One of the artistic BLs ever made

I'm somehow a novice to the BL world, yet i have had my fair share of watching Some famous BLs recommended.

I found this drama while it was airing and it was in the THAI section of MDL, which was confusing as i was not looking for a thai BL. Then i figured it was chinese. I will keep this review short by just mentioning pros and cons.

Pros:
1- The whole drama concept is new. The story, plot, characters, acting and production. It was not like other BLs i watched before.

2- The story is intriguing, romance-wise. I loved the leads. Their love was beautiful. Not quite innocent but kinda innocent in its own way. The chemistry was palpable. Not to mention the kiss scenes. Swoon-worthy.

3- The directing of this drama is quite interesting. At some point it gave the feeling of watching a documentary, The director paid attention to the smallest details too.

4- The scenery. God this drama has one of the most beautiful settings. The forests, locations, all of them are artistic. Kudos!

5-The OST. it easily became my favorite. All of the songs were amazing. It's rare to like a an ost so much but this will remain my favorite for a while.

Cons:
1- The plot and story were not coherent in some parts. Some details became suddenly vague or left unanswered. We don't what happened to those who were killed and commited suicide. I don't know it was delibrate but they left out a few things and introduced other things totally unrelated.

2- 16 episodes seemed a bit long. i think 12-13 eps would have sufficed. Some episodes became too sad or draggy.

3- I didn't like the fact that there were lots of deleted materials that should have been bought. I ended up not seeing so many of the NC scenes it seems lol.

4- To fully understand what had happened, I had to pay attention lol. yes this drama needs a little concentration or you will miss what happened.

Overall, it's a 10 for me even though it has some weak points too but nonetheless, this will remain one of my favorites.
