Now this is what I call an A plus production. Yes it is a bl but it ranks right up with any of the best well written, well directed, well produced action series. The acting is on point. From start to finish it has had my attention. The side couples are an added treat.
I'm gonna give this a try. honestly I wish to see Earth in different more mature roles soon... even Fluke managed…
I understand. I have always been a big fan of Earth. I also feel he has the talent to handle more mature roles. Until then I am just happy to see him in another series. The last one I can think of was My Only 12% in which I thought he was his usual awesome self.
Finally….I have missed Earth….great start…it had me at the very first scene! Love the cast….Pond is always a treat! Thursdays are going to be so much fun!
Really enjoyed ep 11 and how honestly both were eventually able to acknowledge their pain and their true expectations. Love that God and Diew each have that friend they can confide in . The way their friends are so protective was fun .
I just stumbled upon this gem. I was immediately hooked. I have often what happens to the souls of the dead. This adds another layer to the puzzle and it is done in such a compassionate and thoughtful manner. The acting is outstanding. You are caught up in the intrigue and before you know it you are hoping the bodies are recovered and their souls released. You hope both the living and the dead will finally get the closure they deserve. Hopefully I will get to see Season 2 before the series is removed from Netflix permanently.
yes the ending was beautiful made but it leave you empty you know they did that thing that they do in most drama…
Lol actually that sentence makes me smile and feel good. If there was no rely I might feel a bit sad but the yes is reassuing to me…to me it means all is not over…no one is in a coma, no one has been shipped abroad, they are still in the same school but just in different classrooms so I am good.
I know I am in the minority here but I actually loved this ending. Some of you may have read my previous comments and know how reluctant I was to watch the last two episodes. I hate sad endings and open endings. But I decided to watch the last two episodes and I am so glad I did. For me this was not a sad ending but one of hope and actually a major turn in Tian and Sheng’s relationship. Without saying a word they know their relationship has reached a new level. Watching each one grapple with these new feelings for each other has been such a profound and beautiful experience. There is so much poetic symbolism in this last episode …..the plants, water, the string bracelet, the way Tian is always attentive to Sheng’s needs, how Sheng knows intuitively what Tian is thinking/feeling. So beautifully written. The ending words and glass of water….Tian will wait for Sheng …..only Sheng will occupy his seat/his heart…and Sheng will come back. Wow….this is the essence of true love for me. This ending is so much better than the ones in Addicted and Stay With Me. I was angry and upset at how they ended. This one is more in line with the endings of I Told Sunset About You and Young Royals. I am not mad or sad. I am happy for the two of them. They are seventeen and these feelings represent new birth and new beginnings. That is also reflected in the way the two male teachers have come full circle in finally acknowledging their true feelings for one another. The absence of the female teacher is significant. It has never been about her. It has always been about each of them and their reluctance to verbalize their true feelings. It is clearly a statement about the way societal norms and feelings about same sex relationships still restrains and constrains individuals from acting on what they feel. As much as we would like to think that society has changed for many countries same sex relationships are still looked upon with disapproval and disdain. Even in my own country there are still fears that the clock will be reset and the freedom that is enjoyed now will be taken away. I applaud the entire cast and the writers and everyone involved on a really awesome journey. Hopefully, there will be an official announcement of Season 2 and the retention of the same cast, especially Liu Dong Qin and Benjamin Tsang. Until then, this definitely goes on my rewatch list. Take care..
I hate when we go through an avalanche of emotions only to get to the end and everything comes crashing down. It’s personal with me. I dont do sad endings. I wont rate a great series down but it wont go on my rewatch list. That said, it’s time for me to rewatch 4Minutes, Last Twilight and Moonlight Chicken. Looking for an awesome bl check out Jack and Joker.
Your comments are right on point! This is why I had to stop watching after ep 4. The cast is doing an awesome…
Thank you. I sometimes hesitate to respond with personal references but this really hit home and for those who might feel the writers were being a bit over the top I just had to let it be jnown that they are to be commended for their authenticity. Again thank you. Take care
I keep getting Stay With Me vibes so for me ep 10 is the happy ending I wanted. If and when there is a season 2 I will see you then. No need to worry about the 2nd couple. It is obvious they will be together. Take care.
What makes this series work, is that in so many countries all over the world, there are people living on the fringe…
Your comments are right on point! This is why I had to stop watching after ep 4. The cast is doing an awesome job at depicting this sad, seedy side of life. You are right…it is not just a matter of walking out the door! I had a childhood friend who got caught up in this life! My father actually recognized her on the street and tried to get to her. She got a glimpse of him and ran away. Weeks later I got a call. She was speaking in a hushed tone. She sounded scared. I knew it was her. Before I could get any information I heard a man’s voice cursing in the background. Then the phone went dead. I told my parents who contacted her grandmother. We never heard or saw her again. I can understand why people may be turned off but in my opinion this is a story that needed to be told. The writing, the acting, the cinematography and directing have been on point. I really dont see a happy ending but maybe it will have an ending similar to No Regret.
I just finished this and it is definitely one of the best kdramas I have watched. It had a stellar cast. The actress playing the Jade Emperor should have been given main role billing. I love how the relationship between Goo Ryun and Joong Gil was uncovered. I wish they would have had a Season 2. Even the grim reaper from hell provided an extra layer of action. And I love the conclusion. Choi Woon is not done using his grim reaper skills.
This has been a wonderful ride. I only hope that it will end on a happy note and not like the atrocious endings of Addicted and Stay With Me. Just a confession of love and a hug will do it for me. As far as the teachers go short of the two male teachers wrapping a rainbow flag around each other I dont know what else Jenny needs to see to know that ship has already sailed. Lol.
This is such a thought provoking and emotional series. The warnings preceding the series are understandable and clearly warranted. The stories are told in a very graphic way which can be very chilling and traumatic. But the way in which the storyline unfolds is done in such a respectful and heartfelt manner that to me the most suitable word is thought provoking. It reminds us just how fragile we are and how outer appearances are deceiving. For some this may be too much emotionally. Even I had to strongly consider if I should watch. I am halfway through and plan on watching until the end. We think little about talking about cancer and other types of illnesses but there is still a stigma attached to mental illness and suicide. This is one way of bringing attention to these subject areas. We are all affected in one way or another. Take care.
I can tolerate just about anything but what irritates me the most is a female who whines and cant take no for an answer. I dont care if it is a bl or not.

unashamedly biased! Maybe they just wanted to do something fun!
