I Love You (2020)

I went into this not knowing much about it, I did not know the plot, the characters, or the actors, but it was still quite enjoyable. This drama was nothing too serious and I watched it to just pass time. If you are in an awkward moment between dramas this one is a good one to watch.
The story itself was quite messy, but it somehow fit together. I will admit that at times I kept wondering to myself what was the point of watching this. It felt to me that a lot of things happened without any explanation. What truly bothered me was how Meng Lu claimed he was in love with Hong Qing Qing, to me it felt rushed. At first, he only liked her because his enemy was interested in her, but then he claims it was love at first, I don't really get it, but that's how it worked out.
I feel like the characters were not as developed as they should have been, so their relationships seemed artificial. By relationships, I mean romantic ones not friendships.
In a way the show was more like real life than a drama, there was not anything spectacular to it, but it still had its purpose and a somewhat steady plot.
The only other thing that I would criticize with this show is that the characters would constantly leave Hong Dou home alone like she is six years old, I feel like someone should be watching her.
WARNING the drama is not completed and I do not know when season 2 will be out, so watch out because it ends on a cliff hanger.

You can watch this drama on the iQIYI app, but the subtitles are not the best. Since I am familiar with mandarin I was able to follow along just fine, but a lot of the scenes I had to infer on what the characters are actually saying. But even so, the quality of the subtitles are enough to get a good understanding of the show.
