A series that goes beyond the “BL category.”
Best BL of the year. And I can safely say it’s one of the best BLs of all time! It’s a series that talks about the philosophy of life, death, and nature. It also touches on important issues such as homophobia, internet culture — including cancel culture and shipping culture — and the pressure within the audiovisual industry. On top of that, it has a very well-written plot, wonderful performances, extraordinary chemistry between the main couple, splendid cinematography, and a soundtrack that doesn’t disappoint.It’s a work that requires a little patience, as it has a slow, detail-rich pace, but in the end it’s all worth it. It’s a series you’ll want to rewatch several times to pick up on all the details. And anyone who liked Your Name Engraved Herein by Kuang-Hui Liu and Happy Together by Wong Kar-Wai will definitely fall in love with A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills’ Dream, as it’s on the same production level as those two great works.
I also want to mention that one of the series’ greatest strengths is the way writer/director Zelia managed to address important themes masterfully and gave me great lessons about the cycle of life. I’m eager to follow her future projects.
And for anyone who loves a happy ending, you won’t be disappointed. Yes, it has a happy ending! ❤️
