I’m partial to historical C dramas mainly because the modern ones are ridiculously tropey. The male leads are either CEOs, doctors, or e-sports players while the female leads are dimwitted, cutsey waifs who are struggling to survive. The plots aren’t that deep either. Mostly, the dramas rely on idol actors to ganer ratings. The Xu Kais, Wang Yibo, and their peers populate this genre which of course is the reason most are popular.

Intense Love is fluffy. The plot is asinine and watching the acting will make you wonder who greenlit this mess.

I stopped at episode 21 (of 24) cos my brain was melting. Watch if none of the above bother you.
