I May Love You: A Heartwarming Romantic Drama with Comedy and Sweet Moments

On November 25th, the TV series "I May Love You" premiered on various legitimate video platforms such as Tencent Video. Starring Wei Zhe Ming and Huang Ri Ying, this drama tells the love story between an aspiring female screenwriter and a domineering CEO.

Based on the episodes released so far, I feel that this drama excels in its use of comedy and sweet moments. It can be highly recommended to young audiences as a top-quality romantic comedy in recent times.

For some reason, many netizens have been overly critical of romantic comedies lately. For instance, when I wrote a drama review article praising the quality of the romantic comedy "Love as a Business," some netizens criticized the sweet and affectionate lines in the show. It's important to evaluate romantic comedies within their own genre, and that's a significant premise. Regarding "I May Love You," I believe it should also be analyzed and evaluated as a romantic comedy.

Within its genre, this TV series maximizes its appeal. Moreover, TV dramas that offer lessons in love always have their merits and rarely disappoint.

The character development in this drama is impressive. Firstly, the male protagonist is a CEO of a film and television company, while the female protagonist is a screenwriter in the same industry. This setting confines the characters within the film and television industry, which works well and avoids unnecessary complications. Additionally, the glamour associated with the entertainment industry makes it more appealing to the viewers. Both main characters are career-oriented, which prevents the issue of them neglecting their responsibilities, a problem that often arises in romantic comedies.

Some romantic comedies deviate in the opposite direction, becoming too focused on their careers, featuring doctors or firefighters, for example, which can be less engaging. In "I May Love You," the main characters work in the film and television industry, and the portrayal of their work is authentic. This is a positive aspect of the show.

Furthermore, the period of romantic ambiguity between the main characters is the most captivating aspect. The female protagonist has secretly admired the male protagonist for over a thousand days. Meanwhile, the male protagonist also has feelings for the female protagonist, but neither of them confesses their love. This kind of setup, where no one speaks up and they constantly try to decipher each other's thoughts, creates a strong sense of sweet and affectionate moments. For example, when the female lead wants the male lead to produce a film for her, she says, "I want you." This line is powerful and resonates with the established audience of romantic comedies. The characterizations of both the male and female leads are intriguing. The male lead is a serious CEO in the film and television industry, but he also has a humorous side. The female lead, on the other hand, may come across as a novice screenwriter, but she strives to prove her talent. Both characters are ambitious, which leads to interesting interactions. Therefore, there are numerous sweet and affectionate moments arising from their professional lives, such as the scene where the female lead draws a storyboard while discussing the script with the male lead. This particular scene is undoubtedly heartwarming for the target audience.

The drama also includes many instances of female characters taking the initiative, providing comedic moments. For instance, the female lead repeatedly requests to ride in the male lead's car, creating an intimate space for them. On the second occasion, her assistant even encourages her, suggesting that the first time was a lie because the car hadn't been serviced at the dealership, so the second time must be genuine. These scenes elicit laughter from the viewers.

Especially noteworthy is the storytelling from the female lead's perspective, which adds a lot of humor. In this drama, audiences can witness the protagonist's girlish side. This quality is crucial in romantic comedies. Many romantic comedies lack this girlish charm, which represents the most beautiful aspects of femininity—innocence, kindness, and a sense of fun. With this girlish charm, a romantic comedy can succeed and deliver heartwarming moments.

In terms of performances, the lead actors excel within the realm of romantic comedies. The male lead embodies charisma, while the female lead effectively portrays the innocence and girlishness of her character.

Both of them have met the requirements of the script very well. Especially on Huang Ri Ying's part, her pure, kind, and beautiful temperament should also meet the expectations of the audience for a sweet and affectionate drama.
