Lost to You

Two Broken Souls, One Heartbreaking Journey This BL Deserves More Attention Than It Gets 10/10

So many good Chinese BLs are airing lately, and I came across this series on GagaOOLala. Gosh, it did not disappoint at all. At first, I expected a simple high school romance, but this drama is so much darker, emotional, and thrilling than I imagined. It honestly deserves way more attention.

I honestly don’t understand how some Thai BLs get so much attention when the plot is weak, the acting feels cringe, and the story goes nowhere. Meanwhile, Lost to You is genuinely one of the best series I’ve watched recently, yet it remains so underrated.

The story follows Zhan Wang, a rich teenager who returns to his hometown while secretly carrying a terminal illness, and Xu Yuan, a hardworking top student struggling to support his family while being treated like a jinx by the entire town. Their personalities clash at the beginning, but watching their relationship slowly grow felt so natural and emotional without being overly dramatic.

What really makes this series stand out is the atmosphere and emotional depth. The plot keeps you invested without revealing too much too quickly, and every episode carries this heavy emotional tension that makes it hard to stop watching. This series completely broke me and had me crying so much. The way the emotions slowly build and make you attached to the characters feels so real and natural.

Every scene feels meaningful, and the pain, love, and struggles of the characters stay with you even after the episode ends. The fighting scenes were surprisingly well done, the soundtrack fit perfectly with the mood, and the acting from both leads was excellent.

It is rare to find a BL where the plot itself is this strong while also delivering such emotional impact. China once again proves how strong their BL storytelling can be, especially when mixing romance with darker themes and emotional depth. Everything about this series worked for me, the chemistry, the cinematography, the music, and the heartbreaking yet beautiful story.

Another easy 10/10 for me. Definitely a must-watch for BL fans because Lost to You deserves so much more recognition. This is the kind of series that reminds you how powerful storytelling can be.

What was the finale?

While I watched the show, it was the typical stuff I expected from such a show. We had the evil dad, who turns out to be gay in the finale, we have misunderstandings and we have even two gay and one lesbian couple... And because any show needs drama, we have the bullying. So far, so good.

But the finale... WTF? The both stand of the rocks and watch the broken up comet which were toooooo far away to have any impact directly, but of course could have made a tsunami is they would have hit water. Normally they should have the comet up their faces and then ok, they both die - for what is the question? Xu giving in so willingly did also not make much sense. When you are already out, you should not care about others anymore. Period.

So for me, the finale did ruin the whole series, because for me it makes no sense whatsoever. Dad being outed as being gay came too late, that would have had more impact if we had seen his past also. That he then turned 180 degrees also makes no sense. When you are in denial for DECADES, you do not change over night, It would have made more sense, when Wang had beaten him up about it, but no. But I guess they did not think about that or they run out of time (and budget) becauase they wasted it through the whole story. The series did have it's lengths, they could have compacted the story and put in some other focus like the dad to have much more impact.

And because the finale ruins everything I don't get the high praise from some reviews... what is wrong with you people? While the acting of the MLs was fine, the acting of the side couple was weak. They did not feel natural in the series, but when you see them in private they have the chemistry which is missing in this series. Production quality was also fine, but that can't save any series. Because of all the factors I deducted my rating heavily... it could have been a 7.5 with a proper finale, but this felt rushed and imprudent. And I don't like it.

Tragic but so good

So far I’m loving this so much. like I know it’s gonna get sadder but for now I’m loving the characters! whoever did the castings thank you cause omg the Main leads are killing it. also with the second episode are we possibly getting a hint that the brother/doctor is gonna be the 2nd lead couple with the other guy. I was a bit iffy till I remember in the dialogue that he is a senior that got held back so if I do that math he should be 18/19 which is legal. so far I’m loving this but omg like wdym he’s probably gonna die soon due to the tumor like😭 and then all the scenes with his grandma make me tear up like this poor kid. but on the radio in that scene where he is in the car and then he puts his headphones on, we hear that what was being said is that meteors hitting earth in 3 months and I remember there’s a scene in the intro where there standing apart with what looks like to be meteors crashing down so is this gonna be even more tragic😭😭 They really said the fatal brain cancer plot wasn’t enough so let’s add in the end of the world trope like what🥲🥲 so far there only two episodes out at the time of my review so who knows what’s in it for this drama but I will say I’m loving it so much and I need more! like this is definitely a drama I will be watching every time an episode drop even though it might get really sad…..

I just couldn't.....

No matter how I tried, I just couldn't get past how choppy, nonsensical and boring this was. 12 episodes that basically lived on a loop for 10. The ending, the tatooed butt thong and the father being gay. Make it make sense and maybe my opinion would change. I struggled through the last 3 episodes ending with a headache because of nothing having any impact to warrant this.

Were there any moments that were endearing? I can only think of one - When they were in the hospital room and he weepingly begged him to live for him.

