Handsome boys, good acting, hopefully there will be more suchworks from mainland China. It was a tough watch though, witha lot of pain. Watch after credits.
I finished and last 5 minutes of ep 8 were good. First time I skipped scenes in japanese - drama, those short 8 episodes were too much, could be 30 min movie. As this is a part of MBS shower drama, dedicated to BL series, I was perplexed with the plot, it was an empty story altogether, misleading synopsis and plot shifted to sideways. Cast and cinematography were beautiful though
What a great series, the fact it was filmed 27 years, it seems fresh and cute, good qualify and pure joy! Thanks to Netflix for reviving the series. Bromance? BL? Just enjoy
So, SJK, being 34 then, looked like 20, that is a special sort of magic I suppose! Overall, fantastic series, I binge watched it in 2 days (18 episodes). I would say it is on the same level as GoT , some LOTR vibes, probably the Untamed, I wonder if there are any kdramas close to chronicles in scale and production, or is that even possible with he scale of the show. Alchemy of souls - already dropped twice, so not my thing.
This is scary, fantastic work - from producers and actors. I will need some time to process that, I experienced so strong emotions, my heart rate was crazy at some moments! Appreciate the fact no one put a tag BL, that is lgbtqi story, and being fortunate to avoid that myself, I am quite aware that stories of MLs are not rare in real world even nowadays. Another beautiful work from Japan
I am not surprised the series is great, it reminds me of History 3 trapped - and yes, they have the same screenwriter, and director from kiseki dear to me.
I was waiting for the series as I loved the trailer, and yes - good production, handsome boys, acting could be better , however I was smiling a lot and find the series cute
I like the idea, different people have various tastes, thank you! Will watch some of them, and agree with those I watched myself

Drawing closer (2024), if you dare to watch. Racket boys is a light series . Interestingly, I found a new series Light on my Lion , japanese 2024, and it has similar vibes to Navillera - outside of typical genre
Director of this drama has a gift, this drama and Mimikus - they both seem simple, short, with no expectations. Then, you start - and cannot even put them on pause. In both cases we have young handsome actors at the start of their careers, surprisingly good acting skills, simple plot without fillers. I will also rewatch this one (and mimicus), 9/10
