Beautiful secret love story.
EP by EP, my heart skips a beat. The story is not original but this series have their own charms. It's simple, cute and realistic.The actors are attractive, their chemistry is good and there are lot of cute scenes to be remembered. Confession during sleep scene is cliché but they portrayed it well. And the confession kiss/cry scene is just woow! Their Ost also just really clicked n suited with the romantic/drama ambience.
The only fault that I can point out is the series is too short. Time per Ep and number of Ep does not satisfy me. Thank god there will be 2nd season soon.

Un petit drama sympathique
Tout d'abord il faut savoir que j'avais cette série dans mon collimateur depuis son annonce. Ayant vu toutes les productions BL de la scénariste "Lin Pei Yu", j'ai fortement été attirée par celle-ci. L'annonce du casting m'a quelque peu surprise, voir Sam Lin dans ce genre était réellement inattendu ! [Surtout que le BL est souvent joué par de nouveaux acteurs qui tentent de débuter (comme les acteurs de sentais pour les japonais...)]J'avoue avoir lu beaucoup de commentaires sur cette série avant de me lancer. Ceux-ci sont plus qu'élogieux et m'ont probablement fait avoir plus d'attentes que ce que je pensais...
En somme, je suis assez mitigée sur ce que j'ai pensé de ce drama... J'ai apprécié l'histoire bien que vue et revue (dans le genre comme dans la rom-com classique) mais la fin m'a laissé un goût assez amer... Ne parlons même pas du trailer pour la saison 2 qui promet des prises de têtes... (Moi qui ai horreur des situations compliquées une fois le couple établi, je vais encore en baver --') Malgré ça, on passe un bon moment à regarder ce petit couple se créer.
J'ai apprécié découvrir l'acteur Yu dans le rôle de Zhou Shu Yi. (Ba oui, je connaissais déjà Sam Lin, donc d'office je me suis plus intéressée à son binôme x'D !) Ce dernier dégage beaucoup de charmes et montre un grand panel d'émotions qui nous donne envie d'en savoir plus à son propos et de voir son évolution. (C'est d'ailleurs sans doute pour ça que je regarderai la saison 2 malgré mes aprioris...)

Great chemistry, odd pace
I wish so much that this drama was longer because the pace was way too fast and all I kept thinking was that I loved the chemistry and I loved the main leads together and wanted the development of enemies-to-lovers to be more slow. I probably could've done without the side characters getting so much screentime, and even more without the string of misunderstandings at the end (even though I know the drama is setting up a season 2). The chemistry is great, the OST is catchy, the acting is pretty good, and the dialogue is beautiful — sometimes it's just a little confusing how the characters got to where they were because we didn't have time to show the "in-between" moments.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

WBL: No. 1 For You is No. 1 for me.
WBL: No. 1 For You is No. 1 for me. I finished watching this episode just an hour ago. I'm sad that it ended, but I'm excited about the next season. That teaser at the ending makes me want to say, "February can you speed it up? I want March fast, please". Let's put that emotion aside for now, and let me share with you my ratings for this series.STORY: 10/10 Unrequited love? Ok? Main characters butt heads with each other? Ok? Let's spark some jealousy so that he admits that he likes the guy too? Ok? BUT, the storyline is still fun to watch and not too cliche for my taste. There are no run-around, and yet pretty much straight forward for me. The romantic flair is there, the cuteness of other characters and how they are related to each other is perfect. I'm gushing at this point, but I love the storyline so much that I can't point out anything that I don't like. I love the look on Shu Yi's face when Shi De formally introduces Pei Shou Yi as his cousin. Epic!
CAST/ACTORS: 10/10 Sam Lin (Gao Shi De) and Yu (Zhou Shu Yi) are officially my second favorite ship for 2021 (after Heo Hyun Jun and Yoo Jun of Color Rush). Their chemistry is undeniable whether it's in the series or real life. The way they look at each other. The facial expressions or the body language makes you fall for them hard. Then there's Evan Lou (Liu Bing Wei) and Richard Lee (Shi Zhe Yu), who would have even dreamt that they would be together in this series. I had a tad bit hunch in the beginning. However, I didn't want my heart to get broken, so I didn't hope that much. Their ship looks promising too.
MUSIC: 10/10 Fits right to the tee. Will You Be My Love by Kelly Cheng is snappy that I'm getting LSS (Last Song Syndrome) vibes from it. Yu's voice in Aqua Blue? Please accept my heart.
REWATCH VALUE: 10/10 You won't get tired of watching this. The chemistry doesn't fade away that fast. Truth be told before this series ended, I had rewatched this series twice.
OVERALL: 10/10 I highly recommend this to all soft-hearted people who love romance and who believe that unrequited love can eventually be reciprocated. That there is a "happy ever after".

