A BL SERIES THAT'S BETTER TO BECOME A MOVIE
Because of You revolves around the three half-siblings: Juncheng Yuan (Oldest), Jundao Yuan (Second), and Junping Yuan (Youngest), who have to find their "lost" half-brother. Once they find that half-brother, their father will grant them any wishes, including the presidency of their company.
The story started with Juncheng Yuan, coming back to Taiwan from the South Korea. He was abducted by their uncle who wants the presidency of their company. Juncheng tried to escaped and while escaping he met Xun Lin, who helped him to escape. While escaping, Xun Lin's phone fell down, so he cannot answer the hospital's call. Sadly, during this, his mother dies, so he did not saw his mother for the last time.
Her mother (Cui Ying) obligated Xun Lin that when she die, he must call the number and person that is written on the paper. So, he called that number. When the person picked-up the call, it was the father of the Yuan brothers. They exchanged questions and the father found out that the one who called him is the son of Cui Ying, his past lover. He immediately called his three sons, informed them that he has another son out there, and they must find him immediately. The one who will find his other son will be granted any wish he wants.
The details of the "other" son was released. Since Juncheng already know that person, he is the first one to "abduct" Xun Lin. He took a sample of Xun Lin's DNA and tested it with their father. Turns out, he is not a son of Yuan, rather another man's son that Cui Ying has married. Their story continued with Juncheng wooing Xun Lin to become an adopted son of Yuan.
Now for the story of the two other couples:
Jundao Yuan is the second son.
- He doesn't really care about the guaranteed wish of his father so he did not search for the other son.
- He is living with Xiang Yang. Their story revolved around Jundao being jelous of Xiang's friend, since Xiang is always there in his friend's house. Later on, they will confront each other and confess their love.
Junping Yuan is the youngest son.
- He conspired with his bestfriend Yuerong to find the other son. Their story revolved around being school bestfriends to realizing that they are in love with each other. The main conflict in their story is Yuerong's sister wanting Junping to become his boyfriend. Yuerong did not agree, because he's in love with Junping.
This whole series can be compiled into one movie. I do not think that making it into a 10 episodes series is really necessary. Making it 10-15 minutes each episode makes it bad rather good, because the viewers can see how constraint each episode was. If they made it into a movie, they can explain and expound more what is happening in this series. Each characters will be given the limelight and explanation that they need. The viewers will appreciate more the movie.
The plot is usual, nothing unique, and rather unordinary. This kind of plot has been used and seen on many stories and novels out there. It is still interesting, I'd say. But there is nothing to be surprised in this series.
The acting was given a rating of 7/10, not because the acting was great, but rather the effort each actors gave to their character. The chemistry of each couples are satisfactory. There is really no spark between each couple. But who does not love men being sweet, caring, and kissing each other right?
In totality, the series was given a rating of 7/10, because it was good and can be watched by any types of viewers. In short, it is for experience to watch.
