this followed the formula of many bls、 some sweet and some sad moments、 though they lacked real chemistry I felt and sometimes it seemed like they were going through the motions。 as someone else says the 4 year later device is irritating evasion and hardly realistic。 however my bigger criticism of this drama is its storyline promised to deal with the serious topic of pupil to teacher feelings and in the end it really avoided confronting this issue、 actually running away from it you could say and returning to the easy bl formula、 so a disappointed 9 from me🩷🌈
I am glad Japanese doramas especially can present serious emotional issues in gay romance doramas through an amusing and unusual or even bizarre storyline different from just sweet but formulaic stories、 so here [unlike the more usual story of teen struggle] we have a story of adult confusion about sexual identity in Souta set against Mahiro's obsessive love while struggling with lack of self-confidence and repressing his feelings。Yutaro's acting is especially good。for me this dorama deserves a higher rating I think。some of the comments fail to understand the deeper issues it raises I would say。heartwarming and delightful〜❤️🍉🌈
very interesting movie, interesting concept though maybe a better title is "Forced Love......":note the irony it is from the girl to Xie as well as Xie to Nian。 worth the trouble to watch even through barely readable subtitles。
as for the ending、 bitter sweet but separation is part of life however for me the failure here was Cheng Yi’s forced lovemaking knowing he intends to separate from Zi Min、g this comes into the category of playing with someone else's feelings which can have serious psychological impact significance of phone call ambiguous I feel calling but unwilling to say where you are suggests further selfish emotional manipulation probably just unthinking not calculated ? though this also leaves open the possibility for future reunion but of course it is unlikely this would pass censorship in China in fact it is surprising this drama seems to have fallen below the radar though it is very welcome to find such a moving same sex Chinese drama but anyway we are free to make our own imaginary sequel ❤️🌈
this is endearing drama、 though low budget in production it does not matter they manage to bring out such emotions and interaction between the characters I cannot understand the low ratings🌈❤️
88 one minute episodes? what genius thought this up where is the logic even?it will take longer to set up each video。maybe suffers from ADHD designed for such viewers but、 even my attention span is longer than this
HIStory 1 Obsessed for me this is somewhat difficult to understand I confess、 I thought this was real reincarnation story but how is he in same body and same age (is it an eternal cycle type ?)maybe I am missing something。 anyway episode 2 was pretty awful but it goes with the theme of obsession that implies uncontrolled I suppose the weakest of the three stories in my opinion 7.5 [low end of spectrum for me] 〜though none of these dramas were particularly good 、 so 8 average
History 1 stay away from me nice story and ending though、 the transition of Duke Wu from unsympathetic arrogant slob to sweet hurt rejected lover does not really ring true
There are many Chinese dramas of this type with the trope of clever boy and bad boy coming together though this is better than others I think。But the censorship is frustrating。I noticed a deleted scene in episode 6 where the two boys were supposed to hug as a dare for a game lost by Jin Zhan。It really is pathetic how the Chinese censor harmless scenes。 Do they think they will stop people being gay by a policy of hiding it and keeping it not socially "acceptable"? nonetheless this is a lovely series I like because I could always look forward to coming away with a positive or uplifting message、 the kids shown here are all so friendly and helping each other。 it is a good advertisement for Chinese education system but then is it a true picture or as I suspect idealized
I really came to like this: a series of supernatural stories revolving around the friendship、 with clear homoerotic intent、between a demon and demon hunter 。 the various stories are uneven and some lacked momentum、for me the last one about the scholar and spirit of the painting、 also by no coincidence homoerotic、 is the most beautiful and poetic。the ending brings everything together sweetly。 the production values are obviously limited although it is strong on creating atmosphere、 even a numinous quality if you let your imagination flow。this may not appeal to everyone〜 maybe just those with bizarre tastes like me❤️🌈
love overcomes all I am sure❤️🌈

significance of phone call ambiguous I feel calling but unwilling to say where you are suggests further selfish emotional manipulation probably just unthinking not calculated ?

from unpromising start this turned out quite well [with reservations : in spoiler comment]
8.5
for me、 not as bad as some on here say but、
8
