The most perfect drama I've seen!

This is absolutely one of my most favourite dramas by far! The characters were great, the storyline was amazing, and the overall performance was an absolute banger!

I only watched this because some of my friends had watched it when it first came out, but I didn't have the heart to start it until this year (because I wasn't a cdrama fan back then). But now that I've finished it, I have to admit, I do wish I had seen it earlier.

To summarize the beginning, the FL wakes up on bus no. 45. Seemingly frantic, she yells to the bus driver that there is a pervert on the bus (AKA the ML). She ends up pulling the ML off the bus, and then leaves him without any explanation. However, she hears an explosion in the distance, and a motorcycle ends up bumping into her, which gives her a concussion. In the hospital, she sees the ML, who had debris all over his body. When the police come in to interrogate her, it is revealed that she is in a time loop, where the bus she is on is always about to explode. As expected, the police don't believe her, and then it is shown that the ML has died. The FL falls asleep, and then she wakes up on the bus again. Unexpectedly, the ML also wakes up and finds himself in the time loop. After many failed attempts to get off the bus, the two end up making plans to prevent the bus from exploding in the first place. The two progress through all the difficulties they face (getting interrogated by the police, getting stabbed, facing the truth of those behind the bombing, etc), and no matter how hard it is to find the truth, they continue to fight to protect the innocent beings on the bus and around.

I really enjoyed this drama, as it was more focused on the actual storyline and the development of the characters, and there was no side drama involved. The plot was straightforward, and kept me captivated throughout, which is why I really liked it.

I hope Restart (if it'll be confirmed to come out) will be as captivating and as awesome as Reset!

Interesting storyline with interesting characters

This drama has some interesting aspects to it, I would definitely recommend this for anyone who enjoys watching vengeance-themed dramas, but if that's the case, you might as well stop watching after ep 13, when the revenge arc ends and the treasure map arc gets the spotlight.

The FL possesses a strong yet stubborn character. Despite being blamed for her father's death, and narrowly escaping death a few times, she still chose to continue her life strong, doing anything she would to bring justice to those who had made her suffer. She spent her "second life" avenging her father (and herself), rather than playing the life of the 2ML's sister. She constantly ignored her "brother" as he tried to stop her from her revenge plan, but still chose to stay by his side whenever she could.

The ML is a rather interesting character. I have to say, it is quite unsettling for me to see a general (out of all people) persuing the FL, but it is what it is. He is also fairly stubborn, as he is willing to do anything so that the FL to fall in love with him, even though the 2ML disagrees with this choice. His mission to find the hidden treasure was a bit confusing to me at first, but it became more clear during the later episodes when it was revealed that Prince Yi was secretly on the search for the treasure for himself. In the end, after narrowly escaping certain death himself, he and the FL get together and get married, which ends with a note given to them (not quite sure what that was all about).

Overall, the drama was great, with two separate storylines in one. Some people have negative opinions because of that, but I have to say it is worth the watch, especially with the twist in the last two episodes.

Great chemistry between couples

Many people criticize Only For Love because of the constant miscommunication between Zheng Shuyi (Bailu) and Shi Yan (Dylan Wang). In my honest opinion, however, that doesn't really matter, because the storyline itself is great!

While there are many times when I felt second-hand embarrassment (especially with FL), I really enjoyed this drama. The chemistry between ML and FL was amazing. Sure, the FL might be a bit proactive, but it builds up the story. The ML may be bossy, but we all have to admit that he played his role well.

The second couple (Qin Shiyue and Yu You) was also very sweet. Like the FL, Qin Shiyue may be a bit too proactive, and Yu You was fairly hesitant to be with her at first, but when the two do get together, the result is beautiful love. In order to see that, though, you'll have to dive deeper into the drama, and go through all the times that Yu You felt uncomfortable with Shiyue, but I'd say its fairly worth it.

Overall, IMO, this drama is great, flaws and all. Some people will hate it, others will love it, it's up to you to decide.

Cute drama

This was the first drama by Wei Zheming that I've watched (and the first cdrama I've ever watched). The characters were cute, and the storyline was awesome. Normally, romance isn't my favourite genre, but after watching this, my perspective has changed quite a bit.

Perfect and Casual is about Yun Shu, a college student who stumbles into a series of unimaginable events because of her college professor, Zhang Sinian, a perfectionist who doesn't like mistakes and disorder. Because of the latter's grandfather's illness, the two are forced together and begin a rather bumpy relationship. However, as time passes, the two get closer together and start loving each other for real.

The FL did a pretty good job portraying her character, a college student who is ready to graduate. She is a very sweet character, but she does get annoying at times (but, at the same time, you will feel bad for her). She had quite the ups and downs in her journey throughout the drama, which makes the drama a whole lot more interesting. However, the only downside is that her crying doesn't seem natural enough, but it doesn't affect her character too much.

The ML also did an excellent job in this drama. The only reason why I found this drama is because of Call Me By Fire S3, where I immediately fell in love with Wei Zheming's cuteness. In the drama, he plays the role of a young college professor who is centered around perfectionism. His character may seem annoying and arrogant at first, but after a while, he will grow on you, especially during the moments he spends with the FL.

Overall, this drama is very good. The story was amazing, the acting was great, and this drama is definitely worth a rewatch!
