I can't imagine Song Sanchuan and Liang You'an other than Wu Lei and Zhou Yutong
This drama could have ended for around 25-30 eps. It was a unique drama and the usual sports drama tropes are present. There are certain arcs too that are dragging and could be down to lessen the ep but nonetheless, these didn't really watered down the quality of this amazing drama.They really delivered the Chinese title (Nothing but Love) of this drama very well. I cannot really imagine having a different Song Sanchuan and Liang You'an other than Wu Lei and Zhou Yutong. Their interaction on screen are sooooooo natural to the point that I felt that it's like an invasion of privacy watching their sweet moments lol, I wouldn't also mind if they have a dating scandal after this, I totally root for them!
All the feels watching this last ep, I was smiling and giggling for the whole 40 minutes.
Just want to recap the highlights of the Ep 38:
- Mr. Gao Li and Jiang Jie's friendship is not the friendship we all asked for but gave to us with wholesome conviction. We know they are both scheming and always on each others neck but to see them joke around (even Jiang Jie splashing water to Gao Li), its so kind of like... "I know you are somewhat a bad guy, but you deserve a nice scene too." lol
- Jiang Jie watching to reconcile with Chen Ke. I was actually hoping or more like anticipating that Chen Ke will welcome back her husband again, rekindle their romance in some sort. We can also see that Jiang Jie wanted it too to happen. But when we saw how happy and vibrant Chen Ke was telling about her younger boyfriend, it was kind of melancholic how she and Jiang Jie parted ways in front of the Top Smash entrance. The feeling of relief and sadness that their toxic relationship ended well but not everyone moved on.
- Lu Nian and Coach Yan lol, I really like how after two years, Lu Nian finally gave her car key to Coach Yan lololol, all his advances finally paid off!
- Jiaojiao and Tao finally renting a house. I have been commenting about it a couple of times in earlier eps and finally, this couple settled down and started viewing relationship and marriage in a more serious way.
- Here I thought they have forgotten about Eel San, but noooo they made it happen to it's screen time, yeheyyyy
- I also love how this drama highlights that usual "LDR welcome back run and hug scene" that has been overused. How You'an was all in shocked, relieved and dazzled by Sanchuan's appearance. The unfamiliarity that you will when the person you love just came back after months of separation. It was so realistic.
- And finally, that epilogue scene is SO SOLID. Love how they gave us a peek on their married life.
SONG SANCHUAN and LIANG YOU'AN, Thank you for giving my Mar-April 2023 a heavy dose of serotonin <3