A simple story beautifully told
Some BL storylines are the same thing over and over again. This sometimes is extremely annoying to us viewers and sometimes it's not. It is the latter case in We Best Love: No. 1 For You.Story-10/10
We, the viewers, have seen so much time where one of the ML has fallen in love with the next ML for years and is not until many years later that they are able to finally get to be close to he individual where thier love blooms. That's what happened here. And what amazes me is that the actors are able to bring this story that we have seen so much times in such a beautiful way through thier acting. Also, the ending where we saw five years in the future and are now so confused as to why Zhou slapped Gao- well! Now I am wising it's March 05, cause I need to know what is going to happen next!
This story also made me appreciate the supporting characters, especially Gao's mom. It was finally nice to see a supporting mom on a Taiwanese series- heck in any BL series!
Acting/ Cast-10/10
Everyone's acting was on point! I felt happy when they were happy, I cried when they cried, I was in shock at some of thier scenes. I believe that all of them truly raised thw bar actng wise in Taiwan as it has been such a long time since I was so emotionally invested and actually feel in love with thier acting. I actually can't point at any flaws- that's how good thier acting was to me from the main actors to the supporting actors.
Music-10/10
The opening and closing OST are so damn addictive and beautiful. Loved both songs so much!
Rewatch Valu- 10/10
I know that I will rewatch this series again, cause that's just how good this series was. Heck, I think I will rewatch before he sequel just so everything will be fresh in my memory.
Overall-10/10
Yeah. I know that I would have liked this series just after watching the first episode. What I didn't expect was to fall in love with it thw way that I did. I would recommend this series with my whole heart to anyone.

speechless for that ending
This drama just be replenished me it made me feel good again. For the last couple weeks just watching Chinese drama and Oh my God I don't know how to explain this but the series was so beautiful it was amazing astonishing and I cannot wait to see the doctor's story. The main leads have so much chemistry like the slap at the end surprised me I was like OK you tell me they haven't seen each other for five years when he said he was going to be back in a couple of months what the hell Oh my God there so ..... I'm literally crying right now this show made me feel so much and I haven't felt this way since like in a couple of months since I was last to watch my last Taiwanese drama so I'm so happy because like Oh my God Can't wait for season 2.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
Perfect amount of everything
*outline*I was trying to rate the drama harshly but I just couldn't because I liked it so much. I've already watched the drama twice in the past month or so. It's not a cliche, the pacing was perfect (except for EP6.5), and I really got a little attached the characters. It felt like my first time watching a BL even though it isn't and I still can't explain why properly.
*thorough*
STORY : It was something new. I'd never actually watched a drama with the protagonists the way they were and their past like how it was. Usually in every drama, the protagonists have a past - sure - but in this short drama, their past is the reason they actually kept seeing each other and I live for it. Sometimes after I watched the whole drama, the love did feel a little unclear. However, when I'd replay all that happened, I'd always think otherwise. Though I will admit, the story line of the drama does turn for a cliche ending. The pacing was amazing, the feelings and relationship wasn't rushed and that is one of the things that caused me to rewatch this drama.
ACTING/CAST : The level of empathy I felt was through the roof. As I said, it felt like my first time watching a BL and it always does for this particular drama. The characters and roles are unique. All the characters made me cry and laugh along with them. My favorite relationship in this drama was between Gao Shi De and Pei Shou Yi, though. I live for their brotherhood.
MUSIC : The first time I watched the drama I didn't pay much attention to the music but it got me vibing to it anyways and it was the same the second time I watched it. Yes, I ended up adding it to my playlist and I'm listening to it as I'm writing up this review too, actually. (YU - Aqua Blue and Alex Chou - Hard to Let Go)
REWATCH VALUE : I don't think I need to explain why I rated the rewatch value 10. Well, I've already watched it twice, and the drama is short and sweet so it's perfect for a quick watch. I'd rather watch this than any movie out there because it just gives me movie vibes anyways.
*p.s.*
Yes, I would definitely recommend to anyone, whether old or new BL enthusiast. I usually stick to Thai BL's and am not willing to explore but when I heard about this and how great it was meant to be I watched it as soon as the drama had finished airing (I hate waiting for the next episode to drop). And I have no regrets.
*recommendations*
'Until We Meet Again' is a Thai BL but it gives the same vibes... except the characters met much earlier than you think... they don't only have a past, they have a whole generation they went through (can that be classed as a spoiler? oops-)

