"The On1y One" is nothing short of a masterpiece in Taiwanese drama. From its gripping narrative to its impeccable performances, this series has set a new benchmark for storytelling in the genre. The show effortlessly blends heart-wrenching drama with moments of light-hearted humor, creating a rollercoaster of emotions that leaves viewers both captivated and profoundly moved. The plot, which revolves around intricate relationships and personal growth, is crafted with such finesse that each episode feels like a journey into the depths of human experience. The writers have done an extraordinary job in weaving together a story that is both original and profoundly relatable, making "The On1y One" a standout piece of television.

The cast's performances are nothing short of stellar. Every actor brings a depth to their character that is both authentic and compelling. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, elevating every scene they share. Their ability to portray a wide range of emotions with such nuance is a testament to their skill and dedication. It's rare to see such a harmonious blend of talent that so effectively pulls the audience into the characters' world. Additionally, the supporting cast provides strong performances that enhance the overall richness of the narrative, creating a well-rounded and immersive viewing experience.

The production quality of "The On1y One" is also praiseworthy. The attention to detail in the set design, cinematography, and soundtrack contributes to the show's overall aesthetic, making it not only a pleasure to watch but also a visual and auditory feast. The series manages to create a world that feels both real and magical, drawing viewers into its beautifully crafted universe. The careful consideration given to each aspect of production ensures that the show is as engaging visually as it is emotionally.

Given how the first season ended, it is clear that there is so much more to explore and develop in this rich narrative landscape. The ending leaves viewers craving more, with unresolved plotlines and character arcs that demand further exploration. It is only natural to hope for a second season to continue the story and delve deeper into the intricate web of relationships and personal growth established in the first. "The On1y One" has captivated audiences with its brilliance, and a sequel would undoubtedly be met with immense anticipation and excitement. Here's hoping for a season 2 that can continue to live up to the exceptional standards set by its predecessor.

I only chanced upon this drama series after hearing the same title theme song by 831 on 23 August 2024. This new song is so good that prompted me to look up on the background of this song - which is this drama series.

The first episode was slow, but when you watch the following episodes, you would understand the story flow. At the time of this review, I have watched 6 episodes - and i can tell you, i have in sum watched at least 5 times because the director has put in so much effort in creating little nuances among the 2 main characters - and the build up of their relationship. A great series!

I am already looking forward to the next 6 episodes.

I must say, it does not put justice to the entire team for not having much marketing effort to promote this superb series. This great series must be shared to more people!

Kudos to the team and the two main characters for making such series possible. Hopefully, we can have a season 2.

One of the best BL dramas I've ever seen. But of course it was to be expected, Taiwan is the best in this field in my opinion. This show is extraordinary from every aspect: chemistry between the characters, the acting of Benjamin and Liu Dong, the plot which is engaging and moving. I love this series so much that every week I look forward to Wednesdays and Thursdays, which have become my favorite days. So I hope but above all I pray that there will be a second season with our beloved Benjamin Tsang and Liu Dong Quin. You guys are amazing.

I like this series so much that I think I will also read the book, even if I will struggle because unfortunately there are none translated into Italian. Can anyone recommend a site where I can read it even if it's in English? I would be grateful!

I did not know that I would be hooked with this series ever since I saw it's trailer poster on tiktok. But this series got my heart from the very start starting from the talented actors down to the storyline. I have just recently finished reading the novel and I could see the similarities in the flow of the storyline but with some changes as to pace the series since it will only have 12 episodes. I just hope that the ending for this series will be satisfactory depending on whether it will have another season or not. And if it will really have another season, I hope that they will retain LDQ and BT as Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian, respectfully.

Mainstream media often overlook LGBTQ+ audiences or, worse, represent them poorly. Programs like The On1y One remind us that we deserve stories that are respectful and engaging. This series is a beautiful example of how LGBTQ+ stories can be told with heart, without reducing them to stereotypes. It's a positive step towards more authentic, high-quality content for the community.

The performances of Liu Dong Qin and Benjamin Tsang deserve special mention. Both actors bring incredible depth to their roles. Liu Dong Qin, his performance is vulnerable yet strong, creating a character that viewers can root for and identify with. Benjamin Tsang complements this perfectly, adding layers to his performance that make the onscreen relationship believable and impactful. The chemistry between the two is electric, and it is their performances that make the difference. The raw emotion they bring to their roles has made this series not only a visual delight, but a roller coaster of emotions.

The On1y One not only explores a budding romantic relationship, but also addresses issues of self-discovery, family bonds and the challenges of dealing with societal expectations. It offers viewers a nuanced look at the characters' internal struggles, which makes their journey seem authentic and relatable. Although The On1y One has a few episodes left to air, the run so far has been nothing short of exceptional. It's rare to find a series that manages to capture both emotional intensity and realistic storytelling within the BL genre, and this one delivers on both fronts. If the show maintains this level of quality through to the end, there is no doubt that we fans will demand a continuation of this story.
