Hard one to rate
Well, first things first, I'm sad I haven't watched this series earlier! It was on my to watch list before it even aired, but then I didn't know if I should watch it or not, because of the comments I read on social media, so I was delaying watching it until last night ?I really dom't know how to rate this drama, I both liked and disliked it ?
Liked:
The chemistry between Max and Cheng Hao was TOP NOTCH, I really really liked their acting! And because they did an amazing job, I loved their characters!
I loved all the cute/good things, moments and details this drama gave us, both with couples and the side characters.
It was a cute and refreshing drama to watch, wow I can't stop thinking about CTS and FLK (okay idk if I should put CZS&FLG or CZS&FLK so don't come at me ?) these two made ma all happy and giggly through the series ? All their scenes were really good! ?
Disliked:
Now the hard part...
First of all I don't know what to think about *THAT ONE EPISODE*
I can kinda understand why what happened in that episode had to happen, you know, sometimes we prioritize the happiness of other's insted of our own happiness, but if by what we're choosing, none of us is happy... than that's definitely not a good option ? so personally I didn't like that episode, if they really had to make it that way, they could've make it a little different/better.
Now the second main couple... I'll be honest, I haven't watched Matt's other dramas so I can't say he's a bad actor! But I just think that this role wasn't suiting for him.
It's nice how we got this type of a father-daughter story, it's not something we can see often in this concept, it's supposed to be mature, but it wasn't portrayed right (just my opinion) and I think 2nd couple's story was a little boring and longer than it should've been... I'll be honest again, I watched some of their scenes, but I also skipped some of their scenes...
The "WHY DID THIS HAPPEN" episode and 2nd couple made me go from "I absolutely love this drama" to "now what? do I like it or no?"
So, without that one episode and unnecessary moments that 2nd couple had, I could've easily rated this drama 9/10 or even 10/10 (just my taste ?♀️)
But I'll give it an 8/10, because in the end it is a good drama with some flaws ?
I'm giving it a rating like this, because, if you just skip the unnecessary parts, it's really good!

Clean and simple
I really enjoyed this! It’s super easy watch that I think could easily be a comfort watch.The plot isn’t super complicated or anything, it’s really just a best friends to lovers, unrequited to requited love story. I liked the fact that they got together pretty early and the subsequent storyline followed their challenges.
There’s a super unnecessary breakup but after they get back together they give the viewer enough time to enjoy the sweetness again.
I hate the OST. If I hear “you’re my rabbit” one my time I’m committing a war crime.
This show was literally like a Taiwanese BL reunion lol. We had the leads from Be Loved In House: I Do, one of the leads from History 4, and the leads from MODC reuniting lol. I’m sure there were some others as well that I missed. I don’t know what strings they had to pull to get them all together but kudos. The MODC reunion made me tear up lol (this is the second show they’ve reappeared in together).
The leads have great chemistry. I liked the side pairing as well.
Overall, it’s a recommend from me.

The camera angle shots look too realistic for unrealistic scenes
This series has a fantastic storyline matched with decent relationship development and great main leads' background profile. This series kinda brings back my memories while I was watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo (Korean drama in the same Law-firm setting). The only difference is that the cases in EAW have a more detailed case-to-case scenarios. What I like in Plus & Minus is that they used the cases to have a more in-depth understanding of love. Also, I was super late and surprised that Taiwan accepts same-sex marriage. I really appreciated the last episode especially when the H3:MODC main couple appeared as guests.The only misstep in the plots is Fu Li Kung's heartbreaking decision. Like wtf??? How can you come up with that? Can't you feel his happiness at all? Other than that, I enjoyed watching this series. The good-mood soundtracks are really catchy. Also, the fake kissing scenes looked way too good that your eyes will deceive you romantically. The appeal of the main leads is average only but they have a sweet chemistry.
Very watchable. I was surprised that it has only 7.6 overall rating. Deserves a little bit higher rating. Not as solid as my top favorites but I like it a lot. It sits at the upper half of my watched BL dramas (you can check my list at my profile for reference. as of now, it's top 23 out of 88).

Plus or a Minus
As expected, a relationship goes through a rollercoaster of ups and downs but the show remains rather predictable at most turns with family and relationship drama. I would say that the first half of the series was more watchable than the second half, where the conflict proved to be silly and frustrating.Until it wasn't. First, the secondary couple looked like it might be interesting at first, but it was a dreary slog, with very dull acting and an uninteresting story.
It definitely lacked chemistry and spiciness the scenes they create make the viewers lose interest, from exciting to boring, it lacks drama...
Overall it is a + - to watch this drama..

