More Than One Story
This is a continuation of We Best Love No. 1 but yet it presents a unique and different approach to love. It is not as powerful as the first series but it helps cement what did happen in the first. However, there are some interesting twists and turns for other supporting staff that are simply brilliant. Honestly, that is way more intriguing to watch especially since it deals with individuals who definitely dance to the beat of a different drummer. That part is superb.If you want to read my full review, please go to BLBliss.com. Leave a comment if you like.

Third Couple Syndrome
I began the second installment with high hopes! The first one was really good, so the second one will be really good too! Right? Meh...I mean it wasn’t horrible. The first few episodes I was vibin’. The main cast is very good and I love the music as always, but it was just really boring. The main couple’s conflict could have easily been solved or at least given more gravity if they would communicate, but of course they didn’t. And then the second couple...they were a mess that really just needed their own show. I always felt really awkward whenever I watched their scenes, since I feel that the show didn’t handle the mental health thing very well. By the time I got to the middle of the show, I was just skipping to find scenes with Zhe Yu and Bing Wei. They were the saving grace for me, as I just find them to be adorable. I’d watch a show about them and think that if they were given more screen time I would have enjoyed this way more. And why doesn’t anyone ever talk about how attractive Richard Lee is? Like for real! They better get more screen time if there is a third installment.

Season 2 dari WBL
Ini merupakan series WBL musim ke dua yang berfokus pada kepulangan Gao Shi De dari luar negeri. Di awali dengan konflik yang menurutku terlalu berlebihan ya, tidak terlalu mengejutkan karena di season 1 kita sudah diperlihatkan gambaran awal, namun konflik ini seolah-oleh me"reset" hubungan Gao dan Zhou Shu Yi, seolah-olah ini punya cerita baru ; hanya berbeda latar kehidupan saja (season 1 tentang masa kuliah, sedangkan season 2 mereka semua sudah masuk ke dunia pekerjaan). Dari segi dialog menurutku tidak terlalu berkesan ya, scene dari second main role seperti yang diperankan Richard Lee dan Evan Luo malah lebih menarik, apalagi Ray Chang dan Shih Chih Tian yang luar biasa punya vibes baru yang menguatkan dan membumbui series ini. Konflik yang terjadi dari main role utama ya begitu-begitu saja, Dari segi warna dan scene mungkin agak lebih berat dari season pertamanya ya, Series ini menurutku sangat rekomendasi untuk di tonton, terutama bagi kalian yang sudah menonton season 1-nya. Selain itu series ini akan membawa kalian ke keseruan WBL Vacation yang seriesnya tayang gratis di WE_TV ketika review ini di tulis. per 14 Juni 2023.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
I love the kiss in Episode 2
I only registered an account on this website of mydramalist after seeing the series of Fighting No. 2nd. That means how much I love this series. I’ve seen a lot of boy’s love series before. But only this series made me register an account on this website.I’ve seen Episode 2 hundreds of times. The kiss of Sam Lin for Yu is very natural. Sam Lin must drink a bit before for the scene. The way he threw the bag was completely decisive. I love the scenes of in that most. The actions and also the music made the scene wonderful.

The raw emotion made it so worth it
Overall if I were to compare it to the first season it's not as good. The main reason for that is the miscommunication trope. It was soo convoluted and unnecessarily antagonistic. I understand the purpose of it, but the way we got from "you did this" to "oh, so that was the reason?" (or multiple reasons in this case) seemed a bit too much for me.Apart from that, once again the main actors did a splendid job portraying their characters. I really don't mind the miscommunication trope that much, cause the raw emotion the characters experienced because of it was worth it. Zhou Shu Yi's feelings were right there on display throughout the whole show and I loved it. That in contrast to Gao Shi De's surface level composure just hits you right in the feels.

the only needed season 2 I have seen
Loved it. I am going to average it and then see what the overall rating is. The average was 9.083 stars out of 10, so I rounded it down to 9 stars out of 10. The acting in this was just as good as the first one. If not even better. I am going to talk about characters and then look at my episode reviews and write about that, because there's only so much I can actually write and there are word minimums for these reviews. Okay, let's start.Starting off with our baes, Zhou shu yi and gao shi de. So much went down with these two, with their fucking plot twist after plot twist. They pulled through in the end, though. It was a misunderstanding. There was a huge misunderstanding that they never ended up talking out because Shu Yi's dad is a lonely fucking liar who has issues with love. Putting myself in both of their shoes, I would feel betrayed by the other and not know what actually happened. Everyone hated Gao Shi De because of a miscommunication that was never clarified. The baby wasn't his; it was his literal half brother. Ate with that one genius. Gao shi de and Shu yi's dad unintentionally made a villain with the shit that went down. I'm glad they pulled through. Fuck Shu Yi's goofy ass dad.
Then we got my baes, Shi Zhe Yu and Liu Bing Wei. I love them and their shit. Zhe Yu's visuals are crazy; he is so good-looking, and I actually don't know why. It's the way his face sits; it's just so interesting; I love it. They were cute, but also one of the main reasons that Gao Shi De got so much hate from Shu Yi: they were fueling that shit. Oh my god, with their comments and actions, they were making that hate grow bigger and bigger by the day. I'm glad they had their super mega happy ending at the end; I love that for them. Actually, I didn't even know they were together.
Yu Zhen Xuan and Pei Shou Yi Yu Zhen Xuan was my favorite character. (I am going to copy and paste his name because I am going to be saying it a lot.) First, the actor did an amazing job. He displayed the character very well, and I could just feel the emotion through the screen. Yu Zhen Xuan is such a cutie, and I love him. The way he acts and just is is relatable, and I love him. He had a list of mental illnesses, and I want more background on that. Hopefully that special episode will tell me more about it, lol. I will watch that tomorrow because it's late. I love him so much. Pei Shou Yi, the problem cousin who doesn't feel emotions He started feeling them at the end with Yu Zhen Xuan, which is good character development. He was also really relatable for some reason. The way he acted and his demeanor I love these two so much.
Fuck Shu Yi's father; I hate him. There's not a whole lot more to say about him, lol. I just hate him, and he needs to back his lonely ass up.
In the first episode, I found my love for Yu Zhen Xuan, saying, "I don't know the guy's name, but the guy who is a little strange and sits in his chair like he's a child is very cute." So real me 11 hours ago. I was really interested in what was going to happen because of all the plot twists and gray areas. It kept me really hooked, and I loved it.
The second episode had the iconic scene that we have all seen for sure. I actually had no idea it was them until a YouTube short yesterday told me about it. And the whole promise thing got leaked, and I was so confused, and I was already suspecting the dad, which I was right about for once with this show.
Then the third episode I continue to go on about Yu Zhen Xuan, saying, "I love whatever the weird dude is. He is so cute." So true, I said 10 hours ago, I love him too. There were many suggestions back to back, and this show was flipping me right on my head after making me think I was right.
Then, in the next few episodes, they got their shit together, and we got more information on all our characters while still leaving some gray areas. We got a super mega happy ending for Zhe Yu and Bing Wei and sort of everyone else. Good for them. This was good—just as good as season 1, actually. That's my hot take. I would recommend it. I am sleeping now. Okay bye!

