first half had me excited then let me down

I heard so much buzz around this one when it was airing so I was excited to binge it once it all came out. I loved the first half or so, it was the perfect blend of deranged and intriguing. I enjoyed both main leads in the beginning. After the first storyline wrapped and it moved into the next storyline I realized how much these characters were not developing. Just so much lying and hiding things from each other and then repeating the process. And in comparison to some shows where the intent is that all of the characters are horrible, it felt like we were supposed to like everyone, at least after the first storyline ended and some concerning behavior wasn't as present. It just turned into lying and hiding things that didn't need to happen. I didn't hate this show but I got tired of our MLs in the second half honestly, it was really disappointing. If the first half wasn't so good I'd put it lower. I don't remember much about the music so I just put it at the midway point 😅

beautifully tragic

I LOVED this drama. It is truly one of the only dramas I've ever watched that have made me sob. I can only think of two others that have made me cry. I also rarely consider a drama worthy of 10/10 but this is truly a story that I think many people would enjoy.
It's about young love, but it's also about treating every day like it's the last. Don't treat this like your typical BL. There are definitely sweet moments, and genuinely one of the best intimate scenes I've seen. But most of all it's about the strange ways humans will cope with grief. I also tend to not lean toward supernatural dramas but I think the way it's used is beautiful.
