An Easy Going, Cute, and Comfy Type of BL Series
Cherry Blossoms after Winter is such a fluffy, cute, and comfy BL Series to watch. The setting of the story is the usual high school type wherein the characters are in their teen age. However, the main characters already knew each other since they were kids since they are living in the same house.
The story revolves around Haebom & Taeseong. When they were kids, their mothers are super close. Unfortunately, Haebom's parents got in an accident, causing him to get adopted by Taeseong's family. At first, he did not want Haebom to live with them, since he likes him ever since. But this was misinterpreted by Haebom and he thought that Taeseong hates him, causing a misunderstanding between the two, and for them to become not close until they became classmates in high school.
When they became classmates, Taeseong witnessed Haebom being bullied. As someone who is pessimistic, Haebom never fought back. Thankfully, Taeseong finally knew about the bullying, and decided to stop it by defending Haebom. Ever since this happened, both of them became close, and rumors about them being a gay couple was spread by the bullies. Eventually, the rumors died down and the bullies stopped.
In the day of Taeseong's birthday, Haebom asked him on what gift he wanted. At first, he said that the gift he wants is "You", but later on changed into drinking together. That night, Haebom got so drunk to the point that he cried because he missed his parents. Taeseong, can't control himself, kissed Haebom. When they woke up, Haebom can't remember a thing from that night, causing Taeseong to get angry. After this scene, Taeseong's feelings cannot be stopped anymore and he confessed to Haebom.
In short, the story is all about two male leads, wherein one has feelings on the other, but cannot confess to him.
The story is just light and easy to understand. The good thing is that the viewers can follow on what is happening on the series, because of how well written the whole series is. I feel like the technicalities of the series also helped, in a way that since the series is so light, the scenes also are, in terms of the color grading of each scene. The songs used was also correlated with the scenes because they are so fit together, I'm talking about the melody since I cannot understand the Korean language that was being sung in the songs.
In terms of the actors acting, I love them both so much. The most important part of their acting is how they made the viewers comfortable through their acting. They also let out the emotions that was needed to be portrayed in each scenes. Can we talk about how pretty Haebeom cries? He is just so good at it that I feel sad for his character. Their chemistry was also on point. They are just so cute together that it makes me smile throughout the whole series.
I just felt somewhat questionable to the story. Since they were living in the same house since they were kids, is it really possible that the two of you will not be close and friends with each other? I mean, they are literally just three persons in that house, yet they managed to avoid and not talk to each other. Anyways, this is fiction, so nevermind.
In totality, Cherry Blossoms after Winter is a really good South Korean BL series that everyone needs to watch if they need a series wherein they only want to smile all throughout the series.
