This show, apart from being full of gender stereotypes, also has a sexist and abuse-normalizing storyline. Ling Yi Zhou is controlling, oppressive, obsessive, selfish, psychotic man who basically blackmailed and tricked a woman into marrying him and yet he is always portrayed as the perfect dreamy husband! Also Xia Lin went from being a dynamic young woman trying to make it in the entertainment industry to a stay-at-home obedient wife whose ONLY purpose is to support her toxic husband. Also Xia Lin’s reaction of her finding out Yi Zhou’s scam was absolutely terrifying. Instead of freaking out about the fact that she was being watched for months and forced to marry him, she was only upset because she had been lied to about her being ill. The issue of Ling Yi Zhou trapping her into that marriage is never tackled, while Yi Zhou hiring guards to keep her inside the house (so basically kidnapping her) after finding out that his scheme was uncovered is also a toxic behavior worth mentioning. All in all well intended love is about a toxic relationship that is everything but well intended and I definitely do not recommend to anyone to further support it. At the same time I hope everyone who has already watched it could understand how wrong and unacceptable it is for a show like this to air in 2019.. Horrifying.

Cute promising storyline with a very disappointing execution. It's pretty obvious that the producers are really trying to milk this project and make as many episodes as humanly possible. As a result the episodes are unjustifiably long with painful pauses during and between different scenes. It's really sad because I started out watching it very excited, then I started pressing the skip button every 3 seconds until I eventually dropped it.
The cast is quite likeable, but the characters not so much.. Fluke is a really really good actor but I personally can't stand Pharm..
Lastly, the ads. Most BL's have them but UWMA couldn't incorporate them well into the story and I cringe every time they come up..
In conclusion I think it's a very overhyped BL that I don't think I will be continuing since there are other ones airing at the same time that are a lot more worth watching imo than this one.

I'm absolutely in love with this show. Even though only 3 episodes have aired I've been totally hooked on it since the first one! Both main couples are super interesting and the side couples look promising as well.
This is also the first show that I find the ENTIRE cast so good! Literally EVERYONE is doing an amazing job! The domundi boys are all incredible, with -imo- Poppy really standing out. He's definitely my favorite comic-relief character of all the BL's I've watched.. His acting is hilarious while never going over the top! Jimmy is doing amazing as well as a newcomer and I think he really really suits Sai Fah's character. And Saint, well... is Saint.. always adorable and loveable af.
So if you're wondering if WHY RU is worth watching, well my answer is DEFINITELY YES! So far it's been super enjoyable, I can't wait for the rest of the episodes to be released and update my review<3
