Casting could have been better
Honestly I'm a pretty easy sell on most of these shows, but the kid who played Amagi was too young, and it seemed super creepy to me that they were talking about being physical with each other. Maybe things are different in Japan, and maybe the age difference wasn''t too much in reality, but the guy who played Takara seemed significantly older than the actor who played Amagi, and the whole thing just made me feel dirty and weird watching it. Amagi was literally skipping through some scenes while Takara never changed his facial expressions. I know that this kind of dynamic is common for Japanese BL shows, but I think the concept was taken too far, and perhaps they should have casted an actor who could have aged a bit during the show and made it feel less creepy in the end. I was hoping they would do a time jump into the future where the relationship seemed less pedo using older actors so I could wash the entire thing out of my mind. The two leads had zero chemistry, for these reason. I thought both of them were charming and I would have loved seeing both of them in other things with other actors. I have read most of the reviews and mine is a lot different for some reason, but I figured I'd put mine out there. No hate, honestly I watched the whole thing but you should be warned it seemed like a 17 year old dating a 12 year old the entire time.Was this review helpful to you?

Very cool.
I watch this not knowing anything about the source material or anything. I of course, now know that there’s some controversy about this show in China, but I’ve gotta tell the people in charge in China, never once did either of these characters come off as anything but straight teenagers. They literally just look like really good friends. That was enough to drive this story for this season and another one! The chemistry between these two guys was over the top amazing. There’s literally nothing not to like, except for the annoying acting of the little girl, and The fact that one of the actors seem to be voice dubbed. Being that I was watching it with subtitles it wasn’t that big of a deal, but when I watched interviews later, it was very obvious that WuBi doesn’t have the same voice in real life that he does in the show.Was this review helpful to you?
Charming
There was just something about the guy who played the deaf kid that was so incredibly endearing that it was hard not to love him. He never came off as a victim, and until I watched behind the scene stuff, I had no idea that he could speak or hear. If you just watch the show, you will be convinced that this kid is deaf. Originally, I thought it was weak on story, but then I realized that it wasn’t weak, it was just completely genuine. This is a really good show.Was this review helpful to you?
