Be Loved in House: I do


My opinion / thoughts on the series. Heads up, its gonna be a long one with SPOILERS, so if you havent seen the whole thing, DO NOT READ.

So the series is over, the main storyline that is. The special episode still remains and the opinions are divided. There are some that think it was a little rushed, there are some that think the structure of the storyline wasnt good enough. Ive read some negative comments on the Mydramalist page about the series, which said that the second couple got more spotlight sometimes more than the main couple. But ive read some other opinions which i agreed with that the second couple was completely pointless and their screentime shouldve been given to the main couple.
The second couple was just screen filler till the maincouple got together. I think this was a mistake, which the last episode made up for big time + we get a 13th episode in which Yunzhen, Shi Lei will be the protagonist, and Yi Zitong will be the supporting actor. You can read this on the Mydramalist page aswell. So Im hoping we get some nice moments and some answers that the 13th episode will give. Many of us love the series despite the mistakes and flaws. In honesty, every series has ups and downs but let me list some things I personally did not like about this series in particular:

-The series and the episodes were short. The episodes shouldve been ATLEAST 45 minutes long, even if the budget wasnt big, still. Couldve made it better. There were just not enough time for the love to unfold between Yunzhen and Shi Lei and why they fell in love.
-The lack of communication and Yunzhens inner struggle got pretty frustrating (10, 11 episode). I understand that he didnt want to get hurt again, but he truly loved Shi Lei.

-So I understand the tenseness during the final episode, cause Yunzhen realised that he could actually his love.
-I also undestand Shi Lei's concerns because he was unexperienced and never been in love, especially when the ex showed up and he couldnt really understand the situation.
But it still bugged me that they just cant express their feelings towards eachother, tho the gestures and expressions spoke without words.
All this aside, I loved their story and their chemistry and when their relationship "exploded" in the 12th episode that was amazing.

-The second couple didnt really add much to the story, other than one of them giving advices to Yunzhen. They were cute and all but as I said above, they were just filling out the screentime and they were nowhere as good as the main couple.

Things that I liked:
-The series was overall pretty good especially Yunzhen and Shi Lei (Aaron and Hank), you could tell that they longed for eachother before they actually started talking to eachother.

-For me the ending was satisfying and i knew it was going to be a happy ending which it was and im happy about that. I didnt really need for them to confess their love as I always took them as a couple. They cared for eachother, sleeped next to eachother, were jealous of eacother, worried about eachother.


This is definitely a series to rewatch. Im hoping for a second season OR that we can see the main couple in a different series cause they work together so well.

Thank you for taking time to read this long novel and if you would like to comment or add something, please feel free to do so! :)
I hope you are Being Loved in House aswell ;) and i wish you all the best!
Another thing i'd like to point out that is a big plus to me is Shi Lei's mother.
I really like the scene where Shi Lei opened up about his sexuality and she reacted so calmly, kindly and was supportive. That scene brought tears to my eyes.
