This show was really well done. Everything about the production felt professional, and I was totally emersed in each character's story. Still, I had to suspend my disbelief to buy that the solution the 3 would come up with in order to stay together was to have a baby to please Eiji's father. That makes no sense on any level, and no sane people would arrive at that solution. And these were some of the most real and believably written characters I've ever seen, so it was very out of character.
What I hated, though, was that Eiji's father got everything he wanted precisely because he refused to accept his son's sexuality. That really rubs me the wrong way. Even so, this is one of the best series I've ever watched with gay lead characters. It's a totally different vibe from the standard BL's. In fact, I'm not even sure this should quality as a BL show.
PS: The bleached hair did not do Eiji justice. I didn't realize how gorgeous he was until the time jump when he had normal hair.
This drama was... special. I knew it wouldn't be an easygoing one simply from the synopsis and I started this,…
It was really strange for me that they almost never showed Makio outside of someone else's POV, whether it was Mieko, Eiji, or Asato. That had to be intentional, but I really wanted to see his parents as well, and if he came out to them about Eiji.
So much cuter than I was expecting from its rating. Though the first episode is admittedly kind of confusing because its timeline is non-linear. But once you get past that, it's good.
It was pretty good, but somehow I'm still annoyed at Seung Hyun for almost ruining their relationship when he discovered the pen. It's hard for me to believe anyone would respond that way in real life. It felt a bit contrived as a means to create conflict between them.
Just realized that Sing is Natee from "Why R U?" I've never seen two more opposite characters in my life! He really hits different when playing a more serious role.
It was pretty good, and the actors can actually kiss, which I appreciated after back to back Japanese BLs. I still cringe so hard at the "wifey" label when they're both guys. You'd think I'd be used to it by now, but nope.
It wasn't his twin, it's the way Hao was coping. He made it seem like he was still alive and living well. Remember…
I read that it was someone Hao Ting met while hiking, who he intentionally befriended because of the resemblance to Yu Xi Gu. He kept in touch with him over the years just so he could see Yu Xi Gu's face when he wanted. The dude calls Hao Ting "Senior." Yu Xi Gu never called him that. Also I believe they used a voiceover from a different actor so it wouldn't even sound like Yu Xi Gu. That said, I've also heard the theory that he's a figment of Hao Ting's imagination. There was a lot I liked about the last episode, but the doppelganger part was definitely unnecessarily confusing.
I understand why some people choose to avoid the last episode (ep 9 of 10 on Viki, or 19-20 of 20 on some other sites). My only regret is that they'll miss some of the finest acting in the show. Wayne's portrayal of someone still grieving the loss of a lover years later was phenomenal. I felt everything he was feeling. An amazing performance!

I thought it was supposed to be someone he met who looked a lot like Yu Xi Gu, but obviously their personalities weren't similar at all. If it was in Hao Ting's imagination, then the person would have acted like Yu Xi Gu. But yeah, it was confusing. They should have found another actor to play the role, or make it more clear in some other way.
I mostly agree. Teh isn't evil or unforgivable or ruined for me, as some people feel. But Aew was right to leave…
I just can't agree with the "immature" and "selfish" description. After he witnessed the kiss, Aew didn't jump to conclusions and immediately dump Teh. He took some time to figure out what was actually going on. He talked to both Teh and Jai. Teh told him to trust him, that he knew Aew was trying and that he would keep trying as well. So Aew decided not to give up on their relationship. But then Teh literally couldn't keep his eyes off of Jai, and even worse, he tried to make one last play for him before Jai completely crushed that idea. And this was after he'd been caught and told Aew to trust him, so he really did earn that dumping. And it's not Aew's job to comfort him after being rejected after going after someone else. That would just be cruel.
