Turning Back Might Not Be A Good Decision
Admittedly, this is one of the most disconcerting BLs I have ever watched. While apocalyptic in nature, it does not quite end that way, although, given that it is from China, can be a matter of interpretation. I honestly do not know what to make of its ending. If you are an optimist, then the cracking of the ensorcelled pendent means the curse has been broken. If you are a pessimist, then you view the cracking of the charmed pendant as a fait accompli. You must decide which on your own.
The story is so simple really but has such hidden and complex meanings behind it. It is a story of two young men who are ostensibly not destined to be together. Shen Nan (Koi Wei Long) is a handsome and soft-spoken young man but very intense. Shen Nan is gifted somehow with a magical and mystical pendent that has enchanting powers. Perhaps he knows nothing of its powers until it is destined to be used and can only be activated to wish back time. He meets Gu Shi Wen (Li Yi Mu), a hypnotically enchantingly attractive young man about the same age as Shen Nan, perhaps slightly younger. Shen Nan’s father is about to marry Shi Wen’s mother. Almost immediately, they develop a connection, and a spark of love is lit between them. Yet Shen Nan keeps having reoccurring specific nightmares that Shi Wen will die.
