More seasons or we riot!!!
Biggest selling point - bratty older shou X soft younger gong (even though they switch in the novel) Definition of grumpy x sunshine.New C-bls have officially redeemed themselves. More of this please.
Technical wise, it is good- cinematography, lighting, set design, colour grading & everything looks nice. The time period is supposed to be the 80's & the styling is spot on. The making is very stylized & light and dreamy, it adds spectacularly to the romantic interaction scenes of the leads. Mostly follows the novel & that works in favour. The ending was okay as a season finale but if there is no more seasons, it was abrupt and unsatisfying. The is a lot of plot holes left that can only be completed by the rest of the story.
The ML is the definition of tall, dark & handsome. I like that the makeup department kept it like that. Also the injuries look mostly authentic & not like smeared red paint. The MC is an absolute green flag. I love them both as characters& the actor's chemistry is off the charts. They are both down badism final bosses & we only got to see a glimpse of that. I really hope there is more because them as a couple was an absolute joy to read.
And my favourite; Lu GuangMing- the professional rage baiter. The second couple also have great dynamics.
The screenplay could use some work, the first episode was a little boring, but it picks up the pace after. The acting is good. The dubbing is off, which makes it look weird. Nevertheless this show is a must watch.

Such squandered potential yet the best Omegaverse so far.
Will forever be iconic for giving us the first on-screen omegaverse Mpreg.This had all the potential to be a game changer, but alas. Never in my life I thought I would be able to watch a fully fledged omegaverse (heat & mpreg & everything) live action, that too from china, but holy sh*t! The world is either ending or healing.
I really wanted it to be a masterpiece, but it falls short due to several factors. The writing is the major issue, especially in the latter half. No time to develop the most interesting aspects of the series. It should've had more episodes for a better cohesive end result. Don't even get me started on the ending, soo rushed & unsatisfying.
Acting is okay, the major plus is that they have all convincingly acted out the ABO aspects as it does not come across as jarring.
I'm pretty sure the makers did not expect everyone to love the second couple more than the first. They do have the more interesting dynamic despite having so little screen time.
A lot of people are confused about the ABOE thing & they should've explained it better.

Not 100% perfect, but close.
It's a happy ending! They proved me wrong, Hallelujah!The making quality and production value is very good, significantly better than typical GMM productions. Cinematography and lighting is also well done. The pace is slow, but picks up in the later episodes. The opening was great, the script and direction is also good. I love the symbolisms they used throughout, especially the one with Tanrak pressing the chamomile flowers given by Barth inside a Bible. It's filled with a lot of other metaphors. One of the problems is that the story doesn't feel like it was fully developed. The crisis needed to be deeper for the happy ending to truly feel profound. I wish they kept the tone of the pilot trailer.
How do I even express my love for Barth and Tanrak. One boy who lost his faith, and another who is wavering. In the end they find it through each other. I could write essays about the whole thing, but I urge you to watch it and understand on your own. The plot is simple, like a coming of age story. In the end it all boils down to Love is Love, and it is the most important of it all.
Another problem is that they do not look to be late 40's at all. Why a 30 year time lapse? There are some discrepancies if you look deep enough. But it doesn't take away from the beauty of this show.
The side characters are some of the nicest characters in fiction. This is how true followers of Christ are supposed to be. As much as love this, it feels a bit unrealistic.
In short, it is very good quality and very feel good with a touch of angst.
More series like this please.
