my first review - so upset!

You know I had to be angry enough to actually sign on and write a review....I'm a middle aged white woman, trying to learn Chinese, and discovered BL quite late in the game. So quit reading if my thoughts wouldn't be worth your while.....all set? Ok. This series seriously grew on me. SO concerned about the bullying, stalking, and lack of boundaries this show depicted. However, that being said, I felt that it portrayed accurately the puppy-like mentality of teenaged boy culture. There was something that felt true about it - the pent up emotions, the love poured out in friendship, the anger sprouting from loyalty. While I was really fed up with the boys, I was also made acutely aware of the truth in the way they treated each other.

The weak male lead was quite a good actor, and grew on me. But I couldn't see what the girls (and male lead) were crushing on? He was barely there....a strong breeze would have surely swept him away. Perhaps this was a problem with the casting - but he DID look impoverished and vulnerable and the perfect target for bullying. Once that disjuncture passed, I got really into the story, especially the chain of reactions that led to male lead's remorse and very sincere apology for being a pig towards the weaker one.

The portrayal of sexual aggression was troubling. Second couple's first kiss - a forced one in a locker room, was seriously problematic, but the guy being forced was, like, what, 30? And the younger guy was just so clueless about how to handle his hormones...it felt real. Their sex scene (unsafe sex, anyone?) was obviously consensual, and the older guy sort of showing the younger how it worked - these are the reason BL's are important, even if it would have been better with a condom-getting moment. History 4: Close to You - does a good job teaching the kinds of things young men should know, including open communication and asking questions.

The pressure male lead 1 put on male lead 2 to "give yourself to me" made me seriously uncomfortable. He came around in the end - but with such a huge pouting period, that male lead 2 gave in, albeit with older lead guy giving him advice..."follow your heart" and "have confidence in yourself." All good things - but how about, not until you're ready? Talk it out with each other?

Finally - the ending. I was sooooooo very angry at this last episode that I cannot even put words to my frustration. I don't know where to even begin! The accident was not covered - we don't know what happened exactly - other than he got hit by a car, and what about everyone else's reaction, like older male lead, who cared for him? But then some version of him keeps appearing? I thought (bear with me here) that perhaps, he had some kind of brain injury that made him lose his memory and mentally stall at 18 - so no matter what happened, he never matured or was able to learn more and meet his goals? So he doesn't remember male lead 1, or their relationship...that, in itself, would be tragic. To have your lover not remember or be able to progress beyond a teenager would be kind of like having a spouse with dementia. But then, his old girlfriend shows up and talks about the aunt having a small funeral, etc., which confused the heck out of me. Is he dead? Were those hallucinations? A doppleganger? And why, if it was hallucinations, was the version of weak male lead 2 so weirdly hip? What the heck??? And male lead 1 was so pathetically sad - there was no way for the viewer to process! The ending was SO unsatisfying. I couldn't sleep, as my mind was actively trying to figure out what it all meant.

So I'm torn. I did like the portrayal of male hormonal love (lust, really) - well, not liked it, really, but thought it realistic at any rate. The character arks for both male leads of couple 1 were believable, and very well acted. But the ENDING. We all need closure, and the writing let us down.

They broke a good character

I don’t know why but I postponed this series for years now.
I began to watch it 2 days ago. 2 hours ago I finished the last episode. I was wordless. I did go for a run. 30 minutes later I am writing this review and I really don’t know how to put it quite right but here I go: How in the hell can a writer and a production think that this was the best ending to their story? they build a story (and quite a good one) and slash killed the two characters in the last episode. You all know what I mean: one was killed by the demon car/truck (for all I care, I did not see it) and the other one was left a broken person for 6 years and certainly for live. That was quite a wrap. That was the best they thought about. It was their choice. And for all I am concerned it was quite a poor one. One for the ages.

This is what perfection looks like!!!!

