I Loved It and Didn't See It Coming

A series I had no expectations for, but exceeded them in every way and might actually be my favourite GMMTV show of 2026. For starters, it's not a BL and doesn't fit into any specific category for that matter, but it does include queer elements and leaves some aspects to each viewer's interpretation. The story on its own is not groundbreaking, but it still succeeds due to how well put together and in harmony all its elements are. Despite being short, it delves deeply into its characters and their inner struggles, while tackling questions regarding life itself.

Acting-wise, it was great. Sky and Nani, whether it was a dramatic scene or a more light-hearted one, they delivered their parts naturally, and their characters' bond was the heart and soul of the series. Being my first experience with both of them as a duo, I got really impressed by their acting skills, especially at the more emotionally and physically demanding scenes. Credit needs to be given, though, to the supporting cast as well, especially to Krist who gave an excellent and memorable performance, very different from the roles he is usually cast in.

Musically speaking, the osts were beautiful and fitting for each scene, but the original score composed specifically for this show is pure magic and a key element that defines its identity.

Overall, I do recommend this series to fans of the genre and anyone who is curious enough. The story might feature fantasy and action, but at its core it has a lot of heart that will make you care, connect and root for these characters. Admittedly, I feel a universe as vast and rich in lore as Wu's could support more episodes --even a second season-- to further explore certain parts or characters of the story, but even so, it already is a worthwhile journey, I would gladly take again.
