Great but the ending is rushed
If you’re looking for lots of skin from a BL then this one is not for you. If you’re looking for great chemistry and plot then this is probably right up your street.
The story follows two young neighbours who hold each other in high esteem who get separated by circumstance when Theo is shipped off to live with his grandmother in Paris leaving his best friend Akk behind.
They meet again years later when Theo’s grandmother dies and they immediately strike up a friendship with unrequited undertones of desire and love.
Theo selects a book that he’s read and makes a comment in one of the blank back pages and over time the two investigate who responds to the comment that he wrote. We meet 4 other main support characters who all profess to be Enchante, the person who responded to the comment that he left. We also find out the reasoning behind them lying and telling Theo that they are the person he is looking for.
The ending was a very frustrating as it is very rushed- we don’t really get closure for the 4 pretenders nor is the reason why Theo decides to break Akk’s heart particularly believable either (but they are reunited).
The production values excellent even though the now famous home from Cutie Pie (as well as a couple of other BLs I have watched) appears yet again!
The chemistry between Theo and Akk is so believable and had me smiling like a loon in some of the scenes where they’re rough housing.
The other actors are also very good (and rather pleasing on the eye which is a bonus) and add depth and substance to this drama.
Would I watch again? Probably not but that doesn’t stop this from being a great little drama and one worth a higher rating than given on this platform.
