This was written by a woman and it's sooo refreshing!!! I am from an European country where women are used to have a lot of freedom and our society is not as sexist or judgmental when it comes to women being single or relationships, so when I started watching kdramas and cdramas it was very hard at the beginning getting used to the barbaric judgment women suffer in those type of patriarchal societies.

Scripts are often completely offensive to women and patronizing if you will, repeating constantly how women are weak, need men, need to worry only about being beautiful and thin, can't be single and need to have children to dedicate their life to their family...it is painful but eventually you get used to these dramas.

But lately there has been a new trend and there's more and more feminist dramas, with strong, independent female characters and I am all for it.

Nothing but you is a clear example of this trend. Amazing female characters who are living their best life ( whatever their choice is) and never being a shadow of the men in their lives.

The series tells a mature love story with no cliches and very little drama or angst.

I enjoyed very much the chemistry the leads have, and every single character has layers and a well developed personality.

The sports plot is a bit more cliché and we have seen it many times before, so It did become a bit draggy for me, hence my 8 rating.

Overall very interesting and enjoyable and not too long.