Great but still lacking
First off, rated high bc of incredible acting from both of them. Production value is great too, I felt no awkwardness from crying scenes or most scenes that would make me skip if I was watching another BL drama. The story though, not the best. Overused trope that I really hoped would be different this time around. 5 years relationship gap and for such a stupid reason?! no no. At least a 1-2 year gap would make sense. And the side stories were honestly not great. School doctor and high school student? I really wish the conclusion is that they both move on bc it makes 0 sense for them to be together. Anyway the 2 main leads acted incredibly well. Wish this had a great story as well. I'll still rate it high cause it was worth watching the 2 of them.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Sad, but should definitely watch
I watched this season after the first one, cause I thought it was cute. Nope, I literally cried every episode. It is more mature and darker than the first season, and we definitely got to see more of how their relationship developed after leaving school. There were quite a few moments that were quite heartbreaking which was very different from the first version, but I felt that it was very in tune with the fact they were adults and no longer as young and naive as they used to be.The acting, like the first season, was good and all the actors managed to convinced me of the emotions and convictions in each scene. Of course it wasn't totally perfect, hence my rating. I really like the music in general, maybe personal preference, but I also liked the way it fit into certain scenes. I would love to rewatch it, but because it's kinda sad I will have to collect myself before watching it again.
But yes, you should definitely watch it. It's sweet, sad, kind of funny at times and quite well done overall.

Shi de is stupid---stupidly in love
*happy ending for both couples*Again, Yu's acting here is superb. It is the very reason I will rewatch this series. The anger, his love and his longing are deeply felt in his acting. However, the misunderstandings that led to the conflict are very...uhm stupid. Especially Shi de. I cant understand how he could do such a thing to Shu yi for 5 frickin years and act as if he cant tell the reason, only to break his promise. What were all those years are for?
Also, one of the reasons I rated this lower than season 1 is because of the second couple. I really dont understand it. The series made it seem like people with affective disorders are heartless, but it isnt so. They could also switch to happiness too. And not just mirror someone's feelings. The second couple's conclusion are also quite confusing.
I would rewatch this only for the first couple and Shu yi's dad which is really hilarious hahahah. Love him.

Fighting The Urge To Rewatch The First Season (Again)
I'm not sure why I never wrote a review for this? Probably because I was upset initially that our main boys were split up for like 5 years from the first season to this season! I understand why (stupid father) but it felt unnecessary. Although without it I'm not exactly sure where this season would've went. It's no secret that We Best Love is one of my top BL series. Its got amazing acting, storyline, chemistry, music, etc. So this second season was probably never going to live up to that. However, it was still pretty darn good. So watch it! Just be prepared to be frustrated for a bit before things go back to where they need to be.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Best BL and most underrated
Honestly, I only created an account just for this drama. The production quality, the acting chops, the directorial savviness, it's all just *chef's kiss.* I would go as far as to say that not only is this an underrated BL, it's arguably underrated in the whole romance genre.I look forward to seeing what the actors are going to bring us next in their careers. When I spoke about how good their acting was, I always feel like I'm underselling them because the amount of chemistry and raw passion found between the two male leads is something that I've never come across before in Taiwanese dramas. It really seemed as if their acting belonged on the big screens in Hollywood. They already look amazing in suits.

Too many loose ends
The first series was excellent and a change to the usual Thai BLs. Sped through this eager for more about the main leads' relationship and where it would lead, not really interested in the side relationships. A little confused as to what happened when and did GSD actually tell SY about the blonde woman and baby because I don't recall him actually explaining clearly what happened in the US.However, disappointed with the ending and felt episode 6.5 was completely unnecessary, repeating what had happened in previous episodes. That relationship I didn't feel was appropriate and I certainly don't think a third season about them would have been justified.. but that's just my personal opinion. I would have liked a closing scene with the two main leads declaring undying love etc rather than the side leads' proposal.. that episode felt unfinished.
On the whole however, really enjoyed WBL.