I was blindly rooting for the second cp until they allowed an older ex teacher to kiss a younger student on the school compound infront of the entire school. Now, where is this acceptable? All sanity left the script at this point coupled with the revelation of the thong. Another thing that felt very unrealistic: older brother is gay, younger brother is gay, sister is a lesbian, father is gay. I was waiting to see if they'd make the mother surprise us, too.

Their acting skills were passible. The older brother's face had one emotion. Dead. The script existed just for shock value. In entirety, it was not horrible but it was too much for me to care that much about. Easily forgotten.

Good show, without the ending

In this serie, the storyline of Zhan Wang and Xu Yuan was my favorite, truly loved their chemistry, the slow build up of their relationship, ZW who went from arguing about his grandma house to doing everything to make XY life better, to make him believe that he isnt jinx as everyone claim, the tension between them felt sensual even when it was not, XY loved ZY a lot that he risked his life by making a wish in dangerous weather, i fecided to believe they both survived and living happily.

I didn't care about the sister and the ex fiancé after the girlie outed ZW's brother, i couldn't look past that.

The abusive dad deserves hell, him turning out to be gay wasn't surprising to me at all, smh, ill ignore bs writing of last ep.

Overall this was a nice watch

Good show, not so good ending

I started this series blindly and it quickly became a fave. I was always looking forward to this series every week but the last few episodes and the ending were disappointing. I usually don't mind open endings but this just feels like the writers didn't know what to do and just finished it randomly...
Positives
-Interesting story
-Interesting characters
-good acting and chemistry
-beautiful cinematography
Negatives
-Unfinished ending
-poor execution in last 3 eps
-Comet and dad storyline were handled poorly and the comet one just unnecessary
-uninteresting 2nd couple (imo) and would've preferred more time with the main
All in all I liked it but i ended up a bit dissapointed.

Crappy ending!

This was one of the best BL dramas i have seen, but that ending was one of the worst i have ever seen!
This story was very good and very well executed by the actors and production. It had beautiful visuals and music.
I loved the lines the couples said at the beginning of each episode.
The tattoo scene was a bit unrealistic but still beautifull.

The main couple had great chemistry, the kisses and NC scenes were very good.
The second couple had good chemistry and good kisses and NC scene.
And we even got a bit of GL as a bonus. No kisses, but clearly a couple.

The ending was awfull.
My interpretation of the ending is: they died. And the end clip means, you make your own luck instead of wishing for it.
But that was one of the most crappy endings i have ever seen....
I'd rather have seen them die being together and telling how they love each other than this...

I do recommend watching this amazing series, but just keep in mind that you will be mad ad the last 5 minutes.

It works but the ending was trash

I started this drama without much expectations, mainly out of boredom. But here's my review anyways
It started with Zhang Wang coming back to Hong Town after a long while because he was diagnosed with a tumor and he wanted to visit his grandma one last time before he died and he met this kid who lived in his grandma's house. He grew hatred for him but still cared about him, Typical enemies to lovers.
I have to admit it was a low budget show, the kisses were totally rubbish and the so called ''spicy scenes'' were a mess. It's a bit cliché and cringe but it works. I guess it was something to look forward to. The last episode was kinda disappointing. Anyways it was okay in all but I will never rewatch it. It had great potential but oh well 🤷

Lost Potential

I waited every week for this show with great anticipation. Then came the finale. What even was that?!? The twist about the dad made complete sense but the way he did a complete 180 so quickly made absolutely NO sense. It was at this moment that I KNEW the rest of the plot was going to seem rushed. Unfortunatelu, I was wrong because nothing was rushed, because nothing was wrapped up. None of the major plot points were completed and honestly I feel no type of satisfaction from the finale at all. I actually thought I accidentally skipped back to a previous episode they way the scene changed up and then the episode just ended. It didn’t even leave me anticipating a second season if I’m being honest, which is hard to do because I pretty much want a second season of every BL I ever watch. Maybe my opinion will change later after I’ve had more time to digest it all but the more I continue to write now, the more disappointed I become.

This Drama Broke Me Before It Even Ended… Hats Off to the Madness of Chinese BL!

I’m honestly scared… I feel genuinely depressed just thinking about the ending of this ICONIC drama. I’m completely obsessed with it right now—like, I can’t get enough.

The plot, for the most part, is solid if you overlook a few minor flaws, and overall, it was absolutely worth watching. But at this point, I don’t think I can handle a sad ending… not after everything it has already put me through.

From the very beginning, this drama has been emotionally overwhelming. It made me cry in so many scenes that I lost count. Watching two pure souls suffer because of such a judgmental world was just heartbreaking. And yet, somehow, the bond they built through all those hardships feels even deeper, even more real.

Relationships forged through pain just hit differently…

Overall, I truly loved it. It was an unforgettable experience—such a GREAT watch, honestly. ✨💔
