Like Love is a BL drama that focuses on how two boys fall in love, but their family and even the people around them could not see them together. An Zi Yan and Mai Ding met in the college. It was during their military training.
They spent time with each other and developed a great bond. Over time, they both had fallen in love with each other and had developed a “romantic relationship” by acknowledging their “romantic feelings”. They started having some troubles and issues in their relationship like any other couple.
But Zi Yan’s sister had decided that she would do whatever it took to break their relationship. Apparently, she was of the thought that two men could not be there. The other college mates also contributed to his sister’s efforts. It is so homophobic of his sister to think this way in today’s world.
