Only for Love (2022– )
1/10
A big boring dud
8 April 2024
Review till episode 12(out of 36).

Review update and final update episode 19.

It's been such a big boring dud till now, apart from maybe 15 minutes of average interesting scenes, rest of it has been a big boring dud. I have already started to skip scenes.

Both the leads have serious communication issues. For a entrepreneur CEO and a hotshot reporter, both of them can't seem to have a conversation with each other, I don't know how they excel at their jobs. FL will always blurt out random idiotic irritating things either in text or face to face, still I'd give her points for making so much effort, even though she behaves like an absolute clueless person when it comes to ML, for someone who's suppose to be smart mature adult, the plot convience makes her absolute buffoon. ML is even worse when it comes to FL, he can't seem to reply in texts, he either doesn't know how to type or has broken fingers, and face to face he can't say more than 2 words that make sense, will never say anything out loud or talk to FL , but gets annoyed for her not understanding. How will she know if you can't speak up? ML is typical rich character, who's rude and obnoxious and expects FL to roam around him all the time.

A special mention to FLs best friend. She can't handle her own love life, but always keeps interfering with the leads and gives the most incorrect problem creating advice to FL, and FL is even bigger idiot who blindly follows everything she says. This is to the point that if this character would stop interfering with her friends love life, the two leads would already be dating each other.

I'm so done with this trope in kdramas and cdramas where the leads have biggest idiots for friends who will always give idiotic advices to the leads and create issues.

I can understand this phase in a drama for 1 or 2 episodes at most. But it's been 12 episodes and the story has hardly moved on. It's just misunderstanding upon misunderstanding, and they keep piling on to the point that it's way too irritating.

I am desperately hoping for things to change and new things to happen between 2 leads, or atleast they can have proper conversation. I'll probably watch another 3 or 4 episodes, and if this continues I'm gonna quit it and rate it 1/10 for wasting my time.

FINISHED EPISODE 19 Just somehow finished episode 19, and that's it. I'm done with this absolute piece of garbage show. This drama is about bunch of idiots who can't utter a proper sentence to each other. ML just keeps a stone face and glares and can't utter words to form a proper sentence. FL is worse, she speaks and make things worse. Direction is even worse and so lazy, like each time the leads are about to get close their phone will start ringing at the exact moment, and they have used this dinasour age trope atleast 7-8 times, how lazy you have to be to write the same thing. The leads are just, it's episode 19 and they are at the same page as they were in the beginning. I have seen hundreds of dramas and TV shows and never I have been annoyed like this and wasted my time. Nothing happens in the show, literally nothing, he has meetings, does business deals which are boring AF, and she does interviews and writes articles, which are even more boring to watch, literally nothing eventful happens. Other times side characters have lame ass things to do and leads are the worst. Even the acting isn't any better.

The entire show is just buildup of misunderstandings, and there have been so many, probably more than 50, that I can't even remember some of them.

I thought it would improve but there's just no end to this. Average IMDb rating of 7.8 is just ridiculous. This show doesn't deserve anything above 4, that is if you are being generous. I'm gonna change my rating to 1, I would have chosen a negative number if there was an option.
