Red Flag Trope Cram session
Lemme save your brain from needing a good mentalbleaching.
1) Student/ Teacher
2) Child/ Adult
3) Half-Brothers
4) Rape and NonConsentual: Multiple times (A different couple)
5) You see all the human anatomy. All of it.
6) They hide the truth of their relationship until the very end. Which is the ONLY reason why I finished it. If I had known the truth, I would have never even attempted it. You THINK you’re watching a super artsy movie with a message waiting for you at the end… and then they smack you in the face with the truth and you want to take acid to your retinas because of the regret you feel from watching the depiction of so much wrongness. I feel lied to.
7) NO. Don’t do it. Just… No.
8) How did this get published for public viewing?
9) Did I mention it was awful? It’s awful.
10) The ACTORS do their job. They were great. Still… don’t do it. K? K. You’re Welcome.
Now go watch something lovely and fluffy. Like Moonlight Chicken or Reset or Your Sky.

Perfection.
This is my first review on MDL. Before watching this series, I’ve watched nearly 30+ series. Nothing, and I mean nothing, holds a candle to this.The story guides these two male leads and JimmySea deserve Oscar’s for their performances. Truly.
I slept on this show for so long, having been spoiled by the current NC scenes and the high tension between the “official” BL pairs. And believe me, they are incredible actors and I haven’t had a single BL I didn’t like.
But this, this is a masterpiece, even over Century Of Love and I think so highly of that one too.
This series is more than just a BL. It is an important story to humankind. To love naturally and fiercely no matter if it’s a partner, parent, sibling, friend, or stranger. To learn to be brave enough to let yourself grow. To see through someone else eyes and what that overly used phrase actually means. To the broken families of messy relationships, single moms that leave they deserve love, fathers that made good and bad decisions, and to siblings that overcome challenges that seem impossible. I hope that people of all walks of live in every aspect find this series and their eyes are opened by this love letter to humanity. Genius writing, directing, and acting.
Don’t sleep on this. Watch it. Like, yestersay. It will change your life.
