never felt this attached to a series, breathtakingly beautiful.
first (and possibly the last) time writing review. sammy's children's day is such a beautiful series. starting from the plot, to the cinematography, to the chemistry between the leads, to the music, everything just sat so right. not even a second felt boring to me. especially how they placed little non-cringey comedy scenes to lighten up the mood, didnt feel out of place at all.i loved how even in such a short time, they portrayed the change in character dynamics, both in an individual setting and with their respective partner. he chusan grew more confident. he let himself go into the darkness just to bring liuyi out of it. on the other hand, xia liuyi was ready to give up his only identity for he chusan, the xiaoqi hall. the gradual progression of their feelings for each other was so wholesome to watch. havent read the novel myself but ive heard that they skipped parts of it, for which season 2 is a must im REALLY looking forward to what more they bring us.
cant help but mention some scenes which particularly awed me, one: when chusan tells liuyi he wants to take liuyi with him out of that place, chusan is seen initially standing under the light, liuyi in the dark. but by the end, chusan says his last line standing in the dark too. "how will i bring liuyi out of hell if i dont enter it." two: when a single drop of blood falls onto chusan's white canvas shoes, indicating the entry of liuyi is his life. three: the balcony to phonebooth communication, just felt so unreal.
maybe i am biased but the chemistry between changxi and yanzhao are off the charts, both of them seem so genuine on and off screen it makes mt heart so full. even in the series, their chemistry bloomed so well. alongside, the story between second couple was left at a very awkward position but with what was shown, i can tell they sit well too.
so, yeah. a beautifully made series. a little hasty but i hope ss2 will make up for it. made me sob, laugh, then sob again. (and i absolute love the pairs arghh can never get enough of them)
