A somewhat underrated, rather beautiful show
I've currently binge-watched 3 dramas (and counting :?) over my one-week holiday and this has been my favourite.
I'm quite drawn by dramas with a sense of loss to them (is it a tendency towards emotional catharsis? emotional masochism? God knows) and indeed, this drama has quite a lot of that present, so if you're not the kind of person who likes to face a sense of loss or an awareness of the impermanence of love and life (something which plagues this drama) then maybe this is not the one for you.
There are, as other reviewers point out, some situations which practically do not make sense and anomalies which I overlooked. Without saying too much, it does appear that certain things are left unresolved or unclear in the plot, as question marks of sorts which may irk some of you. Yet also, there are a couple of unpredictable plot twists - something I liked about this series.
I particularly enjoyed seeing both Thai actors and Korean actors in this drama. As someone who has watched both Thai and Korean BLs it was really nice to see the two worlds, and languages combine. I believe the acting was reasonably good too, and although people often find side plots a nuisance, in my opinion they added value to the drama and made it feel more well-rounded.
There are better series than this out there. But this drama was touching, and that's why I recommend it.
