First off, I will say that i have watched A TON of BL's over the years from; Thailand, Japan, and S.Korea. Also, being gay myself and out for the past 30yrs to a very supportive family i consider myself truly blessed. However, this was one strange drama i had difficulty digesting. For starters, the mother and son relationship is quite odd to say the least. She looks at her son not as her child but more the emotional lover she never had when she was married to the son's father. She is an extremely selfish and insecure individual who only cares about her own feelings. She tells here son throughout the drama how much she loves and adores him. Yet that love she claims to have for him is really based on when it's "convenient" for her. Meanwhile, her son is suffering deeply about his own personal feelings and identity, the loss of his dad, and trying to comfort his uncle all at the same time. He suspects that his uncle had a relationship with his dad and learns the truth of it as the drama plays itself out. And once he learns the truth about it from his uncle. He starts realizing more and more that he is also gay like his uncle. The acting and music throughout was superb. And i didn't realize until after watching it that the actor Pond Ponlawit who played Wang actually sung the OST for this drama. You can find it easily on YouTube by typing his real name and the name of this drama's OST. However, i felt a bit uneasy with the relationship part of the story. The nephew falling in love with his uncle but i think it was more like a "daddy figure" for him. And thankfully nothing overtly sexual happened between the two of them as that would have just been VERY weird indeed. Also, the mother looking at her son more as the emotional lover she never had instead of treating him as her child. I'm trying not to give everything away about it. As you have to watch it for yourself to form your own opinions. But if you can get past the mother/son uncle/nephew aspects. It's truly a different type of BL drama that is quite touching. Hitting on a bevy of emotional aspects. Everything from; inner struggles, identity issues, loss, sacrifice, insecurity, and selfishness are ALL abound in this drama. I highly recommend it as it was a refreshing change from "the norm" that Asian BL's are noted for and typically deliver.
