Between Love and Duty, Which Would You Choose?
Out of all the BL I have ever watched, I finally dare call one them of my absolute favorite; and that is, of course, The Edge of Horizon.
This series tells a forbidden love story, whether it's forbidden because of status or because of them loving the same gender. That's one of the things I love about same-sex love stories: They are extra forbidden.
Now, usually I get bored quickly after the main couple gets together, but here, they don't get together long enough for me to get bored; there always has to arise a problem to make them separate once again.
This story has a lot of crying and very little laughing, it's full of tragedy but also growth, and though it made me feel very distressed at times, it was too good for me drop it.
You feel the dilemma of the characters fighting between love and what they believe is right, and you can't blame them for any choice they choose to make.
Inn and Ongsa's acting's are amazing, you can feel every emotion they try to convey. And I'm especially surprised at Ongsa, seeing how incredibly young he is! And though it was probably very hard for them, having to cry so much, they did it very well.
All the characters here have meaning, none of them feel like a background character; they all have their own story.
The main song is sung by the main actor Ongsa himself, and his voice is like honey to the ears, very sweet.
A lot of scenes have very beautiful lighting (The car scene, for example), and the pacing is very understandable and makes you want more.
The streets, the cars, the clothes, all immersed you in that era, and there was no scene that felt too modern.
This series made me want to watch more angsty historical same-sex romance, though there isn't much, really.
I hope the success of this series soars, and everyone who can, will watch it.
I loved it all, the acting, the plot, the music, the cinematography, the directing, everything.
I couldn't help myself so I watched the last episode on the One31 live online channel, but I won't count it until I watch the uncut version.
Please, if you're thinking of watching this, give it a chance, I believe you won't be disappointed.