DO NOT WATCH IF YOU DON'T LIKE SAD ENDINGS!!!!
This drama broke us and made us whole again... We didn't know that this would become one of our favorite dramas of all time and it's BECAUSE of the ending. It was raw and it was real. This is one of the only dramas that could get this right in our opinion. Others have tried the same sort of route, but it fell flat because it felt unnecessary, etc. Here it added value to the story. In our unpopular opinion - this story would not have been the same if it ended the way everyone wanted. We cried ourselves to sleep and probably for a week thereafter. We've rewatched it a couple of times as well. It was so beautifully written. The character development was done brilliantly as well. The OST didn't help either. It added to the emotional turmoil that was this story. BUT once again it was done PERFECTLY. We have yet to find a story that can play our emotions and deserve it like this one.

I don’t get why people are marking this so low?!

I’ve now watched this twice. The enemies to lovers plot is a tad predictable and one could argue that Huang Juan Zhi’s character does forgive Wayne Songs character a little too fast, BUT…. It does explain that he liked him anyway and had been caught out staring at him across the school so maybe he just hadn’t come to terms with what that feeling actually meant until he was persued.
The ending oh the ending. People are complaining it was the worst ending ever and I’m sorry but that’s ridiculous. It’s all in the title make each day count because you don’t know what might happen. The shock factor was brilliant I for one didn’t see it coming. And the TEARS!! ? yes they could have got that point across some other way such as a breakup or an illness or even just an accident but I think they wanted an impact. They wanted to punch you in the gut. I think they succeeded brilliantly.
Wayne songs acting at the end broke my heart. I think if you overlook the small things the overall story is just so sad and beautiful because these things ACTUALLY happen. We don’t want to think about it but it does and sometimes I like a good reality check.
I think if you haven’t watched it then you definitely should.

Moral

I must confess, I HATED the ending. It completely destroyed me, I cried for hours straight, I could not get over it, I just simply couldn't. I didn't want to accept the fact that it turned out that way. Ep. 19 and 20 were painful for me to watch, I really couldn't stand it; I was mad, upset but also sad. I was so invested in this drama, I fell in love with those actors, their acting, the plot itself even though it was a BL based in university had something special and unique about it. I loved the series from the very first minute. It was amazing. But those truly are the emotions that I felt watching the last episodes.
However, the more I think about it, the more I realise that the director is truly a genius. The thing is, are we surprised it had a sad ending? Or tragic, should I say.
The title itself, ,,Make Our Days Count" says a lot; the OST too. I guess we were shocked because it came unexpectedly, when everything was fine. But wasn't that the point? The fact that we are all angry and upset about it says that the director did a good job. Throughout the series, they've introduced us to these characters. This whole time we got to know them, in the end we got to feel their emotions; we were happy when they were happy, we were sad when they were sad. We got truly attached to them. They made us see their lives, their struggles, how they react to certain situations, their emotions, and we got to experience them along with them. When the tragedy happened, we were all shocked. We couldn't understand it, we didn't get why it was so sudden? Fans were mad, kept saying that this was very much pointless and it should have had a happy ending; all this because it was just so sudden and unexpected. But this is the reality they tried to show us. This is why we were so upset over it. Because life is very much unexpected, we do not know what will happen in the future, what will happen on the next day, what will happen in an hour; we can't predict it, we just live our lives mostly not worrying about those stuff. And this is exactly what Haoting went through. One minute he was happy with the love of his life, and the next minute his life turned upside down. Even 6 years later, he still had troubles overcoming the loss of XiGu; and we got to experience it with him. He didn't expect it, it just came down and hit him in his face like that, and I feel like this is the message they were trying to get through. I understand why fans might be mad, I saw comments of people saying it's rubbish because LGBT+ community have enough tragedy in their real lives. This is very much true; however, we can't make every BL have a happy ending. I hope that maybe at least some of you will get my point. I think that this drama was very well done and planned.
I've never written any reviews, like ever, and english isn't my first language, so I am sorry for any mistakes.

This series broke my heart big time. I appreciate tragic endings but this one really caught me off guard. After building the characters and the different conflicts in the story, then suddenly you feel a different mood in the last episode. It is one of the most unexpected endings I've ever seen. Surely we should 'Make Our Days Count'.

The actors did a great job. They were very natural and were successful in portraying the roles they played.

I just don't understand why viewers had to suffer from this series. I'm sure I'll still be sad in the next few days, I'm sure I won't be able to watch other series yet.

