Yi discovers Shi De's feelings for him, leading to a gut-wrenching confession after being ghosted by Shi De. I couldn't help but empathize with Shu Yi and his emotional journey, which had me shedding tears like cutting onions by the barrel.

As the series unfolds, we are treated to a beautifully crafted side couple story between Shuo Yi and Zhen Xuan, which turned me into an ardent side couple fan. And let's not forget about the charming bartender, Alex, who left me feeling shortchanged after witnessing his captivating presence in "My Tooth Your Love."

The ending left me feeling all sorts of angry as it left the door open for season 2. "We Best Love" is a true gem among BL series, with its compelling storyline, heartfelt emotions, and unforgettable characters. If you haven't watched it yet, you're in for an emotional rollercoaster that will leave you wanting more. This series is an absolute must-watch for all BL fans!

One of the best out there

If you're thinking whether to watch it: watch it. I think its really one of the better BL dramas to be released. The quality and production beats almost all BLs.

Gonna rate this high bc this is an incredible quality of bl drama. I loved the acting and most of the story and they achieved a lot within the few episodes. But I didn't like the lowkey stalkerishness fo Gao Shide (the whole haunted house scene) but still okay I think, sort of toes the line b/w normal and creepy. Also disliked the side couple: seemed forced and unnecessary (common problem among BLs)

A Romance Full of Love and Heart

This series pretty much sealed the deal for me that anything with Lin Pei Yu's name on it means God-tier work of art. No. 1 for You (2021) is a more light-hearted series compared to its sequel, Fighting Mr. 2nd (2021), as it rightly captures the audiences' attention by sucking you in with its bright colours and youthful tenacity of our male leads. A well thought out story that was built to provide a sequel so you may anticipate what comes next for our beautiful boys. Enjoy in the moment of youth would be a message this series tries to portray along with its endearing romance. Also, Yu's mandarin definitely adds in the kawaii factor. Boy can't even swim and yet he's acting as a swimmer! Now that's professionalism.
