- tension/chemistry
- countryside vistas
Room For Improvement
- do not care at all for the second couple

I KNEW IT
Bro, while I was watching the show, I kept getting flashbacks to another BL about Litchi and Summer. Lo and behold, when I checked the show's IMDb, it had the same director! They have such a specific style that I recognized it instantly. You know you have a clear artistic vision when it can be recognized across multiple pieces.Gorgeous cinematography, love the actors, AND no dubbing! No hate to the teams that do dubbing, but hearing the raw coughing, sniffing, and breathing is so refreshing.
The official reaction videos with the actors are an absolute MUST-WATCH too. They offer so much insight into the show, the characters' choices, and the symbolism that can easily go over an international audience's head. Also, I have to thank the person doing the subtitles because they're genuinely hilarious.
