Only Side By Side With You comes and goes after three short weeks to finale with episode 40 tonight. Although the same can’t be said of its tv ratings which can be described as lackluster through most of its run, the show has had a glistening performance online. It has topped daily web rankings for 20 consecutive days and recently crossed 4.5 billion views.
I find the latest batch of stills so cute with the lovey-dovey couple and the dogs! There’s also a disapproving father it seems, but probably nothing our main couple can’t overcome. I find William Chan and Bai Bai He very well-matched from the beginning though I still haven’t gotten very far with the series. Are you tuning in for the finale?

they look good together and appear to have chemistry. it's just that the story is so bland and tons of flashback in every episode that makes it very boring. watching if you like to see william chan becing suave and cool.. lol

I need to comment more. I love your site. I actually fell in love with the series from the book. Only Side By Side probably was a casualty because they took out a lot of the love scenes, conflict, and more detailed things on the backstory. The censorship probably. It was beautiful seeing the intimacy and emotion portrayed. For many you want the love scenes and everything .Too much talking and no sexy time. It's also about Drones. To have a woman and man so passionate about rescuing and protecting. That's a yes in my eyes. I don't know about others. Excited for the finale even if it's different from the book. It's been an exciting ride.

Always good to see women passionate about their work, creating their own company ..
I find that usually in drama, the work context disappears after the protagonists have been situated, but this is not the case here (at least for her).
You can also see Li Xiang in Tientsin mystic (if you like zombies), he has a better script to play with

Thanks and appreciate your comments. I like the heroine too. It's my first time seeing Bai Bai He in anything and she's generally known to be a good actress. I'm like the commenter above tho, tuning in to see William Chan acting cool and I'm watching at snail pace since the story didn't strike me as anything out of ordinary.
Maybe it does help to have the backstory from the novel… I wish I read novels haha Feel lacking reporting this novel-turned-dramas when I actually haven't read the novels. Your book knowledge is very welcome. Please definitely comment more:)

I like what you said about the female lead character who actually cares about her career in a romantic drama. That makes me want to watch this now!
