I was going to give this a better rating but the final episode let me down.
I've been around long enough to expect the bare minimum of happy endings from China. A majority are sad, and a few are very open ended, and only happy when it collabs with an outside country.
So for this series to have a sad ending isn't shocking or surprising. It's not even a bad thing - IF IT HAD BEEN DONE WELL.
I cannot fault the acting and chemistry. It was the whole glue of this series. The plot; minus unexplained issues, like the necklace, wasn't that bad.
How they ended it was the issue; nothing was explained, there was no plot twist, introduction of a character right at the end that overall had no impact whatsoever. The ending was predictable and frustrating. A full episode of flashback clips, it honestly served no purpose as it ended as simple as plot message; abandon/leave him or he dies. So he did.
Rewatching this in 2025, how I gave this 6 stars in 2023 is beyond me!
The writing and company seriously destroyed any chance this ship had of a decent series.
This was sooo badly written and produced and I've been watching BLs since 2004 so that says a lot! Whatever character growth they had in My Story was literally thrown in the trash this series 🙃
And I just found out the cast changed on the new BL they were supposed to be in (wonder if it's because Jer left Oxin though) but still, won't be watching that now.
I liked this series. Binged watched it. Good characters and a decent plot, messy in places and the crazy 10 year time jump but still madly in love was unrealistic. But still a good binge watch.
But why did I cry more over the phone call with Hyeonho than any other scene? 😂
Oh how I secretly rooted for him too 🤭 He's such a pretty crier aswell 😖 Why, at the end of a majority of KBLs, do I find myself loving the support charactors/couple more, and as always wishing they have spin offs 😂😂
I'm not paying £8,99 a month, to bad it sounds great!
The first ep is free. The rest will be released according. VIP (5.99) can watch the 2nd ep early. But if you pay for Premium (8.99) you can watch all 6 episides at once.
You don't have to pay, just wait it out until the episodes are released weekly for free.
I tried but it's ep9 and I still dislike Ming even more than ep1. His character development (if any) is too late for me to try and like him and want a happy ending for him. So sadly... I am out. I'm dropping the series, I'm not invested or care enough to suffer the last 3 episodes.
And let me add; I'm all for complex plots and characters but Ming is not even complex to me.
Up plays him brilliantly, I didn't like Lovely Writer but he's really improved his acting so much. Might add; too brilliantly that I don't like the character at all to watch 🤣 I do love Up as a person though so don't get twisted.

I rated low because despite great acting and production. I was confused 96% of the time, when I wasn't confused, it was great and could follow the plot. I enjoyed it overall, but rated low because a seroes shouldn't take that much brain power to not be confused 🤣

I'm sure a few movies turned series were able to change by someone editing the listing but I'll try submitting and entry. Thank you.
