One of the best BLs that isn't really a BL
This just has the greatest story.I loved the setting and that it was not a typical High School or University drama.
The chemistry of the actors is fantastic.
I had this at 10 out of 10 until the very last episode but downgraded it to 9.5 because they sort of botched the ending a bit.
It could have been perfect but they added one more thing and that sort of made it feel a bit rushed. It's still very good though.
I really liked that there was nothing bad or dramatic about being gay, there were no actual role sterotypes like who is top and who is bottom and they made it clear that this a story about two men being in love and their love is respected and even encouraged by everyone around them. This doesn't have any of the typical BL tropes except maybe that bit of rich vs. poor but the main story succeeds without any artificial drama.
This is presented as a BL but this is really more of a modern love story which is much more positive than other BLs. If this is a new direction that BLs are taking then I want more more and more.
oh - one more thing... if you binge this make sure you have lot's of tissues around because this breaks your heart and puts it back together many times.

Great Story
I really liked the story here.The Chinese Background makes it interesting.
Teh's acting is a bit of a letdown. His limited facial expressions, fake smiles and forced crying made me cringe a lot. The writers gave his character a great emotional journey and I tried to focus on that.
Oh-Aew however genuinly transports every emotion as if he was feeling it himself.
Overall I thought Bas and Oh-Aew actually had better chemistry and I liked Bas character a lot
As for BL Dramas - this is very good. Partly helped by being short.
The music is really nice and the chinese new year scene when the play the main song on the piano is one of the best scenes for me.

Normal is overrated
I loved this story.It makes you think about compromises you made in your life and also encourages you to follow your dreams and that it is never too late to make a change to find happiness.
I loved the quirkyness of the characters, I loved the images.
The only thing I found distracting were the english language songs but I still want to rate this movie as a 10
I only watched the director's cut - so I don't know what is different in the series but it feels like I don't have to know.
