So the fast and not too furiously faced run of modern romance C-drama Love for You (Chinese title Ye Go Gu Tou 野狗骨头 or Wild Dog Bone) has concluded and the drama may actually be worth me giving a second chance. I checked out the first few episodes and was just meh about it, FF-ing more than I should and not feeling too much impetus to continue. Leads Song Wei Long and Zhang Jing Yi were just okay, separately and together, neither were awful but also not impressive or terribly interesting. I like the set up enough, their parents were together so they lived as “siblings” but are not blood related, and have the wild gulf of her being destined to succeed in a white collar world while he’s slated to live a hardscrabble blue collar/criminal-adjacent life so he pushes her away but she comes back. But the story details (the hows and whys and narrative beats) bored me and I found myself just scanning for their scenes hoping for some magic chemistry to make all the in-betweens worth sitting through. The earlier episodes didn’t have it so I dipped but now that the drama is done I’ve heard it gets better and the opening Douban ratings of 6.9 are actually on the high side. Folks who have watched this please share some thoughts as well.