a lovely series that showcases how good Taiwanese BL can be
Zhou Shu Yi has been fighting to be number one since middle school. He's highly intelligent and an excellent swimmer, but he always comes up short behind Gao Shi De. When he goes to one university, and Gao Shi to another, it's a relief. Finally he can be number one. Until , that is, Gao Shi transfers to the same university, and their rivalry starts all over again. But is Gao Shi really out to beat Zhou Shu just to be annoying? Or does he have another reason?Spoiler alert - yes, he does. He's been in love with Zhou Shu for most of his life, and beating him is the only he can keep Zhou Shu's attention. When Zhou Shu's two best friends declare their love for each other, leaving Zhou Shu upset and a little lost, Gao Shi steps in and things progress from there.
The pacing for this story is consistent and fluid. Nothing drags, nothing feels like filler and no scenes are wasted. indeed, sometimes there are scenes that are too short and some things could do with extra attention, but everything still works well. There are no nonsensical sound effects and no blatantly obvious and out-of-place product placements.
The acting is excellent, especially by the two leads, and their chemistry is sizzling. When they finally kiss, it's with real passion. You can practically see the steam rising off of them. This probably shouldn't have surprised me as much as it did, as I have noticed that so many Taiwanese actors who do BL don't have a problem with the more intimate scenes. I've yet to watch one where I got the impression any of the actors were uncomfortable. If they were, they didn't show it at all.
This is exactly the kind of BL I like to watch. The plot is simple, the acting is great, the pace is perfect and the soundtrack is wonderful. It's a sweet and fluffy series with some angst sprinkled over for drama's sake and a happy ending.
It is absolutely re-watchable, and I highly recommend it.

A nice, story, worth a watch. Cant wait for S2!
Though i did feel like the last episode seemed a tad bit hurried, it was still better than a few other BL series I've watched, and ITS SO WELL PRODUCED, ACTED AND SCRIPTED. One of the best works of the writer, the dialogues are plain, at the same time meaningful. It has easily captured the way college students might love, simple yet deep. Huge shoutout to the cast, they have done an AMAZING job at portraying the characters, and i felt like their style of acting fit the personality of every character we meet. It's worth the time, and will definitely leave you wanting for more.In all, i would HIGHLY recommend it, especially if you liked the HIStory series, since the writer is the same on who wrote for a lot of HIStory's works.

Honestly the story was quite simple with conflicts that are also not too heavy, but with good quality acting, this series cannot be denied to be completed in one day (or max 2 days) ?
The accompaniment of beautiful songs in the ears adds to the feeling of interest in this series becoming even more brutal.
Now I'm just waiting for how their story continues. Please upload the english sub as soon as possible ???
Translate to Indonesian:
Bulan baru masuk maret tetapi sudah disuguhi kisah sebagus ini, teruntuk series tahun 2021 yang sudah tamat maupun yang sedang berjalan harap menepi terlebih dahulu karena series ini saat ini sudah memimpin sementara dijajaran series 2021 favorit saya lol
Pengisahan yang sebenarnya hanya sementara dengan konflik yang juga tidak terlalu berat, namun dengan kualitas akting yang bagus membuat series ini tidak bisa ditolak untun ditamatkan dalam satu hari saja.
Iringan lagu yang indah ditelinga menambah rasa ketertarikan akan series ini menjadi semakin brutal.
Sekarang saya hanya menunggu bagaimana kelanjutan kisah mereka. Please percepat upload english subnya?

One of the best short bl series
I have seen a lot of BL series now some of it has a long episodes but the story are just the same. The pacing of the story of most of the BL Series is that you have the long episodes of slow story and then rushed part the climax and then a happy ending but this series is different the story is not too slow and not too rushed the timing is everything. It was short knowing it only has 6 episodes but the story was explained and well portrayed, the story wasn't rushed. The main actors acting is outstanding and their chemistry. It was short but it is beautiful and I love the ending. Can't wait for the sequel.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
À la redécouverte d'un BL taïwanais...
WBL est une véritable surprise. En toute honnêteté, j'avais un peu de mal en raison d'un manque de réalisme et de naturel. Cependant, WBL change la donne. En réalité, les personnages (principaux et secondaires) ne font que renforcer l'intérêt de ce boyslove.Les relations amour/haine sont croustillantes, on en tarde pas à vouloir en savoir plus. Pourquoi se détestent-ils ? Jusqu'où peuvent-ils se haïr ? Quand vont-ils se voir autrement ? C'est un fil rouge qui fonctionne et qui ne demande qu'à tiré son épingle du jeu dans son traitement. La maturité de l'histoire apporte un intérêt nouveau au genre (surtout si on compare avec les dramas thaïlandais qui sont souvent immatures en raison de personnages à peine adolescents).
Yu et Sam Lin excellent dans leurs rôles. J'ai particulièrement apprécié cette rancœur nourrit sur le temps qui, progressivement, change sans que Zhou Shu Yi n'en ait vraiment conscience. Rien n'est vraiment prémédité, l'histoire suit joliment son cours au point de ne pas en décrocher avant la fin.
En bref, WBL est une belle façon de renouer avec les dramas taïwanais, ou tout simplement pour en découvrir un.
