Character flaws are what made the series so amazing

I absolutely love this series! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but things did look kind of messy from the trailer and I am always down for that. The story is much more than just being a BL story, it feels very real and like something that could truly happen in the real life. All of the characters have their own flaws, but I feel like that makes them seem so human, so real.

The OST is beautiful as well. For obvious reasons, Tomorrow sang by Ford was the song that got to me the most. It sounds so soft, so beautiful, but the amount of emotions behind it is incredible. It’s also very uplifting if you listen to the lyrics closely. It really fits the storyline. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I also really liked the lightning of the series. Most of the time, it was very warm and I feel like it really suited the story and the characters.

Jim & Wen: I always love a good age gap story. I don’t know why, but I find them really interesting to watch if they are done well. And the story between Jim and Wen is done incredibly well. We cannot deny the chemistry between Earth and Mix, who were amazing in the roles. Their situationship kind of starts as a one night stand, but Wen is not down for that. They both have a lot of things they need to deal with relating to their past, things that definitely come to play an important role as their relationship progresses. Jim is someone who is very guarded, and it takes quite a bit for him to let someone in. Wen on the other hand is a lot more open and ready to dive head first into things, he is very honest and vocal about what he wants. I love how this was portrayed through the series, even if saying this is just due to their age is an easy way out. It’s due to their experiences, not due to their age.

Li Ming & Heart: I fell in love with Gemini in Fourth in My School President, so I was really looking forward to seeing more of them in this one. Heart’s story is heartbreaking, especially knowing that he has been deaf for years and his parents just didn’t bother to learn to communicate with him. Li Ming has faced his own struggles as well and his relationship with his uncle is not always the best. I couldn’t help but smile every time there was an interaction between Li Ming and Heart! The two were so adorable together, it was so heartwarming to see Li Ming doing his best to communicate with Heart in sign language! Also, representation matters! Having a deaf character, showing the deaf community, etc. is really a great way to represent people with certain disabilities. And the fact that there was sometimes no translation for the sign language was something I really liked, I was still able to get an idea of what is going on through the replies, expressions, etc. I am not sure if this was done on purpose or not though.

Gaipa & Alan: seeing Khao and First on the list of characters, we all knew they will end up paired together at some point, even if the trailer showed their characters enamored with Jim and Wen. Gaipa is a character that you cannot help but love, he is such a pure and loving person, always ready to help those around him. Alan, on the other hand, is a character that you want to hate but can’t. His “relationship” with Wen is extremely messy, he is hurting really badly. At one point, I felt more sympathy for him than I did for Wen. Both Khao and First did an amazing job with showing their characters emotions through little movements and face expressions.

The ending was exactly what I wanted. It fit well with the way the story progressed. I really enjoyed, including all for the character growth we saw through the series. My only complaint is that it was too short! Even if the series events were taking place over several months, it didn’t seem choppy or like we were missing anything important.
