When the movie surpasses the series!!!!
Disclaimer: This is a resubmission of my original review to match my current writing style for BL series that were edited into a movie version.
The series/movie: Overall, this was a beautiful and heartwarming story. The script was wonderful and not overly dramatic. It also reviled the ugly truth about the music industry on how it views their artist as products and not as humans. However, the main problem with the series version is it feels incomplete due to a lot of missing content. As for the actors, all of them did an incredible job. The music was great which is good considering this is about the music industry. They also did a good job with the music placement throughout the series/movie. The cinematography was beautiful.
The movie: They did a great job editing the episodes into one cohesive movie. As for the content, this is another great example of why editing is important. The series version suffered from very poor editing. The movie version has a lot of extra scenes which added so much to the story. It also helped make the conflict scenario introduce towards the end not seem random. There were a few scene placements that were changed and some scenes cut short.
Random note:
A strongly recommend watching the movie version!!!! There is about 15 extra scenes in the movie that the series does not have. I’m very puzzled on their decision with not including all the extra scenes.
I watched this on Netflix when it was still available in the U.S. (it was listed as Wish You) not knowing this was a BL series turned into a movie. It is a shame that it’s no longer available in the U.S. because the English subtitles were better.
