We Best Love

Zhou Shu Yi has spent years living in the shadow of Gao Shi De, a childhood rival who seems to stalk his thoughts. He goes to university hoping to claim his own path, free from Shi De's constant meddling. But the campus proves to be a proving ground for their rivalry and for something more intimate that quietly emerges between them. As they share classes, dorm rooms, and late night conversations, Shu Yi must decide what matters most: steady safety or the uncertain pull of a heart that won’t stay quiet. We Best Love follows two young men learning to unwrite old patterns while confronting the messy pull of first love.

Directed by Jui-Chih Chiang, the show was released in 2021 as an original Taiwanese drama from creators Sammi Pan and Lin Pei Yu. It's built around a campus romance that defies easy labels.

Since its release, the title has resonated with fans who crave nuanced queer romance on screen. Viewers praise its frank portrayal of identity under pressure and the easy chemistry between leads, which helped broaden acceptance of campus love stories in East Asia.

Critics generally note its restrained storytelling and strong performances, focusing on character growth, rivalry that softens into trust, and the tension between societal expectations and personal happiness. The show invites viewers to question who Shu Yi and Shi De want to become and what they owe to each other.