One of the best except...

This was an amazing series for 9 episodes. The chemistry between the couples was just off the charts. Wilson Liu is just too much I can't get enough of his smile and facial expressions. He is going places. I docked it a point because of Ep 10. I saw it coming in EP 9. It was a typical BL story that was anything but typical for 8.5 episodes. There is a season 2? I hope both couples are in it. Yeah I know but I have to say it. The writing casting and direction are exceptional. I wonder if there is a book that this follows.

I don't even know where to start. I don't feel like writing a proper review so here's me brainstorming all my emotions and thoughts ten minutes after watching the last episode, still teary-eyed:

I decided to watch this show because Trapped left such a strong impression on me. I had big hopes for the history series and MODC certainly did not disappoint.

The chemistry between the cast made the whole show for me. EVERY interaction was gold, even if the plot didn't go the way most of us didn't want it to go (I'm not gonna cry again.............fuc-----). The actors were phenomenal and I really hope they keep acting on good dramas in the future.
The characters were incredible, in my opinion. I got frustrated at the secondary couple at first but eventually fell for them. I laughed SO HARD whenever the friends were together. Those twins??? FINE AF! (Everyone was fiiiine though haha).
Our main couple... what can I even say about them? Watching their development as the episodes went by was an amazing experience. Their relationship was portrayed in a very sincere way, and for once it was really healthy. They helped each other grow up and... live. I will never forget them. The actors did a mind-blowing job. Every touch, every look, every smile, every tear. Simply stunning.
The only characters that didn't go through that much of a development, in my opinion, were the parents. I know not every character evolves in a certain way but I do think they were quite insensitive at times, specially in the last episode (no spoilers).

The music? AMAZING. I have to download every single song from this soundtrack. I would never skip the intro because of the amazing ost, and the music always matched the mood and the aesthetic of the cinematography throughout the show, which made me really happy.

Although it'll be hard to rewatch, I don't exclude the possibility. At least for the sweet moments. That ending... hm... many people were unpleased and I was, too. However, I think it makes sense. The title is so meaningful, just like the many lessons this show taught the viewers. I'm grateful they took a risk, even if I don't necessarily agree with it. I was hoping they would make an alternative ending but I'm way too naive for even thinking about that possibility but hey, nothing is impossible, right? I wanted more interactions between the cast, at least!


Taiwan's BL's quality is outstanding. Even better than South Korea and Japan in BL's (who have higher budgets), I must say. They keep getting better and better at character development in the HIStory series and the plot keeps making my heart actually hurt, sometimes in positive ways, sometimes in.....not so positive ways. But I'm really looking forward to the next season of the HIStory series! I'm so thankful this BL didn't even feel like a BL? How to explain... I really felt like the way a relationship between men was portrayed (and the actors are probably straight, not sure) wasn't awkward at all, which happens in most BL's, even if only a tiny bit.

I won't ever, ever, ever forget this story and these characters. I'll create an alternative ending in my head but I'm thankful for everything I've learned from this show. We must live in the present and make every single day, as insignificant as it may look, count.

I expect too much from the last episode(11) and again i disapointed so much even more than before.

first, the actor playing Xiang Hao Ting father , don't act so well, even very bad, he is also short, his son to tall compare to his perents, it's look like a bad jock, second- all those scene with the perents are worn out, for me it's look like a joke , yes...people like them exsist unfortunatly, but i really don't want to watch them or hear of them , they are big big joke that aren't educated and not so smart, but those perents are live very well life...i'm asking myself how can welthy person can be so dumb.

another thing is the not realistc relationships, they just jump to the sex to make us want more, but the truth is maybe teens will enjoy it, the rest will be bored, because they know that sex without any foundation don't worth so much as a viewer , older viewers want to grow with the characters and feel more, you don't want just the flash and highlights,

i think in general the title for this drama sums it up well- highlights drama, when you see the result of everything but not the equation

another thing that this ep11 show very well all this drama is the part when they sit at the roof and the guy talking how his perents became stars.
nowdays kids and teens are smart or they have a lot of knowlage of everthing, everything is in youtube, they watch sciense and astronomy and physics and so on, it's the most relevant topic nowdays,,,,,i guess the writer doesn't update so much in teens lifes. so they know what are the stars...from what they made and so on...it's kind of a joke to say that your perents is "stars" also it's quite kill the romance so i'm almost sure they can't feel what is romance = lies.
ask any teen if he knows what it is.....even kids know there is no santa for example...so they are very well know things.
another problem is that it's the most cliche scene ever excist in movies....the stars and watch the stars and talk about your perents that became a stars....it's just so cliche you are bored.

