This drama was an absolute masterpiece. I genuinely can’t find a single fault in it. Everything—from the acting to the story to the cinematography—felt intentional, nuanced, and deeply moving.
Tontae was my main reason for watching, having adored him in Venus in the Sky. And my god, he did not disappoint. His performance here was raw, layered, and heartbreakingly believable. Every glance, every pause, every emotional beat landed perfectly.
The story itself was rich with symbolism, each visual and dialogue choice adding deeper meaning to the central romance. And then there’s the most special part for me—the Hsia twins. I’ve known them since HIStory 3: Make Our Days Count, and seeing them here alongside Tontae felt like such a gift.
The slow burn romance was immaculate. It didn’t feel staged or exaggerated—it was like watching two real people slowly, quietly, inevitably fall for each other. The chemistry was understated yet magnetic, pulling you in without fanfare.
And then… the ending. I had a feeling it was coming, but when it hit, it still gutted me. I am a shameless sucker for sad endings, and this one was bittersweet perfection—lingering in my mind long after the credits rolled.
A rare BL that manages to be both poetic and emotionally devastating in the best way possible.
