I wanna be buried with this series. I wanna marry it. It's so ADVANCED. I'm a writer and aspiring director and during the entire time I was watching this series all I could think was of how advanced it is. The story/plot is mind-blowing...it explores uncharted territory--PARTICULARLY the background/childhood for BOTH of the leads. It's unique and honestly, a breath of fresh air. It easily breaks stereotypes, things omitted by past dramas. The plot is so up and down that even straight Kdramas fear it. It challenges basic character structure. NOT MANY ASIAN BL DRAMAS TODAY CAN DO THAT. And by not many, I mean like, two or three. The main pairing, both characters surprised me. It's almost a learned trait of a sort now. I can see an actor and automatically know how they're going to act, and it's TERRIBLE. It's refreshing to see such interesting characters.

There's only one thing stopping this from being a 10/10 and that is, as usual, the Taiwanese drama curse. I have never seen a Taiwanese drama that didn't have at least ONE controversial thing. And that thing ALWAYS has the power to ruin the entire series. I hate to say it but Keseki: Dear To Me didn't dodge it. Also the soundtrack didn't stick out to me, never really does. Music is really important, even in series such as these, and there was a severe lack.