so this is it. if you are teen you will enjoy the excitment of the result because you like fast food and fast sex and fast everything, if you older...you can skip and it's make your life better = couse you save time.

Realmente me costó llegar a la conclusión de este bello drama, porque era evidente desde su final lo que sucedería y no me atrevía a concluirlo aún.
Hoy precisamente tome la oportunidad de hacerlo, no es el primer drama BL con un dramático final que concluyo, pero aun así no deja de ser doloroso al recordar.
El título me lo gritaba a los cuatro vientos y no quise aceptarlo y heme aquí, desahogándome por primera vez en un escrito acá.
Se que la franquicia de HIStory nos tenía tan acostumbrados a finales dulce y momentos de superación donde veíamos a las parejas estar juntas y éramos felices por eso. Siempre esperábamos por otra entrega de esta bella historia.
Ahora luego de esta entrega con tan buena trama, nos hace pensar en la vida misma. No todas las historias de amor terminan como deseamos. Muchos buscan caminos por separados, pero eso no evita dar todo de si mientras dure tu relación para que al menos el tiempo juntos tengas buenos recuerdos.

Ver a Hao Ting llorar literalmente me hizo llorar (Wayne realmente hizo un buen trabajo) y estaba muy enojada al principio porque él y Xi Gu merecía un buen final como todos los demás. Sé que la historia siempre trata de representar la realidad, pero todavía estoy triste por todo, honestamente. Al menos estoy feliz de ver a Sunbo ser tan bueno con Hao Ting. Incluso cuando todo se ponga difícil, siempre habrá alguien a tu lado que te amará y que te escuchará.

Cuando desde el inicio solo vez todo envuelto entre tanta dulzura sabes que algo no va bien acá, ley de los dramas.
Todo parecía carecer de un punto culminante y al ver cómo todo iba en una buena dirección, entonces sospeché que no terminarían juntos, ya sea una ruptura o una de ellas muriendo. Pero tienes razón, las pistas fueron muy sutiles e hicieron un buen trabajo para distraerme, así que no se mostró tan descaradamente como atrapado donde todos sabíamos que no terminaría demasiado bien para los personajes.

Y para terminar tomaré varias frases y diálogos que ame durante el recorrido.

----- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Realmente creo que es guapo. Y cada vez que lo veo, no sé por qué, pero mi corazón se siente como que está a punto de saltar de mi cuerpo.
Al principio, fue porque gritó. Luego, cuando lo vi, sentí pena por él. Entonces pensé que era porque lo compadecía, pero no es así para nada. Me di cuenta de que estoy empezando a ponerle más atención.
Como cuando estudia, cuando se ríe, cuando camina, incluso cuando está parado quieto en un lugar. No puedo evitar mirarlo. Justo como hoy en la clínica de salud. Seguí, seguí, mirándolo. No sé qué diablos está pasando conmigo.
Solo pienso que él es realmente lindo. Él es muy lindo.
- Te gusta Yu Shigu.
- ¿A mí?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amar a alguien es no hacerlo llorar o no hacerlo sentir mal. Amar a alguien... es dejarlo que sea feliz.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
¿Por qué quieres protegerlo? ¿No solías odiarlo antes? Ahora, mientras le vaya bien, entonces estoy feliz. ¿No es esto lo que es querer a alguien? Como antes, cuando te gusto y yo te gusto, ¿ese tipo de me gusta? Me gusta Yu Shigu. ¡Me gusta mucho! Gracias. Después de decírtelo ahora, me siento mucho mejor. ¡SÍ! Xiang Haoting, estás realmente loco. Eso es lo que dice mi papá.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cuando nos empujan a avanzar por el tiempo, es cuando nos damos cuenta de que todos los preciosos recuerdos de nuestros corazones son todos los "ese día" cuando caminamos juntos
Mejor, Cada "Ese Día"

Si realmente tengo errores o si mi texto lo siento, realmente escribi esto desde el fondod e mic orazón y no revose si tiene sentido.
ES MI CORAZÓN TRISTE GRITANDO!!!