Average overall
At first I started to watch this series with much excitement cause it had a storyline similar to 'Don't Say No' . It started of well but then slowly slowly the episodes started to just downgrade. I mean I like the actors and their acting was good. But the story just didn't help the drama. It in fact made the drama overall worse. The last episode tried to pull up to a happy ending but was full of cheesiness. And the last thing, the child actor who played Lin Lin was the worst choice.P.S. I am sorry if I was rude anyhow.

Strong beginning, now slow burn...
I had high hopes for yet another Taiwanese BL series...HiStory, We Best Love...and I am not sure how I feel about this series. The story about two lawyers, a shy laundromat owner and a bar tender, with a yet unexplained sad bar owner had great potential...but it starts to look like an adaptation of Thai tropes, including the "deer cought in the head lights" kiss...the actors are good, the chemistry is undeniable, the story is about mature, working adults, but it slowed down too much to hold my interest. I have no intention to drop the series, I still really like it, but I sincerely hope for the next episodes to pick up speed.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Plus and Minus will make your day
Many commented negativity on the series cause of episode 9 to 11. Yet I see nothing wrong with plus and Minus. If you are looking for an angsty story of friends turned lovers, of family crises and love you have come to the right place. Fu and Zhao are not out to impress anyone because they already impress everyone. The story revolves round them and their love. Any additional plots or subplots don't bother me. Like I said if you want something that's plain simple and doesn't confuse you like Triage here's the Bl series you will enjoy. Thanks ?. The second couple are also dazzling Brother Yuki is truly a genius how he pulls his lover out of his old fashioned way is worth not noting . Xue is a good sister you will find her funny but also dedicated to her familyEDIT: HAVE FINISHED WATCHING IT, I CERTAINLY WILL NEVER FORGET THIS POWERFUL SERIES. IT TAUGHT ME A LOT ON ISSUES OF LOVE

It went beyond my expectations 10/10!
Love everything so far. Could watch till the 9th episode since there hasn’t been more eps available. Can’t wait to see the rest. The actors are very on point with their characters and both pairs have great chemistry together. The family dynamic all amazed me. There were parts were I couldn’t contain my tears from how well they all portrayed the emotional scenes. Also the funny scenes… hilarious. Hope this series gains more recognition now that’s is airing. They deserved it. Thank you for making this series.I enjoyed it very much!!!

Mid af
I have no idea how I sat through nine episodes of the most uninteresting show I’ve ever watched. I also have no idea how anyone can rate this show higher than a 3. We’ve seen this trope 9 million times, and the writers didn’t even try to add anything new to at least make the show special. The main couple had 0 chemistry and the second couple were so fawking boring, it was a pain to watch them on screen. The music kinda pissed me off a lil as well, but that’s just my personal preference. All in all, this show was too mid for y’all to be raving about it the way you are.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Lack of spiciness!!!
Although this series is ongoing I will give my review now.So the story is about two lawyers who have been together since childhood and will soon fall in love. This series also depicts real-life situations in divorce, such as small fights between couples, domestic violence, etc., and their life revolves around divorce lawyers, friends,s and being a couple.
The second couple is a bartender and a laundromat owner (a divorced man with a daughter). their story will revolve between them and the daughter.
throughout the released episode I sense awkwardness between the couples, especially the second lead. The chemistry is not that strong but still the visual supports their chemistry.
Why lack of spiciness????
The story is exciting but the scenes they create make the viewers lose interest, from exciting to boring, it lacks drama...
With 3 upcoming episodes, let's hope that we can see improvement in the story.
P.S- I love the cameo of "Belove in house: Ido"

Strange and boring
The two ML's are both very good looking, one looks a bit like a vampire, but other than that he was still good eye candy. I can't think of anything else good to say about this drama, it is just boring!Nothing really happens, it is just a very predictable and generic BL drama that as been made many times before but better.
The other couples storyline was even more stupid than the ML's, when they all went camping together I started to lose the will to live so I decided to drop the drama before I got a rope and a chair.
I already know how it will end because its just a regurgitated storyline on a smaller budget with worse actors

It was hard to watch
It started okay, I liked the main couple, the concept of plus and minus... they are cute together. The thing is: the kisses are really bad. They ugly kiss everytime, like, they open their mouths very widely before even touching lips. It breaks the romantic moments for me, sorry. Not to mention that the secondary couple doesn't match AT ALL, the long hair guy is so cool and pretty and his boyfriend is so awkward and BORING. I mean they could match with this features if they had at least some chemistry but they don't. I hate this couple and their kisses also suck. There's this female character that I really liked but they found a way of making her annoying too so I gave up. I didn't mean to be this harsh when I decided to write about this, but just remembering it makes me uncomfortable lol. The songs are terrible too lmaooo i hate every song in this series.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
