I've never needed to hear you say you love me
The notion of expressing your love through more than words holds just as much, sometimes more, meaning than saying the words I love you. These thirteen episodes were a brilliant representation of that.
Romance can be plot driven, but more often than not it is character driven, through and through. The character writing and development gets a perfect, beyond perfect score from me. Often we see two flawed characters help each other grow, but it was so pleasantly surprising to see two characters, one who is seemingly imperfect and in his and many other's opinion, useless and another who is seemingly perfect, seen as strong and invulnérable by everyone around him, help each other grow out of the boxes they've set for themselves.
Because love can mean seeing the best in someone, but also getting to see someone in their worst moments.
It was refreshing to see Zi Xiang push himself, better himself, and at the same time see Shao Pang realize that he does not need to be strong and happy all the time. The two of them helped each other grow into more vulnerable yet fulfilled versions of themselves and I loved watching them just communicate through all the issues that cropped up along the way, because thankfully, misunderstandings can actually be solved by good communication.
The second couple were interesting as well, they complemented each other's energy very well and provided each other with what I think the other person was looking for, one for safety and comfort, another for someone to match his energy, someone solid and persevering.
The plot was a little uneven at times, but for the most part was very well written. The plot points about discrimination in the workplace based on disabilities and the conversation surrounding the 'normalcy' of disabilities were especially poignant, relevant and well written. Since it was mostly a character and romance driven plot, the chemistry between the leads would be the focal point to get it to work, and yes, the chemistry was flawless.
Overall, it was an incredibly sweet and genuine love story that had me crying more times than I anticipated I would because their story genuinely moved me. So many moments that made me sigh in happiness, so many that caused me to hold back a choke or two just witnessing how happy the two of them were. Be prepared for a ton of emotions and go for it.
