I have only rarely been this much disappointed by a BL show. I watched so many Japanese movies and series, and this one is by far one of the worse. What a disaster when it could have been amazing! From what I expected from the plot and the casting to what I watched, there's a world. The actors were handsome, the movie set appropriate, the plot catchy, and then came the awkward scenario and the terrible acting. It may sound interesting but as a Westerner who understands Japanese, I didn't find anything to like about it. I love comedic and exuberant shows, this one is just tacky ..... it's by far one of the worst movies that I have ever watched, and I have watched thousands and thousands. It's not in my habits to put black on white my negative opinion, but I think this movie deserves it because it had ALL the means to be a great movie.
In love with the actors, I also liked the storyline. The plot was promising, the series could be longer. Not boring at all. I understand Su Hai Qing's choice, and I understand the persons who don't like his choice as well. He was in a terrible position, torn between two loves and forced to cheat and lie. However, if I were Su Hai Qing, I don't know if I'd have been able to make a choice at all, love needs bravery, but love hurts though. The storyline was from the start doomed to an unfair ending so there's no reason to judge Hai Qing, he was the victim of the times too, I guess :/
Perhaps that I am the only person who thinks this series should be called "WTF". I really didn't like it at all. I watched the first episode and didn't find it interesting enough to ''dig'' further. I respect those who find it interesting to watch though.
I forced myself to watch it because of the reviews, and I hated the 7 first episodes without finding the last ones outstanding. I'm surprised to read so much good reviews about something that much .................. boring.
In three words: WASTE OF TIME..
