I typically enjoy period dramas but this one was a flop :(
Unlike series like Word of Honor or Untamed, which are BL coded but technically bromance, Meet You At The Blossom is 100000% gay. There’s no ambiguity about it.
Key criticisms of this series include its paperthin characters and weak plot. I don’t disagree.
Many good period dramas have a sprawling universe with many characters woven into a comprehensive plot. This takes time to develop. Rush it over too few episodes and you either run the risk of confusing the audience or wind up having to simplify the storyline. Both options are not ideal, and unfortunately, in the case of Meet You At The Blossom, it was a combination of both.
It was a little hard to follow the relationships between the different factions and characters, and the series got a little taxing to finish. The love story between Xiaobao and Huaien also felt poorly thought-out. There was initial chemistry that was quite promising, but all that quickly evaporated as the story went on.
Perhaps the storyline made their relationship seem lacking in depth? Even as I approached the end of the series, I remained utterly unconvinced of their love for each other.
