I finally caved in & watched it.
WOW! And that is short for Wow Oh Wow!!
This drama is absolutely beautiful. Everything about it is just perfection. The acting, the directing, the cinematography. I usually write reviews only for shows that I consider the cream of the crop & this my dear fellows is one of those. I watched it in one sitting.
One can tell that a lot of thought & work went into the show & it paid off well! Let me tell you I have watched my fair share of BL shows (well, maybe so much more than my fair share) & this one is different from the rest & it's a good kind of 'different'
The show does not rely on the typical tropes that we so often see on BLs. Just amazing storyline, beautiful characters & top notch acting. The love between Teh & Oh was so wonderfully portrayed, beautiful pure unadulterated love! It was one hell of a rollercoaster ride - heartbreakingly beautiful.
The acting is so unbelievably awesome! The crying scenes are so realistic (snots & all) & they are some of my favourite scenes in the show. And I've found a new weakness & that is Oh's crying face. I can't.. Everytime I see that face, I just wanna give him the biggest hug ever. These dudes can act!! They deserve awards for those portrayals man, seriously!!
Every character is so beautifully written, casted & portrayed.
It will be difficult to find another series with such great storyline, amazing chemistry, beautiful cinematography & out of the world acting. Usually you get one or the other with BLs but this one has it all. Maybe we might get to see the same level of perfection with its season 2. I can't wait to see how that plays out. Excited to see Oh & Teh's relationship in the 'boyfriends' stage. They have been through hell to get there & to see them bask in that stage would be so wonderfully exciting.
I cannot wait to see season 2 now!
