Drama that speaks to the soul!
Finally, a Chinese BL that doesn’t end in tragedy and where we don't have to rely on scrutinizing micro-expressions to hint at romance. It’s right there, clear and unapologetic and I am here for it.
This drama had that charming indie vibe, short episodes, yes, but the emotional impact is massive. It proves that we don’t need a massive budget or big name studios to tell a good story. In fact, this one outshines a lot of mainstream BLs by a mile.
From the acting to the cinematography to the storytelling, everything feels intentional and intimate. There was heart in every frame and not once did it feel like it was holding back. I came in with cautious expectations, but I walked away genuinely impressed and honestly, a little moved.
The storyline itself isn’t anything particularly new. We have seen similar concepts before. But the way it was told here made all the difference. There was a quiet honesty in the execution that made it feel fresh, even if the idea wasn’t original. Sure, it could have been a bit more coherent in parts and maybe longer episodes would have helped the pacing and clarity. But given the production scale, it still managed to deliver something heartfelt. It knew what it wanted to say AND IT SAID IT WELL.
The cinematography is a quiet masterpiece on its own. It's deeply connected to nature, painting the drama in soft greens and in those warm earthy tones. The countryside setting is more than just a backdrop here, it feels like a character in itself. Tall green trees, birds chirping in the background, piles of fallen leaves on the ground, winding little roads, and calm water bodies with unexpected rains, it all felt like a breath of fresh air.
It’s the kind of visual storytelling that doesn't scream for attention but they get stuck with you in the best way.
On the acting part, everything felt natural, sometimes even a little chaotic, but in a way that fit their characters perfectly. It didn’t feel overly rehearsed or forced, which made the emotions hit even harder. You can tell it probably took a lot of courage from the actors to bring these roles to life and I am not here to nitpick because honestly, what they delivered on screen felt real and more than enough to carry the story.
Overall, this is the kind of BL I have been waiting for and asking for, real and refreshingly sincere. It may not be perfect but somehow it is!
I would 100% recommend this. The full series is on YouTube, so please watch it there and support the team directly. I will be sharing the channel link in the comments of my review.
