This is an interesting drama to dissect because there are clearly so much elements at play. Modern workplace romance C-drama Only for Love with Bai Lu and Dylan Wang finished airing this week and a happy ending did nothing to help this drama elevate it’s uniformly bad reviews. I think even Dylan fans just stayed quiet because trying to compliment this nothingburger is a futile effort, it’s better to just let it pass on by and wait for a better project ahead. What’s interesting is that insiders are saying this drama made money for the production and no industry honchos are blaming the two leads for the bad reviews, hence this will have no impact on their continued cast-ability and popularity. I thought the script and direction was beyond terribly but the two leads also didn’t showcase strong chemistry or do anything to help make this more palatable.

Dylan famously tried to back out of this drama after LBFAD became a hit last July, because he took on the project before LBFAD aired and whatever role or wages he got was probably less than what he can get after LBFAD but YuZheng scolded Dylan and his agent on Weibo for trying to break contract.
Guess we now know why.
My feelings exactly
This drama is still on-going in US so I’m glad to read about the happy ending. I really like happy endings! However. I really don’t get the bad reviews even if they were correct regarding the chemistry. I still looked forward for each episode to upload.
Well, the series was frustrating. But that's how the script was written. Not everything can be a hit I guess.
I don't know why people said this drama is bad, it is not. Is a romcom and I find it entertaining just to watch how the ML and the FL get together. though the break up part was a draggy. It can be shorten and add more sweet scenes because it got rush a lot in the end and it made the drama not fully develop and audience wise satisfy. There shouldn't have a special episode with the wedding. The wedding should be able to put into the series to make the audience feel happy when watching a happy ending series.
Regardless, Dylan is just so handsome and likable and I find BaiLu adorable and pretty as well. Their visuals was amazing and perfect. They match each other very well and the chemistry was there. It wasn't intense but that of cute and compatible chemistry which I like. I hope for another cooperation between them and I don't care if it an another modern drama or period one. LOVE THEM BOTH
What you said is so true
I dont know why people say its bad
Yes they dragged it a little
But the last episodes were so good that i could not stop grinning like a fool
agree it was so good !!
What is said that bad chemistry they're not actually from the beginning it is good romcom drama and the lead cast and the support are all good its romantically feeling after you've watched the ep., I don't know if others don't like the drama but for for me it's a thumbs up and rated 1-10 I give them 9 because still not finished but according to the preview I've watched its good and I can possibly recommend this drama
That drama was so interesting that I've watched 3 time ..don't care about bad reviews
Exactly my point I really love the chemistry of Dylan and Bailu..I got vip account on Mango TV because of OFL..matured ROM com. Would really want to see them again together in a series
I’m in agreement…I am watching from the US and am still waiting on episodes to drop. The story line is at best weak. (My husband is interested in the solid state EV battery story line bc he works in the automotive industry) but with that Bai Lu’s character is frustrating for me to watch (how she continuously does not speak what she is feeling. However, I appreciated her characters styling choices. Wang He Di continues to improve in his acting skills. Overall, I don’t really understand all of the “hate” that this drama is receiving. I don’t understand why people are obsessed with Dylan’s dubbing. I just think that people who want to criticize and complain will. Esther Yu’s voice drove me crazy in LBFAD so much so that I can’t even watch her in anything anymore. But I never thought about complaining on boards about it until now…so…To each his own.
Well I agree with you Bai lu act more natural and charming for me, she is good in every drama and all her male leads have good chemistry with her because her sweet and adorable personality, she is quite playful even on the set, no awkward moment with her co star.. I don't have hate towards ester yu but i do agree with you about her voice kinda.... Hahaha
Horrible all around. Lack of story, drags, ost/instruments, fashions equals waste of our time. Nothing to brag about. People complain about kdrama drags w/ 16-20ep, Cdrama still need to improve.
I like Dylan Wang in most dramas. This drama moved slow but I looked forward to the next episode.
For me it's a well made drama...I love both ML and FL and even the supporting casts... It's quite entertaining and love the happy ending....
The story is boring! But the chemistry of Bailu and Dylan is awesome. They are really great paired. I usually don't admired actors. But with Bailu, she's different, She has an amazing acting skills that can't compared to others.Plus her Beauty! Wow! There is something on her.When it comes to drama, The person who is paired to her also shines because of her!So I just hope Next time there would be nice story line for her, like Arsenals Military Academy, The Legends, Love is Sweet etc
I dropped it in episode 4, so 😂😂
The bad review made by netizen, dont believe in their review or douban rating. They have mafia, and try to extort money from the production team, if they get money, they quiet, but then after few episodes they back again and ask for more money.Just use logic, how can the drama that is so popular and generate good traffic (being watched by so many people) and generate good money is bad? It is rank 2 behind The Kunning Palace another drama with Bai Lu that break record (they try to attack this one too but failed). So don't let the review influence you , just watch with open mind and see by yourself