História intensa que te deixa vidrado até o final

Make Your Days Count tem muitos fãs apaixonados por conta da história muito bem desenvolvida, que aborda seus aspectos de forma muito clara e penetrante. Certo, eu também fui esse fã apaixonado enquanto estava assistindo aos vinte episódios de vinte e cinco minutos. Make Your Days Count é, de fato, uma produção que mexe bastante com o emocional do telespectador.

Por mais problemática que possa parecer a relação "bully to lovers" que é apresentada no início da narrativa, você acaba se apegando aos personagens principais desde o início, justamente por essa temática de "bullying no colegial" ser expressada de forma tão ingênua. Eu sou definitivamente contra esse tipo de conceito, o que quero apontar aqui é que o espectador consegue sentir que Xiang Haoting, o bully, faz o que faz por puro comodismo, como o tipo de gente que segue os padrões sociais sem nem pensar se eles são bons ou maus, se eles fazem sentido para eles como pessoas ou não. Existem personagens que são maus "concientemente", assim como existem personagens que vão completamente contra os maustratos à Yu Xigu, mas não sabem como agir nas situações de intimidação, justamente por essa imposição social implicita em que o mais forte tem que se impor diante do mais fraco.

Tendo exclarecido esse tema, que é só a pontinha do iceberg de Make Your Days Count, seguimos para o desenrolar do plot:

A namorada de Xiang Haoting começa a dar em cima de Yu Xigu, um garoto quieto e viciado em estudos, então Haoting se vê precionado pelos amigos e confrontá-lo, já que ele é o "garoto popular que tira notas baixas de propósito" e seus amigos afirmam ter certeza de que quem está dando em cima de Meifang é Xigu, não o contrário. Uma vez que os amigos de Haoting já tinham assustado Xigu, ele faz de tudo pra fugir de Haoting, com medo da aparente agressividade do garoto. Naturalmente eles não se dão bem nesse início, até que Haoting percebe que seu comportamento realmente não faz sentido e que, talvez, ele tenha sentimentos confusos em relação à Xigu. É nesse ponto que eles começam a se aproximar, mesmo que Xigu se oponha fortemente a todas as investidas de Haoting em demonstrar seus sentimentos florescentes.

Ao mesmo tempo, Bo Xiang, amigo de Haoting, está apaixonado por Zhi Gang, um cara mais velho que frequênta a academia onde Bo Xiang trabalha. Ele faz de tudo pra chamar a atenção de Zhi Gang, mas sem muito sucesso, já que Gang parece ter fechado seu coração completamente.

Agora, analisando os personagens:

Haoting: Como préviamente dito, o garoto popular que tira notas ruins de propósito. Haoting é uma pessoa tranquila e animada, não se importa muito com o colégio e está sempre acompanhado de seus amigos, tem uma boa relação com a família, situação financeira estável e preocupações simples como "vou guardar dinheiro para comprar esse videogame novo". Uma vez que sua personalidade é bastante ingênua, Haoting acaba se chocando com a realidade extrema de Xigu, mas ele não deixa de adimirá-lo e adorá-lo apesar de suas chamativas diferenças. A presença de Xigu na vida de Haoting faz com que ele amadureça, é um caminho bastante bonito de acompanhar, o modo como ele deixa de ser um adolescente bobo que vive comprando frango para os amigos para se tornar alguém preocupado com o futuro e ambicioso, que quer entrar numa das cinco melhores faculdades de Taiwan para poder ficar ao lado de quem ama;

Xigu: Um grãozinho de feijão que foca sua vida inteira em estudar e trabalhar para poder pagar os estudos. Tem a personalidade muito fechada, ninguém em volta para fazê-lo sorrir, a não ser os professores e demais adultos que insistem em alimentá-lo, já que Xigu prefere guardar seu dinheiro em vez de almoçar. Conforme vai se aproximando de Haoting, vai ficando mais emotivo, sorri com mais frequência, não parece sempre estar com medo do externo, passa a se alimentar coorretamente. A partir da metade do drama, o telespectador consegue perceber quão motivado e confiante Xigu se torna depois de conhecer Haoting, como ele parece estar saindo de sua bolha de solidão e se permite olhar para o mundo e ver beleza nele;

Bo Xiang: Bobo apaixonado, mas que acaba escolhendo caminhos bastante errados quando decide expressar seus sentimentos. Aqui tenho uma crítica à problemática não tão bem tratada da "declaração" dele ao Zhi Gang; Não acho certo o modo como as coisas aconteceram nem o fato de não ter se tornado um tópico relevante na narrativa, mas entendo que toda produção tem suas falhas, assim como toda pessoa tem suas falhas (porém ainda esperava um pouco mais, justamente por ser um tópico tão delicado);

Zhi Gang: Daddy da academia, chefe super atencioso do Xigu e o personagem mais sério da história inteira. Também fica relutante quanto à aproximação do Bo Xiang, mas acaba cedendo aos sentimentos do garoto uma vez que eles conversam sériamente sogue isso. Dez pontos pra Corvinal pelo entendimento de que diálogo é a chave para resolver todos os conflitos;

Agora, sobre a problematização final, além de me deixar bem confusa, eu não entendi o conceito "alucinação" expresso nos últimos episódios. Sinto que não era tão necessário, apesar de entender que é um ponto de vista válido e, de acordo com uns spoilers que vi sobre a segunda temporada, até que faz sentido levando em conta o rumo que essa segunda parte (provavelmente) vai seguir.

Como eu já disse, Make Your Days Count foi bem intenso, mas esse é um sentimento que eu não sei expressar por palavras. A intensidade acontece enquanto você vai assistindo aos episódios, mas nenhum ponto em específico me fez sentir especialmente muito apegada à história. Ainda assim, é um drama excelente, eu amo observar como as produções de HIStory vêem melhorando conforme as temporadas vão sendo apresentadas. Todo novo conceito me surpreende, é ótimo poder estar acompanhando esse projeto.

The title should've been a dead giveaway!

OK so this is my first review. I began to watch this kind of drama very recently. I usually NEVER watch any stories involving same sex romances. The reason is simple: they tend to be sad and end badly. Now, to each their preferences, but if I'm gonna watch this kind of series, my goal is clear: escapism from the usually dreary reality of same sex romances. When I discovered HIStory, I was overjoyed! Intersting stories, reasonably good acting and happy endings aplenty... until this series. Admittedly, the title initially appeared off-putting to me. But I was lulled in a false sense of security and risked it anyway. I dropped out right after the time skip as I knew where the ending was ended. And really, I should've known better. I had real problems getting into the story in the beginning. As good as the actors are (and I think they are quite good) I had a problem with their acting. To be precise, the humoristic scenes seemed WAY forced and a little out of place in a series that seemed to present itself as more "realistic". It's the first time in HIStory where homophobia (or something approaching) looks like something of a threat. Not to mention the fact that sex is present at all... But I still continued because HIStory hadn't disappointed me yet. But I gotta tell ya, the "realistic" flair was something of a red flag! Still, I decided to believe that, just because it's gonna be more realistic doesn't automatically mean it's gonna be sad. Well la-dee-da to me! Of course one of the lead had to die! The reason I am so disappointed is that HIStory was something of a safe heaven to me. I thought I had found a series could talk about same sex romances without resorting to the tired trope of "same sex romances usually end in tragedy". Well the false sense of security is gone. The reason I find it a pity is that there is enough sad same sex romances at the cinema and on TV. To me, this sad ending doesn't really serve the story and is a bit of a cop out. Now, at the end of the day, I'm sure that some people will still appreciate this series for what it is and I respect that choice. As for me, where before I would begin a new series of HIStory without any reservation, I learned my lesson. I will wait for it ti end and see if the ending is sad or not.
